Lindsey Stirling - The Arena (Official Music Video)

[@mboaz4730]

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.” - Theodore Roosevelt

[@ivanm222]

Can we have word on symbolism of this video? I find the abstraction of the video to be just the right amount for something like this. My view: the start of the video starts with a quote about critics and the arena. Then The Lovers appear and beautiful dance in the arena. The crowd doesn't care, they look bored, and are not interested. The Warriors who were in the crowd are now those in the arena, fighting. Crowd goes wild with excitement, they don't care about the beautiful dance, but they love the fight to the death, they cheer. The Mother, cheering for the fight, is now the one in their place, in the arena. She and her daughter are being attacked for being different (they are the only ones wearing horns). At the end, everyone sees them self. They are the crowd. And when they realize that, The Lovers continue to dance, fighters drop swords and do capoeira, and I am not sure what exactly The Mother does. A strong message about how people care less about the truly beautiful things in this world. How we care more about brutality, war, pain, and we are eager to judge and change others. BUT when we are in the place of the ones being judged, then we blame the society, the crowd. But we are that society, we are that crowd, if each of us would change themselves, stop trying to hurt others, and stop being such hypocrites, everyone life would be so much easier, and we could commit to more important things in this life.

[@Driziel]

why, WHY isn't this the top comment? Sir, you deserve a round of applause. or fifteen.

[@ivanm222]

Actually...no. :) I think there is more about the ending. The Lovers represent Love. When you do what you truly love something beautiful comes from it (the dance, Lindsay really did awesome!). And even if no one cares, if there is no one to see, YOU should do what YOU love. The Warriors represent aggressive energy. Energy that we all have inside of us, biologically imprinted. But when they see themselves, sitting next to each-other, like brothers, it is shown that energy should not be used against ourselves. But on the other hand we should not try to 'turn it off'. But use that aggressive energy and focus it to make something, and as an example capoeira is a mix of dance and fighting. The Mother represents nurturing energy, doing everything to protect her child. But when she sees themselves in the crowd, she realizes that she is not doing enough. She is protecting her child from the effects, but not from the cause, since her daughter is still sitting in the arena. And then she takes her hand, and lead her out of the arena, that round thingie is the only exit out of it in the video. So, maybe something along these lines: Do what you Love, do what you Will. (but try to understand those terms Love and Will in a much broader sense). Don't care about others, about neigh-sayers, dance even when no one is watching but yourself. Accept yourself. We all know that aggressivity is marked as something bad and we are always trying to 'kill' that part of us. BUT, look at the world? For society that speaks so loudly about aggressivity , we are doing the exact opposite of that. Maybe that is the reason of Mad Max theme in the video. Like a pipe with running water out of it. We are trying to stop the water, but it just spills everywhere. If we are to accept that, as part of ourself, maybe we can focus it. And instead of water spilling everywhere, maybe we can attach a hose and redirect it to water some plants :) And the most important thing. Lets not teach our kids the same patterns of behavior we were taught. It is clearly not working. Take the children our of the arena, and lets try some other approach, because the current one got us to a not so great place.

Her shows feature prerecorded music while dancing. This doesn't change most of her art to me.

Many of her fans really like to see her dance. It might also give her arms a chance to relax a little in between other song performances. :)

You are my best inspiration, when I first started watching you, I ran as fast as I can to my dads room and ask if I could go for violin lessons to be good like you. He said yes, this is the first time he said yes to anything so major! I quickly dialed a tutor and my dad said that I have to attend piano tutors first, then violin. I started to remember some things when I was young almost the same as your story, I attended ballet class, I won an award for it, I was able to get my first violin. Here I am, 13 years old, trying my best to study in school, and everyday, my teacher would say I had a high grade, especially in Music. You are the reason I started doing and becoming who I really am, you inspired me to do the best I can, and you inspired me to chase my dreams. I now attend violin tutors and I attend badminton classes because it helps my hips and stuff in moving, I've gotten bruises before trying to do all this, but I didn't give up, I stood back up and continued what I did. Thank you Lindsey, so much, for being an inspiration to me, I wouldn't be here right now without you! You probably won't see this, but good luck in your life! May all your dreams come true!

"El hombre en la arena" de Theodore Roosevelt “No es el crítico quien cuenta, ni el que señala con el dedo al hombre fuerte cuando tropieza o el que indica en qué cuestiones quien hace las cosas podría haberlas hecho mejor. El mérito recae exclusivamente en el hombre que se halla en la arena, aquel cuyo rostro está manchado de polvo, sudor y sangre, el que lucha con valentía, el que se equivoca y falla el golpe una y otra vez, porque no hay esfuerzo sin error y sin limitaciones. El que cuenta es el que de hecho lucha por llevar a cabo las acciones, el que conoce los grandes entusiasmos, las grandes devociones, el que agota sus fuerzas en defensa de una causa noble, el que, si tiene suerte, saborea el triunfo de los grandes logros y si no la tiene y falla, fracasa al menos atreviéndose al mayor riesgo, de modo que nunca ocupará el lugar reservado a esas almas frías y tímidas que ignoran tanto la victoria como la derrota”

[@Spooky_Psyche]

On her Brave Enough tour, she talked about how the judges said she would never be able to fill up a venue, then they turned on all the lights towards the full theater of thousands of people. It was funny. Not to mention, I think Lindsey is literally like the only act from AGT that went on to become hugely popular and she only made it to the quarter finals 😂

[@AnnapurnaMoffatt]

True, though as an amateur violinist, I will point out that she has a tendency to lean the palm of her hand on the neck of her violin, which is not good form. I did that at the beginning, and it took my teacher A LOT of work to train that out of me. I like Lindsey's music, but I always zoom in on whether or not she's doing one of the things I was taught not to do.

[@FFunez]

Annapurna Moffatt maybe that doesnt really matters, she seems to do fine, but i dont know anything about violins, so I might be wrong.

For the record, I tried searching "Sempar Fide". No direct references except for redirections to "Semper Fidelis".

I thought it was that they felt like they were being forced to do these things, that they had to fight or dance or go through this because all these other people were forcing them to do it and judging them, but in the end they realized that the only people/person who was in crowd and urging them on to dance and fight was themselves. As a way of saying, society doesn't make you do things.

I think that is what the video is exactly what is saying. Everyone is seeing things in a different light, and I think that was purposely done. It’s critical reading, but for the eyes and ears.

[@grahamsmallwood]

Okay, I think I have this one down after watching it over and over. Whether you are a performer, a person with antlers, or the only pirate at the party, you can feel like you are being judged and hated by everyone around you. But you need to realize that the only person in the crowd whose approval you actually need is your own. Then you can do/be what/who you want and be happy.

[@grahamsmallwood]

The "they become the only people in the crowd" took me a while to figure out. It is a really cool statement even if I have it slightly wrong.

[@stephen3477]

+Liona Kuka I think Derek was on it

[@Catz1a]

Derek is not the star though he's one of the dancers so he's on every season anyway

[@adventureswithkat3884]

+Catz1a I read something saying he isn't coming back this season

[@AshMae264]

Her movement is so lithe and graceful 😰😊

[@rogerfinney6809]

I agree. I'm in awe of some of the things she did on DWTS.

[@je774]

I agree but watch Mairead Nesbitt and she'll truly have you believing fairies and nymphs exist among us

[@natalielenderos3391]

Ashley Jones is telling nothing but the truth

[@barneysaggers1637]

Outstanding! The way that you play violin and combine dancing is what can only be described as breathtaking. Love your work Lindsey, carry on forever please

[@WNShadow814]

i like the change at 2:45 The crowd don't matter. The only one that needs to be satisfied is yourself

[@jbrown2908]

Sometimes, we're our own worst critics!

[@mrrustygray]

When will we see Lindsey on Dancing with the Stars? She already has Derek.

[@charleso5768]

she already has professional training so unless they count her as a pro she probably will never be on DWTS

[@monicaleandro6154]

rusty gray terra from little la has a professional dance background. I'm sure Lindsey can dance for dwts

[@waynehinkley6557]

She should definitely be on DWTS. Then I would watch. She would be trhe Champion hands down.

1:16 Ladies and gentlemen, Lindsey Stirling does not have a backbone.

[@rhaadcofboktor]

At first I was angry, then I watched from the time you posted and I have to agree.

[@milahart7860]

rhaadcofboktor It was meant as a compliment on her flexibility, but I can see how it could be taken as an insult in the figurative way. My bad.

[@milahart7860]

***** I wish I was that flexible. But no, I have a very stubborn backbone that won't let me bend down to grab a pencil. X)

[@lilybird6868]

Me too, I mean, I`d love to dance, but no, my body won`t let me XD

[@reemscrazystuff8525]

+Mia Elli SSO my body would lol it let me sprain my sister arm LOL
