Can only say the same thing that Auroras mother said to her, “your music can be a medicine to the world” and guess what she was right what a wise woman ❤️
She has great parents who supported her all along. They raised her well. Thanks to them. I also like the fact that her sisters contribute, as make up artist and costume designer. Amazing family.
Wow, what a beautifully worded and accurate sentiment her mother spoke to her. Aurora's message of kindness and embracing your "weirdness" is so important. So many of us feel like misfits, or like something is wrong with us, because so many people in the world make us feel that way. (Directly and indirectly) Aurora reminds us to celebrate ourselves as the innately unique and beautiful creations we all are, and to strive to be kinder and better and more forgiving; of yourself as well as others. She's just a gem, who has a wisdom FAR beyond her years. 💎 She pulled me back from the edge, and helped me see my life differently. She made me realise that I can be at home in my own skin. She was definitely my much needed medicine. 🌻
I literally watch these because finally someone else cried too. Aurora is all about not being self conscious about your emotions - let the tears fall man.
Another great reaction! Aurora has said that she means lucky in the sense we are all lucky to be here on this earth. Aurora has experienced the loss of several friends, including one of her best in a car accident. She has a very deep sense of her own mortality, but not in a morbid way. More like a profound case of memento mori. I highly recommend watching a short documentary she made called 'Nothing is Eternal'. It will give you some good insights into who she is Also putting in another plug for 'I Went Too Far' live at the Honda stage. It really is one of her foundational songs like Runaway and Murder Song. Looking forward to the next one!
I like the interview where she talks about the album she's slowly putting together that will be released after her death. One song per decade th-cam.com/video/yZ3EOEv0Ffc/w-d-xo.html
@@TerryNationB7 Oh man. That was kind of a kick. I am at the same time subjugated and terrified. I don't even really know what to feel. But I am for sure full of admiration for this woman.
I really like Aurora and knew most of her songs but discovering this from your point of view has given me a new perspective and love her music even more. Thank you
It’s great to see someone who loves Aurora as much as you do. Not to worry; I cry too during many of her songs. For another beautiful young singer check out Daneliya Tuleshova with her entirely different cover of I Kissed A Girl. Very thought provoking.
Writing a song like this at 9 puts her firmly in "prodigy" realm. The fact that Norwegian is her birth language, but she writes all these songs in English! At the moment, as far as I'm concerned, she's one of the best songwriters in the world.
Crying during an Aurora song isn't weird, it's the norm! The Seed is a good choice for the next reaction! I would go for the the music video if I were you, it brings an extra level to her words.
@@noegarcia7491 No. I'd agree music video first. The HAIK one makes more sense when watched in context of the whole documentary. It is still excellent though.
@@odgregg Yes, that's what I think too. I have seen people react to the HAIK live version without knowing the music video, and most seems to miss much of the point and also miss details like her reaction during the song. The song has such a strong message, and it is enhanced and multiplied by the visuals in the video. (I do love the HAIK concert too! But, like you said, it works best in context. Also, to eveyone, please make sure you watch the HAIK documentary with the proper subtitles, because there are versions out there with automatic translations that hardly makes sence.)
Aurora is and Angle sent down from heaven.( I very much enjoy watching you get her). I came across her one day and when I'm having a bad day I will go and listen to her music and I will feel so much better don't worry she makes me cry every time I listen to her beautiful music. I'm soon to be 63 years old and I have listened to a lot of musicians in my life time but when I found her I feel through the lord I believe she has saved my soul. I will listen to her over and over. she and her music will be in my heart for the rest of my life. she is number one in my heart. so Larry you listen to her with all your heart and soul . because she is the one who will live in your heart for ever. thank you I'm so happy to have come across you also keep listening to all she has to offer. believe me when I say she will be the only one who hit you in the heart the way she has already done. I'm sure you will be listening to a hole lot of other artists but I'm telling you she will be the only artist who will grab your heart and soul. take care and have a great evening.
Thank you, WM. We are relatively the same age and I feel the same way. When artists like Karen Carpenter or Aurora come along, you know that you are going to go for quite the musical journey. Take care, my brother
Yes, sir you descreibe this masterpiece very well. The only thing you doesn't mentioned was the atmosphere in the perfomance ....or did you...for me this is the most perfect emotional performance i have seen and heard.... period. Great, great reaction. For me this is the ultimate anti-suicide song.
The song itself is an anti suicide (the offering) song and anti depression song (a war inside my mind). If you're about to take your life, remember the people you've met in life that you're leaving behind. Remember that there were also good times. Those times have passed. And just as the good times have passed, so will the bad ones passed. Nothing is eternal (Aurora quote). You just have to persevere, take one step at a time and sometimes it's a success to just get through the day. But at some point it will go up, then it will seem to you as if you see the light at the end of the tunnel. The first time in a long time and then you will be lucky that you are alive.
Aurora is very good She has a large following which is good I want all artist do you have a successful career wish only the best for her! I do have some of her song in my personal folder I like to Reactions of others see what they’re saying never reaction is a personal taste like eating food is personal feel like if you don’t like it or it’s good it’s OK mediocre I like lot of Aurora’s songs I personally think she’s excellent Vocal ability are wonderful
Thanks for another reaction! I'm here drinking my tea and smiling while you're listening to her. Knowing that I'm not the only one who feels the same with her music and life in general... Is always good to watch an honest moment, without the awful things that are happening in the world. Thank you and "um abraço" from Brazil!
Thank you so much! I think that if you put anyone in front of a camera and made them watch Aurora, I can't imagine it would be anything less than entertaining! Thank you for your kind words!
@@larryshair I agree! She’s a spiritual dive into the deep. If you’re doing the seed next you should do the version from the Heik Concert! Oh and my suggestion for you to react to is the song; A Different Kind Of Human.
What an abiding lifetime memory for those who were fortunate enough to attend this magical event. When simply viewing brings chills, what must it have been like to be there? As you said, simplicity is the key and in Aurora's case it is the accumulation of a range of simple elements - the lilt of her accent, her extremely clear annunciation, her piercing gaze, her fluid (and depending on the emotion, sometimes not so fluid) motions etc - then when the more complicated elements (her views of issues, her way with words, the music, venue, staging, supporting performers etc) are added it is a devastating combination. Sometimes "unique" is over used or not quite accurately applied but in Aurora's case the true meaning of the term is spot on.
Love this performance. So emotional, beautiful and mesmerizing. As i wrote comment with my interpretation yesterday under other video I will just copy it here: In my interpretation it is about depression so big it could end with suicide ("offering"). But then this someone feels/saw the light for a first time = found a reason to live and a light/hope in this whole darkness and changed mind. But fight still goes on as she sings on the end I am lucky to be alive with some sadness. But it is sad song with positive message. As even in a darker and most desperate time you can find a light you only need to survive these hard times and it will be better. Also it is mind blowing that 9 year old person can thing about such thing and write something like that. Of course maybe it was polished somehow later but it is mind blowing anyway. She is IMHO unique personality. Thx for a reaction.
A real test of one’s Aurora-ness is Queendom. It can be a good filter that lets through those who love acceptance, inclusion, and kindness. A test for tissues is the unreleased “Why Did You Have to Go.” It’s so very touching and should be preceded by learning the story behind it.
Hello again my friend. Another one in the books. And another awesome reaction 🔥🔥🔥 You know, I start to feel that I'm getting to know you a bit now, and so I'm really excited to see your reaction to the "The Seed" music video. I have a distinct feeling that it's going to be right down your alley. Some really dramatic footage and beautiful choreography. It's definitely on MY very top Aurora. Looking forward to that. Stay safe and stay blessed. Love from Norway ❤️
She is very much naturally an introvert, but also is very grounded in who she is and her music. She often refers to her songs as her children, and I think she is most comfortable while performing them. She is somewhat awkward and shy while not performing, though often witty and hilarious. An INFP if you will.
The songs aren't connected they have their own inspirations and she's said in an interview, 'None of my songs are about me'. You should look into her more, it's part of getting to really know her and enjoy her even more. There are interviews on youtube and plenty of sources online to find easily. I've listened and watched her a bit every day since January and reading the reactions there are plenty of misunderstandings or misinformation mixed in. Looking for her own words and feelings might help.
In listening to Aurora’s lyrics with the knowledge that she was so young when she wrote them, has always left me wondering if she isn’t one of those rare people who come into life with memories from a possible previous lifetime. The way she expresses herself as she sings lends to this idea, in that it seems as she’s working out experiences from distant past life and explaining all that she may have learned from it. It’s the music and words are pouring into the top of her head and flowing out through her entire being as she performs. Kind of deep and mystical thinking I know, but that’s what her music has always left me pondering.
Great reaction again, and don't worry will stick with you even if you've done ''Lucky'' :-) Liitle thing that I got to know from Aurora by watching evrything that i could find on her: she started creating music and song to be able to manage some of the emotion that she was feeling, coming from news-paper, or friend around her or herself, she didn't know how to deal with those emotion and creating music helped her, it was her healing tool. She is an empath, hyper sensitive, very intelligent but not understanding much about human, so she does music. Music that now heal us. For her, singning those song is like reopening a little drawer where she put that emotion and sink in it like it was at the start, that is where she is when she ''perfome'' she is not repeating the same song over and over, she is re-living that emotion. Happy to follow your discovering path.
Aurora has a sister with a bipolare condition, and Aurora wrote the first draft of this song 9yo to deal with what she saw her sister go through. This version was to bloody she has commented, so it was rewritten before it was sung in public. It is hauntingly beautiful. The whole consert is epic! 😊🤗🙏
Thank you for this information!!! I've always related this song with Aurora's sister bipolar disorder, but I had no idea whether she's really inspired Aurora to write it.
Great reactions. I appreciate the way you take her music in. I've subbed! ✌ She is a soothing balm for my soul. I feel honored to be alive when I hear her music. She has given me a massive gift that I'll be eternally gratefully for.
I have been enjoying your Aurora reactions. It looks like you are getting great suggestions for what to listen to next. I think you would really like "Infections of a Different Kind" from the HAIK concert. But you really can't go wrong with anything of hers.
Another very talented Norwegian singer you should check out is Angelina Jordan. She won Norway's Got talent at 8 yrs. old. She's 15 now, has over 130 covers, mostly old blues covers.
I know you reacted to this over a year ago but ive just watched it again and thought id comment .Regards the song Lucky she wrote the music or had the tune in her head at 9 yrs old , she added lyrics at around 15 , she did mention this in a interview i recall. Regards the venue , her management had to fight for the venue because the powers that be regarded some of her songs inappropriate for the venue. Well she is a Heathen afterall.
If you think that not crying through an Aurora song is something you have to fight to accomplish, you should probably watch The River, Auroras song about men allowing themselves to cry.
Great reaction 😊👍 Even though she wrote such lyrics at a young age, Aurora has been very clear that she had a happy childhood. Like someone else mentioned, I think it was her way of dealing with difficult emotions, experiences and thougts, writing these songs.
Pure, always think this word when she sings. She’s just fascinating to watch but the content of her songs is from someone much older (soul) than she is. I think she’s magical, regards from a new subscriber, I’m hoping you give Diana Ancudinova a listen also as she’s very hauntingly different and Pentatonic are also AMAZING. They do a first class rendition of Bohemian Rapsody btw. Mandy UK x
Ni-da-ros-do-men: Ni, like nee in needle. Da, like the Da in Darth Wader. Ros sounds like rose. Do, like the do in dorito. Men just like men. Now you can try. Since you are about to move in with Aurora anyway 😏 Greetings from Norway.
You should look up the word Sprite (European Mythology), that is how I see Aurora. Her power is to gently pull us into her world. She knows we need a respite from this harsh world. That is why I often cry from her songs, that this world should be better.
A nine year old writing: war....inside my mind, behind my eyes is calming down.... where does it come from? Looking forward to The Seed. A completely different vibe, but with an enormous power behind it. Listen to the details in the lyrics. "..... we are burning our fingers, but learn and forget..... It is more than a popsong.
Really nice reaction/analysis!!! After listening to this hundreds on times I’m pretty sure it’s about overcoming suicidal thoughts and ultimately deciding to move forward with living life. Excited to see your reaction to The Seed, it’s possibly her greatest song. The music video is a must watch, maybe also check out her live performance of The Seed at the HAIK, it’s amazing as well.
NRK the official Norwegian TV channel have a long history of producing very high quality live music and Aurora in Nidarosdomen is one of the very best ever. Also the acoustics in the cathedral is just fantastic. Just saying a word is turned into music when the echos come back.
This is one of the songs where she has never said what was the inspiration of the song, only kinda repeating the lyric in that we are all lucky to be alive and we should appreciate that and not squander it. But this is one of her songs that Aurora has said is very personal to her, Runaway is another. One of Aurora's sisters is Bi-Polar, and one running theory is that this is a song Aurora wrote about how she saw her sister living with that disease. The duality of a person living with this condition, how in a short amount of time, they can go from happy to complete despair, "a war behind 'their' eyes" if you will, then come out of that, sadly to fight the same battle another day. And like she wrote in the song, some days they can feel too numb to even bother fighting it. What ever the meaning behind the song though, i find the message in it quite obvious. Keep fighting, never give up, it won't be easy, but one day you will find the light at the end of that tunnel.
I just love Aurora, she always makes we cry, yes your right about your first thought being angelic, I try to finish off my watching binge with one of her music videos. If you liked the Running with wolfs video, then You need to watch her other music videos that maybe? won't cause so many tears, but still give you goosebumps Cure for me The seed Animal Apple tree Queendom
The incident you alluded may have been the one in Thailand, in 2018. A group of footballers on a caving trip were trapped. Or perhaps one of a number of mining incidents in recent years ( there have been instances in Australia, China, Chile and New Zealand) where there were trapped survivors who were eventually rescued.
The Nidarosdomen concert is a once in a life time concert for Aurora (and us). NRK (the Norwegian brodcaster) went "all in" on it. A "setup" with Nidarosdomen, Trondheim Solistene (one of the best string Orchestras in Norway), Oslo Fagottkor (choir) is not the avrage for a Norwegian artist 😎🇳🇴.
The song you were trying to think of was “Conquer” Conan performance was good but If were up to me after seeing her perform that on the Honda Stage, it is way more enjoyable especially her cute interactions with the audience. Thanks again.
I like the performance of "Conqueror" on the Jimmy Fallons show, don't think it was Conan. It was her first debut performance in the US and she absolutely kills it.
Only one minute in and... man what a nonsens chalenge to not cry over Aurora music, geeez, next video: ''The River'' that she wrote to tell man that they can cry too. ;-)
@@larryshair Celine is right. She wrote “The River” particularly to tell them that as she heard that the suicide rate was higher in men vs women, and her response was to tell men to stop repressing their emotions.. that it’s good to let go and let the river run.. otherwise I think she is right: if it’s held in, not released, it gets turned on oneself. I’m bingeing your videos precisely because you are open and it’s such a joy to re-experience the first times with you. You have a lovely kindness about you.
Is she an artistic and musical activist? Just seen her a few times and it seems like she feels so deeply and creates a visual and a story with her beautiful vocals.
You need to do the KEXP radio show it will show you her mostly fun side with her real band cant miss Churchyard is a hoot the Music just takes her over...
I know you are reacting to and finding 'new' artists, which is awesome, nonetheless, you've only just touched the 'tip' of the Aurora Iceberg..... Great song/Great Reaction...... Can't wait for more Aurora!
I believe this song is about suicide. Before she makes the sacrifice, she thinks of all the people she’s met… the marks that settled on her skin (cutting); but she survives or doesn’t go through it- she’s lucky to be alive.
You made my day🙂 Thank you so much for another heartfelt reaction to this masterpiece 🙏🙏 You mentioned you love movie music, and guess what, Aurora was the whispering voice in Disney's movie Frost 2. And her "Running with the Wolves" was nominated for an Oscar in the cartoon movie "The Wolfwalkers" this year I believe or last year. Check it up on your own if you don't want to react to it🙂🙂 So looking forward to "The Seed" MV. And you won't cry this time I believe, just enjoy🥰🥰
What I can recommend is 'All the soft inside - live on KEXP' and 'Conqueror - live from the tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon'. It is quite a different atmosphere but i'm sure you'd like it :) Thanks for your reaction. I really liked it.
Hey there Felipe! The next one is The Seed. Several people are suggesting the Haik version but it looks like the overwhelming request is the music video, so I might need to toss a coin...
Me parece una declamación musicalizada medieval. Los coros, la orquesta y esa propuesta tan alejada en el tiempo, yo diría casi élfica me saca del mapa Quizás yo sea más contemporánea y el sonido agudo de su voz me resulta inquietante. Para gustos colores y para experimentar emociones al borde del llanto, tambien, ella te llega al alma o no lo hace. Cada cual tiene su propio punto de vibración y seguro el mío es diferente. Puedo experimentar esto con Eva Cassidy, Angelina Jordan o con Sidney O'connor pero con Aurora no pasa nada.
Not 11 for "Murder Song" but for "Runaway". While some of her compositions stem from a very young age, I think there has probably been some tweaks to the originals. This of course takes nothing away from her very singular perspective on issues and emotions.
Love your way to do these Videos. If you realy want to tear Up, she wrote a Song for the funeral of a good friend, who died in a caracident "Why did you go a place i couldnt follow". Ist unreleast, but there is a nice Version where you can see Aurora being herselfe.
Not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but I'm sure you would enjoy her appearance with fellow Norwegians Wardruna performing the song Helvegen. Well worth your time, I promise.
But rather than the usual version, try this one in a fabulous setting with the same choir as in the Nidarosdomen concert:- th-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@TheVirtualWatcher That version... Cool setup and acoustics, but I honestly cannot stand the rudeness and inconsiderateness of the the crowd up front. Just because you got fancy camera rigs and recording gear doesn't give you the right to run around in front of all the other fans like monkeys on coke, talking loudly and basically ruining a wonderful experience for everyone else in attendance.
Nice once again, i really like your approach on the songs! The song you´re thinking of is Conqueror at Tonight Show with Kimmy Fallon. When doing the Seed, i recommend doin the offical video of that song first, because it is a very well produced video that builds up on the songs message. Then later you could do a "live" version of Seed from her Haik-concert. I would also recommend doing Exist for love, first the video version. And you should absolutly do some of her covers, especially David Bowie's Life on mars. But you would love her versions of Massive Attacks Teardrop, Imagine dragons Beleiver, Arianne Grande's God is a woman and Beatles Across the universe. And i would also recommend to look Churchyard (Live on KEXP).
Well...you have listened to her RUNAWAY...a pure gem...open for interpretations of many kind...written by her at the age of ~ 14 (?)...following this link you will get the meaning of the song explained by herself...in her own words...and also...in her own way...would love to see your reaction to this...you will respect her even more and on another level... th-cam.com/video/P_-aEdRG95I/w-d-xo.html
you also need to react to her fantastic cover versions of David Bowie, The Beatles, Ariane Grande, Leonard Cohen, Bonney M, etc, some of the covers she just had one hour to learn, make a version and perform live.
I forgot I had idea when you were talking. It's better if you watch the concerts after you do the individual songs because it'll be more satisfying for you and if you already commented on the songs you just going to comment basically the same thing.
I really like your reactions of Aurora. She is such a magical artist. And a human being. If you really want to get to know her I recomend looking in to interviews likr this for example: th-cam.com/video/Bb9J68FSjo0/w-d-xo.html

Let the river run wild
Don’t worry about it. She constantly brings me to tears. Sometimes just that smile she gives at the end of a song wells me up.
Me too, it just shows that we are human.
Sometime it happens both in the same song

"What an extraordinary young lady".
Yep.
"Winter bird" The Music Video, or from this concert.
Auroras the river for me is so good at making me feel emotions that I had suppressed

As you said, simplicity is the key and in Aurora's case it is the accumulation of a range of simple elements - the lilt of her accent, her extremely clear annunciation, her piercing gaze, her fluid (and depending on the emotion, sometimes not so fluid) motions etc - then when the more complicated elements (her views of issues, her way with words, the music, venue, staging, supporting performers etc) are added it is a devastating combination. Sometimes "unique" is over used or not quite accurately applied but in Aurora's case the true meaning of the term is spot on.
Love this performance. So emotional, beautiful and mesmerizing. As i wrote comment with my interpretation yesterday under other video I will just copy it here:
In my interpretation it is about depression so big it could end with suicide ("offering"). But then this someone feels/saw the light for a first time = found a reason to live and a light/hope in this whole darkness and changed mind. But fight still goes on as she sings on the end I am lucky to be alive with some sadness. But it is sad song with positive message. As even in a darker and most desperate time you can find a light you only need to survive these hard times and it will be better.
Also it is mind blowing that 9 year old person can thing about such thing and write something like that. Of course maybe it was polished somehow later but it is mind blowing anyway. She is IMHO unique personality. Thx for a reaction.
Haha don’t need to try not to cry. Listen to “The River” by AURORA where she implores us to let the tears flow.
A real test of one’s Aurora-ness is Queendom. It can be a good filter that lets through those who love acceptance, inclusion, and kindness.
A test for tissues is the unreleased “Why Did You Have to Go.” It’s so very touching and should be preceded by learning the story behind it.
Looking forward to more. Thanks for your thoughts. 🙏 thanks. “The River” lyrics says “you can cry”. Sooo all is good. Lol.
lol, nice!
Another great reaction. Another great performance.
Hello again my friend. Another one in the books. And another awesome reaction 🔥🔥🔥
You know, I start to feel that I'm getting to know you a bit now, and so I'm really excited to see your reaction to the "The Seed" music video. I have a distinct feeling that it's going to be right down your alley. Some really dramatic footage and beautiful choreography. It's definitely on MY very top Aurora.
Looking forward to that.
Stay safe and stay blessed. Love from Norway ❤️
Thank you! Good to see you pop up in the comments! Blessings from California!
She is very much naturally an introvert, but also is very grounded in who she is and her music. She often refers to her songs as her children, and I think she is most comfortable while performing them. She is somewhat awkward and shy while not performing, though often witty and hilarious. An INFP if you will.
The songs aren't connected they have their own inspirations and she's said in an interview, 'None of my songs are about me'. You should look into her more, it's part of getting to really know her and enjoy her even more. There are interviews on youtube and plenty of sources online to find easily. I've listened and watched her a bit every day since January and reading the reactions there are plenty of misunderstandings or misinformation mixed in. Looking for her own words and feelings might help.
In listening to Aurora’s lyrics with the knowledge that she was so young when she wrote them, has always left me wondering if she isn’t one of those rare people who come into life with memories from a possible previous lifetime. The way she expresses herself as she sings lends to this idea, in that it seems as she’s working out experiences from distant past life and explaining all that she may have learned from it. It’s the music and words are pouring into the top of her head and flowing out through her entire being as she performs. Kind of deep and mystical thinking I know, but that’s what her music has always left me pondering.
Literally have thought the same exact thing multiple times.
Great reaction again, and don't worry will stick with you even if you've done ''Lucky'' :-) Liitle thing that I got to know from Aurora by watching evrything that i could find on her: she started creating music and song to be able to manage some of the emotion that she was feeling, coming from news-paper, or friend around her or herself, she didn't know how to deal with those emotion and creating music helped her, it was her healing tool. She is an empath, hyper sensitive, very intelligent but not understanding much about human, so she does music. Music that now heal us. For her, singning those song is like reopening a little drawer where she put that emotion and sink in it like it was at the start, that is where she is when she ''perfome'' she is not repeating the same song over and over, she is re-living that emotion. Happy to follow your discovering path.
Thank you Celine! Blessings!
Aurora has a sister with a bipolare condition, and Aurora wrote the first draft of this song 9yo to deal with what she saw her sister go through. This version was to bloody she has commented, so it was rewritten before it was sung in public.
It is hauntingly beautiful. The whole consert is epic! 😊🤗🙏
Thank you for this information!!! I've always related this song with Aurora's sister bipolar disorder, but I had no idea whether she's really inspired Aurora to write it.
she also doesnt look 100%...
Great reactions. I appreciate the way you take her music in. I've subbed! ✌
She is a soothing balm for my soul. I feel honored to be alive when I hear her music. She has given me a massive gift that I'll be eternally gratefully for.
I have been enjoying your Aurora reactions. It looks like you are getting great suggestions for what to listen to next. I think you would really like "Infections of a Different Kind" from the HAIK concert. But you really can't go wrong with anything of hers.
Thank you Violet! Love your hair!
Would love to se you react to Auroras collaboration with Askjell in ”Sofia”. Its way beyond emotional….and she doesnt even use words.
Another very talented Norwegian singer you should check out is Angelina Jordan. She won Norway's Got talent at 8 yrs. old. She's 15 now, has over 130 covers, mostly old blues covers.
I know you reacted to this over a year ago but ive just watched it again and thought id comment .Regards the song Lucky she wrote the music or had the tune in her head at 9 yrs old , she added lyrics at around 15 , she did mention this in a interview i recall. Regards the venue , her management had to fight for the venue because the powers that be regarded some of her songs inappropriate for the venue. Well she is a Heathen afterall.
If you think that not crying through an Aurora song is something you have to fight to accomplish, you should probably watch The River, Auroras song about men allowing themselves to cry.
Love ya, buddy. Nice kitchen!
Thank you! U2!
Great reaction 😊👍 Even though she wrote such lyrics at a young age, Aurora has been very clear that she had a happy childhood. Like someone else mentioned, I think it was her way of dealing with difficult emotions, experiences and thougts, writing these songs.
It IS a church. My cousins funeral service was held there.
.... and she was 9 yo when she wrote Lucky, unbelievable!
This is one of the songs that you can really tell that Leonard Cohen is one of her biggest influences.
Pure, always think this word when she sings. She’s just fascinating to watch but the content of her songs is from someone much older (soul) than she is. I think she’s magical, regards from a new subscriber, I’m hoping you give Diana Ancudinova a listen also as she’s very hauntingly different and Pentatonic are also AMAZING. They do a first class rendition of Bohemian Rapsody btw. Mandy UK x
Ni-da-ros-do-men: Ni, like nee in needle. Da, like the Da in Darth Wader. Ros sounds like rose. Do, like the do in dorito. Men just like men. Now you can try. Since you are about to move in with Aurora anyway 😏 Greetings from Norway.
Runaway was writyen at 11 , I went too far was written at 11 but she changed some of the lyrics at 16
You should look up the word Sprite (European Mythology), that is how I see Aurora. Her power is to gently pull us into her world. She knows we need a respite from this harsh world. That is why I often cry from her songs, that this world should be better.
A nine year old writing: war....inside my mind, behind my eyes is calming down.... where does it come from? Looking forward to The Seed. A completely different vibe, but with an enormous power behind it. Listen to the details in the lyrics. "..... we are burning our fingers, but learn and forget..... It is more than a popsong.
Really nice reaction/analysis!!! After listening to this hundreds on times I’m pretty sure it’s about overcoming suicidal thoughts and ultimately deciding to move forward with living life.
Excited to see your reaction to The Seed, it’s possibly her greatest song. The music video is a must watch, maybe also check out her live performance of The Seed at the HAIK, it’s amazing as well.
NRK the official Norwegian TV channel have a long history of producing very high quality live music and Aurora in Nidarosdomen is one of the very best ever.
Also the acoustics in the cathedral is just fantastic. Just saying a word is turned into music when the echos come back.
This is one of the songs where she has never said what was the inspiration of the song, only kinda repeating the lyric in that we are all lucky to be alive and we should appreciate that and not squander it. But this is one of her songs that Aurora has said is very personal to her, Runaway is another.
One of Aurora's sisters is Bi-Polar, and one running theory is that this is a song Aurora wrote about how she saw her sister living with that disease. The duality of a person living with this condition, how in a short amount of time, they can go from happy to complete despair, "a war behind 'their' eyes" if you will, then come out of that, sadly to fight the same battle another day. And like she wrote in the song, some days they can feel too numb to even bother fighting it.
What ever the meaning behind the song though, i find the message in it quite obvious.
Keep fighting, never give up, it won't be easy, but one day you will find the light at the end of that tunnel.
Something wrong with her also...how she moving, and use her eyes it isnt normal.
I just love Aurora, she always makes we cry, yes your right about your first thought being angelic, I try to finish off my watching binge with one of her music videos. If you liked the Running with wolfs video, then You need to watch her other music videos that maybe? won't cause so many tears, but still give you goosebumps
Cure for me
The seed
Animal
Apple tree
Queendom
Thank you, Susan!
The incident you alluded may have been the one in Thailand, in 2018. A group of footballers on a caving trip were trapped. Or perhaps one of a number of mining incidents in recent years ( there have been instances in Australia, China, Chile and New Zealand) where there were trapped survivors who were eventually rescued.
Yes, that's what I was recalling! The football players! Thank you very much! Itch scratched lol
The Nidarosdomen concert is a once in a life time concert for Aurora (and us). NRK (the Norwegian brodcaster) went "all in" on it.
A "setup" with Nidarosdomen, Trondheim Solistene (one of the best string Orchestras in Norway), Oslo Fagottkor (choir) is not the avrage for a Norwegian artist 😎🇳🇴.
The song you were trying to think of was “Conquer” Conan performance was good but If were up to me after seeing her perform that on the Honda Stage, it is way more enjoyable especially her cute interactions with the audience. Thanks again.
I also love the version that she did SXSW 2016. It's outdoors with no audience and is more stripped back than the Honda Stage version.
I like the performance of "Conqueror" on the Jimmy Fallons show, don't think it was Conan. It was her first debut performance in the US and she absolutely kills it.
@@jamesreese4170 Lets be honest, you just can’t miss with this girl lol. 🙏 I’m gonna check that one out too.
Notre Dame Cathedral was constructed for Aurora
Only one minute in and... man what a nonsens chalenge to not cry over Aurora music, geeez, next video: ''The River'' that she wrote to tell man that they can cry too. ;-)
Thank you Celine ; ) I'm trying to put on a strong face as I know what I'm in for, especially when someone warns me to bring the Kleenex lol.
@@larryshair Celine is right. She wrote “The River” particularly to tell them that as she heard that the suicide rate was higher in men vs women, and her response was to tell men to stop repressing their emotions.. that it’s good to let go and let the river run.. otherwise I think she is right: if it’s held in, not released, it gets turned on oneself. I’m bingeing your videos precisely because you are open and it’s such a joy to re-experience the first times with you. You have a lovely kindness about you.
Is she an artistic and musical activist? Just seen her a few times and it seems like she feels so deeply and creates a visual and a story with her beautiful vocals.
You need to do the KEXP radio show it will show you her mostly fun side with her real band cant miss Churchyard is a hoot the Music just takes her over...
I know you are reacting to and finding 'new' artists, which is awesome, nonetheless, you've only just touched the 'tip' of the Aurora Iceberg.....
Great song/Great Reaction......
Can't wait for more Aurora!
Coming up next, brother!
Here is her statement about "Lucky" from an interview. (Taken from the Aurora Aksnes Wiki fan page):
"She explained the song's meaning to The 405:
I believe this song is about suicide. Before she makes the sacrifice, she thinks of all the people she’s met… the marks that settled on her skin (cutting); but she survives or doesn’t go through it- she’s lucky to be alive.
Understood
You made my day🙂 Thank you so much for another heartfelt reaction to this masterpiece 🙏🙏 You mentioned you love movie music, and guess what, Aurora was the whispering voice in Disney's movie Frost 2. And her "Running with the Wolves" was nominated for an Oscar in the cartoon movie "The Wolfwalkers" this year I believe or last year. Check it up on your own if you don't want to react to it🙂🙂 So looking forward to "The Seed" MV. And you won't cry this time I believe, just enjoy🥰🥰
Thank you Anne! I heard about her Frozen singing from another viewer and I was BLOWN AWAY! That was such a nice surprise!!!
What I can recommend is 'All the soft inside - live on KEXP' and 'Conqueror - live from the tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon'. It is quite a different atmosphere but i'm sure you'd like it :) Thanks for your reaction. I really liked it.
Cool, thanks!
Watch The Seed (Haik version) and Exist for Love (studio version)
Hey there Felipe! The next one is The Seed. Several people are suggesting the Haik version but it looks like the overwhelming request is the music video, so I might need to toss a coin...
Me parece una declamación musicalizada medieval.
Los coros, la orquesta y esa propuesta tan alejada en el tiempo, yo diría casi élfica me saca del mapa
Quizás yo sea más contemporánea y el sonido agudo de su voz me resulta inquietante.
Para gustos colores y para experimentar emociones al borde del llanto, tambien, ella te llega al alma o no lo hace.
Cada cual tiene su propio punto de vibración y seguro el mío es diferente.
Puedo experimentar esto con Eva Cassidy, Angelina Jordan o con Sidney O'connor pero con Aurora no pasa nada.
Hello Again!, hey, there is nothing wrong with tears when music or something else moves you to it..
Thanks Jeff! She just brings those tears out almost every time! I think given her age and the context of her songs just floors me.
Not 11 for "Murder Song" but for "Runaway". While some of her compositions stem from a very young age, I think there has probably been some tweaks to the originals. This of course takes nothing away from her very singular perspective on issues and emotions.
I'm curious how you will react when you see her latest music video "Cure for me", it's kinda different but amazing and lots of fun.
Love your way to do these Videos. If you realy want to tear Up, she wrote a Song for the funeral of a good friend, who died in a caracident "Why did you go a place i couldnt follow". Ist unreleast, but there is a nice Version where you can see Aurora being herselfe.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but I'm sure you would enjoy her appearance with fellow Norwegians Wardruna performing the song Helvegen. Well worth your time, I promise.
But rather than the usual version, try this one in a fabulous setting with the same choir as in the Nidarosdomen concert:-
th-cam.com/video/cg0TQyjdHJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@TheVirtualWatcher That version... Cool setup and acoustics, but I honestly cannot stand the rudeness and inconsiderateness of the the crowd up front. Just because you got fancy camera rigs and recording gear doesn't give you the right to run around in front of all the other fans like monkeys on coke, talking loudly and basically ruining a wonderful experience for everyone else in attendance.
Added to the list! This is the first time I have heard someone comment on that song at this point that I can recall.
💚💚💚💚
Even as child, Aurora has been a little obsessed with death.
That's such a tremendous weight for a child to carry. I just want to give her a hug!
She is not from these parts she comes from the Angelics!
Agreed!
Please! 7:06 correct title is Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)
I believe this is the 1st song she ever wrote, she was 7 i believe.
mind...blown....
to think she was 9 years old when she wrote this..........
Nice once again, i really like your approach on the songs! The song you´re thinking of is Conqueror at Tonight Show with Kimmy Fallon. When doing the Seed, i recommend doin the offical video of that song first, because it is a very well produced video that builds up on the songs message. Then later you could do a "live" version of Seed from her Haik-concert. I would also recommend doing Exist for love, first the video version. And you should absolutly do some of her covers, especially David Bowie's Life on mars. But you would love her versions of Massive Attacks Teardrop, Imagine dragons Beleiver, Arianne Grande's God is a woman and Beatles Across the universe. And i would also recommend to look Churchyard (Live on KEXP).
Thanks again, Knutg!
Well...you have listened to her RUNAWAY...a pure gem...open for interpretations of many kind...written by her at the age of ~ 14 (?)...following this link you will get the meaning of the song explained by herself...in her own words...and also...in her own way...would love to see your reaction to this...you will respect her even more and on another level...
th-cam.com/video/P_-aEdRG95I/w-d-xo.html
You should listen Exist for love, official video VEVO, I like your reactions and have a great w
Thank you MB!
you also need to react to her fantastic cover versions of David Bowie, The Beatles, Ariane Grande, Leonard Cohen, Bonney M, etc, some of the covers she just had one hour to learn, make a version and perform live.
I forgot I had idea when you were talking. It's better if you watch the concerts after you do the individual songs because it'll be more satisfying for you and if you already commented on the songs you just going to comment basically the same thing.
Love these reactions you should react to wardruna ft Aurora helvegen
You need to react to the video of the seed..
Thank you! That is up next :)
Warriors cry too ;)
Bravo!!!!
When you said she's in a sacred place you weren't kidding: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nidaros_Cathedral
Incredible!
th-cam.com/video/P_XguuxLo10/w-d-xo.html
I’m just putting this here. This is my personal favourite performance of hers so far.
I really like your reactions of Aurora. She is such a magical artist. And a human being. If you really want to get to know her I recomend looking in to interviews likr this for example: th-cam.com/video/Bb9J68FSjo0/w-d-xo.html
Please, react to Hua Chenyu. He is awesome ❤️
