Evanescence创始人是女主唱Amy Lee和吉他手Ben Moody。两人初次相识是在几年前的一次青年夏令营中,当时吉他手Ben Moody已小有名气,而Amy Lee当时还只是一名普通的夏令营营员。在一次夏令营的集体娱乐活动中,Ben Moody第一次见到了Amy Lee。当时营员们都在一个大型的体育馆中,Ben Moody正坐在地上看其他的营员在打篮球。而在体育馆的另一侧是一个放着钢琴供营员们表演的一个小舞台。就在Ben Moody感到无聊之际,他忽然听见有人在用钢琴谈奏Meatloaf的《I Would Do Anything For Love》,于是就向钢琴望去,只见一个女孩在自如的演奏着自己创作的一些歌曲。Ben Moody被Amy Lee精湛的技艺和那天籁般的嗓音震撼了,在内心深处,Ben Moody已经认定:没有比她更适合的搭档了。不久之后,随着两人互相了解的逐步加深,Ben Moody和Amy Lee便开始用Evanescence这个名字录制一些歌曲。如:《Give Unto Me》和《Understanding》。两人的金属风格也逐渐形成,这种风格在Goth Metal应该属于Ethereal(仙乐)派。
乐队第一张EP唱片于1998年12月乐队第一次在Vino演出时发行,100多张唱片当晚被狂热的乐迷抢购一空。由于女主唱Amy Lee的个人实力,以及乐队独特的风格,使乐队此后颇受欢迎。随着乐队的日渐成熟,Evanescence于2003年3月4日推出了这张处女唱片。
乐队成员:Amy Lee (主唱/钢琴)Ben Moody(吉他手)John Lecompt(贝斯手/键盘手)Rocky Gray(鼓手)
附上歌词:
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me...
