AURORA - Murder Song (1,2,3,4,5) | Music Video Reaction

[@bobm3434]

Look up..Murder song piano version. It is absolutely amazing.

[@jorgeyama9170]

I love so much this song, the Studio Version is also amazing ❤❤❤

[@jamierobson8825]

Agreed - gorgeous video. Her vocal dynamics are spectacular & I love, love her dancing/movements - so evocative. ❤ Thanks - I will have to binge all your Aurora reactions now! 😂

[@ashlenamusic]

Please do!!

[@mldkenny]

Simply Divine.

[@Khukhri682]

Again ❤ your reactions and I’m sure you’ll enjoy the live performance of this song at The Nobel Peace Prize Concert ❤

[@Mischnikvideos]

To understand why Aurora sings the way she sings, you have to hear a folk song of hers: Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live) The song was written for the Netlix series Vikings.

[@joelestardo434]

When exploring Aurora's live performances don't miss the HAIK documentary and in particular her performing Warrior.

[@Casin]

The Seed is my favourite music video of hers. The visuals fit so perfectly with the message of the song, looking forward to when you get to it!

[@ashlenamusic]

I watched it already haha it’s up on my channel! It was the first video I watched I just forgot 😂

[@osuunaftmath]

I would love to see your reaction to a Collab Aurora has done, "Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live)" after you are done with the music videos. A beautiful Norwegian song.(CC/Subs are available on the Video)

[@christian53050]

The guitar sound is so warm and present...

[@atj3783]

Winter Bird also has a behind the scene video. I don't have a link to it but maybe someone else has.

[@ashlenamusic]

I’ll definitely watch the behind the scenes on my own time after watching the music video

[@Casin]

For Daydreamer, Aurora’s official channel only put out a sort of lyric video with some visuals and never released the full music video that was shot. I think the video did get leaked though (or maybe someone edited together leaked clips) so you can find the leaked music video on youtube. I’ll add a trigger warning that the leaked video has lots of vomiting in it… (The official one on Aurora’s channel does not).

[@johnnyshih498]

The studio version of this song was the first song I ever heard of hers, it played during a very sad scene in the Flash tv show. Winter Bird and The River are fantastic music videos. I think you already did The Seed though. Were you planning on doing music videos of songs she collab’ed or were featured in? Off the top of my head I can think of Storm, To be Loved, Paramour, Eve of Destruction, Alone in the Night, and Butterflies. Of those Storm is my fave, the MV is absolute beauty.

[@ashlenamusic]

I love hearing how people first heard of her

[@ekaril]

Omg yes Winter Bird next week! Can't wait! Winter Bird is my first Aurora song so i have a lot of feelings towards it. Will save them for the video. Also Winter Bird, Queendom and The River all in a day? Wow. You are gonna enjoy mext week. Winter Bird as I mentioned before has some exquisite Aurora dancing. The River has an amazing narrative and Queendom is just so fun. I am so excited for your reaction!

[@gliebzeit]

I really wish that Ashlena would live-stream her reaction to the music video of 'Queendom'. Let's get a chant for this going! 😄

[@ashlenamusic]

I can probably make that happen 🤔

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

It is just beautiful. I like the butterflies They are such a good symbol for metamorphosis. Changing from one life into another. Brilliant...

[@ashlenamusic]

I totally agree!

[@CherryMxTx]

1:35 For the Daydreamer music video, the one uploaded on her official channel is actually heavily cut because of a lets say "very Aurora esque scene" involving bugs. So i recommend you search for the original uncut version as its far more visually striking and interesting to hear your thoughts on! It has been uploaded on KZbin! Of course this is simply a suggestion ❤ Looking forward to more aurora!

[@afrisv]

That first version of "Daydreamer" is really something. I like it a lot. I've seen the theories about it possibly alienating some of her audience, and I can see that point as well. She appears to have a lot of creative control, but I guess there are limits 😄. Still cool it's available on YT.

[@ashlenamusic]

Thanks for the tip!

[@jdb19]

@@ashlenamusic I believe it's listed as Daydreamer (rare footage).

Wow, this is so freaking good.......

[@knutbrgund4665]

She know what she`s doing 🙂 NO artist in the world can compare to AURORA (my opinion) she`s a unicorn

[@ashlenamusic]

Truth

[@MarionJInce]

The better version of Murder song is from the Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2015.

[@brendapace3541]

I enjoyed so much your reactions. Please don't forget her VEVO videos: A POTION FOR LOVE, THE WOMAN I AM, INHALE EXHALE and HEATHENS ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Ahhh I will do vevo videos soon!

[@johndennison3140]

Firstly I absolutely love Aurora I have don now for 7 years she is and always will be my favourite artist ever,but For me and it’s only my opinion about this particular video but its the only song of hers that for me doesn’t work as a video simply because of the content and the meaning behind the song but mostly because of the way she performs it live.I’ve seen her perform this live 3 times and each time it was completely different because maybe of the way she may of been feeling emotionally different that particular day,it’s just for me it doesn’t have the same emotional impact of her live performance of the song.now you may think differently and may love it and have a completely different view to me and that’s fine also for we all love our journey with Aurora,stay safe warriors ❤️

[@ashlenamusic]

I totally understand what you mean. Songs and artists grow too so it makes sense how different it can sound now

[@Tarkus_]

Is this your first time hearing the acoustic version? I think it's so much better than the regular album version. And apparently so does she, considering that's the one that got the music video. And she only does the acoustic version live, since early in her career. I guess the Nidarosdomen version, which you obviously did hear, is basically the acoustic version, only with lots of strings. Usually, it's just her and a guitarist, though. All three videos scheduled next week are excellent. I'm most looking forward to you reacting to "The River" (my favorite), "Exist for Love" and "Cure for Me." Can't wait to see your reaction for all three. But there are other great ones to look forward to, also. Take care. 🤟

[@lillm6874]

She has done the original live several times + she’s done a mix of the two as well😉🥰

[@ashlenamusic]

I’ve only heard this version, the album version which I believe is the exact same and her performance at Nidarosdomen

[@lillm6874]

@@ashlenamusic The album version is much more upbeat, but as a bonus track she added the acoustic version (which is the one from the mv), and I’m pretty sure you stopped before you came to the acoustic version when you reacted to the album (I may remember wrong, my memory isn’t always good lol)🥰

[@thefogfriendlyoldguy1627]

So, as it happens, not only are my naughter and I going to The Warning in TO on the 13th, but last September she and I saw AURORA live at HISTORY on Queen Street. That's a small venue out in The Beaches. Turns out, while we were waiting in line (for several hours!), I found out that it was her first ever live concert. What a great concert that was for her first time. AURORA is just spellbinding live and in person. That means The Warning concert coming up in a couple of Sundays will be her second one and I expect it will be truly epic.

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s insane!

[@Geralt26]

Amazing version of the song. This version is more or less similar to live version from Nobel Prize Concert (this one on concert is even better but comparable). It is also the version of the song I like the most although this variant in Nidarosdomen is also great and I put between them almost "=". I am not a big fan of album version which is also very good but worse then these 2 versions in my personal opinion (because of different arrangement) :). Also her expressiveness in this song is incredible:) (especially in Nobel but also in this one).

[@Josian-ps7fb]

"Need a rose domain" sounds good enough for me, at least to my "mediterranean ear"...🙂 This MV is perfect for me, we don't need anything else for this song. Thanks for the nice reaction.🙂👍

[@afrisv]

Cool😊. I watched a lot of her live performances before listening to her albums, so this is more or less the version I heard first. Quite similar one performed at the Nobel Peace Price. I like the album version, but this is just a totally different song. Darker/moodier with just her and Odd Martin on guitar/harmonies.

[@ridgemanron]

When Odin, The Viking God up in Valhalla, decided to gift us Earthlings, he sent a most unique singer to the fullest end of one musical spectrum, that being Aurora, and then sent another to the furthest opposite end of the spectrum and that was Angelina Jordan. Maybe one day they will both appear in a concert dedicated to Norwegian singers. You'd be hard pressed to find two others to match them, for both are so uniquely special in their own ways.

[@troedelgerry]

Hi again for the second time today, Asjlena ! First of all let me thank you so much for apprecoialing the simplicity of this music video. Izt doesn't need mich to show here, except Aurora's facial expression and her expressive movements... they really speal for themselves and ofter say more than a thousand words. The other love version of this song that you should definitely react to, is the version from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2015. It's pretty mich the same version like this album version here, but in my opinion a lot better, especially her facial expression, which is beyond impressive! Also her duet partner woth the acoustic guitar is doing a really impressive job. I am sure a lot of other people already wrote the same in the comments already, so please go shead and react to this wonderful live version. Now on to the last of today's three Aurora reaction videos ! Best wishes from Germany : Gerry

[@gliebzeit]

I really wish that Ashlena would live-stream her reaction to the music video of 'Queendom'. Let's get a chant for this going! 😄

Thanks for reacting to my favourite artist, AURORA❤ Be sure to not over doing it, hope you are enjoying making these videos and make sure get enough rest, Ashlena. You're the best!!🎉

[@ashlenamusic]

More to come! And I don’t think I’ll ever tire of Aurora ♥️

[@nobodi817]

This is a piece of art.

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Most of her MV are just her, small percentage have others in them, she is very simplistic in her vision for the MV's.. Of course, there are a few exceptions to the rule, Queendom, Apple Tree and Animal to name a few. Okay, maybe it's about half because also Cure for Me, Temporary High and Giving into the Love have others in them. Evidently I don't know nothing, lol... They are all good, but I kinda prefer the ones with just her... thanks Ashlena😍

So cute how reaction is called Murder Song 1,2,3,4,5 to confuse her Warriors. But still they come. Having fun Ashlena?

[@ashlenamusic]

Always

[@JohnHF1957]

I think the video for "Giving In To The Love" is one of her best but then they all are creatively excellent. A suggestion for you and a glimpse of a different side of Aurora. This is her US television debut on the Jimmy Fallon show with the dancing version of "Conqueror", it is an absolute hoot, (kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6ixoIt8nMxrotE). I hope you can find the time to watch and enjoy it.

[@Yendar2]

Here are some carefully chosen recommendations of Aurora live videos, all fascinating and beautiful: For these two performances get some tissues ready. "Little Boy In The Grass" at Mahogany Session "A Different Kind of Human" at Somewhere Else Festival At first I did not like the following song. This video helped me a lot to understand it, now it is one of my favorites: "Exhale Inhale" live at Vevo After this darkness some wonderful light: "Heathens" live at Vevo Cannot get enough of these: "Blackwater Lillies" at Honda Stage "I went too far" at Honda Stage And finally "Forgotten Love" at KEXP 2018 Parts of this song include Auroras self-made language. Include the 20 seconds before the song, to experience one iconic Aurora moment. 💚

[@tx0h]

hello @ashlena, i guess ?hans? meant potion of love and exists for love. but anyway: i like any of your aurora reactions. if you do something longer of aurora, i suggest the 'once aurora' documentary + the discussion with her about the documentary. the two alternate versions for animal and daydreamer. i will try to put the links to the videos below. especially daydreamer is very different and you really will recognize the difference. the difference of the animals video is more subtle. i really look forward for daydreamers.

[@tx0h]

even for daydreamer there are different alternate versions, but i guess, i linked the most popular. animals (early version) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnTGnomVmsuHiKs and daydreamer (alternate version) kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Kphad_lK2cfMU

@@ashlenamusic oh, does that mean, you don't react to her mini series of home broadcast sessions? there are about 25 minutes long. you can find them on her channel (official) or search for "live with aurora:" (with quotation marks). this series is remarkable.

I’ll look into it!

[@Kimberlyannkent]

I have been discovering Aurora about 2 years now and I used to think this was the best version of her singing this song. But After watching many reactions and listening to many other performances, I have realized just how perfect this live version is. It is at the Nobel Peace Prize awards and it is sooo good. I just watched your reaction to the version on her album and I agree with you… the upbeat version is weird and out of place. You REALY need to see this one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmThIqKi9yLrtk

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

Ah! Good, Winter Bird next week. I love that video, it completely changed my outlook on 'interpretive dance'. If you want some background, there's a 'making of' video for it which is very informative:- Behind the Scenes of a Flying Robot-Built Cocoon : kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpS5oIZsedV5nJo

[@devynbarat7777]

I think I'm in the minority in that I do really enjoy the album version as well. It's certainly a different vibe being more upbeat. Typical Aurora having "taken a sad song and hidden it in a bag of something that's not so sad." One of the many beauties of Aurora is that there are so many versions of her songs and they are ALL amazing! Someone made an unofficial video for the album version of the song made up of the section of the "Nothing is Eternal" documentary where Aurora is walking and dancing to the album version along with some bits from the "Into the Light" documentary. Here if anyone wants to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZfOmqulf5eLsNk

no, i like the upbeat version as well. there is also a in between live version, a hybrid version.
