Your Star

Amy's description of the song:
"A couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on
tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling
jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the
stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I
couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the
last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song."

During the bridge, the background choir sings "Alma surdo, loucura,
o­nde está seu alma? Loucura, todo sozinho" (Portuguese with some
grammatical mistakes) which tries to mean "Deaf soul, madness, where is
its soul? Madness, all alone" in English. In correct portuguese it
would be "Alma surda, loucura, onde está a sua alma? Loucura, toda
sozinha".


I love this song, it's one my favorites. I'm happy that Amy speaks about Lisbon lol
I especially like the piano part
But it's true, we can't see many stars in Lisbon.

What do you guys think about his song?

Ooo thats interesting about the background choir!

I personally love Your Star. Its one of my favorite Evanescence songs.

I think it shows how far Amy's songwriting has developed. I love the way the guitars come in half way through the first verse. And it has some of her best vocal work on it.

I agree
It's really good

I'm just sad that th lyrics in Portuguese are wrong
But it's difficult because of the genres...

I Love The Song! But I Have To Admit I Never Heard The Backround Choir!

same here

I thought it was just background noise - didn't realise that they were actually words but i think I can make them out now when Amy sings "all my fears turn to rage"

Me Too I Didn't Think They Were Actual Words!

Yeah me too lol
there's also something like that in Cloud Nine, I'll post it there
