Are we sure about the last two because Aurora’s explanation of the myths behind each song missed out This Could Be a Dream and A Little Place Called The Moon, didn’t it?

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

[@MYSTERIOMUSIK]

It's such a beautiful thing when an artists work can't be put into words.... Aurora is kinda like Sophie in that her music is a feeling as opposed to a statement. There's statements in the music but the driving force is that feeling. Its.... magic and I think Aurora herself would agree.

[@alvezu]

I was waiting for this!!! YAAAYYY!!! 🤗🤗🤗 I totally agree with you! When I heard "a dangerous thing" I also had the idea of addiction in my head. "You keep on getting better...I keep on loosing feathers" wings being a symbol of freedom. Wine gets better with the time, but people who are dependants become enslaved by it, by the "illusion of love" it creates. Loved your reaction as always...of course. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@_KungFuBarbie_]

I think my favorite of the “new” songs (non singles) as of right now is “A Temporary High” I was SHOCKED by how well 80s vibes fit her style.

[@wronglever8130]

Yeah it's either that one or This Could Be a Dream for my favorite non-singles. I like to describe it as "the best song ABBA never wrote"

Loved your in-depth reaction and commentary! AURORA is so interesting and surprising! a GREAT ALBUM!

[@mariomolina505]

I always watch this reaction as much as I can hahaha, there's three extra songs, one of the is on CURE FOR ME VINYL and its called POTION FOR LOVE, the other two songs are added on the VINYL VERSION OF THE GODS WE CAN TOUCH and they are: THE WOMAN I AM (inspired by goddess Era) and DEVIL IS HUMAN (inspired by Hades), they're masterpieces sonically and Lyrically!!!!

Thank you Fern for reacting to the Album! As usual, your insights are amazing. Also, I LOVE THE OA! it's one of my faves. I was really pissed they canceled the show. I really like the song "i wish i knew" in the OA.

[@rolfjamne8922]

Bandoneon is a kind of acordion and its often used in Tango. So it would be fair to say it sounds Argentinian. Listen to Libertango (Grace Jones)and you will recognise the sound of the instrument or the original by Astor Piazolla. Love your channel ❤

[@Posisinia]

Siiiiii al fin alguien

[@evelynbaclig5809]

How I love you and your reaction to Aurora's new album...You see the love in every song which I think is the core message of her album...Thank you..

[@Geralt26]

Yea. At first moment was not sure about some songs and some grabbed me right from the start, but now I love whole album. It is harder and harder to choose which songs like more. For sure Everything Matters was my favorite and maybe still is but for with Aurora songs it is always hard to put all these great songs in order and hard to tell which one is better from which one :).

[@kian7388]

I love your interpretation of exhale being put before inhale. Makes so much sense 💡

[@andrewabernethy4500]

I looooooove the way you talk about music. This album is so vibrant and emotional. A really beautiful display of human existence at its core, if that makes sense? It makes me feel connected to myself again when I listen to her music. Also, from a music theory standpoint (I’m a music theorist myself), the trills you mention are more melismatic (which you mentioned), or double neighbor figures, than the true definition of trill. Trills usually only involve fast repetition between two notes. They can be embellished at the start, or end, but normal only involves two notes. I apologize if you know this, but sometimes these fine details help us be even more specific and descriptive when we talk about music. Thank you for talking about music deeper than face value. Love this reaction ❤️

[@FernStone]

Thank you so much for that info ! Yes definitely more melismatic! Really appreciate you commenting this . I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction x

[@apotionforlove]

I follow your channel since you started to react to Aurora but i'm not sure i ever commented before, i absolutely love your reactions and how you interpret the songs! it really helps me understand them further or just see them from more than one perspective. Sorry for never commenting before, but it was lovely! i honestly adore how enthusiastic you are about her songs and what they mean, everything! thank you for being so lovely as well

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Dern, Darling, so she did it again! Aurora nailed once more some thing we have to listen to several times she's telling us something, actually reminding us things we already know and feel but we somehow managed to bury beneath layers and layers of sour lies the BigBoss keeping us crawling forr forgiving Aurora is a wise sweet and very powerful lady of our day you get some Buenos Aires airs, and some Enio Morricone spaghetty western vibews as well very well done another Aurora's jewel a masterpiece

[@Einyen]

They mentioned in an interview about the "Exhale Inhale" vs inhale exhale. Apparently "Exhale Inhale" is from grief counseling, which Aurora also have experienced it sounds like, probably since she lost several people close to her during the years, which was revealed in interviews. So it is meant to show grief for Mother Earth and the climate situation probably: youtu . be / dK-FJeA3kiw&t=595s Carmen Holt: "You usually hear it in reverse: Inhale, Exhale, like if you are in yoga class: Inhale and exhale. But I have recently had an experience with grief, and it was actually exhaling, that came first." Aurora: "Yeah, it is the exhaling that comes first. I have experienced the same."

[@wronglever8130]

After blitzing through dozens of reaction videos upon discovering Aurora last year, yours was the first one I came to for this album. Gave myself a good dozen listens or so first, to form my own opinions, and I gotta say...you really nailed it. Once again, the passion, authenticity, insight, and enthusiasm that you bring are just perfect. Thanks for posting and for being you :-)

[@maxsteiner1964]

I really like your work Fern. I'm sitting here with my wine and getting quite drunk and just enjoying this. Love from Norway.

[@Lene-Lene]

I just wanted to comment on one thing, about exhale inhale. When you hold your breath and have to breath, its not because of lack of oxygen, but it is because of the bild up of co2, waste, that needs to get out. Out with the trash and start fresh. When babies are born, it's about the same, they have to empty theyre lungs of water, and only then are they able to take the first breat to cry. So there is no air, but still they have to "breath" out the waste to start life. I just think it adds to the song to know this.

[@frigiegelida5493]

Wow! This is by far the best reaction video of The Gods We Can Touch album. You really dove into the meaning of the songs and took it apart. Thank you so much!!❤

[@stephen-martin-sunderland]

Just come to bed and going to watch your reaction now as no doubt I won't be able to sleep again! Anyway 'You Keep Me Crawling', 'Exhale Inhale' and 'A Dangerous Thing' are just amazing. After a few of the early single releases and hearing this was a 'fun' and 'playful' album I was a little worried I'd really not like it. I love her dark and ethereal tracks the most but she has absolutely nailed it. Her and Magnus have done a brilliant job on the production keeping it all cohesive somehow despite each track having such a unique style for the most part.

Love your Aurora reaction as always 🥰 When it comes to “Everything Matters”, Pomme sings only the french bit (beautifully), with Aurora on the backing vocals. Aurora sings the rest herself, cause she do love to use layers of her own voice 😉😍😍 Just to think about that “Exist for love” is her first love song, that’s quite incredible. Cause almost every artist sings about love, but not Aurora 🧝🏻‍♀️ She something else isn’t she?❤️ I love this whole album, it’s a 10/10 for me, even though I had really high expectations 😅 But our beautiful godess is not able to make bad music, she’s a musical genius ❤️ Here she talks about most of the songs on the album 🥰 kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5uTlnRje9Vgppo

"Fucking amazing!" You said it sister

[@FernStone]

Hahahaha yes 🙌

[@nevamoore5192]

I really loved your interpretations. They brought a lot more depth into the songs for me and gave me new perspectives to chew on. Thank you for that. Your take on Blood in the wine was interesting to me. To me it was about an actual mother who was depressed and held down by the burdens of her life. This made her cold and abusive to her child. The child can sees this and while they are hurt by all the mother has done to them. Their heart goes out to her, they understand and try to reach out, try to wake her up, get her to realise that she is more than her pain. That her child is more than their pain. To reawaken love and foster healing. But it hurts, being close to her. And there is uncertainty that she'll ever wake up again.

I think ''heathen'' could be study in feministe degree at university, Aurora put so much in it, heathen as forbiden, as banish cause Eve bit the friking apple all women were (and still are) seen as heathen by patriarcal religion who blame women for all the sin, so she sing to us to be proud of being a woman and be thankfull for all of those who came before and slowly but surely faught for our place, and also tell us to have fun, enjoy and be that heathen without any shame. (My point of view)

[@Sam-oy6ji]

Love the album and your reaction but just wanted to clarify, we always had free will. If we didn't, Eve (and Adam ofc) wouldn't have been able to get the apple in the first place. Eve and Adam eating the apple stopped us from ruling over the animals as we used to, chilling all day, and stopped us (at that point) from having everlasting life. Album is a beautiful masterpiece regardless of this little misunderstanding!!!!!!

In heathens, for me, i think Lilith would be more fitting than Eve but I guess Aurora was referencing from the modern bible.

[@serphim805]

Lilith is not of canon of any Abrahamic religion. never present in Christianity, and only referenced in hebrew texts separate from canon scripture. also, she is a demon who eats babies and kills women in labor, and described as a "tormentor of the Jewish people", I wouldn't consider her someone to look up to or to praise😅

[@rosemay75]

Yes… I wonder if Aurora knows about Lilith? Surely?! 🤔

[@rosemay75]

@@serphim805 the story of Lilith has been demonised by Hebrew scripture. She is actually also mentioned in the book of Isaiah. Aurora is celebrating figures in mythology as Lilith is such. She is definitely not giving any weight to religious scriptures as a measure of credence. Quite the opposite. Lilith was simply Adam’s first wife, created at the same time as he, who simply chose not to be obedient to him and exited the garden of Eden to become later paired with the archangel Samael. She rejected the idea of a subservient wife and the role of motherhood choosing independence. Yes she stole babies but the creative stories around that were to brainwash women into believing that there is no other life than to be subservient to a husband and be nothing else but a baby making machine. The archetype of Lilith must not be forgotten and honoured.

[@serphim805]

@@rosemay75 you’re correct, she was mentioned in isaiah in a roundup of demons, but other than that there are no canonical sources proving she was the first wife of adam. if you do find any, let me know! but i think it’s wrong to say that she was a symbol of breaking out of patriarchy, when the term “lilith” is still debated if its origins were even meant to be a singular entity or if lilith is just a range of feminine presenting forms of demons. the etymology of it is actually quite fascinating.

[@serphim805]

@@rosemay75 i agree with your point about aurora celebrating mythology and i think it’s wonderful but i do know a lot of people who would take the glorification of lilith in particular to be anti semetic, since her purpose is causing pain for jewish people. i personally don’t take offense to it, but i do try to help people understand judaic mythology in its true light
