I normally dislike female lead vocals in rock music, but when it's Amy Lee singing it becomes another matter.
This stands out as the most successful song from Evanescence's 2003 album, Fallen, because it won a Grammy Award, but I urge you to listen to the whole of the album, because it is truly amazing.
This song has all the elements that make radio friendly - but ultimately good - rock music.
Great use of dynamics between the chorus and verses, hard hitting and straightforward chord progressions, wonderfully composed (just listen to the strings in the background from the second verse onwards) and a super catchy chorus.
I'm not the biggest fan of the video actually - very contrived; so many modern metal and rock bands have done people falling in slow motion and I'm tired of seeing it.
That said, the song remains one of Evanescence's best to date.
