Frogtoon Music - Song Info: The Only One

Evanescence - The Open Door

“The Only One" Was Originally Called "Tuna Afternoon" And It Talks About Lee's Experiences With Close-Mindedness And People Around Her Which Seemed Lost In A World She Didn't Belong In. Amy Explained In An Interview How She Came Up With The Duck Intro “Terry And Me Were Bored One Day 'cause We Didn't Have Any Good Ideas So We Started A Silly Song That We Called Tuna Afternoon. I Found That Duck On The Internet And Added It. I Thought It Didn't Sound Bad And Added It To 'The Only One'.” During The Fan Q&A At Evanescence's Performance For Nissan Live Sets In 2007 Amy Stated “It's Weird. I Was Inspired By Lots Of Things. The Lyrics Were Really About A Lot Of My Youth When I Felt Like I Was In A Very Small Town I Was In Little Rock And Everything And I Felt Very Different From Everyone Around Me Became Really Apparent And Places Like School And Church I Just Felt Like Nobody Got What I Really Wanted To Hear I Guess. You Want The Truth You Want The Real Answers You Want The Meaning Of Life And You Just Get Stuff That's Easy To Swallow So... I Don't Know I Guess The Song Is About Growing Up And Realizing You Have To Kind Of Find The Answers And Not Listen To Everybody Who You Think Knows What They're Talking About. But Yeah Terry And I Just Wrote Music Till Very Very Early In The Mornings When We Were Writing The Open Door And I Remember Writing Forever And Being So Excited About That Song And I Thought It Was The First Single And Like It's The Best Song In The World And... I Don't Know Eating A Lot Of Food And Just Being Stupid. We Love This Song Very Much.” The Song's Working Title Was "Tune Afternoon" Because Amy Made Tuna Noodle Casserole The Day It Was Written. This Title Is In The Song's Master Recording.
