The Lindsey Effect - Continued

Listening to Lindsey Stirling on YouTube... Calming, Comforting, Soul-Connecting, Soothing, Flying... Finding out more about her, too.

And WOW!! Lindsey played on stage made up in front of the castle of DISNEYWORLD .... ! 😀 😮

She did it for Thanksgiving Day night time performance.... And was maybe one week after the 3rd anniversary of Gavi's Death... 28 November 2019...
{That's her bestest friend/surrogate brother & keyboardist, who passed away from heart failure due to cancer — they expected him to actually be successfully treated for it, too, I think}

It still kinda blows my brain that So Ironically Gavi died on the same day I had to pack everything to leave London... 21st November 2015... That Ironically on that day we both lost something and someone so intricately important to us, forever, with a heartbreak and grief that was entirely overwhelming...😞

And then... She's gone on and done what I REALLY thought was going to be The IMPOSSIBLE ... She's helped me manage to listen to music again. It's fucking INCREDIBLE & AMAZING...

She did a version of Carol of the Bells which made music history as the only instrumental to be Number 1 on their version of the Top 10 I think😀 😮

.... I Absolutely FREAKING LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT....(!!!)

The album it's from, Warmer In The Winter, was No.1 JOINTLY on Billboard, iTunes and Spotify (I think - 3 major ones, anyway) that Christmas

She just got an award from a "She Rocks" music awards (Amy Lee of Evanescence won in 2021) for one of their 2024 Inspirational Award (bit like a lifetime achievement, in a way) told a story when she came to get it about her mam going on tour with her, and her band, because she was still relatively young — and then driving across America to LA, to try out for the America's Got Talent auditions.

... Her dad died of cancer about 2 months after Gavi did, in early 2016... 😞

She and Amy Lee (Evanescence) — who has been My Person in Music since I was about 22 — and where I got my inspiration from for 20 years henceforth — have been collaborators on several pieces that are utterly Amazing.

When I went to get Souly in his box... It was almost like the baton was passed at that point, between them, for me — when I listened to their collaboration on the Evanescence song HI-LO... Which I had on Repeat when I went there. I had no idea for years it was Lindsey — on the way there I realised the violin piece in it was too familiar and I looked it up... And it was Lindsey.

I shockingly realised then I had loved her playing for YEARS before I'd known her — THAT violin piece in it has been flooring me, moving me, making me feel amazing listening to it, since the first time I heard it, when their Synthesis album came out, which was 2017.

Tellingly, I Originally found her cos of gaming, with her amazing renditions of the themes from Skyrim & Dragon Age, made WAY Back.

I can't believe she's the same age as Little Sis... There's only about 6 weeks between them.

I LOVE the fact her New Video, of her New Song (released 8th March) is the very FU I've had in my head since I've been listening to her — WHICH IS THE BIGGEST FUCK YOU TO THE AMERICA'S GOT TALENT JUDGES EVER BY THE SHEER LEVEL OF HER SUCCESS... (!!!!😀😀😀😀)
