HEY EVERYBODY!!!!
its been a crazy couple of weeks, but everything is going SO GREAT in the studio. I can hardly contain my excitement for this record, and I'm happier than I've been in so long I can't remember. :) I haven't had a chance to look through all of the drawing ideas for the epilepsy logo yet, but there's some really amazing stuff in there. Thank you so much, guys. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I DO NOT have any music in the chronicles of narnia :( I did write music for it, that I love very much, but it was rejected for the movie because it was "too dark" and "too epic." My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live. I thought about it for awhile, and then finally decided that I simply will not compromise my art for anything. It is very sad, though, because I think the movie is going to be amazing. Its really good- I just don't want you guys to go and see it and be let down because you thought our music was in there. Oh well, more great stuff for the album. :) IM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! and im so glad we took the extra time to make this record right. You're gonna love it. I love you guys, and I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while, but its all for a very good cause. Happy holidays! I'll talk to you soon.
love

Many people have been griping about the long wait for this new album. In some ways, I can see their reasoning behind the griping. However, I am thankful that you and the guys are willing to take an extensive amount of time off working to make sure that we have an incredible album. Art takes time. I am more than thrilled for this new album!

Hey, welcome back, Amy! :)

Yeah, we heard about Narnia :( It sucks. They're using Alanis Morrisette now, I think. And someone else. I'm still excited for it, though...I looove those books :D

See, Amy, they saw you with pink hair and realized that your true nature was not all dark and gawth and stuff. So they didn't think you still wrote dark epic gawth stuff. Such is the attitude of the uneducated ;)

Anyway, great to hear that the album's going well! Hope you like our stuff in the logo thread!

It's nice to hear what's going on... thanks for the info!! And happy holidays to you too. No partying too much... *is now even more anxious for the new album* It's gonna be good... it's gonna be real good..

Sure... you had to just get us all souped up for this new album, huh? I'm real anxious now - that's a lie, my breath was completely taken away by the sheer amount of excitement in your post - especially to hear that you're so happy with the way things are going... I'm sure you couldn't let us down if you tried ;)

Thanks for stopping on by... and yeah, people worked hard on the logos. I hope you can at least get some kind of a brainstorm by looking at 'em! Happy Holidays Amy.

End.

perfect for dark and epic.

Thanks for the information, Amy! A little disapointed that your composition won't be in Narnia, but I'm glad that you won't comprimise your art for something. It makes me ever more proud of what you've done, and says something about how you've gotten it. :)

Btw, does someone have a birthday coming up soon? *wishes Amy a happy early birthday*

12-02-2005, 08:47 PM
We're all so EXCITED for the new album! Sorry your music wont be added to the Narnia movie but i respect you for not compromising on your music. Is there any chance we could hear it someday though? :)

Thanks so much for the update, this summer cant come soon enough for me!! :D

Thanks for letting us know how things are going with the record Amy...as you might know we are all excited to hear some new songs! :D
I hope all goes well!
It sucks about Narnia, but if they don't want you, it's their loss! I am sure the music you wrote for it is great.
Have a great holiday!

Yeah it is a shame about Narnia, but I agree with you Amy, you shouldn't compromise your art :)

Great to hear from you, and Happy holidays!

Also, Happy early birthday ;)

Fantastic! Great to hear an update from you.

Sorry about the Narnia thing. We kind of figured it was because the music might have been a little darker than they wanted...pfft.

Glad to hear the recording's going well. We're on the edges of our seats in anticipation! :D

Wow Amy, it's so great that you and the band post stuff here. If shows you're really loyal to your fans :)

I'm really looking forward to hearing the new record, and the anticipation is killing all of us lol. I'll probably like it just as much as I like Fallen, even if it is different. Change is good, especially when it comes to music.

It's too bad that your music got rejected for the Narnia movie. I was really hoping that I'd hear some Evanescence stuff in the theatre. But changing the way you write music to be in a movie just isn't worth it. Write the way you want, and if people don't like it, then that's their loss.

Happy holidays to you too, and happy early birthday :)

See you soon.

Good on you Amy!! Your music is you. And it pwns

12-02-2005, 10:12 PM
Hey Amy! Thanks a lot for the update! I also wonder if the song that you wrote for Narnia will be in the new album though it wasn't chosen to be in the actual soundtrack. I can't wait to get the new CD. That will be the 5th one to my collection. You guys are so amazing and I love the fact that you are an inspiration. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happy early Birthday!

I'm so happy that you won't compromise your art, that was a beautiful thing to say. So many artists out there tend to "sell out" for the money.
Being and artist myself, you are very inspiring to me and I appreciate that you are real. Don't ever change! ;)
Luv ya! and the rest of the band! OMG......Can't freakin wait either....imagine what it is like for us......hehe! :D

Hey! It's great to hear from ya! I haven't been on here much lately, so I guess I got my computer fixed just in time to read your post. If you're THAT excited about the album, then I'm even more excited than I was before! Thanks for the update, and Happy Holidays to you, too.

Thanks Amy for the update! I have a question though. Wind Up is saying that the new album won't be out till the summer of 2006. Please tell us that's not true! I was so looking forward for March. That's a bummer for the Narnia thing. I bet the song was great! And I'm glad you didn't change it in order to get it on the movie. They just don't know what good is! Anyway, happy holidays and happy early birthday! You rock!

GREAT to hear from you amy!

It's nice that you're telling us the new record is going to be great, but whatever, i already KNEW it was going to be great, so nothing new there!:p

Too bad about Narnia, but what's even better is you stuck to your principles.:)

I SOOO can't wait to hear the new material, and i think if i hear a new single from you guys on the car radio, i may lose it, which will suck because i'm taking driving lessons and that could go badly lol

Well, Merry Christmas Amy, and also i hope you enjoy your B-Day thats coming up!!:D

Happy Winter!!!!! Uh... I'm going to go see the Narnia and cry when the lion dies as I always do! Can't wait for the new album! Bye!

Hey, thanks for stopping by, and updating us on the new album and everything else that's new.

Sorry to hear that your music wasn't picked for the Narnia movie but hey, like you said, it means more awesome stuff for the new album, which I'm totally looking forward to. As a matter of fact, seeing as how I do work in an electronics department, when we get the new cd I'm putting it in one of our listening stations right away. Oh yeah, and telling everyone I work with to buy a copy since it's going to kick ass.

Anyways, hopefully you got some good ideas for a logo for your Out of the Shadows campaign, there were some awesome drawings in there. Well, happy holidays, and happy birthday, since it's only ten days away.

:cool:

SombraAla
12-03-2005, 02:14 AM
You'll have years to compromise your music! </sarcasm>

At least, that's what I relate to what you would probably have to do in order to get a song on the Narnia soundtrack - compromise your talents as a songwriter (which may tend to be too 'epic' or 'dark' in the eyes of the people who matter in this case). In the end I think that compromising your work in this way would just end up dissapointing everyone involved - because it wouldn't be 'you' as much (it would be 'you' minus some epic darkness, or something)...

And I applaud you for 'taking a stand' if you would - not that there's anything to take a stand against, but just to say 'this is my music, if it's not right for what you want then that's too bad...' because it would be far too easy to simply write something that they would be happy with but you wouldn't be happy with as much - and from my perspective at least, I would be unhappy with it because I would be expecting your music and would get something that wasn't quite. Not to mention many artists would probably do whatever it took to get their 'work' attached to such a major production, it's refreshing to know that you wouldn't.

I dunno - to me (I write a bit, not very well nor not much anymore) - it's hard enough to take the 'part of me' which is my song and put it into some form that I can share with everyone else. To then conform it to something that it wasn't would just be... unfair. Unfair to the song it could've been, unfair to the people that listen to it and don't get to hear it like it should be and unfair to me for not being able to display the song I really wanted to.

Hope that makes sense.... can't wait for the new stuff.

12-03-2005, 02:15 AM
Well, Amy, congratulations on once again proving what is arguably your greatest quality - you don't conform to what others want, you stand on your own rock and be your own unique self. Hopefully you will get a chance to record and release that music some other time, I'd love to hear it. If not the new album, then we can wait. Good luck, with that, although I'm trying not to think about it, lest I start running aroung with excitement, banging my head against walls.

Happy birthday, and Merry Christmas. And good luck with any personal celebrations, too. Here's to your next Aussie tour!

Hi Amy!
Sorry that you didnt get your music in Narnia, I think it probably would have been a lot better if it was, I hate Alanis Morisette! But thank You for not changing your music just for them. I am still planning on seeing the movie, but I dont like who they chose for some of the people. Anyway, its great that making the new album is going well, im sure I will love it! Happy Birthday and Happy Holidays to you and the band (and everybody else) :)

Too Epic? It's the effing Chronicles of Narnia. WTF do they want?

Alas, they'll be eating their words when they hear the new album. I'm sure it'll be BRILLIANT.

And many happy holidays to you, too--I hope it's your best year yet.

My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live. I thought about it for awhile, and then finally decided that I simply will not compromise my art for anything.
YAY for dark and epic music!!!

It's so great to hear from you again, Amy! I'm glad that everything's going so well and that you're so happy!

I wish you happy holidays too!
Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (lol, that's a Loretta Lynn song, but it just fitted in here so well :o :p)

We all love you, Amy!

Nice, great you stopped by to let us know. Shame about the Narnia thing, but did you mena there's gonna be some of that on the album? That'd be great, dark, epic rawks! I can't wait, these little bursts of updates are a great way to get us in the mood again! Glad you're happy about everything. Can't wait for the album, happy holidays!

I'm sorry that your song wasn't inclosed in the Narnia movie, but i'm so excited for the new album, you and the guys are the best.
I like you because you're you and not what the others want.
Thank you for posting and Happy Birthday and Happy Holidays.

I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I DO NOT have any music in the chronicles of narnia :( I did write music for it, that I love very much, but it was rejected for the movie because it was "too dark" and "too epic."
Seriously Amy, who cares? If they won't bet for your dark-epic songs, they lose. They did fawn over most commercial stuff. Instead you reach beyond the establishment to the music, to the new rising fans.

I mean you've got all our consideration, we are the ones who will buy and truly enjoy your new album at the end... aren't we? :D

HI AMY!! (Hey, watch me spaz!) Thanks for the update. By the time it gets closer to new album time my nerves will probably be shredded to bits, but still. I know it'll rock my socks to the moon and back 17 times, 'cause you're cool like that.

Narnia peoples didn't want dark-epic-awesomeness? Sucks for them. They don't know what they're missing. Dark and epic music is awesome. I can't get enough of it. Which is why any little detail about the progress of the new album is about to send me flyin' through the roof with excitement.

And if you were in Maryland the week of your birthday, I would SO drop everything and have a surprise party for you. (Whoops, there goes potential surprise.) I sent you this collage-y birthday card thingy that I got a bunch of friends to sign (and Meagan put an "e" at the end of "fan" haha) with this uberly sappy note on the back about how much you rock. Because you really do.

Anywho, thanks for waking me up with the good news (no pun intended). Holiday cheer all around! See you... uh, when I see you, I guess!

Much love,
Ashy

It's great to hear from you Amy! It's good to hear that recording is going smoothly! Woo, exciting! :D

Yeah, too bad about Narnia :( I have to admit, that was like the #1 reason I was going to see it, but I think I'm gonna read the first two books and go see it anyways because it looks cool. I know I'm gonna get flamed for asking this, but is there any chance we could hear this song you made for Narnia? It could be like a bonus track or something on the album! But it's just a suggestion you know...

And if we don't hear from you around the holidays, HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :)

I never thought of Narnia as a bright and cheery tale though? ... what's a movie without dark parts? Crap? Yes. Void from reality? Yes. So your rejected material for it must've been REALLY dark then, haha... Sweet. Will we recognize it if it goes on the album? Happy holidays to you and your loved ones!

Hey Amy, glad to hear from you. Take your time with the album. As they say, the more you put into it the more you get out of it. I'm sure by the time it's all said and done, you'll be so happy with it.

Hey! I knew I would miss something by not logging in yesterday! EEECK!

Anyway Amy, there will be many opportunities for musical scores in the future,
maybe you can get a track in on "Underworld: Evolution" or "Pirates of the Carribean II" which is coming out in July 2006!

Which brings me to this: I was at the theater last night to watch the opening day release of "Aeon Flux"
and I was sitting through all the damn previews stuffing my face with
popcorn when I heard "Going Under" coming from the screen!

I said, "HEY! That's Evanescence!" Needless to say, a bunch of people turned around and looked at me like I was retarded or something.
Apparently they are not familiar with EV.

But now, for the life of me, I can't remember the movie for which your sound track came from.
Can anyone help me out with this? It's driving me CRAZY!
All I remember was saying, "I'm going to see THAT movie for sure!"
LOL! It might be kind of hard to go see a movie that I don't know the title to.

Can't wait for the new album, it's going to be awesome!
And I hope Wal-Mart doesn't carry it. Poop on Wal-Mart. :D :rolleyes:

HEY EVERYBODY!!!!
its been a crazy couple of weeks, but everything is going SO GREAT in the studio. I can hardly contain my excitement for this record, and I'm happier than I've been in so long I can't remember. :) I haven't had a chance to look through all of the drawing ideas for the epilepsy logo yet, but there's some really amazing stuff in there. Thank you so much, guys. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I DO NOT have any music in the chronicles of narnia :( I did write music for it, that I love very much, but it was rejected for the movie because it was "too dark" and "too epic." My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live. I thought about it for awhile, and then finally decided that I simply will not compromise my art for anything. It is very sad, though, because I think the movie is going to be amazing. Its really good- I just don't want you guys to go and see it and be let down because you thought our music was in there. Oh well, more great stuff for the album. :) IM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! and im so glad we took the extra time to make this record right. You're gonna love it. I love you guys, and I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while, but its all for a very good cause. Happy holidays! I'll talk to you soon.
love
amy

Hey Amy!

It's so great to see a message from you!! I'm so glad that you love the new music so much because then that clearly means that it rocks. About Narnia, it really looks like an amazing movie, I don't really get why they would tell you that what you made was "too epic" because the movie seems to be an epic itself, crazy stuff. I'm glad though that you are not willing to compromise your style for them, mad props! I wish you guys the best of luck with finishing off the record!! Happy Holidays to you and the rest of the band ;).

p.s. I'm looking forward to Out of the Shadows getting started!

thanks for keeping us up to date. too bad there is none of your stuff on the Narnia movie, I bet it would have been great. the other news is all fantastic. I can't wait to hear new stuff!

12-03-2005, 12:27 PM
The long-awaited return! BRILLIANT to hear from you again, gal! Glad everything's going fine and dandy. The Narnia thing...the only reason I was going to see that was because it was said you were doing music. :D Ah, I can live! :D

Looking forward to the new album.

If we don't see you around here anytime soon,
Happy Holidays from me

...tad early...ah, who needs Christmas? Lost all meaning, anyhow...I'm SOOOO going to get flamed for just saying that...

12-03-2005, 12:28 PM
Ughh! I was at work yesterday, right at the time Amy posted! what a bad luck!

Well, we already have 7 pages, and I can't possibly say something new, but I'd like to add myself to this thread by saying - Amy, it's so great to hear from you! I was very pessimistic about this, I thought it'd take you like a few more months to drop by, so I'm very glad you did!
I'm pretty new here so I have no idea what's the thing with Narnia, but if they didn't want your "dark music", then it is their big problem :p Your writing is amazingly awesome as it is, and of course you shouldn't compromise it.
I can't wait hearing the new stuff!!! GOOD LUCK WITH CONTINUING RECORDING THE ALBUM! It will be awesome, surely! :D

I'm crawling out of my skin with anticipation...literally. ;)

So excited, I would wait another year for this album. But glad I don't have to. :)



eta: Yeah, an Ev song in Underworld 2 would pretty much be teh sh*t. For real.

12-03-2005, 02:22 PM
Oh well Amy, Narnia misses it. It will be on the new album anyway :D thank you so much for letting us know it. I was kind of worried, but also had the feeling that it wouldn't be in Narnia.

Now you've done it!. I was trying to forget the release date and concentrate on the present... and you made me think of it again. I can hardly wait!!, really, if you say it's your best work, I believe it. Haven't we all this way?. Well, you better be working ;) .

Best wishes and happy hollidays!

Dumb Narnia. I had a feeling that was gonna happen seeing as on the soundtrack it's all Christian bands/artsits. I guess they thought Ev was a Christian group o_O Oh well, movie still looks awesome, I'll just hum an ev song in my head while watching it and tadah! You're music's now in the movie :D

Can't wait for the new stuff! Happy holidays!!

Hey Amy,
I am so glad to hear from you. It sucks that your song isn't going to be in there but if they can't accept you and what you wrote then thats too bad! Happy holidays to you too. I really can't wait for the album, it sounds like this will be amazing. Go Evanescence! Hehe I am so excited.

Hi Amy!

*waves*
Its really great to hear that:) !
I thought Narnia could be interpreted as quite a dark, epic story...:confused: thanks for telling us though.I bet i will still think that i'm going too hear you.
It sounds like its a lot of fun and its going to be great...:cool: (I've always wanted to use that button:D )...I CAN'T WAITE!!!! I think I WILL EXPLODE SOON:p . Yay, good cause.

Does that mean you're gonna put the song in the album? I hope I'm right.

Oh yeah. It could HAVE been interpreted as something like that. Huge thanks to Disney. (But this time I hope I'm NOT right)

Just a correction to that, they have two seperate soundtracks. The one that Amy didn't get on, she was replaced by Alanis Morrissette. It's in Ev Chat.

Anywho, it's good to hear that you're happy Amy.

Would it be too much of me to ask if I can be on your new album? Because I can make "dark" sounds out of a kazoo :p

In all seriousness, I'm sure the new album will be great.

I wish you and the boys the best :)

It's so good and comforting to hear from you Amy, I'm really looking forward to this new album and every new I hear makes me more excited about it and anxious for it to come. I'm sure it's gonna be great ;)

Awww,that's sad, my wait for the movie isn't gonna be the same anymore :( but I don't get it, I thought the movie was supposed to be dark and epic, and your music would fit in perfectly. But you made the right decision, don't change your style to make others happy, we love you the way you are :) Just a question: is this song gonna be released as a b-side, or along with a single, something like that?

Happy holidays and we're counting...10 days...:D

Honestly , at least we finally have your word on what happened and now we don't have to wait...I really do hope we get to hear this song....Like all ev songs....it sounds great!

Anyway, Happy Holidays...

w00 sounds great amy.

Alright, i'll still see the movie. i'm still dissapointed, and i'm pretty angry at them for rejecting it - but you know, if they odnt know what great art is or dont like your art, well, thats their problem. but i'll still see it...i was actually debating in my head whether i still would see it...but becuase you told us all to still see it..ill see it still :-D w00.

Alright anyway. about the album. cooooool man you make me all happy haha. i'm so happy w00. man im so excited...i cant wait to hear the new music. that's gonna be awesome. im bad..cuz im going to take off school when the album comes out. hehe. i hope i wont have any work to make up that day...i guess i'll just let everybody know i'll be gone...and meditating. i think i earned it, though...too much work. but anyway, that was offtopic.

anyway, love you so much, miss seeing you around, but we'll see you around i'm sure. happy holidays to you as well.
god bless, and as i said, i love you so much,

It's good to know that you won't compromise the music you make, and we love. I don't understand how it (the theme for Narnia) can be "too epic" when it is a very epic story. Weird. We all appreciate the extra time taken, because it shows the effort you all put into it. Thanks!

Hi Amy!, I'm Fer from Argentina, and I recently joined evboard. We love you and the band in Argentina, and we hope Evanescence visit our country. I still cant understand why your music for Narnia was rejected!, but I'm sure that they couldn't appreciate your music as is deserved it, you are a great artist! (forgive me if my english is not so good...:confused: ).
I cant wait for the new album!, I know you are working really hard on it, and I'm sure it will be amazing!. Is really nice to hear you, I love you, your music, your voice, your eyes... (Oh my God..., Shaun will kill me...:D ). Ok, talking seriously again, you are an amazing band and you have an enormous future, keep working hard and making great music!!
Anyway, enjoy your holidays, you deserve it. Happy birthday and we expect to hear news from you soon.
See ya,

Fer.

And I'm sure the music which you've actually written for Narnia sounds great!! Will it also be on the album? Or will we get another chance to hear it?
Anyway..Have a great day everybody!

I'm glad to hear you really happy about your new album.I can't wait till it comes out!
Thanks for telling us about the Narnia thing..I was wondering why they didn't write anything about your music on their website...Your music is perfect and everyone thinks that too so don't be sad about not being in the narnia soundtrack!;)

Heya Amy,

Thanks so much for posting, its always great to hear what's happening:D Looking forward to the new album, cannot wait;) Its a shame about Narnia though, it looks like an awesome movie. I have to agree with BlakHoleSun13, its a very epic book, in fact the whole series is epic:confused:

Oh well, Happy holidays to you and the guys.:D Have a wonderful time!

HEY EVERYBODY!!!!
its been a crazy couple of weeks, but everything is going SO GREAT in the studio. I can hardly contain my excitement for this record, and I'm happier than I've been in so long I can't remember. :) I haven't had a chance to look through all of the drawing ideas for the epilepsy logo yet, but there's some really amazing stuff in there. Thank you so much, guys. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that I DO NOT have any music in the chronicles of narnia :( I did write music for it, that I love very much, but it was rejected for the movie because it was "too dark" and "too epic." My darlings, if I can't write dark, epic music, I can't live. I thought about it for awhile, and then finally decided that I simply will not compromise my art for anything. It is very sad, though, because I think the movie is going to be amazing. Its really good- I just don't want you guys to go and see it and be let down because you thought our music was in there. Oh well, more great stuff for the album. :) IM SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!! and im so glad we took the extra time to make this record right. You're gonna love it. I love you guys, and I'm sorry I haven't been around in a while, but its all for a very good cause. Happy holidays! I'll talk to you soon.
love
amy

Welcome back Amy!!
Without your dark, epic music I can't live...
That's a good things to do if someone think that I'm to angry or something..

I think my art teacher think I'm a little kind of werd.. I had a portable cd and sat on a lesson and listend.. Whit high volym.. So Everyone who was in beside the same table heard song and everything.. And sometime I sad
"What!?" and I don't know what they talk about..

So go and write more dark music..
I Listend on it, What it ever is about...

Hi Amy. Thanx so much for taking the time out to let us know what's going on. I was a little disappointed about the "Narnia" thing, but it's all good. At least I have an awesome album to look forward to. Obviously, we all love you too ;) Have a blessed holiday:)

I thought The Chronicles of Narnia WAS quite dark....oh well...they're missing some great music though... ^^
And thanks for explaining about the extra time, I was a little suspicious about it, but now I trust it. Now I also have something to look forward to during the last test week, and an extra reason to get a good report card :D
Wow this quite made my day :)

Amyyyy! Long time no see :D. I'm so glad you decided not to change your music for Narnia. The film would have been so much better with your music in it.. But if they wanna miss out, that's their choice. Your music is special, and if you'd have changed it for them, it wouldn't have that dark beauty in it that I've grown to love.. I can't wait for the new album :D. It'll be so great. *excited* :P. Take care xx

Great to hear from you Amy. It's good to know that everything is going smoothly.

About your new album, just work on it as long as necessary, if you and the guys are happy with it it will be good enough for any Ev fan (and to everybody else too :)).

EEEEEEEEEEK! New album! *cheers wildly*

Let's just hope to God that it's on the shelves the day it actually is set to come out in my part of Canada. I mean, I had to wait for Anywhere But Home for a day. Do you know how agonizing that was?!

*laughs* Ahh, but the wait is definitely worth it, by the sounds of it. Can't wait to hear the musical genius of Evanescence once again!

*curls up in her chair, waits anxiously*

One of my older people friends had something to do with making or producing or doing something with that movie. I'm going to drive to his house, and ask, what the fuck were you thinking?

heh, maybe not. I don't wanna die.

:rolleyes:

I've heard that Alanis Morrisette is doing the theme. I mean, Amy is a great songwriter no doubt, but that is some tough competition (at least in my opinion); although, that's not exactly the kind of movie I would envision Alanis doing. Some other people might, but not I.

Epic and Dark, Amy I'm so happy for this. It's not important if you don't make a soundtrack for the film, it's important if you MAKE MUSIC THAT YOU LOVE.

Evanescenceitalia.net LOVE YOU.

That is so cool Amy! I'm really excited to hear the new album. I've already ran Fallen into the ground! It sucks about Narnia. I want to see the movie still but, I thought you guys were playing a song and that would have been REALLY COOL!!!!!:cool:

That's so awsome!! *is all hyper and excited* hehehehe

Can't wait for the new music, and to see Narnia. I remember it from when I was a kid. I bought the book the other day (the Chronicals, not just The Lion, The Witch..) just so I could read it before I went to see the movie, but now I'm contemplating reading The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrode incase I judge the movie off the book, which is what I always do.

Anyways, can not wait for the new stuff! I'm hanging out for it! Hehe

Love Susie

I'm feeling your excitment Amy!
I can't wait to hear the new album, but i sware you are teasing us with it :P

That sucks about the Narnia song thing, but meh, doesn't matter. And no you shouldn't have to change your style, they either like it or they don't :-/

Happy Holidays to you as well, and hope to hear from you soon :D

Wow, thank you for the update Amy! In your message we can see the excitement. And to here you update, it definately makes us excited too! Sorry about the Chronicles of Narnia music thing.... But it is completely understandable about why they rejected it. I'm the same way with my work-- If I can't write the way I do, thre is no way I would be able to live. My music and art keeps me breathing. It keeps me sane. But hopefully we get to here your song anyway.
Is there anyway that the song you wrote will be featured on the new album?

Happy Holidays Amy:) --

You see that's exactly why I have such high respect and love for this band. They keep true to who they are and won't compromise that just so their name would appear on some motion picture. That's so great! I can't wait for new album. Thanks for keeping us updated Amy.
