Check out the new post from Fireflight's official website

"We would like to take a minute as a band to express our deepest gratitude to our friends, families and wonderful fans. This past year, more than any other, we have felt and received the fullness of your loving support in so many countless ways. 2011 had some amazing highs as well as some devastating lows. Our year started off with the loss of our equipment through the theft of our band trailer. That terrible loss was then followed immediately by the uplifting and humbling news of our very first Grammy nomination for the record “For Those Who Wait”! Many subsequent trials and victories, both big and small, have found their way into our lives over these past months. But through all of it, you, our extended Fireflight family, have been most encouraging. Whether it was a post on Facebook or Myspace, or at our table at a show, your kind empowering words have not fallen on deaf ears. You are our “Flight Crew” and we love you!"... (read here)

Stay Close lyrics


I want to know you
There's so much at stake
Can't face the memories
They bend me till I break
Hiding from the past
But it's eating me alive
Can't block it out
When its coming from inside
Every turn leads me to a new dead end
Lost again, I'm screaming your name

Come close, come close
And call my name
How can you turn your back on me
When you know my pain
Stay close, stay close
Light up the night
Save me from the part of me that's begging to die

Precious denial, a stone to break my back
The chains I carry won't cut me any slack
Imprisoned by fear with no room for my heart
My only hope, only you can heal the scars
Every turn leads me to a new dead end
Lost again, I'm screaming your name

Stay by my side
If you leave me I will die
Stay by my side
If you leave me I will die
Stay by my side
If you hold me I will fly
If you hold me I will fly
Will you hold me

New album

New CD Is Done!!

Just in case you didn't gather from the title of this blog, our new cd is finally done! We just heard the final, mastered versions of the songs this past Tuesday for the first time, and I'm now more excited than ever for you guys and girls to hear it all.  I won't say the standard "this is our best album we've ever done," because if i do that I will set up an expectation that...well...it's the best album we've ever done. I'm not saying i don't feel that way, but you're gonna be hard pressed to get me to say it.
Just to reiterate something I addressed in our last blog: No, we don't know when it's coming out yet. However, we now know what it's called...that doesn't mean we're gonna tell you what it's called, but I can promise you if you use some of the letters of the American alphabet you will be able to form the title of the record, once the correct letters, and number of letters are put in the correct sequence. So...get to guessing!!!
We're currently wrapping up the Music With a Mission Tour with Hawk Nelson, Superchick, Hyland, Manafest, and more.  It's been a really fun tour and we've made a lot of new friends, so hopefully some of you were able to check it out at one point. For you West Coast peeps, we'll be heading out your way in November for Winter Jam, which, despite the season, is still called Winter Jam.  Maybe next year it will be Fall Jam...who knows? We'll be sharing the stage with RED, Kutless, Newsboys, Matthew West and a lot more, so make sure you come out and see us.
That's it for now. As soon as we have more info on the release date, album title and anything else related to the new album, like a new song off it...that you West Coast Winter Jam people WILL be hearing, keep an eye here and on our facebook. Oh, and follow us on twitter @fireflightrock
