Sally's Song Lyrics

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.
