It is a gift to be able to add a visual plane to music which actually elevates your emotional experience . This particular song , apart from being hauntingly addictive , has a brilliantly crafted video . Call it my fascination for black and white , but the lack of colour seems to add more meaning and feeling to the video . Amy Lee's voice is really something , powerful , yet not harsh . The song also brings out the beauty of the sound of the piano . An all in all absorbing song . Do have a look at the video .
PS : Please suggest songs with a similar premise if you know any . I am a sucker for sad love songs .

Agree with the reaper..James Blunt's Goodbye my lover is awesome..you can also try Last Train by Travis..that's the best expression of desperation. Not quite in that league is Take a look at me now by Phil Collins and maybe a coupla Air Supply numbers..can share any of the above any time.
