Their first music material, Evanescence EP, featured six demo songs recorded by both Amy and Ben. Give Unto Me, Solitude, Understanding, and My Immortal were the first four songs written by Evanescence.

Their second release, Sound Asleep/Whisper EP, featured a few more new songs and other versions of the previous songs such as Understanding and Imaginary.

Origin, the first major release, featured some songs Amy and Ben composed in high school. Old songs were re-made and only a few copies were made. Origin was produced with the help of Bigwig Enterprises and their new member David Hodges and guest players, William Boyd and John LeCompt.

Before debuting with their first studio album, Evanescence released Mystary EP. This was a preview of what was to be on the CD. However, different versions are on the album and some unincluded songs from the album exist on the EP. At this time, Hodges left the band.

Their debut studio album, Fallen, has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and has studio versions of their previous songs: Imaginary, My Immortal, and Whisper. Two versions of My Immortal are featured on the CD. Ben Moody left the band at this time.

Their live CD/DVD, Anywhere But Home, has sold 1.5 million copies. This DVD features Evanescence @ Zenith, Paris. The concert has 11 songs + 1 outtake from Fallen: Missing. The DVD also features Music Videos, Behind the Scenes, and a special performance of Bring Me To Life.

Their newest release, The Open Door, has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. The 13 track featured CD contains great singles like Call Me When You're Sober, Lithium, and Good Enough. The CD won "Album of the Year" in Australia. The album also reached the top spot on Billboard's Music Charts in a month. The Open Door's outtake planned to be released as b-sides on singles, but only The Last Song I'm Wasting On You made the Lithium single.

From: Amy Lee
To: Ben Moody

Dear Ben,
Please, please forgive me,
But you won't be home again. (because you decided to walk away)
Maybe someday you'll look up,
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?" (yeah, your entire band)
I won't cry for your absence, I know... (no one will!)
I forgot you long ago. (along with everyone else that got you where you are today)
Are you that unimportant...?
Are so insignificant...?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing you?

p.s. - Call Me When You're Not A Bitch. you're Everybody's Fool if you think you can get away with this. we're Forever Gone. This band has never been Forever You. if you think you're Good Enough to go solo, then just do it already instead of spreading Lies that Evanescence is "nothing", when the truth is it's on its on Cloud Nine. you know you're The Only One who thinks we suck, because you're All That You're Living For. I'm sure you're asking yourself, "Where Will I Go. We'll go Anywhere to get Away From You and your selfish need for Solitude, because we've reached an Understanding that Even In Death Our Fans Go On!

p.p.s. - this is The Last Song I'm Wasting On You
