Bring Me to Life

My name is Rob Harvilla.

This is the 49th episode of 60 Songs That Explain the '90s, colon, the 2000s, and this week we are discussing "Bring Me To Life" by the Little Rock, Arkansas rock band Evanescence from their 2003 debut album Fallen.

The label made them add the rapper guy who goes, "Can't wake up," and it arguably makes the song.

Arguably.

We'll see.

Yes, I am aware that "Bring Me To Life" quite surprisingly appeared as a major plot point in a 2025 episode of that cringey, awkward HBO show, The Rehearsal, the Nathan Fielder show, and I hope you're ready for nothing because I only know the memes from that guy's shows because his whole deal sounds way too bleak and discomfiting for me.

My apologies, but we will not be discussing The Rehearsal, even if my editors try to make me.

It's a bad idea.

All right.

Next we have Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.

Ooh.

Keep.

I'm good keeping this.

This is a banger.

All right, so you've kept In Da Club, you've kept Seven Nation Army, you've kept Bring Me To Life.

You've cut Numb by Linkin Park, cut Get Low by Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz.

It was Going Under, was it?

No, Bring Me to Life.

Yep, that was it.

I'm trying to see who this Queen bitch is.

No longer is my home.

Who's gonna bring me to life? Who's gonna bring me to life? Who's gonna bring me to life? Who's gonna bring me to life? Who's gonna bring me to...

Who's gonna bring me to...

Who's gonna bring me to... [electronic music] Who's gonna bring me to... [electronic music] Who's gonna bring me to life? Who's gonna bring me to...

[electronic music] I see.

I'm not literally.

You know what we have? Amy Lee.

Wake Me [laughs] Wake Me Up Inside.

Wake me up inside.

Great, great song.

All-timer.
