Don’t know how I missed this version, but what a GREAT take on 🧚 Aurora’s 🧚 surprise song. You’re right about those backing vocals, I think they strengthened the message of the song💪
Bossa Nova Aurora ! She always explores very interesting ways to change the delivery. This version let's Frederic shine-and those harmonic pings he does are just beautiful. And agree that an even more stripped down version with just those two would be awesome !! Happy New Year and nothing but the best in the new year to you !!
Late to the party once again *sigh* . Love the Spanish guitar & the bossa nova groove is hard not to move to. I’m with you on stripping it back further, I really love super simplified acoustic versions! PS The lion’s mane is spectacular! 🦁 Changing your looks up can be fun 😊
Just for a treat, for yourself, when she released it, there were multiple other activities, an instructional dance video, some kind of after party, maybe a pre-broadcast, one or the other was a tea party as only she can tea party, a round of interviews, I think her childhood friends in a panel interview, all quite quite;)
Im an AURORA fan as well, and this song was what initially drew me to her music, I heard in a tic tok video , and i was thinking to myself,... thats a catchy tune... then i forgot about it, but still remembered . Then i heard it again after constant flipping to find it.. and OMG that song was the tip of the iceberg. and i wrote it down on a piece of paper to listen to later, and i fell down a rabbit whole with her.... love your channel as well i look forward to Tuesdays.
This is one of Aurora's strengths, that she is always re working songs. As to the appearance, Hair styles and colour are just personal preferences, you do what you want. Thanks for all the fun in 2024 and best wishes from wet and windy England for 2025.
@Ashlena, do you remember reacting to her mini concert in Glasgow right after Covid restrictions opened? It was just her, Fredrik and Magnus on stage. The entire concert was very acoustic and quite intimate and she sang just 6 or 8 songs. But Cure For Me was one of them and I loved that Bossa Nova sound from that point. This version is very close to that. I loved this one too, but I can agree on that Auroras voice alone will carry this tune just fine. Happy New Year and lets hope 2025 holds better news for us all. Much love from Norway.
As a gay person CURE FOR ME will always have a special place in my heart, same as QUEENDOM... when I heard it first I was surprised too, but I just love it. 🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷 happy new year!
totaly agree, I personaly prefer Queendom but the topic is so important. And I think that she made it like a kid's ''gna gna gna'' thing, ''you won't get me'' vibe, so in that aspect she need to keep the ''bubbly'' old video game style.
Queendom is such an amazing song. Cure for me is a great message and I’m glad it went viral on TikTok haha. Happy near year Frank! Thanks for being a long time subscriber xx
You loved "Running With The Wolves" at her show. Suggestion for new poll: Running with the wolves Aurora Lollapalloza Argentina 2023 from Mateo Velazquez channel. She perform with dancers. NOT fancam! LOL And btw it was over 40c when she did the show, but same energy as always on stage. I have no CLUE how she do it! She's Norwegian like me, and we don't have that kinda heat. I would have passed out! LOL
aurora herself isn't a big fan of this silly melody but thinks it suites the message. thanks for another year of happy aurora tuesdays. happy new year.
Not my favorite version either, but I appreciate that she's not afraid change up her songs in so many ways. For acoustic, the bossa nova version with Silvana Estrada is my jam!
LOVE the hair! lol One of few Aurora songs I don't like, but love the message though. Funny thing is that she meant to make it a little ugly, and was surprised it became a big hit. She don't really like the melody herself. LOL She wrote it when she was in Brazil, so that's why she used the bossa nova rythm. She wrote it after she saw how f*cked up the sitation is for the lgbtqia2s+ comunity there. She also recorded female drummers in brazil and used it for Queendom.
I, of course, love the message of the song, but was never really into the musical vibe of it. Like you, though, I like it because it's Aurora, but it's not a pick for me. It's also never the first song I show someone. I like this version much better. I know it's a Latin rhythm, but in this version, the "dut-dut-dahs" give me more of a smooth jazz, Sade vibe which I like better.
Hi, ashlena! I am just gonna copy my earlier suggestions: I knew you would love these versions. And there is a few more for you!: Queendom harp version (th-cam.com/video/mRWNbOJ6C7o/w-d-xo.html) The Woman I Am acoustic (th-cam.com/video/6JMA0rQfvgc/w-d-xo.html) Your Blood acoustic - you will love this one (th-cam.com/video/qWwqGUAkTh8/w-d-xo.html)
I agree with you, this version is good, but the OG one is better to me! That’s not a knock on this one however, since it is still really fun and catchy! I actually got into Aurora from BMTH, and I love both equally!! 🤘
Mach dir keine Sorgen um dein Haar. Du siehst super aus. Ich würde dich um ein Date bitten. ;) Moin aus Schleswig-Holstein und ein guten Rutsch ins Jahr 2025. ❤ Don't worry about your hair. You look great. I would ask you out. ;) Hello from Schleswig-Holstein and a happy new year 2025. ❤
Hi Ashlena! Love the hair btw🤍 I also think it would have been better to do more harmonies with her voice, but it is still pretty. I prefer the studio version in this case. Love u!!🤍🤍
😂 I believe the da da da...is supposed to represent the annoying conversion therapy representatives. They are usually depicted with the carnival masks 🎭. It's supposed to be annoying and not beautiful 😂. Of course, that's a part that many people love😁. I'm not so enamored by the "bossa" version. I personally "old-fashionedly" like Bossa Nova songs to have more interesting chord structures ☺️. Btw, you look beautiful with the naturally fluffy hair Ashlena
Great reaction, I recommend checking out Loathe, especially their album I Let It In And Took Everything, they are a metal band very similar to Deftones but a bit heavier.
Lion's mane is magnificent. Bossa nova AURORA I like but I get your meaning. Movies i do not go to, although not hate them. I just think that movies are best watched on TV. Until I have a cure for me for this flu, I'll be talking like Yoda. New Year very good I wish!

Happy new year and thank you. Same to you!
Love the reaction Adore the hair
Awwww thanks! My hair is probably my biggest insecurity
@@ashlenamusic lol nein. Du siehst super hübsch aus, Ashlena. Ich will ein Kind von dir. ;)

She does a great version on p3 live of this tune. Very bossa nova.

Rio de Janiero version? I think I have this on the Japanese CD. Thanks Ash. Last AT of the year.
Your hair is gorgeous ⚡⚡⚡. Enjoy your channel always ☮️💜😎
Thank you so much!!
I love her acoustic versions of her songs, really hope she releases an album of just acoustics versions
I would love that

Whoa that heat is madness but I would’ve loved it haha
@@ashlenamusic I can't post the link, but there's a funny short of her in a interview from there. 🤣 "Aurora physically melting in Argentina"
She referred to the "da da da" as the sound of homophobia so I think its very important for her to keep in the song.
Ohhhh I didn’t know that!!
aurora herself isn't a big fan of this silly melody but thinks it suites the message. thanks for another year of happy aurora tuesdays. happy new year.
lol
Interesting!!! And thanks for watching xx
@@ashlenamusic p.s. your hair looks untamed and vital. i would keep it this way ;-).
❤ manetastic lioness xx̌x
Hahahahahaha
❤
so it's the last day of ´24 I think I can handle anything...........
🥳👍
Have you explored Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton-Choir Of The Mind?
Oh I love Emily Haines in the biggest metric fan
@ashlenamusic
I nearly broke Johnny Foxtrot with Risk, last night.
Not my favorite version either, but I appreciate that she's not afraid change up her songs in so many ways. For acoustic, the bossa nova version with Silvana Estrada is my jam!
Not flamenco… bossa nova! She has done live versions of other songs with bossa nova style, and I’m here for it!
Ooooo interesting!
LOVE the hair! lol
