🇳🇴 AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) | REACTION & REVIEW

AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert | REACTION & REVIEW
Back with a new music reaction and a new artist 'Aurora'. I went into this completely blind and WOW! was I unprepared! This girl should come with a government health warning with her stunning vocals and simply unique visual performance. This LIVE performance with simply perfectly accurate harmonising and ridiculous amount of emotion and presence. Once Again im reduced to tears literally! I need to react to more of her stuff as soon as possible! Breathtaking..

And God said... let there be Aurora.

Yep. Sorry mate.... #notsorry. 🤷🏼‍♂️😁👍❤

So true

[@gnarghhfps3239]

Found aurora last year...best musical find I've had in a while

[@timhutchinson8485]

She was 19 when this was recorded. One of the most evocative singers I’ve ever heard.

[@robertbrooks9805]

She was like 11 when she wrote this.

She wrote this song after reading an article about a man that killed his wife who had been diagnosed with a painful terminal illness.

[@Didi.creation]

Now I really gotta cry... I already was tearing up.. but now.. my o my😭 That's an act out of love. Thanks for the info.❤

[@LeNaInLoVe]

Not according to Wiki. What interview does she say that in? Plz give me a reference or a link. Only thing I've read is that she's said it's a sad sad love song, and it was written after she'd read the novel Murder song by Jon Cleary.

[@plainsman]

@@LeNaInLoVe - “It is a love song”, said Aurora, in a 2016 interview with Baeble. "Though dark and - in many ways - evil, this song deals with the difficult things we must do to protect the people we love."

Thanks for the back story, I was all over the place about a possible inspiration. Cheers bud

Right!

[@sentrosurveillance]

True

[@KingJosh-u5t]

Exactly!!

[@robin-30]

Hmm ok I appear to be a little late to this party :) but I would just like to suggest that this is not a song and Aurora isn't a singer. Aurora is a shaman and this 'song' is a form of medicine, I have heard this song now many times and it continues to impact on me. First she grabs you and then forces you through some sort of magic to sit willingly transfixed why she tells you things you need to know with real feeling, and she does this in an incredibly beautiful way. If there is still anyone here I would like to know if this resonates with you at all.

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΠαπακωνσταντίνου-φ7μ]

Aurora is like a GOOD vampire .She drinks all the bad blood inside us and suddenly we are different people, lighter,with more empathy, caring, better people....A real treasure in our dark times.

[@roderickmacd2841]

Aurora has the ability to bring middle-aged crusty old men to tears like myself. I think it has to do with our generation's experiences, some of them lost and some of them remembered. Her folky-modern tech seems to have a timeless beauty that brings together the music our parents liked, the music we liked, and now the music our children like in a magical storytelling gift. She is an amazing artist!!!

[@willstewart4829]

Man, I'm so glad it's not just this 27 year old guy Aurora brings to tears😅🙏

[@davidbeaulieu4815]

Yeah I'm a lot leader than you and I've been following her for quite a while she's amazing

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

try susanne sundfor, when the lord. this song cracks up everyone

[@cristobalbenitez5211]

Tengo 59 años y creo que Aurora es una muchacha muy fuera de lo común. Ella parece haber vivído una vida entera...

[@TomTomson81]

The story behind the murder song. Aurora wrote this song after reading about a "murder" in the newspaper near her homeland. A man killed his wife/girlfriend out of love. She was seriously ill and suffered more every day. He released her from suffering. The song is sung from the perspective of the woman's ghost. Maybe he killed her with her consent (I hope so) or he made the decision on his own. You will only find this explanation of this song in one interview with her (unfortunately I don't have a link to the interview and I can't find it anymore). It's not written anywhere else. And usually she doesn't explain her songs that specifically either, because she wants everyone to find their own story in them. She usually only says to the song it is a true tragic love story that doesn't end well. It should be said that this News was an inspiration for this song. That doesn't have to mean that the song itself is about it. But since it all fits together, I think so. Of course, it is written in such a way that many interpretations are possible. Just like Aurora actually always does. To the countdown. Some people say the "killer" is counting down. On the contrary, the song is sung by the victim all the time. For me that means that she counts down herself and than her boyfriend pulls the trigger. And she knows that he knows that he kills her for mercy. That means they both know. Sounds like an agreement.

[@jailaye6929]

Thank you Coyote for this heartfelt & soulful interpretation. I new it had to be something on this order. And what a curious and imaginative youth she was and is still today. Aurora can work out her feelings, taking that which is sad and unjust, and make it into a song. I see that she wrote this when she was 17. . . {-.-}

[@kvnkaveman]

No. She has said that the inspiration came from a book she read.

[@ytkdns]

What I like about this song is how it changes so much depending on our interpretation of the backstory. If we imagine this as a story about someone committing a mercy killing (that both parties have agreed on), it's a heartbreaking story about what we can do out of love for another person. If, like some reactors have thought, it's a story about a murder victim counting down, it's a disturbing story about a murder and delusion.

[@kvnkaveman]

@@Volkfire In a book she had read.

[@pht3k]

thank you so much for these explanations. i was wondering why she always open its eyes when she says bang i'm dead... most singers would do the exact opposite... but with your explanation it perfectly makes sense. the death was in fact a liberation...

[@EverythingWick]

I honestly don't think Aurora is human. She's an Angel in disguise. Trust me

[@34powerman]

Listen to through the eyes of a child by Aurora it’s unreal listen to it live too 👍

[@zhenx4729]

Agreed 👌

[@jollyo9276]

Certainly a "Must see and hear and experiance".

[@brigittevankeulen450]

At Nidarosdomen she i live so good !!!

[@rockape1954]

Agreed especially the Vevo ripped live acapella version. You will need several boxes of tissues for that one!

[@zuriekktsugrundist9147]

I would recommend the Nidarosdomen performance, personally.

[@shawnc666]

Oh Boy, you've just placed yourself in one of the Biggest Rabbit Holes I know... I'm a 50 year old 80's Classic Rock Metal Head, and I came across Aurora almost a year ago now...... I'm am completely at her mercy..... I am spellbound/enthralled/enchanted....... Welcome... I've never been touched like this by any other artist....and it's completely beyond my understanding or ability to put it into words... It is what it is...... Keep reacting to her live stuff...... She has a very strange way of taking "ONE" of her songs and playing it 3 to 5 different ways for each live performance and making ONE song be like 5 different songs, each one as enchanting as the other.....yet kind of different....... If you really wanna watch and hear her to where you will not be able to hold back those tears Live at Nidarosdomen the two songs "It Happened Quiet" and "Through the Eyes of a Child".... These two break me down every time....the whole concert is worth reacting to.....

[@ghostwalker3860]

Aye, her voice is incredible, I discovered her from a live performance with Wardruna (norwegian band that does the music for Vikings series) and she instantly blew my mind with her voice. On a side note, while watching her videos I stumbled upon Kalandra, another band that does some really good music and the singer's voice is somewhat similar to Aurora. I definitely recommend listening to Borders, the video in combination with the music is just pure art for me.

[@daturanights]

It is an amazing and wonderful rabbit hole...

[@airbrushboy1980]

So so true👌

[@Mike_H76]

Born in '76 metal-head/classic rock lover here too and all the way down the rabbit hole... listening to her until the wee hours of the morning, losing time, but time well lost.

[@bobm3434]

The Beatles tattoo on one arm, the cross/ emblem from Judas Priest sad wings of Destiny on other..... Floyd, Sabbath ( Dio years), Maiden, Rush, Neil Young.......like others, but give me these Catalogs and I wouldn't need anything else.......until I found Aurora......... Best Artist in last 30 years???? I can't describe her to others....I say something like...imagine Bowie as a girl....and he wants to make a double Queen album, but in the style of Yes meets Dylan..... What style of music do YOU consider her????? I seen Waters in a few different Cities when he did the Wall( second tour)...as I wanted to see it....inside, outside etc.... use to go to Vegas every time Priest played there. Want to see her soooooo bad. NYC this fall is only chance I have. LA date won't work for family reason. Her lyrics are absolutely amazing. Her Stage presence is beyond approach.....Freddy or Morrison are only others that are close.....and she's not running around etc. Doesn't use her body or sex appeal ( which I find her absolutely beautiful) as a gimmick. From her supporting BLM ( Amnesty International concert) The environment ( Greenpeace concert) LGBT community ( cure for me song).......and saying for example when asked if she lost fans/ supporters for writing BLM on her hands during Amnesty concert....if I lose racists fans, so what. I don't want racist people as fans anyways. Who would? Asked about doing things....bigger concerts etc that would make her more money.....if I start doing this for money, I no longer deserve to do this. It's not about money. It's about doing something that I love.

[@whatanitemare]

She doesn't just sing. The music flows through her.

[@egiljohnsen6145]

She is called the queen of emotions. So be prepared. I'm 59 years old and have never been so fascinated by any artist before. The whole girl is pure art. You approach the rabbit hole, and there will be a wonderful journey. She has some great videos, that she often directed herself, that are art in themselves. But her live performances (like this) is, for me, more captivating, because you wil be trapped by her spells (or what is it). It is not only her songs (she started writing songs in english in the age of 9), but her whole personallity. There is a lot of strange theories in the commuity, what she is, where she is from (alien, fairy, elf ..), but I find it hard to understand this girl, the deeper I go in her lyrics. My rational thoughts do not suffice.

[@judleym5877]

Egil - I'm 75 and also think Aurora is the most captivating and fascinating performer I've ever encountered. Are you also from Norway? My two favorites on the planet are the young ladies from Norway, Angelina Jordan and Aurora.

[@egiljohnsen6145]

@@judleym5877 Yes, I'm from Norway. I was shocked when I discovered that Aurora was Norwegian when I first saw her on KZbin when she performed Teardrop for Like a version in Australia. That many people discover Aurora via Angelina is not so strange. When Angelina does her AGT show, the was a explosion of people that was making reaction videos of her. After that, people start making reaction videos of Aurora, because of Aurora fans that used Angelina as a door opener. When I discovered Aurora for some years ago, there was a few reaction videos of Aurora every week. Now is it 3-6 every day. The lucky part to live in Norway, is that it is easy to see Aurora live. I have been on 6 concerts with her, last time on a closed concert with only 8-10 other people in addition to all the crew. And she is not so well known in Norway, so you dont need to stand hours in queue to get close to the stage.

She is pure magic ✨

[@filipo7703]

If you look into Aurora, she seems like a person that wasn't touched by society.

[@jamesreese4170]

You can often see her "return" from that far off place she goes while she performs. "Runaway" from the same concert is a great demonstration of this. She shakes herself out of it, and seems almost surprised that their is a crowd there cheering for her.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

She performed in a forest in Norway, and it's so incredibly magical. You should definitely check it out if you haven't. Everything about her is perfection. I'm convinced Aurora and Bjork come from the same distant planet.

Dolores O'Riordan more than Bjork.

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

@@cathyyoung3285 If we are talking about vocal style alone, I agree. But in terms of her creativity, composition, and lyrics, she is very much like Bjork. Bjork is one of Aurora's influences. You can really hear it in songs like "In Bottles", and "Soulless Creatures".

[@dansegelov305]

I remember being astounded by the sheer courage of this performance when I first heard it. I was a songwriter and performer in my younger days and I look at the enormous scale of that arena and just know I could never have performed a song like this in that venue. It may be a fictional story, but it still feels so raw, intimate and almost invasive, listening to it. Like we're eavesdropping on someone in their most vulnerable moment. But at 19 years old, she stood in front of thousands of people, most of whom probably weren't that aware of her work, and absolutely poured out her soul for everyone to see. No shame. Nowhere to hide. Pure beauty. She truly is a remarkable and deeply impressive young human being.

Congratulation, you have discovered Aurora! Deared not to hope to see her on your channel, what a wonderful suprise, thank you. She is going to touch you as she have done with all of us, with the magic she posesses. Aurora is an artist who has it all - she writes and has a major part producing her music, her lyrics are poetry, and she is a fantastic performer. Her fantastic band and the harmonies they can perform live are masterclass. Looking forvard for more reactions, pick any song, you cant go wrong.

Aurora makes me feel in a way that no other artist ever has. She is so authentic and creative, it's like a breath of fresh air. This is one of my favorites. "It happened quiet" is another great one. The way that she performs every single note is deliberate and has meaning. It's mind boggling, and to think that she's only 25.

Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (live) with english captions on. it`s not her alone, but i would dare to say it`s an equally impactful performance. Wardruna is a band that makes musical renditions of old Norse cultural traditions, like the "divine" poems from the Håvamål. the show vikings is scored with a few of their songs

[@brigittevankeulen450]

Yes!!! Beautiful

[@syzygy21055]

Her commitment to every song is total. She’s never “putting on a show”. She’s not “acting”. She lets the song take her over and speak through her. In live performances you’ll often see her return to her body from somewhere else at the end of a song, like someone waking up from a dream into unfamiliar surroundings. All of that is very evident in this performance, but you’ll find many others like it. The effect is riveting.

[@soundslike1life]

I absolutely love your reactions to Aurora. Gives me hope for human kind.

[@natedietel4968]

Love your reaction to Aurora. If you really like to "know" her better, you should check out the documentary on her called HAIK. This leads up to an outdoors concert in the woods, the only thing she knew what was planned for her that day, the rest was all a suprise for her. Norways public broadcast television (NRK) made this in 2019.

[@justjulie37]

Her concert live in Nidarostomen is one of the most beautiful experiences you will ever have. I know you don't react to entire concerts (although several reactors have actually reacted to the concert), but you must cover all the songs from this concert. It is breathtaking. I have seen it many times and I can't get enough. She is so talented .

[@husker22chad63]

Completely immersed is a perfect description. The entirety of the song and performance are absolute perfection.

[@louera]

You tearing up made me tear up. It's funny that you said you're glad you don't wear makeup or else it'll smudge haha. This was exactly my same reaction when I first found Aurora, I cried and sobbed through every song of hers and all her interviews. It was like finding a kindred spirit. That's probably why many people like her as well, they see themselves in her if they were able to be as free as her.

[@IsMirDochLattens]

If you want to listen to a real a cappella performance try: "Aurora - Through The Eyes Of A Child (Live) - Stripped (Vevo UK LIFT)" Other suggestions: -Lucky live at Nidarosdomen -It Happend Quiet live at Nidarosdomen ( I think it's more powerful than the version "at The Current") To be fair, anything from the Nidarosdomen concert is great. Full concert reaction? ;) Either way, she just touches your heart.

[@hakanandersson1276]

Great suggestions!!

[@stevek7699]

Great recommendations

[@Zipcom69]

"at The Current" is the better version. The down striped approach fits her more.

[@IsMirDochLattens]

@@Zipcom69 I won't fight over it since it's purely subjective ;) but I think the stripped down version lacks emotion and power compared to Nidarosdomen. "At the Current" is more like an "album version" with more perfect singing and recording.

[@trish8399]

Aurora is a beautiful little forest fairy who was sent by Mother Earth to speak to our hearts through the only language that is universal and eternal; connected to the heart and soul. She even says that in an interview, if I remember correctly. Well, not all of it. She didn't say anything about being a forest fairy lol But there is something very special and magical about her.

[@jallen6874]

Yep... You basically reacted the same way I did when I first heard her. There were many pauses of the song just so I could process the seconds of gold that blessed my ears. This song particularly hit my emotions. It's truly a masterpiece. She has many masterpieces and just keeps making incredible music and telling stories in a spectacular way. I'm emotionally attached to her music, it's unbelievable.

[@tobiasschremmer9823]

If you ask me, she's been sent from somewhere. And whether she's aware of it or not, she's on a mission. The hours listening to her songs were, are and will continue to be more educating than the lifetime I spent so far. There are no words to thank her for the gift she's making to us all. Wonderful reaction, keep up that authenticity. Greetings from Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany

[@ninakaiser2930]

It´s so sweet to see another Human Being´s first reaction to Aurora. I will never forget my own. She is the most captivating artist for me. She is so unique. And this live performance - it´s really hard to describe with words. I am glad it touched you, too, and for your review! I cried right along with you.

[@lindamari8981]

yeees! finally !! AURORA!!

[@texasles612]

You will be moved even more by the song, Through The Eye's Of A Child. Aurora Asknes is from Norway like Angelina Jordan, I'm not sure what is in the water there but there are phenomenal singer's coming from there. Aurora has said that the reason she has so much movement when singing is because she feels so many more emotions are trying to come out of her and that's how they express themselves. All of Aurora's live performances are worth watching. She will move you in ways that you have seldom felt . Great reaction ❤️

[@glacieractivity]

This young woman is a total empath. She is so many things - but always this bigger than life empath. To the point that her lyrics can be hard to grasp since she can be you, herself, mother earth, the wind, a seed as the first person inside her lyrics. She wrote "Lucky" at age 9. I would suggest her live version from the Nidarosdomen concert as first listen - where she rearranged it for string orchestra, male choir and church organ. This girl has some absolute galactic level understanding of harmonic tension and releases thereof. (You will find the same in her "Through the Eyes of a Child" at the same concert - though I like the even more stripped version live at Vevo even more in almost pure acapella form). She has one of the finest vocal chemistries on the planet right now with her keyboardist and second-voice singer Silja Sol. There is a suite of live-session recordings of them two simply standing on the shoulders of Simon&Garfunkle while circling and inverting passages on each other. There are also a huge amount of recordings when she unplugs her entire band. But I enjoy her going peak energy too - such as the two KEXP live sessions or some of her festival concerts around the world that are recorded with at least semi-professional sound. For you as a reactor - the NRK (Norwegian TV) concerts (such as the one above) are reasonably safe for copy-strikes (with a minimum of awareness). This includes her version of Life on Mars (Bowie), the legendary HAIK concert in the forest outside her childhood home and the even more legendary Nidarosdomen concert. (You are British I think - if so you know "I am walking on the air" from the Snowman - she does an astonishing version of it in that set as a little Christmas bonus). Do not get tricked into making an opinion based on studio material (she goes for a rather heavy alternative electronica pop mix, that I find can hide her songs - or they risk making her sound generic. There are just a few of her songs I really love straight out of the studio, and even there I usually have a live version I love more. A reason for this is that Aurora's pure presence becomes a bit muted in the studio recordings - it is when singing live she comes alive - comforting, scary, crying, soft, loving, angry with the emotional weight that her lyrics and songs deserve. And it is here she shows off the same magic Edit Piaf is said to have. The amount of emotional weight this girl can hold on that tiny body is just extraordinary. Especially since she NEVER ends up in the emo-trap in her music. Since I am ranting I want to mention another thing. The number of us that start a sentence about Aurora the following way "I am half a century old and normally I listen to (insert prog, rock, jazz, art-house electronica, classical)" is enormous. Especially from the classic rock school. There are some roots in her songwriting and voice that hits us. Partly, Aurora has some of that Joni Michell power in her. Similar to what one finds in Kate Bush and Annie Lennox a decade later. Even if I may have not loved the genre Eurytmics was placed in 4 decades ago - I sure as hell knew they were more than yet another pop-duo act of their time. Aurora in her way of writing music - the skeleton of her music is arranged with deep traditional roots that also Scandinavian metal use. You will hear it in her "Through the eyes of a child" stripped where the song reveals itself as almost Gregorian Chant influenced in structure. The entire Nidarosdomen is demonstrating these deep musical roots. Let me illustrate this with a rare occasion when Aurora joins in to sing second-voice with people she knows - the people in the band Wardruna who plays "medieval folk-music reconstructed". I give you Helvegen. (In addition to the awesomeness, also try picking up on the structures and arrangements of Wardruna - and note how themes from it have been popping up in Auroras song-writing since she was 9 years old). There is something ancient in how she writes songs - on top of her vocal techniques that are well-known in Scandinavian folk music with roots also going back to around 200 AD (linguistically called "Age of Syncope") (Scandinavian singing was affected by changes in how we used vowels and accents while separating from the proto-germanic language. Fun fact - it is the same reason the Swedish Chef in the Muppets has a yodelling approach to communication 😀). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJ_Ohah-hZ6kadE&ab_channel=wardrunawardrunaOffisiellartistkanal

Thank you for sharing so much information about this amazing young lady. I found her years ago on the internet and didn’t realize she’d become so well known. I always prefer live artists because the ones I love truly sound better live. I’m anxious to check out the link you sent. Thank you!

[@huldradraco]

one of the reasons Aurora is such an amazing artist, is that she goes into the emotions of the song in her head as she sings, as if she is going through it personally there and then, and that is heard and felt in her voice and expressions. she doesn't really have much control of what her hands do as she sings, they just express what she feels and is trying to tell. you often can see her "wake up" from the song as she ends her performance, looking a bit dazed or confused for a few seconds, before she snaps out of it, she's completely into the song's emotions and story as she sings it. if you want another extremely haunting and emotional song of hers, try the pure acapella version of "Through the Eyes of a Child" stripped VEVO. it will blow your mind and hit you in the feels :)

[@byzinski]

The most beautiful hauntingly female singing voice I’ve ever heard (Norway 🇳🇴 ),. I’ve heard almost everything by her since a month ago. Right now Aurora is my number #1 singer male and female. All genres. 💕💕💕 Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

[@johnnyshih498]

Nice reaction!!! She was about 19 in this performance. An amazing Norwegian songwriter, as well as a great singer, music producer, and dancer. Here are a few recommendations: Runaway live at Nobel Peace Prize Lucky live at Nidarosdomen Infections of a Different Kind live at HAIK

[@AClark-jx9zp]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO in my very best Ric Flair voice. She's amazing and absolutely beautiful

[@MrTombre]

Live is ususally the best way to go with Aurora, the seed, queendom,apple tree are probably the ones where the original video is prefered due to their visual message 🙏🇳🇴 * adding Winter bird + exist for love to the original video selection

[@c.odubhlaoich3112]

Queendom is just jealous pretentiousness about how it would be a wonderful world if women ruled instead of men. Except when that happens you still get people like Kamala or Hillary, or Theodora who has been seen as a feminist idol but she tortured countless people and completely disregarded the laws of her country to be able to continue doing so lol.

[@Lene-Lene]

I am happy you discovered AURORA, another Norwegian gem.

[@TheNovamanda]

She looks young because she's a freaking alien. I think Arcturian to be exact. Ageless. And sent to inspire all of humanity. 🙌❤️

[@madmattsubieman9807]

ANY SONG from her is Amazing. Exactly what the world needs.

[@danielhedo6628]

....never apologize to got stunned by her, she is such an amazing weapon to reveal your mind, your hurts, your wishes, suffers and love;- seeing you only reminded me of myself experiencing Aurora. best wishes.....

[@poolhallshark]

Great to see you venture into Aurora. She's 18 here. Greetings from Norway :-)

[@birdthegoblin7511]

She's been my favorite artist since 2015 and I'm so glad you've found her, And threw her I've found you. This shows so much of your heart. I'm here to stay now.

[@LunarCauldron]

Aurora has that effect on everyone! She brings up so many power emotions ❤

[@arthuriuss7133]

LUCKY FOR THOSE WHO HAS AURORA IN THEIR LIFES !! HI WARRIORS!!

[@marketsquareus]

Welcome to the world of Aurora, the queen of emotions. Her songs are all very deep and meaningful. I would suggest Aurora Through the eyes of a child stripped Vevo UK lift version, its entirely a capella and there arent words to describe how beautiful. Aurora doesnt sing a song, she bares her soul to you.

[@SusanKYorke]

Welcome to Aurora’s world! You have just begun, enjoy it 🖤🖤🖤

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Aurora is simply and absolutely the Best of the best, unique and adorable!

[@martincurtis4066]

She makes angels weep

[@lmahn1]

I love that I'm not the only person out there who is so moved by her music. She is a gift in this world, pure, beautiful..... I'm glad you found her

[@teresavasey1041]

Aurora's voice and her interpretations of the music are like a bridge to another world for me, my happy place.

[@Myria83]

I've been listening to this performance (and the music video: that is amazing too) for years, and I still cry EVERY SINGLE TIME. Damn...

[@piachristel]

Thanks for your genuine reaction to Norway's treasure

[@hakanandersson1276]

Great man. You have stumble upon the Queen of emotion, expressions and empath...... And storytelling. She never duck for hard topics. Welcome to my soulhealer universe.

[@phonixtraum9214]

hej hakan ... as i could see, you are following her since a long time. so maybe you have an idea where to find a postal adress to send some art inspirations to her. i have send a package to her management and got it back without any comment. same with e-mails, insta and so on. asking the hardcore fans is my last try, than i might walk with tent from east sweden to west norway and give it to a neighbour. all the best to all, carsten

[@tinnytiny1742]

you mentioned about thinking that she wasn't even there, she herself said once that when she is performing she feels in a bubble, she doesn't see the audience or anything. Loved your video!!

Og stolte er vi av henne :)

[@maximpowers1]

She have this impact on everyone .. and i love her music ...

[@dalus8073]

Beautiful, intelligent reaction. You get Aurora completely. For most of her fans, like me, there is no comparison.

[@lenita2197]

She's an angel

[@simonturner138]

I went to see live in Birmingham in 2019. She was amazing and change my view of modern music forever. I'm a 60 year old bloke from Stoke.

[@raphaellopes4396]

She is truly able to transport us all to his own world while singing, definitely she is one of the most powerful performers I already had seen. Love Aurora

[@gertwestblad9052]

IMHO Aurora has done one of the most epic beautiful conserts in modern time. In the cathedral of Nidaros (Nidarosdomen). You must check that out. Angelina and Aurora are the soundtracks of my life these days. Aurora are 19yo here but currently soon 25. (15th of June)

[@doomsmith]

I really love the way you review. You're honest and thoughtful and not afraid to show emotion in this case which is fantastic. Because music carries emotions! I hate when people are so fake and just say words that technically count as a "review" only to get clicks off the artists name. You're nothing of the sort. Anyway, I subscribed nice and quick and I'll be binging some of your videos now until my ADHD swings me in another direction. Love the content.

[@kalefu]

She said in interviews that Runaway is song she thinks people should start with when it comes to getting to know her. She wrote it at age of 11 and sing she performs it on same concert as this one. You are for a ride now, Aurora is incredible

[@Angelique-Le]

I absolutely LOVE Aurora!!! I’ve been a major fan since the very first time I heard her! Don’t feel bad cause she made me tear up literally the first couple of times I watched her ( on KZbin I’m not stalking her or anything LOL!)! I love watching these reactions to her from people who’ve never heard her and/or seen her because more often than not THEY also get at least a tiny bit emotional! I’ve seen people from all walks of life & different types of musicians from different genres reacting!! What I love about yours is you’ve truly listened to the lyrics & seem to understand what she’s trying to convey (there’s been others who have loved her voice & movements but seem to have misunderstood the lyrics, OR have kinda looked down on the meaning partially because they misunderstood a piece of it! 😊😮
