Chasing All the Stars
Fleurie Lyrics

There's a letter sealed and unopened for you
All the words that I can't seem to get out in person
I'm bad with that but you know that all too well
There's a moment set aside for you
But I'll probably neglect to reach out to you again
It's harder now and you're all I've got

Whoa, caught in my own scheme
Whoa, stuck in a bad dream

Where I keep calling you but there's no answer
Just a multitude of questions left to chance
And I don't know why you keep saying things will be alright
I know these storms will come, let it rain let it pour on me
You're my umbrella in a raging sea
I won't give in to the insanity, chasing all the stars

There's a silence staring me down
If I could see you I bet I'd break in half
But there's a disconnect, I can see it's tearing us apart
There's a promise I made that I can't keep
All my regret testifies that I am
Far from flawless always reckless, can I borrow your forgiveness
I say I need some space but all we've got are

Whoa, oceans between us
Whoa, separating

And I keep calling you but there's no answer
Just a multitude of questions left to chance
And I don't know why you keep saying things will be alright
I know these storms will come, let it rain let it pour on me
You're my umbrella in a raging sea
I won't give in to the insanity, chasing all the stars

Lauren is from Canton, Michigan but has acquired a few hometowns over the past few years, including Sydney, Australia and Nashville, Tennessee. She has been writing music since age 11 and sharing it with people since age 17. Fleurie is a word of French origin, meaning "in bloom." Lauren's vision for Fleurie was a sound to match her songwriting: raw, honest, and expressive. With much help from a few very talented musician friends, Fleurie was born. Fleurie is a sonic blend of organic layers and cinematic melodies.

New to Nashville's singer-songwriter scene is artist Fleurie, the musical moniker of Lauren Strahm, a 24-year-old hailing from the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. The French word, meaning "in bloom" was chosen by the artist herself, who wanted an alias that accurately represented her sound. With an array of musical influences, including Coldplay, Imogen Heap, Dashboard Confessional, and The Fray, Strahm cites that her goal in writing every song is staying honest and true to the sound within her and the story being told.

The first EP from Fleurie, Fear & Fable, was released in October of 2013. Though it bears some darker tones thematically and lyrically, Strahm manages to deliver them softly and quite vulnerably to the listener. Fear & Fable is a collection of carefully constructed stories inhabiting haunting melodies woven through organic sounds - very much so a minimalist approach but with sonic depth.

Since moving to Nashville and the release of Fear & Fable, Fleurie has been at work exploring new sonic landscapes and delving into writing the part of the story she finds herself journeying now. Fleurie has a new EP in the works for release spring/summer of 2015.
