As I land like a flower on the meadow Love is wild You fell apart Like a stone can be broken into sand A thousand pieces Spread across a crying land And you can't remember that day But you know it happened quiet So quiet Words falling out through the window All that remains is a silent call Is the earth colored red? As I land like a flower on the meadow Love is wild Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh Are our dreams as dead as they seem?

[@NoName-vm1wf]

I discovered Aurora recently and my mind is blown. This is by far the most beautiful, expressive, enchanting, cold-blooded song I've ever heard. It can have so many interpretations but I see it like a song from the perspective of someone that just killed the love of their life because of an unforgivable sin. The time stands still, everything ceases to exist, ominous feathers falling out of the pillow over his hollow lifeless eyes putting an end to all the suffering, all the fighting, all the noise coming out of his mouth as his last words are falling out through the window leaving behind a room full of emptiness. So quiet. What is left of you now? "You fell apart like a stone can be broken into sand" - Your pride, your egocentrism, your narcissism, everything is gone. So full of yourself and now look at you, broken into a thousand pieces covering a crying land that witnessed it all. The meaning of "love is wild" has never been darker. The way she's moving her hands and rolling her eyes when she says the words brings out a cold irony. "Isn't that what you used to tell me? That love is wild? Oh here I am now, feel the wildness, my love!" I could go on like this for hours. She is extraordinary. Created her own genre. Her body and her music are inseparable. WOW! Thank you, Aurora, on behalf of all of us that can't express our emotions so colorful!

[@devilsticksogskate]

More like a suicide? Like she jumped out the window "Is the earth colored red as I land like a flower on the meadow" and "I will return from the shadows And I'll bleed in your bed Turn it red Like the ground outside your window" Gorgeous song anyhow! 🥰

My point is, KZbin God's you have done it again, it may have taken you 5 years to recommend Aurora to me but I'm hooked! Both artists are completely different ends of the spectrum musically. Aurora is mesmerising, she's not singing she's living the songs she sings.

[@zehel368]

That was the most beautiful love song I've ever heard. People talk about about falling in love like it's some explosion of fireworks and you're suppose to feel that "shock" and just know it's happened. Personally, that sounds like infatuation and temporary. I think the best and more real love happens slowly, like a few drops of water turning into a water fall; and you don't even feel the dam breaking until you've looked back and can no longer remember what life was like without that person. Then you realize that you don't want to find out, and you want to spend the rest of your life with them. This song made me feel that.

Aurora is one of the best singers I've ever discovered and her way of expressing how she feels her own songs is just so beautiful. I think she said this song had the meaning each person wanted it to have, but it's such a good interpretation I think everyone will feel like the song was especially made for their own particular experience, or at least that's how I feel when I listen to it.

Wow.. Maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced. Sitting here with my phone... In a completely different world.

[@emmettenglish1537]

This is the most beautiful, most chilling and most haunting performances I've heard in a long time. Honestly Aurora is my favorite singer. This isn't only down to her innate ability to perfectly portray the depth of the lyrics but also because she is a genuinely amazing lyricist and poet.

[@Jeremy-td1jq]

I didn´t know Silja could play guitar. Also singing at the same time in such harmony is absolutely impressive.

[@epilektric]

The audio recording here is great. Cheers to Cameron Wiley for capturing one of the best vocal recordings of Aurora I've heard.

[@LasseJulius]

I listened to it on my tube amp here. Damn, such an sensible sound that is. So great!!

[@JordiFrancis]

Aurora's voice is so incredible. I also want to say huge props to the guitarist and vocalist performing with her. I really wish the current musical climate was more equipped and inclined to provide proper credits for backup performers, rather than push them into the shadows though! I don't see any mention of her name in the video or description. Please feel free to correct me if I've missed it :) I had to root through the comments to find the name 'Silja Sol', which should really be somewhere we can see it easily so that we can find her and appreciate her talents even more! Anyway, I hope I didn't bring any sort of downer to such a beautiful performance. This is one of my favourite songs - one of very few that brought me to tears upon first listen (when the music cuts at the end and the Gregorian Choir fades in... goosebumps all over!)

[@thecurrent]

Thanks for the comment, Jordi! Her name is Silja Sol. Fredrik Vogsborg and Magnus Skylstad also performed with Aurora.

[@JordiFrancis]

@@thecurrent I have to say, I saw that you liked my comment and I literally said to my partner "interesting, they've liked my comment, I wonder if they'll edit the description". I have so much respect for you for that! In music and film and many other creative fields, it's so easy for collaborators to not get the attention and credit they deserve for the work that they do. Thanks so much for this - I don't know the personnel personally (lol) but I'm sure they'd appreciate it too! :)

[@thecurrent]

@@JordiFrancis You are right to ask for more, so we are happy to add the info and celebrate all the musicians who helped make this wonderful video. Thanks for watching and for holding us to a higher standard.

[@PosaHanka54]

Yes, finally! It is so rare to find a video that gives proper credit to back-up musicians even if their contribution is huge.

[@JordiFrancis]

@@thecurrent I wholeheartedly believe that consistent small steps like this across the industry will lead to a future where a higher standard is the norm.

[@VerniMain]

I used to listen to it daily back in 2019, was a very terrible year that I still cannot fully recover from, her music helped me get through it though. I wish that everybody who reads this, never has to go through a rough year.

[@wendyboeree7873]

magic.

[@JonPhD]

I'm glad that Silja Sol is getting recognition for her harmony vocals in these comments. They sound so beautiful together.

[@Lia_0507]

Her singing can cure people's hearts and minds

[@veljkodjukic770]

Aurora what a voice

[@chadmacdonald7702]

I would love to hear the the story of how she wrote this song, and where the inspiration for the lyrics lies. This song is simply hypnotizing...She's a true musician.

[@vero-kd8vg]

She said once before a performance this song was a love story where one lover kills the other

[@mushroomeaj6261]

omg its so good even chad dropped his monster to come give a listen

[@atindrilaroy7238]

A true fairy

[@softuniverse7771]

this song is the second part to Murder Song. where the ghost of the murdered lover comes back to haunt the murderer in their dreams, until their sanity erodes to nothing.... like a stone can be broken into sand

[@Maureen_Schilder]

so many interpretations of this song, so ethereal... I believed the song to be about a man - who feeling 'love' for this girl, forces himself on her - stealing her virginity... (she cries, tears, against her will). Years pass, when she reminds him of his crime, he denies any memory. But she knows 'it happened quiet' ... 'so quiet' (i.e., in secret) - When she addresses his darkness he becomes loud & entitled, she stops him, "don't you speak over my voice!" ... and in the end, affirms she will rise above his shadows in her own light... (Wondering if anyone else heard this? : / very heartbreaking reality for too many).

[@denz7032]

the "don´t you speak over my voice part" is insaaaane

[@denz7032]

Still amazing :)

[@raphaelbevilacquaruiz3000]

Aurora's style is so authentic. Her voice, her hairstyle, her outfit. She's stunning and amazing. Love her.

[@mysterymac38]

I don't know why I missed out on seven years before discovering her. Talent of her caliber is very rare. We may find it once or maybe twice in our lifetimes.

[@skosmo1]

Shes so smooth like a feather. She is an angel. God sent to sing for us. Her voice make me forget everything.

[@Simon-cr8tq]

3:47 That eye roll

[@zawarudozahando7217]

I really love how you can hear every noise her mouth is making, it makes the song that much more intimate and personal

[@grena37]

Oh. My. God. I'm in love

[@nikaMeea]

She has so much succes because her style is like remastered eclesial music, the rhytm is religious and therefore speaks to the soul.

[@alvinteasley2255]

The harmony between these 2 is simply amazing!! even the angels in heaven pause to listen

[@HighGroundoverAnnie]

This specific recording of her is one of the most outstanding performances by a singer I ever discovered. And I love to dig through all kinds of music. It's just crazy how pure and crystal clear her voice is. She hits every note so effortlessly.

[@band1tt]

my soul huuungers for the pure healing magic Aurora and Silja creates 😭

[@petrusstreamrock5315]

On one hand she amaze me, but on the other hand she Terrifies me. Why? Cuz there's something in her song that makes me get the feeling that "If I'm not careful, I'll loose my self". She gives me thrills and chills... Anyone else get that kind of feeling? Or is it just me?

[@mariafarooq6879]

Yeap!

[@yerinjung6913]

I was thinking the exact same thing, her songs are like a siren, have beauty, calms you but when you look carefully you are kind of afraid of it, it's crazy

[@jailaye6929]

Sometimes I have to hold on tight . . . then go to the calm . .

[@thalytaloirinha]

It is your ego disappearing :) Aurora has this effect on me also

[@victormagomet1189]

Yes it is

[@bukowskianchurch8191]

This is one song...while i listen to it and i close my eyes i see mountains, forests and water...i finally feel free from all pain. I could cry.
