I really really love it, it's so strong, I feel like the lyrics are a response to what's happened with Chris and Chester. Amy very strong reaction on FB seems like it promoted this song. It's so different but so edgy and good and definitely radio play worthy. I can't wait til it's officially released so we can hear it in it's entirely and full sound quality. I feel really bad for the band that this has leaked tho. Amy sounded soo soo excited about this song and this moment has been stolen away, such a shame. Lycrymosa I thought the same thing about the first verse and I really dig that kinda of message but second verse sort of takes a different turn and I feel like it is talking to someone else. The lines in the verse particularly: "Do you really know the weight of the words you say." And "Don't look now but the little girl's got a grenade." give off a more political vibe as if she were talking to some one in power...(lets not name names here) The second verse sort of pulls me out of the vibe because Im not quite sure who it's directed to. Perhaps the song will make more sense when played within the album and I'm sure with interviews we will get a better idea of the message.

It does sound like a pop song, but like a a fkin good one
holy shit it's so good and I say that as a person who never listens to something like this
the vocals are just.. amazing i like the way Amy sings it, a lot of singers sound whiny(imo)

I absolutely love it. It's gorgeous. I think the band will need to rush release it to iTunes now. I'm guessing the leak came from a radio station or something who were sent the single in advance. I can't imagine it being someone involved in the studio's side. Although part of me wonders if the leak was deliberate, like a promo thing. Maybe they loved the song so much, but realised it wouldn't get radio play, so turned to alternate means to get interest whipped up. Leaks certainly do that. That's probably an unlikely scenario, but you never know....They would know that they have a lot of hard core fans and hard core fans would still buy the song even if it did leak. If this was a leak by other means, I kind of hope it means that Synthesis' release date will be bumped forward. If someone has managed to leak one of the new tracks, chances are they could very well leak the second. I think it was leaked intentionally to get people interested and spread the word. I believe this has a shot at gathering radio play. How else would it have leaked: the band have the song? Unless it was sent to radio stations (where someone leaked it) and the album tracklist has not even been finalised yet or put together under CD/Digital format yet minus the single so how? It has been known for songs go leak in the past to get people talking so I wouldn't be surprised. When I posted about Your Love snippet being released no one believed me but it was at the time. That's was because one of the L&L guys got permission from EVs management to give the go ahead for releasing Taht snippet. Because I was nice enough and recognised by the L&L team (rather than attacking them) I was allowed to spread the message. So based on this and what I have seen with some other user starting what BMTL was like and then changing their username to the song name, I really am bit surprised. Back on topic: this song is epic. I strongly disagree with another member on here saying it's an Amy Lee song. It's definitely an Evanescence song, you can hear the elements that Amy was talking about. But it definitely reflects the orchestra Vs electronica. The lyrics and the whole feel is pre-Fallen post-Origin. I hear Surrender mixed in with Forever You in places as well their maturer sound. I can't wait to hear this in HQ and more importantly buy a download and blast it on my speaker in my backpack on the way to gym. ๐๐๐๐๐

I'm a little late to the leak party because my wifi was busted till today. But...hoooo boy. Oh wow. Wow. Okay. So...lot of thoughts and feelings here. It's hard to put it all together coherently enough so people will get what I'm saying. There's so much in this song that I've needed for so long. Like a companion I've been silently begging for. It's the answer to a question I've never asked out loud. Anyone who has been in such a dark, hopeless lace and wanted to throw it all away at least knows partly what I mean. This song is so many things but most of all I can hear this plea to stay much like when Amy posted on the Ev Facebook page after Chester's death. This is the...most real thing I've come across in years. It's very real, and...monumental. Huge. Imperfection is everything.

In some ways this is probably the most different kind of lyrics I've ever heard from Amy and on an Ev record. the words she has chosen and how they come one after another fast. how she fires out them like a machine gun and freezes you in place. It has groove, it has attitude, it has everything! and it's one of those kind of songs that slowly begins to shape your thoughts and changes you. It gives you a point of focus... it makes you think! I just love it. LOVE IT SO MUCH! <3333333333

This sounds like something that would be on the Lilywhite album.

I feel really bad for the band that this has leaked tho. Amy sounded soo soo excited about this song and this moment has been stolen away, such a shame. You think she wrote a song after their deaths? The timeline doesn't seem right but who knows. I definitely don't think this song will make it to radio. Definitely not FM. Sirius... eh. Maybe a few plays on a few different channels but y'all are crazy to think this will end up on radio. I'm doubtful this song will even chart. I'm thinking of the Cranberries last album which was similar to this. They reworked their songs, had a few new ones. One was promoted and it was a decent song but never had much media attention. I can almost guarantee the same will happen with Ev. Even if they were to make a video and promote it, where do their music really fit in the mainstream anymore? And wait until this song is actually premiered. Do you realize how many people are going to say, "This isn't Evanescence!" - it's nice to have high hopes, though. Well they were in the studio late July/early August so the timeline would actually fit given that lyrics are one of the last things Amy writes for songs, it would have been fresh on her mind at the time. Also to those speculating that it was leaked on purpose. It wasn't leaked by the band or their management and I guarantee that they are not happy about it. They are working hard to try and block the youtube videos but when it explodes like this, it's hard to contain it. The band actually end up losing money on this because normally they would put it up on their youtube where they could earn money from the views and they are losing out by it being leaked all over the internet. Make sure you listen to it on the official channel when it gets officially posted.

I just realized how beautiful the backing vocals are during the chorus. This song is so amazing.

This is the Evanescence that I've always wanted. I want an entire album of new songs like this!! Gives me more hope for the rest of Synthesis too, I think maybe we'll get more of this kind of thing rather than what Bring Me To Life was.

I'm merely just questioning what you have said. I remember when If You Don't Mind leaked but before it did Amy hinted that they were playing this on the set list or had already began to, so mere concidence? No. Sometimes a leak can generate more money if it creates enough buzz. In this case I hope so because the song deserves so much recognition. Also even though I'll admit I have found an MP3 file I still purchase their music because I am a fan so a leak doesn't prevent me from buying their material and I should hope a lot of the fans are like that else to shame with you all haha

Yes, of course I will purchase the song and give them the views needed. No question about that. Now I would just like to know when it will be released officially.

IYDM wasn't leaked by Ev either, it was on a promo CD that wasn't intended for the public and it was floating around before Ev decided to do it on tour. Remember the band are independent now, if they wanted to release something they would just go ahead and do it. They had a plan in place and a date in mind and were looking forward to sharing this with us on their own terms and that has now been taken away from them, it's not just about the money. Perhaps in some instances it might be true that leaks happen on purpose, but in this case it's not. Ev3 was still very successful on debut even tho it leaked so lets hope people still buy the material for Synthesis when it's released.
