Amy Lee: music, sadness and currently

Where was Amy Lee? I enjoy life with her husband, friends, engaged in cooking, learning to play the harp, and found time for herself. For a stereotype, an icon of rock music, gothic heroine of the image - is vulnerable, a little strange, but clever woman to make of their talents a fortune. This Amy runs into commercialism. After all, its priority - the music, which is the meaning of ...









"Music - one of the most important things in my life. I firmly believe in that class creativity - the best therapy for your soul ... »





Amy can not boast cloudless happy childhood. Constant travel, the early death of her sister Bonnie ... All this is somehow reflected in the later works of Amy.

"I've always been a drama queen. I remember that as a child I used to play dead and wanted my mom believed in it and called the police. But she never believed, and I am very upset and crying »





"I cry a lot. I do not know how, but it helps me. I cry because of the poor because of the good things. Sometimes sadness can be beautiful ... »



But the musical family helped her realize all the talents from early childhood. For three years, she began to study the piano and doing it for nine years. At the same time, her father taught her to play the guitar. In the end, the Lee family has settled in his native Little Rock, where he founded the group Evanescence.









One time, she wanted to be a classical composer. But over time, meet like-minded group on the future, she felt a craving for heavier music.







"If we were singing about how happy we are, we would simply deceiving themselves. People are trying to get away from the problem, taking drugs, getting drunk, going to parties and discos. What really helps me, is to sit down and think things through, to face the fact, the only way you can solve their problems and be happy »





"Many fans often say to me: 'This song changed my life. What led you to write it? 'Or' This song saved me from a divorce. " Such words can not but rejoice »!





Amy Lee is still engaged in the work of the group Evanescence. But with Ben Moody, with whom they started together, the relationship did not work out. The reasons are different - from the personal to the creative differences. Maybe it was just jealousy ...



"Our former guitarist Ben Moody has always offended that people pay more attention to me than to him. I even threw bras concert longer! »

Most of the costumes for the concerts of Lee doing yourself. Typically, the speech she wears corsets, mesh, long skirts and leather boots. Although sometimes you might think that Amy is no sense of style. But she has developed a certain way.













"People tell me that I can not dress like a fairy. And I usually say I'm in a rock band, I can do whatever I want! »

"In my clothes, I like to mix several styles: anything from rock, for example, chains, metal, and other items from the Victorian era and tales. I just use my imagination »

Creative individuals can be very far from such things as fashion, style, common standards of beauty. About Amy very rarely say that she is beautiful. And its slim, too will not name. But Amy is unlikely to care.

"I do not see anything sexual in people who have a skin and bones. They better not to wear tight clothes »

Now, after a long interruption due to marriage (her husband was Josh Hartsler), Amy Lee went back to work. Last autumn, there was an album that Amy is very proud of.
