Anyone who reads my blog will know that I occasionally put songs on here. To formalize this, I am going to make it a regular Friday feature to pick a song off my iPod and present it here. So, here is the Friday song from my iPod:

Shaun Morgan of the group Seether and Amy Lee of Evanescence perform this song together. The song was originally performed by Seether on their Disclaimer album, but Amy Lee joined them on stage one night and the result led to this re-recording of the song. The two of them were an item for awhile but Morgan’s problems with drugs and alcohol caused the two to break up. Lee wrote a song in 2006 about their relationship, Call Me When You Are Sober, that blames Morgan for the problems in the relationship. The song came out just after Morgan had gone into rehab. Lee also said that the song Lithium, is about Morgan. Morgan has said that the public airing of his problems has been very embarrassing but that he does not intend on writing any songs about Lee. This song reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Broken
I wanted you to know I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph and I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

You’ve gone away, you don’t feel me, anymore

The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There’s so much left to learn, and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain

‘Cause I’m broken when I’m open
And I don’t feel like I am strong enough
‘Cause I’m broken when I’m lonesome
And I don’t feel right when you’re gone away

You’ve gone away
You don’t feel me here anymore

Written by Shaun Morgan

From wikipedia:
The Nigel Dick-directed music video has Morgan sitting in a car playing an acoustic guitar and Lee wandering around a ruined landscape with black angel wings. It was also used for the single album art. Shortly after the song was recorded, the two split up. The song was used in the movie The Punisher.
