"I have dreamt of a" song that's better than this one, though "Anywhere" is certainly beautiful as the narrator asserts that the twosome can only love each other somewhere else free of deterrents (like their station and others' prejudices, from my impression). It's a pretty cliché addition to Evanescence's song listing on Anywhere But Home.
The lyrics themselves go a bit beyond such songs as Fefe Dobson's "Take Me Away" by mimicking a discussion instead of the demands that narrator makes of her love interest. The lyrics are still cliché, though they like those of "Take Me Away" don't swear, cuss, blaspheme, or have inappropriate topics.
"Anywhere" demonstrates the fetching voice of Amy Lee many call the soul of Evanescence—or at least they did before Evanescence lost it in The Open Door. Now they realize how big a part the songwriter played, who left the band after the production of Anywhere But Home.
The music of "Anywhere" is more than just a beat, with only somewhat stock music. "Anywhere" is one of the band's softer songs, like the hit "My Immortal". It's not Evanescence at its best, but it's not the band at its worst, either. Anywhere But Home was mainly a release of live versions of Fallen's songs, from what I understand, so maybe Evanescence wasn't too worried about the new songs on the CD.
Music: 4/5
Vocalist(s): 5/5
