Bring Me To Life


"Bring Me to Life" is the debut single by Evanescence from their 2003 album Fallen. Written by Amy Lee at age 19, the song gained early exposure through the Daredevil film soundtrack and features guest vocals from Paul McCoy of 12 Stones. For electric guitarists, the track is a rewarding study in early 2000s hard rock, with driving rhythm parts co-written by guitarist Ben Moody that blend heavy distorted tones with the band's signature orchestral intensity.

  • Guitarist Ben Moody co-wrote the song alongside Amy Lee and David Hodges, making it a true band collaboration.
  • The track first appeared on the Daredevil film soundtrack before Fallen was released, giving it immediate mainstream reach.
  • Amy Lee wrote the lyrics at age 19, drawing on personal experience — giving the heavy guitar parts an emotionally grounded context.

Ben Moody's weapon of choice on 'Fallen,' the Les Paul Standard delivers warm, fat PAF-style humbucker tones that anchor Evanescence's gothic metal foundation without excessive compression.

The Custom variant provided Ben Moody with the same thick, sustained character as the Standard while offering additional tonal flexibility for both heavy riffs and cleaner atmospheric passages throughout the band's early era.

This amp head generates the scooped, modern-metal distortion defining tracks like 'Bring Me to Life,' delivering tight low-end response critical for keeping palm-muted chugs clean rather than muddy in drop tunings.

The high-output JB in the bridge position tightens low-end response for heavier Evanescence material, ensuring palm-muted drops stay defined and articulate without sacrificing the fat humbucker character Amy Lee's vocals sit against.
