FIRST TIME Reaction To Flyleaf - All Around Me

[@amberaizen]

This is one of my all time fav songs, it’s SOO GOOD. Her voice is also just amazing

[@shadowfragment]

I'm not religious, but as someone who has dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts this song really speaks to me.

[@sevyreyna3623]

They are a religious band. Christian band to be more accurate. But they are not a Christian band where they are trying to convert, if that makes sense. Actually a lot of "Emo" bands are also Christian af!

[@shadowfragment]

@@sevyreyna3623 I'm aware, I've been a fan of the band since it came out. I mentioned it because I used to be Christian, and a lot of music about god/faith doesn't really gel with me anymore. I don't care about religion so stuff that's pro or anti faith doesn't usually interest me. It ends up feeling awkward or cliche,. But this song hits on such a genuine, emotional level that I love it because it's about faith, rather than loving it in spite of it being about faith. Lacey is one of the only people I enjoy listening to sing about faith. Something about the way she expresses it makes it a more positive experience. Like I said, there's an authenticity and a lack of ego, in a way that very few people ever reach.

[@benjaminhaynes4844]

It's good you hear this. Maybe the rest lies without religion.

[@larrytowe6672]

​@@sevyreyna3623well if you're not trying to convert somebody and tell them about Jesus, your not a Christian

[@DestructoDisk]

You might want to try God. Might make you less self hating.

[@Groovy-z3x]

I like the part where she sings, "my tongue dances behind my lips for you." She's referring to speaking in tongues. When I saw this band live in about 2008 with other Christian musical acts, by the time they came on stage I got closer to the stage and while I was in the crowd, I could feel the Holy Spirit around me and the love. I didn't want it to end.

[@justjsse8917]

I saw them in 2007 08 ish as well. Special experience

[@justinkase1360]

How do you know?

[@micktrinus]

Yes, this song is about meating God. Lacey was feeling suicidal as a teen and ended up in a church speaking with a man there. She felt like God was talking to her, she goes into a bit more detail in her book.

[@derekskees6256]

I've always thought it was paint coming down the wall. Lots of different colored paint. Lacey Sturm is a phenomenal artist. Her vocals and writing talent are tip top. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Spedly]

it is paint

[@panhead687]

Tis

[@Groovy-z3x]

I think the red paint is symbolic because we're washed clean by the blood of Jesus Christ.

[@bridgette9739]

It is.. it's suppose to symbolize the blood of Christ

[@johnschaffer6968]

Yes, it's about God. They're a Christian rock band. She is a solo artist now, Lacey Sturm

[@dustychapman9350]

Wish they’d get back together.

[@TripleFourSC]

@@dustychapman9350 It's like Jody Scott and Saliva. He left to pursue a christian lifestyle and we want him back so bad it hurts. Same with Austin Carlyle from Of Mice & Men.

[@johnschaffer6968]

@@TripleFourSC Austin had some health issues with his throat too

[@hepunk]

@@dustychapman9350 honestly a lot of Lacey Sturm's solo stuff has Flyleaf vibes anyway

[@cameronmackenzie338]

Lacey just returned to Flyleaf last week in both their social media accounts

[@emzy-hybridtheory]

Here are a couple suggestions for some songs…. Fully Alive By: Flyleaf So sick By: Flyleaf Time And Time Again By: Papa Roach Blood (Empty Promises) By: Papa Roach A Grave Mistake By: Ice Nine Kills

[@Theorangecrushgamer]

I saw them live in 2009 in Seattle, I was 10 feet away from her, and there was 4 other people there. Then saw them 5hrs later at the full show. She's literally 4ft11. she's the sweetest. Got some pictures with her.

[@Tomcat088]

You got it right away. There are some different opinions on what the blood coming down the walls is for. Some people say that it is a sign sacrifice on the cross. Many others believe that this song is about when she tried to take her own life and encountered God for the first time, and the blood is symbolic of her, as she was dying. It is interesting that the chorus is completely made from parts of different Bible verses. “I can feel you all around” psalm 139:5 “Thickening the air I’m breathing“ 1 Kings 8:10-12 “Holding on to what I am feeling” Psalm 91:14-16 “Savoring this heart that’s healing” Psalm 147:3 Not all of their songs are about Christian, and some of them are about some of the band member’s struggles. I was a fan from the moment I heard. Great reaction!!

[@hiddenflower862]

Thank You for the reaction! I love FlyLeaf. They were Christian but had a lot of none Christian and atheist fans! Could you checkout more? I'm so sick- Flyleaf

[@willvr4]

I'm one of those non-christian fans. Idk what happened to them but I haven't heard them in ages.

[@TheNraveles]

@@willvr4 agreed. I’m a non Christian but fuck man this song is gorgeous. Absolutely stunning

[@willvr4]

@@TheNraveles Her voice is angelic.

[@travengreenzweig7246]

I hope there's a ton of comments mentioning how AMAZING the acoustic version is.

[@Westcloxam]

I'm so sick is another good one

[@jonfazzone5125]

Great Song. Lacey Sturm has a Great Voice. Flyleaf’s 1st Two Albums are Absolutely Amazing. Wait til you Hear Lacey sing the Song “I’m So Sick”. When that Video was on MTV it Blew Minds all over the World. You will Absolutely Love It

[@jebus7679]

Flyleaf is so damn good. You should 100% look into more of their music. The lead singer, Lacy Sturm, now does solo stuff. I really like their song Sorrow.

[@annikalangva3434]

Lacey Sturm from Flyleaf is a guest artist on Love And Deaths song/cover Let Me Love You. It's AWESOME🤩

[@codyb6849]

You should do fully alive by them I’m so sick again sorrow missing calling you out should check them out too Ellierose yeah they was a Christian band

[@papahgula7783]

Arise, circle, and supernatural

[@josiahbock2940]

Don't forget chasm

[@lasagnasux4934]

Lacey's solo stuff is dope as well. I absolutely love The Soldier.

[@ballerbuddy8149]

Plz use at least one comma next time

[@sergiosouza7523]

I love this band

[@jplayer7jonny410]

Poxa, eu tbm curto pra caramba essa banda. Bom na vdd a cantora msm.

[@sergiosouza7523]

@@jplayer7jonny410 🤘🤘

[@leonardvandergriff6241]

Every album from flyleaf is amazing you will never hear a bad song from them. And lacey sturm is solo career is amazing music also.

[@mythoceanas8874]

Even the Kristen May album was really good, even though Lacey left the band on good terms. A lot of fans were very bias against May at the time because they felt Lacey was forced out. Magnetic, Set Me on Fire and Again are all really good songs from the Kristen May album.

[@plunk9275]

I believe the song is about her seeing god during the moment she was about to end herself. Thank god she didnt, freaking love her work with this band

[@Jan-is4jy]

If you like her voice, I can highly recommend the version of Dear Agony Breaking Benjamin did with her!

[@willvr4]

Or Paramore

[@PASHINNSOUNDS]

the algorithm did this video dirty 😢

[@EllieroseReacts]

RIGHT😭😂

[@dyllindamm7931]

Fun fact flyleaf is a Christian rock group also they did a really good song collaboration with breaking benjamin called dear agony

[@hunterwise5156]

Omg yes you need to check out their music. I'm So Sick

[@Cairovalerius]

I would love for you to react to Cassie(spelling?) by them. It’s an incredibly beautiful song by them. Tragic AF, but so so beautiful. Loved the reaction! I saw them live years ago and they are even more amazing live. She’s tiny but powerful!

[@Californiagirl824]

I’m not religious, but this song has always stuck with me

[@joeldykman7591]

I believe flyleaf is a Christian band, but focus on religious allegory so the themes are there if you search for them, but are also up for a more secular interpretation.

[@MissMal92]

*It wasn't [supposed to be] blood. If you notice, there's all colors of paint running down the walls. The red is pink... No blood- just paint. Good guess on the message!*

[@coopsnz1]

Dream state- in this hell

[@kayakuprising5914]

MORE LACEY!

[@joeyborchert4866]

try: fire fire by flyleaf (album version not live)

[@AceofSarcasm]

idk why your video got supressed so hard... it's pretty disappointing because I imagine a lot of people would like to see this reaction if it would get shown to them. Either way I think their most popular song is probably 'I'm so sick' I would love to see your reaction to that. It's a significantly different vibe to this song that might make you be able to draw that connection to the slipknot fans a little more lol. Also there's no blood in that one, so maybe it won't be crushed by the system so hard?

[@yaboyblacklist2431]

To answer your question: yes. It is about her finding religion.

[@TheKcXiV]

its not about finding religion, its about her finding god/jesus. I dont do organized religion myelf, but im a beleiver.

[@intosilence1773]

Reaction starts 0:53

[@rachelwilson86]

The song is about her encounter with God on the day that she was planning to commit suicide.

[@christopherscaletta]

It's paint, as in "painting my life"

[@jon-yj5jg]

You should check out Gemini syndrome and black briar and for TV shows should check out teen wolf and movies you should watch the underworld series

[@jplayer7jonny410]

Hey! I really liked your reaction! I would suggest you to check up their song “Call You Out”. It’s a banger.

[@zestygamer3yt540]

React to I’m so sick from this group next.

[@davidyarbrough2197]

Yes it's about God. This was one of the first Christian bands that made it to main stream.

[@iser33]

If you’re interested in going down the Christian rock band route. Maybe look at skillet. Awake and alive is a good one to start with.

[@Austin349Ta]

A lot of people don't know this. But she is talking about god

[@boneless9305]

I've always described the meaning of this song as being horny for god... But it's written in a way that you can easily interpret it about a person you have crush on or something

[@itachiuchiha6604]

I think she wrote this song after a failed suicide attempt if I recall and felt God's presence all around her or something like that I could be very wrong but I think that was the inspiration to this song

[@MrJackLord]

You should check out Arise by Flyleaf.

[@shawneldridge4465]

Please do a reaction to Eddie Murphy I was a king, trust me Eddie Murphy can sing when he wants too. I think you'll like that song if you're into music like that.

[@DjLivingston45]

You should give flyleaf song called so I thought it’s so good you’d like it

[@honeyandlavender_]

She had an encounter with God the night she was gonna commit suicide. She was an atheist that hated God and anything christian related. She’s still a follower of Christ.

[@danielwarren1290]

Yes it is. There a Christian Rock band

[@lazyblazer]

FULLY ALIVE NEXT

[@jrgarza1964]

Fully Alive is another good one..

[@jseedoubleu]

Never knew they were a christian band

[@reshopheda4616]

Can you react to the cover from Halocene for this Song... for me its a little bit better than the original

[@sammurphy3343]

Yes they're a Christian rock band.

[@yackemup]

Christian rock band. In ither songs she does screams you'd be like wtf coming from that little lady lol

[@colinfraser7150]

It's like subversive christian rock.

Without the blood of Jesus, we have no forgiveness of our wins.
