FIRST TIME hearing Aurora - I Went Too Far (Live on the Honda Stage)

[@nobodi817]

She stole my heart a couple of years ago and now I am watching her getting more popular every day. She should not be a secret.

[@mrstotoro2342]

I love that she has changed the lyrics a little bit from "walk away" to "love again"

[@biravijnya]

This song means so much to me cos she made me realise I deserve to be loved

[@baskoning9896]

Aurora is proof angels exist. I love her soo much. She heals my soul when she sings. Why am I crying...

[@gashigaleo7794]

I love this song. Aurora has a voice magic!!!!

[@crazyweirdgabes3894]

Wow, I love this song!! And just like you say, I love all the beautiful messages Aurora brings through in her lovely music.

[@Prantass]

This song was written long before that show, i believe she said on an interview that she wrote it out of an experience with a group of people who she wanted to be friends but these people mistreated her. This song speaks to me deeply, not the same way as it was inspired to her, but I've been that person who pours yourself at someone's feet and it's never enough. It's hard to pull yourself from that hole of self degrading, but i see it now as a life lesson. Ps.: i hope my request for London Grammar reactions is on that sticky note 😅

[@alym346]

Aurora is amazing ❤️

[@johnlovenhill1]

I absolutely love this song ... the lyrics, the beat and the performance.

[@robintaylor3633]

Really Good analysis Adam she has a lot of ability in putting emotion into her songs and yet keep them upbeat. Can't wait fo your next one.

[@omegahaifoleet8667]

Thank you for reacting to this one! :D Check out the music video - it touches even harder and it is just beautiful! Even if you are not going to record your reaction it is worth it. Stay safe!

[@ispbrotherwolf]

I work with children with special needs and have done so for 18 years. You build a sensivity for special people. I am one of them :-)

[@mjolnir426]

Terrific analysis of the song and indeed Aurora’s evolution as an artist there. Broken record mode: the Jimmy Fallon “Conqueror” performance is _arguably_ better. :) Maybe do the Conqueror reactions back-to-back to still have the complete Honda Stage set. Or not, your channel! And I’d love to hear your thoughts on the whole “management addition, Aurora is not a fan of the song” aspect (...do you agree with her - or perhaps them?). Cheers.

[@AdamStraughan]

Mjølnir Ahhh this is a great idea! What a way to end the Honda stage! Thanks!!

[@KuraiiAkuma]

AURORA actually like conqueror. In the documentary "once Aurora" seems the manager force her to only perform conqueror becouse he was thinking that was the only "main stream" song the radio would promote..but she seems to want to try exploring different sound the menager don't approve completely.. That my opinion after watching the documentary btw n

[@mjolnir426]

@Adam Straughan Sounds excellent. 😁 It’ll also give you the chance to really “evaluate” the song. While getting two different performances, and finally seeing what the Fallon/Conqueror hype is all about.

[@mjolnir426]

@Kurai Akuma “If I have to release music I'm not happy with again, I will quit.” - Aurora, referring to Conqueror She does want to try different sounds and ideas, and occasionally clashes with her manager (not so much these days, I believe). You’re of course entitled to your opinion, but regarding Conqueror it’s not a song she’s a big fan of. From a more recent interview... INTERVIEWER: Why do you dislike “Conqueror”? AURORA: It just doesn’t feel... (...Aurora goes into details on her feelings about the song. Full quote coming under the Conqueror reaction video). 😁

[@KuraiiAkuma]

@@mjolnir426 i agree with you..I said that she actually like conqueror becouse she said it in the "gaytime Q&A"... I've explained my thoughts in a bad way.. Sorry I'm Italian and my English is quite bad.. What I was try to say is than of all of her songs of the first album her manager keep asking her to perform conqueror for all the "critics shows" but she seems prefer songs that she felt more rappresented by(more deeper as she said) , if it make sense

[@grudge6648]

One of my favorite things about your reactions is that you listen to the song all the way through then give your reaction. Most other people feel the need to pause it every 5 seconds and in my opinion that just ruins the song. Kills the flow of it. Thank you for doing what you do and the way you do it. Best Aurora reaction site on KZbin.

[@AdamStraughan]

Grudge 5 Awww thank you so much! It’s comments like this which keep me going! I really do appreciate it 😊😊

[@judleym5877]

Another thoughtful reaction - keep them coming. I am happy that Aurora is happy being Aurora - she is the most "honest" performer I've ever encountered, if you know what I mean. Cheers.

[@jandebrabander6304]

For Conquerer do the Jimmy Fallon one 👍

[@Bexreddin]

Aw the way she bops around on the stage!!

[@warriorweirdo4721]

The ending is amazing

[@alliesmoley5165]

I love your reaction and analysis of the song!

[@RosalineScarlett]

As much as I love her live performances, I also recommend watching the music video for this one - or really any of Aurora's when available :) It's lovely scenery, and an emotional performance - as you might expect from Aurora.

[@alliesmoley5165]

I love this song ♡

[@emlyndoell3158]

I love the message of this song! My friend got me into Aurora. I then showed her your reactions to her songs and my friends has also subscribed. She loves your videos!

[@AdamStraughan]

Human Girl Awh thank you so much!

[@thedaintypeach1997]

thank you for listening to this song and taking time to talking about it, this one is my favorite. i hope you will look for “the seed” music video!

[@karolinakubat5393]

I haven't watched you for a week, and now I'm binge-watching :) her honda stage performance is one of my favourites. If I could recommend another song to react to- her cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack is great :)

[@AdamStraughan]

Karolina Kubat Thanks so much! Teardrop is definitely on the list 😁😁

[@Pauline.Lloret]

I have to say, I’ve been really busy lately and it’s affected my mood quite a bit, but your videos have been like 10 minute breaks where I can just forget about everything and listen to aurora (which is always a good thing anyway) followed by your interesting opinions and analyses. Thank you for taking the time to make videos, watching them is always a pleasure!

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much! What a lovely comment! 😊

[@yumeuniverse]

Really good analysis Adam ! As always 😊 Also your thumbnails are so funny everytime when you copy Aurora's movements 😂😂😂😂

[@AdamStraughan]

Yume Universe Ahh thank you! Pleased you like them!!

[@Dacre1000]

Dont think, personally, that its necesary to react to Runaway again considering there are so many songs to react to that you havent even heard yet, taking also into conisderation that you have already heart some live renditions of taht song prior; but hey, lets the public decide! Just my two cents. Im also recomending her Jimmy Fallon Conqueror instead of the Honda one, but i guess you might want to keep it consistent. Still, watch the Jimmy Fallon if you decide to react to the Honda one, even if its on your own. That ending will fill the most rainy day with pure sunshine, and the version itself is so upbeat and bouncy that it allmost feels like an 80s song, and i mean that as a compliment. She exudes pure happiness there. If i rememeber correctly, back in the day (when i was young and beautifull... nah, kiding; i was born old and have never been beautiful) of her 2016 tour, she gave an interview explaining that she got inspired for this song by how it infuriated her to see a friend she cared about very deeply being treated like shit by someone he loved. But then she also supports the listener to interpret songs theyre own way. And she gave other possible aplications of the meaning to other situetions later. Another thing she used to say is that she likes mixing the moods up a little. sad lyrics to upbeat songs, so that both would feed each other. Many people who dont care about lyrics think many of her songs are happy just beacuse they are upbeat. There are many who still think The Police´s Every Breath You take is a love song...

[@AdamStraughan]

Dacre1000 This was a great comment, thank you! And yes, I will watch the Jimmy Fallon performance on my channel!

[@beshzhang3796]

Thank you so much 😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️. You are a really good reactor, I love your reaction and your analysis..I really enjoy it..AGAIN you are my favorite reactor..stay safe and thank you again 🥰♥️

[@AdamStraughan]

Besh Zhang Thank you so much!! Much appreciated!!

[@shiela0317]

This song makes me cry every time 😢

[@moneymanoyin]

At this point react to everything Aurora 😂. We’re all for it 🙃

[@confusedsophie]

I absolutely love this song! It’s one of my personal favorites from her! I have a suggestion for you to react to, you should react to Daydreamer! It’s one of my faves from her and it’s currently blowing up because it was featured on Apples WWDC 2020. And I think you’d like it a lot!

[@AdamStraughan]

🦄SophiaTheUnicorn🦄 Ahhh I didn’t know that! Thank you!!

[@confusedsophie]

Adam Straughan Your welcome!

[@kaedenepowell6069]

I love how you explain things. Once again a very wonderful reaction. Please react to Grace VanderWaal.

[@AdamStraughan]

Kaedene Powell Thank you so much!

[@jaylaanpough5524]

The studio production of the song and the video are really cool. I think you shoulr check it out. ALSO!, I LOVE WATCHING YOU REACT TO HER. Seeing new people (like I once was) getting acquainted with Aurora is so interesting to me. The way we all kind of share the messages but have new things to comment every now and then... is a vibe 💫

[@AdamStraughan]

It definitely is a vibe! Thank you!

[@ale3695]

I loved her performance of this song on P3

[@jespj7888]

Great reaction as always ^-^

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!!

[@Abbadonhades]

This is one of my favourite Aurora song, and you've got a good analysis going too. I would like to recommend the band White Lies with the songs " Farewell to the fairground", "First time caller" and " To loose my life." Another band that I'm getting into is Cigarettes After Sex, and I especially like their song "Affection."

[@AdamStraughan]

Abbadon Hades Thank you! Ahh White Lies I used to love them!

[@TheLjokjell]

I don't feel it's necessary to do Runaway, I believe you have done it like 3 times now☺️ it's a good version, so you should absolutely check it out, but you don't need react to it. I Went Too Far music video is good though. And as some others have mentioned here, Animal Soul (verftet version) (that whole concert is good, it's also including Massive Attack Teardrop as others have recommended)

[@sarlina1]

Thank you for a superb reaction again. But, you have not yet reacted to Animal Soul. That is in my top 2 from Aurora. You still have a few left, and some great covers. I recommend Animal Soul at P3. There Aurora plays the piano, it is absolutely beautiful. Please do this one, I have requested it before. Now the time is here, I feel. Thank you, Adam 👍💕

[@AdamStraughan]

Sarlina A Thank you! It’s definitely on the list! 😁

[@Angelis118]

I love this channel. Here are two things i like, one is Aurora and the others is Adam 😍

[@AdamStraughan]

Luca Angelis Awh thank you!

[@rockape1954]

There are two lots of Glastonbury on KZbin on the John Peel Stage 2016 & 2019. 2019 is good quality and obviously a bigger repertoire.. Well worth a listen.. They are quite long sets.

Lars Loeshagen Ahh thank you! And ooo excellent I’ve never heard of them!

[@feslipe6282]

this is my favorite song

[@juuliawarrior1188]

I’m not sure, but this seems to be the first song I heard from Aurora and learned this song first.🥰 I think you can see all the emotions in her songs through she’s eyes.🥺 Could you next respond to Aurora’s Animal Soul song?

[@rocroc]

Best watch it if you happen to share a loving experience with Aurora. You may very well end up in a song. But then again...just how nice would that be :-)

[@scottishmob7982]

AuRoRa-Scarborough Fair legendado and lyrics. crazy good!

[@steinarberglund6632]

I would love to see you react to some of her first performances. I'll add a short list of some early ones here: First TV performance in Norway: Awakening.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWOkZYFogrSgg9k Nordic media festival 2015. Murder song and Running with the wolfes kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4q2n42sbpmlmNU Her 2nd (first big) performance at island festival 2014 full concert kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3fVfGaHnLekfKs First time she was featured in the national news at prime time. Early 2014 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn69f51shcZ8gKc Another News video on Aurora 1 year after first news apperance 2015. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2icpZZ8gZd6e6c One of the first gigs abroad Austria 2015 When i'm Gone kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWqTfquemNGnmZI OMG didn't even know this was out there. She got discoverd by a facebookclip of a song she performed at 10th grade graduation. "I had a dream" she wrote it at 9 years. The videoclip is just 1 min long, but there is an audio video of the whole song. Both are here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3azY4Owf9qerac full song with lyrics kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX62aJyXrZ2kr6s Video of her on stage

Watch the P3 NRK version. Her and a piano, no backup. Enchanting and very different.

[@AdamStraughan]

Jay Bee Jay Ooo thanks!

[@Bexreddin]

Yass I love your reactions! “Auroraised it” 😂 Please also react to ‘Different Kind of Human’ - when you watched the Haik documentary it came on for a second and your eyebrows raised in curiosity to the intro so I think you’ll love it - it sounds morbid but it’s deffo going in my will as my funeral song 😅

[@AdamStraughan]

Rebecca Reddin Ahh Thank you! And sure I need to check it out properly!

[@christinevr7698]

I LOVE A Different Kind of Human,... it's magical.

[@Lestat2705]

If I am not mistaken Aurora wrote this song when she was nine (or at least it has its base then) when she wanted to belong in a group of children and they didnt want to accept her

[@mattgwinn]

She said in an interview that she started writing it at age 6. She didn't specify which parts or how much.

[@MrTombre]

for me you can react to everything and anything Auroras ever done =)

[@maritklaussen3416]

❤❤❤

[@tanor9532]

Aurora explains her"I went to far" song : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYKpeWWagLCXaZo

[@Accolonian]

Ah man, Sorry about the Conqurer takedown. I got to watch half of it before I was stupid enough to refresh the page. And it was gone :(

[@leoola4119]

Aurora wrote this song when she was about 9, and she said it was about some little kids not letting her play with them at primary school and about not having many friends etc. Somehow I found that hard to believe and she looked like she didn't believe what she was saying herself. But I think I know the real meaning behind her song and she's not allowed to say publicly.

[@aaron2256]

never turn down a honda live react 🤩 u should still react to runaway its so good on it

[@anicapalini]

I'm not sure when she wrote I went too far, I just know that she wrote all songs of her first LP between 9 and 18 yo. She wrote and recorded "Exist For Love" in 2017 ;o) so she was 21. I Loved your analysis, It match well with what I feel too.When she said "it is a sad song... but not so sad", this is, to me, a facet of Aurora, a kind of a dark place and a redemption, despair/sadness and hope/Love, except for "Exist for Love" and she presented it at the first song of a new era. For futur other Artist, I discovered a Girls Japanese Rock band, really good rock music but as I don't speak Japanese, I don't know for Lyrics. It would be nice to have you react to at least one song. Their name is "Band Maid". Dice: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGkiqGMf71sebs Thank you and take care!

[@AdamStraughan]

Animah Capalini Ahh thank you so much! And for the recommendation!

[@steinarberglund6632]

Fun to see the amount of subs you got after I first commented and you had like 50 subs. Auroras music has affected so many plp and she is my favorite artist. No need to react to this(unless you want to) but just see how Auroras music has helped plp around the world on this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZK4gpaYmZl3htk And I'm sure you'll get even more subs if you react to another Norwegian singer Angelina Jordan. This is a good start if you want to react to her. Angelina is 9 years old here. She has recently made some songs by her self, but it is her voice that sets her apart from most. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKipnaJ5hb2tedU Still love your reactions and have watched all your videos. Btw Another Angelina Jordan clip that is amazing is here, from AGT in 2020. She is 13 now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWetqGB7ia1ko6M

The version of "Conqueror" on the Jimmy Fallon's show is way better!!! It's a great opportunity to see Aurora having lots of fun, dancing, and really enjoying herself!!! Definitely not the typical Aurora performance.

[@X_ch4ng3]

Another great rection! 🙂 I think I remember she said a long time ago, that the song is'nt nesseseraly about romantic love. It can be trying to hard to be accepted in a group of friends as well. I dont remember exactly what she said, but I think it was something along those lines.

[@Dacre1000]

I heard it at a concert. She explained before she sang it that when she was younger she was encouraged to join a group of girls and that she made big efforts to be accepted, and that, after some time, she discovered that she actually didnt really liked them at all and that it is a waste of time to sacrifice ones self to be accepted by others, even more so if they are not really wort the effort, and if they dont accept you for who you are, they never are . Maybe you heard it there too?

[@baskoning9896]

Heilung Krigsaldr. Please.

[@egiljohnsen6145]

Aurora has shocked me time after time when I listen to her lyrics. 9 years old when she wrote Lucky, 11 when she wrote Runaway. What shocked me most was All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend. She must have wrote this in her teens, I think (it was the title track to her first album, but it was never released). There exist some live performances and demo tapes of this song, but I prefer this ad hoc piano version (she struggle a bit in the beginning) it catch me more. Aurora is an excellent observer. I think she prefer to stand outside the road, observing people walking, instead of walking on the road herself. Here is the link from her Instagram online stream, that I found. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5ewd4Bje6dgj9U

[@Lady-Lilith]

Aurora actually stated the Exist for Love was written when she was 17. She said that relationship did not last, because the timing was not right. I think maybe it took her some time to get around to recording it given that it was very different from a lot of her other music. Oddly enough "I went too far" was written when she was 9, or at least wrote most of the lyrics at that age, after witnessing someone not demand the respect they deserve.

[@egiljohnsen6145]

No, no, no, you should not skip Runaway @ Honda stage. For me this version is the best, she is so emotional when performing Runaway at this concert. OK, she perform runaway at every concert, so I understand, but when she is at her best, each performance is quite different.
