FIRST TIME hearing Aurora - Across the Universe (Cover)

[@MrTombre]

i have a feeling John Lennon would really like Aurora

[@Lady-Lilith]

If Imagine wasn't overplayed and overcovered, I'd totally love to hear Aurora cover that. Just her and her piano.

[@ispbrotherwolf]

Aurora is a wonder in a dark world :-)

[@rebecamarianaarinelli1454]

I love the change of lyrics in the end "I am gonna save my world" /"Are you gonna save my world?"/ "Nothing is gonna change my world" So political and clever, just like Aurora is. Congratulations for the 2k, Adam! You deserve it! Keep doing amazing videos!

[@AdamStraughan]

Rebeca Mariana Arinelli Thanks so much! And I didn’t notice that about the lyrics! That’s amazing!

[@hakanandersson1276]

Thats my line 🤣🤣🤣

[@patiencerain6900]

I dont view it as political. Just empowering

[@patiencerain6900]

4 words in and it looked like you wanted to cry! Beautiful song perfectly matched to a beautiful voice

[@alnatex]

Aurora also has an acapella version of Through The Eyes Of A Child that is just harmonic perfection.

[@WhiteTiger333]

It floored me the first time I heard it. Across the Universe is one of my very favorite songs and she and the band brought it to a fresh level. Until I saw it, I hadn't thought about the fact that so much of her own music follows the same depth and energy. And when she said "I am gonna change my world", my heart exploded.

[@WhiteTiger333]

"Save" my world, that is.

[@romeorodrigues5606]

Aurora is this. She can do any song, your song. She puts your essence on every cover

[@RosalineScarlett]

I'm just so glad this one finally came around. It's possibly my favorite of Aurora's covers, and she does a magnificent job taking the sort of dreamy lyrics and theme and putting that to sound. It definitely carries me somewhere else in a sort of lullaby. Aurora and her band are absolutely impeccable artists and performers, definitely on showcase here.

[@Rattletrap-xs8il]

The attention to detail in harmonies and the layering and counterpoint are amazing. Aurora while I have never hear described as such is a true prodigy of sound and story. You can see it in her face as she sings, she sees the story unfolding as the song does. I know of no one with this gift.

[@KuraiiAkuma]

Your are 100% right! Silja's voice is amazing! I love her... And all the band too! When they are togheder every performance is incredible!

[@marshallross3373]

Ya, great arrangement and performance. Never heard of Aurora before till I came by your review page--very talented. Great analysis.

[@aeh5138]

There are thousands and thousands of reactors on youtube.... but you must be one of the best I've come across. Always analysis of substance and genuine emotion. And yes... it's time for some old/unreleased songs of Aurora. I find them interesting much because I think they originate from what happened in Norway in 2011. Also that they beautifully complements songs from her first album. I really appreciate the early melancholic Aurora in contrast to the present Aurora that I find a bit warmer and hopeful in her songs (still sad songs 😅). Keep up the good work 👍

[@AdamStraughan]

That's so lovely to say, thank you!

[@thatnerdyuncle]

Aurora makes the imagined place softer. There is also something in her voice, the accompanying voices, and her personality that makes it an invitation. Your description of the way the ensemble works together is beautiful, as is the ensemble itself.

[@kekeke4]

All of their voices sound so magical together 🍃 This is the reaction I've been waiting for 🙌🏻 Thank you Adam!

[@mishaaleksander2782]

Such a unique voice and very refreshing. Hi Adam, I am new to your channel and I like what I hear. You did not just give your perspective on the performance but also explained the technic without too technical. From your list of video reactions I didn't see your reaction to amazing "new" singer from Kazakstan : Dimash Kudaibergen. He has a wide range voice (6 octaves), masterful in technic. Most reactors picked SOS as the first Dimash's song (covered) to react since it showed how much talent he has, althought I think almost all of his performance are mindblowing. Subcribed!

[@graemesandstrom5654]

Thanks mate! Beautifully articulated!

[@simonwe]

Thanks for the reaction Adam! This is one I actually had never heard before so it was fun to watch it for the first time with you. Congratulations to 2000 subscribers! :)

[@suzanneblomgren2237]

Agree , great cover 👍 she's awesome

[@anicapalini]

Congratulations for the 2 k subscribers, you deserve it and I'm very glad to follow you, to see your channel grows and to share all those wonderful moments with you almost since the beginning. Across the Universe is for me, one of those song that the creator version is and will stay apart, it is sentimental and John Lennon voice will always be special to me. I say and will say exactly the same about Aurora and her music. I have listened at a lot versions of Across the Universe and Aurora's version is the one that touch me the most, as usual she bring me in her magical world and with her spin on it she made me dream as I was dreaming the first time I heard this song played by The Beatles. As you said her stripped and simple version, based on the voices is outstanding, I Love it. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction and the perfect analysis. Take care!

[@AdamStraughan]

Animah Capalini Ahh thank you so much! I really appreciate that!

[@joaodotcodes]

I reaaaally love to listen to this cover a few times a week. It's like it brings me somewhere else. I believe you're gonna love her cover of Leonard Cohen's So Long Marianne as well. Since she had such a big connection to his music, you can see her emotion days after he passed away while she sings. Anyhow, KEEP IT GOIN!

[@avedic]

That little part around 2:10 during the "...like a million eyes...." line.....the way she sings that is SO cool. I don't even know how I would describe it musically, in terms of what she's doing. It's just this weird jazzy lilt to her melody that really captures the overall vibe of the song. Just love that little moment....

[@robintaylor3633]

Congratulations on 2k Adam you deserve it. What a wonderful soul confirming cover by Aurora I absolutely love the original and this is definitely up there with it. I had a tear in my eye again and she does it to me with so many of her performances. Believe me no other artists have ever done this to me. Here's to the next milestone. ❤️👍👍

[@johnquiroz8279]

Oh Adam do the interview with this your going to love it it aurora sure knows how to interview like a version

[@romanjohnston]

Its like the Beatles wrote this for Aurora.

[@dganit8807]

Good for you! Watching your videos has become a part of Aurora's fans daily/weekly routine and we're enjoying every moment of it! I agree that Aurora's band has taken "Across the Universe" to a new level. In my mind it's one of their best covers. Silja Sol's voice blends beautifully with Aurora's. If you react the live studio performance of "Animal" at "The Current", you'll also notice their beautiful blend of voices. This studio has great acoustics.

[@AdamStraughan]

Ahh thank you so much!

[@henningmathiassen412]

Listening to this I would love Aurora to cover John Lennons song «Imagine» . That song is close to her spirit and Soul. And again you have made a great reaction - looking forward to the next one!

[@maxsteiner1964]

Ah yes. Looking forward to this Adam. Edit: When I heard this the first time, It was some of the most beautiful sound iv heard. Thank you Aurora. And thanks Adam and as always, fantastic job. And, I think it is a really good idea to react to more of her shows. Aurora is such a delight to watch as well as listen to.

[@walterF205]

It's hard to talk about a favorite song for an Aurora fan, but speaking of covers this is my favorite of all. At its end it would take a moment of meditation and peace, but that musical theme of the site arrives like a truck inside a shop window ... :D Happy for your first 2k subs! Keep it up!

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks so much!

[@dummysticc]

I love all of your reactions

[@maritklaussen3416]

❤❤❤ Auroraraises my soul every time ❤❤❤ thanks Adam 😍

[@milkytea9480]

Ahhh i'm so happy, hitting the like button before i even watch the video haha ❤

[@AdamStraughan]

Haha and I appreciate it!

[@cryonet1068]

I just love this version of a fantastic Beatles song. I think Beatles would have been very pleased with this version. Lets hope Sir Paul would get the chance to hear it

[@56kof]

Aurora and her band is a piece of art - Have you listen to Ane Brun yet ?

[@terjesovik]

Congratulations with the 2k+ Subscriptions. Well done. Quite a list of Aurora reactions, and I have enjoyed them all!

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

[@hakanandersson1276]

Thanks for the react by the way. 💓💓

[@MrTombre]

@@hakanandersson1276 du er så svensk Håkan, bare lagom med info i hver tråd 😜

[@rockape1954]

Affection is a good word for what Aurora brings to music...

[@JandGo]

Love this cover .. nice reaction!!

[@vincentcarrot]

Adam, I love your Aurora reaction videos! I suggest you react to Aurora's cover of Wrecking Ball, the video is on Geir Luedy's channel and it is from 2014. Congratulations for 2K+ subscriptions!

[@HONJAASE]

🦄💖

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

FELICITACIONES POR LOS MAS DE 2000 SUSCRIPTORES LA HICISTE FLACO!!!

[@eyemagistus]

This was the first Aurora video on my KZbin feed. I had to find out who that woman was that was so bold as to update John Lennon’s lyrics. It was pure genius. “Are you going to save my world? My world?” It was long over due. Lennon was disappointed with the production values on the original version. He felt Paul and George Martin didn’t give it the attention it deserved. I’m sure he would have approved of this.

[@RA-do9wm]

This is such a soothing, soul-healing cover. I've been listening to another song by her lately that has the same effect on me, and I don't think it's been requested yet. It's unreleased and called "We Were Going to Do That". And congratulations on 2k subs! Definitely deserved! 👍

[@AdamStraughan]

R A ahh thank you!!

[@Lady-Lilith]

Adam, you should check out some of Silja Sol's solo work. Her style is so different from the work she does with Aurora, but man is she talented.

[@anirenka]

Another masterpiece 🤩🤩 Please react to "Aurora sings Cohen" 🙂👍

[@tripislifelifeistrip3911]

I actually listened to this cover for first time couple weeks ago and thought that you'll probably create a video about it sometime and you really did! Awesome! :) Can you react to Fallulah "give us a little love"?

[@mjolnir426]

Congrats on 2K subscribers! Not going to ask for _the_ favorite, but do you have another Across the Universe cover you’re partial to? I really like Fiona Apple’s version, especially the music video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. :) Aurora’s cover may have dethroned it, though...

[@ludipietroarte]

Absolutely stunning... ♥

[@steinovemjeldheim5132]

Great reaction as always! I will recommend you to check out Silja Sol's solo stuff, she has a successful career going on her own. Her recent "Verftet Online Concert" is great!

[@mammastenhjerte]

Thank you for another great Aurora reaction. I do not comment much, but I watch every reaction and they always brighten up my day. I would like to suggest that you react to Aurora's live vevo The Seed performance or her like a version performance of The Seed, and then after her performance of The Seed Greenpeace Action All Areas. All are striped back version of the song. Aurora likes to change up her live performances and give us variations and something new every time, but the Greenpeace performance feels different, as is if Aurora is covering her own song and "Aurora'rising it" and I would really love your opinion on it. I will leave links in a comment below.

[@AdamStraughan]

ahh thank you so much!!

[@dulcealvarez6071]

congrats! we are now 2k!! I'm still battling between this and teardrop as my favorite cover well and half the world away as well, from the cover you already react which one is your favorite? Also, for a new artist you should react to "shadows" by daughter @air studio I think you'll like it

[@AdamStraughan]

Dulce Álvarez I’d say Teardrop so far!

Pretty sure you by now have heard every single note 🎶 she ever sang! I don't EVER have the need to meet any of the people behind any of the music I enjoy. Except for Aurora. She is one of the most interesting persons on this planet I could have an conversation with.

[@Elin-LightWorker]

I love this one :D

[@billweekley4077]

See you made 2M. They are anticipating.

[@jailaye6929]

Stellar reaction as usually . . . It might be time to do the Wrecking Ball cover, Adam. Especially if you will be leaving Aurora's covers. Please, please please. . .

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

That was A W E S O M E !!!

[@janr.halvorsen7568]

Congrats with the 2 K subscribers, well deserved! I have a suspicion that you got a boost with your AJ reaction, she has a h u g e fanbase of loyal followers. So at least for the subscribers, more AJ reactions might pay off 😉 Great reaction to this Beatles classic, as you say, the simplicity and harmonies are stunning! I also repeat my previous suggestion on the live version of Running with the wolves, Somewhere else festival. Really cool and different, more rock orientated version.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks so much!!

[@auroravideos8276]

"Lucky" Vevo version! please :)

[@schuhschrank947]

Just found your channel, never heard of Aurora before! You seem to be a great reactor! I would love you to react to Pentatonix! You might like them, they are a acapella group!

[@johnquiroz8279]

Hey nothing's gonna change my world 😊

[@56kof]

Silja Sol´s voice is like a piece of crafted silver sparkling discrete and artistic behind Auroras gold - makes me happy these artists - and Adam, I like your take on music.

[@inufan4L]

[@charliehiggins4430]

As a mutual fan of Aurora and Angelina I direct you to Luciana Zogbi if you haven't run across her yet

[@headshotm4a1]

Another favourite! It's difficult for me to suggest any other artist on an Aurora video, haha. You might already know them, but how about - Hozier, Hayley Williams, Sigrid (Dynamite: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnzZk5SQiaaEhJI)

[@marcomendez3842]

Please, react to Petals For Armor by Hayley Williams 🌺 Pd: I love your accent 🤭, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
