Sally's Song Lyrics
I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him,
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
And will we ever end up together?
And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him,
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

This is a stunning example of Amy Lee's solo work. Her recital of this piece captures the emotion felt by Sally more accurately in my opinion than the recital by Catherine O'Hara as heard in the original Nightmare Before Christmas.
Amy's voice is more somber and minor-toned, which gives it this Burton quality that captures the emotion better.
I agree. Even with Fiona Apple's version, it sounded like she gave the song no thought. Her voice is beautiful yes, but the song sounded nonchalant. Amy gave the song life, put emotion of what Sally was feeling in the movie. And I agree gave Tim Burton what the movie was missing, feeling and emotion.

Amy Lee, Evanescence, same thing. Tim will be with her monday on Leno.
This is my favorite movie ever. And for her to be singing Sally's Song is just awesome. She sings this song so beautifully. I am amazed with each new song that comes out. Her voice is breath taking and I'm glad they chose her. No one else could make this song sound as beautiful as she did.
Yelling at Tim You got the casting all worng! Make the movie over with Amy as Sally!!!!
This is actually by Amy Lee alone. but it's so beautiful
OMG!!!!!!!! i love that she did this i always wanted Evanescence to cover this song! Godnesssss!!!!!!! I love Sally and i love Amy!!! no one better than her to do it, at a point in this song it kind of sounds like (correct me if im wrong) Understanding (Can't wash it all away) right? towards the end... still i love the chanting and everything about it. i ♥ EV xD
love this song! she actually said the song was for and about here sister that passed.
let me rephrase that; she re made it for and about her sister*
i prefer the original version
