Aurora deserves a Nobel prize!

[@WeightlessBallast]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

[@corrob]

murder song from this performance is one the greatest live performances by anyone ever. she is living that song.

[@Tarkus_]

Thanks, Ashlena, for doing this and for the shoutout! 👍🤟 I think this concert was a masterpiece, and the only reason it's not mentioned in the same breath as Nidarosdomen is that it only has three songs. But those three songs are all 10/10, and their best versions, IMO. And two of them are among her most popular songs ever. This performance of Murder Song was one of the first things I saw or heard from Aurora, and I immediately knew that I was hooked for life. I could see that there's nobody like her, and I still consider it one of the best performances I've ever seen. It's crazy that she could be that good at that age, while being scared, but I think she was able to set aside that fear by losing herself in the performance.

[@theuniversewithin74]

What she said in Norwegian to the cameraman before leaving tells you all you need to know about Aurora: "Du må huske å ta en pause fra denne tunge kameraet. Hadet!". English:" You must remember to take a break from the heavy camera. Bye!" She thinks of everyone. 😊🤗

[@Geralt26]

Very true.

[@RunarNyrud]

​@@Geralt26Typical Aurora. If everybody in the world had used a few moments to look around them and SEEN other people and think about their well beeing like Aurora, the world might reach global peace ❤

[@devynbarat7777]

OMG! Thank you for translating that. That made me tear up. Typical Aurora. Love her!

[@ashlenamusic]

She’s so sweet

[@SociableAlarm]

I swear this version of Murder Song is my favorite.

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

That was so lovely... her big eyes and weird movements... so fragile and adorable. Nowadays she is much more secure on stage. But to be honest: sometimes I miss this little fairy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@walterF205]

Luckily we can count on this kind of time machine

[@celinel9750]

The thing that always impressed me the most about this concert is her choice of singning Murder song, in front of this audience, at the Nobel Peace Price, far from being a party song, as she never do anything with out a reason, she defintly wanted to bring awerness on either- domestic violence- or - mercy ending life- I wish I could ask her... Thank you 🙂

[@ashlenamusic]

I would like to ask her that as well lol

[@dwaynebrietzke]

I know exactly what you mean about the chills.... I have seen these performances a hundred times over now and I still get those chills every, single, time.

[@nobodi817]

This is the reserved Aurora. She shines like no one else.

[@rolfjamne8922]

All my demons greeting me as a friend maybe her best allbum IMO and maybe one of the best debut albums ever made.(19 years old)❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed!

[@salvatormund1]

I get full-body goose bumps too.... 😊 and Aurora is magnificent.

[@franZisPaOlo]

One of my favorite concerts of her, in my opinion the best "Runaway" and "Murder Song" Live performance!

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

This performance, along with Nidarosdomen and HAIK is considered by me to be the holy trinity of Aurora performances ❤😄 Awesome reaction, thank you

[@Tarkus_]

I agree with you, but I would expand it to five, and add KEXP Iceland and Honda Stage.

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

Agreed, but then it wouldn't be a trinity 😆

[@Tarkus_]

Murder song gets me every time. So beautiful

[@ashlenamusic]

It’s sooooo good

[@fns004]

this murder song performance hit me everytimee so beautiful

[@ashlenamusic]

It’s just so insanely beautiful

[@lolpalolo]

This is how I found Aurora, I love this concert so much ❤❤

[@devynbarat7777]

These numbers were only the 3rd, 4th, and 5th songs I'd heard/seen from her, after seeing Across the Universe and The Seed from Like a Version. In fact, I thought all her songs would be bare bones like these and was surprised to hear some of the more pop elements on the albums. Hearing Runaway will always take me back to listening to it in my car in the early spring when I first discovered her. Whenever I hear the song, I can feel the moist, mild spring air and smell the flowers.

[@ashlenamusic]

Awww I love that you can place the sights sounds and smells of when you first heard a song.

[@mariafoslihansen7801]

Why do i cry everytike i hear her sing😫 i cant cry when i am going to see her live in march my friend is going to think i am insane 😂

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s why I’m going alone 🤣 have the best time!!

This concert is amazing...She looks so fragile but still not. So young...so bold..In July she`s playing in Kristiandsand, Norway...and i will be there....Thank you.

[@ashlenamusic]

Omg have the best time!

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

I have to say, since subbing to this channel, and joining the discord, I've noticed how many of us are on the KZbin Aurora circuit. I run into you guys on almost every Aurora reaction video. It makes KZbin seem like a small world, and I love it. This concert is really interesting in the sense that many of us aren't used to seeing Aurora as such a tiny, frightened girl on a huge stage. When you think about how far she has come in her performances, it's really amazing. Edit: Interesting story about the Used - One of my oldest friends is good friends with Burt. Every time they come to our city, they call my friend up on stage to sing a couple of songs with them. I'm not personally a fan of the Used or that genre in general, but it was always interesting to see videos of someone I know performing with them.

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Yes, I see you often, just depends who watches the reaction first, right? lol, I too love the Aurora community here on YT. See you on the next one 😍

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

@@Oldperson-wt3ui Hello friend. ☺

[@ashlenamusic]

I love the KZbin community! The fans definitely stick together 🥰 I wouldn’t even know what to say if Burt was in my presence.

[@jbm1444]

Your expressions are so funny. I laughed when the video stuttered and you just frowned your eyes at us 😂

[@ashlenamusic]

lol. I’m definitely know for never having a poker face

[@kevinbrown3082]

The opening number is a cover of an Oasis song she recorded for the John Lewis Christmas tv advert one year. When virtually no one knew who she was and everyone, in the UK, knew who Oasis were. This Noble gig is incredible.

[@Geralt26]

Thank you Ashlena for another cool reaction for Aurora. This short concert is great. She was very nervous there but she sounds just perfect here and of course her voice, voice tone, expressiveness and songs are incredible.

[@afrisv]

That was a nice re-watch, and my favorite live versions of two of her songs 😊. Some of my favorite versions of her older songs are acoustic versions with just her and Odd Martin (sometimes also Magnus), and this version of "Murder song...." is just amazing. I regularly go back and check her Tiny Desk and The Red Bull Sessions version of "Warrior" among others.

[@ashlenamusic]

Unfortunately I can’t react to tiny desk concerts as they get blocked

[@Himchankwan]

Thank you!

[@kyleanderson7852]

I feel like this girl is a gift to the world given to us all at just the right time Her music helped me through a difficult time, losing someone I love in 2021 It seems like she has a key into the understanding of human suffering and she offers us comfort through her musical talents 😌

[@ashlenamusic]

I love that. Music has definitely helped me with people passing

[@ricimosny3169]

What an excellent performance for the fact that she was 19 years old and was so terrified of this performance, it's just a gem and we are very lucky to have her❤💜🧡💛💚💙

[@ashlenamusic]

So lucky 🥹

[@theuniversewithin74]

I enjoy you enjoying Aurora at Nobel! Murder song actually happened... That's why her theatrics are so livid. It's based on an actual mercy killing of a husband killing his terminally ill wife to release her from pain. Aurora is an ancient soul. ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Oh wow I didn’t know that

[@jeremyEasley-kc6wz]

Teardrop like a version

[@spiffymick7073]

In my experience when you listen to music in a focused and contemplative way you actually develop a skill of being able to connect to the music in a way that isn't always accessible without practice. It starts to become a form of meditation. Once you open the floodgates the deliciousness magnifies. It can absolutely be disconcerting at times 😮 Welcome to the special club.

[@deniselacroix3104]

The audience in this concert probably never heard of Aurora before. The only thing that Jay Leno had to say about her was that Katie Perry was a fan! You have to have guts to do a accoustic duo in front of strangers! Still I'm grateful that she did the "Aurora way". She always do things that fells right with her.

[@ashlenamusic]

I bet everyone loved her

[@StickyCatStudios]

😋 glad you liked; knew you would … I encountered her first without ever even having heard of her on Howard Stern, and he gushed over her performing Life On Mars in the studio for him; the next thing I saw of her was this performance, and it set the bar quite high for me with her, and it’s astonishing how often she clears that bar … BTW, the Bowie version she does alone on the vintage Rhodes organ is my favorite, but what she did on the Stern show was extraordinary (I recommend you go see it) as result, I’ve deep dived into her for several years now.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

I don't get the goose bumps but, very often with music, tears. These three songs made them run.

[@ashlenamusic]

Awww

[@johnnyshih498]

What a nice surprise! I was hoping u would check this concert out. These songs r the best performances she’s done of them. This performance of Murder Song was the first live of hers I watched and I was hooked ever since.

[@JohnHF1957]

Aurora is the consummate story teller. Ashlena, please get to the HAIK performance soon. As an incentive, here are two Aurora gems, 1/ You mentioned acapella, here is Aurora, in Amsterdam, with some stage banter and an impromptu acapella rendition of "Nature Boy" in response to a request from the audience (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z16vpXaYhbqiiq8) and 2/ Aurora singing two songs in Norwegian ("Vinterens Gate" and "Stjernestov") on a television charity concert (kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3_NnWdprKiIm6s). I hope you can find the time to watch and enjoy them.

[@tx0h]

hello ashlena. thanks for the double feature aurora tuesday and congrats that you saw one of the best 'murder song (5 4 3 2 1)' performances, when not the best.

[@davidplanet3919]

Aurora was nervous at this concert but loses herself in the music and delivered something magical. I’m going to see her in Bergen next year and can’t wait. Before then I think Aurora will release some more songs off her new album for all her W&Ws. 🧡🧡

Wow! Thats powerful!

[@arctic-1878]

Happy Aurora Tuesday! ❤ 3 Aurora reactions this week, what a time to be alive!

[@ashlenamusic]

Hahaha 🥰🥰

[@maxsteiner1964]

I really understand head chills. Its like every hair on my head stands up and there is a press behind my eyes and tears is just pushed out. Sometimes so hard that it actually hits my glasses. Mind you, I'm not sad or anything but the emotion is just that strong. Its a very wonderful feeling. Some artist do that to me. Pink Floyd. Kate Bush. Bjork. Peter Gabriel. David Bowie. Marilyn Manson (yes, him to) Jamie Dupuis (fellow Canadian Ash. Look into him) Tears for Fear. Keane. Eminem. A literal plethora of unknowns. But, above them all, for me, stands Aurora. Her music to be sure but that is only half the answer. Her personality is such a part of her music that its impossible to separate the two. Anyway, enough rambling. Aurora looks so much like a child here cos she was, and its been such a joy to watch her grow up. So I'm lucky to be alive. (see what I did there?)

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha love that. I’m also a Marilyn Manson fan his music is so good

[@stephengarbutt4759]

Hello, I totally agree with you about the camera angles and movements in a lot of concert footage. Also the bad interviewers, you can see Aurora's face with the terrible questions and comments, and it can be funny. Aurora is wonderful. She was thinking of being a scientist before being an artist, she was interested in physics apparently.

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s amazing! Let’s hope she keeps going with music haha

[@Kimberlyannkent]

Glad you got to see this, I have seen it before and it is my favorite version of Murder Song. I have not seen Aurora live yet, but when I do it has to be at a concert venue like this one and not the usual tour concerts she did this past year. I can’t take the crowds. Oh, and to your comment about choosing a favorite song - I just can’t. People post in the Facebook groups all the time asking for a favorite or top 5 and I can’t even do that. I have been listening to her for almost 3 years now and songs that were once closer to the bottom of the list (Murder Song being one of them at first) keep moving up to sometimes being my favorite at that moment in time. You are right - there are just too many damn good one to choose!

[@ashlenamusic]

Too many amazing songs to choose!

Thanks for commenting and reacting. I also LOVE this performance, especially the song „5 4 3 2 1“. I mostly listen to dodie and Aurora✨

[@ashlenamusic]

Murder song was just stunning in this performance

[@taccamine8312]

It's so nice to see a reactor that seriously loves and understands AURORA and her whole being❤. The part when she speaks Norwegian to someone after the interview is to the cameraman. She is worried about him having to carry the heavy equipment on his shoulders. And will make sure he takes a break🫠 I have to defend the camera movements a bit (Sorry☺️). It is from an event that is part of a celebration of peace prize winners. It's not so much about the artists. They're there to celebrate the winners too (A bit like a presidential inauguration). So the production must focus on the event as a whole.

[@ashlenamusic]

Understandable! So sweet of her to say that I was curious what she was saying

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Okay, I watched last night but was too sleepy to comment, so, I'm late to that party. Great reaction, I also don't like when they blurred her beautiful face, lol. Your reactions are always stellar in my opinion, I love this concert. Young, raw talent that she was then is a different kind of joy to the mature polished performer she has become, both beautiful to behold. Thanks for this very special Tuesday Ashlena, you are a joy too.

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww thanks 🥹

[@stephengarbutt4759]

Sorry, a follow up to my comment about the Lifekeys interview with Aurora, it's quite long, probably not for a reaction, I thought you would like to watch it for your own interest. Regards.

[@RunarNyrud]

I do not agree with you 😮 My opinion: It was not bad filming. Bad is when you are not good at what you do, but I promise you: the huge camera and production crew are fantastic at what they do. Like a restaurant; the best one in the world can make food you don't like, it does not mean that it is bad. This might be a language thing 🙂. I understand that you might be saying: I don't like the way they filmed it. And that is perfectly ok to think/say 😅. It was in 2015, so I am sure that was the "hot style" at the time... 😁 Keep up you fantastic work! ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

That’s true I remember back in the day the whole blurring and going into focus was a big thing.

Moin, und viel Liebe, aus Schleswig-Holstein zu Ashlena und allen Aurora Fans. P.S.: Wir Germanen sind schon seltsam. Für mich ist alles südlich der Elbe "Norditalien", die Bayern nennen mich "Fischkopp", die Thüringer/Sachsen/Schwaben/Hessen versteht eh kein Germane aus dem Norden, ABER : Ich Norddeutscher verstehe leider auch keine skandinavische Sprache (Skandinavier sind auch Germanen/kurz Nordmannen). Dänisch noch ein paar Sätze weil die Plattdeutsch ähnlich sind. Aber so ist es in Europa. Ich habe meine Nachbarn lieb!

[@ashlenamusic]

Happy for you! I need so much more music to survive lol

[@corrob]

while Conqueror on the tonight show is a great live performance, but it sits badly with me knowing, she only wrote that song for her record company because they wanted a pop hit. and she was basically forced to play it live, ending all her tv spots with it at the time. and she didnt like it. she hasnt played it live in many years because of that. dont vote for that one, imo..

[@devynbarat7777]

She has since come to peace with it. In fact, in the full Bejing meet & greet, it ends with Conqueror being played overhead, and Aurora is casually enjoying singing along with it.

[@kevdenn]

I've seen too many interviews where the interviewer asks Aurora stupid questions. He could have asked her about starting her career, her music etc, but no, he asks her about bugs and I'm sure she felt uncomfortable with that guy.

[@liamstrain]

He's a good scientist and science educator - he's not a good interviewer. :)

[@ashlenamusic]

lol sometimes we just gotta stick with what we’re good at
