"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence

It was on this day in 1981 that John Lee and Sara Cargill brought Amy Lee to life, and I'm sure this is neither the first nor the last time she's heard that one...

Anyway, the Goth songstress and vocalist for Evanescence first burst onto the music scene with this powerhouse single, Bring Me to Life, which was the first single from the band's 2003 debut album Fallen. She was inspired to write it, she says, following a particularly bad relationship, during which time she felt she was losing her life by just going through the motions.

Both Lee and the band have followed up their initial success with a 2006 sophomore effort called The Open Door, which spawned five singles, including Call Me When You're Sober; having brought her career to life, there's no telling what Amy Lee might do with it next!
