AuRoRa - Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) - [[REACTION]]

[@RunarNyrud]

Songs have different meaning to different people..... I had to let my 18 year old cat go last summer, and it still hurts...... Aurora said about the song: "It's a tragic love story. Very tragic. The saddest thing is that he really loves her." Rumors has it that she read about a man that killed the woman he loved to save her from pain (termanally sick). The twist that Aurora does is that she sings it from the woman's" side", and that makes it extra pain full. You really went from the lightest to the darkest song i must say.... Hope you will continue your journey, you will be surprised.....

[@baskoning9896]

Yes, me the same. She dares to sing about such a delicate subject, I projected it onto me killing my cat out of mercy, its.. insane. I cannot even listen to it without crying.

[@TheNortibia]

@@baskoning9896 she is therapeutic to the soul, she might make you cry, but you will feel better later... I heard she wrote this tragic love story to point out the mental health issue in our society.. He was apparently so scarred by his past and what he had been through, he wanted to spare the woman he loved from experience the same, if he had gotten help sooner, it might not have had this tragic outlook. a murder is not always coldblooded, it might just be the tragic outcome of somone not getting the help he clearly needed, and the outcome was horrible, much like life for many people who suffers from mental health problems, and are not getting the help they need.

[@DaniSpeh]

I agree, it depends on the current state of mind and the experiences someone had. For me the song is an allegoric story about a breakup, not a simple breakup though. Something like a forced breakup, maybe because the relationship was inappropriate (age gap, married, drug user). There is a lot of love but the guy has to end the relationship even if both of them don't want it (holding an allegorical gun to her end) so he can spare her pain in the future (because it has no future)

[@TheNakedWombat]

It is common for people to cry when they start listening to Aurora. Her music is healing.

[@banheesos]

Can confirm, I first heard the song Lucky while on a trip with my friends & broke down crying the entire night. Decided to add it to my favourites in Spotify and started to listen to it to feel the sadness I once felt and minutes turns to hours then turns to weeks not I've been a warrior ever since.

[@maxiuxfidget716]

Yes its very common. Im crying right now 🥲

[@annebritraaen2237]

I think she wrote this song after reading about a man who had killed his wife to spare her from some illness. Any person with a heart will feel it.

[@SweenyTV]

I know I did.... that was beautiful and painful at the same time!

[@christinwilhelmsen9460]

In my opinion, it was to set light on domestic abuse and mental health. This is the consequense of mental health issues for the people struggling, and does not get any help.Aurora uses her music as therapy and often writes about the things that scares her, or makes her unsettled, or that makes her mad. She said this song was a tragic lovesong.

[@jasekjaan]

I don't really think is about real sparing someone from illness. It's called Murder song for a reason. Many sick sociopaths kill with in idea of cleansing world from wrongs ang bads that are just a construct of their deviated minds. She even sings "I know he knows he's killing me for mercy" and not "I know he's killing me for mercy..". She literally says he's doing it becaus HE knows she will suffer in the future, to save her "from the awfull things in life that comes...". It can be anything from broken heart to being fired from work to domestic abuse or actually maybe getting sick. But it was his decision and his action and very possibly his broken view of the world...

[@TaniumRag]

Should check it happened quiet coz I believe that song was the sequel to this song. Listen to the lyrics

[@takoja507]

@@jasekjaan Well Mercy killing is a murder is any country by law. And in some countries euthanasia can be done by doctors, but if you would just kill your loved one for mercy because they are terminally ill and ask to die, it would be called murder. So yes I can see how this song can be about a situation like that.

[@lithia4069]

Wow I’ve never seen this song being interpreted in putting a pet down at a vet, this absolutely made me bawl my eyes out. Especially with the countdown and all it just goes with it. Wow that just made me so emotional, but there’s also beauty in it, as the pet knows you did it out of love. Thank you for this reaction! Id love to see you react to more of her work 💙

[@SweenyTV]

Thank you Lithia, there will definitely be more AuRoRa here in the future. I also have another reaction to her if you look through some of my videos.

[@maxsteiner1964]

If I have learned anything from following this absolutly beautiful creature, is that Aurora can talk/sing about the most serious matters but never in a way that makes it depressing or unbearable. She has stressed time and time again, that sorrow and tears are an intrinsic part of living and by open ourself to those feelings, we can come thru almost anything and grow as a human instead of being consumed by the hardship that life throws our way. Aurora herself has experienced her share of tragedy and loss. She lost two close friends in the terror attack at Utøya in 2011. Then, just three years later, her best friend died in an automobile accident. She was just 17 or 18. Her own sister has suffered from very dangerous depression for many years So when Aurora talk or sings about this things, shes not some pretensious teen that thinks its "cool" to be dark. And yet, when you see Aurora on stage or in interviews, her joie de vivre is just infectous. And, belive me or not, she has fantastic humor. Her in between comments on stage will make you cry with laughter. So yes, Aurora is as complex as she seems.

[@SweenyTV]

Thank you Max

[@di0__0ib]

having to put a pet down is exactly what this song speaks about having experienced it many times I totally feel that you just helped me to find that connection 🤗

[@johnlovenhill1]

I think your dog story is a perfect explaination for the song. Everyone thinks it’s a person who’s singing but why not a dog. Makes so much more sense. And I love how it touched you. I can’t imagine having to do that to my dog.

[@SweenyTV]

Starting to see pain in my 11 yr old dog, really sad to know he doesnt have long

[@cryhavoc38]

I feel your pain my friend. Took my rather young 8 year old lab to the vet for a routine checkup and had to put him to sleep the next day. Played with him all day, fed him steak and everything else he loved, and then had an 8am appointment at the vet the next day. Held him the whole time until they said he was gone. Absolutely wreaked me.

[@SweenyTV]

So sad, huh? I kinda knew my girl's time was up so it wasn't a surprise. I only added selfishness to my sadness when I was on the floor with her crying my eyes out, while the shots they gave her took her....in the end, her suffering was over but mine has never stopped.

[@JediHobbit007]

Wow man. That was the realest reaction I've ever seen. I swear she could read the phone book and I would be curled up in the fetal position

Im a 67 year old man who has watched her do this song 40+ times and had the same reaction as you every time. the song is what you want it to be by design. your dog, my friend. a wonderful way to revisit feelings. she does it so well

[@amylarusso76]

I was doing okay until you mentioned your dog and at that moment it ripped my heart out. All of a sudden this song took a complete turn and changed into it being about the dog. My dog, your dog... Hugs to you. I have felt that pain and it's life long. Sitting here crying my eyes out. hugs big hugs.

[@SweenyTV]

Thanks for watching Amy, my interpretation hit me in a very deep and lingering guilt.... much love.

[@Tokiofritz]

Sometimes a piece of music can unexpectedly hit us right in the emotional bullseye, triggering some locked away baggage. Incredibly brave of Sweeny to upload and share such a thing happening in real time. Well done, brother.

[@KristinaSandnes]

AURORA is the only artist that can bring me to tears like this. She puts ALL her emotions into her songs. I've been to a consert of hers here in Norway - we were on a mountain with 7000 people. She is just amazing live! And such a funny person too. :)

[@tinntinnamp]

This is the epitome of Aurora. She makes you feel even when you don't want to, and it's ok. It's good to be sad once in a while (I'm so sorry about your dog. I know how hard it can be. I had to put down my first dog from childhood because he kept growing tumors and was just in pain all the time. He was very old at least, like your dog). When I listen to Aurora I feel a catharsis and feel better after. She is so empathetic and caring on top of it, which you can get from interviews and just how she is in general. Having to put down your dog is no less than a human in my opinion. I sometimes like animals (especially dogs) more than people anyway.

[@z0ttel89]

You are one of the very, very few people on youtube that I saw having a genuine reaction that was not acted. Your dog story actually made me tear up in the context of this song.

[@aabracadavra]

[@aliciaannisa8849]

I can never hear this song any other way anymore after you shared about your dog. I have four fur babies of my own and just the thought of having to make the decision to let them go someday ripped me to pieces. This song has become one of the saddest songs I've ever heard 😭 I'm gonna cuddle with my dogs now

[@Tetsugakumono]

[@IgorCosta1995]

His reaction was different from all I've seen. Aurora herself says that his music has this purpose, not all but some songs, each person will interpret in their own way and that's magic! Music has the power to cause all kinds of feelings in a human being, anger, joy, happiness, sadness... I dare say that Aurora is the greatest musician we have today, she composes her own songs, your way of expressing yourself singing I never seen any artist do in such a genuine way, she becomes the music performing. Great video! Brother.

[@TheJackelantern]

If you ever have to put a loved one to rest, to make that call, this song will rip through your heart....

[@j.k.1963]

This song is so disturbing, and then Aurora delivers it with this raw emotion on top of it.... At first you don't believe what you are hearing. This can't be what she just sang, was my first thought after hearing the first verse. Slowly I come to grips with it. The controversial subject of euthanasia, put into this blunt text. It really gets you thinking about it at a much deeper level. Still it sends shivers down your spine. As you I have had to have our dog put down. There was no chance of recovering from cancer. On one side it was so horrible, but our deep love for our dog helped us to cope with this awful situation. I feel you man. Respect to your pain.

[@SweenyTV]

Thank you JK..... appreciate the comment and your situation, it definitely is a difficult thing to decide.

[@vincearmstrong5654]

The magic of Aurora. She reaches right in there, doesn't she?

[@SweenyTV]

Yes, she does

[@wisdomtoknowthedifference]

The song opens a lot of interpretations. The first time I listened to it, I thought she was singing about protecting a child from the awful things and then that father failed to do just that. What an honest reaction. It's difficult not to cry to her songs. Especially the lyrics could speak to you.

[@SweenyTV]

Yes, those lyrics hit me especially because my dog TiKi was a super sweet female dog and I interpreted myself as her murderer...even though I knew it was the right thing to do to end her suffering. Broke my heart, in that context and exposed feelings that still haven't healed.

That was a really heartfelt reaction! It’s ok to cry, Aurora has a song about it called The River. It’s about how crying is good and natural. I would suggest reacting to Lucky live at Nidarosdomen and Runaway live at Nobel Peace Prize. I think you will enjoy these performances.

[@alexisanderson8963]

You sir are exactly why she doesn't usually tell us the meaning behind her songs. She wants everyone to be able to get something out of her music. She's a genuine person that just wants to touch people. (We did get the meaning/story for this one, but I only recently heard it.)

[@billycadenhead4045]

Sorry to hear about your dog. I know only to well what it's like to lose a pet. Our dog had to be put down last year, we had her in our family for 16 years. Pets are a member of the family and it hurts beyond words when we lose them. Thank you for just being you in this reaction video. I felt your sadness and shared with you. You'll feel better in time.

Thank you Billy. It was so difficult to get through this one, almost didn't post it...I was worried that many would perceive me as a weak emotional type. At the end of the day, yes, I am...when certain things remind me of hard times

[@anicapalini]

I listened to this song in 2016 and it reminded me of a news item about a village surrounded by an armed force against which they could do nothing, but knowing how it was going to end, rape, torture, abuse in all kinds, the men of the village decided to kill their wives and children before committing suicide to avoid suffering. Aurora's strength is that she tells a story in a way that each one of us can connect with, no matter our age, our culture, our background, the fundamental message gets across strait to your heart.

[@SweenyTV]

What a horrible situation!

[@rockape1954]

Aurora takes us through the full spectrum of emotion... highs and lows. She just has a way of doing that. I hope you don’t stop there. And all her fans (Warriors & Weirdos) have cried listening to her at one time or other. But also experienced exquisite joy.

[@whatanitemare]

Now there are 2 songs that make me blubber like a fool. The first, Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You". It was our wedding song. 2 years later my husband went to work one day and never came home again. We buried him to that song. Now this one. From the time he was 8 weeks old and for almost 10 years, we were never apart for more than a few hours. He went to work with me, travelled with me and was my constant companion until 4 o'clock that awful morning that I had to take him in to the emergency vet and have him put down. 10 years later and it still breaks my heart.

[@SweenyTV]

I understand your pain... it never fully goes away does it? Some songs can tap into that pain we like to forget to get by. I do also love that Dolly Parton song.

[@whatanitemare]

@@SweenyTV So true. I will never intentionally listen to either song even though they're both beautiful.

[@hishouha]

Aurora has some really dark songs, but all of them touch me somehow. She brings out into melodies the saddest and most beautiful things this life gives. This world is beautiful yet cruel, dark yet so bright. She embodies it and you can tell she doesn’t “perform”, she let the music flow through her.

[@paulfredericksen6565]

Aurora makes you bring out an emotion and really look at it and feel it. And sometimes it's sad, but not always. Sometimes I don't even understand why my eyes fill with tears, and sometimes I don't understand why I want to get up and dance. She's remarkable.

[@thetalantonx]

5:17 - "Sometimes the cut must be made To separate death from life; While pain's the price to be paid It's best when love wields the knife." You did the right thing, brother. I know how hard that is, and that's what inspired the song. As mentioned in comments over the last couple of years (just found your channel myself), the song was inspired by Aurora hearing a man helping his terminally ill and suffering wife to let go. It so struck her she had to write the song (so the story goes.)

Aurora has that effect on people! Through the Eyes of Child at Nidarosdomen is awesome (that entire concert is pretty amazing) and It Happened Quiet is also great (At the Current). For something a bit more upbeat, I'd suggest Running with the Wolves Pandora Sessions has a nice acoustic version), Conqueror (Tonight Show), and Queendom (live at KEXP). So much energy in Conqueror and Queendom. If you feel like you need something sad, watch her live tribute to Leonard Cohen in Chicago (So Long Marianne) shortly after she found out he died (recording not too bad considering it was taken on a cell phone). The thing with Aurora is that every live performance is different and she gives it everything she has. She is so amazing to watch.

[@thecrowwitch9582]

I came here for a reaction video that would make me go "Yeah, isn't she perfect?!". One minute ago I was thinking "how can she empathize so much with every performance?". In the end, I ended up crying my eyes out because of the reason the song touched you. It was like I can feel the sadnesses, guilt, love, desperation. The "I'm sorries" and "I love yous". In all honesty, I think I found this video today to tell you that your dog loves you and that you're a good person. Maybe you already know that. Maybe at some point you need to be reminded of it. I just, somehow, know it's true and want you to know that as well.

[@Lene-Lene]

When listening to music, it becomes personal. You out your meaning into this Song, just as I will out another meaning in the song. We are all unique individuals with our unique experiances that forms out individual history. And our histories shapes the music we listen to, puts å meaning in the lyrics, the use of techniques and tones used, the instruments.... all of it år interpreted by us as unique individuals. For me, this Song holds 3 meanings, all if them formed out of my history. It all depends on my mood while listening to it, which meaning I put om it. Simplified it goes like this: 1: I have in my passed experianced a traumaticaly abusive realationship that I couldn't escape. So the song is about an abusive reajationship, where the abuser comes to clarity and understands the pain he had influcted, and that no matter what happens, she will be marked by this for the rest of her life. He feels himself a monster knowing he will not being able to stop abusing her, and not being Ble to let her go. He loves her deeply, and in that moment og clarity he kills her, to spear her the pain, both physically and mentaly. She loves him and understands what is happening, and accepts it, finally feeling free. It is a dark, twisted lovesong. Raw and emotional. 2. I have suffered with depresion and was suicidale when hunger, not eanting to die, not wanting to live. In this version, it is still a lovesong, where the lover accepts that she can't live like this, and loving her dearly, taking the choice for her by killing her. I know, this is Even more twisted. But it makes sence for me. 3. As a nurse I have seen a lot of pain and dying, people living with umbearable pain, with no hope. So this version is also a relationship, a lovesong, where one if the is sick like that, with a horrible disease, where he/she will lose themself completely the this disease, losing all function etc. He kills his lover for mercy knowing he gave to live with double pain after that, losing his lover and knowing he did it, to spear her/him. euthanasia, like we do with animals. It is devastating watching humans suffer like that, too. Not only our animal friends. I know, dark and twisted. But it is a great song.

I watch a ton of Aurora reactions, especially to this song because it’s my favorite of hers. I saw a comment somewhere that said she had heard a story about a man who had done this to his girlfriend, although I don’t know the details. As you listen to more Aurora songs, you’ll see that she explores death quite a bit. In an interview with Eurovision, she said she does this mostly because of curiosity, and finds that as humans, aware of our mortality, we can still live our lives without always thinking about it. She’s a fascinating creature.

[@SweenyTV]

Indeed, she is a fascinating creature.... very unique!

[@juneannerubin]

This song always always hits me from the first few lines. It's so powerful that it can reach into me and summon out a deep emotion that I've forgotten or tried to suppress. I've been moving on from a dear friend's death recently and always heard her say how soon she'll be gone as she was already very old. I cried throughout the entire song. I will always thank Aurora's music for making me feel like it's okay to feel what I feel sometimes and that I don't always have to keep a straight face when facing life. It takes a lot of courage for you to share to us about your lovely dog. Thanks for doing this review. I'll be looking forward to the next ones!

And this is why I didnt want to have a dog , but I have 2 , I dread the day that I have to go through losing them. But this song and subject just touches on , humanity , release of pain , release of suffering but also that last bit of humanity taken from ending someone/something's life with compassion in mind. Or holding a loved ones hand as they pass on.

Hey man....no shame. You had to do a very tough thing, love isn't always butterflies & rainbows & sometimes we have to make very tough decisions. Stay strong brother, I feel your pain. BTW, I saw her live & this song hits harder in person when shes 3 feet from you xD

[@SweenyTV]

Thanks Oliver

[@tmsvanes]

Very sorry for your loss and painful memories. But what an honest and heartfelt reaction, very much respect for you. Aurora will bring you to tears from time to time, that's a calculated "risk." You have now seen her sweetest and then her most disturbing one. In between these there is a big, big variety of songs to look forward to. Dare I suggest "Through the Eyes of a Child" live from Nidarosdomen, the huge and beautiful cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. It's the loveliest song with the gentlest lyrics you can imagine.

[@SweenyTV]

Yes, Thorleif, that has been highly requested so it will be recorded and published soon... stay tuned!

[@wiccavirgo]

Cried along a bit with you. Your story really made me feel the song in a new way. Thank you for sharing.

[@SweenyTV]

Thanks for listening

On August 11, my cat died 2 years ago and I can no longer identify myself with this song. I miss him a lot, I wish pets were eternal (sorry for my English)

[@SweenyTV]

Sorry to hear that. Your English is fine.

This song is so touching.... Like all her songs! This is an artist who I have been searching for all my life, I am so glad she exists.

[@nikolemiranda9640]

Omg I just want to reach through the screen and hug you, you poor thing. She makes you feel things even when you don't understand what she is saying. I'm glad I found this video.

[@SweenyTV]

You just did... thank you, Nikole. 🙏

[@18Rakas]

never feel sorry for showing emotion and crying! i also cried. i cried with you. this song is really emotional, as well as aurora is as a person -- she makes me cry with so many songs of hers. like "the seed," for example. always makes me cry too. i really liked your honest reaction. thank you.

[@kippys1]

For a high-energy and (to my way of thinking) uplifting song by AURORA, I recommend "All is Soft Inside" live at KEXP in Iceland!

[@genejohnson2144]

I'm not sure how true it is but, I saw a comment on another person's reaction to this song that said this was a true story that Aurora remembered from a village in Norway where She lived about a Woman who had a horrible illness that was going to cause years of painful suffering before it would eventually kill Her. She begged Her Love to spare her from all the suffering and this is what the song is about. A Very Dark Subject, for sure, but also a tale of a love so deep that He would be willing to do that so His Love would know peace. Even knowing that He would be branded as a Murderer for doing it. You felt the emotion in Her voice... That, combined with the memory you mentioned was enough to bring tears. this is one example of Aurora's ability to convey emotion through Her songs! She has an Amazing Talent! This was a Great reaction man! Don't feel like you need to apologize for anything! Keep being Awesome! ... P.S... May I suggest that You react to Runaway Next to help You bounce back from this one? I recommend the official video from Auroras KZbin Channel rather than one of the live versions. The scenery and 18-year-old Aurora were both incredibly Beautiful in it!

[@SweenyTV]

Thanks for the nice words Gene, Runaway is on the list

[@BartholomewHunt87]

Dude I had the exact same reaction to this song, It hit the same spot. Same interpretation. I had to take off my headphones and come back to it later

[@alias46913]

Yep. Had the same reaction you did. I weep like a baby every time I hear it. I knew about the context of the song prior to hearing it but definitely can see how it would manifest feelings of having to end a life, a pet in your case. I also have been in that position and it’s never easy and certainly heartbreaking. I can tell you’re an empathic and well meaning person, which is why your reaction was the way it was, and I’m glad for it. We need more empathetic people in this world more than ever. The vocal technique that Aurora has is beyond amazing, the control she has over her voice. She blows my mind every time I hear her. She does some covers of Ariana Grande, Massive Attack, and Imagine Dragons that is pretty amazing too.

[@yojimbe1]

This was posted on another channel about this song. It was posted by Coyote. 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 then 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.

[@nestler4936]

I get goosebumps and tears with this song, and her singing it everytime i'm like 😲😱

[@realmusic962]

This song hit me hard profoundly as well: With her family bedside including hubby, it was I as the eldest sibling who's decision to end life support the agonizing choice fell to. It was both horrific and strangely peaceful. Horrific to see my best friend and sister pass before me yet calming to whisper loving assurance and assist her journey. After discerning the pain in each previous breath it was astonishing to feel her final breaths as accepting, relaxed and an un-explainable peace came over me and I knew all was well for her on the new journey. Aurora's ability to capture such deeply soulful experiences, in my opinion comes from her extreme connection to nature, synchronicity and authenticity.

[@SweenyTV]

It's difficult to find words to tell you how sad I am that you had to make that decision..but it seems like you have come to terms with it to be at peace with yourself. The situation I defined in my reaction certainly hurt and like yours, I have dealt with the emotions...it was necessary... thanks for watching and commenting.

Some of her songs are really very sad. Others are the opposite. I suggest you Aurora-Daydreamer Live at Haik. Which has a much more happy and upbeat vibe.

[@SweenyTV]

Yes, a happy song next, I'm a total wreck after doing this one. lol

[@Geralt26]

Usually I recommend live versions of Aurora but I really love official video for a Daydreamer.

[@lauraannzumwaldearriola3566]

Can you imagine the soldiers for war coming across a little girl and knowing that if he turns her in she could be physically pillaged so he kills her to save her from the torture of being a prisoner of war. Who knows really except aurora herself. But this is what I imagine as she sings this song and I always bawl my eyes out too! No judgments here.

[@Geralt26]

I understand what you feels and it is nothing wrong. Everyone interpret words and connect with different way. Also one of unique gifts of Aurora is to pass emotions and feelings. This is really sad and touching story = in case of Aurora it is nothing strange that you cried. When I first listen to this one my first interpretation was that she was sick and in pain and it was like euthanasia and it is very similar to your dog story, but of course it is about human and described from victim side. it is very very emotional due to this "victim side", lyrics and most important Aurora emotions and body language + her ability to pass it through music. Later i read she read such story in newspapers and she had to write about it. But even most emotional for me was unreleased song "Why did you have to go" which was made only in one (sad) purpose (and spread because someone recorded it) and it is very personal to Aurora.

[@gertwestblad9052]

She really got you.. And most understanding. 😪 Hope she didn't scare you off. 😏 She deals with many subjects that hits us in different but rather terapeutic ways. Try "Lucky" from Nidarosdomen, a song that deals with depression and self harming, but also about a way out and hope. She wrote most of it at the age of 9. Its not about her but things she reads and hear about and must write out of her head, so to speak. Aurora never wanted to become an artist, but her mother said she should share her thoughts with us. They might help someone. Rest is 10 years history. 🤗😊

[@rockape1954]

You need to watch the whole of the HAIK Aurora documentary (with English subtitles) you will learn so much about this wonderful artist and there is a special live concert at the end! The HAIK concept of taking artist out for a day to to get to know them and thank them is very nobel. I've watched a few.... Auroras day out an Ingrid Helene Havik (of HIGHASAKITE) are both really good documentaries!

[@scottishmob7982]

doesn't have to be a person. she leaves the meaning up to you. this is what we meant by Exist for Love is a little different for AuRoRa. and if you don't shed a tear during a lot of her songs, you don't get the song. Dance on the Moon-kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnOuh5aAmtt5ba8 thx Sweeny!!
