I just picked up the Evanescense album Fallen. It's quite good; not exactly what I had expected after hearing the song "My Immortal" on the radio. It has a harder edge to it, and a surprising take on the popular song. The 4th track is "My Immortal" - but it's an acoustic rendition. Much softer, much slower - no big uptempo at the mid point of the song, just the same basic sound on a piano. The funny thing is, the pop track is on the CD, the 12th track - but the liner notes don't mention a 12th track. Interesting. I'm still not sure which rendition I like better. One thing to note though - "My Immortal" is not a happy song. I guess I hadn't paid that much attention to the lyrics before, but I have now. It's a very haunting track, and the acoustic version makes that very obvious.
