@@seochangbinsarms How? Some of the greatest wisdoms are put into words by children. Reading the lyrics I can totally see an 11yo writing this as well.
@@DM-nw5lu “when u stop listening to the amazing tone she has and just the words” doesn’t give the impression that it’s in a good way. It literally just sounds condescending
Billie Eilish told Vanity Fair: “When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video.Something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”
I'd like to add that she was already making music together with her brother Finneas, but the Runaway video spurred her to try have a go professionally.
@@shelfwarrior42 Exactly. Aurora is a wouldn't like it. She wouldn't like Billie Eilish's attitude either. She would probably tell Billie to learn to smile.
As a metal head and hard rock enthusiast, Aurora is actually a guilty pleasure for me. Aurora may make indie art synth pop music but she's a metal head herself. She writes and produces her own music from a very young age and is very empathic, hopefully you dive more into her discography. Definitely check out her live stuff.
There’s very few artists that I can say Sound even better live. Most, if we’re lucky, sound like the recording. But in Aurora’s case, her live performances are just on a whole other level. So I definitely recommend checking out her live and acoustic versions of her songs in addition to their recorded versions. I think each version brings something different. But her energy and the way you can see how connected she is with her music really just takes her songs to a whole new level when you see her live. She has had some great performances on the Nobel Peace stage, as well as a cathedral (who’s name I’m blanking on and can pronounce anyways lol. I’m sure someone has already commented about it cause that show was breathtaking. )
Aurora Aksnes, 26, from Norway. Started forming melodies at age 6, the words came around 9 years of age. She is a singer, songwriter, producer, dancer. She has been touring worldwide since age 17. She recently performed a sold out concert at The Sydney Opera House in Australia. Multi talented and absolutely great when seen live. I hope you explore more from Aurora. Thanks.
@@antsyhiker5675 I know, Megabump, well you are Factually Wrong, Aurora got recognition for Runaway at 18, 10 years ago, AJ got it for winning NGT 10 years ago, they have both been Artists virtually the same amount of time.
4:00 - I tear up every time because she somehow articulates a nostalgia for a homeland I've never seen, and a feeling a lot of us share that "we're not from *here* ".
I highly recommend you fall down the rabbit hole Aurora travels through. She writes, sings and composes all her own music. Live, well , you'll be amazed. Better then studio. But I really recommend listening to her covers. Check out her cover of Teardrop from Massive Attack. She has one of the most unique & genuinely purest voices you'll ever listen to. Food for your soul.
Great reaction. This was filmed near her parents home, she played in those woods as a child and the fjord behind is the view from her parents. She is extremely talented and has several albums planned out since the first one including her last album to be released after she is gone. I would suggest you start with young Aurora and go through her discography chronologically. She is best served live, watching her perform live is mesmerizing and fascinating. Looking forward to your journey, hoping you dive deep.
I love metal and AURORA. I think the way her building up song is very similar to metal band like Iron Maiden, TOOL. Many metal people love AURORA and she loves also metal. So it is your fate to love AURORA. Enjoy! So many great Iive performance on YT are waiting for you.
She's the voice on the Frozen movies...I can definitely hear the amazing influence of Delores O'Riordan (my favourite irish band).. I'm born and raised in Ireland on their music as well as many others, Corr's, Sharon Shannon, Mary Black, and there's definitely a celtic air there although maybe that could be what Norwegian music sounds like?.. Eitherway, Aurora sounds very ethereal, faerie like, angelic. x
Aurora is unique! I hope you will continue to listen to her. Yes, she writes her own lyrics/music. One gets easily enchanted by her! She has a very devoted fanbase - "Warriors & Weirdors". For something different from what you just listened to is her song: "The Seed" Thanks for reacting to her. ✌️
No matter what genre you're into , and I'm mostly into metal , aurora hits that intense soft indie electro spot. Her voice is ethereal. This song has me sobbing every time I hear it. It hits sooooo hard ✨️
Aurora did a great live performance of this song, among others, at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert a few years ago. You can't go wrong with any of her live performances. She's a rare gem in the industry and on this earth. Aurora's songs, music, and interviews are wonderful rabbit holes to get lost within...she is a breath of fresh air.
Aurora live is an experience, you can check out her performances of Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at the Nobel Peace Prize. She was very young, just like in this music video. If you want something newer, I highly recommend her performance of Gentle Earthquakes live at KEXP Btw, Bjork was in the crowd during this performance 💜
Yes, it is said Bjork was at the 2018 KEXP performance, she has several KEXP performances, we want to make sure he gets the right one if he reacts to it.
@@MBella123 just want to make sure because 2018 is so epic, I have been disappointed when reactors have done the wrong one, all her performances are fantastic, but this one is epic, lol
you want to see a live performance? Anything from the Nobel Peace Prize concert or anything from the concert at Nidarosdomen. Those will be originals. For covers, check out what she does with David Bowie's Life on Mars and The Beatles Across the Universe.
I am glad you started reacting to Aurora. She really is very unique and many appreciate the purines and sincerity in her performance and the songs messages in general You definitely need to check out „The seed“ , „Murder song“, „Daydreamer“ and „The river“. If you want a really nice medley with all her best songs you can also just simply listen to „Aurora Haik Concert“. Then you covered the most important parts and also get a really great understanding of her style. This Haik Concert was actually how I found her and it was the perfect entry for me.
I love Aurora - she looks like an nymph, sounds like an angel and is a total crackhead 🤣 My favs are: The Seed (based on a Cree Indian Proverb): th-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/w-d-xo.html Runaway Live - Nobel Peace Prize: th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html A Dangerous Thing (personal album fav): th-cam.com/video/ADUhOld8jrQ/w-d-xo.html (Also love Running With the Wolves, Queendom and Animal)
"it happened quiet" at the current........not one bad song in her catalouge. sounds like she caught another fan, you won't be disappointed. almost forgot......toodles.
So, you have found our second Norwegian gem. Aurora is also a prodigy-child. She has a huge fanbase and a deep rabbithole to dive into. Enjoy man. She`s very special. A nature child and Norway`s answere to mother earth. I will suggest Aurora at the Nobel peace prize singing "MURDER SONG 5 4 3 2 1". with only her singing and a man playing an acoustic guitar. It`s live as you wanted to see. Aurora express her music through her movements. She`s in the zone when she is singing. By the way, she has a lot of live videos on youtube. She has travelled alot around the world, during her conserts. So she is quite famous. Best regards from Norway.
You've started down a rabbit hole of probably THE most authentic, artistic, honest and creative artists working today. She really is something else! You absolutely should check out her live stuff. She is even better live than recorded! ps. I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that she is beloved by mealheads all over the world!
I would listen maybe react to this same song, “Runaway”, live st the Nobal Peace Prize Concert. List to the same song at other live venues. She wrote this when wads child 9 or 11 years I believe some else probably commented on the correct age. She say this song is gift from her younger self to her older self. At the same live Nobel Peace Prize Concert her performance of “Murder Song 3 2 1” is so good you could hear a pin drop until the applause.
Great reaction, and welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole because you'll be going down it and loving every minute of it. Her live performances are better than her music videos because she totally owns her performances. Since you just experienced her official "Runaway" video, perhaps watching her perform it live would be good for you. May I suggest her show at the Honda Stage singing this song. You won't be able to take your eyes off her. Search for : Aurora - Runaway (Live on the Honda Stage). And yes, she writes and produces all her songs. "Runaway" was written when she was eleven years old. She began teaching herself piano when she was six, wrote her first song "Lucky" when she was nine, and she has never had a music lesson.
Aurora is soooooo good! My favorite song of hers is It Happened Quiet th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html Another awesome song where she is a support singer with Wardruna is this one. th-cam.com/video/FnkTuHP9q3o/w-d-xo.html
John counting down before the video starts playing and all I can think about is Murder Song... Murder Song performance from the Nobel Peace Prize concert would be a great reaction for a live performance.
Suggestions: I went to far. Official MV or Cure for me. It's a lot of full concerts on TH-cam like live at Lollapalooza 2023 and the full concert in Nidarosdomen cathedral in Trondheim, Norway 🇳🇴 and many more. She's hilarious too, she's a comedian on stage between her songs. Making her audience laugh 😂 😂 No wonder her weirdos love her. 👍 Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Great reaction! Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 26 years old!). She will often perform her songs quite differently - sometimes with her band, other times stripped down to just her and one instrument, a cappella, with full orchestra, etc. - so it is definitely worth listening to different versions of the same song. Also, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well. A short list of original songs: Runaway - Nobel Peace Prize concert and her music video Through the Eyes of a Child - Nidarosdomen concert, my recommendation Live Stripped - VIVO UK Lift It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well Churchyard - Live on KEXP Winter Bird - Nidarosdomen concert and her music video Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1 - Nobel Peace Prize Concert Lucky - Nidarosdomen concert Little Boy in the Grass - Nidarosdomen concert The Seed - Music Video, HAIK Concert The River - Music video, Live in Bergen 2020 Exist For Love - Music video, Daydreamer - Music video She also does some awesome covers: Life on Mars - David Bowie Believer - Imagine Dragons God is a Woman - Ariana Grande Across the Universe - John Lennon Teardrop - Massive Attack Rasputin - Boney M And of course there is her latest album “The Gods we can Touch” which is pure gold!
Omg Aurora Yesss!!🤩 Her live performances are something else.. Start with Through the Eyes of a Child live at the cathedral. And also Murder Song at nobel peace prize concert. And Churchyard at Kexp!
Her voice and sound has matured so much since that first album, if you think her music from 2015 is impressive i cant wait to see how you feel about her music from 2018-2022
I so hope you venture down the Aurora rabbit hole. I adore her music...and her as a person. Runaway is FAR and away her biggest song.....but I'd rank it as her 15th best song, at most. Top tracks, for me, would be Lucky(live at Nidarosdomen), Wake Up(a demo), A Different Kind of Human, The Woman I Am, All is Soft Inside, Giving in to the Love, Winter Bird, I Went Too Far, Soulless Creatures, Infections of a Different Kind, Little Boy in the Grass(live at Nidarosdomen), annnd I need to stop or else I'll just keep going forever lol. She's especially amazing live....especially that Nidarosdomen show. It's easily one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen Tool and The White Stripes _in person_ whereas I only saw Nidarosdomen on my laptop w headphones! But it's _that_ good. It was actually my first introduction to Aurora...on March 15, 2020. I remember the date because of how impactful that whole concert was. It left me with my jaw on the floor and my brain buzzing with inspired possibility and emotionally cathartic hope. I'm legit grateful she even exists....
Awesome to see this amazing artist find her way to your channel, John! 👍🤟 She's fantastic live, and you'll get a lot of great suggestions. But since you said you'd like to see this live, I hope you do the Nobel Peace Prize version of Runaway next, just to make the comparison. That's perhaps her most popular live performance anyway. It's a great intro to Aurora live.
In my mind, she's a mix of Bjork, and Delores from the Cranberries. My advice to you is to look at all the songs/performances suggested, and pick a couple of the less popular requests. Aurora has so much to offer, and I feel like people only recommend the same 3 or 4 songs. Obviously, all of the songs are amazing, but I feel like people miss out on some of the true gems when they go with the most popular requests.
John, this concert th-cam.com/video/8un_miodCoo/w-d-xo.html (38mins) is Aurora performing several of her songs in a forest! If you are ever inclined I believe you will definitely not regret experiencing it. Lightning captured in a bottle. The attached link is the 2nd half of a documentary about Aurora (the 1st half highly recommend watching also) 🙂
Over 550 million views of this video should tell you that this artist is special,and to think she wrote this at the age of 11/12 years is astonishing but the fact that she started writing songs at the age of 9 especially one called Lucky which you should definitely react to because trust me it’s a masterpiece and her live performance of Lucky at the nidarosdomen cathedral is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful emotional moments ever, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Aurora live 3 times and at my age of 66 I have seen scores of artists live but no one has come close to moving my emotions like Aurora,I’ve no hesitation in saying she’s the best live performer I’ve ever seen it’s the only way to see her for you get to see the whole package of this Genius of an artist,Aurora has a catalog of songs with lyrics that make you think deeply about life and the world we live in but what I love is that she has never craved to become a mainstream artist she has always stayed true to herself and what she believes music should be all about for her music is a medicine for everyone and I for one am blessed to have her music her words of poetry her medicine in my life.she she simply is a Genius ❤️
Aurora was 11 years old when she wrote this. Aurora really shines during LIVE performances, her LIVE version of Runaway is here th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html she also sang Murder song at the same venue,th-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/w-d-xo.html I also highly recommend Aurora singing LIVE, through the eyes of a child, th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html also, LIVE "It happened quiet" th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
Well, here's the link to the live version of Runaway, at a Nobel Peace Prize concert, no less. th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html If you're easily affected by emotional performances, bring some tissues. Also, try not to look the lyrics up if you're easily affected by those as well. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Aurora wrote this song as an 11 year-old girl (though the lyrics were co-written with her producer later). Oh, and this was not even my favourite song, but I have great respect for it. (My favourite song remains "The Seed"). Don't worry Mr Reeves, Aurora has plenty of equally powerful songs for you to check out.
Not everyone can write ones owns song at age 10 or 11 and get about 1 billion likes on social media. like her music or not, but she is extremly talented. great reaction !
No, No, No, none of that studio stuff... ...she must be appreciated LIVE!!! Quiet live at the current, Nobel Peace Prize, 5,4,3,2,1(Murder Song) the entire KEXP Sessions--LIVE!!! FFS LIVE!!!
Omg this brings me back to when I found her when I was my last year secondary school in 2016, nostalgic feelings here haha I also definitely recommend you one of her more recent songs Storm that features the Taiwanese singer Wu Qing Feng (please check out the original version😁)
Aurora joined a couple live performances of Helvegen by Wardruna that are absolutely haunting. (If you've watched Vikings on The History Channel, you've heard Wardruna.) th-cam.com/video/FnkTuHP9q3o/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/w-d-xo.html
Oh man, you have a wonderful journey ahead of you. Do yourself a fsvour and go down the Aurora rabbit hole. She has 4 amazing albums and she's even better live.

And yes, she writes and produces all her songs. "Runaway" was written when she was eleven years old. She began teaching herself piano when she was six, wrote her first song "Lucky" when she was nine, and she has never had a music lesson.
Through The Eyes Of A Child live at Nidarosdomen is amazing.I saw her live last year and it was amazing.
👍😍
Rabbit hole. All good.
You should hear her cover of Massive Attacks, Teardrop. Ooooh mahhh gawwd, it’s magical 😍
Aurora is soooooo good! My favorite song of hers is It Happened Quiet th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
Another awesome song where she is a support singer with Wardruna is this one. th-cam.com/video/FnkTuHP9q3o/w-d-xo.html
Agree with you for her song "It happened quiet" (live at Current). That's a wonderful performance from Aurora
John counting down before the video starts playing and all I can think about is Murder Song... Murder Song performance from the Nobel Peace Prize concert would be a great reaction for a live performance.
Wardruna, Aurora and Oslo Fagottkor: “Helvegen”. Look that up. It is other worldly. It’s live and it’s awesome. You need to check it out.
Saw her live this year and shes amazingly talented, has an ethereal beauty and a kind childlike personality
She did this live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Check it out.
Suggestions: I went to far. Official MV or Cure for me. It's a lot of full concerts on TH-cam like live at Lollapalooza 2023 and the full concert in Nidarosdomen cathedral in Trondheim, Norway 🇳🇴 and many more. She's hilarious too, she's a comedian on stage between her songs. Making her audience laugh 😂 😂 No wonder her weirdos love her. 👍 Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴
Aurora wrote this sing when she was just 11 years old.
The undertones sound like the lower register of a marimba
Great reaction!
Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 26 years old!). She will often perform her songs quite differently - sometimes with her band, other times stripped down to just her and one instrument, a cappella, with full orchestra, etc. - so it is definitely worth listening to different versions of the same song. Also, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well.
A short list of original songs:
Runaway - Nobel Peace Prize concert and her music video
Through the Eyes of a Child - Nidarosdomen concert, my recommendation Live Stripped - VIVO UK Lift
It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well
Churchyard - Live on KEXP
Winter Bird - Nidarosdomen concert and her music video
Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1 - Nobel Peace Prize Concert
Lucky - Nidarosdomen concert
Little Boy in the Grass - Nidarosdomen concert
The Seed - Music Video, HAIK Concert
The River - Music video, Live in Bergen 2020
Exist For Love - Music video,
Daydreamer - Music video
She also does some awesome covers:
Life on Mars - David Bowie
Believer - Imagine Dragons
God is a Woman - Ariana Grande
Across the Universe - John Lennon
Teardrop - Massive Attack
Rasputin - Boney M
And of course there is her latest album “The Gods we can Touch” which is pure gold!
Watch her live version from 2015
Omg Aurora Yesss!!🤩 Her live performances are something else.. Start with Through the Eyes of a Child live at the cathedral. And also Murder Song at nobel peace prize concert. And Churchyard at Kexp!
Second this👍😍😍
Her voice and sound has matured so much since that first album, if you think her music from 2015 is impressive i cant wait to see how you feel about her music from 2018-2022
Listen to Aurora live in Bergen soulless creatures ❤
Omg yes yes yes!!! This is the most exquisite performance of anything I’ve ever heard…like EVER!!!
I so hope you venture down the Aurora rabbit hole. I adore her music...and her as a person.
Runaway is FAR and away her biggest song.....but I'd rank it as her 15th best song, at most. Top tracks, for me, would be Lucky(live at Nidarosdomen), Wake Up(a demo), A Different Kind of Human, The Woman I Am, All is Soft Inside, Giving in to the Love, Winter Bird, I Went Too Far, Soulless Creatures, Infections of a Different Kind, Little Boy in the Grass(live at Nidarosdomen), annnd I need to stop or else I'll just keep going forever lol.
She's especially amazing live....especially that Nidarosdomen show. It's easily one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen Tool and The White Stripes _in person_ whereas I only saw Nidarosdomen on my laptop w headphones! But it's _that_ good. It was actually my first introduction to Aurora...on March 15, 2020. I remember the date because of how impactful that whole concert was. It left me with my jaw on the floor and my brain buzzing with inspired possibility and emotionally cathartic hope. I'm legit grateful she even exists....
Awesome to see this amazing artist find her way to your channel, John! 👍🤟
She's fantastic live, and you'll get a lot of great suggestions. But since you said you'd like to see this live, I hope you do the Nobel Peace Prize version of Runaway next, just to make the comparison. That's perhaps her most popular live performance anyway. It's a great intro to Aurora live.
In my mind, she's a mix of Bjork, and Delores from the Cranberries. My advice to you is to look at all the songs/performances suggested, and pick a couple of the less popular requests. Aurora has so much to offer, and I feel like people only recommend the same 3 or 4 songs. Obviously, all of the songs are amazing, but I feel like people miss out on some of the true gems when they go with the most popular requests.
You should listen to her singing with wardruna. This is also a live song
you should hear her together with "Heilung"
Oh????? WHAT??? Reaction to aurora??? my fairy🥰
Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) live at Nobel peace prize concert
It reminds me Ruelle with songs like Closing in.
John, this concert th-cam.com/video/8un_miodCoo/w-d-xo.html (38mins) is Aurora performing several of her songs in a forest! If you are ever inclined I believe you will definitely not regret experiencing it. Lightning captured in a bottle. The attached link is the 2nd half of a documentary about Aurora (the 1st half highly recommend watching also) 🙂
Over 550 million views of this video should tell you that this artist is special,and to think she wrote this at the age of 11/12 years is astonishing but the fact that she started writing songs at the age of 9 especially one called Lucky which you should definitely react to because trust me it’s a masterpiece and her live performance of Lucky at the nidarosdomen cathedral is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful emotional moments ever, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Aurora live 3 times and at my age of 66 I have seen scores of artists live but no one has come close to moving my emotions like Aurora,I’ve no hesitation in saying she’s the best live performer I’ve ever seen it’s the only way to see her for you get to see the whole package of this Genius of an artist,Aurora has a catalog of songs with lyrics that make you think deeply about life and the world we live in but what I love is that she has never craved to become a mainstream artist she has always stayed true to herself and what she believes music should be all about for her music is a medicine for everyone and I for one am blessed to have her music her words of poetry her medicine in my life.she she simply is a Genius ❤️
You should also check out Diana Andukinova Cant help falling in love and Wicked game, also Dimash song SOS...will blow your mind xx❤
This song was composed by Aurora when she was 11 years old
Aurora was 11 years old when she wrote this. Aurora really shines during LIVE performances, her LIVE version of Runaway is here th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html she also sang Murder song at the same venue,th-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/w-d-xo.html I also highly recommend Aurora singing LIVE, through the eyes of a child, th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html also, LIVE "It happened quiet" th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
Well, here's the link to the live version of Runaway, at a Nobel Peace Prize concert, no less.
th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html
If you're easily affected by emotional performances, bring some tissues. Also, try not to look the lyrics up if you're easily affected by those as well. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the fact that Aurora wrote this song as an 11 year-old girl (though the lyrics were co-written with her producer later).
Oh, and this was not even my favourite song, but I have great respect for it. (My favourite song remains "The Seed"). Don't worry Mr Reeves, Aurora has plenty of equally powerful songs for you to check out.
She wrote the lyrics when she was 11 too👍😊
Not everyone can write ones owns song at age 10 or 11 and get about 1 billion likes on social media. like her music or not, but she is extremly talented. great reaction !
No, No, No, none of that studio stuff...
...she must be appreciated LIVE!!!
Quiet live at the current, Nobel Peace Prize, 5,4,3,2,1(Murder Song) the entire KEXP Sessions--LIVE!!! FFS LIVE!!!
She is singing "Now" take me home , not "Lord" , its her accent Lol .Her live versions are even better.
Aurora - Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert
Welcome to Norwegian music 🎶😁💕
Yes! She writes her own songs since she was like 6/7. She’s self taught
Omg this brings me back to when I found her when I was my last year secondary school in 2016, nostalgic feelings here haha
I also definitely recommend you one of her more recent songs Storm that features the Taiwanese singer Wu Qing Feng (please check out the original version😁)
Nice reaction! Live versions of Aurora is the way to go. Welcome to the rabbit hole of Aurora👍👍
Fun fact: she is a hard metal head! love hard rock, and metal band, goes to rave party... such a unique personality who will never fit in any moled.
She said she wrote this song when she was 11 I believe
Fenomenal artist. Absolutely special.
Aurora joined a couple live performances of Helvegen by Wardruna that are absolutely haunting. (If you've watched Vikings on The History Channel, you've heard Wardruna.)

Her Running with the Wolves song was what first hooked me…then it’s just been obsession ever since.
