Evanescence have a remix album, Synthesis, due on November 10. The album is being promoted as “a reimagining of some of Evanescence’s best-loved songs recorded with a full orchestra and electronic combined with the band.”
Remix albums usually sit one rung under live albums on the ladder of Vital Band Releases, but Evanescence have at least included two new songs on this forthcoming record – the first of which can be listened to below.
“For me, this is the most important song on the album,” explained Amy Lee in a press release. “I struggled with the lyrics for a long time because there was a lifetime of work to live up to and I wasn’t sure what to say or how to be good enough.
“When it finally started pouring out of me, it was undeniable. I had no choice. It’s for all the people we’ve lost, all the people who we could lose, to suicide and depression.
“I’m singing from the perspective of the person left behind, the person in the waiting room”, she continues. “It’s a plea to fight for your life, to stay. Don’t give into the fear- I have to tell myself that every day.
“Nobody is perfect. We are all imperfect, and it’s precisely those imperfections that make us who we are, and we have to embrace them because there’s so much beauty in those differences. Life is worth fighting for. You are worth fighting for.”
