* [[Pachelbels Canon]]: [[The Other Wiki]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilie_Autumn notes] that as a child she would mentally play the piece each night to suppress her auditory hallucinations. The influence of it can be heard in several of her songs: "Save You" contains a few bars of the melody, and the ostinato from the piece is present in "Ancient Grounds" and "Let the Record Show".
