Sadcore Sundays: “Bring Me to Life” by Evanescence

Sadcore Sundays: "Bring Me to Life" by Evanescence

I’m surprised I haven’t featured Evanescence before today because Amy Lee, their singer, was my ultimate goth girl idol in middle school. She inspired my black lace vintage dresses and combat boots style back then. The music video is sooooo 2009 it’s amazing haha. If you’re going through a breakup and feel empty and unable to function without them, “Bring Me to Life” will be there for you.
