Weight of the World - Evanescence - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Exploding with hard rock riffage from the off, "Weight of the World" makes itself known immediately. "Feels like the weight of the world / Like God in heaven gave me a turn / Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you / Still in the dark, can you fix me?," pleads Amy Lee, her voice rising to a sky-high climax in the chorus as she declares, "If you love me, then let go of me / I won't be held down by who I used to be," on a song that sounds as if it's in perpetual motion. The song tunes into Amy Lee's spirituality and her status as the iconic voice of a generation – having forged her position after the sweeping success of the band's chart-topping debut album Fallen – conveying the responsibility she feels to her fanbase. “Weight of the World” was featured on the Arkansas band's second studio album, The Open Door, and was released as a single in October 2007.
