So, I fell in love with a woman about five years ago. Her name is Amy Lee. She is the one female other than Lush that I would go 100% lesbian for. I know, her voice is better in studio recordings than live, and she is the epitome of EMO, but dammit, I think it is safe to say that anyone who has heard a song written by this woman has flashed back to one time in their life when they have been so heartbroken they couldn’t breathe. She has an amazing ability to write music; however depressing and heartbreaking that music may be. On more than one occasion I have been driving somewhere, with “My Immortal” or “Breathe No More” on repeat, blasting loud enough to blow the speakers out, crying so hard I got snotty.

I know it is a sappy and “hormonal female” reaction, but when she says certain phrases like “you never call me when you’re sober; you only want it ‘cause it’s over”, it rips at my heartstrings. She went and upped it on me though, she wrote “Good Enough” and I die inside a little every time I hear it. I don’t know why, but some words totally make sense when you hear them strung together, and these words are right out of my own thoughts. So, here is a picture of the beautiful girl, and the lyrics to “Good Enough”, which I think everyone should commit to memory. Then go buy the album and show the poor depressed woman some love.

Under your spell again
I can’t say no to you
Crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand
I can’t say no to you
Shouldn’t have let you torture me so sweetly
Now I can’t let go of this dream
I can’t breathe but I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough for you
Drink up sweet decadence
I can’t say no to you
and I’ve completely lost myself and I don’t mind
I can’t say no to you
Shouldn’t have let you conquer me completely
Now I can’t let go of this dream
Can’t believe that I feel
Good enough
I feel good enough
its been such a long time coming, but I feel good
and I’m still waiting for the rain to fall
Pour real life down on me
Cause I can’t hold on to anything this good
Enough
am I good enough
for you to love me too?
So take care what you ask of me
‘Cause I can’t say no

Yeah, I Know – You’re Welcome,

K
