First released on Origin, “My Immortal” is an Evanescence rock ballad describing the loss of a close relative or a significant other.

The song is named ‘my immortal’ because it is about memories that seem not to be able to die.

The music video is shot in all black-and-white. It shows Amy Lee, Ben Moody and the band separately, never together in one shot. Ironically, the video was shot two weeks before Ben left the band. In an interview with Rock Sound, Amy admitted:

It’s almost like the director knew what was going to happen, but he can’t have known. It’s just one of those fate things.

The video shows Amy never touching the ground, as a metaphor for being dead and unable to connect with the physical world. This connects with the theme of the song, which is obviously about the inability to reach out to a loved one that has gone.
