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.
Below is an article that is very recent. Lacey talks about going home after touring and such. Click  to view the full article.
You can miss a lot when you’re on tour for nearly seven years.
For Lacey Mosley, the lead singer of Flyleaf, going on tour meant not being able to watch her younger sister, who was 10 when Lacey left, grow up.
With the impending release of Memento Mori, Flyleaf’s long-awaited second album, she and guitarist Jared Hartmann opened up to MTV News about life away from the tour bus and the meaning behind their new music.
Mosley, who is from Arlington, Texas, said it was weird coming back home after being on tour for so long because the small town she grew up in got so much bigger. While most of us would love a seven-month vacation — especially after what seemed like seven straight years of working — Mosley couldn’t stay away too long. Even during her break she said she and the band continued to work on the album, and that staying at home with nothing to do made her feel restless at times.
Flyleaf’s Lacey Sturm Wants People to Know That Life Has a Purpose
“I see my sister in so many faces of so much of our audience,” she continued. “I have two younger brothers as well. I want so much to be able to convince them or tell them that their lives are important. ‘You’re meant to be here. There’s a purpose that only you can fulfill.’ So many times, at that age, they feel like they’re in the way. They get in some kind of trouble or humiliated somehow and they feel that they can’t stand up afterward. Or they get hurt somehow with a relationship. They feel they can’t keep going because it’s going to last forever.”
For Sturm, this just isn’t the way it’s meant to be. And she wants to make that known. “I just want to say, ‘There’s more to your life than a couple years. There’s more to come. You can be stronger afterward.’ I want them to hear that, because I think that so many amazing people get squashed because of the circumstances in life. They could accomplish so many great things to make the world a better place but they don’t get to because no one ever encouraged them.”
With the title, ‘Memento Mori,’ Flyleaf took that feeling a step further so that it now encompasses meaning for the rest of the band as well. Essentially, it means to make the most of the time we’ve all been given. The album hits stores Oct. 27.
There is a about Lacey’s thoughts on Memento Mori. Along with what she thinks about the fans/audience, their job, etc..
Recording Memento Mori was an inspiring experience from conception to delivery. We are anxiously awaiting it’s release in late October. Memento Mori speaks of second chances, Hope, the reality of Love and Forgiveness, and acknowledging that in the midst of our mortality there is Purpose. We are excited for our upcoming tour with our friends in Paper Tongues. They are a group of men who share this vision.
