As we lay inside in bliss I know you'll remember me

I see the song as being about loving so much that you're almost obsessed, but not quite, and that this love has helped you realize your life. If that makes any sense...

Anyway, I think the title October definately makes sense. Just when you listen to the intro with the acoustic guitar playing (by the way October is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. I just love the way it sounds!!) and you can just see the trees turning orange and everything... I don't know, the music just sounds to me like October, it makes me think of leaves.
I love Ev's acoustic songs, I think they tend to show off Amy's voice the best.

I agree with you 100%.

As for the song, I think its about love. I could almost consider this to be a great wedding song, except for the fact that a few lyrics are that appropiate for a wedding. But who knows, I would assume to be in a relationship with someone for a long time before marriage, so maybe this fits perfect, as its more like the relationship has had its twists and turns, but you've finally realized you cant live without this person.

I also can see the connection with the title. I immediately think of fall when I hear this song. Don't know why, just do.

I absolutely love Amy's voice in this song.
Ah, Evanescence.
Just so wonderful.

This is an amazing song. I've sang it so many times in public. I sang it for 2 school events. i took this song as a christian song so i sang it in church once too. and i also played the guitar to it.. Before i even sang this song for my choir director just explaining it to her {my interpretation {{sp?}}} made her cry so when i was singing it in church she was like bawling lol. If i ever do sing it again in chuch i want the choir to sing the backup vocals on the chorus. {the "all the times i've tried" part} i just think it would sound cool.

October always seemed to me like it was one of their most "Christian" or "religious" songs...

I can't run anymore
I fall down before you
Here I am
I have nothing left

it all just strikes me as she is presenting herself before God, and letting her life fall into His hands...I love this song and it has a lot of meaning to me

__________________

I can see it both ways. I understand how it can seem religious and all...and I also see how it could just be a dramatic love song. Personally, I think it's just a love song even though I'm a Christian myself.

I also think it's a bit ironic, since The Open Door comes out in October...unless you live in Australia!

its funny you say that...i've always dreamed that amy would perform at my wedding...well, if gay marriages are ever legalized and if amy supports it...dont know how she stands on this issue...but i always wanted october or forgive me with like you said some small lyric modifications to fit a wedding...or me and her can write an original together...haha...i wish

I completely agree with you. I think this is one of the most Christian songs I have heard. But the way I see it is that (s)he hasn't been so religious lately and (s)he wants to find God again. (S)he feels she has strayed away from Him, is sorry and wants his acceptance and love again.
"In all my bitterness, I've ignored all that's real and true. All I need is you."
"I fall into your abounding grace"
I love this song so much and like you said, it has a lot of meaning to me, too. It has inspired me in a way to become closer to God.
Sorry for spreading religion around...heh.
I've also seen that other people have thought this way, too. (Eh...I just read through it all. I apologize, again.)

This song is so soulful and peaceful, whenever I listen to it, I'm transported to a place where nothing more exists... it's like beeing nowhere, with no one, and with nothing in your mind... it's very refreshing...

(my god the last part sounded like thoses little sentences on a DVD cover ''A refreshing comedy'' - the New York Post...)

speaking of re recording things, what do you think now of the song "october",
personally i think as one of your old songs i think it deserves much more recognition than it gets by fans of the old stuff now. i would consider it to be a work of art. not a song, (personal oppinion) thoughts??? anyone???

speaking of recognition? has anybody heard a song called centre aisle by caedmons call. i cant really describe it, but its heaps mellow and i think everyone should give it a go.
again? thought? lol.
it deserves more attention than it gets unfortunately, the same with a song called goodbye by plankeye, i dont know weather its big anywhere, here in australia its not even been noticed. i hate that
