![]() ![]() Clay gave £5,000 for the statue and complementary plaques. The statue was a gift to the city by businessman Philip EF Clay, who wanted to give Nottingham a focal point for visitors interested in the town's links to the legend of Robin Hood. Woodford wanted to ensure that the statue was as authentic as possible and went to great lengths to research the stories of Robin Hood, period costume, and archery so that the finished sculpture would look as real as it possibly could. ![]() It weighs over half a ton and is made up of 8 separate pieces of bronze. It was sculpted by local artist James Arthur Woodford RA, OBE (1893-1976) and erected in 1952. The statue is greater than life-sized, standing 7 feet tall and set upon a rusticated stone plinth. You can follow in Edward III's footsteps - and maybe in the footsteps of Robin Hood himself - and tour the caves and tunnel network under the castle. And we also know that the caves were used by Edward III and his supporters in 1330 to steal into the castle at night and capture Edward's enemy, Roger Mortimer. The escape is certainly plausible we know that the system of caves and tunnels were in place before the castle was built in the 11th century. He made his way to safety in Sherwood Forest. The ever-resourceful Robin managed to escape through the caves and underground tunnels that permeate Castle Rock, the rocky promontory on which the castle stands. One of these stories says that Robin Hood was captured by his enemy, the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham, and held prisoner in Nottingham Castle. What we do have are collections of tales that have been altered and added to over the centuries. There is, unfortunately, no definitive history of Robin Hood, nor do we even know if he was a real person or if so, when he lived. The statue shows the famous outlaw, his bow bent, an arrow notched and ready to fire, aiming in the general direction of the twin-towered castle gatehouse. One of Nottingham's most popular visitor attractions is a modern statue of the outlaw Robin Hood, which stands on a small green space known as Robin Hood's Lawn in what used to be the moat of medieval Nottingham Castle.

![]() “The song was initially about him,” Lee confirms. He was an unknowing part of my emancipation.” Hence, the opening lyrics of “Bring Me to Life”: “ How can you see into my eyes like open doors? / Leading you down into my core / Where I’ve become so numb. “It was like he was the only one who did and it affected me… the exposure was a shock but it felt good. “He just seemed to see right through me,” she explains. “I was in an abusive relationship when I met for like the second time,” she says, “and thought myself to be pretty good at hiding it and faking happy.” When she was briefly left alone with Hartzler in a restaurant while their friends parked the car, however, Lee says he looked into her eyes and asked, “Are you happy?” Lee also reveals some more specific inspirations for “Bring Me to Life” – namely, her now-husband Josh Hartzler. “Bring Me to Life”, she says, was influenced by this period of transition, expressing “true desires, unspoken frustrations and fears, standing up to the bullshit around me I was just on the cusp of being able to defeat”. “I was really just starting to find my voice lyrically when we were making Fallen, starting to see how the more honest I was, the more powerful I felt,” Lee tells Dazed from the road. This leads us to our next point: where did “Bring Me to Life” come from in the first place – how did Evanescence come up with such a banger? Luckily for us, Lee has taken a break from her current tour to offer some insight into the making and meaning of the song. Like “Running Up That Hill” before it, though, “Bring Me to Life” wouldn’t have reemerged if it wasn’t a certified classic to begin with. ![]() ![]() The more likely story, though, is that “Bring Me to Life” has been quite literally resurrected by the mystical necromancy of the TikTok algorithm, after being mashed up with the Stranger Things fan song “Chrissy Wake Up” in more than 17,000 TikToks. It could have something to do with the fact that Evanescence are currently on a co-headline tour of the US with fellow nu-metal throwbacks Korn. What caused this resurgence in the song’s popularity? Fans of the band and disgruntled BLACKPINK stans (the K-pop group is currently at number two) seem equally perplexed. And yet, last week the rock-rap anthem did just that, with Evanescence tweeting: “ 19 years and still going strong! Bring Me To Life is #1 on iTunes. That doesn’t explain why we’re seeing “Bring Me to Life” shoot back to the top of the iTunes charts in 2022, though. Today, the accompanying music video – which sees lead singer Amy Lee scale a dystopian city block – has amassed over one billion views on YouTube, and has firmly earned its place in the nu-metal history books. On April 7, 2003, a little American rock band called Evanescence dropped their debut single, “Bring Me to Life”, to unexpected global acclaim. ![]() ![]() KeyShot license types are described below. ![]() Upon installing the KeyShot software, users will be prompted to accept the End User License Agreement (EULA), which covers the licensing of KeyShot software.
