Evanescence: Fallen
So. It is the weekend again. Yeah! I can sit at my computer and make useless graphics and create some webpages?what fun!

One of these days, if I find that I actually have things to write about, I may just have to make some emotion avatar things. Sadly, being a bit new to the blog thing, I don't know what to call them. They're little pictures that portray the mood of the moment. Then I'll post them at the top of each post (and there have been so many, don't ya know) and people will know if they want to bother with the post.

Topic of the day: music. Or rather, one band which is my newest obsession (well, that and fanfic?but that's for another day). I started hearing Evanescence on the radio a few months ago. Guess their first single, "Bring me to Life" is from Daredevil. I haven't seen it, so I didn't know. But it really seems to describe the relationship between Buffy and Spike in Season 6 (see, little did you know?I bring Buffy into everything. I am truly obsessed). I actually made two wallpapers using the lyrics?but I'm not going to link to them cuz, well, they kinda stink. Then, the weekend before last (seems like just yesterday?) I bought the album (Fallen) and listened to it, and decided that this band has watched way too much Buffy! Song titles like "My Immortal," lyrics like these:

" Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you
And still, you won't hear me.
Don't want your hand, this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll wake up for once
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom
I'm dying again."

Those are from "Going Under" and make me think of Spike, trying to convince Buffy that he really loves her. I was actually going to use quotes from the show to illustrate the parts of the song, like when Spike talks about "Spilling useless buckets of salt" over Buffy when she died?but then I decided that it would really label me as obsessed. Which I am. But I don't really want everyone to know the depths of my obsession. It might scare some people. Well, if they haven't seen my website, that is.

Anyhow, a big plug here for Evanescence. They're an amazing band out of Little Rock, Arkansas?who knew anything good came out of that little town, huh? The lead singer has a great voice, soprano, amazingly enough! My husband says they're a goth rock band. I choose not to catagorize. They're pretty unique, I think?tho I don't listen to a ton of new rock so I guess I don't really know. Anyhow, their sound varies: heavy ballads to some great rock. All in all, amazing lyrics and powerful music.
