AURORA - Black Water Lilies | SXSW 2016

[@maddogholmes7268]

I like the part around 1:38, a little bird tweets to Aurora and her band, Aurora notices, and looks up with a smile. Even the creatures of the earth are moved by her magic.

[@MoonyCookie]

Mad Dog Holmes AHHH YASSS!! LOL, so cuteee

[@del4604]

1:33 lol

[@guitaria6]

“creatures” they’re animals

[@guitaria6]

i think she was smiling at magnus haha

[@unlimitedmovies123]

@@guitaria6 she wasn’t she heard the bird tweet and you can clearly see she reacted to it.

[@малышка-г7ш]

I love how much she moves during this because that just shows how into the music she gets and I just think it's amazing

[@orianaybarra4841]

it's pure magic how you can almost literally see the world she's singing about in front of you as she sings

[@gdbssa]

Maybe my favourite comment ever, so apt

[@d3rossi]

Thought I was insane 😅 I visualize her music. So poetic. Its ridiculous. No Artist has ever made me do that.

[@halerelic5169]

The exact definition of Olorin. She has the power of a maia

[@samuelsanchezsahagun1398]

She's one of the most beutiful composers than i have heard, I LOVE YOU AURORA

[@mouna3242]

I like this rendition of the song.

[@YOassron]

I do too but the Honda Stage one is so amazing.. check it out, your ears will enjoy much.

[@saraleon6404]

Song?

[@vanessar3017]

1:33 when she heard the birds chirping : ,)

[@rsrichyify]

they were cheering her on :)

[@MoonyCookie]

Mundane Mess yassss

[@TheBobmarley113]

100%...she puts in everything...each performance

[@angivee9381]

this is such an underrated song by her. the fact that she wrote right after dreaming it is amazing

[@nneridaa]

How cute is her outfit

[@rogelioramirez8712]

3:24 omfg she's an angel

[@deevinay]

I just love the way she sings the word ‘under water’ it gives me chills every time.

[@jailaye6929]

That note with slide up at 3:20 was as pure and perfect as it gets .!.!. gotta go. Have to, need to listen to it another 5-6x

[@waltergabrielpolettolima]

Note B5

[@striderbowman9628]

Oh... my... god...., what an amazing version of this song!

[@Markus-GuerillaGames]

She is a singer and a magician creating pictures of the words she sings and takes you to a wonderland of peace

[@halerelic5169]

Look up the definition of Gandalf's true name - Olorin

[@aasphaug]

Cutest of all time

[@Roy-mw5js]

I love Aurora ❤

[@tamaki6388]

I am too❤

[@niveshhnk9686]

Same ❤

[@xxOWLYVIxx]

Aurora is loooove

[@rsxsabotage]

He vocals with her accent is absolutely perfect and beautiful

[@gustavonogueira6293]

It's 2018 and I still come back here frequently to listen that pure and high notes at 3:04 💜

[@張育瑄-g9p]

She has the power of healing.

[@blueselkies4023]

Exactly. btw I love your profile pictures. I'm both "Warrior and weirdos" And innercircle. 💙💙💙

[@kentneumann5209]

Its soooo beautiful. It moves me to tears. Not sad sobbing tears. Just a few leakers. Just so purely joyous musically.

[@PreetDevi]

[@shawnc666]

Sheesh, I've only come into Aurora's music about 9 months ago. There are some songs and performances where I know every word and every movement she makes......this isn't one of them.....til now...... How amazing is this song and this young Fairy? I'm totally enthralled... Now off to watch some other versions of this song. One thing I love about Aurora *that I usually don't in the hundreds of other bands I like* is that each live performance is different from the other, even though it's the same song..... I'm so happy I found her.... Or... Perhaps... She found Me :)

[@maddogholmes7268]

I love this song, for some reason it has become one of my favorites. I love the Honda Stage live version, as well as the studio version. I just had to comment on this, she just has a way of performing anywhere, under any circumstance and move my heart-- my god, is it still beating.........? I think I'm in heavens ocean reaching for those lilies, I hope I find Aurora somewhere! By the way, nice job Magnus and Omartin you are very special musicians, you took this moment and turned it into a special memory trapped in time.

[@dupiti1033]

I like the Honda Stage version better than this and the original

[@imarylie]

Odd Martin ;)

[@AndreBonetti]

OMG! How beautiful. I've heard over 10 times.

[@licasestivis]

I heard over 30 times.

[@maruvail]

This was the video that I discovered Aurora. Years later it's been a magical journey. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this gem

[@guitaria6]

she gives me hope

[@opedromagico]

“Ja comecei a grava” - logo no começo kkkkk brasil everywhere

[@anacarolineferreira277]

Pedro Amaral nunca tinha percebido isso kkkkkk

[@kayurimusic]

Mas ele não falou isso, ele falou em em inglês

[@joels7461]

me encanta todo de ti AURORA 😗😙😚😌

[@tunabaitfishy]

she makes me feel really really good

[@melihkep9385]

When I am on a boat I float I know I can never drown I see underwater land The wind, the wind is the only sound Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Black water lilies Arms are reaching for My arms I can see no more We dance as we float around We head towards the ocean floor Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above Take your hand and I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies In the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies A thousand black water lilies I am warm Crawling out I am reborn Water lilies Water lilies Water lilies Water lilies

[@cgboy2003]

It's rare to have Black Water Lilies live recorded professionally, especially back in early 2016, and its setting and trio arrangement are also one of a kind! It was said that she did 9 concerts there, but fortunately we have this, thx a lot!

[@abbyturpinlol]

ok but the note at 1:45 is iconic.

[@agirlbelngingtthewild9625]

This takes me back 😭😭 youtube is kind of like a time machine. Maybe i can pretend it was that time right now... Maybe I'll believe.

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

This is my favorite version of this song

[@johnnymmm1301]

if you tell me you don't believe in magic when you listen to her, i don't trust you

[@hemlockVape]

She claims to be human, but I think she sings the magic that we all *are*.

[@groovyhannah8517]

3:02 💖💖💖 my ears have been blessed

[@niveshhnk9686]

Thank you so much Aurora for this beautiful song, you are the best ❤❤❤

[@antonieta2090]

I'm on a boat I float - I know I can never drown I see underwater now The wind is the only sound Take your hand when I go under I'm under and above Take your hand when I go under I'm under and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies Black water lilies Arms are reaching forwards My arms - I can see no more We dance as we float around We head towards the ocean floor Take your hand when I go under I'm over and above Take your hand when I go under I'm over and above On the river I'm floating in Underwater I'm diving into the ocean A thousand black water lilies I am floating down I can recall

What guitar tuning does O Martin use here,... anyone know?

[@MoonyCookie]

AksWarrior sadly no lol

[@danielcooper3143]

EADGB and D sharp seems to work. I was just working on this today, two years after you posted your question.

[@SyncopatedProgress]

A lesson for a similar version can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHjIamyHhLqrrrc And an acoustic karaoke version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJm8moiLpcyVitU

[@badtux]

Q: What kind of maniac sings the title of the song at the top of her range, then an octave lower, then *two* octaves lower, just to punctuate the ending of the song? I mean, plenty of artists will repeat a line a couple of notes down for emphasis, but two *octaves* down?! A: AURORA.

[@gdbssa]

The song bird of her generation, pun fully intended
