I see a lot of people asking why are you doing this to your body, but as an artist and a ex dancer, I know how it feels to WANT to learn something so bad that you train everyday and the process to that is painful, your body is not used to that and that's why it hurts, but if you don't, you'll always ask yourself the "what if". I admire your braveness and you will to perfom this. It's amazing.

I cry every time I watch this video. Last year I was hospitalised for and eating disorder and the road to recovery has been a physical and mental battle every day. Seeing someone who I look up to, someone who I’ve listed to since I was seven, tell me I’m braver than I know while watching her overcome her own demons means so much to me. Lindsey I love you and I hope you know how healing your music has been for me.

It breaks my heart people in the comments don't see the beauty in this, and question the why. This is one of the few extended looks into what this woman does to prepare for her art. The sacrifices, the challenges she overcomes, that what she does in every one of her videos is a lot harder and more taxing than we think. One of the few people on earth that can play this beautifully, of the even fewer that can play while dancing, one of the few that can now say she can play and dance suspended by her hair. All of that and she made herself vulnerable to share it all with us. This is beautiful. This is inspiring.

I'm a licensed massage therapist so I pray you were getting scalp and full body massages while doing this.... You're so talented and your heart is soo full of love for the music and dance when a lot of people truely lack that. You're an inspiration and a roll model for millions. No matter what you do... or decide you can't do, you will never disappoint us. 💜

Watching this was the hardest thing ever. Seeing someone as talented & beautiful like her cry was extremely hard. I have struggled through my own pains for 5 years with the last 3 months being the worse, but watching her do this was just unreal. All in the name of art & music. She is one heck of a person!

Sitting with you in quiet solidarity

Lindsey, you are incredible and truly an inspiration. I struggle with anxiety and depression and I can’t even sit down to write the stories I am dying to without doubt and nervous reactions, whether I will ever publish or not. But seeing you struggle through your training and crying each time you just pull up to the “gym” or whatnot, it has given me comfort and strength in knowing that you are right: I can do hard things, because I have done them before. I am strong and I can overcome. To the “why would someone even want to do this if it hurts so much?” That is human nature, and the pain is just one of the kinds of costs we pay to achieve something new or grand. A ballerina destroys their feet to dance as gracefully as they do, bodybuilders undergo training and intense restrictions to enhance their body’s strength, even musicians and artists give up countless hours and dedicated brain power to hone their crafts. Everyone that strives for excellence or for their goal or, in this case, vision, has to sacrifice. Yes it hurts, but she is okay and if there was that much risk why would anyone do it? Yea there are less painful, more conventional ways to hang, but this is unique and practical for violin playing and full movement for dance. So if that’s the case, why not learn this? It looks pretty amazing, btw

I admire the conviction, and maybe I'm projecting here, but I can't help but think that putting yourself through abuse no matter what isn't...the best.

It may seem like it's destroying your mind and body but when you accomplish your goal, you will feel stronger than ever before. This feeling is what makes all of this worth its price.

I am a teacher, and I have used your videos as a way to teach my students about hard work, pushing thorugh and seeing what is behind every peice of art and preformance. I start by showing the clip from your concert. They allways assume it came easy to you and that you did not feel any pain because you are a superhuman. Then I show your vlog and they quickly change their mind. Thank you for showing us every part of the process, the ups and downs, joy and pain. I have followed your journey since you started and I am SO PROUD of you.

I've been a long-time admirer of your work and this video has made me cry more than most movies. I think you are one of the greatest artists of our time, and your value is priceless. Keep up the fantastic work and when you are down and feeling like you want to quit, take a look at all the comments and people that are behind them that support you. You are a true inspiration to all.

From seeing the comments, I got to say, nothing wrong with either giving up something if you can't physically and/or mentally handle something. Some things just aren't for some people. BUT there's nothing wrong with working through things like this either. Some people are like "why should she put herself through this if it hurts?" Well ask that to all the other professionals who've learned this or heck, people from Cirque Du Soleil. None of them was just born with the pain tolerance, they had to learn it. It's definitely no walk in the park, but it CAN be done.

I’m a disabled athlete and there’s one thing I learned from attending a symposium from someone who trains Olympians: there’s a difference between growing pain (as in you’re gaining strength) and literal pain. If you’re shaking, sore, fatigued, burning or your muscles are swollen, these are normal when you are training. If you experience - at any time during training - a sudden intense, sharp pain that makes you gasp and is only relieved when you stop, that’s your body telling you to stop. No more. Doing it more is a detriment to your body. You can ruin your joints that is only shown in the future. She could have done herself a real disservice by not listening to her body.

Well done, lindsey. I know a lot of people are struggling to understand why you did it. But, it's obvious you would have felt regret if you had given up. What you created was absolutely beautiful and inspiring. You're a very strong and resiliant woman. Well done ❤️

With reverence, humility, encouragement, suffering, perseverance, and ultimately, accomplishment...this is a great testimony for ALL young girls.

I've never seen someone hanging onto their hair, so you basically just proved the impossible to be possible for me. Thanks for being a reallife superhero

I have been diagnosed as I most likely have ALS. There are days I don't want to do therapy, exercise, because I am so tired. Thank you Lindsey for becoming an inspiration to me.

You are such a strong, talented and amazing woman and I want to thank you for you music which brought me through many hard times including losing my mom last year to cancer. Your strength shown in this video to overcome is inspiring, and the video after came out amazing, thank you for pushing though and being a role model for so many of us. ❤️ Since 2012 and seen you live twice ❤️

Thank you Lindsey, for you example. Yesterday I was saying "I can't do this" to myself but today I saw your video and I have a big "I can do this" in my heart. Deeply thank you. You are amazing!!

You are so strong!!!!! I'm crying right now, you are an inspiration , thanks for all the beautiful music you give us, and hope you will still growing and giving us more of your art

it takes true courage to look at a barrier and say "I can/will do this" and its so inspirational to see your journey to accomplish your goal thank you for sharing your hardships and best of luck. personally i think there should be more of this out there too many people give up because something is hard or hurts and you proved us all wrong and hung by your hair and played a violin cant honestly top that. truly legendary

The times when I'm most tempted to give up are usually the moments I'm about to make a breakthrough. I'm so glad you pushed on, because you are so brave, so tenacious, and even through the pain and anxiety, you have a vision of what will come of this. I love you and admire you so much.

That is the truth, it doesn't matter how many times we fail. No, what really matters is never giving in to our failures and giving up. We never truly fail until we give up, if we push through and continue to overcome every challenge in life we grow stronger. This not only applies to our lives but also our Spiritual life with God. Our Lord will test us, and getting back up and overcoming all the trials put before us helps us grow stronger as Christians and only strengthens our relationship with God.

Remeber all those years ago that AGT said you wouldn't amount to anything? Remeber that moment that you proved them wrong? You are something you are the best violinist i have seen. The things you do are amazing. Keep your head up you got this all your fans love you girl keep pushing

Thank you for sharing this journey with us, the determination to prove to yourself that you can do something you wanted to achieve despite how difficult it was. I legitimately started crying because I've lost a lot in the last few years and it made me come down hard on myself. But this reminds me that I can keep trying and do the things I want to achieve still. Thank you for inspiring us for so many years.

Lindsey, you are truly amazing! I started listening to your music 6 years ago, and I always feel your soul through it. You are always lifting the bar to amazing heights, and it reminds everyone we can do it too. I wish all the best and will be praying for you!

I was kind of disappointed from reading the comments..everything we do and love involves pain.. u could see how passionate she was and how much she wanted to achieve the impossible and watching her do that performance was amazing and inspiring.

"everything we do and love involves pain" you talk about non intentional pain. But in the video she definetelly wants to hurt herself, which may indicate some mental problems.

@@games4us132 i never saw any indication she wants to hurt herself. She wanted to do something which unfortunately involved pain but pain is not what she was after, just something she had to endure to get to her goal. Hunger is pain when losing weight, exercise is pain when starting to work out. But that pain isn't the goal, it's where improvement is.

To see lindsey so upset just... kills me. I know she can do anything, she's amazing, an amazing violinist, dancer, and she can do everything she does better than me. It's ok to cry, don't worry.

You are amazing Lindsey. One for doing this at all (in the amount of time you did it!), two for having the courage to show all the struggles and difficulty and pain and determination it takes to go after a dream. incredible.

Thank you for sharing this ❤️ It was hard watching you cry, but seeing your determination and just how many lessons it took for you to be confident in yourself was inspiring.

As someone who suffers with depression, this was honestly very inspiring. I’ve looked up to Lindsey for the longest time as both a person and a violinist. She is an amazing artist who doesn’t get enough recognition for her originality and talent.

I love how you prayed, it really shows that you have a testimony.

Your stubborn determination and bravery is an exceptional inspiration to me. NOTHING comes easy, and it is inspiring to see you overcoming the hardest of trials and coming out on top.

This video is more powerful than the ultimate performance... amazing & genuine. Bravo and thank you Lindsey.

Gosh dang it Lindsey...all the pain...gosh dang...the performance was spectacular. Breathtaking and ethereal.

Well I learned one thing by watching this video. I can't stand too see lindsey cry it just breaks my hart. I never seen her so emotional. My hart actually wanted too leap too her. Am glade too see her happy when she was finally comfortable and her video was proof on how great things happens when we don't quite. Good job lindsey your honestly a precious soul.

Lindsey put her mind to it and was determined to succeed. Thank you for your inspiring message at the end. I've started as a new nurse this year. It's been a really tough year. 💔 Your videos inspire me to find the power in and above to continue to be the best I can for myself and my patients. ♥️

I love how honest lindsey is. I always imagined someone like her to be unshakeable with all that she's accomplished. So it's a warning experience to see a hero of yours struggle and breakdown. So I will push myself and follow Lindsey's example instead of comparing myself. Thank you so much for your art and bravery lindsey. I wish you the best and will pray that I can get past my own hurdles as well!

God has given you such a beautiful gift for music & performing. Thank you for sharing that with us! Stay safe in your training and may the Lord bless you & keep you forever ❤️❤️

@@Cryogenius333 If I were someone like Lindsey who makes her living by: A. Performing live B. Performing a special way by playing violin while dancing. C. Had the talent and dancing ability and hair length to do it. D. Had the determination and strength of character to fight thru the painful training process. Yes, I would. Fact is she made her name by doing something special. This is nothing more than a logical extension of that.

I love you. Thank you for pushing yourself thru showing us we can prevale But don't ever ever ever do this again. The pain in your face transcends thru the song. It was a beautiful show. The best. But I don't want you to hurt like that ever again. I think your the most talented and beautiful entertainer out there.

Thank you for sharing your struggles and your determination. As someone struggling to push myself towards my dreams and doubting myself, this was exactly what I needed to see. Thank you for being unafraid to hide who you are, your faith, your pains, and your determination. You are an inspiration to us all and a true follower of Christ. Thank you.

I’m super proud of you for trying something new and showing us your journey. The self talk is just amazing and showing us the vulnerable side. I just want to hug you and tell you there’s other ways, but I know you wanted to do this so more power to you

All of Lindsey’s messages are so powerful and I believe I speak on behalf of many when I say that they feel so empowering. I am so grateful for her music, voice and messages. Truly inspiring.

@@powergirl4736 I doubt that anyone who is mentally sound, older than 16 and NOT a religious zealot will argue this point with any passion, but this is not the point of OC. Happiness is unnecessary but we want it because it feels good; sadness is also unnecessary but people typically try to avoid it because it feels bad. The appeal of doing something is ultimately weighed by pros and cons, and hair hanging seems to have a LOT of cons. I feel like the only pros one could seek from this are inflating their ego and clout. Sure we set superficial goals for ourselves every day to challenge ourselves and create interesting experiences but there are ways to entertain yourself that are not so unsavory/abrasive.

Lindsey, I just watched the finish product from all this incredible hard work you went through. I didn't know this behind the scenes video existed, and watched the finished performance first. I had no idea how much pain you went through, to create it, but I could see just how much work you must have put into it to create it for us. What a beautiful performance you created. It is truly incredible, and you have made it immortal for all time!!! I didn't think my respect for you could have gotten higher, and you just proved me wrong. So well done!!!

I'm in a hard times in my life theese days... I'm coming here to get inspiration and to get stronger... You are so great Lindsey. You are amazing.

That isn't the same thing at all. There is tremendous catharsis through pain though. If you can bury a best friend and a parent you'd be surprised how much you can endure and how much testing yourself can help you get over something. Athletes go through this too. Think about boxers or MMA fighters. Think about soldiers. Think about a doctor trying to save a patient for hours on end straight. How people choose to inflict pain on themselves to test themselves and make themselves stronger is how humans are wired. Whenever you go to a gym you are ripping your muscles up - it is when they HEAL that you become stronger. This is no different.

It's not about the pain it's about the result. And if you think it's worth the effort. I have to deal with something similar for my art/passion. But in my case it's about the risk.

You are an inspiration Girl. Keep Doing what God and your heart lead you to do. Never give up on that no even when no one understands even you.

To push yourself to the limit is what made humanity what it is today. People never needed to create anything besides shelter and weapons to hunt their food, but here we are. She wants to push herself so she can make something beautiful for her and she will. People dont need to skydive, they dont need to walk on a rope above a 1000 meter pit, they dont need to race in F1 cars with 400km/h, they dont need to fight in an MMA ring, but they do. It is pushing yourself and your body to the limits.
