Amy Lee plays Legends And Lyrics

In front of a shining black Baldwin piano, Amy Lee of Evanescence made her first real performance in over a year…and it was a good one. On February 23, 2009, the hauntingly beautiful singer/songwriter could be found at a taping of Legends and Lyrics in Nashville, Tennessee, sharing the stage with artists Gavin DeGraw and Dwight Yoakam.

Though out of her element in an ''in the round" session, she quickly made herself comfortable at the piano, performing an acoustic set with guitar (cue Terry Balsamo of Evanescence) and cello. The trio can only be described as raw, ethereal, and haunting.

Lee, the first of the artists to perform, began with Bring Me To Life from the album Fallen, setting the bar for the program. Before delving into Lithium, from album The Open Door, Amy felt the need to clarify the meaning of the song. Speculating that there were likely many interpretations, she explained simply that the song was about choosing to feel over choosing numbness. Good Enough, also from album The Open Door, was described by Lee as the “happy song” of the evening. Before Call Me When You’re Sober, again from The Open Door, she went on to explain how the song was created from two very different pieces, one from her, one from Terry.

For Amy’s final song of the evening, it was a surprise and an honor to be privy to her new song, one that had not yet been performed for a public audience. From the first few notes and syllables uttered, Lee held the crowd, including Gavin DeGraw and Dwight Yoakam, in the palm of her hand. The piece, entitled Your Love, was described as being about love that cannot work. It took a few moments for the spell to wear off once the song was over.

There are artists whose live performances fall short, that disappoint. Amy Lee is not one of those
artists. Her emotions run deep and when she bares herself to her audience, it’s difficult not to take notice; you cannot just hear her words, you feel them as well.

These sessions of Legends and Lyrics are expected to begin airing in April 2009. Mark your calendars, you won’t want to miss this one.

oh and here is Amy's new post on Evthreads
hey guys
Hey everybody.
I just wanted to check in and say hi. I saw all the stuff about "evanescence day" and didn't realize it was the anniversary of our first major release! Six years!? It feels all that was a lifetime ago. I remember the day it came out, we were in Seattle on tour and we walked down to a local record store, which is crazy in itself now that those are basically extinct, and bought a copy apiece. Actually I bought 2 copies for extra luck. I don't really remember much from around then- its a blur. But I remember that there was a poster of our album cover in the window of the little place, and that was a big deal. I took a picture. Speaking of record stores, did you guys hear that all the Virgin stores are closing? Its so sad. And weird. We really will see the end of record stores in our lifetime. It wasn't as shocking when just the smaller stores started going out of business, but now no Virgin Megastore in NYC?? Circuit City is closing too. I don't know, just rambling, but I'm going to miss walking into a music store, browsing around at stuff I don't need, asking the guy at the counter what cd was on in the store because I like it and buying it, and just feeling like there's a place where I kinda belong. Maybe its petty and stupid, but there's just something really magical about looking around at the history of music- from the Beatles to Neil Young to Nirvana to Bjork- and having a little place there. Right between the Eurythmics and Everclear. I hope that this new era of seemingly limitless information will still have some magic. I hope great music will still shine through when there's an impossibly bigger sea of noise. I hope that radio stations and record companies will either find a way to restore their confidence in music and originality or just go ahead and die already.
So the Legends and Lyrics thing was pretty crazy. Turns out Dwight Yoakam is a complete badass. I guess I'm the last to know because I don't usually listen to country, but I don't care what you like, he is the real thing. A musician, an entertainer, a storyteller, a pro. Gavin DeGraw was extremely talented too. He's a great songwriter and his voice is insane. I'm only saying all this because I really didn't know anything at all about either of them before going to Nashville. The fact that the three of us sat around in a circle on stage and played songs in the same setting was somewhere between genius and hilarious- we're all vastly different. I think thats why I liked it so much. The banter was akward for sure but the music was really good. I'm nervous and excited to watch it. Thanks to you hungry, sleep deprived people that trekked it long distances to support us that day. It meant alot to me. Thank you to Susana and Kaiden for the cupcake kit and I LOVED THAT CARD! My sister Carrie was there with me and we played the pirate song over and over cracking up later that night. Kaiden, you are awesome and I wish I could get hugs from you every day!
I'm excited about the music I've been working on lately- no nametags yet so relax!- I hope to be always growing and edging toward the outskirts of my comfort zone. Thank you for appreciating the music I've made so far, and thank you for sticking around in the quiet times.

love,
Amy

*dies* Amy!!!! She is so awesome but she didn't say anything about the song and I wanna know evrything about it

I'm really fascinated to hear some of this stuff, I think its really great thats she doesn't seem to be able to even name tag the stuff she's doing. Its exciting!

I figured that Ev don't about the World day! no band ever know about it!!!

she should've said anything about the song doesn't she know how excited everyone is?!

Awww I get all happy inside everytime there's an update from Amy, it just reminds me that she's still out there and making her awesome music. I hate and love that she leaves all of us in the dark about her new creations... I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Yes she's working on a new song and everything =] lets just wait.... hope for good one

THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats all I can say
*goes off to die*

My, aren't we articulate?

This is very cool stuff to hear, though.
