Flyleaf chat to I Like Music


ILM: It's great that you're creating heavy rock music but music that's positive and has hope and focuses more on surviving, rather than a lot of the negative doom and gloom stuff that's out there. Do you find you're happier in yourselves and your lives having that more positive attitude?

LACEY: I think we're just honest. There is a lot of horror and terror in life, but that's the thing about rock music, it's a really passionate place, so we do have that in our music but, if you read the Psalms, it's the same thing there, it brings you hope because you can relate to it, but at the end of it, it's always grateful. And, in that gratefulness, maybe there'll be some hope for someone else going through the same situation.

ILM: You write edgy, powerful rock anthems with a positive vibe. Please can you describe the FLYLEAF music making process? Lyrics first then melody or vice versa or just random?

LACEY: It is different with every song. A lot of times it'll be the music and the lyrics and guitar will come together because it will fit. When I do write a song, normally the rhythm and the lyrics go together. I'll sit down with a guitar and come up with a melody and a theme that' going on in my head and then I'll bring it to the band who make it Flyleaf. Otherwise it's just me and my guitar, and nothing like what it sounds like on our show, just the skeleton of it, so everybody puts their heads into it and their own heart into it.
