Flyleaf Reflect on Past in "New Horizons"

Flyleaf are back after taking a well-deserved break, and they've returned with their emotionally charged clip for "New Horizons," the first single and title track from the rockers' upcoming third full-length disc. The Texas-based alternative metal band are gearing up to release, and decided to name their next album after their new track, while it speaks about enjoying the moment and thinking about the future, actually takes on more reflective feel within the new music video.
The lead singer Lacey Sturm' voice takes center stage, with a big assist from the twin guitar assault of Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann. She sings to the camera, "There is no such thing as time inside this moment no surprise, wait until I fly," while she and her bandmates look through photos and gifts collected through the years. Bassist Pat Seals describes the tune: "'New Horizons' expresses a feeling of looking toward the unknown future with hope. Definitely one of our best and most joyful songs - I am excited to see how our fans will receive it."
This catchy new single features a slightly more mellow Sturm over a melodic beat, but the song works simply because it manages to catch your ear right out of the gate and leaves you wanting more by the time it is over. Sturm has an uncanny ability to encode uplifting messages within sublime hard rock, and the track continues that tradition. Simultaneously, the group continues to challenge itself and evolve, and that's the most wonderful and refreshing aspect of the latest from Flyleaf.
"New Horizons" is all about letting go of the past and looking hopefully towards the future, and its video does just that. It's everything you've come to expect from rock quintet Flyleaf: loud, anthemic, and inspiring. In the clip, while looking back and reflecting, Seals takes viewers on a tour alternates between shots of the band playing in a backlit, hazy living room and photographs of the group in various stages of their career. At the end, Sturm opens up a photo album and then joins her husband and son on a picnic blanket, and you've got one of Flyleaf's most emotional videos to date.

Flyleaf Rock Out For Broadway Musical "Sorrow"

The Belton, Texas-based heavy rock quintet Flyleaf has released their fifth music video for the fifth track "Sorrow," on their self-titled studio album, "Flyleaf." The video, directed by Jake Davis, features the quintet dressed up and rocking out in a Broadway musical type theme.
The American rock band formed in 2000 when frontwoman Lacey Mosley tried out a string of the dark, hard-edged songs she consistently wrote as a brooding teen on drummer James Culpepper. Following their self-titled 2005 release of "Flyleaf," the band did what they do best and toured heavily on the festival circuit, and were even voted Yahoo's Who's Next band in March 2006, and were also named MTV's artist of the week on December 24, 2007.
"A flyleaf is the blank page at the front of a book," explains Mosley, Flyleaf's vocalist. "It's the dedication page, the place you write a message to someone you're giving a book to. And, that's kind of what our songs are — personal messages that provide a few moments of clarity before the story begins."
The music video displays the band playing on a dark stage. The video intercuts between the band performing and lead singer Mosley walking around a theater and preparing for a show that she is about to perform. At the end of the music video, Mosley is shown handcuffed and thrown into a tank as part of a magic trick in front of a crowd of people. The crowd then looks on in horror as Mosley is shown struggling and apparently drowning in the tank until she is pulled out.
Flyleaf have always worn their hearts on their sleeves. In fact, there's a raw and real honesty at the core of every song that the band's written from their debut "Flyleaf" to their latest offering,
"Memento Mori." Flyleaf have evolved immensely since their debut, and their story continues to inspire fans worldwide. Right now, the band's in the midst of their "Unite & Fight Tour" alongside 10 Years and Fair to Midland. "Unite & Fight" means a lot to the quintet, and they decided to tell us all about it backstage at the tour's Anaheim California stop.
