    "It's a tragic love story. Very tragic. The saddest thing is that he really loves her.". As far I know the song is about mercy killing and it was inspired by a news in a newspaper. It was about men who killed his wife or girlfriend because of terminal/painful illness.
    I would recommend: Lucky live from Nidarosdomen (and many many more but I restricted myself to one recommendation ;) ).

    It Happened Quiet(live version) is also just astounding. Also highly recommend Helvegen by a Norse group called Wardruna. The live version of that song that features Aurora is absolutely entrancing, and the harmonies and general juxtaposition of her voice with the vocalist/writer of Wardruna, his name being Einar, is just haunting.

    So, do you wanna know the story behind the song???
    Ok, well first of all, I'm a 51 year old METAL HEAD and I LOVE AURORA.
    Been a fan for about a year and a half and I really can't say enough about her.....
    Magical, Transforming, Captivating, Otherworldly, Fairy, Nymph, Mesmerizing.......
    So, from what I've heard the story is about a husband and wife couple, probably married for a LONG time. The wife has an incurable disease that she had to live with FOR YEARS in tremendous pain. She asked her husband to help her pass, he refused. But, watching the Love of His Life suffer day after day, year after year, he finally helped.......
    I know when I first heard the song, I was like "wtf"? I mean, I've heard lot's of songs with strange meanings, but I couldn't put a finger on it til I heard this, then it made complete sense.....
    PLEASE DO MORE AURORA......there is SO much she has. ANYthing from Live in Nidarosdomen.....preferable start with "Eyes of a Child" and then "It Happened Quiet". But, you could literally do every song from that concert.....

    • @vidiveniviciDCLXVI

    Aurora's live performances are otherworldly and first among them is the live December 2017 Nidarosdomen (cathedral) concert televised on NRK Norwegian TV. Through the Eyes of a Child is my favorite, exemplifying the emotional depth she brings to her songs on the stage.

    I can't think of a more both stellar and unique singer than Aurora except perhaps Diana A. Most artists like perhaps fellow Norwegian Angelina may have a unique sound but you can clearly hear influences like perhaps Billy Holiday and Amy Winehouse in Angelina's case. But when it comes to Aurora her sound is totally and absolutely unique. She has a childishness in her vocals and even her appearance and expressions. Even her songwriting seems to come from an innocent childlike wonder of the world. Don't take this to mean that I think there is anything immature about her, nothing could be further from the truth, she is full of wisdom and everything about her art is brilliant.

    Nice review. I suggest Lucky or Through the Eyes of a Child, from the live concert at Nidarosdomen.

Super dramatic, all three of those songs on that stage.

    The vocals in this are mind blowing. From a full belting tone at times to absolutely crystalline. This was the first piece of hers that I ever experienced. I love the ambiguity. We have no idea why the person with the gun is doing what they do, other than that they believe that it is for mercy. This could be because the song is being sung by an injured deer on the side of the road. The song may be sung by an injured soldier who cannot survive until help arrives. This song could be sung by a child born into a cult whose parents believe that the world is ending and the only way to save them is to keep them from falling into the hands of a government that disagrees with them. This song could be sung by a person who is terminally ill and asks their brother to please hold them tight. And let them go.
    Her voice absolutely shatters me in this. But the ambiguity is what keeps me coming back.

If it was with or without the girl's concent I do not know. I do hope tho, that is was a mutual agreement. Love from Norway :-)

    I took the lyrics as meaning that she (or the "lyrical 'I'") was saying they recognised that the "He" in the song *Believed* HE was providing HIS "mercy" to Her, and not that she wanted to be, er, "Mercied"?

    Hello and thank you for your fine reaction to AURORA. There are many songs you can react to. I recommend
    - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) - she sang in norway's biggest cathedral - phenomenal acoustics
    - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) - these great harmonies
    - The Seed (Official Video - VEVO) - it's about the climat change - should be compulsory in schools
    - Exist For Love (Official Video - VEVO) - if you want to fall in love
    - Cure For Me (Official Video - VEVO) - if you want to dance
    - Heathens (Live Performance) - her latest song
    I usually prefer her live performances. But in these cases the VEVO video is more impressive.
    Have a nice week and

  • @marcos7801
    @marcos7801 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Like the others have said the song is about euthanasia, also called mercy-killing or assisted suicide. She read an article in the newspaper about a man who killed his wife who was terminally ill thus the lines "I know he knows that he's killing me for mercy" and "he did it all to save me from the awful things that comes" are relevant. It's a deeply troubling subject matter for Aurora and for her to sing it (by invite) at a Noble Peace Prize performance is somewhat befitting.

    She was a very young girl when she wrote this song, inspired by an incident in her town in which a man euthanized his terminally ill wife to spare her a slow agonizing death. She imagined the scene from the departing wife's point of view. It's one of the saddest stories I've ever heard, and also one of the most stunning pieces of art I've ever witnessed. The stripped down performance and simple lyrics fully convey the deep and complex meaning underneath. It's astonishing that a child could even conceive such a masterpiece, much less craft it.

      She is as vulnerable as finely spun glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you apart and heals you at the same time. Who does that? Her art is almost too intense to bear, but you can't look away. She is a siren in the form of a wood nymph. Resistance is futile!

      @@jeffmalloy8200 She's what a genuinely free, fully expressed human spirit looks like. An extremely rare thing in today's world. Once you've seen it, it's difficult to look away.

      Do you know in which interview Aurora mentions this news story? I talked to another youtube commentator "Coyote818181" who saw/read the interview, but he could not find it again.

    You should check out Helvegen by Wardruna feat. Aurora. It has english cc so can tell what they're saying but, the music and singing are amazing.

    she wrote this when she was 13 because of a news article about a man who killed his wife i think. She has a fascination with death, quite a few of her songs including this one pertain to death or involve it in some way. She has a very unique way of seeing the world, you should check out some of her interviews or better yet react to Aurora Haik concert and documentary.

      You are correct, here are her own words about her fascination with death:
      "I've thought a lot about death in my life. I think about it a lot, but not in a bad way. Not with fear, but with a form of curiosity....
      ...I thought a lot about death when I was little. I remember that when I got nice things for my birthday, I would get sad. Because I thought: 'But I'm going to die one day, what will I do with this thing then?! Then I cannot be with this teddy bear or...'"

    Kind of contradictory that a song titled “murder song” was played at the Nobel peace prize event. Has anyone else noticed that?
