[@gizzad]

This might be the greatest performance ever recorded.

[@alanjannone]

I’ve been to at least 300 live music performances by many diverse and very talented musicians. I’ve never been so mesmerized by a singer/performer as Aurora. This KEXP show was my first exposure to her and I was fascinated from the mike check. She is utterly fantastic. So, I concur

[@StevenBlatt]

Aurora... is the music.

[@Maddie_is_a_swiftie]

This and her haik performance

[@laurabootsch]

I totally agree....

[@ali_mj02]

Agree

[@canned_can_chan4590]

Her voice is so stable even when jumping

[@AutumnsMxS]

I know right!!! maybe because she got used to it? I hope I can do that one day as well :D

[@pauloviegas7957]

DAMN that's pure energy... one can almost see the music running through her body!

[@tonivanoortmerssen2655]

Well said.

[@rosemay75]

Her whole being is art!

[@franksaddiction]

@@rosemay75 for real 🤙🏽

[@alicehall6232]

She is music personified

[@semaj_5022]

Never seen this much energy outside of metal, but somehow it's a totally different type of energy? Whatever it is, I love it. This girl is the truth

[@saral_varga]

She: "for sensitive people in the crowd" Fact: I can't watch this without crying.

[@firedyre]

same. everytime end up in tears

[@rukk444]

frrr me too

[@ur.local.astrophile]

OMG SAME. I am so emotional listening to her songs!

[@hannahenzel95]

Aaaah yassss I'm already crying xD SO much emotions

[@jennysanimations4181]

Sameee, seeing her completely give into the music makes me so emotional every time

[@poetpriestessify]

This is what true freedom looks like.

[@yourmissingc0ckring759]

For reall...

[@shinji7058]

This song gets so much more power when you see her dancing... Even though I'm not sure about calling it "dancing"... it is more like a canalized energy act. Great entertainer / communicator.

[@Bladblazers]

Her dancing reminds me of some forms of Qi Gong.

[@SuperZombiepimp]

Shes the most real artest I've seen in years when I listen to this with amc headphones on I lose myself and just start zoning out the girl is a living sea siren

[@lissethaldana3789]

You should listen Agnes obel!! Specially her Dorian live performance! She’s amazing too

[@jeshuarestituyo284]

It's more interesting when you know she IS a professional dancer as well. If I can recall she studied Ballet/jazz.

[@lako8368]

"A canalized energy act" is exactly what dancing already is. Choreographed or "pre-programmed" dancing loses that spark, however.

[@semaj_5022]

Never seen somebody so expressive in my life

[@salmonflavored]

it's really hard to sing along to this in the car. i probably sound like a dying cat

[@crypthor2008]

xD

[@Bradley12]

I sound probably worse, but i don' care :)

[@MrJuanBuzz]

XD same here

[@frogsoda]

She speaks like a mouse. But she sings like a lion.

[@JulijaLi11]

Ahahahahahahahaha

[@vidarmedl]

Her smile and look when she finish the song is everything. She could get a stone falling in love with her....

[@edgepixel8467]

What if she were ugly? You know, non-pretty?

[@edgepixel8467]

@All my demons greeting me as a friend Less people would be fawning over her. “Oh, cool personality. Ain’t it a shame she’s so ugly?”

[@randomdreamer5429]

@@edgepixel8467 honestly Aurora is beautiful, but she has a different kind of beauty, she is not like ppl we see in magazines and all that stuff that doesn't make her "ugly" but, what actually makes people ugly ?

[@walterF205]

@@edgepixel8467 lol You seem a bit complicated and convoluted, you should let the sensations flow, don't think about her in a bizarre and pedantically rational way, insisting on "What if [fill in the blank]". Peace :D

[@edgepixel8467]

@@walterF205 But if you're rational you have to admit that people would react differently if she wasn't cute. She looks cute and childish and people go "aww" every time she does or says something weird.

[@nidomika]

I always lose it on 4:13... so much power and energy

[@Malaima]

How she looks startled at the end, like: how or what has just happened - how was I able to produce all that. like, waking up from a trance. It's too beautiful.

[@alexanderigorsson2354]

She is perhaps the most liberated person I have ever seen. She is so effortless in her movements and emotions that it looks simply fantastic. It's sad to say, but in our world, almost EVERYONE has physical and psychological 'constraints.'

[@kimmykimko]

I see the opposite. The difference is she isn't totally debaucherous. The others show their colors and its evil.

[@LizzieMcDonnell]

Aurora is such a force of nature

[@Malaima]

How does she do to sing such highly (not high notes only, but high-scaled melodies) and not have her voice break nor sound squeaky nor fragile... Ahhh! I love how pristine it is...

[@Malaima]

How does she do to sing up there...

[@brendanm6921]

While dancing like this as well!

[@S.archotic]

For real, I use her songs as singing exercises because I’m a soprano and it works LMAO

[@AutumnsMxS]

@@S.archotic aww that's lovely!

[@nerve60]

Greatest live performance ever filmed! Aurora wanted to be a Molecular Scientist at an early age, this song feels a lot like that. She took a lot of instruments and sounds that at first glance you would say no way this is gonna work. Well, damnit, it worked to perfection!

[@Mandeebah]

The way she portrays movement is absolutely enchanting. She is what humans are meant to be…. Fully connected with Mother Nature and allow that to flow through her in its entirety

[@roderbergis4038]

bs

[@jaclyndesantis6162]

I agree completely. I showed a few of her performances to my father, who is a musician, and he asked me what it is about her that makes me so emotional - her voice? I responded that it is not her voice, it’s that she seems to be living a human experience that is closer to what we are all meant to have- so free. It makes me cry every time I watch her perform.

[@Mandeebah]

@@jaclyndesantis6162 couldn’t have said it better. Especially when introducing people to Aurora for the first time I always tell them to watch her live performances to get the full experience of her artistry.

[@LautaroMarchioliLeonelWM]

4:13 i start to get goosebumps!!! This is brilliant!

I have found an antidote for the poison that I absorb every day of my routine and dreary life in a gloomy gray city. A ray of light in a dark realm.

[@lol0lol0]

this performance hits different

[@davidmoore2262]

Loved the whole performance but from 3:35 onwards the power! It was incredible!!! Love this song.

[@snowhite7310]

It was like she was summoning nature's power slowly than exploding 😍 so amazing

[@duruiz]

Her smile, smiling with the eyes... that's sooo beautiful.

[@t.v6876]

GURL THE CHANTING THE GITUIR THE DANCING PERFECTION

[@leofreitas129]

It’s so strange, how can I love so much a person that I never saw personally, The way that she sing and dance with the music is so intense, so magic. I dream almost everyday about the day I met her, I know that I have no chance but I cannot get away with the powerful feeling.

[@stephenbarlow2493]

Simply the greatest live performance, I have ever seen.

[@books631]

She’s channeling all the energy and feelings that music gives her. So incredible and breathtaking to watch

[@ketchup_mouthwash]

Is it just me or does this song make me feel like I'm on running on a mountain with nebulas in the sky? Because, of the space vibe this song has?

[@groovyhannah8517]

totally!!

[@randomdreamer5429]

"words remain, unspoken" man, i can relate *so much* to this line. as a pretty shy person, i am kind of uncomfortable in the conversations where you have to come with a sentence fast, because it's such a mess in my head lmao. there are so many ideas, so many ways to make my sentences, so many things i wanna say, so many emotions i want to express that i can't put the finger on one right thing to tell, and most of the times i don't exactly say what i think, because what i think is so much more complex ! so yeah, words remain in my head, unspoken

[@levantwhitman]

A little dumb, but I think this video would help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnm1m3yvo56FpLs It's in spanish but has captions

[@detlef741]

I understand. Having the feeling of being out of place in a way. But you can take that complexity and try and let it out in a different way. There is much more than words. I use a piano to clear my head with the emotions and thoughts i cant express verbally. Also breathing excersises and meditation help to bring structure to this complexity. What starts with a endless maze of thoughts and emotions turns into a beautifull geometric field of creativity :) Hope this helps you in a way or maybe gives you a different perspective on things :) much love and peace. D.

[@randomdreamer5429]

@@detlef741 thanks ! i personnaly use writing. i write lyrics a lot because it makes me be able to translate pictures, feelings, memories and sensations into words, and it's much easier when i have the time to think about what i wanna say, what i need to say. and when i write lyrics, there's no one here to stop me when i'm talking or no listen to me, so i can speak for myself without having to worry about anyone calling out stuff i say wrong or something. it makes me feel free to speak, and it clears my head a little :D
