Before The Dawn - EvBoard

Cfw828 · 09-27-2004, 02:10 PM

Little is known about this unreleased Evanesence song. The song was recorded during the 2001-2002 demos.

--
Before The Dawn

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I am nothing more than to see you there

And maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

If only night could hold you and I can see you my love
Then let me never ever wake again

And maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

Somehow I know that we can't wake again
From this dream it's not real but it's gone

Maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn
Maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

You guys are lucky. You would find it hard to search this old song, BUT it has been transcribed. I will explain keychanges etc along the way.

Before The Dawn

Am F
Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
Am F
I am nothing more than to see you there

F G
And maybe tonight
F G
We'll fly so far away
F G Em Am
We'll be lost before the dawn

Am F
If only night could hold you and I can see you my love
Am F
Then let me never ever wake again

F G
And maybe tonight
F G
We'll fly so far away
F G Em
We'll be lost before the dawn

(Key changes in this part up one step)
F#m G#m Fm F#m
Somehow I know that we can't wake again
F#m G#m
From this dream it's not real but it's gone

F#m G#m
Maybe tonight
F#m G#m
We'll fly so far away
F#m G#m Fm A#m
We'll be lost before the dawn

F#m G#m
Maybe tonight
F#m G#m
We'll fly so far away
F#m G#m Fm A#m
We'll be lost before the dawn

Hope this helps!

Does this remind anyone else of Titanic? Everytime I hear, I think of Titanic.
At this line - Somehow I know that we can't wake again
I listened again, it's the whole line. Does anyone else hear it?

yeah, it kinda reminds me of Titanic also, now that i think about it. I think ev should have more songs like this. Before The Dawn is one of my favorite songs.

I agree. I don't know why, but I really like this song and its definitely one of my favourites. I'm surprised more people haven't posted as its a beautiful song. The song has so much emotion which often if difficult to achieve in a song, and usually just makes a song sound corny! Evanescence got it right with this song though (and most of their other songs)

This song is one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard. When I'm listening BtD I'm thinking about watching sunrise, about spending time with one you loved. That song make me feel a little bit depressed. It's very... strange feeling. But I love this song, it's amazing.

This song is one of my favs. Although I'm excited for some new material, I wouldn't mind seeing this song pop up in Evanescence's future again, whether at conerts or cd or something...

I love this song, especially to do harmonies too because there are so many ways, vocally, that you could go with this song. I think it's because of the key change and the leap between the chords. I could listen to this song over and over and never get bored of it.

CryingWish · 08-11-2006, 07:55 AM

I do love this song, it's a bit slower than I like, but still a beautiful piece of music.
