I have got to say just how much appreciation I have for Frederic's absolutely solid guitar skills. He is an unassuming genius with an intricate delicate touch that matches Aurora so well. She always surrounds herself with such good musicians and creates such wonderful soundscapes together.
I love this live performance of this beautiful song. Your reaction, as always, is wonderful. Aurora is music in physical form, so emotional and graceful. Hope you are feeling much better by now, off to the poll reaction now, thanks 😍😍
the last album was full of my favorite songs of hers, like on all of her albums + all the unreleased songs. all my favorites. thanks for your bonus reaction.
Hey Ahlena, I was hoping that you would notice this version had been released,great reaction. Yes I agree awsome production, Aurora never fails to surprise us with different takes on her songs😊 thanks for a double whammy ❤
What an amazing performance by all involved, Deserves to be listened to on your own in the quiet of your house looking out of a rainy window , looking at nature.
Well after finally seeing her live & watching these videos captured live, I think I can say that (much like The Warning) this is what I prefer. Not that either artist is bad in the studio, it’s just that something special happens when they perform live. This is no exception, it’s beautiful. ❤ Great reaction, Ash. Get better soon.
"I hope I don't cry". Why? I hope I DO cry, it shows the artist has succeeded. At least I don't have make up to run and tears dry. You have noticed that you feel different to Aurora, post concert. This is normal and a permanent change.
I just watched this yesterday! I forgot how much I love this song too now I wish she did it at her Chicago show but she did queendom and ran around in a rainbow flag so I’ve been blessed enough xD
A beautiful version and yes, the backing vocals are spectacular. Sadly the camera shot is so tight on Aurora for most of the video that we don't get to see Amalie much. She spends most of the time out of shot on the right so it's unclear how she and Thea are sharing the load, although it does sound like two backing vocals for most of the time. I have seen Thea perform live and she is excellent (even a fire alarm interruption did not phase her ☺), perhaps you should look at some of her solo work ...
Awesome reaction Ashlena🥰🥰 I absolutely agree with everything you said👍 As you know, this is also my favourite song from her album😍 It was the first song I really fell in love with when I listened to the album❤️ I don’t count the songs she released before the album, because I really love “Your Blood” too, and of course all the other songs😂😂😍😍
It's so wonderful to see how you interact with music, Ashlena😍. I agree her background vocalists are insanely good. Probably among the best in the music business. And they match her voice so magically well. While recording, however, she does all the backing tracks herself.
This isn't as intimate as some of the live versions she's done, but I love the production. Amalie and Thea really stand out on both Amazon performances. Aurora does her own female backing vocals in the studio, so they pretty much have to be great live, to be any use to her. And clearly they are.
Happy Aurora tuesday.☺ Hmm..You said you reacted to "The Dark Dresses Lightly" but I can't play it? Weird because the music video isn't blocked in Norway. This song is sooo beautiful. She did it when I saw her live. Different version again than this, and my gosh... It was just stunning. I'm so glad to hear that you keep giving Thea and Amalie credit.You might have noticed when you saw Aurora live that she give them space to "show off" their talent in most songs. I love that about her. They have both been her support band on tour too. And btw Thea had a small concert on her own in Toronto the day before Aurora's show. 🙂
I haven't had time to watch your reaction yet but here's what I think. I felt like there was something off about the audio especially when I was listening with headphones. Idk how to explain it but Aurora still sounds amazing
I've seen some comments that the production sounds a bit flat and "un-auroraish". Some blame it on the mike, but there's a more likely explanation. I have a small but nagging suspicion that this has been pitch corrected in post, by some ignorant and insensitive producer/engineer who thinks it's more important to stare at graphs rather than actually listening to the music. Pitch correction (not to mention autotune) kills expression. Pitch correction is ubiquitous now and has become the industry standard in music production - meaning that artists really have to be all over the production process simply to *prevent* it from happening. Someone will sneak in and do it, usually without the artist's knowledge. To the music industry, it's a godsend, because it makes everybody sound identical, and that means they can sell *anyone*. To hear the pure and genuine Aurora, without any pitch correction, go to the many audience recordings from her recent shows. That makes you realize what a crime it is to pitch correct the great singers. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong...
@@ashlenamusic I don't blame you at all. It is still a miraculously beautiful song, and nothing can _really_ destroy Aurora's voice. This is still in a league above most other music out there :-) And now, you also know what Aurora sounds like live, without any fakery! I really enjoyed you concert vlog. This pitch "correction" thing is a stealth enemy, because it's extremely difficult to put your finger on without actually analyzing. I wouldn't have suggested this if I hadn't been primed by watching a lot of videos on the Wings of Pegasus youtube channel. The guy running it is a musician and singer himself and the site is devoted to analyzing live vocal performances for autotune, pitch correction and lip-syncing - with the occasional hooray when he discovers an actual live performance. His taste is pretty old-school 70s-80s, so he hasn't gotten to Aurora yet ;-) But the work he does is absolutely brilliant.
Unfortunately I'm not happy about the sound engineering of her voice in the two Curved performances. It might be that red mic, but I think it's a combination of bad sound engineering and a mic that doesn't sound good together with her voice and how close she like to be to the mic.

I’m obsessed with this performance since it dropped and I was waiting for you to watch it 💜💜💜
Haha 🥰🥰

OMG I want to float away while listening to this one. Just float away to my dreams...forever...❤
How can it be even more beautiful live?😭✋
it's one of her traits, being better live.
@@tx0h true
They are really getting the vocal synchronization down to a fine Art! Amazing by all performers on this song! Thanks!
Beautiful song one of my fav favorites OMG love this woman
You are so right. All of Aurora’s band bring so much to her performances especially live.

The folk singer side of Aroura I love.
I told you you'd love it 😉😁
This song is so beautiful... Favorite song on WHTTH 4sure ❤❤❤
Thanks Ashlena!! Always giving the customers what they want.
xx
Two for Tuesday!!
Look at the top she's wearing, it's a cat's face😊 Get well soon 🫠
For the second time today, Thanks Ash👍 Agree, she has been blessed with great backup singers and musicians.

Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome reaction Ashlena🥰🥰
I absolutely agree with everything you said👍
As you know, this is also my favourite song from her album😍
It was the first song I really fell in love with when I listened to the album❤️
I don’t count the songs she released before the album, because I really love “Your Blood” too, and of course all the other songs😂😂😍😍
The 6 minute acoustic Your Blood is wonderful.
@ It sure is😍
I love both versions💙🦋
As soon as i got the notification i cheered
❤❤❤ perfection shame she did not play at Toronto for you.
i knowwww but that's ok
❤😊

I can only quote her, again: All of this is loveliness! T Y S M

Unfortunately I'm not happy about the sound engineering of her voice in the two Curved performances. It might be that red mic, but I think it's a combination of bad sound engineering and a mic that doesn't sound good together with her voice and how close she like to be to the mic.
It's her own personal mic that she use on tour, so it's def nothing wrong with it. She sound amazing live.
I tend to agree, but I think there's a simpler explanation. See my longer comment above.
