If you’re spellbound by her studio version, you’re not prepared for her live performances. She’s incredible, her vocals are magical 💜
YES
Yes 🤭
Very true. As a live performer, she's superb.
Without a doubt. I highly recommend both Runaway and Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) from the 2015 Nobel Prize concert.
She literally casting spells with that voice live. Shes phenomenal!
Aurora was 18 in this music video in the winter of 2014-2015. Her real name is Aurora Aksnes, and she is now 27 and she is from Norway, and she writes all her own music and lyrics, and she has released 3 albums and 2 EPs so far, and is currently working on the 4th album. She is definitely using her own layered voice as background vocals, except of course the male voice near the end, which I think is her drummer Magnus Skylstad (no longer her current drummer).
Her voice is just as good live, and she is so interesting to watch. Aurora is The Voice in the Disney movie Frozen 2, that is calling to Elsa.
Aurora’s female backup singer also harmonizes with her. She plays various instruments she usually sings the higher harmonies.
Thank you for this great background information about her!
Aurora Aksnes. 27 from Bergen Norway. She wrote this song at age 11. Singer-songwriter, producer, dancer, choreographer and a wonderful soul. She has been touring the world since age 17. She is the siren voice calling Elsa in the Song "Into The Unknown" from the Disney movie Frozen 2. She has a huge catalog of music, interviews, documentaries, live performances on TH-cam. I hope you react to more from this artist.
Aurora is Norwegian. This is an old video from when she was very young. I’m sure her ‘Weirdoes and Warriors’ (fans) will tell you all you need to know and then some. I would recommend ‘Lucky’ and ‘Through the eyes of a child’ from Nidarosdomen (The Nidaros Cathedral), ‘Churchyard’ and ‘All is soft inside’ from KEXP.
Loved your reaction!
I've been following you for quite a while, and I'm surprised to find that you're new to this magical Norwegian artist. Aurora and Floor Jansen are my favorite vocalists, but Aurora is much more than just a good singer. She's also a fantastic songwriter, producer and performer. In fact, live is where she really shines, as she lives the music and lyrics in her performances. If you want to make a direct comparison, the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert version of this song is absolutely epic!
Aurora does her own background vocals, and is very hands-on with every aspect of her music and videos (sometimes to the chagrin of others). When you see something original from Aurora, you know it's pretty much all her. She is a true artist and very authentic. With her, it's all about the art.
Welcome to you down here in the Aurora rabbit hole….👍😁
All the voices are Aurora here. She has backing singers when live. You should see some of her live performances.
Aurora is 27 Years old from Bergen Norway. She writes all her own music and lyrics. She's been writing songs since she was 9 years old. She's self taught on piano and some stringed instruments. This video was filmed in the forest near her home and in her parents' front yard (overlooking the fiord), when she was 18 years old.
Do not deny yourself the beauty of Aurora!! Dive right into her catalog and treat yourself to this musical treasure!!!!
In this video music, I think Aurora made moust of the production and background singing laiers herself. The lyric and melody she made at the age of 11. Great reaction bgp`
Only one word for Aurora GENIUS
Wecome to one of the best audio rabbit holes on the internet. She is exceptional, and always completely and exclusively herself, unique and awesome, enjoy your journey! 😍🤩
Thank you so much for introducing me to this mesmerizing singer. 👍❤️
Thanks for listening!
This makes my day! I always love when a reaction introduces someone new to Aurora. 🤟
Aurora live is simply off the charts simply the best live performer I’ve ever seen forget your media driven mainstream rubbish aurora is head and shoulders above all of them as a singer songwriter her catalog of songs written by her from the age of 9 is astonishing this song Runaway was written by her at the age of 12 and just note the views for this song and you will then understand how loved aurora is by millions around the world.believe me you have just hit Gold Dust with our warrior queen Aurora so welcome to our world you will never leave and as Aurora might say “let love conquer your mind “ ❤️
In simple words she is a pearl in a sea of music.
Her Queendom is a beautiful place.
It is a good thing that Billie Eilish has heard about Aurora, as it was Aurora who inspired her to start making music. And you have maybe heard her voice before - she was "the call from the North" in Frozen II (?). As everyone knows - she is great in the studio - she is exceptional live. If you love a bit of tension being held before finally being resolved - Aurora - Lucky live in Nidarosdomen is a masterpiece, where Aurora's voice, Silja Sol (backing vocals) an entire male choir, a string orchestra, a church organ, harp and everyone else in her band almost life the ceiling of the 900-year-old Norwegian national cathedral.
And you are correct - Aurora can love to throw in a tiny little "waltz" in the middle of her songs. On her last record she for good measure threw in an Argentinian tango and the finest accordion solo you have heard on any "pop album" in your life - before breaking into country and western.
As I always say - she is to me the most interesting artist on the planet on the alt-indie side of pop music. She is "whole wood" through and through. Good luck with your journey. I am sure everyone is looking forward to it.
Some commentary mention it. Wait till you hear her live performances when she sings realy emotiones along with her hole body expression ther you can talk about drag you in. Very nice to hear your reaction. Subs you for the Aurora journey. Next one Aurora -it happend quiet - live - the current. That one is crazy. Whole body experience
it's her layered. as you said: background vocals only in live situations. but don't be fooled by the production, she is at her best with her piano at home. it's 12/8 or 6/8. don't stop by the single video,she has an astonishing repertoire. this song started it's existence when she give it birth in age of 11.
Live versions are the only way to truly appreciate how great of an artist she is. She nails it every single time. Completely captivating on stage.
Lost for words? Dont worry, that happens a lot when seeing Auroras performances. Her music videos and studio stuff are fantastic, but her live stuff are mindblowing!
Check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen or Murder Song from the Nobel peace Prize concert.
A few fun facts: Aurora is her real first name, Aurora Aksnes is her full name.
Aurora does 90% of her music, every aspect, except "office stuff" I guess 😅. She buys almost all clothes second hand or vintage, or make the outfits with her sister Victoria who is a fashion designer. Her other sister Miranda is a makeup artist. Aurora did NOT dream about beeing an artist, in fact when the management contacted her she said no. It was her mother that said to her that she should try it.
Second this😍
She sings with many amazing musicians and back ground vocalist. On this album and in her early touring career it was Selma Frida Stang. Later Silja Sol and others have enchanted us with along with Aurora's inspired poetry and performances. I am a hard rock, metal fan mostly, but Aurora has made a place in my pantheon of music, she is enchanting, magical and her lyrics inspiring.
In Aurora’s albums it’s only Aurora’s voice in the background vocals 😊
Silja actually was before Selma, but she quit and Selma stepped in. Silja came back in 2017👍
@@lillm6874 Perhaps, but she is noted as a band member in the liner notes of the album.
@@NathanAllen If she is noted it’s for playing an instrument, but I can’t see her name anywhere 🤔☺️
@@lillm6874She is a pretty good pianist.
Frida herself, is a great musician and singer.
I'm so glad you have found Aurora - her work is a wonderful rabbit hole of creativity and emotion. I look forward to seeing how you explore it.
You were really close, She is from Norway. You cant go wrong with a song that has over 1/2 Billion views! By far, my favorite artist! Great reaction. I highly recommend going down the Aurora rabbit hole, you wont be disappointed!
Her live performances are phenomenal. Try murder song 54321 live at Nobel peace prize concert.
And the cherry on the cake......Aurora is so absurdly and insanely cute!...................
Oh man, imposible not to fall in love with her from the first glimpse.......we're so fucking fortunate Amen
Welcome to the world of Aurora ❤
I also throw my vote in for Murder song (5 4 3 2 1) Nobel Peace Prize version. It will literally knock your socks off.
great reaction and musical analysis, im glad your video got recommended to me. Aurora's music is amazing :D
Glad you enjoyed!
You should also check out her Nobel Peace Prize Concert performance of this song as well as Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1). Live is usually best, although the video for 'Running With the Wolves' is excellent.
I enjoy 1st time reactions to Aurora! Chills and "Wow" usually sums it up.
As a 55 year old prog rocker, Aurora came onto my radar via my eldest child- they thought it would be something I'd enjoy. Boy, were they right! I went to see Aurora live in Brixton, London with them on the last tour and it was a magical evening. I've seen so many gigs and enjoyed every single one but that room, that night was special. Aurora is an ethereal presence who loves and is loved in return- everyone was there as themselves, living their best lives as who they were meant to be and all the time being supported and enveloped by the artist on stage. You can't help but fall in love with Aurora- she is something really very special. She is a great writer, singer and performer as well as being a genuinely beautiful human being.
Very good reaction. I liked it a lot. And Aurora is amazing and unique artist from Norway (= you were close ;) ). If you talk about emotions, Aurora has many emotional songs (especially in live performances as she is very expressive too and very "into the song"). And for sure it is right to jump in Aurora rabbit hole as she has so much great songs and performances. She has also her own style + she write and coproduce her own songs. She started to make music on her own from 6 and added English lyrics from 9 - she wrote Runaway song when was 11). Very creative and artistic soul :).
Ps. As far I know she use her voice on albums but of course in live performances she harmonize with back up singer and even other persons from her band (she is great with harmonies).
Aurora is a magical personality with a hauntingly beautiful soprano. ❤❤❤
The amazing thing with Aurora is that her live versions are cleaner and sound better to me.
Well, this is one of the few artists who is better live than in the studio 😊 And welcome to the universe of Auroa.
Fantastic reaction, many reactors (with musical backgrounds) have commented on her doing the unexpected in her music, Aurora is extraordinary and extremely unique. Her songs are brilliant, her voice ethereal, my favorite multi talented artist. Welcome and come back soon.
Man she needs to become a journey on your chanel, you'll never be disappointed I promise.
React to her albums, EP's, different performance of the songs, the cover she made, her unreleased song that have been leaked on YT. Trust me, there is nothing to disappoint you, shes special and everything is just unique as she is !
Especially if you watch her live performance, do not forget to watch and analyse the way she moves her whole body and her face, this gives goosebumps as much as her voice and music
Awesome. im sure youve already gotten plenty of comments abt doing her live performances and have plenty of recommendations already. my personal favorite is the KEXP performance (churchyard or all is soft inside), its more upbeat and energetic. and her performance is just so infectious--it was what really made me first realize how special she was as a performer and cool as a human being.
Aurora is a Norwegian singer, song writer (music and lyrics)and music producer born in 1996. And yes, it's always her voice that your hear in her tracks, layered as backing vocals.
I highly recommend you to listen to some live versions of this song, I think you'll find it, let's just say interesting:
AURORA - RUNAWAY - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert: th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html
Aurora: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: th-cam.com/video/evBgLWQwAFA/w-d-xo.html , the first song.
AURORA - Runaway at 101.9 KINK | PNC Live Studio Session 2022: th-cam.com/video/4bbuR-qnFlg/w-d-xo.html
I bet you'll get a lot of suggestions, and I hope you'll dig a bit more her wonderful musical world. Anyway, nice reaction to Aurora, this creative and endearing artist from Norway.🙂👍
Subscribed for Aurora rabbit hole you’re about to go down. You should skip the studio stuff and check her out live, she’s much better.
You have stirred the 'Warriors & Weirdos' crowd. She calls us that because she fits that description too. Aurora is a forest sprite who is astonishingly talented. So lovable at times and irreverent at others. The other comments are spot on too.
Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. You have discovered a truly magical place. I hope your journey here is long and beautifully strange. It might be hard to believe but her live performances smash her studio work.
I enjoyed your reaction to her very much. The anticipation she brings is spellbinding. Please listen to her live. She sounds magical live!
One of my favorite Aurora performances is Through the Eyes of a Child (live at Nidarosdomen).
She's utterly unique, very talented, and completely free of any kind of falseness.
Aurora casts a spell. Snow flakes fall. A crystal clear voice chimes. Hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy the ride!
Aurora is a gift to all who will listen. True artist.❤
Her LIVE performance of this at the Nobel Peace Concert was magical.
Beatiful Aurora...
Man, ypu just bumped into Aurora, the Best of the best ever.....so you are getting started in a most gratifying discovery journey.....just think.....this was back on 2015 and she is still with us sharing her Love, Magic and Goodness among us common mortals
Here is a more recent live performance so you have a better idea of what this magnificent and stunning artist is capable of, and the unique and special human she is......don't need to react.....sit back and let her take over
th-cam.com/video/IGIVyPB2sls/w-d-xo.html
She is a child prodigy still in the precess of growth......awesome songwriter/storyteller, remarkable performer and producer and the most beautiful soul out there in our lifetimes we are fortunate Aurora walks with us and that is a blessing
Welcome to the Queendom!
It’s a great hobby, watching people hear Aurora for the first time. 54321 the murder song makes me cry every time.
Her live performances are amazing!
Half a billion + views. If you post a reaction on Aurora, "they" will come.
"We" know who "they" are.
I’m subbing I don’t watch reactions really but I like how you actually let the song play to get a good reaction
Love this song! Highly recommend her live performance of "It happened quiet" (live at the current)
Askjell feat Aurora. To be loved. Askjell plays the piano at her concert in Nidarosdomen, also from Bergen.
Sub Urban feat. Aurora. Paramour
Pomme/Aurora. Everything matters
Aurora/ Qing Feng Wu. Storm

She's a dear one- there are many great videos of her.
She wrote this song when she was 11 years old! To answer your question, she's from Norway. She's phenomenal!
😊👍
My life is better because of Aurora ❤
Welcome to a better world and a sub from me stay safe.
"A better world" is the perfect description for Aurora!
Lol, you think you liked this? Just wait until you see her live stuff :) This is just the appetizer. Go with the specific videos people recommend :) Thank you, awesome reaction to our Queen :) Sub after just one video? Sure
Nice reaction video! Please, have a listen to her signing this and two other songs live in 2015 at the Nobel Peace Prize concert. She is currently 27 years old. She wrote 'Runaway' at the age of 11. Search: AURORA - Nobel Peace Prize Concert | 2015
She also does great covers. Check out her cover of Believer by Imagine Dragons at KEXP and her cover of Bowie's song Is There Life On Mars at NRK.
I love all her covers. I think my favorite it Massive Attack’s song Teardrop on Like a Version
Rasputin
Welcome home!
Waiting for more Aurora
Subscribed to follow you on this journey =)
A first time viewer says hello! Loved your reaction and hoping for more AURORA. (psst W&W's: let's wait until he reacts to Soft Universe / Nidarosdomen). Also, you pros have invariably good audio quality and levels, much appreciated. Ordinary YTers are sometimes hard to listen to IMO while they might be otherwise lovely. Maybe it's just me, I'm old. TY
Thank you! I really work hard to have quality audio so comments like that make my day!
Aurora is great at giving you the feels. This is my favorite version of "Through the eyes of a child" No instruments, Aurora only on first verse, Aurora with backup harmonies for the remainder. If this doesn't get your emotions going, nothing will. th-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/w-d-xo.html I hope you do more Aurora, for yourself if not for your channel. She is an amazing human being!
Loved your reaction! Definitely check out some more Aurora. It's all good, but she really shines as a live performer. I'm sure there are a ton of recommendations for specific songs from previous commenters, so I'll leave that to them.
If you're looking for new artists to listen to, give Kalandra a try. They're also based in Norway and have some similar sensibilities to Aurora, though they tend to be more guitar-based.
Aurora is an incredible artist (from Norway). She writes and arranges her songs herself, she is incredibly authentic, her live performance captivates you, her videos are sensitively designed and meaningful and her songs are very versatile.
Two suggestions from me:
"It Happened Quiet" (live):
th-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/w-d-xo.html
"Queendom" (official video... and one of my favorite songs)
th-cam.com/video/wULeXeQkqd0/w-d-xo.html
More pleaseeee
If you want to see her live performances, I’d recommend listening to any of the ones from the HAIK concert. Daydreamer at HAIK is one of my favourites (I’d also suggest watching the whole thing tbh, it’s only 7 songs).
Beautifull, her Voice is so .... Pure, Try murder song 54321 live at Nobel peace prize concert.
I seldom watch reactions to the official mv of Runaway because I look for the live version at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert which blows the mv's out of the water, imo. But I'm running out of those reactions so discovered your channel lol. Nice reaction, hope you listen to all the wonderful recommendations by the various Warriors and Weirdos in comments as most times live versions are best but there are some mv's that just do it better as well (i.e. The Seed, Cure for Me and the latest Conflict of the Mind). Hope you continue with Aurora, she's always doing something new, exploring her voice, etc...
Edit to add: Love your enthusiasm! New subscriber :)
Thanks!
you need to react to her live performances!!! Nidarosdomen!
Hi. Check out Wardruna Helvegen Live. Aurora sings with them. Its a Norwegian band who sings old Vikings songs with old acustic instrument.
Yup,welcome to Aurora.
Epic track🇳🇴🇸🇪 I suggest 'It happened quiet' live in Nidarosdome i Trondheim, Norway
Welcome to the rabbit hole. I only discovered Aurora a couple months ago but have watched hundreds of TH-cam videos, documentaries, etc. Enjoy!
Listen to her live performances, you won't regret it❤
Through the eyes of a child live is amazing! Have tou done any Ren yet?
I have!
Re: the meter. I've watched a few reacters struggle with it. I think you are right. It's 4/4, but triplets on each beat.
I really loved your reaction. You wanted a live video? Listen to Aurora- murder song . The 2015 peace prize consert. Im swedish by the way. Great to strumble to your site. You have a new subscriber now. Aurora is from norway. If you want i can also , send you her stuff in norwiegan. They are also Magic. Earlier thou. Take care , 🤗
Thank you so much!
Watch her do this live at the 2015 Nobel peace concert
Aurora is not a band it's a person the girl who sings writes the music and the lyrics and is a multistrumentalist. She wrote this song when she was 11.
wait until you discover eivor!
Great reaction. :) If you can, I want to recommend two songs by another artists. First is Kokia, amazing japanese singer, songwriter, composer, arranger and producer, and her song "Gematria" live performance from Layers ~Lights and Shadows~ concert 2016, this song is indpired on buddhist mantras and lyrics are in not existing language (more correctly it's mix of few languages like japanese, english, italian, french etc and gematria is using there) because, like she said, emotions are the same in all languages. In her music she using back vocals recorded by her, in this song you can hear it. She has insane control when she singing and such beautiful voice. Second is jaoanese band Queen Bee and song "Fire" performance from The F1rst Take TH-cam channel, there artists have only one take to perform and it's on channel. It's acoustic version, just acoustic guitar and vocal. Their vocalist and songwriter Avu-chan is non-binary person, she feels more like woman and she prefer to be called and treated as woman, she can sing with both male and female voice and her high notes are insane, she's so free when she singing, she's not afraid to use any abilities she has to perform. I think both performances are very interesting for music teacher to react, so I hope you will react to it. :)
"I've never even heard of this group before" then hang onto your t*ts chief because you are in for the ride of your life🤣
She wrote most of this song when she was 11 years old
Please react to her song Queendom...the music video.
At this point, I can't help but feel frustrated when people suggest this version for first-time reactors. Is it good? Absolutely, it's Aurora, and it's 'Runaway.' However, considering it's her debut single, it's evident she likely had little influence over the concept of the video or, at the very least, the fashion choices that were made. Consequently, it falls short in authenticity compared to every video or live performance that followed in her career. In my opinion, newcomers should be directed to "Runaway" from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in 2015; it serves as the best introduction to Aurora imo.
Having said that, I (and likely every fellow commenter here) encourage you to continue your journey with Aurora. If this gave you goosebumps, just wait what's about to come... 😁
Try to react to AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert
That key in which Aurora ended is possibly better understood in this classic live video of the same song: th-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/w-d-xo.html
Watch her live this song she wrote at 11, she's not from this world!!
Have you heard AURORA’s Scarborough Faire? :)
I have not. Might need to add it to the list!
