Guitarist is fellow Norwegian Odd Martin Skålnes who supported Aurora the first years, cowrote Murder Song and more. For more excellent story telling and harmonies I recommend "It happend quiet" live at the current. You will enjoy that.
One guitar !, one man, one gifted singer. Aurora experiences what she sings in this moment on stage herself. She visualises the lyrics of her songs. 93% of our communication is non-verbal. It is this unconscious communication with us, her gestures, facial expressions and her eyes. That is why she is best experienced live.
I'm an Aurora addict. Her songs are all different and she constantly revisits them. Yes, she tends to sing in the moment, with total emotional commitment, so her live songs are generally the best. She is highly intelligent and a thinker, so her lyrics can be intense and challenging. This is a good example. How many teenager girls would write about mercy killing and from first person point of view as well?
I am an AURORA addict an EIVOR addict. Eivor never does the song the same either, just sIngs out of her head. I can't pick between them, however a collaboration would be godly. I don't think they are listening to my pleads though.
Thanks, I really enjoyed your thoughts and analysis. I consider this one of the best performances I've ever seen (not just by Aurora). It never fails to blow me away, especially considering she was only 19 years old and by her own admission, very nervous. Obviously, the "most played" part is next level, but I also love when she sings the lines "he cries and cries," it sounds very close to her crying herself. Like, she really makes you feel those lyrics. But then, that's the beauty of this performance overall, the way she makes you feel the story, right along with her.
Odd Martin Skålnes is the gentleman who accompanies Aurora here. He was a member of Aurora's band at her beginning, and co-produced part of her songs in studio at that time. He's a seasoned artist, and their voices harmonize well together. He really masters what he does. Bob Dylan is one of her inspiring artist, one she used to listened to at her family home, with Leonard Cohen, among others. Her ways to perform live are outstanding to me. They evolve as the time goes, but man there's always some huge intensity, emotional as much as tchnical, if not more. There's, in my opinion, an important trait that you can't see by watching only one performance of a song: her tendency to vary or reinterpret her songs from time to time. Therefore, if you wish you should check out this other one, as exemple: (can be copy/paste here if needed) Aurora - Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) - 5/25/2018 - Paste Studios - New York, NY There's also the one from her Nidarosdomen concert, but this concert should be discovered directly through a reaction video, to "Lucky" or to "Through the eyes of a child", in exemple: 20171102 - AURORA - Nidarosdomen - 06/12 Lucky 20171102 - AURORA - Nidarosdomen - 09/12 Through the eyes of a child Anyway, thanks for this nice reaction to Aurora, this brilliant singing little moth, here as a haunting soul who lets her emotion gush before she fades away.🙂👍
besides It Happened Quiet mentioned below, Little Boy in The Grass Mahogany Session is an amazing in my view, live performance of the two of these artists about a painful and tragic incident that happened in her native country in 2015. Well worth a reaction if you haven't already.
Great reaction👍 This is obviously a fan favourite, I’m a fan (warrior and weirdo) and I absolutely love this song and performance😍 Every album of hers are different and I love each one, I’m 100% sure I’m gonna love her next album which will be released on the 7th of June👍😍 I’m pretty sure you’ll love the song and performance “It Happened Quiet” live at Current It was inspired by domestic violence, she gets killed and in the end she comes back to haunt him
I have a feeling you'd also love Aurora's Tiny Desk live session. Amazing you'd mention Bob Dyan. SOS Ole Bull charity concert she covers Dylan's Make You Feel My Love.
Brilliant video. You're incredibly knowledgeable and articulate, and I love your philosophy of music and performance. Edit: If I may request a review / analysis, I'd love if you could check out the vocal performance of Sia singing "Breathe Me" live at Hiro Ballroom in 2007.
You should definitely react to Aurora's live performance of songs "Soft Universe" and "Through the eyes of a child" in Nidarosdomen. I's breathtaking ♥

Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen are two of Auroras big hero's. She loves them! When Cohen died Aurora was in Chicago, when she heard she changed her concert to include a tribute, it is hardly rehearsed, but she does it anyway, I feel her! So long Marianne..... Marianne was also Norwegian btw..... th-cam.com/video/i4CgyVMJiEk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SDxGTfFUbLjFfmst
at the very beginning of her career she was on top. i love that specific performance a lot. but you havn't met eivor yet, right? falling free live at the old theater in tórshavn is one of the very best performances ever. she is easily the best female singer of our time.
Best Female Singers of All Time: Sinead O Conner Bjork Amy Lee Aurora Lindy Fay Hella Don't forget Silja Sol. She was a backing singer for Aurora and I love her.
+1 for Aurora and Pomme and their Everything matters duet. :) Also, if I can, I would recommend Conan Gray - The Story. Thank you very much for your videos, they are very amazing and are also helping me to get back my joy of (not very good but still mine) singing ❤
I would like to see your reaction to Eivor also. She and AURORA are my favorite current day artists. I consider EIVOR the greatest vocalist I have ever seen. I want the two to collaborate. th-cam.com/video/av-AvDEKJnc/w-d-xo.html
Another performance which has been so expressive to me was the 2023 performance of "Unchained Melody" by Angelina Jordan (age 17) (th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BorisPalenovski). The expressiveness of that performance is quite powerful but not at all the techniques of Aurora (I do find comparing the two interesting not just because they are both so expressive but because they are also both Norwegian.)
Guitarist is fellow Norwegian Odd Martin Skålnes who supported Aurora the first years, cowrote Murder Song and more. For more excellent story telling and harmonies I recommend "It happend quiet" live at the current. You will enjoy that.
yes, good suggestion. +1
Playing on a Martin guitar.
I love the way she ends the song. She sees the soul leaving life ....
Would love to hear your analysis of her performance of It Happened Quiet-Live at the Current. This song and performance is truly another masterclass!
My god this woman is , incredible, great review man , what a one of a kind she is , beautiful ❤️🇬🇧
glad you mentioned dylan. he and even more leonard cohan are songwriters she listens and look up to from the early childhood.

Great reaction to a really stellar, unique performance.
It’s those spooky storytelling eyes. Captivating.

She becomes her songs, always.
You really bring A LOT to the table with your insights ! ~

“It Happened Quiet” live at Current
It was inspired by domestic violence, she gets killed and in the end she comes back to haunt him
Brilliant analysis! Love your videos ❤

Love these analyses. Gives a professional view on it that gives me a deeper understanding. Thx!!
👌
AURORA is my favorite songwriter and arranger. The greatest vocalist in the world is Eivor. Love them both.
Watch Aurora’s Nidarosdomen concert: 12 excellent and mesmerizing songs (3 are covers). You will be glad you did!
You should react to her song called "forgotten love" one of her most hardest song I've ever heard
Its actually just Murder Song not "the" just thought id slip that in. lol The guitar player is - Odd Martin i believe.

Next check out AURORA - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen).
Have you listened to Eivor ? A Faroese singer. If not, listen to Trollabundin live in Norway. What is going on here?
+1 for It Happened Quiet live at current, also featuring Silja Sol on backing.
Best Female Singers of All Time:
Sinead O Conner
Bjork
Amy Lee
Aurora
Lindy Fay Hella
Don't forget Silja Sol. She was a backing singer for Aurora and I love her.

Two of her musical inspirations are Bob Dylan and Lenard Cohan

You should react to Angelina Jordan as a child!
I would like to see your reaction to Eivor also. She and AURORA are my favorite current day artists. I consider EIVOR the greatest vocalist I have ever seen. I want the two to collaborate. th-cam.com/video/av-AvDEKJnc/w-d-xo.html
She looks like she is made of porcelain .
Another performance which has been so expressive to me was the 2023 performance of "Unchained Melody" by Angelina Jordan (age 17) (th-cam.com/video/XxduGSjAJCo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=BorisPalenovski). The expressiveness of that performance is quite powerful but not at all the techniques of Aurora (I do find comparing the two interesting not just because they are both so expressive but because they are also both Norwegian.)
The live version from the 2015 Nobel peace prize concert is better
This is literally that exact performance. Maybe you should watch the video before commenting.
Yeah, noticed. Chill. No need to get worked up. In no way did that comment reflect negatively on you@@DissonantSynth
