Fallen Journal

Amy's Lyrics Journal

Fallen Journal is a journal with exclusive notes, handwritten lyrics and drawings made by Amy Lee during the Fallen era. It made its first appearance as "Amy's Lyrics Journal" on Evanescence.com in 2003. On the site's music section, it was possible to read the lyrics of Fallen's songs both in digital format and handwritten lyrics format.

The quality of the scans published in 2003 was not very good. Some of these pages were then republished in high definition in the band's official forum, EvClub, which opened in 2006. In celebration of Fallen's 10th anniversary, handwritten lyrics of "Imaginary" and "Whisper" were published on the band's official website, as well as drawings and a behind the scene photo of the "My Immortal" video shoot (please see Fallen Scrapbook).

In celebration of the album's 20th anniversary, a limited edition Super Deluxe Box Set with the remastered album + bonus material will be released in February 2024. The box set's cover is inspired by Amy's lyrics journal artwork.

• On page 5, Amy writes about her impressions of the tour and new life after the success of Fallen: This moment is so perfect I was afraid to move to get to this journal... afraid to turn on the light I'm writing in the dark. Only the light of the city outside shows me the page. 2nd day of tour. Sitting in the window on the 23rd floor of a hotel in Sacramento. "I can't see New York" playing on my ears - the cars so beautiful in slow - perfect motion - swimming together. A red light on the top of a smaller building in front of me blinks unevenly. The clouds are right in front of me. breathing together - graceful dark [...]. "I can't seem to find my way out of your hunting ground". ON THE OTHER SIDE NEW... YORK. As the music grows the few cars become a flood. As it ends I watch them float away together. My life is a dream. Nothing is completely unexpected. Nothing pleases me. Everything is possible. It's a drama, in slow motion where everything has a premeditated, planned purpose by everyone - though I have no idea what will happen, I know exactly. We have always existed. It's just now morning.
