Lacey Mosley would sound a whole lot more "normal" if she sang a different style. But she doesn't sing a normal style, and for me, that's part of her appeal. Even in live recordings, she sounds the same (unlike some artists).
"Telling Layla's story spoken 'bout how all her bones are broken" may open "Fully Alive" on a dark note, but "she's glad for one day of comfort only because she has suffered". It's a poignent point that having had a bad life should make you all the more appreciative of good things. In Layla's case, she's "fully alive, more than most, ready to smile and love life"—"she knows how to believe in futures".
When was the last time you found another post-grunge or heavy metal song that said that?
The music is better than average, with some involved electric guitar in there. It is a little rough on the ears, according to its post-grunge genre, but it's well put-together.
Looking for heavy metal or post-grunge music with uplifting lyrics? That's found in Flyleaf.
