He’s dealing with a rare form of cancer…

So last time we were talking… music… bands…
he asks me—
“you know that band DIESEL?”

I said… nah… not ringing a bell…

He goes—
“yeah… DIESEL… they sing that song Hemorrhage…”

I said—
“Oooo… you mean FUEL bro…”

He pauses…

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Flyleaf (Week 19)

There For You 🎶 Cage On The Ground…

Before Lacey Sturm ever stepped on stage with Flyleaf, she had already lived through the kind of darkness most people only write about. As a teenager she battled deep depression and survived a suicide attempt… and what came after reshaped everything. Her faith didn’t become an image or a lane — it became the core of who she was. That’s why her voice hits different. It’s not just tone or technique… it’s survival, it’s prayer, it’s something real breaking through. A lot of those Flyleaf songs weren’t crafted for radio… they came straight from her journals, her struggles, her conversations with God. That’s why you feel them more than you just hear them.

What makes her story even more wild… she walked away from it all in 2012, right when things were peaking after New Horizons. No drama… no crash… just a decision to step back for her family and her calling. Most artists hold on tighter at that point — she let go. And when she came back, it wasn’t to pick up where she left off… it was to start fresh with her own solo career. Same intensity, same raw honesty… just even more personal and stripped down. That contrast you hear in her — the softness and the scream, the broken and the bold — that’s not a style she learned… that’s a life she lived.
