Lee co-founded the rock band Evanescence with guitarist Ben Moody. The two met at a youth camp after Moody heard Lee playing Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" on the piano. Within a month, the pair were playing acoustic sets at Arkansas book stores and coffee houses, and they eventually recorded two EPs, "Evanescence EP" (1998) and "Sound Asleep EP" (1999), selling them at various local venues. In 2000, Evanescence recorded the longer EP "Origin". This demo contains three songs from the debut album "Fallen" written by Lee and Moody: "Whisper", "Imaginary", and "My Immortal". Whereas "Whisper" and "Imaginary" were altered before being included on "Fallen", "My Immortal" is virtually unchanged, except for additional string arrangements. A later band version of "My Immortal" was made available for download for those who had bought an official version of "Fallen" through their web site, but required that a CD checker program also be downloaded for verification before it would play. The band version is included on later copies of "Fallen", such as the Brazilian, Bolivian, and Argentine editions.
