Lacey Sturm Performing All Around Me (Flyleaf) LIVE Simpsonville SC

Lacey Sturm formerly of Flyleaf performing All Around Me LIVE in Simpsonville SC on the Breaking Benjamin tour with Seether and Starset.
Lacey shares testimony and story behind All Around Me.

[@vasocreta]

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.

[@DraQinn]

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.

[@kayakuprising5914]

This performance had soooo much more emotion than the studio version, and I love the studio version :)

[@feridedogan7653]

For me the flyleaf Songs dont work well in the Studio. They use too much Effects on her vocals

[@jlpate7168]

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

[@Sabrason]

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.

[@junglequeen7386]

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]

@@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.

[@junglequeen7386]

@@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. =*)

[@kaiyathepapaya]

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.

[@Bethanywi]

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.

[@djhowell5273]

Hang in there. You are loved and you will be okay. And know that its okay to not feel okay.

[@cwagz1982]

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.

[@nicholasjarvis3260]

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

[@lilgem250]

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!

[@PrickedByThorns]

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.

[@lilgem250]

@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.

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.
