after the piano part we've got this simple riff (01:42):

then, at 02:02, there is:

at about 02:12 there is a riff that sounds like this
(a circa 02:12 c'è un riff che suona come segue):
A               B (riff B 1st time)   riff B 2nd time

p   p   pppp    pp   pp   pp          pp   pp   pp     it's the closest
to the song's one.

The 1st harmonic is more like a semi-harmonic but even if it's a pitch one the sound is
The harmonics are played by 1 guitar.
(io il 2° harmonic lo suono al 3° tasto ed è quello che più si avvicina a quello nella
Avendo fatto questo riff e i seguenti ad orecchio non è garantito che siano giusti al
Il 1° harmonic è più che altro un semi-harmonic ma anche se suonato come pitch harmonic
suono non cambia di molto. Gli harmonics vengono suonati da una delle due chitarre)

After this part there's a piano part repeated then by both the guitars.
This riff sounds as follows. I'm 100% that this riff is tabbed as follows 'cause I tried
first on Guitar Pro.(note: this riff is faster than can appear, to distinguish 10 to
Before this riff there's this:
(Dopo c'è una parte di pianoforte ripetuta poi anche da entrambe le chitarre. Sono
al 100% che il riff seguente sia giusto, anche perchè l'ho provato su Guitar Pro. Questo riff
più veloce di quello che i trattini possono indicare. Questo perche non si confondesse
con 1-0. Chi vorrà fare il file di Guitar Pro lo informo che tutte le note del BRIDGE
biscrome. La velocità della canzone si aggira ai 110x0.50 come impostazione su Guitar

on 2nd time the 1st guitar plays as first but the 2nd guitar plays the same riff 2
higher(la seconda volta la chitarra 1 suona come prima ma la chitarra 2 suona lo stesso riff
ottave più alte quindi):

|12----12----12--15----13----12--10-----10------10---13------12------10---|

|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then there's a part that sounds like this (Poi c'è una parte che suona come segue):

Both Guitars
This first riff is repeated 3 times
(questo riff si ripete 3 volte e, con le biscrome, così scritto sta in 4/4)

Then there's the outro same as the bridge but with a little variation
(Poi c'è la chiusura uguale al BRIDGE ma con una piccola variazione)

No Picture Zach Average	#1 by Zach Eisenman at Sep 26, 2007 at 2:24 AM EST
	Love it. (Why are you posting if you have nothing to say?) (Ow, shut up, you freak!) (You called me a freak! Youre the one with a split personality!) (You're the second personality, dummy!) (...)

No Picture Jona_Red.Hot Wanna Be	#2 by Jona_Red.Hot Olavaria at Sep 26, 2007 at 12:02 PM EST
	my fave song on the album! its so deep & thoughtful...

No Picture Laurence Average	#3 by Laurence Alam at Sep 27, 2007 at 4:26 PM EST
	In response to WishingForYou's comment, it might indicate some kind of deeper connection stretched over a longer distance; as though two people are so close they can feel each other's presence constantly, but are too physically far apart to actually hear one another. An amazing song, just wonderful. I love the "swim lonely" part, but I can't imagine what it would mean...

No Picture fredman Average	#4 by fredman jesu at Sep 27, 2007 at 5:40 PM EST
	I'm kinda glad you said that as I wondered which song Amy wrote by Terry's bedside - it makes sense now! "I can't see your star" - meaning that he's going to survive so his star isn't there?

No Picture Mike Lead Player	#5 by Mike at Sep 27, 2007 at 7:30 PM EST
	This song is about Terry's stroke? How Amy was there for him, she thought he was going to die, if he did, his life would be like a star in the sky to her. Yet he didnt.

No Picture Zero Average	#6 by Zero Life at Sep 28, 2007 at 4:41 AM EST
	amy came up with this song when she was feeling homesick in lisbon. " couple of years ago, I felt so alone that I was dreading going on tour. We had just arrived in Lisbon and I was in my room feeling jet-lagged, weird and tired. I had just been home where I could see the stars at night. But when I looked out the hotel window in Lisbon, I couldn't see anything because we were in this big city. That was the last straw. I felt so depressed, I just started singing this song." I really like the new album. You can't judge it by the first single. The whole album's very different from it.

No Picture E Average	#7 by E F at Sep 28, 2007 at 10:11 AM EST
	I DEF agree with Death_Is_Hereditary on this 1. Not 1 of my fav'z

No Picture Tom Rhythm Player	#8 by Tom the Scarecrow at Sep 29, 2007 at 4:11 AM EST
	this is probably my least favourite song along with good enough....it annoys me the way she holds star for so long....its an orite song but not one of the best

No Picture Ian Lead Player	#9 by Ian Kien at Sep 30, 2007 at 4:14 AM EST
	Anyone here know what "swim lonely" could possibly mean?

No Picture klown Rhythm Player	#10 by klown at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:33 AM EST
	Yeah this song is wayy annoying to me. I honestly think this is the worst song on the album. But, the rest is pretty good :]

No Picture Ransom Professional	#11 by Ransom Marx at Sep 30, 2007 at 7:42 AM EST
	I love this song. I was reading the lyrics and, I find it interesting that, in the bridge [I suppose that's what you would call it], Amy Lee sings, "Why can't you feel me calling your name?" The first time I heard it, I thought she said "hear". Question: Why does she say "feel"?

No Picture Jeff Average	#12 by Jeff Mensch at Sep 30, 2007 at 9:38 PM EST
	I live the line: "why can't you feel me calling your name?" This song is so nice and this line is especially powerful. Although many of the songs on this album have somewhat specific meanings i think they can still relate to your life in some way. btw. this is my favorite song on the album next to Lose Control. Nice Album.

No Picture matt Average	#13 by matt lenardson at Sep 30, 2007 at 10:12 PM EST
	I didn't know that Terry had a stroke until I read these comments. Wow, am I slow or what? But yeah, this song has a beautiful vibe to it. And I feel drawn to it, when it's on on the CD I turn it up. It's a very touching song, and I will have it in my mind forever ^_^

No Picture E_r_I_c Average	#14 by E_r_I_c G_i_L_b_E_r_T at Oct 1, 2007 at 12:28 AM EST
	^ Think of a cruise ship (hehe), and imagine the whole ship is destroyed and everything is in 'parts and pieces', with all the little survivors stranded in the water, swimming in every direction for land or a rescue team - anything to save themselves. The line just means that all Amy's different feelings and emotions (eg. sadness, happiness, love, fear etc) clash in her mind so much that in the end she is totally lost about what she should feel. She then has to find a way to solve each emotion separately, and do it with no-one else's help - she has to "find her own way out" of the wreckage. That's just what I think anyway (hope it makes sense somehow).

No Picture ♥WeEzY Average	#15 by ♥WeEzY♥ at Oct 1, 2007 at 1:46 AM EST
	This song reminds me of Terry's stroke. The third line reminds me of the way someone would wait by a hospital bed for someone to wake up.

No Picture Ace Average	#16 by Ace Of Spades at Oct 1, 2007 at 2:11 AM EST

No Picture What?Me Worry? Wanna Be	#17 by What?Me Worry? at Oct 1, 2007 at 9:19 AM EST
	actually, she wrote this is Lisbon when she was depressed, because she was having a bad day and then she looked out the window to see the stars but there weren't any there; thus driving her over the edge a little, i guess. it makes more sense with the terry thing. i don't know, it's what i read in an interview. either way it's pretty. :)

No Picture Joanne Average	#18 by Joanne Mackenzie at Oct 2, 2007 at 4:45 AM EST
	Um...I thought it was "the mechanical lights of this world"... hides B-b-but I could be wrong...That's just what it said in the lyric book...A misprint, perhaps?

No Picture Alex Professional	#19 by Alex Moser at Oct 2, 2007 at 9:40 AM EST
	I think this song is so annoying.

No Picture Jon Lead Player	#20 by Jon Zell at Oct 3, 2007 at 11:25 AM EST
	This is Terry's fav song. That's why he loves it very much. The song meaning is correct.

No Picture Dylan Average	#21 by Dylan at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:26 PM EST
	I don't think this song is about Terry's stroke....I mean amybe there's some influence about that in there but Amy wrote this during the fallen tour when she was in lisbon Germany....she said that she has just gotten home and sat down by the bed to see the stars so she could get away from everything...but because of the lights outside she couldn't see them....hence I can't see your star. and the whole and I'm alone now...this is when shes feeling so alone and yeah.... -Jake 1 2 Next

No Picture Naomi Average	#22 by Naomi Branfoot at Oct 4, 2007 at 2:47 AM EST
	such a gorgeous, gorgeous song. I love this.

No Picture Jaakko Wanna Be	#23 by Jaakko Nyman at Oct 5, 2007 at 4:03 PM EST
	I agree call me when you're sober is completely different from all the other songs on the album. When i first heard it I was like oh no don't tell me they've changed completely. But even though I thought that I still made my brother get the album the first day it came out and I'm so glad I did because the album is marvelous. And you know I can't belive people don't love some songs on the album because every single on of them is brilliant. But anyway about this song... I really like it, the starting is quite slow and I don't really like slow songs but after the intro it just gets amazing.

No Picture The Real Slim S Average	#24 by The Real Slim Shady at Oct 5, 2007 at 4:30 PM EST
	As much as people say this song is annoying...I think the instrumentalization in it makes up for it. Well, it would make sense if this is Terry's favorite song because the guitar's pretty damn good. The music starting from around 2:35. Very Nice. Sorry I'm focusing on the music 'stead of the lyrics, but the people here pretty much covered that part of the song.
