MTVNEWS: BEHIND THE SCENES OF "WHAT YOU WANT" MUSIC VIDEO

And basically, it's also [about] New York, where I've been, [and] where [bassist] Tim [McCord] lived in the past few years since we've been gone. And it's sort of about escaping New York and ... coming back out into the world."
Like the song, the "Want" clip is a bit of a departure for Evanescence, eschewing the dark fantasy worlds they've created in previous videos in favor of good old-fashioned realism: the blood, sweat and tears that not only took them to the top, but have fueled their current comeback, too. Which is why, no matter how hot it got, or how many takes Avis shot, the band kept answering the bell, thrashing and wailing onstage, with Lee throwing herself into the outstretched hands of their fans, some of whom had waited nearly 10 hours just to be included in the video. It seems that, for pretty much everyone involved, "What You Want" was more than just another music video. It was a labor of love.

EDIT:
Kind of reminds me of "Going Under," the concert part, anyway.
