Flyleaf Remains Connected And Motivated Through Scrapbooks
The members of Flyleaf write some emotional tracks that connect with audiences across the country, and they actually have a tangible way of seeing how their music has affected others. Singer Lacey Sturm explains that the webmaster for the fan site Flyleafonline.com makes scrapbooks of material from listeners that show the group how their music is affecting them. Sturm notes that the scrapbooks are very motivating, and adds that looking through them can be a very emotional experience. Guitarist Sameer Bhattacharya says the band keeps the scrapbooks in a safe place so nothing happens to them while on the road. However, some letters get a more prominent display, and are posted on the bulletin board on their bus. Flyleaf’s new album, “Memento Mori,” will be in stores November 10th. —
Although she knows how much we all enjoy her hard work; Thank You, Brittany! It was a wonderful idea for the scrapbooks, and it’s terrific to know the band cherishes them.  Thanks again for creating a beautiful site and giving us up-to-date Flyleaf news all the time, Brittany!
If you wish to contribute to this project, that never ends, please visit the Scrapbook page and fill in the form, send an email to the address that is given, or even physically send something to Brittany. You can submit at anytime and the books will be delivered to the band (via UPS or whenever Brittany is at a show)Â when they become full.

Rhia -That was filmed last summer before Lacey had gotten married. It was just uploaded to Youtube about a week or so ago. So it’s fairly new to us, but an old recording.
