Licks & Riffs : Evanescence - Bring Me To Life
We've covered this ground before here at 8notes, when we looked at the harmonies in pieces like
Mark Snow's X Files Theme,
but we've had so many requests to look at the piano opening to Evanescene's hit 'Bring Me To Life' we thought we'd take a look again.
The harmony in both pieces is remarkably similar.
Start by taking a minor chord, and adding a note a semi-tone higher:
Then in the right hand if you meander around on notes that mix Aminor and D minor (A C E - D F E)
and you're left with a very Xfiles/Evanescence -like sound world.
Of course later in the Evanescene song the guitars kick in, but you still get a very good idea of the
kind of chord progression used in the chorus here:
