seeing her fangirling aurora is my roman empire

oh my god this is the first comment I saw one second into the video and I'm so excited stoppp 😭 my two favorite artists godddd

[@teddyeatspudding]

Aurora is one of the greatest talents of this generation but she's so overlooked

[@keremh.]

@@Dave-hb7lxwhy do you think that

[@RA-do9wm]

@@keremh. Aurora said in an interview back in 2019 (my translation): I have actively opposed becoming better known than I am, subconsciously. I think it’s scary. There are a number of songs that you will never get to listen to. Songs that made the team very excited, almost in ecstasy, and then I thought: “I cannot release these songs right now.” I have never wanted to be an artist, but have lived the dream of many others. I would definitely have enjoyed this much more if I had dreamed about it when I was little. I feel in a way that I have been cheated of getting a dream fulfilled. But then I notice, day by day, that it was probably right for me. All of this. I’m starting to love it. In a recent interview, she also said that she hoped none of her songs would go viral again, like Runaway did.

[@Cerine-pw9em]

When she said Is she said ( it’s gonna be a bunch of songs ) was she talking about hit me hard and soft or a new album?? I’m going crazy (

Billies talking about Aurora & Sufjan is just so incredible to me. I remember finding both songs ‘Runaway’ & ‘fourth of July’ when I was younger and the immediate feelings emotions outpouring out of me when I first heard them. When I first heard Billie’s music, Especially the song ‘lovely’ it was the exact same feeling I got when I first listened to Aurora & Sufjan. Those 3 artists are still on my on repeat playlists, and they are never going anywhere. They are the odes to my younger self and to my older self❤

[@amberflowers4]

I remember hearing those two songs for the first time too. It was life changing for me tbh. Two incredible artists and so is Billie

[@gittevilsejensen5079]

Exactly what I Think. 😇🙏🏻

[@MollyReynolds-vb2qf]

What Billie said about aging really hits home for me. I got married at 19 had my 1st baby at 21 and when I turned 30 I was thinking but I'm just a baby myself! I don't know anything! it was a very scary day realizing that all of the adults that gave me advice and that I have looked up to never really knew what they were doing. it was very shocking. now I'm 45 and still I don't know anything. I'm the same kid in my mind...the very same person but with new beliefs and ideas from things I have experienced through my life....and now I know that people shouldn't be judged for things they have said or mistakes they have made in the past (unless they abused someone) because their experiences and ignorance lead to their mistakes...once they open their minds and surround themselves with "good" people things will click into place...

[@arcoirisaustralianshepherds]

It doesn't change as you age. My mother @86 yrs old always said she felt just like herself at 16.

[@oldsoul8134]

35 never really listened to any Billie songs other then the ones in shows and movies but this album blew me away

[@waxtopia]

Fourth of July is such a touching song. I found it in July 2022 when my close friend passed away. It will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@st4rf1ishy]

how can one write good music, have good taste in music, and have an impeccable sense of style like what she is too cool

Welcome to beyoncé, babe

[@Uhohcora]

@moscowguitarmanit is a fire style i’ve loved this style for so long now like what

[@783wuw]

And ? 😂 what’s your problem? She is cool and we love her style! She broke the fashion rules in pop industry for female white artists she also won a Vanguard award bc of her revolutionary impact ! Now so many new female artists are dressing like her .. who is not comfortable to show their body, they don’t have to if they don’t want it.. and before since Madonna and Britney Spears the industry forced them to do that … now a straight woman who is more masculine, or a lesbian more masculine .. they can finally dress and be as they want and not only showing their ass everywhere, putting women in just 1 box… she was already like that when she was a kid and she was lucky enough to stay herself during her career bc she signed with a great healthy label and team, and she can do and be what she wants.

[@braaogs6]

i could listen to billie talking about everything that is between the bottom of the ocean to the very top of the sky, and still not get tired of listening to her. and that, my friends, is what love feels like

[@ambrosefierce2042]

I'm in my 50s, and I have a few friends my age who just LOVE Aurora (and we've been listening to her for years); she is profoundly, uniquely talented, and her work is on another level. And for Billie to mention Julia (one of John Lennon's most beautiful, vulnerable, heartbreaking compositions) just underscores why we love her, and why she's a magical combination of an old soul with a young spirit. Well done.

My mum is sick right now, and I'm happy that her new album is out... I am scared and worrying alot.. I'm just happy that I could be alone and listen to her new album, like all day long to make me somehow feel ok.

[@ZoeF.O]

We are in a pretty similar places in our lives, at least I have this feeling after I've seen your comment. I am also concerned about the health of my extremely close and important person, whom I adore since birth (and maybe even before). My twin brother has suddenly become either incurably ill, or it is something that happened recently and may never happen again (we are waiting for the results of many hospital tests and extensive examinations). We are incredibly close, we are the type of twins who feel that something has happened to the other even though we are miles apart. I'm currently in a hospital bed with him, and we listen to this album of hers together, constantly spinning from beginning to end, and so several times night and day. Since everyone knows that it is impossible to separate me from him, no one even tries. By the way, we both like to paint what touches our hearts and he is not able to do that now, so I paint something from every song and we talk about it and it's something we've always done. But now it's all permeated with my fears for him and he feels them, which makes me sad but I can't help myself and he's aware of it. So I think I know how you feel exactly. I wish you all the luck, and I send my sincerest support for everything you are going through. A lot, a lot of hugs and most of the light to let it into your heart with joy. ♥️ Judita & Jeremy from Amsterdam, Netherlands. 🌷

15:43 The Greatest is the best song ever written about unrequited love. To know this feeling is powerful & painful. Its the one i connected with the most & it was so cathartic belting out last night at her concert❤

Billie mentioning Sexy Boy by air and Fourth of July had me so shocked cause those have been my favorite songs for a while

[@ilovetosing4]

Her knowledge of production and whole inspiration is amazing. how she is inspired by other artists and very old musicianists is rewarding. She is a real artist that had so much growth in her music career in front of the world, and it's amazing how anyone can watch her and be inspired of her work and learn experiences. I love her and respect her vulnerability.

This album made me fall in love with Billies music and she helped me to come out of a really dark place mentally, listening to Billie talk about her struggles in her music and interviews made me realise that thoughts and parts of my life that I thought were specific to me were shared, shared with Billie. I finally had someone I could relate to. Her music created an emotional outlet for me unlike any artist has ever done to me. I realised I’m not alone.

[@trusty77]

Oh my goodness, adorable from start to finish. Great questions (props to you and your team, Jack) allowing Billie to share some beautiful moments from her and Finneas' creative process. Huge fan from way back of AIR, Sufijan, Aurora and of course the Beatles (must look up Spooky Black!) so concurring with all the songs and love for them. I have nothing but the highest respect (and so much affection) for Queen Billie, these June interviews from her travels have been marvellous. Thanks BBC 1 from the Antipodes :)
