3 years ago, at 22 years old i almost took my own life. I was abused as a kid, broken, depressed, anorexic, bulimic, suicidal. I went in & out of psych units like it was a game of tic-tac-toe. Suicide watch. I was on enough Antidepressants to kill a horse. I hated myself. I wanted out. I wanted the pain to stop. The gaslighting* to end. *(when a psycho makes a sane person question their own sanity, and thus think they themselves are the insane one). I wanted power. I got into witchcraft. I thought it would give me the identity i wanted, to be set apart from people who hurt me. It only made me sicker. Sicker. Thats what it did to me. The doctor said id never get well. That i would suffer severe Chronic Manic depression, and never be well, that id be stuck on antidepressants all of my life. I would plot suicide on a daily basis, binging and purging my food as often as opening and closing a door. The pain was too real. People choked me. Assaulted me. Told me i was ugly, i felt worthless. Nothing ever got better. Then my mother died. The (1) & only soul who ever loved /emotionally supported me was removed from the earth. I was stuck living with people who broke me, ruined my identity, thus causing me to hate God. I thought God hated me, that he was just like the ones who tortured me, a family of abusers, who cover up all their actions with the mask of religion. I didnt know that God is on my side. I didnt know that Jesus would Love and Defend me, and fight for me and that He later would heal me, rescue me from Family. The ones who caused me pain. The ones who choked me for wearing a necklace. I moved out after family threatened to throw all my belongings on the front yard, and have me permanently institutionalized in an insane asylum, when they were the ones who caused my mental illness via abuse. They blamed me for the abuse they did to me. To take my life in an insane asylum when they were the ones who made me suicidal. Next morning i spoke with my dead moms parents who let me live with them. I stayed on the antidepressants, prescribed. But they only made me sicker. I got deeper and deeper into witchcraft, thinking it was a solution. But it made me even more suicidal. Self hatred was inescapable. I decided i was going to kill myself. I was going to take all my pills. But then Jesus stepped in. I didnt die. I surrendered my life to Jesus to make me well and heal me. The deity i blamed for me being abused wanted to heal me. He Was fighting for me and Loved me all along. He wanted to love me. He wanted to give me His Heart. HE LOVES ME. JESUS. LOVES. ME . Jesus is my God, and i am his-forever 🔥❤️ Jesus miraculously healed me - i am off all drugs and dont need them and i dont have any mental illnesses. I am totally healed , full of joy. I’m now a born again Christian, who wants the entire world to know that JESUS WANTS TO HEAL YOU HE. LOVES. YOU. Nuff said.
Well I agree banning trench coats are stupid as fuck but banning guns is pretty close. There will always be illegal guns used by criminals who intend to do harm. I would much rather have a gun in my home to protect my family with. My ex husband was severely abusive. He was 45 when he found me and i was only 17.... He subjected me to a life akin to that of the sex trade and when I finally escaped he told me he would find me, kill my children my family and himself. Luckily he died before that threat could be carried out but let me tell you something... He would have if he could have. I kept a gun for a reason and still do Anyone intending on doing harm to me or my family will not do so and make it out alive. Hell... They wont even TRY and make it out alive.
I saw her live a long time ago when their 1dt album came out. I was in high school. Feels like forever ago now lol. But anyway she put on a pretty great show.
I know this is 6 months later, but she's always been hit and miss live. Never got the chance to see Flyleaf. After watching quite a few live videos, yeahhh. Sometimes she nails it, sometimes she don't.
She has a lot of vibrato, which can be both a strength and a weakness... Also, i have yet to hear a singer who uses the art of screaming and retains their range... Phil Anselmo sounds like a train wreck....
Some of you in the comments are pitifully spoiled. I'd like you to see you be successful and talented as her but you never will be you'll just continue to be rotten ingrates casting judgment on something you know nothing about
So wait... She quit Flyleaf... Then started a solo project.... And is playing Flyleaf songs??? That's so fucked up. Rejoin the band already. Wanted to be home with your family so u quit your band but now have a solo project that keeps you back on the road. Not fair to Flyleaf. You should have rejoined the band instead of doing a "solo" project with hired musicians and now singing old Flyleaf songs. Makes you sound like a Flyleaf cover band even tho you were the original lead singer...
Peter furler is no longer with newsboys and has a solo career and still plays newsboys songs at concerts...ones from their earlier days but still newsboys songs
Anyone saying jive about her vocals, post You singing live after six or more months of touring, then I might give a piss about your unfounded comments!
Been checking out live footage since I never got to see Flyleaf. Holy jeez, man. She's pretty hit and miss with her vocals live. She nails it in some of the videos I've seen. This one, along with a few others, not so much.
this is why the original song should play in the background, if your voice is enhanced the actual thing will never sound the same as the one everyone knows
That's nonsense. The original song was recorded in her prime, like waaaay back. Now she's not only older (age affects one's voice quality) but also she screamed improperly for a long time which also damaged her voice to some extent. It's not even possible for her to perform this song just like the original. (Maybe you won't see this response, but others may learn from it. Peace.)
