Ooohhh Lady. You are going to love this journey. Mother earth spokeswoman for sure. Welcome warrior.

[@jefferyedoherty]

From one Aussie to another, welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. You have fallen into a truely magical place. I hope your journey here is long and beautifully strange. It doesn't matter where you go next with Aurora. All of her songs will touch you in a different. Some will raise you up and make you cry at the same time.

[@AlisonReacts]

Hello! I’m really excited to discover someone like this that reminds me so much of Sia, for one, but this feels like a wonderful introduction to her and what she’s all about and that connects to me so much. I’m so pleased. These comments just make me more excited to discover more of her 😍😍

[@jefferyedoherty]

@@AlisonReacts It is an emotional ride. Probably my favourite performance of Aurora is "Lucky live at Nidarosdomen" The whole concert is magical.

[@Holgerdansk]

Ha.... you're trapped! Captured by an amazing musician, lyricist and producer named Aurora. You have so much to discover and I am happy to follow you as you do so. You will receive so many suggestions for what to see next that I don't need to come up with some as well. With her live performance, she manages to take you away from the present and into a world where you can become yourself. Aurora's lyrics include domestic violence, open sexuality, climate change, love and whatever else you wanted to hear in them wrapped in a fantastic sound. Videos are pure art and she has the most wonderful fanbase I've seen so far. She has helped many people with her texts and beautiful being. Watch some of Aurora's interviews and documentary and you will understand what I mean. Nice reaction and welcome to the world of Aurora.

[@Holgerdansk]

Ok... I have a suggestion for you that probably won't appear under all the suggestions you receive "Queendom" Try and let yourself be surprised 😉

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

This was shot in the basement of the Ole Bule Theater in Aurora's home town. The backdrops "flys" are re-used from a different play, the silk roses are also re-used. She dyed them black. If you look you will see the turntable she is dancing on she painted to look like the earth, and the clothes are just what she wore in this era. You can see next to the turntable are her shoes. She just came in, took of her shoes and started making one of the best videos ever. Real art does not need a 30 person production team. You will see this simpler production style in most of her videos. Great reaction. Looking forward to more Aurora. +1 sub.

[@tx0h]

if you like one aurora song, you will love them all. and there are plenty. thanks for this fine reaction.

[@johnytwo]

Yes. That pretty much sums up Aurora's masterful work. :)

[@liamstrain]

I'm so glad you enjoyed your first Aurora song - I think you would really enjoy Queendom, Inhale/Exhale, and Running with the Wolves - as starting points. Don't neglect her live performances - many times (almost always) they are at least as strong, if not stronger than the music videos - certainly offering a different view of the song.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Feel that pressure on your ankle? Aurora's grabbed it, down the hole you go!

Finally... more Aurora please.

Hello, friendly neighbour, Finland here! Loved your reaction!

[@joskogeler6421]

"Exhale inhale" seems to be the perfect AURORA follow up for you

[@rosemay75]

Next you must appreciate live productions of Aurora’s. Start with this song if you like. I recommend the HAIK Aurora concert version which is in a forest in Norway where she’s from. She is a spectacle to behold. Most would say she is best live. Enjoy. I’ll stay tuned for sure. Love Aurora. She is soul food.

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

[@kaiiser2190]

Boring ass song... she has so much better songs

[@afrisv]

She grew up playing in n the forest when she was a kid, and her parents rang a bell when they wanted her to come home 😄. There's a nice and very different version performed on National Geographic Earth Day in those same woods. Very occupied with the environment and all kinds of goodness. One of the best songs on her latest album, "Everything Matters", is somewhat about what you mentioned. Noticing all the wonders around us. At least that's what I get out of it. Great artist with a lot of sides to her.

[@adnreasrost9135]

Great Reaction. Another song of AURORA with a strong environmental message is Exhale-Inhale. She did a wonderful live performance for VEVO.

[@Rozz7niner]

I would add her latest "A Soul with no king" to that list :)

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

From USA. Just subscribed. Love Aurora! Quirky, empathic and funny. A quote from her, "You don't have to be a weirdo to be a warrior but you have to be a warrior to be a weirdo". " Warriors and Weirdos" is the term she bestowed upon us. We except it proudly.

[@Roy-mw5js]

Old and she’s my favorite artist today. If you love the planet and are empathic for people you should love Aurora ❤

[@johnytwo]

As most of people recommended, you should watch (or see) her live, both performing and talking. Because she is a really special human. And then, on top of that, she has beautiful voice and masterful music and lyrics. And she is a dancer :) And a painter :D. For a song recommendation, it really does not matter, but Running with the Wolves came to my mind for some reason - music video or any live performance.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Seen her live. She went crazy in that song! Loved it, love her.

[@simonturner138]

You are going to absolutely fall in love with Aurora. Welcome to the warriors and weirdo's

[@Tarkus_]

After seeing your reaction to this, you're in for quite a treat if you stay on an Aurora journey. She's a very special artist and person. I know some of you more established reactors can "forget" about artists they really like, because there is so much out there, but I really hope to see more of Aurora on your channel. I like that you're connected to nature, as Aurora is. Some other really popular songs from Aurora that deal with nature are "Exhale Inhale" (Vevo live) and "Apple Tree" (music video). Oh, and her latest single, "A Soul with No King - Remix" which features actual nature sounds from Aurora's homeland in Norway. And she actually did a concert in a forest (also close to her home) that was freaking cool, as part of the HAIK documentary + concert. Probably the most popular live version of "The Seed" at that one.

[@RunarNyrud]

Your patron has shown you gold! Aurora's tiny body (her words) might only be 27 years old, but her soul is 600 years, her brain highly intelligent, her mind child like and every atom in her body contains music dna. Her studio stuff are fantastic but her live stuff are mindblowing! Check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen concert or Murder song from the Nobel peace Prize concert.

[@lillm6874]

Second this😍😍

[@markoverton2607]

Great reaction. I agree with all of the previous comments and suggestions. Aurora, the artist, does perhaps the best covers of any songs that she does. She makes them all her own so much that you think they are hers. She covers Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, The Beatles, Massive Attack, Boney M, Oasis, Naughty Boy, Imagine Dragons, Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande, and the list goes on. Enjoy the ride, the Warriors and the Weirdos !

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Yes, great reaction to my favorite artist. She is the complete package of unique, authentic and wonderfully weird, the complete name of her fan base is Warriors and Weirdos. She is multi talented lyrical genius with hauntingly beautiful vocals (that was her on the studio version harmonizing with herself). Her live performances are a must, she is a masterful storyteller, she emotes each emotion of her song (her children she calls them). Her songs have meaningful messages and she is a big time nature lover. Her next album coming out in June features the artist "Nature" which means her royalties will be shared with the world conservation organization that gets those royalties, she puts her money where her mouth is. Love her personality, she is truly a caring, quirky human. Any song is wonderful, live is best. What would you like me to recommend, upbeat or melancholy, she has a lot of haunting, beautiful, melancholy songs and other more upbeat, she really is her own genre.

[@joeb4142]

A collab with Dimash might disrupt the space/time continuum.

[@AlisonReacts]

[@mariopardillo8618]

Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 27 years old!). She will often perform her songs quite differently - sometimes with her band, other times stripped down to just her and one instrument, a cappella, with full orchestra, etc. - so it is definitely worth listening to different versions of the same song. Also, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well. A short list of original songs for you to start with: Runaway - Nobel Peace Prize concert and her music video Through the Eyes of a Child - Nidarosdomen concert, my recommendation Live Stripped - VIVO UK Lift It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well Churchyard - Live on KEXP Winter Bird - Nidarosdomen concert and her music video Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1 - Nobel Peace Prize Concert Lucky - Nidarosdomen concert Little Boy in the Grass - Nidarosdomen concert The Seed - Music Video, HAIK Concert The River - Music video, Live in Bergen 2020 Exist For Love - Music video, Daydreamer - Music video She also does some awesome covers: Life on Mars - David Bowie Believer - Imagine Dragons God is a Woman - Ariana Grande Across the Universe - John Lennon Teardrop - Massive Attack Rasputin - Boney M And of course anything from her latest album “The Gods we can Touch” which is pure gold!

[@lillm6874]

I really enjoyed your reaction👍 Aurora has been my favourite artist for almost 9 years, she’s quite unique❤️ This song is very important to her I recommend checking out her live performances with this song at both HAIK and Vevo, the first is more upbeat (the male choir was a surprise) and the Vevo is a stripped down version. Both amazing😍😍 Aurora herself says that a great place to start with her discography is with her breakthrough song “Runaway”, which she wrote when she was 11 years old. If you choose to react to “Runaway” I recommend the fan favourite live at the Nobel peace prize concert 2015 Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴

The backing vocal is Silja Sol, a former member of Aurora's group. You must watch the live version of this song from the HAIK concert from 2019 (filmed in the forest where Aurora played in her childhood). After that, set aside quite a few sessions because Aurora has so much to offer, with her brilliant lyrics, range of material, mesmerising performance skills and quirky personality (which comes across in in between song stage banter and her interviews).

[@davelawrence3410]

Greetings from Atlanta! I am so glad that you found the wonderful and magical Aurora! I just discovered her a year or so ago and am better for it. Aurora been sharing her music for years, so you have many choices for exploring further. A few recommendations are "Through the Eyes of A Child" and "Lucky" from her 'Live at Nidarosdomen' concert, and 'Murder Song' from her Nobel Peace Prize concert. They're incredible.

[@danielknight47]

Nice reaction Aliston. Aurora is a spectacular artist in the true sense of the word. If you're looking for your next Aurora reaction I would suggest her official video of YOUR BLOOD. Like the seed it is better viewed as the official video as it is another song where the video is a part of the art of the song. Keep up the good work.

[@jdb19]

Great reaction. Going down the AURORA rabbit hole is a life changing experience. Please enjoy it. Best to you. (Edit). As others have said, live performances are the absolute best because she becomes her song, both in spirit and physical presence. To begin, pick anything from the Nobel Peace Prize concert, the Nidarosdomen cathedral concert, or the KEXP hostel performances. The warriors and weirdos are waiting for you.

Loved this! The feeling of watching someone react to Aurora for the first time and discover her... I'm so excited to see more of your reactions to her stuff.... you have no idea what's lying ahead of you. Like... in the best way possible. You will probably love her more with every video. Like most of us warriors and weirdos do ;) I know this comment section is already full of suggestions and honestly, you can't go wrong. The only thing I would maybe wanna say, is: even though her videos are great too you will get more of her personality with her live performances :-) Oh and another thing: I strongly advice against the Official Music Video of "Runaway" as the first listen of Runaway. The live performance of Runaway at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert is so much more like her than that video she very obviously had no say in. It's good but it's just not like her ...😅 I don't know why people suggest it. Here's the link just in case: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSaiYqNlKqbmJo

That's so awesome that you have discovered Aurora. Based you reaction, her music and lyrics will be right up your alley. You'll see folks recommend her live music, and it's a good idea, but her studio versions are sometimes the best (as with this one IMHO). Either way, you'll find that much of her music is nature-centric. She reveres nature and constantly showcases her love for it. Just for fun, here are a handful of Aurora songs you might like: Runaway Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2015 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSaiYqNlKqbmJo Through the Eyes of a Child Nidarosdomen Cathedral 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJSqaq2Kr9icqac Lucky Nidarosdomen Cathedral 2017 kzbin.info/www/bejne/d563mqSIZ8SJd9k Queendom Official Video 2018 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYavloubhtCkmpI It Happened Quiet Live at the Current 2019 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4aQf2mCpt-Xf68 Cure for Me Official Video 2021 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWKalZluZrd_b7s The Conflict of the Mind Official Video 2024 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWpamSQoJ1_a9k

Welcome to Arouraland

[@monicavonr9029]

I will never understand people who are stopping the videos they react to for nonsense talk. wait until the end for talk, and experience the music as a whole so it sucks you in to it. The reaction comes trough your facial expression, the feelings that comes through you.

[@AlisonReacts]

If I were to wait until the end is more than likely not be able to upload the video without having copyrighting issues or without any monetisation. It differs person to person and edit to edit but most of the time reactors do need to pause every so often for the video to even be allowed on KZbin. If I waited until the end of each song I’d also lose the thoughts I was having. For this channel people tend to enjoy my descriptiveness or thoughts as they’re expressed. And that’s how I enjoy it too. And considering I edit these back and end up knowing the songs about as well as anyone after, Id say im still absorbing it quite a bit. Thanks for your feedback, but that’s why my channels like this anyway. Some find it nonsense, others don’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@AlisonReacts]

Believe me, I wish I COULD leave the songs longer before pausing - but until I’ve uploaded a few videos with a certain artist, I can’t gauge whether I’ll be able to avoiding pausing their future videos. Like I’ve been able to do for others.
