    From someone who played violin professionally for quite a few years, what Lindsey does is very impressive. I mean she has good technique, and I like in this song how she has some fairly fast runs but each note is distinct. Like Elizabeth said, stringed instruments tend to sound Legato, as if the notes are run together. To get a crisp, more Staccato sound you have to get fancy with the bow. That's not easy. Not at the speed she's doing it anyway.
    But the thing that sets her apart is her stage performances where she dances while playing. That's basically impossible. I believe she was told along the way by more than a few people that it was impossible and she should give up. This wasn't just someone who had the perseverance to achieve something difficult. It's more like being told your whole life that gravity is not optional, and you refuse to believe that and somehow learn to fly.
    She's an inspiration. I'd be happy with 10% of her determination.

      She's a fighter. So many times she was faced with a excuse to why she should quit she instead took it as a challenge and showed that what was said as impossible is only said by those that lacked the courage to even attempt it. She is a true role model with an unbeatable spirit.

      Well-stated! Yes, we even got to see her be told on TV that what she was attempting was impossible. A few years later I was getting to watch Lindsey dead center from less than 10 feet from the stage doing the "impossible". And in the years since she has just continued to smash barrier after barrier, overcoming pain and everything else in her path to do what no one else can do. Yes, with 10% of her determination I would have been 1000% more accomplished than I am.

      The part for me is what I hear and how I relate. We are far from perfect as Human and each of our experiences are personal. How we connect or relate to something or someone is an expression or our experiences in life. As imperfect as we are its as equally beautiful if we choose to see it. Lyrical poetry as I've often heard it described as is a deep form of therapy for my soul.
      As some may think Soup is good for you while being sick. Music with Passion is My Chicken Noodle soup for my Soul. Depression can be very dark, and music such as this is opening the Black out curtains for me.. thank you ..

    • @chriswhinery925
      @chriswhinery925 Před 2 lety +4

      Your interpretation is perfectly valid, too. Lindsey may have written it about her own struggles with an eating disorder but smart songwriters like her leave the lyrics a little more on the vague side so that they can be more relatable to more people. For her the song is about an eating disorder but the actual lyrical content of the song is just about struggling with with an unnamed something that you're too afraid to tackle yourself and crying out for help from someone else. The unnamed something could be anything that the listener has struggled with now or in the past. I assume that's what she was going for.
      That, or the lyrics are vague because nothing really rhymes with anorexia.

    The keyboardist in this video is Jason Gaviati 'Gavi' , and was Lindsey's best friend. It was absolutely amazing watching these two interact both on and off stage, check out some of the live performances of Round Table Rival with him. In her documentary 'Brave Enough' Lindsey talks about how supportive he was and how he was always there with a hug when she needed it.
    Gavi developed a very nasty cancer while on tour for Shatter me and passed away rather suddenly. Shortly after this Lindsey also lost her father as well, and it was devastating to her. Shatter me was all about breaking free of the her eating / mental disorders. Her third album 'Brave Enough' is about dealing with the loss of her father and Gavi. It features a lot more vocalists such as Andrew McMahon, Cara Faye, ZZ Ward, Rivers Cuomo and Lecrae. It really was an amazing and powerful album that you should check out, it tops this album as one of me favorites that she release.

    @afibuffygirl Před 3 lety +39

    Her stance is pretty common for metal singers who also play guitar. The knee props the guitar up just enough for what they need to do and obviously lean a bit forward towards the microphone. Lizzie plays guitar on a good amount of her songs so im not surprised at all if she has this habit even without playing the guitar. She seriously is talented, a huge amount of power, strong vibrato, real steady with no shakes etc. It's harder for women to sing more metal compared to men and you really just gotta have it naturally and Lizzie really really does.

  • @Adam1984_

    I've watched this performance probably half a dozen times, but I only just realized that at the end, the moment you said "awww they like each other" Lzzy is actually saying "thank you" to Lindsey in American Sign Language. I assume she just didn't want to say it verbally since her mic was still on.

    This isn't the only song where Lzzy does this, but you can really hear it in this tune. She really has incredible pitch. There are a few different parts where she enters and needs to immediately be in unison with the violin. Just before the "shatter" in the chorus you can hear the violin. If she was even a little out of pitch with those parts you'd immediately be able to tell due to it being unison...and she just absolutely nails it.
