3 The Reason I Left Flyleaf 

And that her mom decided to left a group that millions of people loved for him

koraakora AWWW That's true!

As a non-native english speaker it's truly hard for me to get all the message she tried to give. Plus, why can't I dream Lacey as a respectable singer, mother and human ? I bet I can imagine Lacey as her songs describe her in my mind. Is it a sin to believe she is also human ?

Life would be great

Brad Woods Perhaps u didn't listen to her confession very carefully she said 'after making the momento mori album it taught her to realize how short life is...and when there audio producer died and it weighed heavily on her heart she looked at her son and remembered how is she gonna spend it with him or even if that 1 minute could be the last for her son'. Now let me ask you how can she look at her son if she was pregnant? Let me help you its bec her son was born when she looked at him not when she was pregnant. You got your shit all wrong man.

Are you Feminist?

To be fair, her singing voice is also pretty soft a lot of the time. She just has more than one gear. Just listen to "All Around Me", for example. The chorus is pretty powerful but the verses are quite soft and don't sound remotely surprising compared to her speaking voice.

It’s also from vocal damage. Lacey had to do vocal therapy at one point in her career, irregardless she’s an angel :)

Kasey Christian ASMR?

+Kirby She is actually

***** yeah ok troll

***** yea ok

+Lol U need to learn how to keep ur damn mouth shut and stop being an *** get off the damn internet and stay off of it if u cant keep ur damned ugly mouth shut

RU-vid Guy of course she is from Texas!

Agreed

Children now 🥺❤️

@@Annagore1 she's back with them now

I couldn't agree more. It adds a lot of respect to know that some one gave of something for an honorable reason like giving back to her child. :)

It's inspiring, too, I think. When I first became a Flyleaf fan around fifteen, and I found out they were Christian, I thought her life was this perfect gift from God because she was in this awesome band, getting popular, having success by the world's standards, all that. But, when she left, I think she proved that she has her own version of success in life - a set of priorities that I hadn't considered in my own life. I don't have a kid or anything, but I can get caught up in myself and my own life, and hearing why she left made me think about what kind of daughter I was being, what kind of sister, girlfriend, it made me think about what good I was doing for the people around me, and it made me want to try a little harder for them.

Tracey Stanford that was an awesome response. It was really mature to look around at your life and what kind of person you were being and trying harder for the ones that you love. I'm an old mom, lol.... but I really respected what you wrote. I was affected by artists and music when I was your age. Music is like therapy. It can really help center you and make you re examine your life and dreams. Take care!

Tracey Stanford that is so awesome! i love that Lacey is still inspiring people even though she is no longer with the band. God bless her and you as well. ;)

jaylecia davila i agreed 100%!

Hmm... You know, that wild 'mane' of hers... I could just Google it- but is she a Leo? Edit: Just checked, but nope- just past the mark. But that could mean she was in a previous life or something. That'd make that "duality" of her singing voices really make sense too. I wish more bands did official covers of "I'm So Sick" though. I saw a tribute band that played it out really well- but why not a rendition for another popular band? Idk, enough waffling. Lol

Damn good comparison!

Best comment ever

@@SacredMilkOG astrology isn't real.

@@churrgee3675 yeah cool did I ask you what you believe?

Haha, nice. I have the exact same song (I'm So Sick) open in another tab. I thought the same thing about her voice and was about to comment that.

@baretta369 wth?

@baretta369 Just see her "live acoustic rolling stones" on utube

baretta369 Says the Cher fan😆

She does that when she plays live shows. When she would stop to speak to the audience, she sounded like a completely different person.

That's how God is, so soft, yet so strong.

Right?! Amazing!!!

For real

So true. They need to understand that everyone is different. No need to argue about that. Everyone just enjoy the music Christian or not

You have such a caring heart! God loves you, Jesus thinks your incredible

I never understood the "need" to argue or debate about religion, for it's a personal belief, not science. Another thing I noticed is 99% of the people that start the arguments are internet "atheists", but they really just hate God, but won't admit to it. They call us delusional, narrow minded, etc...and I simply say back: "You reject any and all ideas about God on a whim, with no "critical" thinking or an open mind. That's being narrow minded. But believe anything Dawkins or Hitches says without question." It stumps them. They come back with "u hve no prufs 4 gawd" "I don't need to prove anything to you but google "Dead Sea Scrolls", Roman documents on Jesus Christus, diary entries of Piliate and Nero...etc" And the personal attacks and atheist tantrum continues and I hit "block". I have people I can talk to and possibly have someone saved by the salvation of Jesus.

Agreed! All except the religion part. True Christianity isn't a religion, It's a relationship with Christ. Religion is man made lies used to keep evil people in power. A relationship with Christ (the one who made us) is beautiful and real. Until people realize this they will continue to be lost. I'm not singling you out, Jocelyn. I'm just ranting about people/God in general.

***** yes.. Many people don't understand that what we do isn't because of religion.. Its because we have a relationship with God. But soon they'll understand ☺

ahh your right

I agree with you. alot of musicians keep doing there music but her choice was the best. flyleaf is still amazing and even though it was short I'm glad I was still around to hear them.

I can't have babies I have an illness of my uterus that would kill me and any potential baby inside. I wanted a big family but even if I had just one I wouldn't leave my kid for the sake of a band my kid would be first even the kittens I got as a teen I spent so much time taking care of them and if they didn't die a few years ago they would still be so important to me People who make jokes at Lacey Sturms expense are so ignorant. I wanted to adopt kids but my own life path gas included a lot of beer death illness plus with my brain damage and sexual abuse traumas I probably couldn't get anyone to let me adopt. So I will never have a family and some day it stinks I want to cry and other days I am thankful I don't have to fear how they will be safe in this crazy modern world I think if I had a family now I'd be more concerned giving them a healthy safe environment instead of leaving them alone constantly to live my life rocker life. God bless her and her family some of her must was my only companion as I was struggling to get past about her bout if this diseases except the most recent episode turned into over a month clinging to live in the ICU so I will be thankful for her music but never would I expect her to choice her band. The core of her music is the same whether it's from a studio a closer to her house or on the road the music doesn't change the powerful music she writes

or bc she tried to pray the gay away

Very true. You make an excellent point. I can always respect and embrace that wonderful feeling. What a perspective!

Yes her last name was Mosley prior

You weren't?

Do you see this? ---->👨‍💼 that's my right shoulder. You lay your head right there and cry babydoll. ❤

@@JasonRyanWilson Seriously?

I was this whole video this woman is amazing. Not many woman like her in this world anymore

BárbarA🥰

Biggest bullshit story I’d ever heard.

People must not like telling you stories if this is the biggest BS story you've ever heard. What a sad statement/admission about your obviously very very limited life experience. Try being less of a wank, and maybe you won't feel like lashing out at strangers on the internet as much anymore.

@@soonermagic24 How so? I was also in a band in the same rough timeframe (not as big as Flyleaf but well known locally) and we hung out with random fans as much as we did guys in other bands. There is a lot of "hurry up and wait" as well as boredom involved in such a lifestyle, and musicians are people like everyone else. The vast majority are not wealthy and "Hollywood" as some might imagine.

@@jbm0866 second biggest bullshit story

@@soonermagic24 Lol ok, like your name?😂

***** Same thing with Lacey she also screams to express herself in her songs

Now you know that she has skills

Don't belittle a seed planted . . . you may never see how that tiny thing may bear fruit years later. There is no such thing as an atheist. There is only someone not ready to ask that question, because the answer will bring them to a decision on what to do with it.

you believe that life could come from non-life naturally? That is required for naturalism, even though science has disproved it/abiogenesis. You believe that the universe could come from nothing naturally? And that it was lucky enough to form complex beings? Think about it.

This thread is the epitome of religion. The person simply stated that they loved the singer and, on a side note, happened to be an atheist, and multiple people came to harass and ridicule them for it. Wasn't "love they neighbor" part of your shitty book?

Wow really

how ironic. you're an atheist and you're last name is "santos" means "saint"

lol

Lmao

It pretty much is lmao

she would have an awesome asmr channel if she did.

yes it is stupid its the original singer that was with em 10 yrs from the start.the one u see today is only been with for a few yrs.and its as good

same....

This comment is so true

God thinks ya'll are wonderful. Just wanna let you know that Jesus loves you

BRUH ...

Quinise Jackson GURL ...

Oh stfu up dude. Atheists don't ban gay people from getting married, deny women their right to decide what to do with their own body, start wars over bullshit or try and pass laws to force their beliefs on anyone else. When religious people stop doing that evil shit, then we'll shut up

Kevin4444D "Christians" don't pass legislature, Lawmakers do. Legislature usually Is based on popular vote, When gay marriage or abortion Is banned It's not because some Christians decided to ban It...It's because the majority of the people In a particular state voted to ban It. A whole lot more people than just Christians vote.

And the lawmakers who pass these ridiculous laws are....??? That's right. Conservative christians.

TabiKat Tingles Liberals who reject natural law and nature's God fear what they can't possibly understand so they spread the hysteria that Christians are going to take over the country and create a theocracy. That is not what Christians want and never was but you wouldn't know that because your too busy tearing down the worldview that gave you freedom and liberty in the first place. Now that is what I call stupidity.

And news flash, we are not afraid of God. It's hard to be afraid of something that very likely was invented by a weak minded individual like yourself so you can have some sort of meaning for your sad twisted little life. I rely on truth and logic, and that's all I need to live a happy fulfilling life. So...sorry.

I know! I just watched one of her concerts and her speech made me break into tears!

Welcome ❤️

MustObeyTheRules agreed brother

@@Mefistofeles1996 So is yours

It’s nice

Jasmin Nieves no one has touched me like Donald Trump. I asked god why he let this happen but he never answered.

It’s interesting that many folk mentioned they are non-believers. I don’t really listen to this genre of music. Growing up around gangster rap. I never see comments in a Interview with a gangster rapper saying “I don’t believe In selling drugs and thug life, but I do respect the artistry” 😂

+MadaoLEM If Wayne Static had a kid, that would be badass.

Amy Kilbride This is a video about someone professing religion. What the fuck did you expect?

jimlovesgina Um, maybe respect from both parties? Like, people behaving like human beings who are trying to understand each other instead of trying to break each other down?

+jimlovesgina more respect how bout that stupid fuck

+Amy Kilbride Nothing better to do? It's a pretty important topic. It absolutely is worth talking about. Otherwise you just bury your head in the sand and don't learn anything.

Its not about your opinion of 'not having anything better to do'. Its about questioning the reason behind it; the why you have to believe in the first place.

Awesome! God bless man!

Thanks brian

why? like, why do you have to be christian to believe in God? Why do you have to be baptized in an institution and not through...like....living? its confusing. and wtf shes christian????

Yeah she is.

You dont have to be baptized, its more of a public display of faith. You make a great point that a christian should show they are christian by how the live. Jesus said he is the way to the Father (God), you can believe in God or Gods without being christian, but faith in Jesus has proved existence of a One True God for the last 2000 years, with healing miracles, excorsims etc. God loves you so much :)

Beauty Effulgent True. I'm an atheist but I don't go around arguing with religious people. I just sit back and watch everyone else argue :D

MrFredstt Cheers dude :D

You just argued about not arguing. :-P joking :-P Sorry, couldn't resist. LOL

Beauty Effulgent I don't enjoy the maliciousness of man.

+Beauty Effulgent the only reason I read your comment was because of the *eats popcorn*

I don't think it will, honestly. You can't replace a lead singer without a lot of backlash. Lacey brought something special and personal to Flyleaf when she was the lead singer, to me.

i understand that and yes lacey did leave that imprint special mark on certain people...so i do understand the backlash but at same time it sometimes gets too carried away, i still support flyleaf both old and new and of course im gonna support lacey's new solo career as well

Those are two very separate thoughts. I have no problem with Lacey leaving for the reasons she did. However, she had an incredibly unique voice, and her passion was unmistakable. While I fully admit my experiences with the new singer are through camera phone videos on youtube and my jury is still out, she seems to have something of an average, generic voice. I can't help but feel that she's stepping into shoes she can't quite fill out, and if that's the case, fans feeling upset about a downgrade in their band isn't unreasonable.

My sister was a good friend of Rich, her soundman that passed. He was still quite young with a very young child. It was a single car accident and I think his vehicle ended up upside down in a river. Terrible. They released a video, maybe their last single before she left, that had a picture of Rich (& pics of others) in the video.

Love AndBeautyxo As soon as you provide evidence that your god exists, I would be happy to believe. Aaaand go!

jimlovesgina When did she say she wanted you to believe anything?

jimlovesgina When did I say I was religious? When did I express any beliefs? Again she never said you had to believe or even asked you to believe. She was encouraging there's a difference you're just filled with so much illogical hate you're blinded into thinking she cares what you believe in any way.

jaxsonlee10 I believe this, YOU SHOULD TOO, is someone telling another to believe as they do. You are a fucking idiot.

jimlovesgina no it's not!

Amen all ourselves start to non- believers but then they will discover God is so okay some don't believe people understand that.

Yeah my parents are catholic but they don't care if I have a different religion

That's great

+Gabby Garcia It's not that they're not nice people or bad by their nature... it's that... in order to believe in an intergalactic space monster named Yahweh, and be engaged in, and, be a part of, one of his cults(Judaism, Christianity, Islam), you must, by necessity, be divorced from your critical thinking skills. It's impossible to be a conscious person engaged in reality and believe the most blatant non sense, based on literally zero evidence, ever conceived of by man. Which, in and of itself... is fine... but the problem is... we live in a society... and these people who are now functionally mentally impaired get to vote... and make social decisions in communities that affect everyone based on a fundamentally flawed set of beliefs. At the end of the day beliefs matter, and bad or wrong ones, especially ones that are bald faced lies, not AT ALL based in fact, like ALL religions, are dangerous in many ways, from the minute to the extreme.

+Tetrahedragon2 But if you believe that we came from apes and that a POSSIBLE scientific theory could be that Earth came from NOTHING, you suddenly think you're above everyone that believes in some type of religion. It takes quite a bit of faith to believe in the Big Bang, Darwinism, etc. when you have no solid proof that any of those things are concrete 100% fact. Listen bro, I'm not trying to be hostile but I truly believe that even scientists walk by faith and not by sight in their own beliefs about how the world came to be and how it changed over the course of time. If someone is religious, it does not mean, AT ALL, that they are divorced from their critical thinking skills. I encourage you to watch or listen to Ravi Zacharias, I think he has a pretty good argument for your belief. Check out "Science Evolution Ravi Zacharias and not Richard Dawkins" (Weird title, I know) or my favorite "The Incoherence of Atheism Ravi Zacharias". Please please please check em out man. Much love

+hustinjue the theory of evolution doesn't teach that we came from apes, it shows that Homo sapiens and apes share a common ancestor. Why are people always getting this wrong, did they not pay attention in life science class? The evolution of the earth and the universe at large as shown in our history model is just that, a model. It is a work in progress, and the evidence to support the logistics of said model is massively abundant and overwhelming at times. I agree that belief in our current "working model" of history requires faith. Any explanation for reality does. However, there is clear evidence everywhere we look that substantiates a faith in things like gravity, time, electrons, cellular mitosis, natural selection, etc. while at the same time there is zero evidence that Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or Leprechans are real.

Seriously.

nah it's different doing something for your self as oppose to with a band. In a band you are part of a machine. Every part is depended of each other. When doing a solo thing is your own thing you can quit or go on when you feel like it.

As a solo artist, she has more control over everything. And her band includes her husband. She also brings her son with them, so there is no missed time with him by being on the road.

+Daniel Flores I was thinking that, too; as I clearly remember her saying she was done with music and touring, and was going to devote the rest of her life to her family. We all change our minds, that's cool. But, touring is touring as a musician/artist; band or solo. I don't know...it's weird. As long as she's happy, that's great.

***** I think people also forget that once some one has tasted a type of life style they wont settle for less. The type of life style that artist have is unbelievable. There is no way they would make as much money to maintain their lifestyle being normal and doing normal things.

+Monika Lopez that's like never seeing Static-X with Wayne dying.

Jenic Darling There is this thing called reality. You either reside in it or you don't. When someone makes an extraordinary claim, like god or gods exist, and provide nothing but their words as evidence, people who reside in reality tend to ask for a bit more evidence in order to be convinced. I don't care what you believe but when you come out here to a public forum and announce to everyone that you believe faeries exist and provide no evidence, then you deserve to be ridiculed. Claiming that a god or gods exist and providing absolutely no evidence other than personal experience, visions and good feelings is much the same and should only be tolerated to a point, as people who make these claims are clearly insane. At the most, you people should be pitied and at the worst, you should be locked up to prevent damage to yourselves and others.

jimlovesgina you must have really believed at some point to hate christian's this much. Pitied and locked up? Nice.

Where did I mention "christians," dumbass? I did mention christians in another thread, but not this one. Maybe you commented under the wrong thread?

no, i think you need to check your self.

OK, I checked. I never mentioned christians specifically in this thread. You are obviously an idiot.
