Thanks Rhia!

Lacey is performing tonight at Rock the Range at 6:30pm EST. Watch it live here!

Lace is also modelling for Hot Topic for a brand called lovesick.

Could it be a new post? Yes, yes I think it is.

I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday. To celebrate Christmas Flyleaf style, I added a “Christmas Mix” playlist on the FlyleafOnline radio that has their 4 Christmas songs on it. Love you guys!

Click the album art to buy it now on iTunes for $1.29. The proceeds for the track will be donated to the World Vision and Samaritans Purse charities.

Hearing it reminds me of the nights I spent in venues around the US, standing with hundreds and thousands of people watching and experiencing Flyleaf play this song live. It was always the most moving experience, and as many times as I’d seen it, it always hit me just as hard. It’s kind of bittersweet to listen to, because there’s going to be a long while before we’re all able to hear it in person again. But I’m really glad we have something to remind us of what it feels like to be there in that moment.

While you’re at it, watch John Mark McMillan talk about the song, and support the original by buying it on iTunes too.

The winners of the How He Loves contest have been notified! Congrats to Laurie, Justine and Chad. :)

Did you have any ‘Spinal Tap’ moments this year?

My entire career has been one long Spinal Tap moment spiraling out of control. A couple of months back we were playing a big outdoor festival supporting The Pixies and Interpol in Mexico City. When we started the set it was as if I channeled the Air Force show in Spinal Tap. There was exponentially more Mexican talk radio coming through my amp than any guitar sounds. Then a 14″ step pyramid lowered from the truss and was almost trod upon by little people dressed like Aztec priests. I envy us.

What were some of your favorite releases from 2010?

Arcade Fire “The Suburbs”
Third Eye Blind “Ursa Major”

New Year’s resolution?

My New Year’s resolution is to be a better listener, and to shred like it’s 1986.

There are a ton of clips, so watch them all here!

You’ve experienced it at Flyleaf’s shows on the Unite & Fight Tour; you’ve seen the clips on Youtube, and just in time for the holidays you can have it all for yourself! On December 21st, Flyleaf’s recording of “How He Loves” will be available at your favorite online retailer. Stay tuned for more updates and links!

SOOOOO EXCITED FOR HOW HE LOVES! You can tell by my usage of caps lock. If this is the only thing I got for Christmas, that’d be cool with me. :] Winner for the HHL contest will be announced Thursday night! We’ve also decided to do a few runners up. First place will win Beneath the Surface, Remember to Live and a free iTunes gift download of How He Loves, and the 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive Remember to Live. Stay tuneeeeeed. :D

Remember to Live is now officially available for purchase on iTunes for $6.99. GO BUY IT! Again, the lyrics are here so you can follow along while you listen for the first time!

It has a continuation of the Letters from the Commander in the digital booklet (and I assume on the cover art for the physical version) that was written from the perspective of the Commander’s daughter. I’m not going to post it here for a while, so buy it to see what it says.

The EP is amazing. Support the band and buy it for all of your friends!

According to FlyleafMusic.com, you can purchase it Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Hot Topic, Newbury Comics, Walmart, and FYE if you want to go to a store to buy it. Digital copies are available at amazon.com, and iTunes!

EDIT: Flyleaf is currently #16 on the TOP 20 Albums for iTunes today! If you haven’t already, buy it! Let’s get them into at least the Top 10! If you pick it up there, write a review about it and let the world know what you think. :)

STREAM REMEMBER TO LIVE ON FLYLEAFS MYSPACE NOW. Do it. You won’t regret it. It’s awesome, inspiring and amazing as always. :)

All of the EP Lyrics are here so when you listen, you can follow along. :)

What’s cool about getting pregnant is that I feel like my priorities in my life are gonna change and life is gonna be a little bit more stable, I think, in a way that I can put boundaries around how much work demands of me, you know,” she laughed. “Definitely gonna try to not plan too much until the baby comes, and then we won’t plan to do anything at least until October.”

Sturm and her husband Joshua are expecting the baby, a boy, early next year. The couple were married two years ago.

Sturm told The Pulse Of Radio that the baby will be named Joshua Lewis, after her husband and her favorite writer, “Chronicles Of Narnia” author C.S. Lewis.

There are previews for Remember to Live on the French version of Amazon. Feel free to listen to them here. They are beautiful. I feel this EP is going to be beastly.

Thanks to Dirick for the link!

Click to see the Remember To Live cover in HI-RES. Pat’s such an amazing artist. I may hate him a little for it.

Flyleaf has added a ton of new merch to their online store just in time for Christmas. So ask your parents and friends to get you all the super awesomely beautiful merch from the Unite and Fight Part 2 Tour. The long awaited Skeleton Hoodie has been added. Go buy some stuff!

As I’m sure you guys have seen, Remember to Live has been confirmed to come out on December 7, 2010. I was in Boston for the last few days, so forgive my posting slack. In celebration of the EP’s release, the band’s official website has gotten a facelift and you can also hear 90 second previews of Justice and Mercy as well as Amy Says here on Flyleaf’s FB. Memento Vivere!

Hi Everyone,
On December 7th we will be releasing new music, and we hope you enjoy “Remember to Live” (Memento Vivere). It’s a bunch of old songs that you guys have asked us to record for years, so we finally did it. There are a few new songs you may have never heard and old ones reborn that Passerby fans will remember.

Also, be sure to check out our new website. We hope you are excited about all the new features and artwork. All the woodcuts and art you see on the website were done by Pat when we first came up with the concept for Memento Mori. The community page will stay alive so all of the hard work you put into your profiles and blogs will still be a part of the site. Thank you for all your love and support!

Happy Holidays,
<3 Lacey

PS - Stay tuned in the coming weeks for news about "How He Loves"

My husband Joshua and I are overjoyed to be expecting a baby boy early next year! <3 Lacey
