This is Paul McCoy, lead singer of the band "Twelve Stones". At this point we also discover a surprising guest - a man's voice. In the chorus the melody is already erupting in all the glory of the distortion. The softness in the melody lasts a little longer until Amy's singing begins to add shades of musical roughness. A soft piano melody opens the song and after Amy sings the first line and the witch ("How can you see into my eyes like open doors") comes a short distortion outing that is one of my favorites of the songs in general, not just of the band. If in the previous song I mentioned the combination of Amy Lee's angelic voice and the distortion, this time another friend joins, who will have an important part in more songs.

The second song on the album, "Bring Me to Life", is one of my band's favorite songs and of course one of its best known songs. This is the beginning of the shaky journey that is this album. She takes with her the recipient of things and also the listeners. And I ask - is there a better way to open an album? The character in the song goes down, falls, dives, crashes, drowns, whatever you want to call it. A complete discharge of frustration and nerves that have accumulated for a long time. Accordingly, the melody of the song is steeped in distortion and its sound is as dirty as the above gashing out. This time the point of view in the song is of someone who does not holds back and put it all out in your face. A toxic relationship is a theme that will appear in other songs on the album. From the very first line ("Now I will tell you what I've done for you") and even more so from the next line ("50 thousand tears I've cried") you can see that it is a song by someone who breaks a fairly long silence, someone who is tired and she decides to take out all the dirty laundry.

It's a song full of an open letter to a toxic person, maybe a spouse. Amy's singing in this song is furious and almost "hands-free". In this song there are no assumptions and it gives head already in the opening, according to the "crembo doctrine": start the strongest and slowly increase. Already at the opening of the song and the album there are two of my favorite elements in the band's songs: distortion as sassy and the heavenly voice of the amazing Amy Lee. Indeed, the first song on the album, "Going Under", is a glorious crash and a dive straight into the gut of the album. It's not particularly surprising that an album titled "Fallen" opens with a dive down, not to mention a crash.
