"Origin"… .
pochi sanno che questo è il nome di uno dei migliori album degli Evanescence, è infatti purtroppo relativamente conosciuto. Venne pubblicato verso il 2000, quando la band americana era agli esordi, in pochissime copie.
Dopo questa breve introduzione passiamo alle canzoni del platter. Il genere di esse non si può rispecchiare in un unico tipo, ma poichè stiamo parlando degli Evanescence sia un gothic/Rock, certe volte anche Metal, altre volte soft e lento. Le prime 3 tracks saranno presenti anche successivamente in "Fallen": "Whisper", "Imaginary" e "My Immortal".
La prima e l'ultima senza importanti variazioni, la seconda invece totalmente diversa dal remake del 2003. Più soft, cambia l'ordine del testo e cosa grave non c'erano in gran parte i violini che caratterizzano la versione nuova. Come inizio è molto buono. Segue "Where will you go", una delle canzoni migliori del gruppo un'inizio meraviglioso, un 'testimonial' dello stile che avevano gli Evanescence prima di "Fallen". Passiamo al trio "Even in death", "Fields of innocence" e "Anywhere". La prima molto bella, tendente al Metal, la secondo risalta poco, la terza magnifica, una lenta ballad coinvolgente con l'intreccio di voci di Amy Lee e Ben Moody (…è lui???). "Lies" track seguente, Heavy con accenni orientaleggianti e un growl di sottofondo. Siamo verso la fine del cd e troviamo "Away from me"… I've woken now to find myself I'm lost in shadow… un'altra buona prova della band. Ultima "Eternal" che è solo strumentale.
Diciamo che è uno dei cd più misteriosi della storia… si è parlato di versioni che contenevano "Listen to the rain", un canto lirico, e "surrender", ma chissà perchè… si mormora anche di una traccia nascosta: "Demise" situata alla fine di "Eternal". Ci sono anche parti strane: "Anywhere" finisce come "Where will you go" era iniziata…. "Eternal" inizia come "Away from me". Tutto ciò molto strano. Infine una misteriosa voce femminile nella versione 2000 di "Whisper"… destene destene mestyrious poum… questo è ciò che ho capito… .
La valutazione finale di "origin" è certamente molto positiva. Per chi vuole qualcosa di nuovo e soprattutto per i fan degli Evanescence.

01 Origin (00:35)
Long lost words whisper slowly, to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time i've been so hollow, inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I wont let you pull me down
Hunting you I can smell you-alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Calling me, hearing me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me
Watching me
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I wont let you pull me down
02 Whisper (03:56)
Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me, shall I give in
Upon my end shall I begin
Forsaking all I've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
Don't turn away
(Don't give in to the pain)
Don't try to hide
(Though they're screaming your name)
Don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
Don't turn out the light
(Never sleep, never die)
Don't turn away
Don't try to hide
Don't close your eyes
Don't turn out the light
Don't turn away
Don't try to hide
Don't close your eyes
Don't turn out the light
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
03 Imaginary (03:32)
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clocks screaming, monsters calling my name.
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me,
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.
In my field of paper flowers,
And candy clouds of lullaby [flowers]
I lie inside my self for hours,
And watch my purple sky fly over me [flowers]
Don't say i'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos, your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers,
And candy clouds of lullaby [flowers]
I lie inside my self for hours,
And watch my purple sky fly over me [flowers]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of a silent night
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of an Imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers,
And candy clouds of lullaby [flowers]
I lie inside my self for hours,
And watch my purple sky fly over me [flowers]
[paper flowers]
[paper flowers]
04 My Immortal (04:26)
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have... all of me
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face, it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice, it chased away
All the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have... all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have... all of me
Me...
Me...
06 Field of Innocence (05:13)
I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
[Latin hymn:]
Iesu, Rex admirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis,
totus desiderabilis.
Iesu, Rex admirabilis
et triumphator nobilis,
dulcedo ineffabilis,
totus desiderabilis
[Man:]
As the years pass by
Before my face,
As wars rage before me,
Finding myself
In these last days of existence,
This parasite inside me,
I forced it out.
In the darkness of the storm
Lies an evil,
But it's me.
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
Oh where, where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
07 Even in Death (04:09)
Give me a reason to believe
That you're gone
I see your shadow so I know
They're all wrong
Moonlight on the soft brown earth
It leads me to where you lay
They took you away from me
But now I'm taking you home
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death, our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love
Oh my love
But no bonds can hold me from your side
Oh my love
They don't know you can't leave me
They don't hear you singing to me
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death, our love goes on
And I can't love you any more than I do
I will stay forever here with you
My love
The softly spoken words you gave me
Even in death, our love goes on
And I can't love you any more than I do
People die, but real love is forever
08 Anywhere (05:22)
Dear, my love, haven't you wanted to be with me and,
Dear, my love, haven't you longed to be free;
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you when,
At sweet night, you are my own.
Take my hand.
We're leaving here tonight;
There's no need to tell anyone;
They'd only hold us down;
So by the morning's light,
We'll be halfway to anywhere;
Where love is more than just your name.
I have dreamt of a place for you and I,
No one knows who we are there;
All I want is to give my life only to you;
I've dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore,
Let's run away, I'll take you there.
We're leaving here tonight;
There's no need to tell anyone;
They'd only hold us down;
So by the morning's light,
We'll be halfway to anywhere;
Where no one needs a reason.
Forget this life,
Come with me,
Don't look back, you're safe now;
Unlock your heart,
Drop your guard,
No one's left to stop you;
Forget this life,
Come with me,
Don't look back, you're safe now;
Unlock your heart,
Drop your guard,
No one's left to stop you now.
We're leaving here tonight;
There's no need to tell anyone;
They'd only hold us down;
So by the morning's light,
We'll be halfway to anywhere;
Where love is more than just your name.
10 Lies (03:49)
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
11 Away From Me (03:33)
I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh God, I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
And I
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from this place I have made
Won't you take me away from me
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from this place I have made
Won't you take me away from me
Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
I've woken now to find myself
I'm lost in shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me
13 Listen to the Rain (03:14)
[Rain]
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
Listen to each drop of rain (listen, listen)
Whispering secrets in vain (listen, listen)
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground.
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain
Listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen to the rain
Weeping
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
Listen (listen), listen (listen)
I stand alone in the storm.
Suddenly sweet words take hold:
"Hurry!" they say, "for you haven't much time!
"Open your eyes to the love around you;
"you may feel you're alone,
"but I'm here still with you.
"You can do what you dream,
"just remember to
"Listen to the Rain."
Listen
