I was released from prison in 2018.. When I got back to what was left of my life, I had to pick up the pieces of what was left and these versions of their songs was my single most valuable anchor... I listened to them every day and stayed focused on what I had to do for the first time in my life, breaking my curse of recidivism... I am now for the first time in my adult life free of any kind of warrants, parole or anything like that and not mention I have been able to maintain my sobriety... For some reason one day I just stop listening to it. This is my first time back to hear it and I am just so grateful for the blessing of her beautiful voice in these absolutely intoxicating songs. They were like manna from God, that fed and nurtured my spirit and soul while I was growing into my new life and way of living and thinking... So, thank you Lord, for Lacey Sturm's incredible love for you that very obviously grew into these wonderful and life changing songs...
God bless you brother, I'm glad your out and sober. Been in the system myself and a ex addict I'm 6 years clean of heroin, God is great and the only answer. Hope this comment still stands true today. God bless you.
Congrats Brother, I got out in 2020..beginning of the pandemic. God also delivered me from heroin. Now I'm drug free , but still so angry..don't know why, but I'm sure He'll lead me through that as well. Stay plugged in. Romans 8:28
Thank you, to you all alike. I may have stumbled in my path in the last 8 months. But extenuating circumstances were at play. However, I still take full responsibility... Hope this finds you well and of good health, sound of mind and body. Still or have begun living a life you love and aren't ashamed of. The only weakness to the darkness in light. Therefore, why else would darkness solely hide from the light but if not to shield itself from the light or be exposed. Find your strength in Psalms 27, but remember that faith without works is most certainly dead. "They didn't love their life so much as to shrink from death. Inspired by their foot steps we will march ahead. Don't be shocked that people die. Be surprised that you're still alive." ~Lacey Strum~ Sincerely, JKB
it was the GREATEST!!! for me but i just headbanged the whole way...lol i was star strucked when she looked at me lol i still wonder if they smelled weed lol i'd hurried to smoke a 2 paper joint and put it in my shirt pocket lol i was to scared to smoke the flyleaf joint i'd rolled for the concert it wasn't big enough to blend in with everyone. lol just the day before memento mori came out
Jonathan Reich Really? I've seen em 6-7 times...Im from Temple and man...this band's done alot of shows in the temple/belton area...shit ton...they're sick as fuck live...I saw em do an acoustic set at the Temple Bloomin Fest b/c of rain...it was sick as shit
thats fucking cool i wish i was there to check out those music scenes that got them into live concerts i mean KoRn got me heavily into rock but Flyleaf and Lacey just knows the right stuff...hehehe i love lacey's new stuff living the impossible, live forever
This was one of my daughters favorite bands! Kristi would listen to them constantly. Now that she’s passed, I can’t help but be flooded with so many memories and mixed emotions when I listen to them. From pure joy to hollow sadness. And every emotion in between. The beauty and pain of Flyleafs lyrics seem more relevant now. Pops loves you sweet baby…endlessly!
I grew up MORMON and it CRUSHED me! Then A Christian at work gave me a 30-day Journal of Christian scripters to read every day that said God was GOOD and LOVING!!! I turned to Christian Music and it talked about this GRACE! I was taught works would save me! NOW I fall to my bloody knees! and Thank HIM
Yeah, I used to listen to the videos of these when they had but posted by someone one song at a time... Then they were just gone and this my first time finding it and it's a complete set... Super stoked too!!
My brother took his life, almost a year ago, we endured enormous pain, the Lord led me out of darkness, pain attempted suicide n addiction, my brother wouldn't follow, There is so much power in her music, so much power in Jesus, HE IS LOVE!!!!!
Yes. I don't have a problem with Kristen May being in Flyleaf, although I definitely prefer Lacey, but what makes me mad is when she tries to do old Flyleaf songs. I see why she would, but it's not right, ya know?
I am saddened by the quality of this video and the amount of views and dislikes. This band is amazing and so was this unplugged. Just another one of those hidden gems that almost no one knows about...
And me, I was searching for acoustic versions of rock songs. This is an unbelievable video but I doubt I would've ever seen it if not looking for strictly acoustic songs
The way she sings the lines "Perfect love kills all fear. Rejoice in this deliverance! They didn't love their life so much as to shrink from death. Inspired by their footsteps we will march ahead. Don't be shocked that people die. Be surprised tha you're still alive!" Moving everytime!!
The lyrics for Cassie- "The question asked in order to save her life or take it The answer 'no', avoiding death and 'yes' would make it 'Do you believe in God?' written on the bullet Say yes to pull the trigger and my sister, Cassie, pulled it They didn't love their lives so much as to shrink from death Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead Don't be shocked that people die Be surprised you're still alive All heads are bowed in silent reverence The floor is wet with tears of sorrowful remembrance The alter's filled with hearts of repentance Perfect love kills all fear Rejoice in this deliverance They didn't love their lives so much as to shrink from death Inspired in their footsteps, we will march ahead Don't be shocked that people die Be surprised you're still alive"
The second verse of "All Around Me" is incredible, "Cassie" is different and beautiful in its own way, and the rest is just stellar. I didn't realize how amazing her voice was before I heard this.
Just my opinion.. there will never be anyone who could take away from Flyleaf or the world what Lacey did for the band. Her sound is unique. I do not like to see others replace her in the band but we all have to move on... would you want Flyleaf to just lay down and die? So, if they must go on, they need a replacement. Will anyone ever replace Lacey? No.. will others sing her songs? Yes... that is just all the more respect for her in that they want to sing what she did... ya know? Just saying. Thank God for Lacey and Flyleaf.. I love them all!!! We got to see them live in Anchorage Alaska.. omg, outside concert.. and it was pouring rain.. a real pain for them.. their equipment got wet.. things went wrong with the electronics but the worked hard and made it through.. LOVE YOU FLYLEAF!
I know, I just kind of want to get the band members together, like, 'You realise she was the reason in its entirety why people listened to you... Right?'
Lacey Sturm is one of the few amazing female artist I like. Not sexist just not a fan of most female artist. However she is an amazingly talented individual. Amazing artist thank you for your music.....
Ive been rocking for 44 years I just heard this voice in the back ground of a movie that was playing it woke me up the girls voice i had to look the song up and find out who this band was with this amazing voice it turned out to be FLYLEAF IM SO SICK. Awesome vocals that girl Lacey can sing it came out way back in 2005 im hearing it for the first time in 2023 I can't believe this
I knew her before her fame she helped my sister Beth in her most darkest time in life well at that time anyways she would take my sister to all their conserts dowm at the park downtown belton i got to go to stay the night with her and my sister and we went to church the next day then i had no clue the wonderfull experience would have such impact on my faith and that i would remember after all this time anyways i dont know witch song was for Beth but its out of one of these my familys name was on the first album my mom said anyways thank you Lord for this and God bless everyone
The lyrics to this version of I'm So Sick- If you want more of this We can push out, sell out, die out So you'll shut up And stay sleeping With my screaming in your itching ears I'm sick, Infected with where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, Selfishness I'm so sick, I'm so sick Hear it, I'm screaming it You're heeding to it now So, hear it, because I'm screaming it! You tremble at this sound You sink into my clothes And this invasion Makes me feel Worthless, hopeless, sick I'm so sick, Infected with where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, Selfishness I'm so, I'm so sick I'm so sick, Infected with where I live Let me live without this Empty bliss, selfishness Let me live, Please Let me live, Love Let them live, Let us..... Love..
Fully Alive Telling Layla's story spoken 'Bout how all her bones are broken Hammers fall on all the pieces Two months in the cover creases Here she stands today In her brilliant shining way Fully alive More than most, ready to smile, and love life Fully alive and she knows How to believe in futures All my complaints shrink to nothing I'm ashamed of all my somethings She's glad for one day of comfort Only because she has suffered Here she stands today In her brilliant shining way Fully alive More than most, ready to smile, and love life Fully alive and she knows How to believe in futures Fully alive More than most, ready to smile, and love life Fully alive and she knows How to believe in futures Fully alive More than most, ready to smile, and love life Fully alive and she knows How to believe in futures
I can't believe that after 13 years since they broke up I will see them live in Sick New World 2023 with Lacy Sturm as lead vocals!!!! Omg I feel like I am living my wildest dreams
I've been listening to you guys for years now - actually I have you guys playing on RU-vid while I writer screenplays - excellent synergy :) - discovering this acoustic set really amped up my enjoyment - props.
