AURORA - “Through The Eyes of a Child” - REACTION! //Patreon Request//

[@JoelJB60]

I lived in the caribbean as a child, but never have been back. It was of course, a paradise for me back then. Often wondered what it would be like to return as an adult. Would it darken those memories? Thank you, Alison for sharing your recent travels. It is inspiring and lends positivity to the notion of me going back someday.

[@billpo]

She is incredible…this girl can make a grown man cry…she brings out emotions that I never knew I had…can’t explain it…and I always thought I was one tough SOB…

[@Goldun-nah]

You’re touch to let your tears flow. You should listen to her song The River. You can drink in your eyes and become a river when you cry. Much love brother

[@michaelclark980]

There’s never a time this song doesn’t pull at my soul strings. Plucking each one until my soul spills from my eyes. I really needed a cry and I absolutely sob every time I see someone react to this performance, not because I like to see them cry, but because I want someone so badly to relate to how she pulls this raw emotion from you and it presents to you such a healing cry you didn’t even you knew you needed! Your reaction is completely normal! It means you’re not just human, but you’re a pure and good human. We have too many that are just human.

[@celinel9750]

The way you describe what her voice is doing to you is so beautyfull and well said. Thank you for letting Aurora touch you 🙂

[@RunarNyrud]

True heart and soul = Aurora.... 100% - This is a "easy" song to understand, there is more of hers that are more hidden / dificult. But Aurora sometimes tell us what SHE ment with the song, but she also loves US to find our own "hidden tresures" / meaning of her songs. I have lived a while.... I am fan of Elvis (I was 7 when he died), Queen, Springsteen, Chis De Burgh, and many others, but nobody I ever have seen get's so deep into my hear and soul as Aurora does. I actually met her on the street when I was in her home town Bergen. I have NEVER had problem speaking to ANYBODY, but when I met her I froze, I did not get a word out.... That is not logical, she is one of the nicest people in the univers, and nothing to be afraid talking to. Honestly: I thing it was my "defence system" that shut me down, if you start talking now you will start crying... NOBODY does that to me... Other than Aurora. I have no idea why I react like that... I was standing 3 meters from her mother, father and one of her sisters at a concert, I so wanted to go up to them and shake their hands and thank them for supporting Aurora, to give us this fantastic gift that is her art. Espessially her mother that urged her to not hide her art from the world. I honestly belive her art is a gift to human kind. Big words, I know..... I did not do it, I was "too afraid", that is also very stupid, they seem to be very nice people....

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

this concert is really lovely, the church and the orchestra suits her well. but have you ever heard the name eivor? she is from the faroe islands, a classically trained sopran and owner of a masters degree in traditional nordic vocal techniques and her vocal skills and her versatility are absolut mind blowing. finding her was an almost religious experience for me. her song "falling free" live at the old theater in tórshavn is the best live performance of all artists that i know. she also did music for the tv series the last kingdom and the computer game god of war. she has also an excellent band behind her back and is now making music professionally for more than 25 years being just 41 years old. being emotional is the essence of a reaction video. if you want to cry you could also chose either susanne sunfor, when the lord, or steven wilsons music video for routine. when the lord is a feature song for a documentary called self portrait about the leading norwegian fotographer lene marie fossen, who suffered from anorexia since the early age of ten and died short before the movie premiered. the combination of susannes intese vocals and songwriting skills and the heartcrushing portraits by lene are an intense visual journey. steven wilsons music video for routine is a very sad story about the worst possible loss, the music video filmed in stop motion unfolds such an emotional power. make sure to have some hankies in reach for both tracks

[@rosemay75]

Aurora has plenty that evokes many different emotions in her discography… I hope you keep going. 😊💕

[@Anners1982]

I am a man at 42. Still cry everytime I see this performance. You are not alone Alison.

[@afrisv]

I've been worried about crying at her concerts (Norwegian, so I do see her live occasionally), and had managed avoid it, until the last concert I went to in march. Some tears during this exact song. Totally different version from this, but beautiful as always. Knowing who she is as a person, and that it's not about making hits for her, makes her music special. She writes when something affects or bothers her. Safe travels! 😊

[@skolifoust49]

I am a 49 yearold surfer from Florida and she strikes me eveytime Not afraid to cry. It is purification to letting go and joy

[@poolhallshark]

Beautiful, beautiful reaction ❤ These feelings are shared with a lot of people today, I'm sure about it. And I guess among every single one of her fans😊 Aurora is my second favourite female singer, after Angelina Jordan. They both transmit feelings in a way that most artists don't. Enjoy your trip👍👍 Much love and respect from Norway 🇳🇴❤🇳🇴❤🇳🇴❤

[@Hundhammer]

Agreed! ❤❤❤

[@hakanandersson1276]

Dear Lady. This make my day for sure. A good cry is liberating for the soul and i am a cryer. Aurora is a real Empath and still are. Her music changes but her soul is the same. There are so much from her i wish for you. Hope you continue this journey. A little suggest are LUCKY in Nidarosdomen that one is my favourite performance ever been made. You see that when you look at it. Have a great time i US.

[@lillm6874]

Thanks for this lovely reaction to this masterpiece of a song❤️ This song and performance always hit me hard🦋 Fun fact: This whole song was played in the series “The 100” (season 4, in the end of episode 12)🥰

[@brendapace3541]

Oh don't apology, you can cry, like says Aurora in "The river" song ❤ She Is art, magic, light, just enjoy the travel... Greetings from Argentina 👋

[@Roy-mw5js]

Aurora is a true artist. She sometimes sings about dark things but it still sounds beautiful ❤

[@rachelann9362]

This song never fails to make me cry. She seems to really FEEL her songs, and you can see it in her gestures, how she moves, her facial expressions and how she twists and turns her vocals. But she’s even more interesting. Some of her songs I’ve seen sung with completely different vibes, and they still work oh, so well. It’s like she picks up on how different people will interpret her words.

[@philbsmiling]

Lovely heartfelt reaction to this emotional and beautiful song. Always makes me cry listening to it. Particularly this version. Sending kindness to you.

[@Einyen]

If you feel like listening to the song again privately, I recommend the pure a cappella version with amazing harmonies, it is just as beautiful. It is called Through The Eyes of A Child - Stripped (Vevo UK Lift) on her main channel.

[@hakanandersson1276]

I agree on that❤

[@ricoeugene-uu1bs]

..new subscriber here.. Just "found" You. I love Your heartfelt and sincere reaction. ..evidently You have been through something.. -Emotional reactions to a song / lyrics , are better than the cold analisys of the voice.. Thank You.

[@SoulFeather111]

I love that she kinda turns in the song she is singing, like an elemental avatar of SONG and sound. I love that!

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

all the ways you describe her music hit me so viscerally, seeing that I am an Aurora/Eos devotee. she's definitely an incarnate dawn goddess imo

[@Tarkus_]

Beautiful reaction to a beautiful performance! Thanks for opening up, take care. 👍🤟

[@johndennison3140]

This whole concert is just incredible for me it simply should be on everyone’s Bucket list.I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it and it never fails to move emotions in me like nothing else has ever done,as a 68 year old guy and having seen Aurora live 3 times in concert I’ve run out of superlatives in describing how amazing an artist she is so I have no hesitation in saying that Aurora is the best singer songwriter and the true essence of what the art of music should be all about a Genius ❤️🍎

[@jwhittington78]

I felt all the exact same feelings you felt. Aurora has a grip on my heart and instantly makes my eyes tear up every time. There's something about the purity of her voice and her overall aura...she's somehow simultaneously both childlike and the wisest old soul around. Enjoy your trip to the states! If you find yourself in Seattle happy to buy you a drink and talk music!

[@Rackelhane]

Dont leave your inner child. How can you not love this young Lady? I'm flying to Edingburgh 5/10 to se her in concert again. Cant wait . Great reaction. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.❤🎉

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Manchester the day before.

[@Goldun-nah]

This is the best reaction ever. It’s nearly impossible to unfeeling when hearing aurora. She really pulls us into the feeling she felt when she wrote the music. Love your sincerity and you attentiveness. I hope you’re okay. I live in the south in south east Georgia and we have been devastated by hurricane Helene

[@erik5820]

0:19 your first attemp was pretty spot on :-) 'Nidaros' is the old/historical name of the city Trondheim. 'domen' means (the) cathedral (most cathedrals have a dome of sorts).

[@hatai]

She’s starting her world tour today in Milan and will be playing in Brisbane 13.02.25. If you have the chance you really need to NOT miss her live show. It leaves you drained in the best way possible. Every emotion in less then two hours ♥️ Thank you for your emotions ♥️

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

Agreed :)

[@kentovewagenes1141]

Simply a masterpiece ❤

[@ispbrotherwolf]

Giving your love, nothing else 🥰

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Aurora could sing the phone book and it would be a beautiful and more than likely a very emotional experience. Thanks.

[@SingerDadReacts]

I very much enjoyed your reaction, Alison. This profound masterpiece was my first reaction to Aurora and it touched me deeply. There is so much we can learn from this message. May your heart be lifted and may you be blessed with a renewed gratitude for the precious moments you have each day. All the best to you and your channel. You have a beautiful spirit.

[@droidattack2888]

Never feel bad for emotions first off that is what aurora wants to make us feel lol. As a 46 year old man i am brought to tears wishing i could go back and change life or just even feel life through the eyes/skin of of my childhood again. . That was bliss but i never knew it until now.

[@WhiteTiger333]

no worries - it was a long time before I could listen to that song without simply sobbing my eyes out...even driving down the road listening to the CD and trying to sing along without choking. Few reactors, male or female, manage to make it through that song without breaking down. All of her songs hit universal places in our minds, hearts and souls, as does her beautiful energy. Aurora is a special human, for sure. And the fact that she can share her wonderful attunement through beautiful music is even more special, imo. Even her songs that address the darkest corners of our humanness carry hope in them, as well.

[@HaiYuerGao]

You are beautiful Alison, everything will be alright ,

[@AlisonReacts]

Thank you x

[@alexandermacneil4430]

This song makes me cry and long for the innocence, wonder, and naivety I had as a child. You believe that the world is good and just but reality smacks you in the face as you grow older and you learn otherwise. We are a flawed species, some individuals more than others. Life has been and never will be fair. Sometimes the bad people win. Sometimes the good guys always lose. Sometimes life is random chaos.

[@AlisonReacts]

This.

[@ricimosny3169]

❤no further words are needed here ❤

[@arctic-1878]

You seem like a good person!❤ Aurora really touches your soul with her music!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Superb performance and magical setting..the accoustics of old Cathedral make it both haunting and live.. it reminds me a little of Forence and the machines performance at the Royal Abert Hall early on in her career. 🧙🏻‍♂️🇬🇧 As for this lady maybe you should here her sing with her viking friends.

[@i-klaus]

AURORA always does something to me that in German is called "Kopfkino". You can roughly translate it as "head cinema". There are images and emotions that seem to come out of nowhere. Not many musicians do that to me. Greetings from the Black Forest.

[@AlisonReacts]

See THIS is what I envy about other non English languages! They have words for feelings or moments that we don’t have in English. That there is a fantastic piece of information (you have no idea how much I love learning new things like this) - that’s such a perfect way to describe sensations I get with music!

[@aeyriss3636]

The non-verbal singing part with the choir, reminds me of how a child sings. When my daughter was little, playing with her toys, happy and content in the moment, she would sing without words. Very innocent and pure. Aurora brings that alive and ties it in with her lyrics.

[@skolifoust49]

I hope you watch her more . She is. Amazing

[@vincentmb238]

Nice and lovely reaction.

[@thedryparn1279]

There is no shame in crying to beautiful art. I find it releasing.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Emotionally devastating, so please do not apologise for being emotional. It shows your humanity and is a compliment to the artist. Aurora is often at her best when she goes off on these vocalis passages.

[@torhelgevreb688]

You should see Aurora sing helvegen together with wardruna live in Bergen. That always makes me cry

[@BorisCosier]

She is a secret gem for us who gets it

[@torfinnjensen5052]

The whole concert from Nidarosdomen is availabel on the net

[@chakarasama]

awee same. I love this song and it's so beautiful. childhood is so ignorant and that's truly bliss. If you like this version, try the live version they did on Vevo. You should try to listen to "Invisible Wounds" it's from her latest album

[@paulkossak7761]

Aroura has recently released a new album and she has a couple of live performances from the album done for VEVO. "A soul with no king" and "Your blood". you should check them out. They are incredible

[@Hysemannen]

I actually live half an hour ferry ride from Aurora.

[@HenryAusLuebeck]

I think Kokia - Hountou No Oto would also have you in tears. It means My Sound

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

This is a more recent and beautiful Aurora song, performed live, not so long ago...last June, yo be true.....and she sings about a girl that didn't fit and always wanted to go away, but her mother was always there.....and again...some beautiful song, Dreams, by the Best of the best, Aurora Aknes click and let her take over kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZuoZnSAq56rq8k

[@Hysemannen]

You actually did quite good at prenounsing Nidarosdomen.

[@johnytwo]

You are a great girl :)

[@suryonohp3391]

Mam 🎉 if U have time please react Putri Ariani channel ( blind girl ) from Indonesia 😮 she live show single concert in Malaysia state with 13 songs 🎉 like "I will survive" "who I am" etc etc

[@rplieth]

Nicely done in terms of you're in the smaller picture and the singer is the larger. This song however is one of those that is ruined by commentary, especially long tangents... even for a reaction video. No offense, just IMO.
