Lindsey Stirling - Inner Gold REACTION (feat. Royal & the Serpent) 

Great reaction video and thank you for your kind words. I loved hearing your interpretation of the meaning and how you made it personal. In answer to your question, I concept, co-direct, and edit all my music videos. It’s so fun.

Lindsey just doesn't put a foot wrong, this was another fantastic video and song. 'Artemis' is my faourite. 'The Arena' and 'Till the Light Goes Out' are also great. Look forward to seeing more of your reviews

I've enjoyed your reactions to Lindsey. She packs so much content into her videos that it must be a joy to react to. You touched on a Lindsey specific trait, that she has a hand in almost everything in her videos. Early on, she did it all herself, now she's gotten so big it's impossible for her to do everything. But, nothing occurs without her touch. She writes, arranges and produces the songs. She story-boards, set designs, costume designs (making many herself by hand ), choreographs, directs or co-directs, and edits all the videos. On her tours, she's the tour director with her touch on everything. She sees her work as a reflection of her and refuses to put out an inferior product. She says she's probably over-involved, but that's just the way she is. And that's just the theatrical side, throw in the marketing, personal appearances, interviews and such. Then, add in her philanthropic work, benefits, PSA's, etc. And, she started her own charity called 'The Upside Fund" while her father was in the hospital, to help others pay their medical bills. She did this on her own dime initially, and finally allowed donations so they could help more people. Where does she find the time? As to vocals, she has a lovely voice and is begining to sing more due to fan demand. She actually sees herself as a storyteller, and she studied film in college planning on becoming a director. As such, all her videos are full of narrative, content and nuance, mostly done without lyrics, which is insane. Attached please find two examples of what's going on behind the curtain at Lindsey.Inc.The contrast between the two is amazing in terrms of production levels, what isn't different is the creative genius behind both. The first, from her 2012 video, "Elements" and then from her 2022 video "Snow Waltz".to which you've already reacted. The woman is a unicorn.

THE CAT IN THE BACK ♥♥♥♥♥

The first two videos you reacted to are from her upcoming 7th album DUALITY (6/14). Maybe let’s work from the latest album ARTEMIS which is also the song title and work backwards from there or one old, one new whenever you react to her or the many artists she’s collaborated with.

Ryan Santiago performs under the name Royal and the Serpent, which she says means "Me and My Ego". She has a nice voice, but I don't care for the stage name.

You should check out Her song Shatter Me ft. Lzzy hale, it'd from her Shatter me album which was released in 2014
