Greetings
Thanks to my recent acquisition of the Evanescence album - and incidentally, I bet they won't get illegally downloaded that much because of the difficulty in spelling their name - out of the 1000ish songs on my Winamp playlist I now have two called "Hello", one called "Hello, Goodbye", one called "Say Hello Wave Goodbye", and two called "Goodbye". (There's also "See You Soon" or "Good Riddance" as followups to the last two.)
A lot of comings and goings, seemingly.

tell me one the 'hello' tracks isn't that lionel richie one, please. :P
[please insert the word 'of' into the appropriate place of my previous comment. :)]
Good god no... Oasis and Evanescence :)
heh, i suspected as much.
i have the a similar collection of '* hello *' tracks to you i think: oasis, evanescene, the beatles [two versions of 'hello, goodbye'], david gray's 'say hello, wave goodbye' [and i have to original soft cell version too], and one more: bob dylan's 'if you see her, say hello'.
"tell me of one the 'hello' tracks isn't that lionel richie one, please. :P"?
And is the Say Hello Wave Goodbye the Jools Holland one?
re: "tell me of one the 'hello' tracks isn't that lionel richie one, please. :P"?
ooh, almost right -- 4.7 for effort. :)
Jools Holland it is indeed - well guessed!
is that Evanescence jazz any good? that girl has a technical voice, but i worry about the bass player singing. official bentbacktulips rating please.
It's the only album I've heard in the last year that I've really liked on the very first listen (Coldplay excepted). I enjoyed every one of the songs, barring one of the two ballady ones which I don't think worked very well (My Immortal, for anyone who has the album). Overall, 8.5/10; a score which I fully expect will drop in the next week because I can't stop playing the album and I'll just have heard it too much by then.
Evanescence have been described to me independantly by a couple of people as "an angrier version of Silverman", so I guess Silverman could be described as "a mellower version of Evanescence". [PLUG TIME] Silverman is a small UK group who do a lot of performing in student unions and the like - they have one CD to their name (out of three albums) and plenty of songs available to download from MP3.com should you wish to try them out.
Oh, and there are a lot of songs floating around on KazaaLite et al. purporting to be by an artist called "Evan Essence"...
