I think we love watching aurora reactions because it’s so validating.. like yeah, I’m not the only one who’s like “wtf just happened” after listening to her performances 😅 a magical trance. It hits home for me. I call it soul singing. I believe we all share the same or similar soul, so, if we are in touch with our own, her music tends to be very touching indeed
I just discovered AURORA tonight and while I'm sad that I didn't find her years ago, I am sadder still that I will never be able to hear her for the first time again. Next is to go see her live.
@@joeladams2540 And weirdos (like me) 😅 Don´t take it the wrong way, I don´t see "weirdos" as a bad thing. 😏 I am just a little bit different from others in some ways. 😉
Please don't ever hold your tears. Embrace them, feel emotion. It's in our nature to feel, we're only human after all. Besides, it feels so nice to cry 💞
Hey Larry......back again..... I love this song and Aurora SO MUCH and of course I love YOUR reaction to it..... I'm going to ask you a favor..... Maybe you can get to it in the next month or so (hopefully less) I know you know the song "Runaway" from at least Nidarosdomen and also The Peace Prize concert..... There is another version, very different, but of course the same..... It was during the Covid lockdowns and she did it "in her home" It's her, her greatest backup singer Silja, and their newest guitar player....I hate I forget his name..... It's just him on the acoustic and the two greatest team singers to live..... It is SUCH A GREAT version Larry!!!!!!! I guarantee you'll love it and more than likely shed a tear...... Hope all is well with you.......
Im a 67 year old man. she makes me cry every time I hear her sing. one thing I have never heard anyone reviewing her mention is the incredible video production. most notable in murder 54321 when she sings the words "I'm gone" the camera fads to a blur then they pull in tight and sharp to enhance her facial expressions.
I'm another 67 year old man, lol, and I cannot remember any other singer I've ever heard who has this kind of an emotional effect on me, leaves me in tears so many times, some joyous, some melancholy and some sad, but SO POWERFUL, it's simply amazing ;?)
I'm a heavy metal fan being absolutely blown out by AURORA. She is out of this world. My whole chest was shaking during listening to this for the first time. And it's not only her voice, she's pure inside and out. She somehow taught me a few good things about myself and it's really tough to influence me in such a way she did. Can't wait to see her this summer live.
Don't shame about your crying, it's so beautiful! Im also an almost 46 years old man and i always cry at this song... Your crying reaction is so beautiful!
This is the third Aurora video I've seen you watch. I'm already having a blast watching you react to her. I'm a 45 year old male Jazz fanatic/wanna-be musician from Texas and when I discovered her through other reaction channels it was like I discovered Miles Davis again or something. She is the most unique vocalist I've seen in a long time. Eivor, Floor Jansen, Aurora... I wouldn't have found these artists without reaction channels like yours. Keep it up. I'm really enjoying this. Subscribed... good lord this woman rips my heart out in the most violently gentle way I've ever experienced. The themes and ideas that she writes about aren't even touched on by most adult 'artists'. She makes me question my definition of what an artist is and looks to convey.
Howdy! I did happen to stumble onto one of her interviews! She is just as fascinating in her interviews as she is in her singing! Adorable! Thank you for your comment!
Could we have some more stuff like this Larry! I miss going back to the roots of music! I love the modern era stuff you and your son are doing. Me and my mate always recap your videos and have a good laugh and break down your reactions. 💙 put a challenge forward to your son and put it up on his channel, a song that he doesn’t know and that you love. Thanks for your content. 🤘
I lost my mum on 31.08, only aged 62. We had no contact over 11 months after a dispute. This song touched me the most cause for mum i was still ,her little boy' and i wished to see her again peacfully
Good picks. This concert is easily in my top 10 recorded shows of all time....and there's some amazing shows on that list. But this is beyond something special. And oddly enough, Winter Bird and Lucky are my two favorites from this one. :) But literally every single song is mesmerizing. I've watched this from beginning to end about 10 times now....about once a month for a year now. It's THAT good.
You're hooked now Aurora's Love and Magic's got you, yes she's captured you, real quick I can say......that's great, she is speaking to you, directly, personally that's what she does, she is a healer, a story teller she drives you in,and carries you away, way inside your own core She is unique, absolutely adorable and wise, yes, so talented and gifted and freaking cute!. Welcome to the Queendom!
Her older sister does the design of her dresses - and it is pure joy and happiness to experience a good concert in the cathedral of Nidarosdomen, Trondheim, Norway. Hendels Messias with one of Germanys best choirs at easter - pure magic.
With this song Aurora breaks your heart, then that smile at the end lets you know that everything will be alright. She shines as brightly as the magical lights that she is named for. PS I said in my previous comment that you would need to keep the tissues handy for this one. PPS In this concert, Aurora looks as though she has just stepped out of a Botticelli masterpiece.
Aurora always gets to me too, but doubly so. I discovered her a few weeks after my dad past away. Within seconds of hearing her vocals I knew my dad would have love her. So hearing her live always takes me back to that first moment I heard her sing.
The song of the soul, wordless, timeless, full heart vocals ❤️❤️❤️. When my “cup runneth over.” Emotion utterly human and completely sacred; one and the same.
It's beyond words, all right. What a great reaction again. And yes, this cathedral with its very special history seems to be the right place for her. This was in 2017, before Christmas, and it was kind of a Christmas Concert, though not with the regular Christmas songs, but with Aurora's own material, but also including three covers. Amazing concert, amazing venue, amazing artist.
The whole Nidarosdomen concert is amazing!!! Looking forward to "It Happened Quiet" and "Little Boy in the Grass". After "Lucky" you may want to add "Winter Bird" to your list. BTW Aurora is so emotionally connected when she sings, because she is a true empath. You can't tell whether she's singing about herself or about somebody else.
She is Mother Nature pleading with us, trying to teach us to be kind and enjoy all the love we have to offer one another. I envision an old hand drawn Disney Snow White in the forest, singing to the animals and forest folk...
...there are absolutely nothing wrong with tears!!! Not for men or women! It's such a natural reaction when something touches your heart emotionally! ♥ Just felt like giving you a big hug! 🙂
This concert is easily in my top 10 recorded shows of all time....and there's some amazing shows on that list. But this is beyond something special. Winter Bird and Lucky are my two favorites from this one. :) But literally every single song is mesmerizing.

this is why we play and listen to World music from all artists, lands and cultures........Aurora just reaches in and touches our hearts....this is a beautiful hymn to innocence.....the ending just breaks your heart
Her songs and performances r oftentimes very emotional. Tears are only natural lol. I highly suggest continuing with this concert. Special songs include Lucky, Under Stars, It Happened Quiet, Winter Bird, Little Boy in the Grass…but really the entire concert is just amazing, very possibly her greatest ever and that’s saying something!
My favorite Aurora song from this concert is “ Lucky”. I could only say wow after she finished. I believe she wrote Lucky when she was 9 years old. She writes her own music.
Incredible talent, not to mention the content is incredible. "It Happened Quiet" will be done tonight and then Lucky later this week. Thanks so much for your comments :)
Welcome aboard. I love when someone new finds Aurora. We all reacted the same way you did. We all go for the same songs first. But she is so much more. You have literally just scratched the surface here. She’s hilarious in interviews and in between songs in her live shows. There’s such a lot for you to catch up on. I’ll be following your progress and shedding a tear or two along the way. Again. Just when you think you’ve heard a song often enough for it not to affect you, you find it still does and end up blabbing into your handkerchief yet again. Enjoy the journey.
@@larryshair what is impressive is that a new artist (peculiar as she is) is able to brake into our pool of ARTISTS, that is not common , speaks volumes of her quality
I really like the pauses. She lets the note disappear and that moment of silence allows you to process before she blows your mind with the next magical note.
Hi Larry - I just finished watching all three of your Aurora reactions, and I am so enjoying watching you fall in love with her and her music! She is really something special. Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 25 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. Although she is amazing live, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well. You might enjoy reacting to two versions of the same song in the same video to get a fuller picture of her talent. 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: th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well: th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html 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
Hey Mario! Thank you for this breakdown. This is VERY helpful. "It Happened Quiet" is going to be reviewed this evening. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
To be a fan of this earth angel is to know what love empathy and compassion is. She genuinely just knows how to get into your heart. She goes to another world and then comes back. She is tapping into something else in her music. It truly just makes you want to do better and be a better human.
AURORA, is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.(From the same country as Angelina Jordan). Among artists and in the music industry the Norwegian singer AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.
This song and so many others Aurora has gifted us, always results in me being a sobbing mess, and I am grateful and humbled by it. Every single time, hidden emotions become revealed again, unlocked and released, each experience is so deeply healing and beautiful. Sharing connections through these moments, seeing and reading how another person is reflecting responses so similar to my own, amplifies the significance for me. Knowing these personal feelings are real for so so many is reassuring, calming and just a remarkable reminder how strongly our innate humanity binds us to hold empathy and love and kindness for another soul. Thank you for sharing your Aurora journey with such care and vulnerability. Be well. 🤍🕊
There is something in the water in Norway 🤣❤ With the enchanting and mesmerizing artists like Aurora and Angelina, and not just artists but also amazing human beings with their values and what they do for others ❤ Btw, I feel lucky to live in Bergen, Auroras hometown in Norway ❤ Have an amazing day 👍
Its ok to cry, we have all been there. Aurora is out of this world and I always enjoy going down the rabit hole with her. I also recommend the HAIK documentary, The Seed MV and also her cover of Teardrop from her. Welcome to the Aurora Family. Oh yes, and also do watch the whole concert
I'm Swedish, so this smarts a bit to admit, my two favorite female artists are both Norwegian. One of them is Aurora, "the earth fairy" that you have already discovered. The other is Angelina Jordan, "the barefoot princess of jazz". Angelina won "Norway's got talent" at the age of eight (8) by singing jazz standards (to see her winning song search for: Angelina Jordan - Summertime - 2014). She has since then only gotten better and better and is now fifteen years old and signed by a major label as their most important new artist. (To see her sing an original song at fifteen, search for: Angelina Jordan - seventh heaven, or Angelina Jordan - Million Miles, to see her cover some of the greats I can recommend her versions of I Put A Spell On You, Good Bye Yellow Brick Road, Crazy, I'd rather Go Blind, All I Ask or How Great Thou Art among many, many others. I assure you that you will be astonished by this young lady too. Another deep rabbit hole I'm afraid...
@@larryshair Hi Larry, you can stay stateside, she lives in LA now... 😉👍 And as I already stated in my original post, you will be absolutely amazed by this wonder of the world. She has the ability to take any song she wants and give it her own spin (she has arranged all her own music since the age of seven, the studio musicians and orchestras she's worked with affectionately calls her "The Boss"). She always performs barefoot (she met a little girl working as a street vendor in the middle east that had no shoes on when she was six and after giving this girl her own boots (her favorite ones...) she vowed to never stand on a stage with shoes on until all the children n the world had a pair of shoes of their own (hence the moniker "barefoot princess of jazz). She is a published author (the youngest in ever in Norway), she speaks several languages, plays several instruments and is humble and sweet to all around her. She is the sole driving force behind her own success and has helped raise millions of dollars for charity. Her fans, of which there are many, are called "angels" and they are devoted to her (I count myself among them). Her latest releases are two covers, the first one is Yesterday by the Beatles and the second is Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. And speaking of Michael Jackson, she was invited by Quincy Jones to sing at his 85 birthday celebration, and he later exclaimed that she is the biggest natural talent he has seen since Michael...soo... 👍😁
"It Happened Quiet" (Live at The Current) - th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html two voices and a guitar, chilling harmonies in my opinion live and without shoes she gives her best - "life is better without shoes" she says
Now you're hooked and you will never be free - don't worry it's a great feeling! I've been happily enthralled since hearing her song for the John Lewis Christmas advert in 2015. I listen to her every day and no matter how good I'm feeling she always makes me feel even better. Her interviews are comically magical and magically comical - which is fun.
Hello friend! What I really like about your reactions is that you are discovering these in more or less the same order as I did back in the day and your reactions, while yours, mirror mine own and probably so many others as well. Keep going and stop apologising when your eyes grow misty :) (Aurora has a song about how its ok to cry, "The River" you can check out the MV for that one when you feel like it.) As for all the different recommendations I'm going to put in a vote for "It happened quiet", live at the Current.
Hi there Espen! Thank you for your kind words. As a matter of fact, "It Happened Quiet" is getting reviewed this evening! Thank you so much for your kindness!
I didn't know about Aurora until she featured in a video game named "Sky: Children of the Light". The creators of the game used her image to create a "Spirit" avatar of her and used her songs to create a concert with their own graphics and the story behind the game. In the game, the is a scene of a battle, with children and light creatures dying and this song was used on that scene and the afterwards of the war. My God. I cried and cried, and still cry every time I heard this song. It is a masterpiece. The game brought me to her and I am hooked. Aurora is a light spirit. I am so grateful to the game for immortalizing her. Look it up. It is amazing.
And how many concerts were there?? So many, right? One of the best seasons and momemts of sky, with Aurora featuring the way she did. Just freaking amazing!!!!@@Nimoot
I have been to several concerts with our norwegian "treasure" Aurora, and she is a very extraordinary person. I recommend It happened Quiet for you and The Seed. I think you will love both of them. What makes Aurora so special isnt only her performances, both also her ability to write strong and powerful lyrics. Sje has also done some amazing cover songs like Bowie's Life on Mars. You have a lot of hours of joy in front of you.
Thanks! I plan on reviewing "It Happened Quiet" this evening :) Seed and Running with the Wolves is also on the top of my "to-do" list... Thank you for your comment!
@@larryshair For the reaction of It happened quiet, i would recommend you take a look at this version: Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current). It is a more accoustic version with only Aurora and her back-up singer on guitar. It is a stripped down version where Aurora "soul" stand out a little bit more than in the other version with big musical arrangements.
I've always interpreted the last part of the song as a vocalization of a baby's cry. For some those cries are unnerving but this is what I imagine those cries sound like for the mother of the baby. Crying is the most vulnerable innocent and honest form of communication known to humanity. And we as a grown adults should practice it more then we are. We should not be afraid to show true emotions that overflow in us. They are beautiful. And Aurora expands on this thought in her song called The River.
Aurora is pure magic✨ to get a deep dive into her artistry and spirit I would highly recommend to check out the concert “Haik”. A specially the song “The seed”. The concert is a part of a Aurora tribute day, arranged by a great Norwegian radio host. The concert was actually a surprise , where they gathered her family, friends and fans in the woods where she spent a lot of time during her childhood. It’s a great one cus it captures everything she does and is perfectly through both her amazing performance, but also through an actual dialog with the audience. Stay true, stay safe✌🏽
This concert has 12 songs, only three are covers, the other 9 are Aurora originals. Every song is pristine and perfect. Winter bird is another you should experience- no, you must see the entire concert. You will be blown away!
Another great reaction for great performance. Whole 1h Nidarosdomen concert is a pure magic. I am also happy you like to going deeper and deeper in this rabbit hole as I love this artist and I like your reaction too ('discovered' Aurora this year I think in 1Q2021 and listen to her music since that time). And about music without words - it means music talk to you and music is a universal language :).
yes, another masterpiece. I think your reactions are very good, and i dont mind at all you doing them as the video goes along (pausing)...after all thats the point of your channel, right. I wouldnt be watching these kind of channels if i didnt get a deeper understanding of the artist you present. Sensitivity is a must to understand A'urora. You got it. thanks.
“It happened Quiet” Live at the Current. Just her and a female guitarist who sings back up. Talk about getting lost. Aurora is always reaching for that which cannot be touched. Something that hides in the white lands. In the land of daybreak. For a moment alone with the unbeknown. Behind that door locked by the pale blue.
If I ever just got to listen to 2 artist for the rest of my life... it would be the 2 norwegian angels, Aurora Aksnes and Angelina Jordan and I will live a happy life with that ❤ Aurora is enchanting and Angelina is mesmerizing ❤ The emotions, the voices, and the human beings they are... its just amazing ❤
Start with Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT age 13, or Feeling good age 10 👍 I think that is a good start to get a Feeling, but she got 155 songs on TH-cam so it is a big rabbit hole ❤ from age 6 to age 15 👍
Thank you. Verry good react and is just nice to see emotions whether is good or bad. At least i'ts honest. Thank you and hope to see new reactions from you in the future. Take care.

Yes, she's pretty special!
Aurora fans are no strangers to tears when hearing Aurora. This is the gift she brings to us all. Cry all you want. ☺️
Aurora music gives our soul the good chemical power washing that it needs by crying.
Because we are warriors
I just discovered AURORA tonight and while I'm sad that I didn't find her years ago, I am sadder still that I will never be able to hear her for the first time again. Next is to go see her live.

Hey Larry......back again.....
I love this song and Aurora SO MUCH and of course I love YOUR reaction to it.....

Maybe you can get to it in the next month or so (hopefully less)
I know you know the song "Runaway" from at least Nidarosdomen and also The Peace Prize concert.....

Eines der wunderschönsten Konzerte die ich je gehört und gesehen habe...hatte nur geweint vor berührtheit:)
Vielen Dank! Alle ihre Auftritte waren bisher unglaublich. Vielen Dank für Ihre Kommentare!

Wow!
Crying is perfectly acceptable from listening to Her. Ive Done it.
Multiple times to the same song even! Coming from a 45 yr old metal head.
I'm a heavy metal fan being absolutely blown out by AURORA. She is out of this world.
My whole chest was shaking during listening to this for the first time. And it's not only her voice, she's pure inside and out.
She somehow taught me a few good things about myself and it's really tough to influence me in such a way she did.
Can't wait to see her this summer live.
Talent that is simply not possible to even describe for a mere mortal.
Don't shame about your crying, it's so beautiful! Im also an almost 46 years old man and i always cry at this song... Your crying reaction is so beautiful!
One of the most moving songs you will ever hear. Maybe the most ever. Aurora is a world treasure.
she's vegan also, so wouldn't approve you torturing fish like your profile picture suggests - cheers
Tell it to someone who cares.@@TobyLerone76
Ill send you some hunting pictures too.@@TobyLerone76
We all know, what she is able to do just with her vouice!
She brings adult men to tears, thats a fact!!!
I just love her, for doing THAT!!!

I'm a 39 year old punk rock fanatic who just found AURORA tonight. My reaction was very much the same.
I don't mind an Aurora binge. Maybe watch some interviews with her too, she is an unique being.
Howdy! I did happen to stumble onto one of her interviews! She is just as fascinating in her interviews as she is in her singing! Adorable! Thank you for your comment!
Same same 😆
Same Same
This concert is so special, i can watch 100 times and get goosebumps every single time...
Me too!
tears too
Crazy. I never get goosebumps with Aurora. On the other hand, I do use a paper towel a week.
I reacted the same way. This song is going to be played in my funeral.
So PURE......
I come back to this video now and again so I’m not alone when I break down to it
Yes, this was such a touching song, for sure.
Bro it's been a while since I revisited aurora music and I tear up almost every time
You can cry~~~ drinking your eyes~~~ can you let the river flow wild✨🙂

I generally take my glasses off before watching anything by Aurora. Just a tip you might find useful. 😁
I lost my mum on 31.08, only aged 62. We had no contact over 11 months after a dispute. This song touched me the most cause for mum i was still ,her little boy' and i wished to see her again peacfully
I'm so very sorry.
@@larryshair thank you very much
This song live hits you straight through the heart....
This concert is just magical, I really recommend Lucky and Winter bird at the same place
Good picks.
This concert is easily in my top 10 recorded shows of all time....and there's some amazing shows on that list. But this is beyond something special.
And oddly enough, Winter Bird and Lucky are my two favorites from this one. :) But literally every single song is mesmerizing. I've watched this from beginning to end about 10 times now....about once a month for a year now. It's THAT good.
I'm an older guy too, and wow does this magical faerie move me to tears. You're not alone.
You're hooked now Aurora's Love and Magic's got you, yes she's captured you, real quick I can say......that's great, she is speaking to you, directly, personally that's what she does, she is a healer, a story teller she drives you in,and carries you away, way inside your own core She is unique, absolutely adorable and wise, yes, so talented and gifted and freaking cute!.

I love watching people fall in love with Aurora. I have tickets booked for March 2022 to see her live in Glasgow and I just can't wait.
You'll have to report back to me once you have gone to her concert!

My god what have I just heard?????
I'm frigging bawling
Right???!!!
Thanks for showing us this journey!!
Thank you Luiz for your kind words! "It happened in the Quiet" is next up :)
Welcome to the World of Aurora. I just call her my Queen of the North. Hi from Sweden
The song of the soul, wordless, timeless, full heart vocals ❤️❤️❤️. When my “cup runneth over.” Emotion utterly human and completely sacred; one and the same.
Saw her live recently at Terminal 5 in NYC. She is something else.
That must have been awesome!

shes an angel
She's an angel.
Let's go.
Her songs and performances r oftentimes very emotional. Tears are only natural lol.
I highly suggest continuing with this concert. Special songs include Lucky, Under Stars, It Happened Quiet, Winter Bird, Little Boy in the Grass…but really the entire concert is just amazing, very possibly her greatest ever and that’s saying something!
The piano interlude, as you say, adds so much to that section of the song. I
Like her writing, it’s seems so simple but hits so hard.
Another great performance to check out is on The Current: It Happened Quiet. Breathtakingly beautiful.
Hey Tam! "It Happened Quiet" is going to be reviewed this evening. Thank you for your comment!
My favorite Aurora song from this concert is “ Lucky”. I could only say wow after she finished. I believe she wrote Lucky when she was 9 years old. She writes her own music.
Incredible talent, not to mention the content is incredible. "It Happened Quiet" will be done tonight and then Lucky later this week. Thanks so much for your comments :)
You can cry if you want to
Welcome aboard. I love when someone new finds Aurora. We all reacted the same way you did. We all go for the same songs first. But she is so much more. You have literally just scratched the surface here. She’s hilarious in interviews and in between songs in her live shows. There’s such a lot for you to catch up on. I’ll be following your progress and shedding a tear or two along the way. Again. Just when you think you’ve heard a song often enough for it not to affect you, you find it still does and end up blabbing into your handkerchief yet again. Enjoy the journey.
Thanks Kev!
Never say sorry for tears, emotion is a part of our souls, we should never apologize for that. After all, that's sort of what the song is about.
Stunning love this song her voice takes you to a magical place . A singer that can move you to tears is a singer with a phenomenal voice .
This is really really my first time hear AURORA….. This song touch my song… I never feel this like before
She's pretty special!
Keep going, what peps looking at reactions are looking for is HONESTY, you excel at it. I love your takes, keep at it, great work
Thank you so much! I kind of feel that anyone with a camera and a microphone can't escape her enchantments!
@@larryshair what is impressive is that a new artist (peculiar as she is) is able to brake into our pool of ARTISTS, that is not common , speaks volumes of her quality
I can't stop watching your videos, I finally see someone that feels so touched with her singing, thank you.
Thank you Javiera! That is such a kind comment! Glad to have you along for the ride : )
I really like the pauses. She lets the note disappear and that moment of silence allows you to process before she blows your mind with the next magical note.
Watch this whole concert, it is a life changing and beautiful and mesmerizing experience
Look at her live performance at KEXP Reykjavik 2019....superb.
I cry when i hear this song❤
Always have a box of tissues to hand with an Aurora song. So many rend the heart.
Hi Larry - I just finished watching all three of your Aurora reactions, and I am so enjoying watching you fall in love with her and her music! She is really something special.
Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 25 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. Although she is amazing live, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well. You might enjoy reacting to two versions of the same song in the same video to get a fuller picture of her talent.
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: th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html
It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well: th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
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
Hey Mario! Thank you for this breakdown. This is VERY helpful. "It Happened Quiet" is going to be reviewed this evening. Thank you for taking the time to put this together!
Aurora has a way of taking you into the song with her. Kinda magical..
Totally agree! Thank you!
To be a fan of this earth angel is to know what love empathy and compassion is. She genuinely just knows how to get into your heart. She goes to another world and then comes back. She is tapping into something else in her music. It truly just makes you want to do better and be a better human.
AURORA, is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.(From the same country as Angelina Jordan). Among artists and in the music industry the Norwegian singer AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.
Just to reassure you that she can transmit happiness to in some of her songs . You will have the chance to smile
This song and so many others Aurora has gifted us, always results in me being a sobbing mess, and I am grateful and humbled by it. Every single time, hidden emotions become revealed again, unlocked and released, each experience is so deeply healing and beautiful. Sharing connections through these moments, seeing and reading how another person is reflecting responses so similar to my own, amplifies the significance for me. Knowing these personal feelings are real for so so many is reassuring, calming and just a remarkable reminder how strongly our innate humanity binds us to hold empathy and love and kindness for another soul.
Thank you for sharing your Aurora journey with such care and vulnerability. Be well. 🤍🕊
Thank you, Phil, for your kind words.
I'm a fan of hers, but I had (regrettably) missed this specific performance of this song... Thanks for sharing it!
Oh My God, I haven't even watched this yet.....I'm so excited to see you reacting to this, I had to chime in before I even watched.......Man......
lol!
❤️
There is something in the water in Norway 🤣❤ With the enchanting and mesmerizing artists like Aurora and Angelina, and not just artists but also amazing human beings with their values and what they do for others ❤ Btw, I feel lucky to live in Bergen, Auroras hometown in Norway ❤ Have an amazing day 👍
Thanks Kent! Have you ever had a chance to see her in concert?
@@larryshair Not yet, but seen her multiple times. Concert is on my to do list ❤
Its ok to cry, we have all been there. Aurora is out of this world and I always enjoy going down the rabit hole with her. I also recommend the HAIK documentary, The Seed MV and also her cover of Teardrop from her. Welcome to the Aurora Family. Oh yes, and also do watch the whole concert
I'm Swedish, so this smarts a bit to admit, my two favorite female artists are both Norwegian. One of them is Aurora, "the earth fairy" that you have already discovered. The other is Angelina Jordan, "the barefoot princess of jazz". Angelina won "Norway's got talent" at the age of eight (8) by singing jazz standards (to see her winning song search for: Angelina Jordan - Summertime - 2014). She has since then only gotten better and better and is now fifteen years old and signed by a major label as their most important new artist. (To see her sing an original song at fifteen, search for: Angelina Jordan - seventh heaven, or Angelina Jordan - Million Miles, to see her cover some of the greats I can recommend her versions of I Put A Spell On You, Good Bye Yellow Brick Road, Crazy, I'd rather Go Blind, All I Ask or How Great Thou Art among many, many others. I assure you that you will be astonished by this young lady too. Another deep rabbit hole I'm afraid...
Hi there Akersjon! You know, you are the 2nd person to recommend Angelina. I guess I just need to move to Norway! Loving the journey!
@@larryshair Hi Larry, you can stay stateside, she lives in LA now... 😉👍 And as I already stated in my original post, you will be absolutely amazed by this wonder of the world. She has the ability to take any song she wants and give it her own spin (she has arranged all her own music since the age of seven, the studio musicians and orchestras she's worked with affectionately calls her "The Boss"). She always performs barefoot (she met a little girl working as a street vendor in the middle east that had no shoes on when she was six and after giving this girl her own boots (her favorite ones...) she vowed to never stand on a stage with shoes on until all the children n the world had a pair of shoes of their own (hence the moniker "barefoot princess of jazz). She is a published author (the youngest in ever in Norway), she speaks several languages, plays several instruments and is humble and sweet to all around her. She is the sole driving force behind her own success and has helped raise millions of dollars for charity. Her fans, of which there are many, are called "angels" and they are devoted to her (I count myself among them). Her latest releases are two covers, the first one is Yesterday by the Beatles and the second is Billie Jean by Michael Jackson. And speaking of Michael Jackson, she was invited by Quincy Jones to sing at his 85 birthday celebration, and he later exclaimed that she is the biggest natural talent he has seen since Michael...soo... 👍😁
I was at one of her performances two and a half years ago. A concert hasn't moved so much since I saw Pink Floyd in 1971.
Hey Van, both Pink Floyd and Aurora are 2 reasons why I'm jealous of you ; )
Can't wait for your reaction to lucky at the same concert welcome abord the AURORA train
"It Happened Quiet" (Live at The Current) - th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
two voices and a guitar, chilling harmonies
in my opinion live and without shoes she gives her best - "life is better without shoes" she says
Nice! "It Happened in the Quiet" is next up on my list this evening! Thank you Marco!
Now you're hooked and you will never be free - don't worry it's a great feeling!
I've been happily enthralled since hearing her song for the John Lewis Christmas advert in 2015.
I listen to her every day and no matter how good I'm feeling she always makes me feel even better.
Her interviews are comically magical and magically comical - which is fun.
Hello friend!
What I really like about your reactions is that you are discovering these in more or less the same order as I did back in the day and your reactions, while yours, mirror mine own and probably so many others as well. Keep going and stop apologising when your eyes grow misty :) (Aurora has a song about how its ok to cry, "The River" you can check out the MV for that one when you feel like it.)
As for all the different recommendations I'm going to put in a vote for "It happened quiet", live at the Current.
Hi there Espen! Thank you for your kind words. As a matter of fact, "It Happened Quiet" is getting reviewed this evening! Thank you so much for your kindness!
This song still leaves me crying like a baby for a long time. It leaves me feeling empty and lonely. Aurora is immense, she conveys emotions very well
Such a beautiful song.
I didn't know about Aurora until she featured in a video game named "Sky: Children of the Light". The creators of the game used her image to create a "Spirit" avatar of her and used her songs to create a concert with their own graphics and the story behind the game. In the game, the is a scene of a battle, with children and light creatures dying and this song was used on that scene and the afterwards of the war. My God. I cried and cried, and still cry every time I heard this song. It is a masterpiece. The game brought me to her and I am hooked. Aurora is a light spirit. I am so grateful to the game for immortalizing her. Look it up. It is amazing.
4,000 PEOPLE PER CONCERT!!! ... I can't wait to see it on PC ... I haven't seen it yet. 🙂
And how many concerts were there?? So many, right? One of the best seasons and momemts of sky, with Aurora featuring the way she did. Just freaking amazing!!!!@@Nimoot
I have been to several concerts with our norwegian "treasure" Aurora, and she is a very extraordinary person. I recommend It happened Quiet for you and The Seed. I think you will love both of them. What makes Aurora so special isnt only her performances, both also her ability to write strong and powerful lyrics. Sje has also done some amazing cover songs like Bowie's Life on Mars. You have a lot of hours of joy in front of you.
Thanks! I plan on reviewing "It Happened Quiet" this evening :) Seed and Running with the Wolves is also on the top of my "to-do" list... Thank you for your comment!
@@larryshair For the reaction of It happened quiet, i would recommend you take a look at this version: Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current). It is a more accoustic version with only Aurora and her back-up singer on guitar. It is a stripped down version where Aurora "soul" stand out a little bit more than in the other version with big musical arrangements.
Love your reaction to the most beautiful song and performance ever 🙂🥰
Thank you Anne! It's hard not to react in a profound way when watching her. "It Happened Quiet" is next up this evening : )
Jerks the tears right out of ya doesn't she?....Great reactions....SUB
Her sister Victoria deigns/collaborates with Aurora and makes her outfits.
I've always interpreted the last part of the song as a vocalization of a baby's cry. For some those cries are unnerving but this is what I imagine those cries sound like for the mother of the baby. Crying is the most vulnerable innocent and honest form of communication known to humanity. And we as a grown adults should practice it more then we are. We should not be afraid to show true emotions that overflow in us. They are beautiful. And Aurora expands on this thought in her song called The River.
Aurora is pure magic✨ to get a deep dive into her artistry and spirit I would highly recommend to check out the concert “Haik”. A specially the song “The seed”. The concert is a part of a Aurora tribute day, arranged by a great Norwegian radio host. The concert was actually a surprise , where they gathered her family, friends and fans in the woods where she spent a lot of time during her childhood. It’s a great one cus it captures everything she does and is perfectly through both her amazing performance, but also through an actual dialog with the audience.
Stay true, stay safe✌🏽
This concert has 12 songs, only three are covers, the other 9 are Aurora originals. Every song is pristine and perfect. Winter bird is another you should experience- no, you must see the entire concert. You will be blown away!
Another great reaction for great performance. Whole 1h Nidarosdomen concert is a pure magic.
I am also happy you like to going deeper and deeper in this rabbit hole as I love this artist and I like your reaction too ('discovered' Aurora this year I think in 1Q2021 and listen to her music since that time). And about music without words - it means music talk to you and music is a universal language :).
You really feel the song 💖🥰
yes, another masterpiece. I think your reactions are very good, and i dont mind at all you doing them as the video goes along (pausing)...after all thats the point of your channel, right. I wouldnt be watching these kind of channels if i didnt get a deeper understanding of the artist you present. Sensitivity is a must to understand A'urora. You got it. thanks.
“It happened Quiet” Live at the Current. Just her and a female guitarist who sings back up. Talk about getting lost. Aurora is always reaching for that which cannot be touched. Something that hides in the white lands. In the land of daybreak. For a moment alone with the unbeknown. Behind that door locked by the pale blue.
Hi David! You are not alone in your recommendation! "It Happened Quiet" will be reviewed this evening. Thank you for your comment!
If I ever just got to listen to 2 artist for the rest of my life... it would be the 2 norwegian angels, Aurora Aksnes and Angelina Jordan and I will live a happy life with that ❤ Aurora is enchanting and Angelina is mesmerizing ❤ The emotions, the voices, and the human beings they are... its just amazing ❤
I MUST watch Angelina. I have had several requests!
Start with Bohemian Rhapsody on AGT age 13, or Feeling good age 10 👍 I think that is a good start to get a Feeling, but she got 155 songs on TH-cam so it is a big rabbit hole ❤ from age 6 to age 15 👍
Get to know why she is barefoot while performing and you are hooked ❤ Its a wonderful rabbit hole 👍
Thank you. Verry good react and is just nice to see emotions whether is good or bad. At least i'ts honest. Thank you and hope to see new reactions from you in the future. Take care.
Thank you Arvid! "It Happened in the Quiet" is next up on my list this evening!
She gets me every time as well, she is something very very special like no other artist today.
