Aurora- Winter Bird REACTION SHE HAS A METAL SOUL

[@BuckeyeCreeker1]

I saw METAL and I had to check it out! Love Metal and all genres of music! Ever notice the people that like all genres of music are usually kinder, funnier, honest and more Thankful smarter people? A collective taste in music is a blessing to us that love music! First time ever hearing Aurora and her voice is amazing and angelic! Really Loved this and your reaction. Love your honesty and silliness sister! 🤘🤠🤘

[@redheadedneighbor]

Lol. Thank you! Means a ton! you don’t even know!!

[@BuckeyeCreeker1]

@@redheadedneighbor I do know it takes the same amount of energy to be kind and honest to someone as it does to be mean and a liar! Appreciate you and you have always been the same to me and I will never forget it!

[@poolhallshark]

Metal is Aurora's favorite genre to listen to. Strange but true.

[@redheadedneighbor]

@@poolhallshark I can absolutely see it! It’s odd because she has a metal vibe all the while being a woodland fairy.

[@BuckeyeCreeker1]

@@poolhallshark I see why! Imagine some guitar riffs behind that voice?

[@devynbarat7777]

I am a metalhead with pretty diverse musical tastes, and I love Aurora! Aurora herself enjoys metal. She often names Gojira as her favorite band. She made an EP collection of some of her songs titled, "For the Metal People" In her words: "As some of you know, I come from the country sides of Norway. And though I may not always fit in here, I do understand one thing that all Norwegians love - heavy metal. I am very honored to have warriors and weirdos who can understand that heavy side of music with me. And enjoy the heaviness and depth and darkness music can offer us. Here is a list for those songs, who have contained so much emotion they came out of my heart as an explosion.🖤🥀"

[@quinjesuis9187]

Yes, I love the feel one gets from her style of singing, it's definitely has that other worldly vastness of the dream realm; which is limitless; because of the vastness of the mind 😊

[@redheadedneighbor]

I absolutely love this comment. Poetry.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five gold stars.

[@jailaye6929]

This is the official video (studio version) and it's awesome . . . . now, watch Aurora on the Honda Stage do Winter Bird. Still very awesome, but done differently. You will like it. . . . a lot, alot

[@timgrodesky4694]

Wonderful song choice today. This video version I have not seen before because the original has more choreography. Whether official or an unofficial video it does not take away from her stunning vocals and beautiful lyrics. Loved it!!

[@redheadedneighbor]

That was my focus!

[@tx0h]

well, as aurora is also a trained dancer it took a large part of her artistry, to say the least.

[@Rackelhane]

It`s great to watch Aurora with you. She is amazing...so amazing i hade to book a flight to Norway to se her concert in Trondheim in nov last year. Thank you!❤❤❤Cheers from Sweden.

@redheadedneighbor will be 16th 17th 18th show I have seen her she feeds the soul anything from Kepx Iceland set when you can.

[@redheadedneighbor]

@@markstuartwakeley okay!😁

[@ChrisJones-we4in]

I don't know how I would cope if I only liked certain types of music - my tastes are really eclectic too which means I can always find a song to suit my mood. Aurora just has this knack of getting inside your mind and making you feel the music deep in your soul and she is always one to make a song her own so the covers she does definitively have an Aurora stamp to them.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I’m happy to explore more!

[@Maizy1985]

Besides the genius of Aurora's songwriting and vocals, I love how clever the metaphor of this video is. For me it's how such sadness seems to envelope and isolate you as seen with what encapsulates her but it's also like a cocoon that she eventually breaks out of, reborn once she remembers how to feel alive again...does that sound weird? I don't know but at least that's what I get from it, I see this as my song as I lost my husband of 35 years and I really relate to this.😮‍💨😊

[@Roy-mw5js]

True artist Aurora ❤

[@redheadedneighbor]

She absolutely is

[@rael1999]

Love how excited and emotional you get about music. You seem to get what life's about and that's finding happiness in the simplest of everyday things. you come across as such a warm person whose always looking at that half full glass. The emotions you express are almost tangible which makes your channel so lovely.. Been into Aurora since her first single and I chatted online with her in the early days about how important it was to produce music/art that reflected you and not try and produce commercial work that was currently popular. Like Kate Bush I think Aurora has created her own unique niche that doesn't fit into a certain genre. I do hope success doesn't change or consume her because she comes over so well and the close connection between her and her fans is clearly reciprocated both ways.

[@redheadedneighbor]

I do expect her to change a bit but only because we all change as we grow and grow up. I feel that her intentions will remain pure.

[@redheadedneighbor]

[@redheadedneighbor]

[@nobodi817]

It must be torture to hold back from watching everything Aurora does. When I discovered her in 2016 I started watching everything and still do. The idea of waiting just won't work for me. You are very patient. Thank you for supporting my angel on Earth. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas and happy New Year if I do not get a chance to cover the holidays.

[@redheadedneighbor]

It is! Before I started reacting, I would find an artist that I liked and then listen to everything!! You have no idea how hard it is for me !!

[@tx0h]

[@avedic]

Same @nobodi817 I found her, via the Nidarosdomen show(what a way to start huh!?) back in March 2020....and it genuinely seriously changed my life in some major ways. I delved into EVERYTHING that following year...I've seen/watched literally everything, several times over. Every single livestream...at least 3 times etc etc. I almost wish I HAD paced myself a bit lol...cuz I eventually straight up ran out of stuff lol.

[@maxsteiner1964]

This is such a treat to the senses. Every time I say that a Aurora song is my favorite, she comes along and just undo that statement. There is no favorite Aurora song. It all depends on you mood of that day. And today you made my day Redhead. Hug. Edit: Ok, I'm drunk now. Cos its Friday and I think I posted twice. Nevermind that.

[@hiroakiureshino5938]

Great reaction! I really love AURORA and metal music. I always think the way of building up AURORA song is very similar to that one of TOOL. Very different music but good one has some same principle imo. And as you said i love both of studio recording and live performance, both has own amazing points, especially nin studio recording, chorus is so good.

[@redheadedneighbor]

She is one of those rare artists who are so gentle yet have a steel spine

[@avedic]

I think she had SUCH a cool look right at this time....basically this music video, the video to I Went Too Far, and the Honda Stage live show. Her hair was a bit grown out from the earlier short bob....she had that cool undercut....and idk, just had a specifically cool style at that moment. I mean, she _always_ looks amazing...but I particularly like the aesthetic vibe from around this time. It didn't last that long either.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Yes, very cool!

[@mariopardillo8618]

So glad you're back to Aurora. This is one of my favorite songs of hers and the video is absolutely gorgeous - sadly this was not the original video but a weird edited looping version of it. Still glad you got to enjoy the song, but if you get a chance to see the original unedited video please do so - it really is quite lovely. Also, you might want to watch/react to the live performance of this song at her Nidarosdomen Concert - the addition of cathedral organ, violins, harp and male choir takes it up a notch or two.

[@mariopardillo8618]

Here's a link I think will work for the original video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZaTgn6Fdpugn7c

[@redheadedneighbor]

[@CarlD70]

Thanks Red....had you zoomed the video presentation out on this one you would have seen the incredible choreographed "Drones" flying around and wrapping this cocoon she is in. Quite a technical feat to say the least. Hope you got to see that when you recorded. Cheers. 🥰🥰

[@redheadedneighbor]

I’m being told this was not the official video. Someone sent me a link that I can check out. I’ll look into it!

[@60plus01]

The original video is currently blocked in the US. Like all of Auroras original videos. They are working to solve it.

[@Geralt26]

Hi, First all thank you for cool reaction for Aurora, i liked it very much. I really love her music and I also like a different types of music including metal. You pick almost right :). But it is not official video. I mean it is from official video but like in loop only short part of video - dont know why someone did this :). Official video is on her official channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/horHnpKQZtyhh5I (just for you to see off camera in free time :). Beautiful song (but I love her whole discography) and great video. It always amaze me how creative she is as she write her own music and you already see that she has a lot of variation in her music, but yet some things common :). Plus she has no musical education and just start to write music as a child by herself.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Mind blowing!!!! Absolutely!!!!

[@Tarkus_]

I don't care what you're wearing, I would watch you react to Aurora every day, regardless! You got the right video, despite the hardcoded subtitles. There is a very cool "making of" video about this. The people who helped her with the drones said that the science usually inspires the video, but in this case, Aurora's vision drove the science. They literally had to program their drones to deliver in her inspiration. One of the most fascinating things about Aurora is how many metal fans love her. I've seen so many mostly metal reactors who have watched her one time and become hooked. And she herself is a metal fan. She's often singled out Gojira as a favorite of hers, and she posted pictures from a Metallica concert a few months ago. She'll probably never go straight metal herself, but I'd love to see her do a metal collaboration at some point. I think she has said she'd love to do something with Gojira at some point (but I have no idea if they're fans of hers).

[@redheadedneighbor]

I can see why… she is so amazing!

Loved this, thanks for sharing! 🌹 I love that you also hear the music, not just her singing. Because its always next level, whether its small accustic sets or big studio productions like here. Im sure you have been told, but she is also a professional dancer. And she weaves the movements into her story like ive never seen before 💖 However, my favorite trate of hers is her lyrics. The topics and the way she convays them, is perhaps my favorite writer since Bob Dylan. When and if you become a hardcore fan, I urge you to take a deep dive in her masterful poetry. I know you like lyrics, and I think you would be mighty impressed! PS: Your hair still looks just perfect! 😊

[@redheadedneighbor]

Thank you.💕 I am more and more impressed with her!

[@hakanandersson1276]

Amazing reaction of the amazing song and video. First I have to say that you are so lovely and have a joy that is so beautiful. I describe myself as a traditional Heavy metal head and old rock bear. You might think it's strange that we like, and in my case love, AURORA's music. But I think it is due to her always high quality. Unafraid to be melancholic and straight-backed as well as endlessly explosive and creative. At least it attracts me.

[@redheadedneighbor]

Actually, makes perfect sense to me. She is so unconventional just like metal. And they both have a rebellious against the norm that can honestly be refreshing.

[@poolhallshark]

Way to go! Reacting to both my favorite singers on the same day 🙂 Can you imagine? Last year I got to see both Angelina and Aurora in concert. I am so lucky, and I cherish those memories. It WILL happen again. I'll be seeing KALANDRA live in 3 weeks with my wife. That's another Norwegian group, and you haven't reacted to them 😁 They are not my 3rd favorite artist/band though, that spot belongs to Eivør. Yet another artist you haven't reacted to. I'm all here to change that when you feel up for it. Just sayin' you know?? 😅😁 Love from Norway ♥♥♥
