About This Track
Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody
“My Immortal” is one of the most popular songs ever recorded by Evanescence. This song lasts the entire span of Evanescence’s recording history. It is credited as the 4th song ever written for Evanescence. Ben Moody wrote the original in full when he was 15 years old. It is the second song that he wrote for the band (Understanding is credited as his first). In the later versions of the song, Amy Lee is credited to have written the bridge and the coinciding piano part to the song. There are seven different recorded versions of the song. The Fallen version of the song has strings by composer Graeme Revell.
Until near the end of 2002, the Fallen version was played live. They then began playing the Band version, which later became the version they released as a single. When performed live, Amy is playing the piano herself, but the notes are changed into a much simpler melody, probably to avoid mistakes during live playing. Amy has stated she hates the song because she can never really relate to it (and that you can notice when performing live), since it is not hers and not based on real events.
The Mystary EP version is like the band version’s demo recording. Amy is playing piano with added strings in the background. It also has some similarities to the Fallen version, although a lot of fans say that this one has a more sophisticated piano arrangement. Amy also takes short pauses in the choruses. The verses don’t have much of a difference to the band version. Like the Fallen version, this version doesn’t include the rock part at the end. Wind-up Records were unhappy with this version and decided that the Origin version was best, but with more strings in the background.

The funny thing about this song is that I used to think of it as a declaration of dependence of friendship or a unsuccessful relationship, but now I see some sociophobic points in this song, just flawless.
