"Anywhere" is the eighth track on Evanescence's demo album, Origin.
Background[]
Amy Lee, Ben Moody, and David Hodges have writing credits on this song.[1] Hodges sings backup vocals. The story of Romeo and Juliet - as well as the Claire Danes/Leonardo DiCaprio movie version of it - may be an inspiration for this song.
Original versions of Origin feature an "Anywhere" outtake in which Hodges sings the chorus horridly. The outtake can be accessed by rewinding the CD from the 30-second "Origin" intro that starts the album.
In a Reddit AMA thread in 2016, Amy said that when she listens to the song, she can picture "a Renaissance fair date".[2]
The Origin vinyl features the official version, as part of the Ultimate Collection box set.[3]
