Aurora hated this song! This song Aurora wrote with the guys in her band. But she was not happy with it, but she was pressured hard from her management to include it and promote it. The song became a symbol for all things she did not like with the music industri. She told her management that if she ever was forced to give out music that she did not like again she would quit. When she was done with the promotion tour she refused to play it anymore. BUT in a recent intervju she said she has started to like it again! 😎
I've learnt about that in the "Once Aurora" documentary, about the hate. That's a must watch. I guess it's good she changed her mind about the song itself.
Aurora is a Norwegian artist, an organically honed singer, a songwriter and a producer who possesses an angelic ethereal voice which breathes forth from the depths of that which is truly most important to us as humans and this earth. When you see her, when you listen to her, you are struck, struck with a realization that before you is a uniquely authentic human being, a beautiful …
@@tinntinnamp I totally disagree , what do you mean by obliged to do it ? I'm sure I read that on that show she was made to feel comfortable by Fallon and enjoyed the moment. I don't think Aurora would have felt "obliged" to enjoy herself and in my eyes what she did was genuine fun to her
I hear in the early days Aurora didn't like this song and was pressured by her management to perform it. I watched the 2016 Glastonbury concert she played, it's on youtube. This song was the last song of the set and she clearly had fun performing it. Grrr! to those pesky copyright strikes!! Luckily this one wasn't pulled down. Great reaction as always.
I just found your channel and your appreciation, admiration, fascination with both Aurora AND Eminem speaks volumes, Subbed. I'm sure you know David Bowie's Life on Mars, I'm of the opinion that some songs shouldn't or can't be covered, though AURORA does it justice and Bowie would be proud that she leant her sound to his imagery!!!
@@larryshair before reading this I was going to suggest that you view the concert versions at Lalapalooza, Chicago and Brazil. And Jimmy Fallon as well. Se la vie oh well. Glad you watched it anyhoo.
@@larryshair That used to be the case. Now she sees it differently. The that she didn't like the song was rather the result of her powerlessness in this trade. She had to let her anger out somewhere and since she didn't want to be angry with people, she just projected it on the song. I recommend the documentary "Once". You'll learn more about the other side of Aurora. It's also about this song.
Of course I have to put in what I think you would enjoy from Aurora next. (Throw a dart right?) But this is probably the most beautiful I’ve seen Aurora to date. It’s called Soulless Creatures - Live in Bergen. She is dressed a like goddess surrounded by a full string accompaniment. Thanks again for all of your work and frustration you put into these. 🙏 th-cam.com/video/WI5hghjUNus/w-d-xo.html
@@larryshair Yes, that one is very beautiful. Just a hint on the lyrics, they are written from Mother Earths point of view, so you can probably guess who the Soulless Creatures are.
An excellent recommendation! The only live performance of SOULLESS CREATURES, with the Bergen Philharmonic in 2020! I also like the Bergen Philharmonic version of THE SEED!
In the video you can see Aurora's thoughts and the boy she speaks to is herself. She asks him to free himself, because otherwise no one else will do it. You should check out the Jimmy Fellon live version, because that was her first appearance on US TV and she definitely left a lasting impression. 😁
Jimmy Fallon not "Fellon". Even though English isn't your first language, his name isn't spelled differently in German. If you are going to bother to comment, get the information right.
Sorry to hear that some of your videos were taken down. Other reactors blurred Dimash's videos to get through the copyright thing. I'm not sure about videos of other artists.
Thanks Larry for this enjoyable reaction .I think I'd have to watch this song a few times to try to understand the meaning .Quite trippy isn't it? Entertaining and artistic though.Glad it wasn't blocked anyway, it must be quite frustrating.
Glad your enjoying enjoying her more up beat songs. If you like this when you can, you need to watch the videos Apple tree , Queendom, Animal, running with the wolves , The River and Cure for me.
You know how pilots do the speech "welcome on board flight 107, this is your captain speaking...." before the plane heads off to the runway? You sound like that captain and I think it's so cool🙋🏻♀️🇦🇺
There are filters and watermarks that you can use to conceal the video that should allow you to get past the copyright block, its more about the vocals that the video
Regarding the copyright issues, I would suggest putting an emoji, or thumbnail of your channel, or blurring, even possibly darkening it? A few others put "Covered for Copyright Purposes" over the video as well. It seems to work well for other reactors. I wish you the best!!!
If TH-cam gave you copyright strikes they can stop it and do their job properly. Leave this wonderful man alone and our channel - by Sabre Carter, from Sydney, Australia🇦🇺🤍❤️💙
Aurora fell out of love with this song, but always used to sing and dance to this song at the end of her concerts, usually ending with a jump or forward roll. The boy is apparently writing BOYBOYBOY … in binary, though why is a mystery to me.
You need to react to the short documentary of hers called Nothing Is Eternal, it's really good. Also you may want to put a somewhat transparent watermark over the music video, that may help with strikes.
Thanks RX! I have decided to try and dispute some of the strikes. There is a "reaction" option that you can choose on the strikes, so I'll delve into that first as I have also tried to place a filter over the video and it was still stricken. Good to see ya!
@@larryshair It is so strange watching the same video reactions with no filters and no mods be fine while others with filters or watermarks get strikes.Who knows.
Aw shucks the music video? This is the song where she really cuts loose and does some crazy Aurora style dancing in the live versions! There are a few artists that I won't even listen to the mastered recording, they are too incredible live.
Oh my... yes the hidden messages, right in our faces. Running with the Wolves, the official video...,one of my favorites, message wise. ;) But really, AURoRAs videos often gives another level to the lyrics, but they always give food for thoughts, and depending on where we, the listener, are on our journey. But imo, I think you're on to something. Oh, the Jimmy Fallon one is such a fun one.... specially because it's live on American tv, so feel free to let the camera run, we weirdos and warriors, love to see reactions. ;) And if U ever get the chance, see the thing that happened w Stephen Colbert (just 1+ min) ;) XD (and if U wanna do a VERY short reaction, plz do ;) ) th-cam.com/video/PLhG1LidRlk/w-d-xo.html
Hi there buddy. Kinda nice to have a semi-break from the "regular" Aurora, right ? But still a handfull here, when delving into the lyrics. No surprise there. Hehe I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with getting reactions through. Must be extremely frustrating. It seems to me that many reactors have found that applying a filter of some sort helps in this matter. Then again, you never know just HOW many reactions they have made that have been blocked. And maybe some videos will be blocked regardless... dunno. I guess you have enough artists to react to as is is already, but if you feel like taking your chances on ONE more, I have the perfect artist for you, and I don't think you will encounter any problems with reactions either. Even if you won't make a reaction, at the very least do this on your own time. I know I have mentioned her before, she's holding 3rd spot on my favorite female singers list. Her name is Eivör, and she comes from tha Faeroe Islands. She has A LOT of great songs, but there is one in particular that I would love if you would listen to. It's called "Falling Free" and is taken from her concert at The Old Theater in Tórshavn (the capital of the Faeroe Islands). It is beautiful beyond comprehension to be honest. Absolutely perfect. Like I said, check it out on your own time if your reaction schedule is full : th-cam.com/video/KNPIdGBn7M4/w-d-xo.html (and do remember that I haven't really let you down with my recommendations SO far 🤣😉) Take care my friend and good luck with getting your reactions through. Remember, when the going gets tough, turn around and offer the other cheek. Greetings from Norway 🙂
Very interesting take on video meaning:). Loved it :). And of course love Aurora song (but I love all her song to be honest = nothing unusual :) ). Her live performances of this songs was also great (Jimmy Fallon was very fun :) ). Ps. She did not wanted to perform this song in some period:).
I really enjoy your reactions for Aurora...I hope to see more with her new music coming out. Might I suggest you watch Pentatonix? They are an acapella group, together 10 years, with over 10 million albums sold. They currently have a new Christmas album out, including the video for "The Prayer". It is brilliantly made!!! I hope to see you expand to Pentatonix in the near future.
Hi Patty, I just reacted to one of their songs (Mary Did You Know) based on your suggestion! WOW!!!! Sadly, the reaction received a copywrite strike. It didn't count against the channel, but the video was restricted from posting. Boy, what that incredible! I will try to find other songs of theirs to see if I can get something past the restrictions. Thanks so much!
@@larryshair Might I suggest putting a filter, an emoji, or typing "covered for copyright". A number of reactors do this to get the strike removed. Keep trying, when it doesn't hurt your channel. I guarantee all the Pentaholics will support any type of change you make to the video. Thanks for your quick response. It was very kind of you and I was probably the one who told you about PTX..Now I can't wait to see it!!
Just now saw that you did a reaction video on this one. If you want to see another super cool music video by Aurora, “Winter Bird” is an absolute must see! A lot of complex visuals with flying robots and all make for a beautiful work of art. Combined with her phenomenal expressive and elegant choreography makes for pure magic. She is slowly sealed up into an alien like cocoon by the flying robots. Ya gotta see this! th-cam.com/video/PYdm_Z1wnQ0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Larry, I am becoming aware of Aurora watching your reviews. Thanks, I'd like to reciprocate by hopefully turning you on to Grace Vanderwaal, she's still in the game big time after her AGT win when she was 12. Here she's 16 and is one of the amazing young ladies at the Angelina, Aurora, Dianna level. Grace writes most all her songs. She has also starred in a Disney movie called Stargirl. Grace has a beautiful naturally gritty voice and she balances it well with her soft beautiful voice as in this song that she wrote. This is the only way to hear this particular song since Disney pulled it off You Tube as part of Stargirl. Hoping this will be another young wonder artist for you Larry. Enjoy. th-cam.com/video/O5axfl1Z3fg/w-d-xo.html
Can you react to one of the most underrated artist! Iamamiwhoami or her single proyect Ionnalee, she is amazing! If you can react to BLUE album! All the songs have Music Video! Thanks ❤
You must mean copywrite claims because you only get 3 copywrite strikes before they take away your channel. There are ways to show the video reviews that you get copywrite claims for. You have to edit the video you are showing by covering up the video in some way that doesn't show a clear video. You can also attempt to have the copywrite claim lifted.
It’s funny but Aurora has stated pretty emphatically that she hates performing this piece. She views it as an example of what’s wrong with the music industry.
yay, thank you for reacting to her once again, everyone, warrior and weirdos love you.
Thank you so much, fellow warrior! You are so kind!

she love to dance at the end of the song any time she play conqueror live.
Been a W & W since 2015 had not watched this video for ages had forgotten how good it is. Great reaction Larry keep them coming.
The Jimmy Fallon one is more fun and exciting , she really enjoys the moment on stage . She was on to promote her first album.
I agree. Her energy for that performance was of the chart.
Well she does it a lot as like a thing for the song. Not so sure if she enjoys it or was feeling obligated to do it.
@@tinntinnamp I totally disagree , what do you mean by obliged to do it ?
I'm sure I read that on that show she was made to feel comfortable by Fallon and enjoyed the moment. I don't think Aurora would have felt "obliged" to enjoy herself and in my eyes what she did was genuine fun to her
Yay!!! Happy Aurora! Thanks for changing it up lately!
Very enjoyable thank you!😊 A less played but fantastic song and video is “To be loved”.
I hear in the early days Aurora didn't like this song and was pressured by her management to perform it. I watched the 2016 Glastonbury concert she played, it's on youtube.

I'm sure you know David Bowie's Life on Mars, I'm of the opinion that some songs shouldn't or can't be covered, though AURORA does it justice and Bowie would be proud that she leant her sound to his imagery!!!
This song is particularly good live so please watch the Honda Stage version as her dancing dips amazing . Thank you for reviewing
The Jimmy Fallon one is epic. Her dancing alone is worth the watch.
Side note. Aurora doesn't care for this song, so no longer performs it.
I just checked out the version on Jimmy's show. Man, now I wish I reacted to that one! Interesting that she doesn't like the song...

Soulless Creatures, live Bergen ❤️✨
@@larryshair Yes, that one is very beautiful. Just a hint on the lyrics, they are written from Mother Earths point of view, so you can probably guess who the Soulless Creatures are.

Never read too much into Aurora lyrics, she wants them to mean what ever you want them to.
The live performances with Aurora dancing (on the Jimmy Fallon Show or on the Honda Stage) are the best versions of this song.
In the video you can see Aurora's thoughts and the boy she speaks to is herself. She asks him to free himself, because otherwise no one else will do it.

The Jimmy Fallon performance is totally epic ❤
Watch Aurora - Apple tree. It’s so different than the other songs
If I'm not mistaken, the binary he's writing down is Boy (01000010 01101111 01111001 ) repeated over and over ... cool reaction again, thanks :)

you should see her live of this song, it's just so cute her dancing haha
I watched it just now! I'm so sad that I didn't react to that one!
You should really check out her performance on Jimmy Fallon! She is in front of several million people and she just let's it all go.
The amazing Norse Princess of the mythical troll forrests of Scandinavia

Nice!
Same thing happened to me. I kept getting recommendations for aurora so I gave in and now I love her too!
i love ur reactions on aurora
Thank you! It's so easy to react to her!
Have you reacted to AURORA's Queendom music-video? If not, you really should!
You would love her song Queendom
Trying to figure out exactly what a piece of art 'means' is a fool's journey. What it means to the observer is what art's all about. 😎
Well-said, Mike!
Her Jimmy Fallon performance is completely awesome! You should at least check it out for yourself :)
