Talk:Lost Whispers (song)

From The Evanescence Reference

Lost Whisper edit war

I found this other source for now. Unfortunately, the original source is no more available. Amy in a post on evthreads talked about the song and shared the lyrics (November 2009). Before deleting such large parts of text, I recommend starting a discussion to avoid edit wars. Furthermore, if a source is not considered reliable, it would be better to use the "fact" template [citation needed]

Lost whispers
awaken within me
and fly...

Kind of like a prayer to reconnect to the old music, my old self. Calling it all back to me.
I’m glad we were able to use at least just a minute of new music. Terry and I wrote that a few months ago and its been in the “half done” bin for awhile. I think it turned into a beautiful intro.

Given that Amy posted that in November 2009 after the only two Ev shows of that year (not counting the L&L performance), she was referring to the intro of said shows, i.e. then-untitled Lost Whispers. As her post on the Maquinaria announcement thread is no longer available because 1. The forum was taken down in 2012 and 2. This post was not saved by webarchive, we rely on sources from fansites that reposted her quote "without a context". Here I'm giving the context. I remember to this day that she posted that because I was a user on EvThreads at the time.

EvWebsite is a reliable source because they were recognised by Amy. They wouldn't make this things up. They just copied and pasted her quote.

Here's the link to her specific post, but you can't access it due to the above-mentioned reasons: http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=1222777&postcount=928

That said, may I undo Undermosa's deletions?

EvWebsite is the OFFICIAL Italian Fan Club and one of the most reliable sources that can be found. The entire quote contains the lyrics of the song and this, for me, confirm that she was talking about "Lost Whispers". Those are not random quotes without context. "The words I was singing in the intro were: Lost whispers / awaken within me / and fly... I’m glad we were able to use at least just a minute of new music. Terry and I wrote that a few months ago and its been in the “half done” bin for awhile. I think it turned into a beautiful intro". Any clearer than that... We can put it to a vote. I vote for restore the quote --Sweet Sacrifice (talk) 10:29, 14 April 2023 (PDT)
