One thing I really love about Lindsey is her willingness to work with indie artists. It's a great symbiotic relationship.

[SarahPagan]

I realize the message of this song is "be yourself; you don't have to follow the crowd" but I do want to say that the synchronized choreography is AMAZING and *so sharp!*. Very crisp, clean lines from each dancer.

[Stitchgirly]

Lindsey, I don't know if you are actually going to see this comment or not, But I want you to know that you are the reason I started playing the Violin in 5th grade. I'm just about to graduate high school in just a few weeks, and I've been playing the Violin for 8 years now, and if it wasn't for you, I most likely wouldn't be playing the violin now. You are my inspiration, and my reason for playing. I'm hoping to see you on tour this summer, but I don't know if I will be able to, because of reasons I don't wish to explain. (atleast not here where everybody can see it.) But I love watching you so much, and you are my favorite music related youtuber, and my favorite youtuber overall. Thank you so much!!!!

The last few months I’ve chosen to prioritize myself, and that has lead me to becoming a full time artist. I’ve been in denial that I’m really doing it, afraid to fully accept this new version of me. Last night I came to grips with the “creative call” and am finally embracing myself as the creative I am! This song was the perfect way to celebrate that. I’m looking at the unknown as opportunities instead of challenges. I want to give a shoutout to anyone else learning to accept and follow their inner gold. You’re amazing and you have so much to share with the world.🌻

I really admire how you’ve cut your own path Lindsey! I’ve been a fan since AGT and I hope to see you perform live one day. Keep going! You’re doing phenomenal. 😄

[SkyeTanner]

I love how it's like, "my inner gold says go this way. I'm going my own way."

Lyrics

I can hear my name when the wind blows
Calling for me, for me to ride
I can hear my heartbeat and it goes
Badadum, beating like a drum

Badadum, yeah
Badadum, yeah
Badadum, beating like a drum

It comes back to me sounding like a song
I knew once
Singing louder than the tales I've been told
Each note is a song of my inner gold

Oh follow
My inner gold
Oh follow
Oh follow my inner gold

I can hear my name when the wind blows
Calling for me, for me to ride
I can hear my heartbeat and it goes
Badadum, beating like a drum
Calling out for me on an echo
On and on, I run and I ride
Hear my heartbeat louder and it goes
Badadum, beating like a drum

Badadum, yeah
Badadum, yeah
Badadum, beating like a drum

Badadum, yeah
Badadum, yeah
Badadum, beating like a drum

It comes back to me sounding like a song
I knew once
Singing louder than the tales I've been told
Each note is a song of my inner gold

Oh follow
My inner gold
Oh follow
Oh follow my inner gold

[Its-CarlyAmmon]

Lindsey you always leave me in awe 🥹 The way you showed the inner gold inside you trying to come out is genius. I love how it shows that we all have it inside even if we try to hide it. This is exactly what I need right now, idk how you knew.. My health has completely declined & I'm literally living in the dark feeling like I've lost myself again. The dark warehouse, outfits & strict movements are like after you've been trapped in society & people that judge us for everything without even knowing us. When you embraced the golf seeping out & opened the door I felt a surge of inspiration, the light went right into my heart. It's such a powerful anthem for reminding me to embrace the gold & cover myself with it. The imagery is absolutely stunning with the gold outfit & use of the light! Ryan & her voice are just perfect. The grunge plus the gold sparkle is a strong image for "wearing your inner gold". That is what I'm calling it now. I'll keep reminding myself to wear my inner gold 💛
Thank you for this song 🥹😍

[ashlynmccathy]

I love the arrow in gold she sees after she falls: “Failures” are never truly failures. They provide us an opportunity for new growth💛

[ToothlessTemeraire]

I can hear my name when the wind blows
calling for me, for me to ride
I can hear my heartbeat and it goes
badadum beating like a drum
badadum, yeah
badadum, yeah
badadum beating like a drum
It comes back to me sounding like a song
I knew once
Singing louder than the tales I've been told
Each note is a song of my inner gold
Oh follow my inner gold
Oh follow, oh follow my inner gold

I can hear my name when the wind blows
calling for me, for me to ride
I can hear my heartbeat and it goes
badadum beating like a drum
Calling out for me on an echo
Running out and running away (?)
Hear my heartbeat louder and it goes
badadum beating like a drum
badadum, yeah
badadum, yeah
badadum beating like a drum
badadum, yeah
badadum, yeah
badadum beating like a drum

It comes back to me sounding like a song
I knew once
Singing louder than the tales I've been told
Each note is a song of my inner gold
Oh follow my inner gold
Oh follow, Oh follow my inner gold

[alfredolopezbautista]

I used to be a fan, but after this masterpiece I'm a whole air conditioner.🥰

[firemage]

Breaking free from the regular mold that people expect from you and being your own self!!! That is what I got from this awesomely fantastic music video!!! Great job Lindsey!!!!

[jordacartunes]

Here's a fun activity: each time you watch this video, pick one specific dancer and try to follow just her throughout the video.

[lionfan]

i think the message of the song is.. dont let how people judge you get you down.. take it all in stride and just do you...eventually you will come out on top.

[lunarain]

I love all of the little I notices the books looked like they had days of the week 1:26, and when I went back to get a closer look, oh boy. 0:47 There are no names, just numbers, so being judged as just another number in the world by others every day of the week. This reflects life so much. And your interactions during the dance with Royal ( hope I got that right) are perfect. You both are doing the same thing of trying to be perfect for society, but when you realize there is more to yourself than you knew, you tried to show someone else. She didn’t understand at first, but left the first seed to help her real, before you left. Gah this whole thing is incredible!❤❤❤

I also forgot to mention the little detail at 2:21 where the date your character breaks free and lets the gold shine out, is also the songs release date! Lindsey you are bloody brilliant and I love it!

[ZainR]

I love how coming off of Eye of the Untold Her and how you were judged there, the warehouse and you being in sync with the dancers represents, to me, how you were being pressured by the music industry to be put into a box and fortunately, you followed your Inner Gold. Which was totally worth it! That's what i took away from the music video and I was happy to make a reaction of it on Instagram 😊

Lindsey continues to prove she is one of if not the most unique & creative artist out there today. In this age of cookie cutter pop music, auto tuning, & AI creations, the true art like this is inspiring.

[jasons]

I think the song means that if you let your inner light out, it would envelope you tjose arouns you, and spread that light to others, repeating the process.

[amihped]

Wow, the combination of violin play, beat and vocals here are just amazing. I absolutely LOVE this. Golden star to both Stirling and Royal & the Serpent.

[yumpox]

3:03 Just how? My knees and feet hurt from walking in flats, how does Lindsey even do this, balancing on high heels while playing a violin?
