My Immortal

I think we just say bring me to life for the jokes of it.

The simple – no, My Immortal is the toughest one.

But I think maybe – I don't know.

Maybe like probably we could go back to the Godsmack stuff and probably think about a couple of those.

mean, it is fair to point out that, yeah, Lee herself, I would say, is pretty transcendent.

I mean, because even in the same album, you've got My Immortal, you know?

Yeah.

So is that new metal? No.

So like the first three tracks are the ones that everybody hears all the time.

Bring Me to Life.

I think My Immortal is in the

first three.

They are one of the producers on her track Call on Me we'll be talking about later.

Their most notable 2000s work, including Doesn't Really Matter by Janet Jackson, a soundtrack song for Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, which is a totally normal love song, except she awkwardly has to segue into, "I'm feeling nutty, nutty, nutty for you." They also worked on the Mel B song Feel So Good, which has probably my favorite use of the word yippee in popular culture.

He was also notably one of the writers of Shaggy's track Love Me Love Me from the early 2000s, which indeed originally appeared on a movie soundtrack and featured Janet Jackson as a duet, but they could not get her record label to sign off on releasing the collab as a single, and so the single version features a completely different singer, who off the top of my head is called Samantha Cole.

And you may think, "Why are you spending all this time talking about Janet Jackson when we're supposed to be talking about Chanel?" It's because there is literally nothing to say about this woman.

When the night.

Takes us to a song entering this chart on downloads, so expect this to shoot up the chart next week.

We'll see whether it has what it takes to join their three top 10 hits so far, Going Under, my personal favorite, My Immortal, and of course, their number one hit, Bring Me To Life.

This, though, is the first single from their second album, The Open Door.

Yeah, now he's looking like an edgy goth.

It's time to cry tears of blood while we all sit around and listen to the Red X version of My Immortal.

Hey, have you seen it yet? Have you seen it? I stand behind this content.

[laughs] So now that he looks the part, what does he do? Well, he stands up on a lunch table, dressed like an anti-pope, and calls her name out six times.

to heal This pain is just too real

All right, for my last song, I am going with the hauntingly beautiful My Immortal.

I always try to save the best for last.

This is a quiet, aching song that just sits with you.

The song gives you these feelings, the kind you get late at night when everything is quiet.

And then the memories start creeping in.

My Immortal... is about loss, lingering pain, and the ghost of someone who's still emotionally present, even when they're not there anymore.

Whether it's a breakup or a death, the song captures that heaviness perfectly.

something

about My Immortal by Evanescence.

If you guys have not heard that song or remember that song.

She got some pipes.

Fallen, an album that would eventually sell over 16 million copies.

Wow! Hot damn! Aside from Bring Me to Life, this album also included three other massive hits, My Immortal, Going Under, and Everybody's Fool.

Now, John,

I actually have

They sound like the same band.

Don't get me wrong, they sound like the same band and they belong on the same album, but My Immortals is very much a piano ballad, you know? As opposed to Bring Me to Life is a hard rock song.

With some piano in the intro,

but yeah.

of my favourite performances at download ever when we watched them on second yeah

me you and Drew stood there so I think it just ended up on Ellis it was the four of us yes And when they did the Fallen medley and she sat down at that piano and started playing My Immortal, the four of us just sobbed.

Tears.

We just all stood there and cried.

Did they play any other major hits?

Oh yes, they played classics like My Immortal and Bring Me to Life, but this whole collaboration is a new direction for them.

Right, and it ties back to their new album too.

I Read That End of You is part of a bigger theme they're exploring.
