Hello

[brainy smurf]

This thread is about the song Hello, from fallen.

this song is not only my favorite ev song of all time (though it's a close tie to whisper2002 \M/) ist also one of the top 5 songs EVER in my book.

quoting briefly from the history available on other sites, Hello is a song Amy wrote to express her feelings over the death of her little sister, who died at a very young age. (BTW, we don't know why she died, and asking isn't a good idea, so DONT or you will likely be reprimanded.:eek:

To date, i am not aware of it ever being performed live in concert, and i belive it to be the only song on fallen never to be performed.

this song stirs feelings in me few songs ever have. in a word, this song is just simply AWSOME!!!

[lithium84]

i totally agree this song is so emotional and i just tear up when i hear it.

[Exurbia]

Yeah actually I was just listening to Fallen last night. Been a long time since I listen to it... I teared up when Hello came on.

[nananess]

I love this song. It's beautiful. But when you know what it's about, it's hard not to feel sad...

[*fallen angel :)]

I agree with all of you.
I love tis song It's probbably one of my favourites and after I discovered what it was about everytime I listen to it I feel so sad!It almost makes me cry!It's so emotional!

[Dark_raven]

This song is very deep and very powerful, im listening to it as i type this, you can almost hear amy's heart break, i dont know what it is about this song, but it has almost brought me to tears once or twice, it really grabbed me. from the day i bought the album, it has stuck in my head.....it reminds all of us that grief is a part of life, dont fix me im not broken......
my heart broke the first time i heard this song, thats why i listen to it all the time.....

[Clayton]

yes a very beautiful, but very emotional song. And I understand why Amy never plays it live... It's too personal and too emotional, and would just draw tears!

[Sarah]

I love this song as well.. it shows a very deep passion.. it's great =]

[A*Morbid*Hope]

It still boggles my mind that when the end of the song is played backwards, Amy says "It hurts me all over", when I first heard it I was like..:eek: ...it was cool, I believe it's a coincidence. Lol, still, a touchingly beautiful song of sorrow....just beautiful...:) :) :)

[PaNkUsHkA]

It is a remarkable song =) it very much is pleasant to me =) if I start it to listen to that I can listen infinitely it very real

[Katherine]

Beautiful song. Not that it means much, but one of my favourite lyrics from Evanescence. Delicate and still it's got some power. Also, Amy's voice is beautiful here.

[Gucci_Boots]

EASILY my favorite song of Evanescence, and one of my favorite songs ever.
it's just amazing.
and full of emotion.
and reality.

[dark_whisper]

gawd i love the cello in this song. makes it very emotional and gives light color of tone to the music.

[Daniel_P_16]

This is one of my all-time favorite songs. The sad tone that Amy puts into her voice and the lyrics tell me she really loved her sister and misses her so much.

[Chiara]

It's a beautiful song,i love it so much. I understand why Amy has never sang it in concert.

[LuckyStar]

"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken" is one of my favorite lyrics, and was pretty much my mantra throughout highschool.

[Afterglow]

Can't believe I missed this thread... This is the. Best. Song. Ever. I'm absolutely in love with it, fell in love with it on first hearing, argggh the piano!!! The metaphors are amazing, I actually didnt realise what it was about until I read it somewhere, and Amy's voice is amazing, you could her the pain :(. So much better than Like You if you ask me, please dont kill me

Like You doesn't even compare.

[Before-The-Dawn]

I truly love Hello. It's not only sad but the way Amy is telling you how she feels is unbelieveable.. When i first got this cd I listened to this song and how she sounds and lyrics cought my attention. It not only reminded me of my sisters death but it reminded me of how Amy lost her sister and i feel the pain she went through.. I love this song more than any song on Fallen.

[Innocent Eyes]

This song got sung on Australian Idol, i was not impressed. it was sung pretty well, but that someone who probably deems themself a fan sang a song which i think is best heard when in your room by yourself, not being sung to a massive audience when Amy makes the decision not to do so. (just my opinion)

'Don't try to fix me i'm not broken' is one my my favourite lyrics from Ev. It's so simple but so powerful.

of course she never did it live, she would mostly start crying on stage :(

[brainy smurf]

there are actually two versions of hello, the demo version and the fallen version. slightly different but both still totally awsome. btw, while the song has never been performed live onstage, ive heard others int he concer threads state that the instrumental track was used ocassionally as prelude music whild the band was comint onstage. also, if i'm not mistakien when Amy's childhood piano was sold for charity on ebay, the guy who bought it got a cnance to jam with amy and played it while she sang it, making it a very rare live performance.

[Halah]

I haven't listened to this is a while so as I saw this thread I put it on :)

This song also has a personal meaning for me as it was with me through all the dark period of my life.
This was also the song that grabbed my attention when I first played the cd.

Never have I heard a song so heart breaking and emotional all into one.

[ExclusiveEvanescence]

^ yeah that's so true. this and 'the last song i'm waisting on you'

[Birgitta]

I think 'hello' is definately one of my favourite songs ever, of all time. It also has a very deep and personal meaning for me. It's such a beautiful song.

[Darkangelofrock]

I love this song, and I love singing this song. The lyrics are so amazing, and the way she sings, it's just like a whisper. A whisper from the little girl had lost her sister. We can almost feel her pain. I can't listen to this without crying, and I'm sure, I'm not the only one ! Amy voice is a mix of deep and hopeless emotions. It's so amazing !

Yeah, you can feel the sadness of this song even if you don't know or understand the lyrics. It has a very dark atmosphere, full of pain and sorrow, and it's very easy to cry when you listen to it.

[Evil Vampiress]

there are actually two versions of hello, the demo version

Omg, there's a demo version? Why are they slighty different?

[CLens]

Omg, there's a demo version? Why are they slighty different?

the piano is the same, but the bass clef is much softer. i don't think they used a real cello on the demo. i think they used shore sound effects right before, "suddently i know..etc." amy's voice doesn't sound as mature either.

listen to it here:

http://evanescencereference.info/music/

[AeternusAmatorius]

Okay. Is the "Hello" demo are those strings that start to fade in at 1:13. Or is that a choir with some effects on it? It's been bugging me.

I think they're strings but in a way I think it's a choir.


Omg, there's a demo version? Why are they slighty different?

There is a demo for every "Fallen" song except "My Immortal." There's mostly two for each but some there are 3.

[Fabricio]

there are like 3 demos for my immortal too

[AeternusAmatorius]

there are like 3 demos for my immortal too

They're not really demos. They're just different versions.

[Hollee]

This song makes me cry. I can hear Amy's pain. It just gets to me. And I start to cry. I feel bad for Amy. But I was shocked when I heard there was a message when you play it backwards. I am never going to listen to that.

It's not necesarily a 'message' per say, more of a coincidental sequence of words when played backwards. it actually adds that much more emotion and pain to the song and makes me look at the song from a totally different perspective.

[Sir_Jota]

It's a great song... it's way so deep. I almost cried when I heard it first.
And also is so lovely to play on the piano, I really like to play it. Though it's a bit repetitive, but at the same time is way so deep... so you don't care much of it after all.
The cello solo there is fulled of emotions; it's SO great!
And the last part of Amy's vocals. "Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday". It's like one of the most dramatic parts ever.

[twilight princess]

At first i didnt get it bu t i like it, but now that I know what its about i love, its one of my favorite songs. One day when i was listening to it i was so depressed I started crying and i felt her pain. It was so overwhelming, and it was weird cause i almost never cry, only when i am VERY angry.
Even writing about it makes me sad. Now i have a lump in my throat.
Poor amy.

[ev_malice]

I love this song. It's beautiful. But when you know what it's about, it's hard not to feel sad...

that is exactly how i feel about it too

Poor amy.

See I'm the other way around. I'm numb to that stuff since I went through it all of my life but I still feel her pain.

I usually cry to this song and "My Immortal (Band/Mystery Versions)" when I'm depressed, really angry/at my breaking point, or when I need to break down and get everything out.

I also cry to "The Last Song I'm Wasting On You" because it's so powerful. And "Good Enough" because there's this guy and he's completely awesome. Yes I like him, alot. 8 months alot that is. and he just... i donno. Doesn't make me feel good enough but makes me feel like I'm worth something. No, I'm not with him. I will never be with him. That's fact. But it's the joy of being turtored. lol. I'm weird.

[CatherineLovett]

I....just.....love this song. One of my top Ev favorites. Every time I hear it, I cry...it's so sad, and so beautiful at the same time...

[ashton78]

Hello is one of my favorite songs it has a lot of personal meaning to me.

[Cuddie]

I love Hello. it is so powerfull. the backround story to the song makes it really sad and i always feel so bad for amy when i hear it because of the pain she must have felt losing someone so close to her :(

[FFXSoul91]

I love this song. It's a powerful and painful ballad about Amy losing someone extremely close to her at a young age, her sister. It kind of opens the door of seeing through the eyes of a hurt child, as does "Like You" on The Open Door.

[TwistedShadow]

Great song, with a unique out look on Amy's sister. it's a lot like Bleed, or 'I Must Be Dreaming', but it's better. Bleed is also about Amy's sister, of course. Amy's best writing seems to come out of the death of her sister-which is good, of course, that she, like few people, can use that sadness and articulate it with strong choruses and great songs. But, i guess most songs about a lost loved one are good

examples
Hello - Amy's sister
Like You - Amy's sister
Tears of heaven - Eric Clapton's son
*Sometimes you Cant' Make it on Your Own - Bono's daddy
River - Natalie Merchant's song for River phoenix
Candle in the Wind - Elton John's versions for Marilyn Monroe, and P. Diane


I hope someone writes a good song for Anna Nicole Smith--she was a great person, and i miss her a lot. Very beautiful, more so than most women.


* Best song ever

[TerryChibi-chan]

yes a very beautiful, but very emotional song. And I understand why Amy never plays it live... It's too personal and too emotional, and would just draw tears!

its my favorite song. It would be sad if she did and started crying on stage.
I'd start crying too and people would look at me wierd

[AeternusAmatorius]

Don't get mad at me but while searching on youtube for amy lee I found this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP7FQ3cjtuY

I wanted to share it with you guys.

Yea. That's when Casey, the guy playing the piano, went to go pick up that piano for his friend who later put it up on eBay and it went to spain.

[AeternusAmatorius]

I would have kept the piano. It is special. I heard that story. It's hard to hear Amy sing in the video. But now I wonder why he sold it on ebay. I wish I could meet Amy at her house.

He sold the piano because he had a child. He didn't give all the reasons why he sold it. He just said he had sold it because of the new born and he couldn't have it with a new born in the house, or that he couldn't afford it with the new child, or something like that.

[widowmaker]

This is the only song ever that has affected me significantly. No other song i've heard in my lifetime compares with how this song has changed me as a person.

[Pandabearmaster]

I like this song alot and i made this video cuz i heard that there was a subliminal (however you spell it) message in it.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Kmv58LKMr44

(sorry if this video isnt allowed for some reason, and i hope Amy doesnt notice)

[Gone Still]

This is quite a very, very sad song...I loved it since I first heard it. And I'm not surprised that Amy doesn't want to play it live, it would be hard NOT to collapse.

[Svetlana-S.V.D.]

This song is beyond any catagory of songs I love!
It's special !!!

It's just special!!!


edit: right now I'm listening to the demo for the first time! it's outstending... so real... and... I cry! it's so simple... so strong

[Darkangelofrock]

I made an Home made video for the song Hello. It's made with many videos of Ev. Hope you'll enjoy it !

just do a youtube search for "amy lee hello" it'll give you the recording.

please dont hate me for posting that

[Chiara]

Thanks for the news! Why we have to hate u?

[waterboi]

I dunno mods may have viewed it as shareing or something, i dunno.

[Broken-Angel-Wings]

I Love this song,

I can play the piano for it as well

:):)

[evmad25]

Hello is a beautiful song, i get so sad everytime i listen to it but i can listen to it over and over for ages.

[Victoria]

It's magnificient(???) song..

[Black_pearl]

my favourite is breathe no more but hello is great too :)

[AeternusAmatorius]

I was just partially playing along with the instrumental track and piano. It's was weird though, because I've never done it before. I messed up on a few parts but that's bound to happen.

I also agree with evmad25, except the sad part though. I view it as a happy song because when you play it when you're sad, it makes you feel a lot better because it is a sad song but it feels like you're putting your sadness into your own masterpiece. Along with the "My Immortal (Band Version)."

[TheLostOne]

It still boggles my mind that when the end of the song is played backwards, Amy says "It hurts me all over", when I first heard it I was like..:eek: ...it was cool, I believe it's a coincidence. Lol, still, a touchingly beautiful song of sorrow....just beautiful...:) :) :)

What do you meen by backwards? I'm a little slow... :p

_____________________________
Yes, this song is so beautiful. My fav. from fallen. But I like "Like You" a lot too. I can definetly reale to both.

[TheLostOne]

Yeah, and by the way. My immortal. Ben wrote that one originally, right? And then they changed it a little? But what is that song really about?

[AeternusAmatorius]

Yeah, and by the way. My immortal. Ben wrote that one originally, right? And then they changed it a little? But what is that song really about?

"My Immortal" was written by Ben. The original Piano-Vocal one was all of Ben's work, except for the piano, I think that was Amy. The "Origin" version and up was with Amy's and David's work put together as well as Ben's work.

Okei, thanks :)

[arianna]

Hello is my favourite song of Fallen and has of the deep words much and can understand the Amy's pain above all losing one sister if died in a young age.

[TradedWorth]

Yeah, and by the way. My immortal. Ben wrote that one originally, right? And then they changed it a little? But what is that song really about?
I heard somewhere Ben wrote it about his grandfather who passed away.


Hello Is and will forever be my favorite Ev ballad. (TLSIWOY isn't far behind)

[Last Angel]

It's my only fave Ev song that never changes. The other day I was singing my little brother some songs for him to sleep easily and when I was singing Hello, I looked at him, my voice started wobbling and I started tearing. It's so emotional and you can feel it in yourself. Just reminds you of how much you love people, and how much it hurts to lose them.

[fallen_angel0706]

wow it does. I neve noticed.

[FFXSoul91]

I'm ashamed that this song was my least favorite on Fallen after my new experience with the cd... it's actually now one of my most anticipated songs to hear when I listen to the cd, especially with it being after Taking Over Me, my current least favorite song off of Fallen. It's definently a highlight of Fallen. Amy's vocals are so powerful and emotional on this song. It's brought me to tears on a number of occasions.

[AeternusAmatorius]

:)


Okei, thanks :)

You're welcome. :D

I heard somewhere Ben wrote it about his grandfather who passed away.

That's the most known dedication/why it was written, but others say he dedicated it his grandfather after the video release. But I donno what to believe. But he did write it when he was 15.

Yea. That happens to me sometimes too. But now that I can play the entire thing on the piano, I just play it when I'm sad. But I also like listening to it as well as playing it.

[Gail]

It's so emotional and you can feel it in yourself. Just reminds you of how much you love people, and how much it hurts to lose them.

That's...a really beautiful way of putting it.

'Hello' is a very special Evanescence song. It's so sombre and sometimes I like to think of it as Amy's 'Immortal - ' as she later sings in 'Like You,' "And though I may have lost my way, all paths lead straight to you." I think that's the essence of 'Hello.' The confusion and fear in Amy's voice is a stark portrait of innocence lost.
It feels strange to hear this song in a shop, as I did recently. This song demands privacy and personal reflection.

[danica]

My definate #1 Amy Lee(EV) song! It portrays the story of my life, I suppose in so many ways, therefore, It's a melodic chapter to me.

[Trina Segelbaum]

YES, I agre with everyone!! This is probably one of the songs that Amy holds closest to her heart, And Like You!! I think this song is WAY to personal, for Amy to ever play live!! This song always makes me cry, just hearing every word that is said, I can't help but break down!!:( This song Is every feeling, emotion Amy carrys inside!! TO AMY, Thank you for being able to share this song with everyone of us, YOUR FANS!! It takes great strength, and courage, and you have it all in you!!:§smile:

[FFXSoul91]

Whoever made this video did a really amazing job. Best "Hello" video I've ever seen:

Ih61MJ72v1Y

[GaurdianAngel]

Is it just me, or does it sound like Amy's crying (or on the verge of tears) at "Sunddenly I know I'm not sleeping, Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday" to anyone else?

[G0th1cR0s3]

I absolutly love this song. It's so beautiful, so emotional. And it doesn't matter whether you've lost someone, or not, everyone can relate to the lyrics - that feeling of constant sadness, the fact that (at times) you truly believe you cannot be fixed, and how you can mask it all with just a smile and a good lie. This song is truly one of the most gorgeous pieces of music ever written in history (or so I believe). It has some meaning to everyone.

[Tormented]

Is it just me, or does it sound like Amy's crying (or on the verge of tears) at "Sunddenly I know I'm not sleeping, Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday" to anyone else?

yeah, i think so. thats the part that i always get emotional/teary at. EVERY TIME... doesnt matter when i hear it. its one of my faves from fallen. =D

[Rain listener]

this is my fav song

[Hollee]

Wow. That video is amazing. Just....wow. They had to have spent a LOT of time on that. Just...I'm floored.

[binni]

Wow, the sinking scene from Lithium looks so much better in BW.

I made this one a while back. Hello has always been my absolute favorite song by Evanescence.

[HauntedMina]

Anyone know where I could download the demo of Hello? I've looked high and low, and I can't find it...
Sorry if this isn't allowed.

[GaurdianAngel]

It's under the "demos" EP in the Ev Referance for downloads?

[Gone Still]

A very sad, but good song. I really like how much emotion Amy puts into this song. I'm thankful that I can't relate to this song much, unlike some other Ev songs. I especially love the part where she sings "suddenly I know I'm not sleeping. Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday..."

[MyImmortalFool]

Couldn't have said it better myself, my thoughts exactly. But I wish Amy didn't have to relate to, or well write, the song either...:(

[LC Lithium]

This song is great, in spite of it's sad meaning... I love it...
I really like the fact that Amy is saying Hello when she should be saying goodbye... Sometimes it creeps me...

[Stranger]

Hi... I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find some sheet music for this song. I haven't been able to find any so far... By the way, I saw a guy and girl play this at a Cafe nearby (the guy played guitar, the girl piano + vocals) amazing combination... I'll try and get a video up soon...

[GaurdianAngel]

^ No, I think you just have to buy it off of somewhere. Like Amazon.com.

[FrozenFear]

hmm unfortunatly hello is probably my least favourite song by evanescence. it's still a really good song i just never got into it completely like all the others.

[FFXSoul91]

I was listening to this song pretty loud today and I noticed at the very end where the final piano note is being carried out, you can hear the foot peddle lift back up before the song ends. Just pointing it out.

[Arwen300]

^yah I noticed that too...I love stuff like that for some reason.

[FFXSoul91]

^yah I noticed that too...I love stuff like that for some reason.

Me too. :)

I think it's my complete favorite piano ballad. I'm not 100% sure, but Hello, Breathe No More, and The Last Song I'm Wasting On You are definently my 3 favorites.

[Daniel_P_16]

I was listening to this song pretty loud today and I noticed at the very end where the final piano note is being carried out, you can hear the foot peddle lift back up before the song ends. Just pointing it out.

I have never noticed that, but I'll be sure to listen loud enough to catch it next time!

[Last Angel]

This song is great, in spite of it's sad meaning... I love it...
I really like the fact that Amy is saying Hello when she should be saying goodbye... Sometimes it creeps me...

I think she's saying hello as "Hello, is anybody out there?" If you look at the lyrics, it talks about how Amy was too little to understand death and she thought it was some kind of hide and seek and she was expecting her sister to come out of somewhere.

If I smile and don't believe, soon I know I'll wake from this dream (she smiles because she thinks it's a game)

Don't try to fix me I'm not broken (because she still doesn't believe she's gone)

Hello, I'm the lie living for you so you can hide... (she's calling out for her to come out of where she's hiding)

Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping... Hello, I'm still here, all that's left of yesterday (as "I know the truth now, but I'm still waiting for you, for the memory of yesterday")

[Luminescence]

this song really gets me, and the way you explaned it Last Angel, it simply made me tear up...

Anyway, I wrote the song long ago, just found it in old files, it's what I think I hear, THIS IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLLY, it's just some creative writing I put together...
All the ya('s) refur to you... keep in mind while reading.


Hello Reversed.

Heee----hey!

No sign of friends
S'no more
He hurt me all over
Hear me it was not me--- yeah
Let us..

Knock the door, May
Know yourself
Giving,
Ya love me all
My immoral inside your voice, your snores
Yourself, you love or ya lose
Evil
One night, I'll still feel

Wall
Oh there is no one swinging,
Annoy me all
Hear me, run
Just lay low so no one says, yeah
May, Into snow shake here
May,
Your love all, snore here…


AGAIN NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLLY! It's just something I put together. some of it might not make sense though:p
It make me sad sometimes to sing it backward...andI start laughing when I read "your snore," and "snore here" xD but it makes sense to me, as in sleep here.

[Star of Sorrow]

Hello is one of my least favorite Evanescence songs. Don't get me wrong, I think the lyrics are powerful, beautiful, or emotional. It's just the way the melody and piano flow. It doesn't draw me in as much as I would like. That being said, it's still a good song...

[Deadly Poison]

My favorite song EVER. It's so emotional and it often makes me cry...I can feel Amy's grief and that hurts me so much...

[FFXSoul91]

It's so emotional and it often makes me cry...I can feel Amy's grief and that hurts me so much...

Agreed. It's definently one of the saddest Evanescence songs ever.

[SleepingRefuge]

My favorite song EVER. It's so emotional and it often makes me cry...I can feel Amy's grief and that hurts me so much...

It's one of my favorite too but if you're talking about the sadness then th song Missing own it.

[aleeksandra118]

i can't fall asleep w/o listening to this one- i guess it makes me feel like i have company, even though i've never gone through losing a sibling. i dunno- but it's definetly my #1, if not that, #2 fav ev song

[Tasty Cakes]

This song makes me sad :( I almost never listen to it.
But don't get me wrong. I definitely love it :)

[jumpershoot]

When I first heard this song I was like "And I thaught My Immortal was depressing" It certainly is a touching song, especially after I found out what its about. It could put a tear in a demon's eye.

[HauntedMina]

This is such a passionate, touching song. For me, it's the song on Fallen that you just can't ignore, and possibly one of the best ;) although I love all of Fallen, with the exception of MI. ^^

I can't go a day without listening to this song. It sorta gives me comfort, in an odd way, if that makes sense.

[L]

I wish they would use the cello like they did on this song. It makes it even more heartbreaking IMO.

[Tasty Cakes]

The cello makes it sooooooooooo much more beautiful!

[amy's biggest fan]

did u know that that song is for her dead 3 month old sister who died in 1987?
So is "Like You" on The Open Door!

[Rain listener]

did u know that that song is for her dead 3 month old sister who died in 1987?

Um, yes. And not to be picky, but I think that her sister was three years old, not three months.

[Arwen300]

Hun, its about her deceased 3 year old sister ;) just thought I should correct you on that..

Nothing wrong with forgeting something;)

[Nastya]

When I have heard Hello for the first time I have been shocked, I did not know about what this song and have simply heard to its two hours on end, constantly and without interruption. Has passed four years, I love it as, my friends and schoolmates speak all to me that they too listen to it when it badly or sadly. Though are not fans of Evanescence

[AllAlone]

So Sad song =[

[amy's biggest fan]

yes but a wonderful song though.:cool:

[Eviscerate]

It's made me lose many a tear. You can easily 'get lost' in it

[CristalCamisado]

I swear my heart stopped the first time I heard "Has no one told you she's not breathing?". I love this song, probably my fave off Fallen. It's also where I got my username from =]. I love how there's a clock ticking at the end. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I still like it...

[AllAlone]

Lyric is so Beautiful and when i Listening to it i can hear lyric so clearly.... amy singing it from heart and it's realy Painfull =[

[Himmelslicht]

The first of all is that the meaning of the song is much more meaningful cause the way Amy's singing it. Not for it's lyrics. I think so...

[Chiara]

It's meaningful either for the way she sings it and for the lyric.

[AeternusAmatorius]

I swear my heart stopped the first time I heard "Has no one told you she's not breathing?". I love this song, probably my fave off Fallen. It's also where I got my username from =]. I love how there's a clock ticking at the end. I don't know if it's intentional or not but I still like it...

Lol. It's not a clock. It's a metronome. Or wait, it could be a clock as the resemblance of the time that's passed and she still hasn't forgotten...

But the metronome thing makes more sense since you can hear the pedal being lifted.

[Evan]

This song it's my favourite one from fallen, usually I say my favourite one is BMTL cuz was this song that made me love ev...but when I heard this song was like :o
really love it.
I have a friend that doesn't like fallen but there is just one song she loves and it's Hello (she prefer TOD, she says Fallen is too comercial)

[pedram]

somethimes we can't speak about anything that be on our heart and i think hello song is one of them i just can say i love it veryyyyyyy much

[FFXSoul91]

Lol. It's not a clock. It's a metronome. Or wait, it could be a clock as the resemblance of the time that's passed and she still hasn't forgotten...

But the metronome thing makes more sense since you can hear the pedal being lifted.

I'm debating it now. I noticed you can hear it even more clearly than I noticed before. I thought I heard a clock in my room last night when I was listening to my personal cd player, but then I realized that it was that sound again. I'm starting to change my thinking of it being the foot pedal to it being on purpose. It sounds like a clock ticking and then the ticking stops and you hear a door close... like it's a grandfather clock and someone just stopped the time.

I can't hear that, what time is that?

[FFXSoul91]

I can't hear that, what time is that?

It starts at about 3:28.

[Evan]

^^Thanks...I have to notice ;)

[Himmelslicht]

I don't hear anything!
Aren't you confusing it with Amy beating on the keys of the keyboard?
Cause it seems like ticking when we press it o.o

[Evan]

I don't hear anything!
Aren't you confusing it with Amy beating on the keys of the keyboard?

I had to listen it really loud first I just hear the door and then play it again and listened the clock

[Himmelslicht]

OHHHH, I've heard it VEEEEEEERY low!
Well, it can't be a metronome, because the tempo of the song is 4/4 and about 90 or something. It really sounds like a wallclock...

[FFXSoul91]

OHHHH, I've heard it VEEEEEEERY low!
Well, it can't be a metronome, because the tempo of the song is 4/4 and about 90 or something. It really sounds like a wallclock...

I think it sounds like a wallclock, too, other than the banging noise after the ticking stops. I actually thought it was a clock when I was listening to it a couple of nights ago until I remembered I don't have a wallclock in my room. :p
So I had to rewind the song a bit to make sure that I was actually hearing what I heard so clearly.

[Himmelslicht]

You were listening to music too loud, take care of your ears =P

[Evan]

Do you think this was intentional?

[Himmelslicht]

I don't think so.
It was like a wallclock that was standing on the wall of the studio, maybe o_O
If it was intentional it would play louder, no?

[FFXSoul91]

Actually, I think it was intentional.
It's too properly placed near the end of the song, and I doubt they'd have anything that noisy in the studio.

[Evan]

I was talking about the door, ye but it's not :D

[Himmelslicht]

No, you just heard it in the end of the song cause before you couldn't hear because of her voice and the piano...I think o.o

[FFXSoul91]

It just seems way too clear to be an accident. I'm certain they would have noticed it and removed it when they were editing the track if it were an accident.

[Himmelslicht]

Dunno, when meet Amy I'll ask her, lol

[Evan]

Yes you right and there's more songs with this kind of stuff, can someone post here the link for that thread? :D I want to notice more things

[Himmelslicht]

Ahahah, I thought I had some but can't remember =P

[Samsung]

Dunno, when meet Amy I'll ask her, lol

I'de ask her...when and if I ever meet her...
But I'de be scared to upset her...
lol

[Evan]

I'de ask her...when and if I ever meet her...
But I'de be scared to upset her...
lol

Ya it's scary

[Zack]

I was talking about the door, ye but it's not :D

the 'door' is actually one of the pedals breaking off the piano.
i read that somewhere. im pretty sure thats what it is.

[AeternusAmatorius]

Lol. It's the pedal being released. It's not a door. And the ticking is a metronome. The pedal being lifted has been confirmed because on most pianos when you lift your foot off the pedal it makes that sound.


Amy uses a real piano on CD recordings.


If it was an accident they may not have heard it and therefore it didn't get edited out of the song. If it was an accident and they noticed it then they most likely kept it in there for an effect.

This music still great so it doesn't matter is is a door or a pedal ;)

[Chiara]

I've never heard it! Are u sure?

[AeternusAmatorius]

I've never heard it! Are u sure?

Yes, it's a pedal and, most likely, a metronome. Turn it up really loud. lol. You can hear the "tick tick" and then the "plounk."

[TerryChibi-chan]

I'de ask her...when and if I ever meet her...
But I'de be scared to upset her...
lol

I dont think she'd get upset, she would probably have no clue what your talking about lol

[AnywhereButHome]

I listened to the bit at the end last night, had to turn the speakers right up to hear it! I like little things like that, makes the song sound creepy :D

[L]

What's the thing that sounds at the very beginning of the song?
Right before the piano.

[CLens]

What's the thing that sounds at the very beginning of the song?
Right before the piano.


i think it's a sound effect from a VST called 'atmosphere' which evanescence uses.

[L]

Oh, I see. Thanks :D

I used to think it was the cello but with some distortion.

[Cradleofdeath]

This is me playing th song Hello, I really love this song.. I know i play it a bit faster that the original song XD..

^ Nice! :D

I've loved this song for a long time, and it still touches me when I hear it. If I'm in a really deep mood it sometimes brings tears to my eyes, but other than that I think that it is a perfect and beautiful expression of sorrow and grief.

I applaud those who can turn a bad memory into a good song like that.

[EmptyChild]

Same here, I was in a deep mood not so long ago and Hello came on and I was so overwhelmed by it, it brought me to tears. As beutiful as this song is, I swear I wouldn't listen to it whenever I'm in that kind of mood again.

[irene]

Hello is a very beautiful song. The piano.. Amys vioce.. I was captured from the first time I heard it. Its really touching.

[AeternusAmatorius]

What's the thing that sounds at the very beginning of the song?
Right before the piano.

I was told that it was an electric guitar. But it could be the VST thing.


Where do you get one of those?

[CLens]

I was told that it was an electric guitar. But it could be the VST thing.


Where do you get one of those?


a VST?

you have to buy a recording program like cubase or protools and buy the software (for example, atmosphere has all the eerie creepy sound effects/instruments and a VST like the grand is the highest quality replica of a grand piano you can use in a program like cubase.. thus your piano = the **** on recordings or miroslav's philharmonik is a VST choir sample where you can do high quality choir/orchestra parts for your recording - really awesome) and you get access to all the sounds/plugins it offers.

Steinberg's Virtual Studio Technology and its acronym VST refer to an interface standard for connecting audio synthesizer and effect plugins to audio editors and hard-disk recording systems and also giving the plugins a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy manipulation. VST and similar technologies allow the replacement of traditional recording studio hardware with software counterparts. Thousands of plugins exist, making VST the most widespread audio plugin architecture. The technology can be licensed from its creator, Steinberg.

from wikipedia. much better definition than mine, lol. i just had some specific examples. :D

[samuel]

Hello: this my favouite song by Evanescence. and those sonds make me shiver. It's in memey of Amy's sister that past away. Hello is better than "My Immortal" I think they should have realesed Hello insted of My Immortal that would have been so cool. I Love the song :D

[Sonia_89]

I love this song,its just amazing.As I listen to the lyrics,I think about what amy is saying and what she must have gone through and it always makes me sad.I would never want this song to be realesed,its just too personal.I would hate all those radio stations to be talking about it and asking amy questions.I feel like the song is just for us to listen to and love.

[Chiara]

Yesterday I've heard Hello in a tv show for where it talks about real facts.I was upset cause i never heard it in a tv show.

[Himmelslicht]

Upset??? How so? You should be happyeyeyeye!

[Eleonora]

I'm sad today so I think that it's a good day to comment this song.
I just remember that I've cried so many times while listening to it.
There's a lot of pain inside that you can feel so clearly and it's so clear that it makes you feel sad too.
And that's not a bad thing, not at all.
But my greatest regret is that I know now all the pain Amy suffered and I'm just dying because I had no way to help her. I wrote that into the letter I gave her, but that still makes me cry so much.

[99paperflowers]

This song is so beautiful and probably ties for my favorite song on that albulm. I guess I love how it's just piano and some strings and there is so much passion in her voice. At the time I got that CD, that song just meant so much to me (and still does). I felt really confused and alone and too young to be taken seriously. When she says "Don't try to fix me- I'm not broken" and "Hello I am the Lie living for you so you can hide." those parts pretty much described everything I was feeling then, and do sometimes feel still. I know that her motive for writing that song was the death of her sister, but I love that the words can relate to so many other things too.

[Chiara]

Upset??? How so? You should be happyeyeyeye!

I'm upset in a happy way! When i heard it,i was almost dancing lol and my mother and my sister was schocked!Lol

[J.B]

I'm not sure if someone has alredy posted this, but this is a home video of Amy singing "Hello"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iP7FQ3cjtuY
I love this song, it's so touching and sad, but hauntingly beautiful. It is definitely one of my many favourite Ev songs.

[Larki13]

Speaking of that video, does Amy knows it's up on the internet? I've always wondered that. It's such a beautiful song.

[AeternusAmatorius]

Speaking of that video, does Amy knows it's up on the internet? I've always wondered that. It's such a beautiful song.

I think she does because Casey, or his friend, said that John Lee sent it to him. So yeah. I think she might.

[Larki13]

Ok, thanks. :)

This is one of my favorites ev`s songs........its such a great thing!!!..and i havent found any version of Like You played live...Have any of u guys??

I love that video, even though you can barely hear her singing.

God I love this song...I can't even express how much this song means to me. Words can't describe how it makes me feel. Like I love all Evanescence songs, and I won't say this is my favorite...but I don't think there's one I can relate to better, that makes me feel this way.

[Lumynescence]

Heres the music video I made for Hello.

[Kasen]

I love this song!!! This is the first song I learned on piano! still my favorite to play:D

[incognito]

This is the first song I learned on piano! still my favorite to play:D

Hehe mine too :) I actually got it in like one hour, it's not that hard to play I think.
And it's funny how a lot of people like this song. I gave it to my friends and neither of them listen to Ev or that kind of music still they said to me that Hello is so beautiful. I even got a reply from one really hard brutal metal whatever guy and he liked it hehe too funny

[alchemiotaku]

The song made me cry the first time I heard it. Also, Amy's sister died of an "unknown illness". I read on another forum that she had a seizure in a bathtub, but I haven't heard that anywhere else. This song has actually taught me a lot about myself. I saw my older sister get taken away in hand cuffs when I was in fourth grade.

Also, the piano part is so pretty. It's not hard, either. ^-^ (Sorry if that sounded all emo, but that is the song I relate to most on my ipod)

[AeternusAmatorius]

Neither Hello or Like You has ever been played live.

Ahem, not exactly live, but it's an equivalent.

[samuel]

I just listened to "Hello" and it sounds like at the end of the song that a "DOOR CLOSES" :o has anyone else herd this or an I living on another planet. :p

[Evan]

:D I just listened to "Hello" and it sounds like at the end of the song that a "DOOR CLOSES" :o has anyone else herd this or an I living on another planet. :p

We discusted that here, I heard that too, some peolpe said that was the pedal of piano...
There's people that heard a clock too I think
You'r not the only one :D

[AeternusAmatorius]

There is a "tick, tick, tick" of a metronome and a "clunk" of the pedal being released or the dust cover being closed.

Wow, nice job. That's beautiful. :)

[Lumynescence]

Thank you. :)

[DeMarzi]

I get to do a calligraphy project in my art class, and my teacher said we could do song lyrics.

So of course I want to do an Evanescence song! I ended up picking Hello, because it sounds like a poem. A beautiful one. This song also has a lot of sendimental meaning to me, it reminds me of when my dad died. I dont even know how many times this song has brought me to tears.

I cant wait to see how the project turns out.

[xTOURNIQUETx]

Hello is very special to Amy and you can obviously tell when you listen. Amy doesnt like disscussing the song either. I cant listen to it without crying when Im alone because it reminds me of being an 11 year and being told my Mum had just died. Same as Like You.

[Hollee]

I just listened to this song. And like every other time I have listened to it, it gives me chills. I still think about the part of the song they reversed and it said 'He hurts all me all over, hear me it was not me.'

Freaaaaaaaky.

[Evil Vampiress]

This song makes me cry!! :(

[Larki13]

I was listening to a TOD interview the other day, and I noticed Amy's voice gets all quiet when she talks about Hello and Like You, like she always sounded back in the first couple Fallen interivews.

[I_saw_her_bleed]

That song is so simple, yet so powerful and sad... I don't know how Amy does it.

[ABigFanOfCoop]

I love this song, It's so beautiful, and amazing,

[fernandomh94]

Yeah, this song is amazing is the only song that ,apart from My Immortal, makes me cry. It has something that since the first time you heard it you like it althought it is very sad.

[A-GAME]

What I really like about this song is the violin part. I always wondered who plays it.
The song overall is surely amazing. Sad and dark, the blend of those two aspects with the extremely deep lyrics and the amazingly beautiful music makes this song one of the best Evanescence has ever made.

I totally like it! :)

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Lol. It's a cello. :p

Oh! Yeah, Cello. I knew that! Who said it wasn't so? *Looks around* :rolleyes:

(Damn my stupidity!) :bangshead:

Anyway, really, does anybody know who plays that part??

[AeternusAmatorius]

I think it was David on one of those all mighty wonderful keyboards.

What makes me think this is because when you watch the "Making of 'Fallen'" videos you see David paying a string ending to "Whisper," on a keyboard.

Plus I can play the cello part on my Amy piano as well.

[Arwen300]

Actually, in the Fallen booklet it says "All strings arranged by David Campbell and David Hodges except Track 4 string arrangement by Graeme Revell. Strings recorded and mixed by Mark Curry Recorded at the Newman Stage,Twentieth Century Fox. Strings Recordist John Rodd..."

So I think they actually had someone play a cello on the album. David H. may have come up with the rhythm and the notes, but why not have a cellist play on the album?

Yes, but I'm kinda worried that some of the strings aren't real. Perhaps David wrote the arrangements on the keyboard and then got the string ensemble to perform them.
I think that the piano is just keyboard, though.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

So, sad story: A girl who was a freshmen at my school passed away in a fire with her other siblings, and I just wanted to say that this song is pretty much my mind, all explained in a beautiful 3:40 minute song....I don't know who she was..but a bunch of people do and this whole sadness emotion is taking over my school...just fyi...

[Larki13]

Sorry I took forver, I've been busy. It's uploading now...
EDIT: http://www.sendspace.com/file/tfvwis It's really long, like 15-20 mins, but it's interesting. I think Like You's mentioned around 10-12 minutes.

[A*Morbid*Hope]

Just noticed around 3:34 you hear the clicky...just fyi too!

[PoetOfWhispers]

What do you mean you think piano is just keyboard though?

I'm saying I don't think it's acoustic piano. I think it's just a keyboard.

[Dear Destruction]

Wow that mix was pretty good. I really liked the Guitar solo.
When the band started to quicken the tempo...it was pretty intense. Did you make this?

This song always makes me cry. :(
But it's an amazing song.

[FFXSoul91]

Did you make this?

Well, the band instrumental version was made by some unknown person, but it was in the wrong key, so I took it and altered the pitch to the proper key. Then, EmptyChild took it and mixed the original song with the instrumental.

I think the version I have on my computer is higher quality than the one just posted, based on what I streamed of it.

[Mr. Positive]

omg i love this... i love the ending

[AllAlone]

Is it original or made by you?

[Memories]

This Hello "band version" or "rock version" whatever you call it is really good. I like it as much as the original.

Yeah. This one girl from my school, at the beginning of the school year, got shot in the face and died. It was pretty sad. It was right before Thanksgiving too, I think. From what I heard about her, she was really nice. And what I read in the paper about her, she turned her life over to God about 3 months before she died. She was active in church and youth group and everything. It was a pretty sad time. A lot of people were talking about it and everything. She was in my friends art class, my friend said she was really nice and was always giving compliments, and she was in my lunch. So yeah...

Just noticed around 3:34 you hear the clicky...just fyi too!

Metronome.

I'm saying I don't think it's acoustic piano. I think it's just a keyboard.

You can hear that it's a REAL paino at then end when the pedal is being released at the end. You hear a "KLUNK."

That band version is interesting. The drums were kinda predictable, and I didn't like when she was singing with the band part at the same time (but that's only because it isn't an official version so it wasn't recorded in the same studio kinda thing, her voice gets drowned out)... but it was cool. I liked the guitar solo thingy...the part at the end sounded very familiar, though...very Evanescence-y.

I don't remember the band playing with Amy on any version of 'Hello'. Are you sure you're not talking about 'My Immortal'?

They're talking about a fan made version posted on the previous page.

[Arwen300]

ohhh...I knew that...*whistles*

[HauntedMina]

I love Hello... it reminds me of my deceased grandmother every time i listen to it..

[Evil Vampiress]

This song makes me cry lol :p

[HauntedMina]

How is it funny that it makes you cry? :|
This song holds a ton of importance for me. Always has.

[Kira]

I don't remember where, but I'm sure I've listened to another version. I remember that because the Amy vocals wasn't as good as the original version. It sounded as an acoustic in a concert (without audience), only Amy and the piano.

[HauntedMina]

maybe it was the demo version?

[Kira]

Maybe...I don't know. I had the song in another computer but I lost all the files, and I don't know where I can find the song now...I've tried it and I haven't find anything

"Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping, hello I'm still here.
All that's left of yesterday"

I cannot explain how that line makes me feel. I remember I listened to this song minutes before i left my mom's house.

I know there are mistakes and I added some things that shouldn't be there but hey....I tried...I think I do an okay job for never playing piano/keyboard before a few weeks ago lol ;) (don't worry I took the note names off too haha)

[FallenHalos]

Oh, thi song makes me cry.

ITs so deep and lovely and strong and you can FEEL the emotion in it. No wonder Amy never plays this live.
:(
I love it ..... so sad...

Wow, if you've only been playing for a few weeks, that's darn impressive. Good job! I love this song; the notes on the keyboard were weird - I've never seen that before. Why do you even have them there? Did you teacher recommend it or something?

This song is one of the most powerful Ev songs vocally and lyrically for me. @-@ I shiver when "Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping...Hello, I'm still here, All that's left of yesterday..." and that just gets me. x_x Love LOVE this song! ♥

[FallenHalos]

oh wow I just watched it, that really is REALLY good

I liked it like that!!!

[Jane]

This song just constantly sends shivers up and down my spine. Plus, I can also to relate to it very closely in a couple different ways, so that just makes it even more eerie.

[Phucket]

That was very good, although I don't see the need for the drum thing or whatever. Was it to keep tempo? But you did good. I like how it sounds on that keyboard.

actually, I don't have a teacher...I'm teaching myself. I played the clarinet for a while a few years ago so I know a lot of the basic stuff. Just learning the fingerings and playing with both hands gets me on the keyboard haha.

[kimmer_pu!]

[LoseXControl]

This song is very powerful and sad. Deffinatly a highlight of Fallen.

[Smileeboye]

no matter how many times I listen to this song, I always cry at some point of the song...only because....yeah...

[HangMan]

One of my favourites from Fallen but I don't listen to it much. It feels like its not for my ears...

[AllAlone]

One of the best.... <3

[Dear Destruction]

Alright...so awhile ago I came up with a duet to this song... So there's two people singing the song instead of one. I think it turned out pretty awesome (It still captures the message..and the sadness)... I kind of want to record it... I think it would be really pretty with just piano and a cello or something.

This thread is about the song Hello, from fallen.

this song is not only my favorite ev song of all time (though it's a close tie to whisper2002 \M/) ist also one of the top 5 songs EVER in my book.

quoting briefly from the history available on other sites, Hello is a song Amy wrote to express her feelings over the death of her little sister, who died at a very young age. (BTW, we don't know why she died, and asking isn't a good idea, so DONT or you will likely be reprimanded.:eek:

To date, i am not aware of it ever being performed live in concert, and i belive it to be the only song on fallen never to be performed.

this song stirs feelings in me few songs ever have. in a word, this song is just simply AWSOME!!!#
i agree with u it is tottally awsome. i just love this song. the way tht the lyrics go and how she sings it but then again she evry song lovely. but this is my first favourite song and it is amazing. marianne
