From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Weight of the World" is the fifth single from the multi-platinum album The Open Door by rock band Evanescence. It was released as a "promo-only"/limited release single in Colombia during October 2007,[1] similar to the release of the single "Imaginary" in Spain.
[edit] Story behind the song
| “ |
I live for the rock songs. With the line-up changing, I think a lot of people thought it would be more of the "My Immortal" stuff. But "My Immortal" was Ben [Moody]'s song! I was always trying to pull us in a crazier direction. Songs like "Weight of the World" and "Sweet Sacrifice" and "All That I'm Living For" are so amazing to me because of the adrenaline. Especially when we play them live. |

Lee said that "Weight of the World" is a response to the pressure she feels when fans want her answers to questions regarding their personal experiences.[3]
