She's one of the avatars of nature born every 1000 years to remind us that we came from the Earth and that the Earth will consume us one day, but also that we are part of the Earth and that all of us - humans, animals, plants, bacteria, even the air, water, soil and heat are all connected in ways we can't understand but have to accept in order to maintain balance.

My guess is Aurora got tired of sitting around on an island singing to passing ships to lure sailors to their death, so she opted to come to civilization and enchant people in mass numbers. This girl is magical. I've never heard anything quite like her before, and never had 100% of a singers songs be something I really enjoy, yet here we are.

But don’t claim that other people are affected by your faith, and that you can “confirm” that. That’s just incredibly rude and disrespectful to them and their beliefs.

[@danilles.4247]

Aurora actually said herself that she moves around so much during performance because she cannot contain the musical energy she feels. In her first 2 years of performing, she used to struggle with this and shake her hands a lot during singing. Later on she learned how to move and dance with it. She says the energy comes from the place music is comes from

"Life is so much better without shoes" -Aurora

[@NMEgames]

Explain pls

[@matsuiflex]

Aurora said that in an interview once. Look closely at her live performances; most, if not all, were done bare footed. Some believe that shoes are prisons for the feet and that they feel closer to Mother Earth without them on.

[@NMEgames]

Oh 😊

[@guitar_noodle]

I absolutely agree with that quote! When I was a kid I loved walking around barefoot. Even when I raced people I preferred barefooted. The feel of the earth, grass and more balance and control. I read a science paper on how the human foot is perfectly designed to walk barefoot. Shoes make our feet weak and fragile.

@@TheCharismaticVoice I've seen that happen on stage with her, at a concert in Utrecht. Every song she would shake her arms a bit, grab the mic, and prepare herself for going into the song and you'd see her expression shift when she got taken over by the music.

Into that magical musical place she creates. I'd love to experience that again.

I'm a metalhead at heart, but I have a very soft spot for Aurora's music. She is just so ethereal and her songs have so much emotion and deep lyrical meaning. Definitely a treasure. This song's music video was the first I heard of her, followed by Running with the Wolves, another great song. My two current favorites are I Went Too Far and The River.

[@jeffmalloy8200]

She produces both her music and her videos. If you really want to see her move, watch her performance of Conqueror on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon! The song is great but was co-written with some members of her band and has a little more commercial feel to it. Her performance of it was full tilt boogie and Katie bar the door! She loves to go raving and just dance with abandon.

Her hand movements may seem odd to others, but it tells me that she is so into the song that she is in a total different world. That she is alone pouring her hart out feeling every word and sound as if its burst of color and beautiful strokes of a painting. As if she stepped of the stage and into a empty space where she can be a hundred percent herself.

Its amazing that she shares that with everyone allowing other to see that and feel alone with her.

Fun fact: Aurora has talked about suspected/being tested for autism (though I think she called it Asperger's but, yk) and the hand and arm movements are something a lot of us do to process music! Some are more fluid, some only do it with clear notes, some of us get every note we can with our arms, wrists and fingers. It's bringing a tangible expression to our unique sensory experiences as a result of unique brain structure. :)

[@rachelann9362]

As a late diagnosed Autistic woman, she has helped me allow myself the freedom of stims.. at least in the presence of music that speaks to me. I get wrapped. It was long suppressed, and I felt so weird and self conscious about it and often shyed away from music. To see someone like her get wrapped up in the music so much she has to shake out the energy before she explodes, I can embrace a part of myself that was bullied out. I started listening to her before i was diagnosed, but I already knew i most likely was-I thought the same about her as well. She seems so FREE and carefree, unburned by the weight of feeling like you need to hide yourself. While I love her album tracks for consistency, she adds so much individual flare and energy to live performances of those vary same studio tracks that they almost feel like completely different songs.

Back again 3.5 yrs later to rewatch and listen to this beautifully enchanting song. When the struggle gets real, I need to hear things like this to ground me.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Welcome to the world of Aurora! No two songs are alike. No two performances are alike. You should see her now. She just continues to evolve at a wonderful rate. She sings with her whole body. When she first was dragged sooooo reluctantly on stage, she was, by her own admission, not only terrified, but tried to stand still, as she was told, but could not. Once she began singing, she always went (still does) completely into the song. She said the energy of it had to go somewhere, so it would come out as rather jerky hand and arm movements which she was unaware of until she saw herself on camera. Over time, she stopped trying to "stand still" and her movements became graceful and truly a part of the story she tells with every song. She is, btw, also an accomplished dancer, as you will see if you continue to review her music. :) And, no, no voice training. Dance training, yes.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I love that she just lets it all out. Beautiful.

[@shannynstrebe4298]

You get her :) You feeeeel her. It's pure. Nothing manufactured. Her movements are pure energy (possibly stimming). Aurora is a visceral experience. She is a gift.

[@orangeworm]

i'm with you on it being similar to stimming. i do the same thing when i'm listening or singing along to music, it really is just a way of regulating what you feel :)

Me too. She is just the loveliest soul.

[@durtski]

Am I the only one who got tingles down their spine when she hit some of those notes?

[@TheTulodog]

I normally listen to Metal most of the time. But Aurora has entranced me when I first listened to "The Seed". She is just so authentic and unique . It's so fascinating for me to watch her sing and perform. I would definitely recommend "Animal (Live at The Current)" and "The Seed - HAIK Concert 2019". I really love those performances.

Can confirm that the aesthetic resonates very well with metalheads \m/

The best choice for a reaction

[@wolffbites]

I am 78 and there isnt much in the music planet I have not listened to. I stumbled upon this after lsitening to her brilliant cover of Bowie's Life on Mars. Brilliant because she understands the narrative must dominate above all else and she is THE ONLY PERFORMER wise and gifted enough to let the words breathe within the melody. Unlike ANY OTHER PERFORMER who has covered this with pounding guitars/drums and voice to match, she understates and gently performs in her haunting way and you hear the wonder of the song and are embraced by her. Then I saw this and despite it being an analysis I found myself sobbing and emptied of all my emotions. What an amazing and truly rare talent and human being she is. WHAT A GIFT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.

[@weisserhase2]

I am crying, because her singing so beautful and you being so encouraging and loving

[@TheLarissaCoutinho9]

I'm deeply shaked and crying by seeing you reacting on Aurora's performance. It's so pure the way you feel her voice and for a couple of seconds go out of orbit and sudenly open a incredule smile. Thank you for that. For real.

I discoverd AURORA one year ago... by accident... on KZbin... I was so amazed by her concert at the cathedral. I listened to it again and again and again... and then I saw advertisement about a concert in Hamburg, my hometown... I went to see her. Since then I am under her spell... 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@ItsLycheee]

I’ve had the absolute honor of seeing Aurora live and when she sings you cannot help but become emotional. Whether happiness, sadness, or any other emotion - she’ll make you feel it! She’s absolutely enchanting to watch. I saw her in Seoul (I go to uni here and have been here for years) and when she sang Runaway, I couldn’t help but sob as I felt the song in my soul and how much I miss home. We’re both Norwegian and Runaway always makes me see my childhood memories and the beautiful Norwegian nature I grew up in when I close my eyes. She takes me on that journey home through my memories every time❤

[@ameagari__]

the first time i listened to aurora, it was 1am, i was ready to go to sleep, but was suddenly curious about this Aurora, that i often saw in my youtube recommendations but never listened to. i went on my phone, saw that she had this new album "the gods we can touch" and just started to play the first song. i was absolutely mezmerized the second i heard her sing, and i just sat on my bed and listened to the whole album, because i couldnt go to sleep, i was in a trance. she made me feel music like i never felt it before, and she is since then, and forever, my favorite creative and performer.

[@QueenSoniaLover]

I first heard her through sky. Im a major heavy metal person, hate pop and everything, but i heard her and was just enchanted. I love how different she sounds from now a days artists who all have the same singing voice. I love her songs.

[@JessicaSzempruch]

She is so comfortable in her own skin and her originality is awesome. I love the effortless transitions from chest to head voice, and back again. It’s not easy to do, and she is masterful at it. She is a national treasure, and reacting to more of her would be great to see. He live performance of Murder song is a must listen.

[@bethanybrookes8479]

I love how you can hear her accent through her singing.

[@KirsiKitten]

I am so glad this came up in my feed. Every. Single. Time you describe her, you perfectly capture it. She IS enchanting, it IS like a wood nymph, her voice is like this enthralling magical enchantment being cast over you, ethereal.

[@leeresglas5115]

First time I heard her, I also instantly fell in love with her. I don't know, she just has something that relates to me on such a deep level. Somehow you feel she might be your best friend, because she sings something you feel you can never really express

[@taylorscoggin]

I feel like with aurora, people try to break her down in her expressions (body movements and voice)... but when she records/performs she’s not saying “this is planned... I’m going to do this and that to make the audience feel a certain way or to sound a certain way.” She’s just bearing her soul and letting it flow out. I don’t know how to put it into words. It’s a natural expression of body and mind? Like an inner monologue being brought forward. Mind. Blowing.

[@MrLowbob]

actually she had a performance at "like a version" (you can find it here on youtube, i think it was with the song warrior) where she talks a little bit about why she is moving so much

[@Palitato]

People say negative things about her moving around like that, but I bet most of them do even more flailing around when they really let go and sing along to the radio in the shower or the privacy of our own rooms. Aurora just lets everyone see it.

[@kasunlee7489]

She's not signing, she IS the song. Thanks for the analysis!

Ok. It's official. I'm not crazy. Your expressions are literally mine when I first discovered this special soul. Words are useless, feelings are the only way...Aurora must be protected at all cost you would think but somehow I know she's far wiser than anyone that walks the earth.

Hi Elizabeth, I Loved this performance and your reaction! This is my 1st time listening to Aurora.

Hello dear Elizabeth! That was so nice to hear lovely word from one who understand voices for real. Also consider that she is very introverted and shy. When this performance was done, she really did not like large audiences. She was even close to quitting concerts. Fortunately, the worst has now passed. I have waited for long for this and it was worth it. Welcome to our loving family of AURORA. I hope the next one not take so long 😉😉 i suggest. Lucky in Nidarosdomen and that one is even more impressive. She wrote it when she was 9 years old. Arrangement is so beautiful that it hurts and her voice is extremly haunted and beautiful. I know for a fact that you would love it. 😉 But i am going to see this several times. Thank you 💚🇸🇪💚 again.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I'm so impressed by how she handled not liking large audiences! Her instinct to focus on her message made the performance truly magical.

Best way to describe it, Aurora gets lost in music. I can relate. Close your eyes, allow yourself to be drawn into that magical place where music moves you. The expressive dance is a result. It's almost impossible to remain still once you're there. It really is a nifty little place and I like it very much.

Incredible, she is just herself completely. No filters, real, raw, magical. We all have this magic inside of us, but we forgot about that, she is reminding all of us, how beautyful a being is, if it is just pure. I love what she is doing and how this music makes me feel. An artist.

[@DorrySkog]

She started learning music (piano) when she was six and started writing melodies. When she was nine (when she had better understanding of English) she started writing songs. I love Aurora, she is so unique and magical and I would definitely recommend "MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1)" also at The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. It's amazing and my favourite song.

I've seen Aurora live three times now. First time was 2016, way in the beginning of her career, right after her debut album came out. You could see that she was a bit inexperienced on stage, but not at all uneasy. Very much a natural. She got a LOT more experienced in that next year. I love her music! Oh, she's also done a version of Bowie's Heroes. And also Oasis' "half the world away".

Thank you, Elizabeth, for introducing me to AURORA. I have spent the last two days listening to everything of hers on KZbin. Like others this song brings me to tears every time I listen to it. I just listened to AURORA going through the song and breaking down the lyrics. It’s fun to hear her be thankful to her 11 year old self. She says every time she sings this she learns more about herself and the song. I was touched when she talked about “going home” and how she remembers that being in her mother’s arms is the safest and most comfortable place to be. I know my daughter feels that about her mother. What a magical, mysterious, and wonderful position to hold in a child’s life! I found AURORA will be performing here in Denver, CO in May. Now to see if I can get a ticket! I’m thankful for all the commenter’s that have helped me make the decision to attend!
