Summary

I'm so excited to talk to Amy Lee on the band Evanescence. I cannot tell you how many times I have screamed Amy's lyrics from the top of my voice. Her music is so passionate, so empowering, so full of truth. Our conversation today was full of these same qualities. Amy speaks very openly and honestly about the huge losses she and her family have had to endure. She talks about how she survived these hard times. How she was able to channel that energy into her music. Evanescence has a new album out called "The Bitter Truth". This album is phenomenal. Every song strikes a chord. The band is so strong, and Amy's voice is like no other. Full of strength, beauty, vulnerability, with a laser precision delivery. There will surely be an anthem hit in the album. We hope you enjoy todays show. Check out some of the new songs in these links below.

0:11.6	And then I had this moment afterwards when it was like so it was
0:16.6	mainstream like it was in in the big picture and then I struggled a little bit with what that caricature of myself looked like when I saw it back.
0:26.5	Because it doesn't sum you all up, you know, and I'm sure you probably feel some of those same feelings about the character of you
0:33.8	just as a female race car driver and that's who you are and that's what you do and that's
0:37.2	all you care about and that's all you want to talk about and that's not real.
0:39.2	The truth is we're like multifaceted people with all kinds of sides and pieces to ourselves.
0:45.9	I believe that each and every one of us has the power within ourselves to create the life that we really want and I want to help give you the tools

1:09.4	We had such a fun conversation.
1:11.8	Like she's a really
1:15.0	fun conversation. Like she's a really cool girl, very open and is really honest and has such integrity with her music.
1:20.0	That is what really came through in this interview for me is just how rooted in authenticity her every song is and her every lyric is and even down to the words. So we really get into how she makes music and what comes through for her to build the foundation for songs.
1:40.0	And so you'll understand what I mean when I say down to the last words.
1:46.0	She has a new album out called The Bitter Truth.
1:49.0	And for those of you who are fans or not, doesn't come out with the albums all that
1:53.2	often so it's a big deal that she has one out now and she really took the
