What sets Lacey apart from so many other artists is that she believes so wholeheartedly every word that she is singing. That sincerity is raw and apparent.
She expresses what she feels and and we can tell it's quite heartfelt. That's why any cover of songs like All Around Me will never be powerful, even Kristen May couldn't do this song justice. One has to have suffered great pain and wanted to die and then be relieved of that pain and 180 into finally being able to love life only after being a slave to pain.
Listening to her testimony makes me cry. I remember being in that same moment . I love her voice. She gives me chills all over when I hear her testify to the truth
@@rat_king2801 Thanks for informing me! I did hear they were reuniting, but I thought is was just for a festival in Las Vegas? It'd be awesome if they played more shows, and even more amazing if they planned to release new music!
I was 18 the first time I heard this song. Today I am 30 and I still listen to it and it makes sense... I owe it all to my heavenly father... Thank you for so much Lacey. Gracias desde El Salvador 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💙
i cry because i can relate to her testimony. every time ive pushed away God, i knew i was lying. after so long, i started to live a dark/blind life. knowing exactly how and why i got there. doing the very things i told myself i would never do. drugs, abortion, lying, cheating, stealing, pretty much everything under the sun that could hurt our creator. i could repent for days and still feel like it could never be enough. although in Gods eyes, we are all good enough. Stay Blessed!
@@junglequeen7386 if you're implying that I have a problem with people who have faith then you'd be mistaken. What I am saying is that I feel bad for folks who think so low of themselves and have so little self control that they need to surrender agency over their own lives to a supernatural being.
@@mattliftsandjumps putting my faith in God changed my life. the crap i was doing in rave scenes and dragging other people with me was hurting myself and everyone around me. ive watched my friends get killed and die from drug overdose. the life i was living there was no getting out. giving everything to God and trusting him is what changed my life. take a good look around you. how could anything other than God create a world such as this? the only perfect recipe for the reason we are living is because of God. im not trying to push anything on you. i just think there are no such thing as coincidence. =*)
this performance just changed me. i, too, am 16 and am experiencing the same thing that lacey did. i went through the toughest year of my life and i wanted to die. i felt like everyone was better off without me anyways, so it wouldn’t matter. i was so depressed that i wouldn’t eat, sleep, or just do anything normal. i put on a facade for my friends at school, but i came home and just laid on my floor for hours. i felt like nobody understood or saw me, not my friends, parents, or even God. and im going to be completely honest, i resented God for a very long while. i felt like God left me all by myself and he wasn’t there with me holding my hands. i was raised in a christian household my entire life, so all i’ve been taught was about God. and i felt like with all i went through that what i was taught about God was completely contrary. “i’m alive, i’m alive”. yes, i am alive. and i have been doing so much better. this song made me realize that God was in fact there with me otherwise i wouldn’t be alive. he made me for a reason.
I'm a year younger in you and I was in the same place. When I was 11 I hated myself, I didn't think anyone cared about me and I started to doubt God. I was so suicidal by 12 and I would just cry and cry and write notes to myself on ways to kill myself. I'm not sure why but I gradually started to heal, in a way. I started to go to church every Sunday, before I would skip just because. I read my Bible, I prayed. I changed. I didn't have a single suicidal thought at 14, that was a big step for me. I will be praying for you, God is with you.
It has taken decades to realize God's presence in my life. Looking back I missed so much opportunity to see him and allow him in my life. I'm thankful in my empire of dirt to have Jesus. I'm pray for you and I pray for you to know you are loved, special and have a purpose. I'm a very new christian.
I know right! I love her Collab with out friends Islander, if you haven’t check out “it’s not easy being human” but thanks for checking out our video, please subscribe and click the bell, for more with your favorite artists!
@@SoundlinkTV I’ve only gotten to see her live once, 2005, but she was like this back then too. She’s absolutely amazing. I hope I get to see her sing live again
@@amy109 I hope you get to see her! Here’s all my images from that show of her set. www.soundlinkmagazine.com/gallery-lacey-sturm-live-simpsonville-sc/
Thank you for sharing this. I needed to hear her testimony about this song. I always felt connected to this song( since I was in my 20s ) today at 53 Is the first time I heard Lacey’s testimony. I love God and I know He loves me, but I’m struggling with my bipolar depression so badly- I just don’t know why I’m here anymore. 🙏🏼
Almost 16yrs im 10yrs old that time 1sttime I listen to this song and still now i love this song im 26yrs old and ihave family now this song for me never gets old🖤
Wow one of my favorite songs I never knew she was going to commit suicide & that song was her sharing her encounter with God. No wonder they pushed themselves as a christian band. I'm glad she's able to share this years later this video is about to save so much lives. Peace & love to all who reads this.
She expresses what she feels and and we can tell it's quite heartfelt. That's why any cover of songs like All Around Me will never be powerful, even Kristen May couldn't do this song justice. One has to have suffered great pain and wanted to die and then be relieved of that pain and 180 into finally being able to love life only after being a slave to pain. This recording of this song is my favourite version, I feel her emotions every time and give me a gratitude for being alive and happy.
This means so much, knowing there are passionate hearts on this planet, pulling God's power into our world, combating the efforts of evil to take us down
My best friend who I considered a brother is from this little town Simpsonville,SC. One night after our band played a show (without telling anybody). I never u understood at the time. I lost my best friend and brother that night and felt like I lost everything and felt alone wondering how everything could come to a hault out of nowhere.... years later I realiZe it was selfish of me to not understand that he needed to find himself and who he was as a human. Now that years have gone by, I've seen him 1 time and always wondered if he never moved from Massachusetts back to Simpsonville how my life would've turned out. I was in self destruct mode for along time and never really felt the same again....but anyways, I come here because Laceys songs, and singing makes me feel better and helps me cope knowing there are other people out there who feel the same as I did/do and to always have faith and believe in whatever/whoever that may be . You Never lose faith, it will always be with you ....even when you think it left you like the people in your life can. ♥️ Thank you
I can’t help it but I have a huge crush on her and always have since discovering the band! Not only is she beautiful but her voice, her movements she does like in Flyleaf’s music videos, what a beautiful & amazing women!
Well we got to cover their reunion show at Blue Ridge this past September check out our photos and videos here. www.soundlinkmagazine.com/flyleaf-rock-blue-ridge-rock-festival-2023/
My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips my tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire runs in through my being Burning, I'm not used to seeing you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say, "We are alone with you" I am alone and they are too with you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing And so I cry (holy) The light is white (holy) And I see you I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing Take my hand, I give it to you Now you own me, all I am You said you would never leave me I believe you, I believe I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healed
fucking amazing. I really thought she lost it when she went away from her original style for a while, and I haven't caught up with her music in years, but I see she found her self in the best of ways.
I love Lacey Sturm and her love for God!! And of course I love her unique voice! She did an awesome job but it sounded to me like her voice was straining that night. Unless she was just so overwhelmed with emotion it was just difficult to sing. Either way, she still pulled it off! She is a true professional!
It's been really strained in recent show as well. Crackles. I think she just needs to take care of it properly. Especially if they're going to be doing some touring. Rehearsals aren't going to do much if there's no care in between. It's the most important instrument for a vocalist.
@Horror-Core you are absolutely right! Especially if you are using your voice all the time like she is. And she screams too so I'm sure that has had an effect over the years.
So Carrie underwood came to Greenville the other week and did “How Great thou Art” a friend had a video of it. The lady infront of them was singing at the top of her lungs drunk as a skunk, holding her beer in the air lol. Thanks for watching, please subscribe if you haven’t already. Thanks again.

I've always loved this song, and band, but I never understood it until today. I really wouldn't have understood it 2 years ago. God's presence is profoundly present in Lacey. She was put here for a purpose, and she is following that path of spreading God's love with ZERO question.
@@mitchmiller2613 for some religion is a damn cult , sorry to burst your bubble but you can believe in a higher power and not choose a religion how is your religion that’s not even the oldest one the right one ? Give me a break and if heaven is real if you live a good life and be a good person you should get there
Great voice, I've been where she's been and I get it. I decided to accept nature as it is instead. I found religion specifically Christianity to be hypocrites. Nature is the only thing that exists it takes a lot of honesty from yourself to accept that. But most people rather escape to religion, consumerism or drugs.
If we are not mistakes and are on purpose like she said, cuz obviously god wouldnt choose favorites. What about a boy 6yrs old abducted then tortured and killed? Is he on purpose? If he is, then was it his purpose to suffer terrified? As a believer im just curious.

This performance had soooo much more emotion than the studio version, and I love the studio version :)
For me the flyleaf Songs dont work well in the Studio. They use too much Effects on her vocals
Been a fan for years but, after listening to her testimonial, that first "I'm alive!" brought tears to my eyes....wow. I get it now.
Same!
💜💜💜
She's got such a powerful testimony; appreciate her sharing it!
I miss Flyleaf; their music has been so influential to me!
well i hope you know lacey has rejoined flyleaf and they are going on tour 😁🤘

Gracias desde El Salvador 🇸🇻🇸🇻🇸🇻💙
Same haha glad we made it to 30
More than 10 years later and I still feel goosebumps with this song!
i cry because i can relate to her testimony. every time ive pushed away God, i knew i was lying. after so long, i started to live a dark/blind life. knowing exactly how and why i got there. doing the very things i told myself i would never do. drugs, abortion, lying, cheating, stealing, pretty much everything under the sun that could hurt our creator. i could repent for days and still feel like it could never be enough. although in Gods eyes, we are all good enough. Stay Blessed!
I feel sad that some folks feel the need to have a god to ensure they behave themselves and live a productive and beneficial life.
@@mattliftsandjumps what if you die and everything you was told about god was true. are you ready for judgement day?

That was Awesome. She's still got it. 😃🤩😇
She Rocks
I’m so sad I didn’t see her this year. I hope she goes on tour again.
My hands are searching for you
My arms are outstretched towards you
I feel you on my fingertips
my tongue dances behind my lips for you
This fire runs in through my being
Burning, I'm not used to seeing you
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
My hands float up above me
And you whisper you love me
And I begin to fade
Into our secret place
The music makes me sway
The angels singing say, "We are alone with you"
I am alone and they are too with you
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
And so I cry (holy)
The light is white (holy)
And I see you
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healing
Take my hand, I give it to you
Now you own me, all I am
You said you would never leave me
I believe you, I believe
I can feel you all around me
Thickening the air I'm breathing
Holding on to what I'm feeling
Savoring this heart that's healed

I'm literally just finding out that Flyleaf was a Christian band...
Man, Christian bands from the 2000's made the coolest music.
Im OUT HERE STALKING
😘
Song starts @ 3:50
Now everyone can end the debate about fly leaf being a Christian band or not.
was it ever a debate? i’ve always thought of them as a Christian band
Great voice, I've been where she's been and I get it. I decided to accept nature as it is instead. I found religion specifically Christianity to be hypocrites. Nature is the only thing that exists it takes a lot of honesty from yourself to accept that. But most people rather escape to religion, consumerism or drugs.
🥹😭
Why is it I care more about what she said then the crowd?
Lacy do you feel like working with Strawhorse? You are us... Its so crazy..
