When I saw 0:22 for the first time, there was only one word in my mind: "Wow" - and this word describes the whole video. Especially if you know the stories behind the scenes, how difficult everything was, from outfit changes to editing. (And that's why I love behind the scenes stuff. With that in mind, I appreciate the videos even more).

"I am you, the dark side of your soul. The one you don't want, but the one you need when things get rough. The one to stand up to those that wrong you."

[Volvocars]

This song perfectly captures the spirit of when Egypt was ruled by the pharaohs. When it was great and its power overshadowed other nations. In this song, I hear the voice of all the rulers of ancient Egypt.

This video is so very different than anything I have seen her do. It's very earthy and dramatic with color and wind and the pyramids behind her making a true artistic video. Love it!

[PitchOnFire]

With the overall theme of "Duality", I'm thinking that the story here is "good" vs "evil", but they are all sides to the same person. Black and White being the concept of yin and yang, and perhaps Red being the individual as a whole? By the end, Red accepts both sides of herself, causing the war within herself to settle. At least, this is my immediate interpretation haha! Absolutely love this song and the use of the violin and vocals to represent the different characters!

It’s awesome to see how far she’s come since the tiny venues and ice sculpture video. I think the black outfit is extremely striking on her. All the costumes are lovely, but the black one is my favorite.

[arwamh.]

Red is like the eclipse where light and dark come together🌗

Lindsey,
You have inspired me to become a violinist. It has been 3 years and I have learned to play a lot of your songs. I am now producing my own music. Thank you so much for inspiring me and helping me find my passion ❤
Please like this comment so she can see this 🫶

This is so awesome that government of Egypt gave you permission to film this music video at the pyramids of Giza.


I was lucky enough to visit them in person last year with my parents, it was breathtaking experience.

This one was pretty different. It has more modern elements than I expected.
I thought the intro part would come later in the song.
0:08 I love that there are not a lot of instruments in this part. It feels like it describes the calmness of the desert. Nice shot of stone blocks. Nice tone of the drum.
1:24 Interesting drums sound again — like tuned down frame drum. The texture of the fabric on her dress matches the lines on the pyramids. Nice detail.
1:55 The wavy color pattern matches the wavy texture of the dunes. Environmental fashion :D
3:31 That is a pretty reflection in the eyes.

Imagine being able to say "I filmed a music video in freaking EGYPT." God she's come a long way from filming in an ice sculpture in Colorado.

I love this song, I find it playing in my head through out the day. She plucks the strings kind of saying 'wait for this, wait for this, it's going to be good, wait for this, wait for this, then a wall of music consisting of pleasant sound bursts on the scene!

A wall of sound with more energy than a festival bursts on the scene, such that you don't want to just tap your feet, you want to move with it!

The dance reminds me of how couples dance as they dip and dive - appreciating each other, only her partner is the violin, and yet it is not, just the expression of her dreams.

The mysterious choir type singing, wonderful dance movements emphasizing her passion for the music while playing the instrument behind a back drop of pyramids as wind flows through a gorgeous outfit. Wow!

The evil twin theme walks you into this mysterious landscape and the vibe of the choir song just takes you there. And what takes you there, is that magnificent smile on her face as she knows she is nailing this performance, like she does every day!

What a treat, nobody sounds like her! I absolutely applaud and appreciate the photography done here, this is one of videos that uses arial drone cameras to create a series of stunning panorama.

You do not expect it always, but it is a thrill when you get to see it like that! Awesome.

What a wonderful team, I know we will enjoy what ever they do in the future after watching that:).

I hope YouTube gives her a raise or more money, I can't find any better creator to watch doing what she does.

This video caught my eye and I think others will enjoy it. It is modeled after a lot of equally enjoyable work that millions love, nice job.

If you love this song, I be sure to check out "Joy to the World", a rendition I have never heard before that I love as much as this song!

My teacher put roundtable rival on in gym class, and i right away recognized the song. i was so happy, can't wait till this is out! 2 days left

[audiophileman]

Like an Egyptian Princess of ancient times, you rise from the sands. Golden notes flow from your violin. The wind sweeps the colorful waves of cloth you're wearing. Your body's movements embrace the setting. It is genuine art. ❤

[lindseyb]

I have a theory based on color symbolism in Egyptian culture. BlackDress!Lindsey is not the “evil twin”— in ancient Egypt, the color black was symbolic of new beginnings and health, representative of the waters and rich soils of the Nile River. Red, on the other hand, was symbolic of death— it represents blood and arid, dry soil, and was often associated with chaos and destruction.

[elsamartin]

Her hair. The dresses. SHE IS THE VIBE

[wardg]

Yin and yang .. I am decades long hard rock/ metal fan. YET Lindsey is my guilty secret pleasure I guess. Addicted to her uniqueness. Her music talent, mixed with her dance motions. Like a cobra swaying back and forth. She has me mesmerized. Another thumbs up!

[TimothyMohan]

Imagine if she put down her violin after Americas got talent? I just saw her live last night for the first time… This woman is so incredibly talented. Thank you for never giving up Lindsey. It’s fantastic to see people do well and persevere beyond anything they ever thought possible. Continued success, and don’t you let that violin go girl! 🙏

[Bremen]

The only thing more mesmerizing than Lindsey in this video is her DRESSES. This is so amazing. The power and skill...I can't say enough.

[ZainR]

The editing, the transitions between light and dark, the scenery, costumes, the lighting all of it was so fricking good!
I think she's gotten more comfortable/confident in her vocals because those vocals were strong!
I felt I was on a journey in this song - and not just because she takes us to Egypt in this 😅
