My Immortal is a song by American rock band Evanescence, released on their debut album Fallen in 2003 and later issued as a single. Built around piano and Amy Lee's vocal, it became one of the band's most recognisable ballads and a staple of early 2000s rock radio. Short excerpts continue to circulate online because the opening is instantly recognisable even without lyrics, making it a shorthand for grief, nostalgia and quiet heartbreak in fan edits, tributes and reaction videos.
About this sound
A short piano clip from Evanescence's My Immortal featuring Amy Lee's haunting vocal. Creators use it for emotional, nostalgic and dramatic moments in edits.
This short clip captures the quiet, piano-driven opening mood of My Immortal, led by Amy Lee's soft, breathy vocal over sparse, melancholic chords. The sound is gentle rather than loud, with a slow, aching pace that immediately signals sadness, longing or reflection. Even in just a few seconds, it creates an intimate, almost cinematic feeling, as if a memory is unfolding. That restraint is why it works so well in edits: it does not overpower the visuals, but it colours them with emotion, turning an ordinary moment into something tender, wistful or quietly dramatic.
