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

[@Mikaro527]

Imo Aurora's most beautiful trait is that there's no fear in her voice. Hearing her singing is exactly like hearing Nature; trees being blown by the wind, running rivers crashing into rocks, etc.

[@yanaantonio42]

this! you nailed it! no fear! that's it!

[@ninakaiser2930]

Very beautiful and accurate description!

[@lilaccilla]

Innocence

[@licasestivis]

I wish she would do more songs like this one.

[@JohnBrown-os7jo]

How true! It is her fearlessness accross the board that makes her such a great artist. She's magical!

[@KardelenÖyküSerman]

idk why, But in the first 40 seconds I already had tears

[@janineoliveira5544]

This song is hard to sing because is so emotional even to her.

[@sethlashley9469]

If that doesn't give you goosebumps....

[@treestand7994]

I think she is emotional in every song.

[@RicardoVanHouten]

The full concert is so emotionally good!

I love one of her interviews where she says to drop children off in the forest, and leave them there.

[@iana6713]

Her interviews are usually hilarious. I would love to have a conversation with her.

[@placidqualm]

just finished a concert featuring Aurora in Sky: Children of the Light It brought me to tears, I loved every one of her songs

[@sina4579]

Same! I barely knew her before I did some digging because of the game. This song is my absolute favorite so far! I have no words for this beauty! 🥰

[@aJ13_th]

This one song specifically through, I think it was battlefield or Eden, broke my heart.

[@doid4354]

@@aJ13_th It felt like the wars humans wage against each other. Choosing violence instead of vulnerability. Recognizing we were most human when we were children, when life was about loving and not surface level success…

[@Frikkyish]

Sky made me discover Aurora and when this song started playing I was sobbing like a baby, especially when she appeared with her fairy wings in the sunset, it was insanely beautiful

[@ceec165]

Yep, I will have this song played at my funerals. Maybe even this part of the Sky concert on video 😊

[@camden7806]

"Please don't leave me here." if purity and innocence are gone, what else is there to preserve and protect?

[@wisdomtoknowthedifference]

This song will always touch our inner child. It was meant to. If it is hurting, if it is happy, if it is alone. Thus the line, please don't leave me here. Please don't forget your inner child. You were once one. Even though we're older now, it seems like it was better to just be a child.. for one more time.

[@williamkincaid3465]

To Never Land...

[@AurorasWonderland]

I carry this song close to my heart ..it was the first one that brought me into tears and still does😢😍

[@larrypinkard2051]

Flavia Giuliana It puts me on my knees every time .I end up a beautiful trembling mess !Heals the inner child .Sends one within . Really powerful,cause it took me from being a monster to being a big baby in 3.33 seconds flat !I haven't been quite the same since the first time I felt Her music .

[@AurorasWonderland]

Larry Pinkard me too...I dont have conection with any artist OR music like I have with her...I like other artists and bands but never felt the way her music makes me feel

[@kennybob3096]

I don't understand it, this is the only song i've ever heard that made me tear up. I wonder if it's because i'm a parent. I've been listening to music since i was 5 years old, over 50 years and nobody has ever moved me like Aurora.

[@AurorasWonderland]

her songs are ageless..i think it the truth and heart when she sings that conects with us...its a powerful force of nature that i can't describe with words i can just feel

[@larrypinkard2051]

kenny bob She sings to the empath that is you . Being an empath is a beautiful,yet painful gift because you tend to feel joy and sadness all at once ! That is why so many feel connected to her music .It is felt deep within to those who have Hearts to listen with !

[@Didda3]

Earth has finally given something back to us. The most beautiful person, heavenly voice,passionate and in touch with herself and us. She captures the very essence of life and spirit. We all strive for perfection. Aurora is perfection. I'm 61 and finally feel at one with her music and passion. ❤

[@karupe9982]

cant believe this song is 4 years old, or maybe 5, 15 year old me found her and now im 20 and still cant stop crying to it

You guys are all so fortunate to have her. Impressive.

[@rwb_gary6355]

Just found her music at 37, I’m Irish but living in japan and have had a rough time for the last few years. I literally found her music an hour ago and I’ve had tears in my eyes since the first song. Incredible voice, I’m so happy I found this 🤍☘️

[@Sindrijo]

The best time to hear this is when the weight of the world is crushing you, this song helps you reach back in time, into your own past and reclaim some of it, the good parts, and not for nostalgia it's for you to grow further. We are the eternal golden braid.

[@ToyotatechDK]

Voice of an angel for sure. Impressive

[@martinmaccauley]

[@marieblue]

“Through the Eyes of a Child” (2016) reflects Norwegian singer-songwriter AURORA’s* (her stage name is stylized in all caps) core philosophy. She explained : “That song is about how I’d rather see the world through the eyes of a child because everything is a bit better. I care a lot about people’s inner child and I am very determined to NEVER LOSE MY INNER CHILD. I get why we need all these layers to survive. It is a very tough world and I think sometimes we forget that child, sometimes we lose it and I think that’s a bad thing.” 💙🎶💚 * Her birth name is Aurora Aksnes.

[@aelinalice9194]

The live version of this song really hits differently. One of the few songs I have ever heard that can move me to tears, I am so happy Aurora is alive, and sharing her gift to the world. She is such a wonderful human being, and I think I will love her and her music all my life.

[@jespellbnd]

2 years later, admittedly hiding under a rock and having discovered her only a few months ago, I voraciously devoured everything I can find about her and I found that she's truly MAGICAL and a most authentic, sweet and an exceptional true artist and as a person! I am now, with no equivication, is now a lifelong admirer and lover of her, not only her art and music but her total being!!!

[@MrPlymouthsundance]

Wow, what a beautiful performance. It feels like the tears are being pulled directly from your soul. Even the choir singers are trying real hard to hold them in.

[@hesapeach9149]

humanity doesnt deserve a soul, and a voice so pure

[@williamkincaid3465]

She is a shining example of what we COULD be.. Hold on to that hope just as a child.

[@minenkleadresse]

I think humanity deserves heaven on earth.

[@SetareAbdollahi-z5s]

A face as beautiful as the moon, a voice as beautiful as the sound of the sea❤🦋✨️

[@WhiteTiger333]

I just can't! I thought the stripped down version was the one to move me the most until I watched this performance for the first time. Man, if we had that kind of music and message in church when we were children, we wouldn't be crying rivers now as this beautiful song touches and wrings out "the pain we have soaked ourselves in". Yes, her music is magical, going right to the very soul.

[@clubpenguinmaster123]

I moved to a church that does this to me🥺 it’s magical

[@secretaugust829]

The world is covered by our trails Scars we cover up with paint Watch them preach in sour lies I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child Through the eyes of a child... Darker times will come and go Times you need to see her smile And mothers hearts are warm and mild I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child Through the skin of a child... When a human strokes your skin That is when you let them in Let them in before they go I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul With a childlike soul... Hey oh, oh hey Oh hey Ah-ah hey Oh hey Hey oh, oh hey Oh hey Ah-ah hey Oh hey Please don't leave me here

[@lovethyneighbor89]

Makes me think that people are born for a purpose. Aurora is a gift. She uses it well. I feel grateful that someone such as her is lucky to have been preserved to reach her destiny. I think about so many other gifted individuals who do not reach their full potential due to drugs etc… Aurora makes me ponder how precious people are and need to be preserved for greatness

[@dj_koen1265]

I can assure you drugs aren’t the reason why people fall apart They are merely a catalyst

[@dj_koen1265]

Although people who do drugs are already falling apart im pretty sure of that

[@greencontroller9692]

Her art is meant to be universal.

[@Lemanarmo]

I love how she gives that cute smile in the end while the audience and those watching this video are sobbing 😭

[@dharrison6504]

I can’t describe how pure this is. She literally taps into a primordial essence and channels it through her body, as natural as it is for us to breathe, for water to flow, for plants to reach for light. Ethereal isn’t enough of a word to describe this. At 3:41 she literally has to hold on to the stand as she releases one of the most beautiful things I’ve genuinely ever heard. She trembles cause she has let go at this point and is just letting it flow through her. I am beyond glad that I was born at a time where I could not only discover her but to live at the same time she did is an honor.

I look at this song in a different light, Think of a person that has lived their life and is looking back at all the experiences they have gone through in life, they are now coming to the end of theirs and with friends and family all passed/passing they are saying, its time to go. "Please dont leave me here", let me come with you.

June . 22 . 2021. I’ve been a fan of Aurora for almost 3 years, today i just click this video unintentionally and i’m in emotions now. The feeling i get exactly like the very first time when i heard this song 2 years ago, this emotion is really hard to express but i can tell you that she put all her soul into this song and nailed it perfectly, her soft voice, her breathe, the moment when she did the vocal lines as she brings me to heaven. She is getting famous and well-known at the current time, but i hope she will always keep this energy, this soul and voice. And few weeks ago i heard that her backing singer (Silja Sol) was lefting the band. All i can say is wish you (Silja) would be success on your own new adventure and be known as a independent singer.

[@lizea8181]

this is so beautiful i don’t even now what to say it’s like if it goes beyond your ears it touches your soul, it makes me cry, she makes me cry. She’s angelic i can’t believe she’s a human, Luna Lovegood from hp got the same energy as her, anyway i just love the way she’s so natural and wow. She got a powerful voice and she’s just wow, i can’t even describe her i want her to hug me she feels like a medecine, anyway she’s gorgeous.
