Someone told me years ago that a band of born-again rock musicians had covered a Nine Inch Nails song from Pretty Hate Machine. Obviously thinking that sounded like a complete disaster, I looked them up and gave the album a listen.
I found the exact opposite to be true.
I was excited by the care they gave to the classic song, and particularly by the amazing performance of the lead vocalist, now a rock star, author and most importantly, a fantastic mommy and wife. My dream.
I later traveled 200 miles to see this band and its incredible singer, who later became known as Princess Lacey, perform live in a venue under the bridge in Corpus Christi. This was shortly after the destruction caused by Hurricane Ike here in Houston.
The band's next record, Memento Mori, featured the song and video we watch tonight.
Here is Princess Lacey and Flyleaf with "Again."
I hear Lacey and the band is wandering through downtown Houston in the next couple weeks.
She's one of the earliest, coming from the era of the original "John is Waiting for His Princess" blog. I guess, in a sense, it's our 20th anniversary, my love...
