Evanescence – My Immortal

“My Immortal” is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album Fallen (2003). The song was entirely written by guitarist Ben Moody, with the exception of the bridge, which was later written by lead singer Amy Lee, and it was produced by Dave Fortman. The single version of the song was called “band version” because of the additional band performing the bridge and final chorus of the song. “My Immortal” is a piano rock song written in slow and free tempo. Moody was inspired to write it after the death of his grandfather. Lyrically, it talks about “a spirit staying with you after its death and haunting you until you actually wish that the spirit were gone because it won’t leave you alone.
