I admit I'm a giant snob when it comes to people covering David Bowie tunes, especially this one. But this performance was so excellent-- a true reinterpretation while still being so, so respectful of the original. She FELT this song. This was absolutely excellent... I could hardly breathe when she sang it. What a voice. What presence. Just wonderful.
@@Johnnywhamo thanks guys, glad I’m not the only one! I remember liking it on Stern but I’m sitting here with tears dripping down my cheeks. I used to think of myself as a strong, mans man up until about 6 minutes ago.
This was a powerfully simple cover that completely captures the essence of the original yet making it something so special. That was a hauntingly beautiful performance.
this is the best way to describe the difference between the two. I was really feeling them both, but I couldn't put my finger on what exactly. well done
You are not from a whole different world if you appear on the Howard Stern Show, that's for sure. She's just weird, that's the Björk-Effect, people automatically think it's super artistic.
As my Great Grandfather came to this part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain foothills in 1892 .. Settled.. He would tell me the spoken history stories of the ancestors , his grandfathers and elders of the Viking Sagas,, Gods and Family ,,Skol..... which is what Vikings said after a Victory and drank from the skulls of the defeated... Skol All
As amazing as this song and cover is, didn’t Bowie just pick random words from a newsletter when writing this song? I don’t really thing there is that much of a meaning in the original I think she definitely found a meaning in it just not the one intended because there kind of wasn’t one
@@zewaisnel6130 I do not think Bowie would write a song without any kind of meaning. It was not Bowie form to write meaningless songs, as far as I've looked into all the magic stuff related to Bowie's past.
@@FernandoPaladini true, I agree but the meaning might be based on feel rather than the words. AA lot of writers dont care to make people think about something, in fact being overly direct can take away from feel. And Bowie was trying to express how he felt inside through melody, a loose lyrical theme, to create an overall mood, or... _feel_ lol there's no better word for it, it's all feel.
Hard to believe that people are just hearing AURORA for the first time, although it is the first time for me to hear this specific performance! All of Aurora’s covers are great! Her original music and live performances are fantastic!
@@Vera-xu3xw Your point? She completely reinterpreted the song but still had great respect for the original. Not easy to do. Plus she has about 4 original albums, all unique and amazing. Keep quiet unless you've something useful to say
Heard this live on Howard originally and fell through the looking glass into Aurora’s world and have been hooked ever since. So glad they finally out this on TH-cam, this is the best version of this song from her.
I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve enjoyed a Bowie cover and this is one of them. Such a dreamy surreal take not just a one for one remake. Gorgeous.
@@broluxgigantos89 you sure did lol he loved Seu Jorge's covers and liked Philip glass heroes, as well as many others...he just didnt liked people that didn't put their own identity on the covers and ended up imitating him
Finding Aurora is absolutely the best thing TikTok has done for me. She is a magical creature we must protect at all costs.... I love this and that it's from 2016.
She is... So amazingly talented. There is such a depth of understanding of music in her performances, along with a very visceral connection to the songs. You often get one or the other, not both. She's got SO MUCH vocal control, too.
Aurora is an angel whose songs take over her soul when she performs. Been a longtime fan. She is ethereal. I found her angelic voice at the end of a Girls' episode. She sang this very song. Like a siren, she drew me in.
The way to express herself is genuinely because she feels the music and its meaning of this deep song... That was flawless! There is nothing that can be improved! This is absolute perfection.
Like many out there I think I embody Bowie from being a low teen captivated by his first five or so albums. Wore those damn things out knowing every word. That being said Aurora nailed it. For being young coming in later she was able to hit the tone so many others miss, and yet made it her own. Fantastic job.
Remarkable. A beautifully haunting voice which astoundingly, almost makes the song her own. She achieved the same feat of vocal brilliance when she covered the Chas & Dave 1979 classic, 'Gertcha'.
To his credit Stern has pulled some absolutely awesome performances out of guests and this is certainly one of them. An incredibly beautiful rendering.
It was with this song that I've discovered Aurora and I couldn't help becoming a fan, it was made with a guitar the one I first saw. Thank you Bowie for passing out the torch
Aurora is an incredible singer. Her voice is mature beyond her age. I'm not a fan of most of her music if I'm being honest. But I recommend her to girls learning to sing. The control she has over her voice and her dynamics are as good as they get. Check out Aurora with Wardruna - Helvegen, live. It's a viking song, and it's absolutely mesmerizing, and one of the best vocal performances I've heard.
That happy and sad feeling he speaks of, the somehow comforting melancholy she illicits from our minds and souls. I think it is a gratitude for the purity she brings to us, and a fear/ resentment of what we expect the world to do to that same purity. A wish to protect it and a helplessness knowing she will be subjected to the same things that we all feel sullied by. I am grateful for your art and voice Aroura. I hope you feel buoyed up by those that feel the same way

i teared up. so much emotion. makes me happy to be alive
She feels EVERY song.
Sarah Blanko has a great version of this song
He would be happy.
best cover indeed. David would definately put his thumbs up saying, there goes my song.
This cover of "Life on Mars?" actually brought tears to my eyes when I heard it for the first time
Same
@@Johnnywhamo thanks guys, glad I’m not the only one! I remember liking it on Stern but I’m sitting here with tears dripping down my cheeks. I used to think of myself as a strong, mans man up until about 6 minutes ago.
Me too.
same!
Listening for the first time. Tears.😢
It's subtle, but the note she picks for when she sings the word "Mars" is pure musical genious.
Aurora is so precise but feels so effortless. I just *love* to listen to her sing.
That was the precise note I was waiting expectantly for. 🖤
Thats the part that makes me just weep.
Really nice. Reminded me of a song the female character sang in "Once".
Shout out to the pianist. Softly and flawlessly guiding those vocals. A great performance by both.
This was a powerfully simple cover that completely captures the essence of the original yet making it something so special. That was a hauntingly beautiful performance.
Bowie sing it with anger, while Aurora sing it with disappointment. Wonderful, thank you.
this is the best way to describe the difference between the two. I was really feeling them both, but I couldn't put my finger on what exactly. well done
I feel the disappointment as well, but i also sense a lot of frustration, leaning to desperation.
Sang it with anger. Not sing.
When she sings word “” mars “” is so great
She is a Viking fairy. No one can touch her because she is from a whole different world.
Do you know what a viking is?
You are not from a whole different world if you appear on the Howard Stern Show, that's for sure. She's just weird, that's the Björk-Effect, people automatically think it's super artistic.

She is definitely not from this planet 🌎
I love her
My heart just broke a little at the honesty of it all. Brutally beautiful interpretation.
she made it so sombre... it's so melancholic, I really love it too.
She didnt just sing the song, she understood the meaning of the song. Brutal xxx
As amazing as this song and cover is, didn’t Bowie just pick random words from a newsletter when writing this song? I don’t really thing there is that much of a meaning in the original I think she definitely found a meaning in it just not the one intended because there kind of wasn’t one
Heart cutting, in the realest way

I’m new to her myself a year later… she’s amazing
holy...why am I crying...? damn, Aurora
Her voice sounds like the moonlight shining on the calm surface of a clear lake in the winter night
FORGET YOUR MAINSTREAM ARTISTS THIS GIRL IS SIMPLY A GENIUS.
All the mainstream artists today copied this girl YEARS ago. She does not get the recognition she deserves imo.
@@bongzilla4172 Try to Copy, but secretly envy her
Genius? She's covering someone else's song
@@Vera-xu3xw Your point? She completely reinterpreted the song but still had great respect for the original. Not easy to do. Plus she has about 4 original albums, all unique and amazing. Keep quiet unless you've something useful to say
Her videos get hundreds of millions of views...she's pretty mainstream.
Heard this live on Howard originally and fell through the looking glass into Aurora’s world and have been hooked ever since. So glad they finally out this on TH-cam, this is the best version of this song from her.
She also does a great Massive Attack version of Teardrop
I LOVE that version!
Haunting. I love it!
So good!
I know it's sublime!
@@jennifer9047from Triple J
This women is just otherworldly. Her beauty and talent transcends all time and space. She's effortlessly beautiful 😍
Singing a Bowie song normally is an impossible thing,
but this version is so beautiful.
David would have loved it.
I think bowie would have liked this cover
I think so too
Big style mate!
He would have been blown away by it...
Also Aurora herself
😢❤️
Aurora is every bit of an artistic genius as Bowie. These are both rare, incredible human beings
Breathless, She left me breathless
Haven't gotten chills like this from a female singer since BJORK!! PHENOMENAL! RIP BOWIE!!!!!
are they both Icelandic??
@@tiffanyhardin1840 Aurora is norwegian, but actually they know each other because Bjork has been to some Aurora shows
@@tiffanyhardin1840 no, aurora is norwegian
Aurora is Norwegian.
She is actually from my home town Os in Hordaland, Norway❤️😍👏🏼 We are very proud🥰
Aurora is a young woman of immeasurable talent.
I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve enjoyed a Bowie cover and this is one of them. Such a dreamy surreal take not just a one for one remake. Gorgeous.
Ever since she covered Half the World Away have been hooked, her head voice to full voice is flawless!!!!👌🏻
I keep coming back to this but it is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard!
i don't get goosebumps too often from music, but this young lady done gave me goosebumps.
My heart is so full of love for this amazing person, it's amazing to see how finally more and more people are getting to know her musical genius!
She does one hell of job covering Across the Universe too. A very unique and talented artist.
David Bowie would've loved this version 💜
I totally agree.
Before he passed away, I asked him about covers, he said he hated them all
@@broluxgigantos89 you sure did lol he loved Seu Jorge's covers and liked Philip glass heroes, as well as many others...he just didnt liked people that didn't put their own identity on the covers and ended up imitating him
@@broluxgigantos89 haha pin ups is entirely made up of covers lmao and I just love sorrow sung by Bowie though 👌
He would have
Good god this woman is talented. No acting there she is pure unadulterated feeling. Absolutely transfixed watching her emotional interpretation.
Pretty sure this girl might be an angel or alien or something.
not anymore
@@marcostorrestaboada5502 yes we still do :)
She’s the spirit from Frozen 2 - and so enchanting!
She's Lelu from 5th Element
@@marcostorrestaboada5502 ?
Got me tearing up.
Bowie would have loved her.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 BRAVA !
Aurora always nails it. She's amazing:0)
Been looking for this for awhile. Bought her cd because of this and was not disappointed. She is god gifted
People sometimes forget about the musician next to the artist, what a privilege to play alongside (and have the talent to be able to do so).
An interpreter her soul in the song a presence. Not many person can’t do that. She make it her own
Finding Aurora is absolutely the best thing TikTok has done for me. She is a magical creature we must protect at all costs.... I love this and that it's from 2016.
I first heard of Aurora when I watched Frozen 2 and needed to find out who the voice of the spirit was. She’s absolutely mesmerizing 🥰
X2
ohhhhhhhh that makes alot of sense, she does feeel magical as shit
I heard this cover for the first time yesterday
I cannot get over how great she is
Shes just so wonderful
What a beautiful creature

Aurora on the Stern show. Never would’ve imagined.
Aurora
She's so perfunctory with interviewers be sometimes and I love it
The way to express herself is genuinely because she feels the music and its meaning of this deep song... That was flawless! There is nothing that can be improved! This is absolute perfection.
Whoa … David would be so pleased. What great interpretation of a classic song, with a voice that gave me goosebumps

For being young coming in later she was able to hit the tone so many others miss, and yet made it her own. Fantastic job.
This is a angel who sends a message to David Bowie up in music heaven. And Bowie loves it.
That "show" at 2:14 sent siren chills down my spine. My god...
The way she sings in falsetto. It feels like a lullaby to me. ♥️♥️♥️
She's so haunting in this song... I hope he had a chance to hear her perform this...
He actually died in January of 2016, so I don't think he ever did :(
Absolutely beautiful
This is just so beautiful. I'm in awe.
Her voice is so unique and clear. Love all of her songs 👏👏👏 well done Aurora!
Howard loved it! Aurora is so pure. Protect her at all costs!
Her expression and the pianist compliment each other so well!
She needs to come back on ASAP
Remarkable. A beautifully haunting voice which astoundingly, almost makes the song her own.
She achieved the same feat of vocal brilliance when she covered the Chas & Dave 1979 classic, 'Gertcha'.
My soul left the body for a second listening to that
Such perfection!
Wonderful.. a weaving of words.. and voice.. inducing story telling
Bowie would've featured her. She is so Bowieyy, she makes you feel it what Bowie would've felt while writing this.
I love her voice. Amazing.
To his credit Stern has pulled some absolutely awesome performances out of guests and this is certainly one of them. An incredibly beautiful rendering.
Goosebumps multiple times. A single long tear dripping out my right eye. Beautiful!!!
It was with this song that I've discovered Aurora and I couldn't help becoming a fan, it was made with a guitar the one I first saw. Thank you Bowie for passing out the torch
Aurora NEVER DISAPPOINTS.
Never heard of this artist. This is a fantastic cover.
You should give her origional material a listen. She is something else.
Listen to “the river” live in Bergen with orchestra. You’re welcome.
She runs with the wolves apparentley.
Aurora is an incredible singer. Her voice is mature beyond her age. I'm not a fan of most of her music if I'm being honest. But I recommend her to girls learning to sing.

It's a viking song, and it's absolutely mesmerizing, and one of the best vocal performances I've heard.
She’s a bit of a prodigy … not sure that can be taught, only studied and admired 🙂
This one brings me instantly to cry! It's so beautiful, that I don't find words. Lovely Aurora! ❣️ ...only love from me...!!!
Captivating. No other words needed
Minute 2:29 one of the best things I have ever heard on my whole entire life. She is a real life angel.
That happy and sad feeling he speaks of, the somehow comforting melancholy she illicits from our minds and souls. I think it is a gratitude for the purity she brings to us, and a fear/ resentment of what we expect the world to do to that same purity.

I hope you feel buoyed up by those that feel the same way
love the nod to "My Way" in the opening refrain - Bowie said he wrote "Life On Mars" as his take on/take off of "My Way"
One of the most adorable performers in this century ... nuff said!
This is such a great cover. I still come back to listen to this from time to time.
Just discovered her via Cure For Me, doing a deep dive. She's freaking amazing!
Jeez, this caught me off guard. Wow!
There are no real words to describe this performance. I'm just blown away. Beautifuly done.
Daaaaaayum. Mind and ears blown. This woman (and her accompanying musician, btw) are immense talents!
Aurora is so enchanting!! Her voice just sucks me in like a beautiful siren fairy 👌💙
I'm so glad this is on video now. I heard it live and it was around the time I was getting into Bowie. I loved it
This is another league of power here. Oh my God, please give us more people like this!!!
This cover takes me through a whole roller coaster of emotions 😭
Pretty sure my mutual love for this particular Bowie song is how Aurora ended up in my algorithm 4.5 years ago. Best discovery of my life!
Wonderful. The original will forever be in my heart but like all great songs, can be interpreted in many ways x Great version x
Overwhelmingly beautiful...
AURORA's voice is otherworldly
her song "Daydreamer" is GENIUS !!
Not gonna lie, she brought a tear to my eye. What a fantastic cover! She did it great justice.
she gets to me every time, such incredible artist!
How can you not Love Aurora
Thank you dear Aurora, to present your heart in every music you do/ celebrate. This is the need of the world of today....
Hauntingly great - what a simply epic rendition!
It does my heart good to see a new generation of talent bringing Bowie into the light. Good job Aurora..
Wow!! She feels the song🥰😎
her voice always gives me goosebumps
Aurora is too good for the Stern show. The purest of hearts.
too pretentious, completely dishonest.
She’s obviously not, she performed on his show.
I think she was NOINEteen
I totally agree, he's a Caveman in the presence of Angelic Beauty.
@@hughjanus5525 This was on July 25th 2016 so about ~1.5 months after she turned 20.
What an Angelic performance.
