Aurora - A Different Kind of Human (Live NRK P3 Radio Festival) | REACTION | First Time Hearing

[@zuriekktsugrundist9147]

I completely agree! Aurora is my favorite artist for the fact that she seems to know the basic truths of existence and emotion. Not only that, but having the ability to so accurately capture that into such perfect words. I love your videos! Is refreshing to see someone who is willing to be vulnerable and share their emotions! I wish you well and will continue watching your videos!! ❤

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you so much. It's hard to be vulnerable but I feel like it's a part of the process of discovering new music since it evokes such emotion in me. I would be doing myself and my viewers a disservice if I had walls up. Thank you again.

[@gratefulpitnicker]

🧚 Aurora 🧚 has that effect on people who FEEL 🙂 Silja Sol (the female guitarist/backup singer) lost her mother shortly before this video. Watching her and 🧚 Aurora 🧚 nearly cry during this performance is heartbreaking 💔

[@vincentmb238]

I've also thought, for a long time now, that Aura is crying here. In her wet eyes, in the way she takes a breath. It's so touching and moving. And heartbreaking. And then the smile that returns, like a farewell she'd say, promising this now detached soul to be carried off to a better world. And being happy for her. Voilà, I'm crying again. For this mother I don't know, for Silja, and for the whole band for their loss. I truly believe this is one of the most moving videos of her I've ever seen.

[@gratefulpitnicker]

@@vincentmb238 I agree, the darkness touched her but then her light shined her way through it 😍 we are so fortunate she’s here for us at this time

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

The reason I'm watching this is because I had the same reaction as you and got obsessed with figuring out what was going on and if other people reacted similarily. So I started watching reaction videos. Turns out basically everyone thinks shes really good, but a subset of those people are like you and me in that it's life changingly powerful. Everything you say is familiar. Some people are just tuned to the same frequencies or something like that. Aurora is like she was born with the instruction manual for how to human included. You're a Warrior now, congrats! It's a club of the most incredible human beings I've ever met. Not only did Aurora's music help heal me at a critical time, but the family I gained throught the community has helped even more. The sum of it all means my life is now the polar opposite of what it used to be

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you so much. I know she is no exception to the rule of music being subjective. It's ok if others do not care for her music. That's more of her for us! And thank you for the warm welcome to the Warriors and Weirdos. It's truly an honor to be a part of it. I'm starting not to be able to imagine life without having discovered this incredible human being.

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

@@auroraswarriorsnorway Love you too!!! 🙂♥♥♥♥

[@rogue1211]

I completely agree 😊

[@jwhittington78]

Your words are what I (and many others) feel as well. There's an element to it that's impossible to describe...but you do a pretty good job of it! It's so much more than her obviously beautiful voice...there are a thousand deeper layers that make me get emotional almost the instant I hear her sing.

[@jwhittington78]

Also...I think you should react to her entire KEXP performance. It'll be a little longer...but it's a fun one and you get to see her personality a little too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpC7mKirrbGiZ5I

[@timgrodesky4694]

Aurora was interviewed prior to this performance and explained how she was asked to perform this song for a dying girl. It must weigh heavy on her, being as sensitive as she is, to have this in the back of her mind and demonstrates her strength. her empathy and her humanity. If you want to get to understand Aurora more I would recommend watching the Haik documentary either as a reaction or privately. Keep up the beautiful reactions!!

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

Welp. I instantly knew you would be bawling so I was like 'aww'. This song is one of the most emotional. lol

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

well it looks like i predicted wrongly. I was actually thinking this was another song. She's got so many of them i get them confused.

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

I was thinking this song was 'infections of a different kind' i think....

[@NarinsNewAge-zz2hf]

i have no clue why i was thinking that. haha

[@juggletom]

Thank you so much for doing this. Every evening I go to youtube and watch some AURORA , otherwise my day dosen´t feel complete. Your reactions to her are my favorites. Please don´t stop. Aurora with an orchestra is worth wathing too. She played some of her songs with the bergen Orchestra, It is realy special "soulless creature" is my favorite.

[@sapphosmuse1243]

I recommended that one too ❤

[@petermalin2675]

I know what you mean, I feel the same way. I cannot verbalize it well, but I know what she makes feel. She is either the most special human or she is from another realm.

[@mathildeeide8550]

I don’t know how you connect with Amakening, reconnecting with ones soul and source. But Aurora started that journey for me many years ago. It felt like I had to release a ton of tears, like she was holding my heart and I had been longing for that kind of ..love… I guess for what felt like forever. She’s a spiritual experience.❤️

[@Tarkus_]

I really love this song and performance. As much as you love Aurora now, you're going to love her even more when you dive into some of her documentaries and interviews. The vibe you get while watching her perform is legit.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I really understand how you feel, very like me. The difference is I have met her, 2 years ago, 10 minutes of 1 to 1 time. What struck me? First, she is, shall we say, not very tall. Next, she is an observer, she REALLY looks at things and when you speak she shows her full attention (most of us don't). Finally, what an intellect and scope of knowledge. Roll on Friday, I'm seeing her in concert again.

[@manictroy]

you should watch the whole concert at nidarosdomen! totally angelic performance 🌞

[@Rackelhane]

Yes! This is Aurora. She gives you what you need...and much moore.❤

[@davidplanet3919]

The world spins and MommaOG is falling fast. Hold on tight now.

[@robin-30]

I completely agree with you and I know there are many that she touches in the same way. Your facial expressions says it all. She shines so brightly

[@flomalheur7467]

It's hard not to cry at songs by Aurora because she speaks so beautifully from your soul.

[@jorgecolon2014]

There's another version of this song that, to me, is the most powerful and emotional version she did. You must see it! She sang this live in an empty theater to a mannequin at the SOMEWHERE ELSE FESTIVAL which was for TV audiences and I think it might have been during the pandemic. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it.

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

I understand your difficulty pinning her down. She gives off an aura completely different than anyone I've seen in my 79 yrs. I've seen her live and her interaction with her audience between songs are great. She's quirky and funny and just makes you want to give her a hug.

[@Geralt26]

I understand what you said that you feel her music and you don't see her as celebrity. I had the same feelings when discovered her. I also believe her and her emotions when she sing (not sure how to said it but you feel it is authentic).

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Yes, most definitely. She's extremely authentic! And it's not just something I get from watching... I can feel it inside my soul.

[@kevintinglof1934]

She has gone through lots of grief in her young life. She rarely speaks about it in plain words. But you can feel the total connection she has with her music. If I remember correctly I think this song was a response to the statement "why do the good ones die young". She wanted some escape from the grim reality and made this song. That some type of being comes to ask the purest of us "a different kind of human -pure human" , to leave this world before their hearts and souls get corrupt by all the evil on this planet.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

We all feel it. That's what makes Aurora so magical. She draws us in, and makes us feel loved and seen. She seems so comfortable in her humanity that it's inspiring.

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Lovely reaction to this beautiful song. I get you, I have said that, it's weird, I know, but, I have said I love her like family, even though I have never met her and never will, she is a huge part of my daily life. I have not been enthused with the music industry for a couple of decades, frankly, they can have all the popular mainstream artists, just leave Aurora creating her magical music and will be a happy camper.

[@leavemealoneimjustfreespirted]

We are so much more than what most could ever even imagine. Of course, I am in complete understanding of what you are feeling (no word's necessary). There are so many of hers where this feeling will just keep returning again and again. ✨️ It's an energy frequency thang! 😉

[@maxsteiner1964]

I'm over sixty years old. I'v been following Aurora from the very start. From the first time she stood on a stage, plucking her skirt and looked like a scared bird, to the powerhouse she is now. As a friend of an old friend of her I know things, things that I will not share, but I will say that she has experienced losses that are hard to recover from. But Aurora did not only recovered. She became this truly nature force of acceptance and grace and beauty and love. I love The Beatles. I love Pink Floyd. I love David Bowie. I love Ozzy Osbourne. Paul Simon and Kate Bush. Bjork. I could go on and on about the many super talented artist that exist or have existed but I will stop here. All I want to say is that I think that Aurora is special. Once in a millennia perhaps. Certainly once in a century. I for one is happy that my old bones was around to witness this true force of nature that is Aurora. Love from Norway Mom.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you for saying all of that. I completely understand this fully and agree.

[@rosemay75]

Aurora is a homecoming! Soul nourishing. I have experienced a lot of what you have felt. ❤

[@AtmosphericSoundArt]

Aurora was once asked what makes her different from other people. She said the difference to other people is that she doesn't care what other people think about her. Aurora is a free spirit and a very intelligent woman, she does her thing and she draws you into her world.

[@celinel9750]

They is many entreview she did, look at the longuest one and watch it, just for you, you'll find more about who she is and how deep, wise, funy, ampath, bubbly she is 😀

[@steinmortensandbech8756]

❤ Beautiful and moving reaction, as always! I'm with you on this; 100% ❤

[@thehonestcritic6577]

Many people imagine that she has terrible childhood when she had a very happy childhood raised in the forests and fjords of Norway . Many of her older songs were inspired by the things she had read in newspapers etc , ie Murder song , about a man who killed his terminally ill wife , another about a old woman who went out in the night looking for men and chopped up their bodies and hid them under her bed , Aurora has quite the imagination. Her first hit song was Runaway , she composed it when she was 11. If you want to delve further into Aurora , I suggest you watch a couple of documentaries ie Haik or Once Aurora , these are two of the longer video's also if your looking for a whole concert or even just single songs then try Aurora at Niderosdomen a beautiful Cathedral in northern Norway.

[@taccamine8312]

Yes. Her way to regenerate in solitude with nature as a child has shaped her much . I believe that is why she may appears as a kind of wooden fairy to us. Runaway was written on a day remembering the sudden death of a dear family friend. Her Godfather. "I saw a face in the sand". It was how she dealt with the grief of letting go of her childhood and growing up. The nature was always there for her. It applies to us all, and she manages to depict and describe it for us.

[@Roy-mw5js]

Aurora makes me cry also😊😢

[@dlbwoodbury]

She is a healer.

[@lillm6874]

Great reaction to this beautiful song and performance ❤️ This performance was especially sad because her backup vocalist Silja Sol had just lost her mom🥺 In this song Aurora uses her own made up emotional language. In an interview with Bandwagon, she said the reason behind the song: "I really wanted to make a song to help people cope with death and to cope with losing people they love. That's why I wrote this song. I think it was my mum, who said to me when I was young, that it's always the good people that die and that the best people were just too good for the world. People commit suicide, which is a horrible, sad thing, but it happens everyday. It's almost like the world was too cruel for them and they were too good for this world. That's why I wrote this song 'A Different Kind of Human', which is about these creatures that come to Earth to a dying human. And they say, Don't be scared, we're going to take care of you. You'll be safe and we'll take you to this new home where you’ll be with people as kind as yourself. You'll be happier at this safe place. I was hoping it could help people who have lost someone and convey that they're in a safe place." Love those dogs, are they yours?❤️

[@lillm6874]

@john-toregundersen2655 💙🥰

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you for taking the time to share that. Yes, I recently lost my dad in March and it made me think of him. It also made me reflect upon my own death, whenever that time should come. That can be difficult to think about for me but this song made it not quite as difficult to think about. If that makes sense at all. Yes those are my babies. Huckleberry and Rio, brother and sister. 💜 They do amazing things for me as well and I love to share them with whoever is open to them.

[@lillm6874]

@@TheRealMommaOG I’m sorry to hear about your dad❤️ I love animals and especially dogs, we’ve had dogs for over 31 years now, sometimes two, three and even four (in our bed lol), but now we have one because we lost our dear Balder (English Staffordshire bull terrier) in March🥺❤️ Now we have Bamse (nickname for bear), a German hunting terrier, he is a little but tough and crazy dog lol💙

[@TheRealMommaOG]

@@lillm6874 Thank you, I appreciate that. Sorry to hear about your loss of Balder. I lost my beloved 19 year old kitty, Buddy on May 7... the day after my dad's birthday. Losing fur/feathered babies can be extremely tough as well. I just got back from seeing my mom and step dad, who are both 78 years old... so that was very bittersweet... but thankfully, I still have them, my partner of 10 years, Mike, my amazing daughter, Mike's daughters, grandchildren and all of my fur and feathered babies to love on so I can't complain too much. I would love to see photos of your Bamse if there is one posted somewhere publicly? I would have 20 dogs if I could but I can't... so I love seeing other people's babies and watching videos. Animal videos are also a go to for me when I need a little pick me up. 😅

[@lillm6874]

@@TheRealMommaOG Family is great, but we don’t have kids, not because we don’t want to. So my dogs have been like my kids, so it’s like losing a family member❤️ I can post a video of Bamse on my YT channel👍 He’s watching a dog show on tv lol, he loves that😅❤️

[@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.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Yes! What an amazing way to describe it. I say it's like being able to have a dream and control that dream while I'm listening.

[@LeNaInLoVe]

Dear MommaOG, I totally understand your reaction. Plz read my comment on QueenDom❣️ I wanna share my reaction to this song: First time I heard this song, it was a fanMade animation here on yt, It brought me right back to my childhood. I was laying on the ice covered lake below our house (as I often did) Watching the stars and the Auroras. Wishing for my tribe to come and take me home, or at least visit. (I felt at "comfertable" w my parents-sort of - but not my sibllings) Again.. this is healing. If you get reactions, allow yourself to losten over an over till emotions have cleared out...😉🥰🤗

[@tx0h]

thanks for sharing your thoughts. there is an ending part to this song called 'mothership'. it could be helpful for get the songs meaning. it's short and closes the album 'a different kind of human' perfectly. let me suggest you a song you might find at least interesting. afaik, there is only the studio version. for me, the song is a bit of an prototypical aurora song, it's titled 'wisdom cries'. don't miss it, even if others would never suggest this song.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

Thank you... I have added it to my list and definitely want to hear it.

There’s another delightful live performance of this, forget the name of the festival, but it’s beautiful. The album version is fantastic, must hear, and recommend play it back to back without pause followed by Mothership. But then there’s this video, one of a series of informal live broadcasts she made from her apartment in Bergen during isolation of the pandemic, she sings in it, but it’s worthwhile from start to finishing hearing her speak, her thoughts, and personality; for your joy (just watch, for yourself, not asking you react). kzbin.infoK2zLEGJLEFw

If you want to understand what she has been through I suggest you listen to "The Little Boy in The Grass" (Mahogany Session) and then read the comments. Like all of her songs, it is quite beautiful, but it is also incredibly painful to listen to.

[@vincentmb238]

She does have a way of combining strangeness and beauty. I mean strangeness not in the sense of off putting or weird. It's more like something I've not seen before, not habitual, not clichéd.
