Konposaketa

According to Amy Lee, the song has several meanings, the first being an incident at a restaurant. During an interview from a tour stop in Tulsa she told The Boston Phoenix: "I was inspired to write it when someone said something to me — I didn’t know him, and I thought he might be clairvoyant.[...] I was in a relationship and I was completely unhappy. But I was hiding it. I was being completely abused and I was trying to cover it up; I wouldn’t even admit it to myself. So then I had spoken maybe 10 or 15 words to this guy, who was a friend of a friend. We were waiting for everyone else to show up, and we went into a restaurant and got a table. And he looked at me and said, ‘Are you happy?’ And I felt my heart leap, and I was like, he totally knows what I’m thinking. And I lied, I said I was fine. Anyway, he's not really clairvoyant. But he is a sociology major."[6] Lee said in a VH1 interview: "Open-mindedness. It's about waking up to all the things you've been missing for so long. One day someone said something that made my heart race for a second and I realized that for months I'd been numb, just going through the motions of life."[7] During an interview with Blender, Lee claimed that she wrote "Bring Me to Life" about her longtime friend, Josh Hartzler, whom she married in 2007.[8]

Testuingurua

"Bring Me to Life" was released on April 22, 2003; it was the first single from the band's debut album, Fallen. Wind-up Entertainment president/CEO Ed Vetri, revealed that when the label was pushing the song to the radio, owners stated "We don't play pianos and chicks on rock radio."[9] However, when "Bring Me to Life" was released on the Daredevil soundtrack, listeners demanded air play for the song.[9] The single includes "Farther Away" as a B-side. The first pressing of the Australian single contained the track "Missing" as a B-side,[10] but this was omitted from later pressings and later released as a bonus track on the band's first live album, Anywhere but Home.[11] An acoustic version was recorded and released on the "Bring Me to Life" DVD. Several other versions of the track have been released, such as remixes, acoustic and altered versions. The live version featured on the Anywhere but Home DVD contains a piano and vocal solo before the song's intro and features John LeCompt performing guest vocals.[12]

Internet eta bere eragina.

Evanescence were promoted in Christian stores until the band made it clear they did not want to be considered part of the Christian rock genre, such as fellow Wind-up Records artists Creed.[69] In April 2003, Wind-up Records chairman, Alan Meltzer, wrote to Christian radio and retail outlets to explain that, despite the "...spiritual underpinning that ignited interest and excitement in the Christian religious community", Evanescence are "...a secular band, and as such view their music as entertainment."[70] Therefore, he wrote, Wind-Up "...strongly feels that they no longer belong in Christian markets."[70] Almost immediately, many Christian radio stations removed "Bring Me to Life" from their playlists.[70] Terry Hemmings, CEO of Christian music distributor Provident, expressed puzzlement at the band's about-face, saying: "They clearly understood the album would be sold in these [Christian music] channels."[71] In 2006, Amy Lee told Billboard that she had always opposed Evanescence being identified as a Christian band.[72]
