- A forte for the violin, quirky style, and funky dance steps draws millions-and millions-of UA-cam views for BYU student Lindsey Stirling ('13). Read more at magazine.byu.edu/?act=view&a=3032
There is something really special about her, and I'm not only speaking about her talent. She just seems so sweet, real
I agreed 👍👍👍
Lindsey, I am 49 years old and my 24 year old son introduced me to your music. Whoever told you that what you do is not marketable didn't know their market. You bridge the gap between young and old, classical and modern. I think your wonderful and what you said about how we each have our own God given characteristics and we need to use those is spot on. WTG GIRL
This day, I was rewarded by not only music and dance from Lindsey, but her words of inspiration. I really needed this today. Thank you Lindsey. I will continue to write and I will publish another novel. Confirmed this date!
Her love of what she does is what's soooo contagious, and how can anyone NOT be drawn to that? I'm adding uplifting, fun, and flat-out enjoyable to your list. My hope is she continues to do, and be, what she does so well and she continues to love it.
This aged well
Way to be Lindsey! Thanks for representing BYU students in such a fun and exciting way!
"When you do what you love, people are drawn to you".
You've got that right. There's just something....inspirational and addictive about watching Lindsey play the violin. She looks like she's having so much fun, and its contagious.
I knew the finger work in Crystalize was fantastic, but seeing it at the end just gave me a whole new appreciation for the talent Lindsey has. She's an absolutely wonderful violinist, and an even better person.
My sister and nieces play the violin, and I played for 20 years, and I disagree with anybody who says your music is not marketable. I could listen to it all day!
There are always people who tell you what you love can't be done just because it isn't phenomenally popular. However, talent and passion combined usually gains a substantial audience. Who would have thought Celtic Woman would be a worldwide phenomenon when they launched? Even they didn't think that (it was a 1-night PBS special after all). Keep going full-speed ahead Lindsey. You're awesome.
Passion is what makes a performer. You will shine, and your radiance will touch all corners of the world. Never stop dancing. Never stop playing. What you do is so full of life that all who see and hear are infected with the strength of your passion, and inspired to reach within themselves for what we see in you.
She does make it look easy . . .I've played viola for 8 years now lol I don't anything like that. Still though it's obvious because she puts sssssooooo much love into her music it's unbelievable. I'm personally drawn not only to her songs but her freedom to do what she loves regardless if its a "marketable" talent or not.
I have had appreciation for the classical's before but Lindsey Sterling has mad me appreciate the violin to a level i have not gone before. From the unique twist on its usage to her just being me style. Love you Lindsey keep it up!!!!!!
As an agnostic, I'd like to share that I think what Ms. Stirling does is incredible. She gives. She shares. She loves. I may not believe in a particular creed, but she will forever be a shining example of my belief in the human spirit.
I am 60 as well. I agree with you. I still listen to "heavy metal" but a European symphonic type. But this young lady is great and does a variety. Love watching the choreography. She is a dancer. She is the violin girl. She can also sing. So much talent and, in a wee little package.Too much to say.
when people see someone express what they truly care about, the honesty of it end up being entertaining for it's own sake. Lindsey not only does this but with the sort of skill that would be entertaining anyway. Add to all that a sense of real creativity and you get a perfect storm of Awesomeness that is her music.
I first saw you on America's Got Talent. From the first little snippet they showed of you, you had me hooked. I love your individuality and your positive attitude. You're a true inspiration for people who may be afraid to let their individuality shine. Keep being yourself and big things will come to you. I'll be your fan and admiring you from afar every step of the way.
"when you do what you love people are drawn to you" YES!
BYU is lucky to have you as a student :) And don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't make money doing what you love. It's absolutely untrue. If you love something and can communicate that love effectively you can make money at just about anything. You are blessed with amazing talent, so glad you are proud to be yourself and do what you love... the rest of us are graced by the gift you give us with your talent.
Just love Lindsey and soooo happy for her success! I can't wait to see her in concert in person!!! She is amazing! Thanks for sharing this interview/vid!!
I am glad I found Lindsey, Love violin covers so I sat down searching for covers after I listened to my favorite The Pretender Violin cover. Then suddenly after a few clicks Crystallize Dubstep Pop-up...What can I say... I'm in love
Keep doing what you love. You are such an inspiration. I hope I get the pleasure of seeing you perform live one day. I love your music combined with your style. Keep making songs! I think i've listened to all the songs you've done on UA-cam so far and im craving more. Good luck and god bless :)
at 4:22, she says, "People are drawn to you when you do what you love.... everyone has a God given gift." Love it!
Your an amazing inspiration Lindsey, and you bring a fresh sound and look to the violin. Those that say you can not make it are out of touch with the pulse of the masses. Do your thing and you can change the world.
Those judges probably don't even remember what it is to actually be a musician, they are paid to tell you what they want out of people, not what you want to bring to the people. Keep it up you are such an inspiration! I'm going to be beginning violin lessons soon because of you and I have always loved the violin. Such a beautiful instrument! Oh, and can you please do a Harry Potter melody?
Exactly
You're so right about Lindsey bridging the gap between young and old. My wife and I are in our 60s and just adore Lindsey's music and Lindsey hereself. We had the honor and privelege to meet her at her Houston Concert. So my wife thinks I've gone a bit overboard but I cant remember anyone who has grabbed me like she has since the Beatles...and that was 50 years ago. Just as they were new and unique so is Lindsey Stirling. Can't say much else, not enough chracters left to say it all. :o)
I adore you & your music. I wish my son could see you perform. Maybe he would be motivated to learn and play the violin a friend gifted me and I asked Joshua to hold till I found a home. Homeless, unemployed, living in a truck since Nov. 2009 has been rough but it has given me the courage to play guitar and sing at local open mics. Godbless You Lindsey for chasing your dreams and inspiring me. Thanks Angel. Love & "LIGHT", Christopher
I'm so pleased everything is going well for you Lindsey! Your success also brings me real joy! You are a positive force in this life.
I love your energy and passion for your work... I am a fan to your positive attitude!!! well done Lindsey, keep on like this!!! You inspire me...
When you hear the music you think of how amazing it is, and how amazing her performances are, and yet we forget her drive isn't money, or fame, or even being remembered. Its to be s symbol to others, to prove that we can live our dreams. Her motives behind her music is the real beauty, and the music its self could never compare.
Lindsey, you greatly inspire me. Thank you for sharing your gifts and authenticity with the world and thank you for sharing this interview!
The more I see you play your music and talk about it, the more adoraable you become! Keep up your dream and disregard any maysayers, like at America's got talent. Your fans tell a different story! I was a BYU a long time ago and visited the Temple when I was 13.
Keep doing what you love to do.Because I for one love to listen to what you do and your dance is amazing.
Who would ever tell a person that they cant make it. That would tear most people down and destroy dreams. I am glad you didn't give up. You are an inspiration to me and many of my friends, even though I've only been a listener for about 6 months now, I respect you and your music, dancing, and personality more then most of the music I've heard before now. You are proof that a dream can change someones life, even if found in the farthest places. I'll be cheering for you!
Being an instrument in His hands with an instrument in your hands. Love it!
The camera angles are AMAZING, matches her style
Hey Lindsey, it's a privilege to have discovered and subsequently been inspired by you. I'm a shred guitar metal Mormon, and appreciate your message of going with what you love and honing your individual talents. Sweet.
Thanks for the inspiration and inspiring words as a beloved daughter of Our Heavenly Father Lindsey in this BYU Magazine interview! God has raised you up to such great heights!
For someone who dont make albums and get known from face book a lot i think your amazing waay better then tons of artist i know in soo many categories.. I am sure the rest of your fans will say the same thing. Your spontaneous and unique i love the way you make your violin sing so beautifully. I hope your talent goes higher then the stars i love your music. I think its nearly impossible for you NOT to move your head to the rhythm.
Love it Lindsey. Keep playing...we'll all keep listening!
"I think that when you do what you love people are drawn to you."
Well not only that but it also moves and motivates people to do what they love to do because they have seen a great happiness in you and with what you do.
I never thought I'd listen to a violinist but now I just love it .... The idea and concept is ingenious ... Lindsey has done an apple
You are a gift to us all and Im so very grateful. You Lindsey are amazing. Thank you
Your joy and passion truly is viral! Keep shining!
September can't come soon enough. I want an album!!
when i feel sad ill watch one of your videos and your love for what you do always cheers me up :D
So glad I had accidentally come across her on UA-cam. Very happy for her success & happiness. May she get bigger than her doubters Pierce Morgan & Sharon Osborne
wow.. been watching and more importantly listening and then I came across this videos Lindsey you are an adorable gift to millions that have the opportunity to listen to you.. such an uplifting sound and angelic look.. such a lose to those who haven't noticed you... YET.. definitely YET because they will and they will stay and love it.. keep it up and thank you
I'm glad you kept up doing what you believed in, you are great , i love the video Stars Align, love the dance moves
, one day soon i'll get a chance to see you in concert
Those judges were wrong. I love your music and performance. Share your talent with the world!!
Lindsey your fan base grows more and more every day. Please don't stop! Those "experts" don't know anything if they think you're "not in your league." I think you've gone above and beyond and those boxes... well you've thought AND DANCED CIRCLES around those boxes. Keep it up ;]
I think what you do is simply amazing, and it is truly a remarkable thing that you are able to do what you love, and spread the warmth it gives to so many places and people. personally, violin is my favorite instrument but I haven't got lessons yet. But when I get to play I surely hope I can play and have as much fun as you do. Keep shining!
I love her, is a good artist and enjoy her clips very much, thanks by upload it with subs
Lindsey!! You are amazing in what you do!! Never stop doing what you love!!
Lindsey your amazing. I just stumbled across you on itunes and found a few videos here on youtube. Im blown away and Im about to buy your album. Your an inspiration. It's funny that people are always told no a million times just before their rise to the top. I pray for you lindsey. I hope that you far surpass everyones expectations and I beleive you will.
She's great! I love her music and her costumes and dancing.
You're awesome, Lindsey! It's truly a joy to watch you play and listen to your music because your love of what you do comes out so brilliantly.
OMG I never checked but I'd like to get all her musics... I love the Music... Besides you have a gift and a blessing. Thanks for sharing
Such an inspiration..I play the viola and never have faith in myself but since I saw you I wanna do better and try harder because instruments are so beautiful and if you can play any stick with it (:
Lindsey, God has blessed and you honor Him by expressing yourself through music. You are liked for who you are not by being something you were not created to be.
Lindsey, you bring a lot of joy & inspiration to a lot of people. never let the haters get you down.
Lindsey, I can't get enough of you and your music! I sit and listen for hours, you are amazing!
4:27 Yes Lindsey, keep going, please. We don´t ever want you to stopp being Awesome
From those first notes int he beginning of the video I knew that song was crystallize. I love Lindsey and her music XD
Lindsey, your an absolutely awesome person! I'm kind of an outcast at school as well as in my family. I'm the person who sticks out even though i'm as quiet as a mouse. I used to think that i didn't belong any where, that i was just a small child lost in a huge crowd. But you have truly taken your unique style and personality and matched it with the beauty of the violin. You really are an amazing person!!! :D
Stay awesome, and positive! Keep doing what you like, you'll make people happy
I definitely agree with Lindsey when she says that if you do something you love, people are drawn to you. I mean she chooses the things she does on UA-cam, and if she wasn't enjoying herself, it would show, and I bet people wouldn't like her music as much. I love the music she composes and arranges, I buy the sheet music myself just because I love it so much. I think with her upcoming tour, album, the number of views on her videos (108 millionish) just proves her talent to people who doubt it.
americas got talent said it would never catch. now they would be honored to have her as a judge. good job lindsey :D very motivational
A friend on Facebook posted a You Tube Video of "The Wizard of Ahhhs" that was so cool by Pentatonix, that caused me to view some of their other wonderful videos and THAT's where I discovered Lindsey Stirling on a video "Radioactive" She (& they) are absolutely amazing musicians - they inject such life and joy in their music....and yes, I'm in my 60's too but still young at heart.
Yes, I agree. So, keep doing what you're doing, we love it
I love you because the way you are. you're unique. keep going!
Lindsey, you are AMAZING!, Keep doing what you're doing! Because it is working, very well, so well!
She hasn't played any eastern styles of music. My sister plays violin and her versions of eastern music is quite cool so i bet if she played so it would be awesome.
All us easterners here, thumbs up if you want to hear an eastern themed piece from her !
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in every way!!!
Lindsey, you are changing the world, one emotion at a time!
Amazing combination with what you do.
You're amazing! the best violinist who I heard in my life ... Para mi la mejor violinista del mundo!
Lindsey - You are truly inspiring and hope you keep doing what you're doing now!
I'm glad you stuck with something you loved to do Lindsey! :) I have always been fascinated with the violin...but, always expected more of a role than just being a part in a giant orchestra...You took the violin to a whole new level and you're just an amazing person with a god given talent of making people happy by doing something you love. And I hope you continue to do so. And I will continue to smile and listen to your music on my "down" days and on my happy days :)
you are awesome.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please never stop doing what you're doing.
what a wonderful, free-spirited and talented person ! your work is breathing, living art ... truly, very inspiring :)))
lindsy your a great violinist you have inspired me to start learning violin dont listen to negative comments you get dont let them hold you down keep on doing what you love :)
lindsey stirling has awesome music she became one of my top favs love her music keep it up linsdey :D
I love her and Christina and Ali they are all good examples to me. Love ya linds!
I can't wait till Oct. 29th! to get your album!!! 0:D You are so talented & gifted! I watch AGT all the time and they were so wrong to tell you that you would not make it as a performer! Glad your showing them that they were DEAD WRONG!!! I cannot wait to see you in concert live!!!
over the years that i have followed you on youtube and listened to your music... i never knew that she was Mormon too. that is straight up awesome and even more of a good example to me.
I love her way to be :) She's not just an artist, she's wonderful
How is it not marketable? I first heard your music at work on pandora. I loved it as soon as i heard it, both for the violin and the dance beats. I think your music reaches both the dance crowd and even the classical music listeners. I don't think the judges know what they are talking about. By the way, I play your music at work all the time and my 3 year old daughter and I love to watch your videos and dance to your music.
Thats a perfect idea !!! id seriously like to see that !!
so everyone who agrees with us please thumbs up so that she sees this
What I would give to make Lindsey my violin teacher. She is such an inspiration and I hope to meet her one day :)
Lindsey did serve in NYC. And she has not yet graduated from BYU. Thanks for your interest.
I love your music Lindsey. Never quit what you've work so hard for. 3
i actually respect that comment. Thanks for giving me a lesson in heart.
very well said i just love how she is such an inspiration
This is my favorite part LOL!!! 0:48 to 1:00 she is amazing i love her unique style I love her
Lindsey is the only artist, which became so famous in superstar (or whatever it was) and is totally worth it.
Wow Lindsey, you've come so far! Awsome!!!
Lindsay enjoy the music and the life,, great :)
she is a marvelous work and a wonder
I liked the zoom on her left hand when she plays transcendent!
I think it's important to realize that most ppl in the entire world would've doubted Lindsey doing what she does. Some ppl would voice it, some are "polite". The fact is that what she had attempted is far from the status-quo that existed for hundreds of yrs! In humanity once in a while someone capable (accompanied by strong will) illuminates a new and better path and shows ppl the way. There is a famous quote I think of:
"Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible". MC Esher
