I don't want to be someone's sun; I want to be someone's moon, the small bit of light that remains with them when it's dark, comforts them, and lights their way. I want to be the song of their caged bird, and if I'm lucky, they will be the same for me.

My most recent cage just flew open this week and I find myself listening to this song again. 💜

This video is entirely symbolic. The “cage” (the room) and its walls is actually the journey of life. As you can tell, she doesn’t escape from it just like we cannot escape from life’s constraints and problems. The violin lights the bulbs and candles, bringing with it warmth, light, and happiness into the dark and cold room. She never escapes but she finds joy within her cage and is content. Whoever you are, I hope you find your violin in your cage.

"You can't take darkness out of a dark room, but you can fill it with light." ~ Lindsey Stirling When the world plunges into darkness, Guardians come to Earth, people whose aura is indigo. They carry the overwhelming power of light, kindness and warmth to this world. Her smile kindles hearts, her music changes people for the better. Each person has a guardian angel that protects him, and we do not know what form he can take. Today is an old man, tomorrow is a young girl. But do not let its appearance confuse you: an angel is fiercer than any dragon. But not in battle, but in attempts to reach out to us and remind who we really are. For only we ourselves have complete control over the world that we create around us.

If I were a bird I would glide to the sky I would brush the wispy clouds as I fly by And then I would dive through wind and breeze And I would feel the earth as it lives and breathes I’d slice through the air with fiery wings And against the white sun I would begin to sing And through the hush of the air my story would go Whispering secrets it would blow Then the the rivers would gurgle and the trees would hiss Of the dark swirling depths of my soul’s abyss Gold eyes ablaze and bronze talons alight To the sun I would soar as it sinks into night And as my soul burns from it’s scorching heat My freedom as a bird would be complete To the Heavens I’d go to finish my song Melodies drifting all nightlong And after I died everyone would know Of the bird whose eyes would always glow Who’s secrets were kept locked within Her flamed wings never to be seen again

Unless you are Lindsey Stirling who can light up candles with the beautiful sound of a violin, I do not recommend lighting candles if you are stuck in an air-tight room with no escape...

To me, this song is of overcoming fear and depression in a very long battle. When I hear it, I feel kind of sad but stronger at the same time.

I've always loved this song, but it's taken on a whole new dimension this year. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talents with the world, Lindsey!

this song takes me places =)))

Something about that stuttering synth in the background is really nostalgic. Love it!

It's so beautiful when, at the end, she's playing a violin in the middle of a circle of glowing light. Lindsey Stirling, you are incredible.

3:03 she's like okay that was fun but how am I gonna get outta here

Amazing..shes trapped but she finds a way to light her darkness with her music. i feel like its not only music, but every person have this thing which lights their darkness. Music, drawing, writing. thats the power of art guys.

Listening to this song at 5:30 in the morning when the morning birds are freshly singing alongside her violin is such a soothing atmosphere.❤️✨

Her music is transformative. I love listening to her music to be uplifted.

This made me cry. What a powerful wordless tale. WHEW! I can relate to this. Trapped in a cage & the only source of 'light' is what you create. You keep making music because it's the one little joy you can nurture into all of your happiness. It's kind of hard not to feel this way when the world can be such a dark place. Keep creating beauty, & the world will never run out! It's up to each of us to create our own light.

When I listen to this song, I can't help but think of someone trying to protect someone else that is hurt or in danger. When the music gets faster, that when the protected begins fighting, and when it slows back down, he/she goes and helps/tends to the victim. Idk, it's just a weird thought of mine. XD

Lindsey, your violin is truly magical, powered by your kind heart and spirit.

What I find the most amazing about the song is the inspiration. We are limited only by what we BELIEVE we cannot do. Therefore, we can do anything if we simply believe we can.

Lindsey, I have been having a very hard time lately. My marriage of 15 years has ended, I have 2 teenagers, one of which is adopted. Sometimes when I am at my wits end I will pull up your videos, and your musical style and the sound of your violin always brings me back. The way you seem to absolutely love to play. the fact of your cute little smile. Those things are what make you truly a treasure to this Earth. I just wanted you to know how you inspire some of your fans... and I am truly a fan. How does someone get to collaborate with you? My daughter has an amazing talent with her vocals. She is the adopted one and is a very troubled youth with nothing but her aspiration to be an artist keeping her grounded to this world.

The violin music alone is incredible. The dancing is always so lively and Lindsey Stirling has this fresh happy look all the while, as if this is her natural state, twirling about beautifully with a violin, playing the sweetest of music... all of it together is a nearly overwhelming experience like nothing else I've seen. Thank you, Lindsey Stirling and crew, for your art, music, passion, and inspiration!

This song has saved my life so many times. Thank you Lindsey Stirling for being there for me in my darkest times.

I feel like I can relate to this song. Everywhere I go, I feel trapped by the thoughts of myself and others. I feel isolated from people who exclude me without any reason to. This song helps me to relax and just remember to put myself infront of those who don't matter to me. Keep up the good work Lindsey. You've been an inspiration.

I can understand the history you wanna tell with this song. Applauses for you.

I remember seeing her perform this live back in 2013, was an amazing "change of pace" moment. Great track.

This is my favorite song by her, I listen to it every time everything feels hopeless and somehow it makes it melt away.

I see this video as the reflection of someone inner emotional state , the wall representing the barriers you set upon yourself but instead of searching to break them you have to find that "light" within yourself and once you find it you will forget about those walls and find your inner peace. Music is such an amazing thing , even more so in Miss Stirling hand.

I can't help my heart in tears. its so very emotional song.

The music she plays is enchanting but there's always that one other thing that makes her music shine, her smile.

This song makes me think that she wants to be free, but doesn't know her purpose, so she looks for it. But she finds her talent and it can be found anywhere, even in a box. But when she discovers her violin, she's in awe. Then she played it, and she found who she was truly meant to be and her whole life lights up. Literally. This is one of my favorite songs because it's not only beautiful, it also taught me that sometimes I can't wait for my purpose to find me, I have to find it. And that's why I too play violin.

When I first discovered Lindsey it was this song. And till this day I still break the repeat button constantly every single time it's recommended to me or pops up on replay. It's just such a beautiful song. But fun at the same time. And it has a beat you can fallow with. And for someone Autistic like me it has the right tempo and range of sounds that just calms me down. It's my go to song. Will always be my go too song. Not to down play the rest of Lindsey's work I listen to other tracks just as much. But this one tops em in my opinion. Love it.

What a great message by Lindsey Stirling through the song of the caged bird. Actually, we can see that the enclosed room that is nothing but our enclosed and depressed mind. The girl who is inside the enclosed room has been searching for something. It shows that we have been trying to escape from our depressed life. Suddenly, she could see some bulbs in the boxes. That means she could see a lot of opportunities or hopes. Finally she saw a violin 🎻 that is her dream or passion. By playing violin 🎻, she kindled the bulbs that means if we focus on our goal, definitely we will get the light of joy and we can enjoy our life even if our life is so congested and depressed by all means. So her violin 🎻 is her goal, likewise we can enjoy our life by leading the positive goal -oriented life with our loving members. Thank you so much Lindsey Stirling for a thought.

it's crazy.. I have listened to this song for years and just now watched the video.. this is the song that would lift me out of depression. the video matches perfectly.

And when you do, it will bring light to darkness. Thanks for the song and the video :)

I know a lot of her songs stand on her own but does anyone else think this song, Shatter Me, Lost Girls and Firefly could be listened to like one big story, with Firefly being the beautiful epilogue?

At first I thought it was going to be sad but then she was able to make her own happy shining world in a dark place. With encouragement of course

this speaks my soul. never gets old

Elle illustre parfaitement ce petit oiseau coincé au fond de nous qui ne désire qu'une chose : se libérer. 🕊

Anyone notice that Lindsey has a genuine expression and smile of pure happiness on her face when she plays? (Same wit the cellist in the Piano guys) It's almost like ecstasy.
