Afterthoughts: I like this song so much better than Bring Me to Life. I was tired of Bring Me to Life after the 4th time hearing it. I've heard My Immortal many times now, and it's not old yet
I saw an interview and Amy and the other guy that started the band said a big influence on their music was Meatloaf. Now that I think about it, My Immortal has that Meatloaf ballad thing going for it. A big twist, but ballad nonetheless.
