Lindsey Stirling - Shatter Me ft. Lzzy Hale (Official Music Video) 

Lindsey Stirling was six years old when she began begging for violin lessons. She began getting 15 minute lessons, which no one thought she could learn from, but she mastered it. It was all their family could afford. Much longer later, she joined a rock band and began experimenting with different types of music, and began earning money for collage by performing. Later, she performed in America's Got Talent, but didn't do very well. But she wouldn't give up. Then, Lindsey was introduced to Devin Graham, who kick-stared her career. Lindsey quoted, ''He changed my life. He taught me everything I needed to know about RU-vid.'' It was a while later when Lindsey realized that she was suffering from anorexia, an eating disorder, sometimes very deadly. She noticed that something was wrong with her, and she was becoming very depressed. Finally, she found help and recovered from it. This video is about her suffering of anorexia, and how she had to turn back from her life of being a perfect ballerina. It was hard and scary, but she finally broke through the glass by doing what she loved to do: Playing violin. And on the other side of that glass that she had suffocated her self in for too long, she found what she had been looking for. A whole new world. She finally found happiness. Cheers to you, Lindsey. If you really read through all of that, thanks. Wow this is a long comment.

I swear the sound of her violin feels to me like the sounds of galaxies dancing, or atoms singing.

2024 anyone????

Lyrics: I pirouette in the dark I see the stars through a mirror Tired mechanical heart Beats 'til the song disappears Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me Shatter me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me If only the clockwork could speak I wouldn't be so alone We burn every magnet and spring And spiral into the unknown Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me Shatter me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning, but only in gray If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning, but only in gray Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me Shatter me Somebody make me feel alive and shatter me

after listening to this song i looked at my violin . My violin: "don't even think about it!."

America's Got Talent: There's no interest in a dancing musician. Lindsey Stirling: Hold my violin

i literally dont care how "cringey" or "2016" this song is, it is SUCH a banger

As a male, this song hits close to my heart. It’s a powerful and emotional collaboration between Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, two amazing artists who have overcome their own struggles and fears. The song is about breaking free from the constraints that hold us back, whether they are internal or external, and finding our true selves. The music video is stunning and captivating. It shows Lindsey as a ballerina trapped inside a snow globe, representing her feelings of isolation and helplessness. She dances with grace and passion, but she can’t escape her prison. Lzzy is the voice of her inner strength, urging her to shatter the glass that separates her from the world. She sings with a raw and powerful voice that contrasts with Lindsey’s delicate violin. The song has a beautiful melody that builds up to an explosive chorus. The violin and the guitar blend together perfectly, creating a dynamic and energetic sound that matches the lyrics. The song also has some dubstep elements that add to the intensity and drama of the story. The song is more than just a catchy tune. It’s a message of hope and courage for anyone who feels trapped or broken by their circumstances. It’s an anthem for those who want to shatter their limits and live their dreams. It’s an inspiration for those who want to feel alive. I love this song so much that I can’t stop listening to it. It makes me feel empowered and motivated to overcome my own fears and challenges. It makes me appreciate the talent and resilience of Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale, who have both faced adversity in their lives but never gave up on their passion for music. This song deserves more recognition and praise for its artistic quality and emotional impact. It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life. #ShatterMe #LindseyStirling #LzzyHale #BestSongEver #MusicIsLife

dear strangers who read this hope you have a beautiful future.

People thought dubstep on a violin was impossible, back in the day people thought turning heat into motion was impossible, but in the end, it only took a Stirling

I met Lzzy about 13 years ago after her set. I was blown away and asked if she had a vocal coach. She said YES and gave me his info! She was super friendly

2024 we are here.

This is not a song. This is an EXPERIENCE.

DON’T EVER LET THIS DIE THIS IS PURE ART

Lzzy hale has a voice that expresses so much emotion... It really brings out the heartful melody of the violin

Quit asking if we're still here in 2024, cuz' we'll be here forever

Me turning on the captions to see lyrics: The captions: [music]

Two inspirational women creating art that this world will never deserve. Beautiful. Edit: Jeez ok, those are some likes.

Not only is the music amazing, but the concept is visually stunning. Like when it shatters around her face and she breaks the "facade". Best part visually in my opinion.

I really freaking love the symbolism in this video. I don’t know if this is the main intention, but the way I see it is that the ballerina represents someone who is in an abusive or unhealthy situation. She desperately wants to be free, but the glass is keeping her in; she knows breaking it will set her free, but has also been convinced that it will keep her safe, so she stays. When she sees the bat, I believe she’s realizing how this situation has affected her perception of the outside world. And at the end she finally does break free, which takes a lot of courage, because sometimes it’s easier to stay in what you know, even when you know it is unhealthy. Idk why I felt like commenting this lol

My grand mother played Violin. she has been gone so many years now. I am 62 and I still remember.

The way I found this song again was by searching “song with ballerina in a snow globe with a violin”

2024 y’all anyone here😸

This sound is so wonderful. The person who is reading this comment, I wish you great success, health, love and happiness!

This is a balance between elegance and rock ‘n roll (possibly) It’s so amazing!

Hater: the perfect song doesn't exist Lindsey Sterling: hold my root beer Lzzy Hale: hold my whiskey, I want in on this

I cant believe this song came out 8 years ago and I'm just now hearing it. This was an incredible experience! Love it

Everytime I watch this I catch more and more details. I absolutely love how it goes from the ballerina being content only to see something beautiful and tries, too early, too soon, and in the wrong way, to get there. And how she wakes up the second time, the way her head shakes like she's not ready. And the bat showing it might be scary out here, but as the butterfly, shows it's still beautiful despite the fear. How the ballerina uses her own strength (the violin) to escape, despite how it appears the cracking in her skin is painful and terrifying. How her stance changes from the static perfect pose to something more dynamic. The moment she hesitates, hand to her cheek, as if she thinks she can go back to the safety that is killing her... And deciding to shatter instead, showing a less than perfect person underneath but free. Dancing as she wants to. And finally seeing the outside world as it is

Playing violin is not that easy. You need to have a true enthusiasm for it and a creative mind. I have been learning to play violin since 2014 but I am yet to create good melodies. Every time I listen to Lindsey's tracks, I feel how amazingly good she is!

I’m still listening to this in 2020.......still seems amazing....

Lzzy Hale's scream is just amazing🤘🤘

Whatever song she plays, Lindsey has the ability to beautify it and enchant the listeners to the very limit. ❤

I just saw Lindsey in concert and it was INCREDIBLE. There's actually such a deep story behind this: Lindsey struggled with body image and anorexia for years... She constantly was trying to be perfect and was killing herself inside but tried to appear content (the porcelain ballerina). She realized that perfection was suffocating her and she'd have to break out, even if it meant cracking through years of work for perfection, in order to be happy and free.(:

The way she says "Shatter" gives me goosebumps😭🔥🔥

I can't believe i was able to sing along with this song after all these years. Back then i didn't really understand english, i was a freaking child and i remembered almost everything. Proves that music is just magical

Every draw of a string, every pronunciation of a word, a goosebump.

You need to have a BIG imagination to do this ITS INSANE!

I think I may have "shattered" the replay button

who's still listening in 2024?

Un minuto de silencio para la gente qué aún no sabe qué está obra de arte existe

HOLY MCJEEBUS MEATBALLS! THIS IS SO GOOD. I'M SHARING THIS EVERYWHERE. Linds, this is just phenomenal.

Hale is a metal singer. That's why she can scream so intensely.

Nostalgia hit me like a truck with this song

I think this is one of her best songs just in my opinion 8 years and I am still here listening to it❤

Can't even begin to think of the budget of this video. Sooooooo well made! :D

This song kept me alive when I didn't want to be. I was isolated and abused for 6 years. This song kept me strong enough to keep breathing until I could get out.

2025 anyone????? 🎉

comeback here after 9 years, i cant believe how 9 years can make you a completely different person. I change after i hear this song 9 years ago. It gives me strength to keep living and chase the dream.. This song brings so many strength that keep me going. The message is beautiful. cant believe i was crying listening to this just like last time. Its very powerful, Lindsay is powerful. This will forever be my best motivational song!!

Am I the only one who for some reason loves the way Lzzy says “Shatter”?

Already 5 years... This song changed my life in more ways than I can tell in one comment, and still an amazing piece of music.

I think Lindsey Stirling might have spawned a whole generation of violinists on her own, and good for her!

Nothing like the combination of a rock Valkyrie and a violin virtuoso combined to make the perfect song!

When you said "Thank you for watching" I said..."No, thank YOU for creating this masterpiece ". 💖😁

So nobody’s gonna talk about how Lizzy lowkey killed it

I cannot believe this song is 10 years old

This music is great. You can listen for hours and even days. More such masterpieces!

WHO NEEDS A DJ TO DROP THE BEAT WHEN YOU GOT A VIOLIN??❤

The tone of her voice is so strong. It's like she's really angry. I can't stop hitting the replay button .

Who's still here in 2023? 🔥

One of most powerful songs i ever heard! Violin 🎻 is her weapon and he used it to touch my soul!

Music arranger: so how we gonna make the drop, should we hire marshmello or something??? Lindsey: hold ma violin

I started playing the violin a year ago. I had been wanting to start playing ever since I first heard this song. The violin wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be, and I struggled with many things (such as getting my bow straight, intonation, timing, and many other things), but I didn’t want to quit. I kept listening to Lindsey Stirling’s songs to give me motivation, so that I wouldn’t even think about stopping. The only way people can achieve great things is if they work for it. Currently, I am in the Honors Orchestra at my school. That is the highest orchestra you can be in- and just as I thought when I first started- it wasn’t going to be easy. Just two months ago, I was really having a hard time with orchestra. My grade was lowering, and I didn’t even feel like playing. The transition between beginner orchestra and Honors orchestra was a HUGE ONE. I felt like I was lower than the rest of my classmates because they had more playing experience than I did. ...then I found this song again. After listening to this, I felt that spark of motivation I had when I started. I knew I had to push myself and go past my limits to be like everyone else. I know that this sounds like a pretty fake story, but it’s 100% real. In a month, my orchestra is going to head to a few other schools to play. Either way, I really enjoy this song and it left a huge impact on my heart. Thank you, Lindsey! ❤️

When I was 12 years old, I loved that song so much. It’s crazy how the times flew by, very nostalgic

Lizzy, I've met you several times in Nashville. You're a Doll. Lindsay I have never met you but you're a fine lady. This song means so much to me because it's how I feel. Thank you Ladies.

I think I've broken the replay button

Lindsey, seriously are you a godess or something cause man those violin skills are boss

Favorite Lindsey Stirling song. It's good to be shattered once in a while. That's how we learn.

Jest niesamowita... 🙂

Lindsey Stirling electric violin sound + Lzzy Hale vocals + Music Box beat= Masterpiece.

Nobody talks about how pretty she is? She is an angel

The passion Lzzy Hale puts in her voice is amazing and Lindsey is so graceful and elegant, both are so unbelievably talented

Happy 10 years!!

Does anyone else wonder how she plays the role of a porcelain doll perfectly?? Even at the 2nd chorus when she tries to get out, she makes one of the cutest angry faces I've ever seen... 2:43

When literally almost nobody in the comments knows who Lzzy Hale is

I remember listening to this as a child. I often listened to it with my sister, we barely have any contact now and remembering the sweet old times make me listen to it again.

Heard this song in a yt shorts, heard the violin guessed it was Lindsey

Protect Lindsey at all costs. This woman is a national treasure.

I've never had a song make me feel so alive

Lindsay’s beautiful music paired with impeccable vocals from Lzzy Hale. A match made in heaven

Love this song still

I love Lzzy. I love Lindsey. This collaboration was more than a pleasant surprise. Fantastic.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS BEEN 9 YEARS??

Coming back over 5 years and realized lzzy has an uncanny resemblance to Fran Drescher! 😍

im back 6 years later....who is here in 2020 with me...

This song is phenomenal, absolutely one of my favorites from her work.

Still catches me in 2024

It looks like her runes are glowing... she must be a shadowhunter O.o

I pirouette in the dark I see the stars through me Tired mechanical heart Beats til the song disappears Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! If only the clockworks could speak I wouldn't be so alone We burn every magnet and spring And spiral into the unknown Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray If I break the glass, then I'll have to fly There's no one to catch me if I take a dive I'm scared of changing, the days stay the same The world is spinning but only in gray (Only) Somebody shine a light I'm frozen by the fear in me Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me So cut me from the line Dizzy, spinning endlessly Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me! Shatter me! Somebody make me feel alive And shatter me!

9 years later, and it only got better whit time.... This is just like wine

been listening to Lindsey & Lizzy for years and cannot get enough of them. Absolutely amazing.

*Linsey: jumps around playing the violin* *Me:makes one step and falls on face*

When I first heard this, I was nearly thrown to the floor by the amount of emotion coming from Lindsey's violin and Lzzy's vocals. Thank you for making this song; it's beautiful.

I got sober to this song. Almost 6 years ago. ❤ this song and its creators saved my life. Thank you, and thank god.

The violin sings its own song.....

Lzzy is a goddess!

Why are so many people disliking? I honestly love LZZY and Halestorm, this song is how I got to like Lindsey, she's an amazing violinist and LZZY is an amazing singer and this is a beautiful combo, unless you don't like both the violin and metal (Which you shouldn't be here in that case) then why dislike?

I remembered memorising the song when I was turning eight years old....

Lesson: If you took ballet, you already know how to skateboard,ballet makes you lack fear, no joke. The end.

This song describes the way I feel when I'm trapped in my depression and feel like I can't break free

I bet you 100% what the magic mirror in snow white sings when he's alone
