Drummer reacts to "Lucky" (Live) by AURORA

[@helenespaulding7562]

I just looked it up: Aurora was born in 1996….so the last year for millennials. I think partially the reasons that Aurora can be so free spirited and creative is that 1) born with amazing creative talent 2) lived in a place where she could spend her free time walking in the forest….being one with nature and her thoughts. Most young people now have never set foot in a forest or experienced Nature. Believe it or not, that makes a huge difference in the human psyche.

[@L33Reacts]

I grew up on a farm in the woods and spent many a days walking in the woods and playing games by myself. I was an only child and my mom had a barn with horses. It was very beneficial to my mindset. I know what life is at its simplest moments. And that there is so much more to life then what we experience in our waking lives. I saw some unexplained things out there in the deep woods too. We don’t know as much as we think we do (we being humans lol)🤔

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@L33Reacts absolutely right! Many things beyond our ken and it’s arrogant to think otherwise, imo. I was also an only child. Spent time playing in near cattails and caves in huge blackberry bushes. Lots of forest time too. Now, young people have forgotten how to play because of over-protective parents and too much indoor screen time. Scientists are just seeing the results now and they are horrible: free play is a necessary part of wiring the brain in young mammals, including humans. Lack of it is damaging to developing minds. You’re right: you and Gen Z were unintended test subjects for a paradigm -shifting technology, and the effects are just manifesting themselves. And they are not good. Keep your kids away from social media until they’re 16 at least. Especially girls. That’s what the growing consensus is now.

[@L33Reacts]

@@helenespaulding7562 MySpace and Facebook were just the precursors to the monsters that we have now. I can’t even look at my social media because if I’m honest (like usual) it’s all my high school and college friends that were girls basically naked and begging people to buy their only fans. It’s just ads and scams on Facebook. TikTok is a literal spying device AND a brain rot inducing unfeeling machine. KZbin has things on it that are beneficial to humans (I hope) so I can argue for that. Twitter is just bots. What’s so social about social media? It’s just all of the worst aspects of humanity focused and spread throughout the entire globe. It’s honestly kinda freaky if you think of the internet as all of us connected as one thing. Yet again technology trying to imitate nature and failing miserably. We are all one in a natural way, to begin with. Technology is just humanity trying to do what nature already does but under OUR control. Well, the government and giant multinational conglomerates. Woops.

@@helenespaulding7562 sorry our modern world is a tale I’ve witnessed firsthand and from afar so I see something’s some folks don’t. As I say sometimes, I’m kinda an island. I watch everything from my lonely little beach. But it’s beautiful sometimes. Other times I just see everyone fight and the world burn.

You and her would probably get along very well ❤​@@L33Reacts

[@paulehney4581]

What a talented singer!

[@nateped1]

Aurora is a Genius and is the most free person I've ever experienced. Nice reaction to her. She never wanted to be a performer, she just wrote music to help her with her thoughts and feelings. Her mom talked into sharing with the world as to not be selfish, because her music could help others.

[@L33Reacts]

I can see why. It’s quite personal. But it is so cathartic it’s not even funny.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Yes….ive read that she really wanted to be a dancer…and that totally shows up in her live performances.

[@paulkossak7761]

If i collected the tears I've shed watching Aroura's live performances i could fill a swimming pool.

[@DrStrangelove3891]

I discovered Aurora only this year. She is definitely one of the more interesting artists of this latest generation. She is different.

Thanks bro I appreciate that 🙏🙏

[@hakanandersson1276]

Thanks man! Great reaction! With all her empath, haunted voice and atmosphere this is for me the best performance ever been made. I have listen to her music for nine years now and i love every second of it. Hope you get on the Aurora journey you are going to be Lucky i am rather certain of that.

[@L33Reacts]

I’m glad you enjoyed! This one cut deep. I’ve been through some shit so stuff like this just screams out to me. I appreciate the kind words. She is amazing! I look forward to hearing more…

Wonderful reaction to an iconic AURORA song. No matter where you are or what you need, AURORA has a song for you. She is one of a kind, and a true treasure to this world. Enjoy the ride. Liked and subscribed.

[@tx0h]

i'm pretty sure you will like aurora, she is just a different kind of human. for a drummer and an quick entry to her rich catalog i recommend the little KEXP concert from KEXP iceland. thanks for your nice reaction.

[@nateped1]

I second that...

[@Tarkus_]

Great reaction! So awesome seeing Aurora make it to your channel. She is a truly unique artist and person, and I hope this was simply the start of a long journey. "Through the Eyes of a Child" from the same concert would be a perfect follow-up to this one.

[@L33Reacts]

I’m glad you enjoyed. This one kinda broke me for a sec there lol but it’s gorgeous. I look forward to hearing more from her. That was incredibly insightful and deep from someone younger than even me 😂 gives me a little hope.

[@gliebzeit]

L33, thanks for your reaction to Aurora's 'Lucky' performance at Nidarosdomen. She is a force of nature and continues presently on tour (age 28) with outstanding new songs and a killer performing band! Also, I've been watching your videos for many, many months ... you bare your thoughts and emotions in a way that most surely will help some of your listeners. Keep going forward, my friend!!

[@helenespaulding7562]

When you want another taste of this amazing artist, PLEASE try Eyes of A Child from this same concert. Anything from this performance is wonderful. The acoustics in that cathedral are magnificent and add to the haunting beauty of her pure, crystalline voice.

[@corawheeler9355]

Beautiful song and a lovely voice ... very nice

[@Lue.llllllllllllllllll]

And bro to watch videos about her growing up....ShE WOULD LOVE YU the way you look at things. It's time to go down the rabbit hole of Aurora. Yu are an empathy, I can tell.

[@L33Reacts]

I’m for better or worse an empath of some sorts. It’s usually a cross to bear but of all things, KZbin, it has been something to share and hopefully helps others. It’s usually only inflicted pain on me. But maybe it was pain that was needed lol

[@L33Reacts]

She would be an enlightening conversation. 😊

[@Goldun-nah]

Aurora is bringing the spirit back into music. Making us listen to music with our hearts. Can’t wait for you to go through her discography! Subscribed

[@-R.Gray-]

For a couple more Aurora performances : "It Happened Quiet - Live at the Current " (with great accompaniment on vocals and guitar), and "Runaway - From the 2015 Nobel Peace Concert" ( a good example of the connection between the music and her body - written when she was 11 yrs old).

[@RunarNyrud]

Welcome to the warriors and weirdos! (Auroras fans). Dont worry about the tears and "rambling", we are used to it. Aurora will touch your heart and soul, as she did today. Trust me when I say: Auroras magic art (performances) has helped so many people! She has changed me, but I know she has been life changing for many. The hunt for "normal" and "perfect" is strange, because it does not exist! It is like trying to find the gold at the end of the Rainbow, it will move and you will ware yourself out trying. We look at others, their life (often on instagram or something) looks perfect! But is it? Do you see their demons? Nope! We are all "not normal", or uniq. No human are the same, not eaven identical twins! Aurora is a huge YOU BE YOU person, she is a warrior if love. I am VERY sure that you will have a fantastic journey into her Queendom if you continue listening with your heart and soul as you did today. Next I will recommend to you "the river". It is basically about letting your feelings out, dont bottle it up till it breaks you! Normally I recommend a live version, but the music video is so good: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmjPdmB9ZtR2aZYsi=gQ_kVnamE3ipxh_n

[@johnytwo]

When someone looks normal, it is suspicious to me :D

[@afrisv]

I knew of her (Norwegian), but early on wrote her off as just another pop artist. I'd registered she had very dedicated fans, and one day about 3 years ago I was checking bands before going to a metal festival. Scrolled past a reaction video, and decided to see what the big deal was. A bit of a shock. Listened to her a lot after that day, and seen her live several times. Very talented. Deep, meaningful lyrics, although they are not always the easiest to grasp. She's into metal (featured on the latest Bring Me The Horizon album) and techno (collaborates with Chemical Brothers) among other things. Incredible live artist.

[@johnytwo]

Yep. Aurora is the right thing for you, I feel. She is gonna move you to the right spot.

[@L33Reacts]

After one video and the comments I’ve seen so far… yeah I agree. Looks like I’ve got some more digging to do with her :) she sounds like she’s very interesting. Her perspective is so fresh and unique and I appreciate that 😊

[@Mobiggs_]

Aurora is great. Nice to see her on the channel. Everything from Nidarosdomen sounds amazing. The acoustics in that place are just unbelievable. And couple that with the choir and her ethereal voice you just can't help but shed tears.

[@kevdenn]

AURORA Aksnes, 28 from Norway. She started forming melodies at age 6, with words coming around age 9. Her hit song "Runaway" was written when she was around 11 years old. Singer-songwriter, producer, musician, and a trained dancer. Welcome to the AURORA rabbit hole.

[@realbser1956]

Enjoyed your heartfelt reaction to Aurora. I’ve seen her on others channels so I knew this song. Not an artist that I would gravitate to but I’m glad that she has this effect for you. She’s a great talent. Thanks JellyBean.

[@lillm6874]

Great reaction to this beautiful and emotional song and performance🥰 She wrote most of this song at the age of 9😳 Could you please react to: “The dark dresses lightly” live at the Roskilde festival “My body is not mine” Warriors version (she posted the lyrics and asked her fans to send her clips, and then they made this video🤘 “Starvation” official video

That’s crazy! Nine?? You gotta be shitting me lol she is indeed incredible even more so now. sometimes it’s the eyes of children that let us see the true world. We make up stuff more as we get older, in a certain way.

[@stephenbarlow2493]

You needn't worry about what you are saying. This is the whole theme of Aurora's latest album, What Happened to the Heart, and in particular, Starvation, is specifically about this topic. This is the chorus - "Why do we have to die, For us to see the light?, And we hunger for love, And my soul is starving, Why do we touch the knife, When we long to feel alive?, And we hunger for love, And my soul is starving".

[@helenespaulding7562]

"Churchyard" Live on KEXP is an awesome performance of one of her catchiest but quirky songs. It's a one of a kind song and her band sings harmony like you won't believe.

[@RunarNyrud]

Fun fact: Aurora is her real name, Aurora Aksnes.

[@L33Reacts]

What a beautiful name. I love it.

[@leavemealoneimjustfreespirted]

What is normal, really? First time seeing you and your channel, but I'm looking forward to seeing more. Aurora is extremely one of the most unique there is. She literally transcends in every live performance as she becomes the character in the song she sings. She writes all her on music and has been doing so since she was 9 or 10 years old. She's deeply connected to the earth. I can't wait for you to dive into more.❤

[@celinel9750]

Aurora is so unique, Try ''Runing with the Wolf'' (official MV) where she adress the 'internet'' slavery we are stock in. True the Eyes of a Child from the same concert is also a deep one on the reflection of how we grow up. Welcome to the famely of the Warrior and Weirdo (her fan's name) 🙂

[@helenespaulding7562]

Funny you should mention Joni Mitchell. From the first time I heard Aurora…..on KZbin during the pandemic, my first thought was, “ she’s the new Joni Mitchell”. I’m 77. And Joni was/is my favorite female artist. And now I love Aurora too. Love to watch her perform. Such a free spirit.

[@taccamine8312]

She is also a Mitchell fan, and has said "Both Sides" never fails to makes her cry. Perhaps specially the coming of age version 🥰.

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@taccamine8312 yes…..that does not surprise me. Aurora feels so deeply and has an “old soul”. I’m sure she thinks about time and her moving through it. So that version, I agree, would move her.

1957 here.

[@helenespaulding7562]

Since you commented to me that you’ve spent time in the deep forest, I have a suggestion which, I think, will give you goosebumps all over your body. At least it did to me. Watch the live video of Aurora singing with the group Wadruna at Helvegen. It’s based on a very ancient Norse funeral chant. It resonates in a very deep and ancient place within our DNA.

[@helenespaulding7562]

@@johnytwo honestly, I think the direct translation is pretty clunky. I’m sure it does not have the poetry of the original. The only line that feels poetic to me is the one about crossing the bridge to the afterlife and that my song will follow you. That lyric is very cool.

Aurora is different, in many senses. All her songs are different and every performance a different interpretation, sometimes very different. She sees the world in a different way, a real observer. This shows in her lyrics. This concert from the Nidarosdomen is a true masterpiece, set an hour aside and enjoy. Her very recent rack from her fourth album is special and best (so far) on Vevo. "Soul with no King"

How often do you hear low female contralto voices in popular music? Agree, they are rare. The "dramatic contralto" voice is a very rare gift. And how often do female contraltos have a range of 3 octaves? It's hard for me to remember even one name. And a dramatic contralto of 4 octaves? At 21 years old!? Such voices are born once in 100 years. But if you add to this the richest overtones that you have heard in women, which can only be compared with a male bass, a phenomenal ability to extract two or even more notes at once (lower plus upper register, polyphonic voice!? polyharmonic), phenomenal speed of switching registers, the most complex vocal techniques, including yodel. Meet Diana Ankudinova! And I want to see your surprised eyes and open mouths when you react to her!
