Written by: A. Lee, B. Moody, and D. Hodges
The first single from Evanescence’s multi-platinum debut album Fallen. The song was honored with the award for Best Hard Rock Performance at the 2004 Grammy Awards.
Amy became inspired to write the song after an incident that occurred while she was sitting in a restaurant. “I was inspired to write it when someone said something to me. I didn’t know him, and I thought he might be clairvoyant”, says Lee from a tour stop in Tulsa. “I was in a relationship and I was completely unhappy. But I was hiding it. I was being completely abused and I was trying to cover it up; I wouldn’t even admit it to myself. So then I had spoken maybe 10 or 15 words to this guy, who was a friend of a friend. We were waiting for everyone else to show up, and we went into a restaurant and got a table. And he looked at me and said, “Are you happy?” And I felt my heart leap, and I was like, he totally knows what I’m thinking. And I lied, I said I was fine. Anyway, he’s not really clairvoyant. But he is a sociology major.”
In an interview with MTV she said: “Basically, we go through life every day, kind of doing the same thing, going through the motions, and nothing phases us for the most part, then one day something happens that wakes you up and makes you realize that there’s more to life than just feeling nothing, feeling numb. It’s as if you’ve never felt before and just realized there’s this whole world of emotion or meaning that you’ve never seen before. It’s just like, ‘Wow, I’ve been asleep all this time.”

Wish I could run this through the home theater and crank it up for the whole neighborhood to hear. Unfortunately the pacemaker owners around here probably wouldn't appreciate it near as much as the Gen X crowd would. ;-) Absolutely amazing song...powerful!
