"Listen To the Rain"
Released November 4, 2000
Length 3:14
Producers Amy Lee

"Listen To the Rain" is an outtake that was going to be included on Evanescence's demo album, Origin, but never made the final cut. It was originally intended to play in-between the former part of "Eternal" and the latter half of it which is called "Demise".[citation needed] This is a choir song written and directed by Lee in high school for her high school choir, and was performed by the choir in graduation.[1] Lee was the choir president. The part of the song with the word 'listen' repeated multiply was supposed to represent the rain falling.

Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen, listen
Listen [listen], listen [listen]
Listen [listen], listen [listen]
Listen [listen], listen [listen]
Listen, listen

Listen to each drop of rain [listen, listen]
Whispering secrets in vain [listen, listen]
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground

Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain

Listen, listen, listen, listen
Listen, listen to the rain weeping
Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh

Listen [listen], listen [listen]
Listen [listen], listen

I stand alone in the storm [listen, listen]
Suddenly, sweet words take hold [listen, listen]
Hurry, they say, for you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you

You may feel you're alone
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain

Ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh oh oh oooh
[Listen]
