Lacey Sturm and violin virtuoso Lindsey Stirling have joined forces to present their collaborative effort titled "Breathe With Me." The enchanting song is now available for streaming across major platforms.
Within this captivating piece, Sturm's emotive and potent vocals seamlessly intertwine with Stirling's ethereal violin prowess. The outcome is a moving and cinematic partnership that invites listeners to embrace the present moment fully.
Sturm explains, "One of the ways we ground ourselves is through our breath. Taking a moment to breathe acknowledges our existence beyond the physical realm."
This concept resonates with Lindsey Stirling, who recounts her childhood fondness for whales in her memoir "The Only Pirate At the Party." These enigmatic creatures, breathing air yet dwelling in water, serve as a metaphor for human beings—a blend of the spiritual and the physical.
Sturm expands on this thought, sharing, "The term 'breath' often symbolizes 'spirit' in various languages. Our humanity was established when God infused us with His Spirit. In the material world, we frequently lose sight of our humanity, leading to emptiness. It's essential to recognize our spiritual essence."
Stirling's otherworldly violin complements the exploration of the supernatural connection between spirit and body within the song. Known for effortlessly blending classical mastery with vibrant pop and rock energy, Lindsey played a crucial role in bringing "Breathe With Me" to life.
Lindsey Stirling reflects on the experience, stating, "Collaborating with Lacey Sturm has been incredibly thrilling. Her uniqueness and iconic status are truly inspiring. Working on this song was a heartening experience, witnessing the depth of emotion she infuses into her music."
Lacey also voices her admiration for her collaborator, saying, "Lindsey's artistry is unlike anything else. Her ability to embrace her individuality and touch countless lives is awe-inspiring. She's reshaped the perception of the violin as a distinctive musical voice. Her contributions in the studio were exceptional, enriching the track with diverse melodies and ideas."
The creative journey of the song commenced with co-writing and initial recording at the prestigious studio of rock producer Howard Benson in Los Angeles. Josh Sturm, Lacey's husband and guitarist, skillfully perfected the track, infusing it with its final form. The Sturm family found the song deeply poignant, as it unexpectedly mirrored a personal experience—an enduring testament to the guiding presence of God in their lives.
"Breathe With Me" follows the recent release of "Reconcile" during the summer season. Coinciding with Lacey Sturm's reunion performances with Flyleaf, the band she co-founded and led, the song marks a significant moment in her musical journey.
