Yeah it's a good song, looking forward to seeing the video.

Can't wait for this. Lithium" was a good song too bad it flopped, hope this doesn't.

Right amount of promo could help it reach top 20.

I don't think 'The Open Door' will give them another top 10 hit now.

I can't wait for the video though - they're always amazing.

My favourite song of theirs now, it deserves to do better than 'Lithium'.

Well, apparently there was a communication glitch and because of media embargo agreements, no details can be released about the video for 3 weeks yet. Can't see the competition winners keeping quiet about everything though.

Hmm so would you say a late April/early May release for this?

I need to put the album back on - I can't remember what this song is like, but I know it's one of my favourites off the album.

With their latest video, Evanescence have finally done what most artists do with their first.

 

"It's mostly live performance," singer Amy Lee said recently on the set of their "Sweet Sacrifice" video. "It's not so much fluff and flying and tricks and wolves and stuff. It's more really just about the song, and that is unique for us. We usually do crazy stuff."

 

The video does have a "cool twist," which Lee refused to reveal, but it will mainly feature the band performing on a set inspired by 2000's psychotherapist thriller "The Cell." "Like we're in the walls of our minds, sort of," Lee said.

 

Paul Brown, who has directed videos for Audioslave and Matisyahu, helmed the project, which will feature scenes of the live footage projected onto a wall.

 

"It's gonna be sort of like a video within the video," Lee said. "Since the song is our heaviest single, we really wanted to focus on mostly performance but still have something about it that's really unique. And I think [Paul]really hit the nail on the head."

 

The only connection to the other videos for 2006's The Open Door — for "Call Me When You're Sober" (see "Evanescence's Amy Lee Isn't Afraid Of Big Bad Wolf In 'Sober' Clip") and "Lithium" (see "After Facing Big Bad Wolf, Amy Lee Faces Herself In Evanescence Clip ") — is that Lee's wearing a big dress in them, she joked. "But is that really an Evanescence thing?" she pondered.

 

"Sweet Sacrifice," the first track on the album, has been a favorite of Lee's since she first demoed it, although it never stood out as an obvious single.

 

"I think it's very strong and empowering and sort of saying goodbye to all the times in my life that I've been a victim," Lee said. "I just think it's heavy."

 

Evanescence just hit the road for a short U.S. jaunt that will last until April 5 in Glens Falls, New York (see "Evanescence Announce Dates For Spring North American Tour"). That trek will be followed by tours of South America, South Africa, Europe and then the States again.

 

Along with The Open Door singles, Lee says she's enjoyed performing the album track "Your Star" in concert. "It has crazy, difficult, classical piano, so it's fun for me 'cause it's challenging in a different way," she said.

 

In between shows, Lee did manage to see a recent episode of "American Idol" in which Gina Glocksen earned rave reviews for performing "Sober."

 

"I never watch TV, but a friend of mine TiVo'd it and then had me watch it just for fun one night," Lee said. "It's such a surreal thing watching other people perform your songs in the first place, but people that you don't even know on TV doing 'American Idol' and Paula Abdul commenting on it is just a whole other thing. It was pretty hilarious, just 'cause it's our song, but I don't think she did a bad job."

 

So.. most of the video they're performing it.... like on Going Under.. and they have a live video performance on the wall IN the video? Soundss strange. I hope it's not all live performance... but apparently not, there's something to reveal at least.

 

Shouldnt be too long now.

Can't wait to see this, looks good.

oh fantastic song...not my first choice for a single but still i think itll do very well and i cant wait to see the clip

Hmmm I liked what they did with Going Under, it was a performance video but not a straight forward one, it had like an alterior storyline other than just the band standing there performing. Not sure this will have the same egde though... good track however. ^_^

:wub:
