AURORA - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) [REACTION]

[@simonturner138]

Dont worry about the tears man. We've all been there many times.

[@jollyo9276]

She takes me to that place every time I listen to it.

[@steves7102]

EVERY time with this song

[@Guy1105Fawkes]

This one, and It Happened Quiet, especially in this concert, are always a powerful experience. I WISH I could explain it...I can't

[@simplydifferent7712]

We all can be very tough guys, but hearing this we all break... So beautiful! Im almost 46. I've seen reactions of men over 70 who got in tears about this song. Wow!

[@jessicathompson2895]

I wish I could give you a hug.

[@jamesstubbs2228]

In 57 years I have never heard an artist who so consistantly touches my soul. I have tried many ways to describe that feeling ( but have always been left wanting ) I just call it the Aurora effect. Keep on enjoying the journey. Loving you reactions.

[@Dkalasja]

same, Aurora effect🙏

[@Myrren33]

Same here... I know the reaction is long ago, but i just came here to hear her and see his reaction... this effect is to me like.... "she is singing out of me" not to me. This is how it feels to me. Her voice and compositions triggering mystical stuff of everyone... just whow. She is and must be a unichorn in human form. :)

[@andrewwilson45]

Don't hold that shit back homie. If this song doesn't touch you right in the soul then you're missing some pieces I think. Aurora is as close to magic as music gets. This is sorcery

[@prettyflacko211]

I keep tell people bro for the 100 time she’s the best singer/songwriter alive no debate tell me who’s writing songs like this worst her age Fam she my favorite artist in the women category…..♥️

[@juliasanchez9055]

I respect the hell out of how you are strong enough to be vulnerable and human on camera. I love authentic reactions. I'm going to subscribe.

[@j.k.1963]

This is what I often observe with the coolest guys and girls reacting to Aurora. The truth, honesty and magic within her art hás to affect you, it can' t be ignored. ❤

[@TomTomson81]

Aurora hits all of us. For me, the statement here is less the desire to be a child again and to be ignorant, but rather to remember the values ​​you had back then. As a child, race, gender, and other things were not relevant to everyone. You were more open to other people and unreservedly nice to each other. At most you argued about toys or because you didn't want to go to bed in the evening. I think that's rather the point of the song.

[@John-gv2ug]

I think you may be confusing ignorance with innocence. Children aren't ignorant. Ignorance is lack of awareness or deliberately denying the obvious. If childhood is ignorance, why do so many people look back on their childhood with fondness? We look back on the innocence. There are many things that we don't fully understand when we are children, that is not the same as being ignorant.

[@TomTomson81]

@@John-gv2ug He used the word ignorance in connection with childhood in the video. I just picked it up and said that it wasn't in my opinion. If then in connection with race, gender etc. than they are ignorant, what is positive. I think you might be the confused one here.

[@sarlina1]

Agree. Or going back to the time in your life where you hadnt yet discovered how cruel the world is. From all the wrongs we do with nature, to all the wars around the world. How much hate there is in it. That is for me what the song is really about. Innocence, not knowing how bad everything is. Me, I personally hurt. I hurt seeing all the bad things. Thinking of all our wrongs. I worry. Worry that we will destroy each other. Our planet. This world needs healing.

[@dominicconnor3437]

She definitely goes right to the heart. That feeling is her trying to heal people.

[@RAJJ1987]

This song is such a good reminder to try to delete and remove all the bullshit we have inside us. All the prejudice, all the negativity. This is the call of the phoenix, to be born again and look at life differently, with new eyes and see the magic of being and value life again. It's so easy to get stuck in a routine and thought patterns... thank you Aurora.

[@britthelenbakken819]

I think the magic about Aurora is that she still have that childlike wonder. If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, even as an adult, then the world would be a better place.

[@Kennyl10UK]

I’m 32 and this song gets me every time

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Sweet and gentle Aurora is wise yo......and she has the Magic.....she knows

[@gingerplantfairy]

!!!!!

[@dmwalker24]

And we know it too. Down to our bones.

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

@@dmwalker24 We sho doo!

[@Guy1105Fawkes]

As I previously said, MANY times, this is one of her songs that ALWAYS leaves me crying. The kinda scary thing is that she can touch something inside my being when she sings, and I can't place that something anytime else...she doesn't even needs words, her vocalisations speak to me, to a "me" that I lost contact with, and I really wish I didn't.

[@catlee3730]

Most of us have cried with this one, all of the versions, many of us many times … It's good for the soul to immerse in it and let it wash over you like a soothing balm …

[@dyazkiprit]

the way you feel this song, the look of your eyes, i can see a lot of pain there, you must be a tough man, a tough man after through a lot of things in life, but deep inside you, you're tired and just want a rest, a peaceful break from the hardness of life. your tears is a prove that you have a gentle heart, I just wanna say it's never too old to keep our inner child alive no matter how small it is, and when we have that small piece inside us, it's like a remedy when something bad happened, because through the eyes of a child, we see everything simpler as it is. keep happy and healthy. ❤❤❤

[@MrBedZeppelin]

As the heart fills, it needs to spill over, let it flow brother, nothing more cleansing, than a good cry, no shame, always welcome. Aurora is the perfect catalyst, to trigger, this heart reaction!

[@chucknorris5141]

Tear up every time, bro. Respect.

[@Rackelhane]

Aurora the most beautiful of the northen lights! Thanks for reacting!

[@nivesh2898]

I just love her

[@FlowerFaerieLottie]

Your reaction is so pure and beautiful!

[@absolutezero5440]

this artist and her voice along with her words have touched my soul and reached to the deepest parts of my sorrow, happiness and frustration like no other artist has. no song has put me to tears of sadness and almost making me want to cry out. I would listen to one last song by us the duo and Not even that song has reached out to me like this one has. Even if it makes me think about my lovely future with my partner and what is to come. I'm so thankful to be alive in the moments of this wonderful person who preaches such words.

[@Hysemannen]

She was 11 when she wrote this.

[@annebritraaen2237]

It's a reason Jesus said you need to become like a child again to get to heaven. You described the state of mind perfectly. I regard it as a promise.

[@leod2408]

Quote from the Haik documentary: The song means a lot to me. I got into a bubble where all I saw was all the evil the world had to offer, to get it out of my system I wrote the song.... And what a song, I dare say it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! Super reaction, thanks

[@fredk3710]

Here you can watch the part of the HAIK-documentary when she is explaining the meaning of "Through the eyes of a child": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJDYiGBmfamKpcU

[@ispbrotherwolf]

Your tears shows that you are still human. I feel a lot while I hear Aurora. Take care :-)

[@akersjon278]

Yup, you ain't wrong about the cathedral being very cool. All Norwegians are extremely proud of it. It stands in the town of Trondheim and it's 850 years old, built in the Gothic style. The west outside wall is covered with stone statues and is one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Norway. It's been ravaged by age and fire through the years but is still standing proud after multiple renovation efforts lasting several years. The building itself is so heavy that parts of it has sunk several feet into the ground over the centuries. This is most evident at a little side door that was built with a step down to the ground. That door is today a couple of steps down from ground level... It's certainly worthy of a visit if you ever come to Norway.

[@zeandch9126]

best reaction! I cry too...it was amazing!

[@bijolicideris1293]

I agree with you man. I would rather go back when I was a kid than to witness what's happening to the world today. I want to go back when I was still ignorant of all the hardships of life. Oh Aurora...this song got me too.

[@bryonburrell9509]

A shot straight in the feels fam!! We all should hold on to our inner child and try not to let "adulting" wear it down. This whole concert is gold!!

[@SuperMilner1]

And I prefer to call her the magical angel fairy!

[@ashleycrislip]

Everyone cries when we watch this. I did the first time last year. So beautiful

[@TheEricBooth]

Your reactions have turned into much-needed therapy for me. Thank you.

Hi, Please add your suggestions in the googleform. You can find the link under every video. Thanks

[@jollyo9276]

Childhood is so precious and unreplaceable. Ever the worse then to think of those poore ones having it robbed away. Surely a piece of wonder this creation. True art.

[@celinel9750]

The amazing thing about this song is the fact that the part without word is almost as long as the ''lyrics'' part, but cary as much emotion. And you know what? She is not ''that'' magical, (according to her) she's just saying thing that we all can feel, the magic is in everyone, she is just opening our doors and reveal ourself to us, that is her super power. And listening to you explaining how you feel since you becam a Warrior and Wirdo (the Aurora fan) her magic works on you too, reaveling yourself to yourself, without judging you, without expecting from you, just reconecting with you. Have a nice journey my friend.

[@tinntinnamp]

Aurora is truly a wise, intelligent, empathetic and caring being. I love your reactions of her!

[@pkornbak]

Great reaction, and she really knows how to make a grown man moist his eyes!

[@TheNakedWombat]

There is not a dry eye in the house when Aurora sings. Her voice is healing.

[@happytrails5342]

The years seem to go by so quick, But every time I come back to these videos, the experience is never less.

[@shawnc666]

I don't know what that was.... But I love it...... There ya go......you finally put it into words my friend......and I agree.... I'm 6'3" tall and around 270 lbs, and this makes me cry 'every' time.... It's all good......

[@Geralt26]

Yea. I agree and Aurora is able to keep this childlike soul. It is not only about hate and adult problems, but to see beauty in simply things (and notice them) and be amazed and happy with it. And of course i am never bored with Aurora and always like to watch reaction about her:).

[@danalynch8889]

I've lost track how reactors to this video I have watched. But the tears flow every time. I can't remember hearing something so beautiful.

[@RunarNyrud]

What a reaction! She truly are a different kind of human.... Magic....

Aurora is a High Efl.. no doubt ,,

[@olgaramirez7739]

You’re a beautiful soul. Thank you for listening to Aurora. She is truly an angelic artist. She unconditionally loves and heals peoples spirt and soul.

[@Kevin_Lyon]

It is called the Aurora effect a calmness as you ascend to a higher plane of existence or she just puts a spell on you either way she's unique and magical and she gets you !!! Great reaction !!! 😥😢🤧🤯😎.

She is so pure!!! She touches everybody’s soul with her magic, oh I love her

[@veronicaambler1846]

I've lost count of how many times I've watched this performance, yet every time, without fail, I end up in tears. Heart-and-soul-achingly beautiful x

[@WhiteTiger333]

I wonder how many rehearsals it took before her back-up chorus stopped bursting into tears while practicing the song. Maybe the sheer "terror" of the live performance saved them :D

[@Suamt]

In my interpretation, in the end where she sings please dont leave me here alone. I think she is talking about the inner child that still exist inside all of us. We have to reach inside and take care of our childlike soul and embrace who we are and who we where.

[@samburnstoast]

Literally each time this has me balling. Magical.

[@tommyechoes3520]

20 kr is nothing but it is hard times. What i wanted to say to you tho, is people like you make alot of us having a better day. Actually hearing from another human beeing, beeing human. Fck. I look at alot of music and I come back to a few of your reactions. Thank you🤘

[@fadeaway5839]

Thank you for this reaction, I also wish I could see the world through the eyes of a child, I felt what you did! This reaction was so pure and raw

[@elisecatrin6312]

When I was 9 my mental health got very bad, I’m now 14 and diagnosed with bpd, ptsd, depression and ocd. I know I will never have a “proper “ childhood.. I just wish I could live for once. I also had anorexia but luckily I’m 100% recovered now!:)

[@_prtcs5124]

I really love how you react to Aurora's songs, it's very genuine and authentic. Thanks man. I really learned a lot from your words

Thank you so much for your great reaction to this amazing performance 🙂❤️ This is the most beautiful song and performance I have ever seen 🥰🥰 I never get tired of it. You are one of my favorite reactors and I wish you a wonderful weekend 🙂❤️

[@Ann-Lisbeth_Negaard]

Love to watch your reactions, specially to Aurora and Angelina❤ So much emotion in their music and in you. Love it! I' m healing too❤

[@s_amylee]

Aurora has always said that she believes your inner-child is one of the most important parts of yourself, and sadly so many people lose it. You should checkout Winterbird and Under Stars from the same concert!

[@detlef741]

They never lose it. They just forget its there.

[@yootoobdude]

Bro I was sitting right there with you tearing up. This song hits hard af.

[@monastbypettersen5620]

[@klaskeM1986]

Its so beautifull and nerve toutching my god' I dont even know how to describe the emotions I felt during this masterpiece ' her angelic voice and her whole performance the true words in this song. This young lady knows how get peoples attention and let us listen ' and from what Ive seen so far with other songs" is my impression of Aurora that she wants the world to be a better place 🪷🫶

[@lynne5322]

Mr. Highly Combustible - I appreciate your sensitivity so much. Have you heard Aurora's 'Different Kind of Human" yet?

[@roddiener]

Could you even imagine a collaboration between Aurora and Angelina Jordan, the two Norweigans, I don't know what they would do but I'm sure it would be earth shattering...... Nice reaction, this one gets me e everytime.

[@HighlyCombustibleReacts]

It may very well tear the veil between the magical world and our own world....I don't know if we could handle that at all!

[@Einyen]

@@HighlyCombustibleReacts You should watch this a cappella version of the song privately: youtu . be/CFzExUN1N8I With just Aurora's voice and the heavenly harmonies with her crew, it is just as magical as this version, but in a different way (and she looks even more "elven" or "otherworldly" in this video in my opinion). Btw the church council said no at first to this concert in the cathedral, something about pop music was not for a church. Now it is a legendary concert, and someone wrote it was shown on national tv (NRK) every Christmas since then (it was recorded Nov 2017, and shown at Christmas 2017 for the first time). I think we might be very lucky to have Aurora and her music with us, considering some of her early lyrics, like "Awakening" is literally about a girl/woman about to drown herself, and from "Lucky": "Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive" and from "Winter Bird": "All I need is to remember, How it was to feel alive" She said in this interview youtu . be/Bb9J68FSjo0&t=9m30s (CC for subs): "I thought a lot about death when I was a child. I remember that when I got nice things for my birthday, I would get sad. Because I thought 'But I'm going to die one day! What will I do with this thing then?!'"

[@John-gv2ug]

A superb reaction. This performance, in this setting is simply an artistic masterpiece. There are artists with huge contracts and multi millions of records sold who do not come anywhere near this very, very special young lady. When Aurora articulates her vision, she can break your heart, then produce a sweet smile that let's you know that everything will be alright in the end. Aurora answers her own question from "Daydreamer", "I know I'm just a girl but can I change lives?". The "I think I can" that she states in her lyrics is in fact a most emphatic "YES", which is resoundingly echoed in all the comments to the many videos posted by her and about her. Continue they journey and don't forget to watch some of the interviews.

[@rx7dude2006]

Still my favorite song of hers.

[@rosemay75]

I think the next song for you is The River... It's about it being ok to cry to be happy & healthy. Aurora are no strangers to tears when listening to Aurora. That's what she is here to remind us to do... FEEL! :)

[@Juicehose]

HxC, she got to you, didn´t she ? Man, that song gets us all. Makes us think. And feel. Incredible !

aurora er vår stolthet, jeg bor i Sverige, men er halvt norsk. hun er blant de fineste som finnes, alle sangene hennes berører hjertet ditt. Aurora i hjertet ditt! at tårene kommer er helt greit, og jeg vet at aurora setter pris på det. Jeg er en ny abonnent på kanalen din nå :) Klem ❤️

The exquisite angel Aurora - totally enchanting and mesmerizing. Thank YOU Matt for reacting to this version of Through the Eyes of a Child which, in my opinion, is the best ..... I respect your comments and look forward to your reactions! ☮❤️ Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa

[@troedelgerry]

I just discovered this reaction video... and I can only recommend to watch the whole concert, it's simply magical, from beginning to end. The true highlights though - besides THIS one here - are Lucky (another song with a powerful deep message, written by Aurora at the age of 9 years (!)) and It happened quiet... check these out especially, when you want to react to other single songs from this concert. Best wishes from a German Aurora fan : Gerry

[@kerstinjansson5269]

I'm not hitting the dislike button on someone willing to open himself up on camera man. Great reaction. Hope you do Winter Bird and It happened Quiet... screw it, the rest of the songs from this concert as well. I'll be here for them all, i love this concert and i wish i knew about Aurora back then because i live 3 hours away from the venue. Ah well. I'll get a chance in August, though outside Nidarosdomen this time, not inside, but i'm betting it's going to be amazing :) Take care and stay safe.

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Lovely reaction.. heartfelt indeed ❤️.. try to hear her “ River”. She made that after she have heard about men and boys problem with showing feelings. She felt so sorry. She is a gift for all of us. Best from Auroras hometown Bergen, Norway ❤️🤗

[@jdb19]

Bless you, brother. It's truly a wonder how our tears express so many different feelings - from sorrow to happiness, from joy to sadness, but always with a hope and dream of better things to come and forgiveness for things already passed. When we finally learn how to live our lives with the heart of a child beating in our chests, we will be what we were meant to be. Thank goodness we have beautiful souls like Aurora to remind us of who we are.

[@Mick.Fitzmaurice]

Dude, I told you you won't be the same after watching this show. Great reaction brother. It makes no difference if you do it one song at a time, but you gotta do the entire show.

[@RG56538]

Beautiful reaction, you have become one of my favorite reactors. Must have heard this song and watched this performance hundreds of times and every time I tear up, especially at the end and that final lyric.
