Evanescence
On the songs: secret door
"When we stopped touring in the end of 2007, we were off, we were not doing anything, and I didn't have any plan. I thought, ' I want to learn a new instrument.' I did classic piano many years growing up. I was used having piano classes once a week, studying, learning a piece. Once Evanescence was really happening, you know, I was out of high school and everything, I wasn't learning anymore. I was writing my own music and kind of working internally. And I missed learning, you know. It's cool when you're learning 'cause you feel like you get new ideas from that, you get better. So I took harp lessons for like a year and felt really good. And, you know, I can't play a lot, I'm not an amazing harpist. Let's be honest! It's fun to be able to do. 'Secret Door' is the one song on the album that's really different. It's just harp and orchestra, basically. It's like when you're in a dream and there's this magical place and you wake up and you don't want to wake up and always trying to get back into that same dream. That was what it was inspired by."
