You know Evanescence's song, "My Tourniquet"? They didn't write that. It's actually a toned-down version of the original song by a band called Soul Embraced. It's almost hilarious how the vocalist sings it. Big difference from Amy Lee's soft vocals.

Hm, learn something new everyday ^.^ Thats actually by best friend's favorite song by Evanescence.
"Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Our resident mosher mod Lightbringer here loves Soul Embraced. Yes, it was quite the different rendition, to be sure!

Ahh...heavy metal...

Anyway, I loved both versions. But oddly enough, I found Evanescence's version more depressing.

I like Evanescence, although I wouldn't buy their album (at full price anyway), I think they have a good sound. I just wish the radio would play something other than 'Wake Me Up Inside'. I know a lot of people who don't dig them simply on the basis that they hear that song too much. They were playing the whole cd in a comic book store once, and it was pretty cool. The kind of music I could see myself listening to on a Discman during a long car trip.

Rocky Gray was in Soul Embraced...and thus thats how Evanescence ended up adding that to there Fallen CD. As Rocky is there drummer. I personaly prefer the Evanescence verson myself...but that could be because I think Amy Lee is one of the most talented female vocalists I have ever heard. Listen to there real old stuff like the EPs and Origin. She shows off some serious vocals on those...

I must agree. It's too different worlds.

Amy: My God, my Tourniquet!
Dude from Soul Embraced: MAA WAH, MAA TORNOWET!
