This is a "soft" acoustic version of "The Seed", in the music video and on the album version the building part DOES go into a powerful chorus. I highly recommend the music video it is powerful both visually and musically.
I love this version. But my favorite is her alone, at the piano doing this song. The rhythm is just a tad bit different, which I think is what I fing appealing. I especially love when she flashes the peace sign to the camera and says.." peace and love" with her smiling...... My dream concer with Aurora is actually. Just her and a piano. ...but Damm, I really want to hear her do Under the water once......but I do not think it would work without a full band. But then I can hear, home, puppet, why did you have to go, and exit for love as examples......exist for love is a great example...for me.....I do not care for the structure or phonics of the song. But when it's just her and a piano.....I would gladly dance to it at my wedding. Infections of a different kind Man, there are so many of her songs that I prefer with just her. Kinda like Neil Young for me....the older generation will understand it.
YES! The Seed MV is a powerful, moving and important work of art. This VEVO music performance would then not only click, but would take on new dimensions and meaning. Sam, it would be truly wonderful to watch you break down Aurora’s masterpiece live performance of her song Lucky, from Nidarosdomen cathedral in Norway, th-cam.com/video/AmTiqR2_VAw/w-d-xo.html I’ve been a fan of yours for years.💗 And I’m an Aurora appreciator and Stan. Thank you. 💐
Yep, Aurora does songs differently almost every she performs them. This version has no percussion at all for example. I love this version with the surprise male chorus she wasn't aware was organised for her, she talks about it after the song. The look on her face when they come out of the crowd is priceless! 😍 th-cam.com/video/VEYH_pefoiQ/w-d-xo.html
I loved when you said "I feel like I can turn off that part of my brain (the one that analyses vocal technique) when I listen to her" and I felt that. I too have that part on my brain and when I listen to her, it's as if I'm being taken on a wonderful journey of colors and emotions.
Everything you said was spot on. Aurora doesn't just sing, she performs in an artistic way that most do not. I catch myself humming or whistling Aurora tunes throughout the day at work without realizing that I am. 😊
Ah I love this! Aurora has been a favorite artist of mine for a very long time. She’s incredibly unique and so so skilled - I love hearing your insight!
When she broke the wall and you got a "scared" reaction to it, I think that plays right along with the point of this song. I love it. I love her. Your reaction is great!
you should definitely do more reactions to Aurora. She's so unique. It's hypnotic and I love the way her brain sees the world, which is reflected in her performances. She did one performance (I think Runaway) barefoot!
Aurora is unique, and she definitely has some kind of Magic, she sings and you trip to another dimension inside your own self And the message in this song is a powerful one. Enjoy your trip the Viking Fairy Queen is one of the kind talented, gifted and insanely cute!
Aurora isn't human, she's something beyond human. She's like the embodiment of purity, that kind children have when they can still see the magic of the world, good or bad.
You should watch The Seed’s music video. I also recommend: Through the Eyes of a Child at the cathedral, It Happened Quiet and Animal at the Current, and Runaway and Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1 at the Nobel.
The emotional connection transcends any & all analysis as moot points. I recently watched her lollapalooza performance in Chile. No expectations and although I didn’t intend to, I was there till the end. She embodies the law of attraction in a magical, ethereal and other worldly way. Her connection with the audience is a force of nature. What an amazing bright light in a world of chaos and darkness.
Aurora brings forth something ancient and wonderful with every performance, something that belonged to all our souls before we lost it in our race to run faster than humanity.💙
Different, Aurora is always different. This track, like all her performances, is done as to how she feels at the time. This one is so different from the recorded version.
I love your way of putting it “you have to break the binary”. That’s something I never quite understood before. I’m slowly working towards that and it’s a process to unlearn what I used to do. Your way of explaining things has helped me out tremendously!
I really love Aurora and her songs and I agree that her voice is really beautifull, I think you can totally see how present she is during her performences
She can, and occasionally does do that kind of unleashed belty power you were talking about. She will often use an extremely resonant, and ethereal kind of tone, which I've found can be just as impactful. She's definitely one of a kind, and a true artist. Also, totally agree that pitch correction of good singers is odd, and should probably be avoided at all costs.
I'm almost sure she was sick in this performance, you can see that on her second verse for sure. I hear her live all the time, and in this one her voice is more nasal here, or whoever you say that in English. It is also clear when she does how low voice, very nasal compared to any other performance. But she still did well, extremely well. And of course, I can be just wrong here and she was not sick hehe Edit: came back to say maybe it was not a nasal sound. But it was my way to describe her voice not sounding like it sounds. It was different here, something was off, which to me it sounds like when semeone is sick from a flue or something like that.
Great reaction! Love how you analyze and appreciate performances. 🙌If you haven’t listened to/analyzed Aurora’s murder song live at the 2015 Nobel peace prize concert, I’d love to see that. I find her performance so mesmerizing.
Love it when you react to Aurora! Would like to hear your reaction to Different Kind of Human live at Christines Radiofestival. She performs the whole song sitting on the floor and it’s still so captivating. Another fun one would be I Went Too Far live on the Honda stage. I’d love to hear your thoughts on her voice techniques there.
First: turns out I had a few songs of her on Spotify already and didn't notice Second: I haven't watched your videos on awhile (distracted) and I was very surprised to get a heart. I forgot how much you interact with your followers
also considering this song is about humanity's lack of care for the climate, always talking about how we need to change our ways but never really doing so, i think playing with expectations (building and building only to pull away again) to the point where you don't really have closure is incredibly intentional in the context of the song. in that case it is very much a reflection of life. very interesting how your analysis ties that together!
Fun fact: she actually doesn’t like the sound of her own voice and hadn't intended on becoming a singer, she only intended to create music as a side hobby. She was discovered after someone uploaded one of her recordings online without her permission (which she was actually angry about). But I'm glad she decided to go for it after meeting with a music company, and i think the world is better for it. And on a personal note, i get the impression that she's neurodivergent. I haven't seen any confirmation of this, just a hunch (I'm also neurodivergent and we often recognise our own neurotype when we know enough about it). Just little tells here and there, with her mannerisms and eccentricities (in the words of her own sisters, who were worried she was going to be bullied in school due to that and her very unique fashion style), the fact that she hated hugs growing up (i think she still feels uncomfortable about them?), and liking to be alone more than most kids. She taught herself to play piano around the age of 5 or 6 too with imitating notes from classical music. She's highly empathic and clearly gets affected by the negative state of the world (the neurotypical assumption of those with both ADHD & ASD - especially ASD - is that we don't feel empathy, which is often the completely wrong assumption. Most of us feel things **very** deeply, deeper than most neurotypicals). Also her unique views which are very often found within neurodivergence, as most of us are very innovative thinkers and often think outside the box. There's more but those are the major ones i can think of atm. I'm so glad i found her music. And I'm even more glad to see that her uniqueness and differences are celebrated rather than condemned (as they often are for neurodivergents, or even those who are just different from the "normal" in some way).
Cool reaction and as always interesting thoughts. This is softer version of the song. In album version chorus is much stronger and little more like "aggressive" (like going to fight for a nature). But both versions are beautiful. Also as far i know she was a little sick during this particular performance (even if she sounds great). Anyway love her music and expressiveness. She is just great:).
Try Through the Eyes of Child from Vevo live. An amazing jaw dropping vocal from her and her band. Enjoy and hope to hear more great informative Aurora reactions from you in the near future,
more aurora reactions yes, I recommend Through the eyes of a child (Nidarosdomen) or murder song (Nobel Peace Prize Concert) as some of my fave live performances of hers
Would love to see and hear your reactions and thoughts on Diana Ankudinova. I recently discovered her sound through reactions and she's hauntingly addictive!
I mean tbh I can't think of any "solo" artist of ANY gender even close to her league! Sure there's great singers, but they lack story, or performance, or personality, or lyricism, or something... But what does she lack? I can think of nothing!
Omg I'm so happy you made this video, I love Aurora! It would be really cool if you could react to Mahmood too - he's an italian singer with a very unique timbre. My favorite live performance of him is probably Sabri Aleel at Notte Della Taranta, in which he sings in arab (he's half egyptian) but his live performances of Inuyasha are also very interesting and you would probably find a lot of things to point out on the way he sings
I think this whole "expectation of crescendo" is a very american viewpoint. Just relax and think of it like shes telling a story. Not everything needs to be a "build up" to a "huge thing".
Great reaction. Probably not the best performance to react to though. She was sick that day, and it affect her voice a little. You can hear that she has a stuffed nose. lol
I would love to see you react to this live video of Emilie Kouatchou, Broadway's first black Christine in "Phantom of the Opera" doing "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again" at a soundcheck. I think her placement is really unique for a legit soprano role, she brings so much power to it. th-cam.com/video/Ry0K3_78KW0/w-d-xo.html
Hey Sam, there's this new girl group called Flo, and I feel like you would love their performances! I highly recommend Cardboard Box since it's their most popular song, but I also really enjoy their performance of their song Immature 💗
I love how you dont act like the most important shit is to describe which seconds are "head/chest/mix" as if that is the actual important part. Love "chesty stuff" xD
I kid you not, I’ve been subscribed for years. This is the first time in probably a year that you showed up on my home page. Pretty upsetting. TH-cam should do better.
I would love for you to do a reaction on any of Rosalia’s live performances. She also has that quality of being so into her performance that it kinda makes you forget of the vocal technique aspect (while still having an incredible voice)
It seems, incredible as that may be, that you never heard one of Aurora’s songs, especially in a live performance. You expectation would have been different if you had.
If you're a voice teacher then you're going to want to join the countless other vocal teachers reacting to Haley Reinhart with postmodern jukebox cover of"creep". Join them for a Haleygasm.
Hi Sam, sadly the performance you have chosen is not one of her bests, she was sick and I think also wasn't one of the bests arrangements although she and her band usually excel at that. Love you channel
That rant about pitch correction? The music industry now pitch correct or autotune *everyone* they can. They don't care what the unprocessed voice sounds like. So old Queen songs gets "corrected" to robot voice. That's what the music industry thinks we want to pay for. Not sure how some people in the music industry even dares to show their titles on their business cards since they are dirtbags in need of tar and feathers. People should take every opportunity to ask them "what music did you autotune to death today?"
This is a "soft" acoustic version of "The Seed", in the music video and on the album version the building part DOES go into a powerful chorus. I highly recommend the music video it is powerful both visually and musically.
👍💕
I love this version. But my favorite is her alone, at the piano doing this song.
The rhythm is just a tad bit different, which I think is what I fing appealing.
I especially love when she flashes the peace sign to the camera and says.." peace and love" with her smiling......
My dream concer with Aurora is actually.
Just her and a piano. ...but Damm, I really want to hear her do Under the water once......but I do not think it would work without a full band.
But then I can hear, home, puppet, why did you have to go, and exit for love as examples......exist for love is a great example...for me.....I do not care for the structure or phonics of the song. But when it's just her and a piano.....I would gladly dance to it at my wedding.
Infections of a different kind
Man, there are so many of her songs that I prefer with just her.
Kinda like Neil Young for me....the older generation will understand it.
I am somewhat but not very much familiar with Aurora, and I only recognised the song at the line “you cannot eat money”.
YES! The Seed MV is a powerful, moving and important work of art. This VEVO music performance would then not only click, but would take on new dimensions and meaning.

And she was sick in this performance! She's amazing, thank you for giving her space on your channel
you should definitely do more reactions to Aurora. She's so unique. It's hypnotic and I love the way her brain sees the world, which is reflected in her performances. She did one performance (I think Runaway) barefoot!
I would love to see a reaction to everything matters
She has such an otherworldly sound. It transports you. Love Running with the Wolves.
THE SEED HAIK CONSERT, listen to this version of this song and you'll see more power
Aurora is unique, and she definitely has some kind of Magic, she sings and you trip to another dimension inside your own self And the message in this song is a powerful one.
Enjoy your trip the Viking Fairy Queen is one of the kind talented, gifted and insanely cute!

She still sounds so good even with the fact that u can hear her sick.
Wow a gorgeous voice! Like a….flower, blooming.

I love her. I like to describe her as haunting.
Aurora seems to have a great ability to sing acapella, acoustic or extremely powerful versions of any song.
I really love Aurora and her songs and I agree that her voice is really beautifull, I think you can totally see how present she is during her performences

Nice to see you back to Aurora its been to long and a sub from me stay safe
Yeah Aurora 😍 thanks Sam!
I agree with all your critiques on Aurora. She is my favorite artist. But you nailed it. She takes you there.

Another fun one would be I Went Too Far live on the Honda stage. I’d love to hear your thoughts on her voice techniques there.
The big release happens in the studio version, and it always makes me cry. But if you want to hear it live, the Haik live is great for that :)
Please tell us you've listened to the studio version on repeat. ngl I have.
Gotta love a bit of Aurora
Okay I think I really like aurora
First: turns out I had a few songs of her on Spotify already and didn't notice
Second: I haven't watched your videos on awhile (distracted) and I was very surprised to get a heart. I forgot how much you interact with your followers

Great video!!
The haik version of this song has a beautiful male choir thats worth checking out 🤗❤ ty for listening to aurora with us again!
You should check out the " like a version" performance of this song .... can we talk about those harmonies 😩❤
Aoura did a cover of life on mars and I highly recommend it its so good and so relaxing
Appreciated the West Side Story rant, let us hear the humanity in human voices
do annother Aurora, she is captivating!
This one of Aurora’s albums is easily my favorite.
Fun fact: she actually doesn’t like the sound of her own voice and hadn't intended on becoming a singer, she only intended to create music as a side hobby.

She had a cold apparently in this recording.
she was sick when she sang this. and the studio version is waay different in terms of instrumentation and power

She sounds a little different than normal, like she has a cold…still kills it though!
Her hair is also amazing. Not many people could carry that off
Is head voice looked down on? Or just keeping it balanced? I feel I’m a head voice singer mostly.
You're ARŒURORÆ made me laugh so hard😭
Yay Aurora! Have you reacted to Dirty Loops yet? If not I’d love to see it!
more aurora reactions yes, I recommend Through the eyes of a child (Nidarosdomen) or murder song (Nobel Peace Prize Concert) as some of my fave live performances of hers
oh thanks for this
I absolutely love this!
You should hear some of her other songs as well as the none acoustic version of this one ❤
You are so awesome. Thank you for your videos.
Would love to see and hear your reactions and thoughts on Diana Ankudinova. I recently discovered her sound through reactions and she's hauntingly addictive!
holy shit i am so happy you did this 😭😭😭 please please react to the it happened quiet live performance!!! it's absolutely magical and heavenly
I think this is way more powerful than the studio version.
Best female artist of the past 10 years hands down.
👍😍😍
I mean tbh I can't think of any "solo" artist of ANY gender even close to her league! Sure there's great singers, but they lack story, or performance, or personality, or lyricism, or something...
But what does she lack? I can think of nothing!
@@AvaNightingale Ever listen to Ane Brun?She was an inspiration for Aurora, really interesting artist but of course been around a while.
@@AvaNightingale
Absolutely agree 👍
You need to listen to Eivor. She’s similar.

She is the best!!
She has a cold here
Would love for you to react to the music video, it is vastly different. I love em both! 😀
I think this whole "expectation of crescendo" is a very american viewpoint. Just relax and think of it like shes telling a story. Not everything needs to be a "build up" to a "huge thing".
Great music video and reaction! Thank you!
It the voice tech per se...it's the vibrational frequency....it's healing....that's it.
Great reaction. Probably not the best performance to react to though. She was sick that day, and it affect her voice a little. You can hear that she has a stuffed nose. lol

and she did this while sick with a head cold~
I’ve heard many times perfect pitch isn’t perfect singing. AURORA is the embodiment of unapologetically walking in her artistry.
LF System - Afraid to Feel is the song imprinted in my brain currently 😵💫
Hey Sam, there's this new girl group called Flo, and I feel like you would love their performances! I highly recommend Cardboard Box since it's their most popular song, but I also really enjoy their performance of their song Immature 💗
What will it take for you to react to my singing transformation thanks
Have you reacted to Regina Spektor? Loveology live at The Kennedy Center is a good example.
You need to listen to the original version ❤
Would be nice/polite/respectful if you would link to the original video.
I love how you dont act like the most important shit is to describe which seconds are "head/chest/mix" as if that is the actual important part. Love "chesty stuff" xD

A like and a comment for the algorithm, and also just a hi. Hi!
See her live. Videos don't do her voice justice :)
Off Topic. Has Sam ever “reacted” to Lucy Thomas?
I haven't! Is there a specific song you'd recommend?
I would love for you to do a reaction on any of Rosalia’s live performances. She also has that quality of being so into her performance that it kinda makes you forget of the vocal technique aspect (while still having an incredible voice)
He did a performance of hers previously and said pretty much the same thing about her lol
It seems, incredible as that may be, that you never heard one of Aurora’s songs, especially in a live performance. You expectation would have been different if you had.
You definitely want to listen to the studio version of this, it's got the drop you're clearly desperate for!

She sounds like she has a cold here.😢
She was sick actually, so yes lol
Aurora just brings forth what she feels, what is needed, what is healing, evoking emotion. You pause too much.
Hi Sam, sadly the performance you have chosen is not one of her bests, she was sick and I think also wasn't one of the bests arrangements although she and her band usually excel at that. Love you channel
That rant about pitch correction? The music industry now pitch correct or autotune *everyone* they can. They don't care what the unprocessed voice sounds like. So old Queen songs gets "corrected" to robot voice. That's what the music industry thinks we want to pay for.
Not sure how some people in the music industry even dares to show their titles on their business cards since they are dirtbags in need of tar and feathers. People should take every opportunity to ask them "what music did you autotune to death today?"
less mad Björk :S and bad take on Cranberries , and real singing less suicidal Lana Del Ray , boring Enya at the end ? but i do agree she can sing :D
