FIRST TIME hearing Aurora - KEXP Performance (LIVE)

[@deannaharrison8423]

Aurora said that forgotten love is about that feeling you get when you wake up one day and realize that you're no longer mourning someone that you have lost. That moment you realize you're no longer mourning and that it's okay to let go. Oh, the beauty in forgotten love!

[@JeRrYxVaNcE]

good to know :) :)

[@maximpowers1]

I love Silja Sol :)

[@zaynemaxwell5169]

You all prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@ianalsvn]

i generally don't write comments (as i also don't watch many reaction videos) but i need to say that your reactions are very genuine, so it makes very pleasant to watch!! and i love how hooked up you are in aurora, she's definitely a treasure worth listening and watching. looking forward to the next videos!!!

[@AdamStraughan]

iana Ahh thanks fantastic to read! Thank you so much! 😁😁

[@hummingnectarbird]

In Gentle Earthquake the chant is “My heart, My head, My mind!!” In Churchyard, the chant is a language she made up. definitely almost a tribal vibe. I think we will hear more.

[@Accolonian]

According to Aurora, her invented language is something she brings with her from her childhood. She calls it an emotional language where the meanings of the words are fluid and can change in other emotional contexts. When I was 3-4 years old, I used to sing songs I heard on the radio. I didn't understand any English yet, so the words were just impressions and emotions, so I think I know what she means by that. As an aside, I can tell you that it is very surrealistic to remember a song years later and discover that sounds you only remembered phonetically suddenly bear meaning. I think that experience is only known to people that has English as a second language.

[@AdamStraughan]

Wow that’s so fascinating!

[@geirsaelensminde1888]

Hi Danni, I can see that you like Aurora a lot.She is amazing. We (Norway Concerts) are happy to work with Aurora now, mostly on events. You can contact me on mail: [e-mail] if you want more info. Our Website: www.norwayconcerts.com Best regards Geir

[@centuriomacro9787]

theres just so much energy and joy in this performance. I´ve always coming back to it. All Is Soft Inside is just an explosion of feelings

[@JeRrYxVaNcE]

most powerful stage presence ever

[@bnjmnwst]

I love Aurora's studio tracks, but they showcase her songwriting & the production more. Her live performances, though, they make me smile. I can't help myself. When I see her, I smile, and when I see her performing, or just being herself in an interview, I'm almost overwhelmed with joy. She is amazing. Edit: I want to dance with her. I don't dance.

[@mjolnir426]

17:09 got the reaction I was kinda anticipating/hoping for. 😁 Thanks for another wonderful video! “Homma-herre-herro-herre” [sic] is Aurora going ‘full Gladiator,’ I believe. Just to compare it to something, sounds nothing like Lisa Gerrard’s vocalizations. Both are lovely, though. Curious to see what’s next - a lot of suggestions for her covers. I definitely agree, “God is a Woman,” “Believer,” “Teardrop,” and “Across the Universe” are all top notch. “Believer” is Aurora at her most angelic, vocally.

[@AdamStraughan]

Ahhh perfect! Thank you!! And that makes complete sense, I love Aurora’s vocalising!

[@mjolnir426]

@Adam Straughan Sure thing! After hearing “A Different Kind of Human” again the other day, I had a look at Apple Music’s lyrics section. Sure enough, Aurora’s vocalizing language is written into the lyrics. Hopefully you’ll get a chance to check out this song soon. :)

[@thal1]

One of my favourite songs of hers! Hits different everytime ❤️ the studio version is like the perfect song

[@anicapalini]

Each concert of Aurora is quiet unique, this one has a lot energy, she is dancing and jumping around, even the musicians are playing with a more rock energy and as always she sings freely around her own melody with her enchanting voice. As you said, this shows how much of a true Artist she is. Thank you for your Reaction, I really enjoy that you do react on the whole thing and you are always connected with what happens, it is awesome :o) Take care, sending Love from Switzerland.

[@aeh5138]

Great reactions, thank you! She has a few songs at "Honda stage" that you haven't heard. Such as "Under the water" , "Black water lilies", "Conquerer", I went too far".

[@AdamStraughan]

ae h Thank you so much! I’ll check them out!

[@aeh5138]

@@AdamStraughan also, you must listen to the sequal of Infections of a diffrent kind, namely A diffrent kind of human. The studio version is best but there is a special live performance at "Christines radiofestival". Her backup singers (Silja Sol) mother had just died the days before and the emotion that shines trough Auroras eyes is breathtaking.. The live version is acustic and very diffrent to the studio version. Listen to both 😉

[@grudge6648]

The note she hits at the end of Black Water Lilies is seriously impressive. You gotta hear it to believe it

[@MsAldanalopez]

you should react to infections of different kinds the EP is brilliant

[@christinevr7698]

Completely agree. The studio version of all her songs are brilliant!!

[@shadokat6858]

One thing I just realized about her compared to other artists is that with the amount of jumping and dancing she's done throughout her performance she was able to keep control over her voice.

[@AdamStraughan]

It’s such a talent!

[@yubogolfer4040]

This woman is simply the personification of life-power and beauty in soul, mind, art, body and heart. She is so special, love her and her art. And I really appreciate your respectful and calm reaction on this performance (as well as to all the other Aurora reations I've seen so far from you) enjoying it as much as I do.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thanks so much!

[@Shiaxonna]

She did an acoustic version of Queendom live, with just a guitar and backing vocals. It’s called «Queendom - Loustic session», if I remember correctly. I really like it because of the subtle differences from the normal version, and the very intimate close-up camera work. And it sounds awesome :-)

[@chadperkins8406]

Most guys try to play it cool, like they can keep emotions on a leash. I think if you can listen to Aurora without having tears well up, you aren't a human.

[@sistergrimm6944]

no matter what song she preforms she puts so much emotion in every word every hand movement and that’s just amazing

[@capuccinocomchantilly7908]

Every time You drank that water I was like, "hell yeah sir, stay hydrated" but anyways. Thank you for your reaction, this is my fav performance from her so far and you're right every time she sings it looks like it's a diferent version of the song, it"s amazing.

[@MHonari]

Can I just point out that so far your 10 Aurora reaction videos have more than 5000 likes and only 6 dislikes?! I've never seen such a thing on KZbin! Apparently, this is what happens when a positive fandom meets your positive attitude! I don't think you're trying to please the crowd. It seems to me that you genuinely pay attention to the beauty and overlook the imperfections.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so so much! The response has been overwhelming and I thank each and everyone of you for it! Truly, it makes me so happy!

[@sarlina1]

Absolutely phenomenal, Adam. I am so glad you heard the opening masterpiece also. Churchyard has the most delicate harmonies. I love it. The language in the end is a made up language. She is after all a fairy 😊 The whole concert is so good. You are nailing every comment too. Thank you again for a wonderful concert and for your wisdom. Awesome 💕

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️

[@katewright2445]

I love your reactions. The best word I can describe Aurora's expression is kinetic, the little head shakes between songs, eyes rolling back, jumps and vocal shrieks. She is in HER world and bringing it to life to us. What an honour. Let's find our own slice of this world by feeling free and wild. Love that kalimba.

[@Lene-Lene]

This little mini concert is just so perfect. She is really so great to watch here, being herself is such a perfect way and sounding so great. And lets not forget the band, gosh they are amazing, too!! Just perfect.

[@headshotm4a1]

I love that you, like me, have been drawn in by Aurora in watching everything she has created. Now that you are familiar with her style, do listen to Exist for Love! - A warrior and weirdo from India (studying in the US)

[@AdamStraughan]

headshotm4a1 Thank you! And yes, it is coming 😁

[@Abbadonhades]

A lovely reaction. This is my favourite of her concerts. Even though she's a bit out of breath sometimes, her liveliness, dancing and humor makes it so much fun to experience.

[@maximpowers1]

She spreads LOVE

If you wanna see more Aurora live i recommend this one on yt (its just 3 songs, but in rare arrangement): Aurora at Paste Studio NYC live from The Manhattan Center

[@gratefulpitnicker]

Great reaction Adam. I loved it when Aurora "bursts" with energy in All Is Soft Inside and you exclaimed, "YES!", when she let it all go. Every time I watch that video I get such a surge of energy and joy watching her RELEASE of soul and spirit. Chills and goosebumps every time 😍😍 Thanks for doing the entire video, by doing so you see the fun and playful side of her that most other reactors miss out on. 😉

[@AdamStraughan]

Awh thank you very much! This was a joy to watch!

[@rebecamarianaarinelli1454]

Oh Adam! I already watched every single one of your videos and its so good, It's always a joy to watch your reactions, and your comments are so accurate! You are a true observer and I love it!

Mariana Arinelli Thank you so much! Wow! That is such a huge compliment! I can’t thank you enough! Your English is wonderful 😊

[@theuniversewithin74]

I was waiting for you to do KEXP. It's a condensation of how awesome Aurora and her band is. Watched it 20 times already. I'll probably watch your reaction to this another 5 😁❤️

[@AdamStraughan]

Awh thank you so much!

[@walterF205]

A few thoughts on this production: excellently filmed, a warm color palette very suitable in the Icelandic winter, a wide angle lens that makes Aurora almost "hang" towards you, immersing you in the atmosphere of this slightly ruined looking place. She's in a state of grace, the dress that helps her a lot in being extremely energetic as I have never seen her. Only flaw ... too short.

[@avedic]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of COURSE that's how she started the show lol.....she's the best. Also, to anyone curious....Bjork was in the audience that night. Yeah...Bjork. I'd be a nervous wreck. But Aurora is just like AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! and didn't seem the slightest bit phased.

[@Sapphie02]

I scoured the internet for a react channel that does Aurora a lot she is my fav and I found you and im so thankful fkr you

[@ispbrotherwolf]

@@JeRrYxVaNcE I know, and she makes her own music 2 :-)

[@avedic]

All Is Soft Inside has, over time, become such a special song to me. My favorite moment in that song is when everything cuts out and she holds that long clear pristine crystaline note on "Aaaaaaall that I know..." Just breathtakingly emotive....nearly makes me cry every time.

[@judyjude]

I love that you are doing concerts and even the documentary Haik. I would suggest Nothing is eternal, a short documentary. I think you will love that one

[@bea8793]

Your reactions are so, so genuine and you are absolutely lovely! Has anyone told you you have kind eyes? It was one of the first things i noticed! If you’re not tired of reacting to aurora, you should check out Under the Water from the Vevo halloween concert(not one of her best concerts vocally as she had a sore throat, but her stage presence is amazing)! I wish you the very best and stay safe. Love from the Yarra Valley, Australia ❤️

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!

[@rockape1954]

I love it when she harmonises with Celia in intervals and they switch about... Sometimes with Aurora on top or she goes low. And her use of dynamic range, in a genre where dynamic range gets squished for radio plays its nice to see somebody buck that trend, and deliberately belting or whispering as she see's fit. I think she's miss genre'd she belongs in her own genre. Hell you wouldn't usually see me listening to 'Pop', I'm a 'heavy metal, prog, or even classical music listener habitually but I haven't ever found a bad or even average Aurora Song yet and I never tire of listening to her. Adam I listen to a few good musical reactors and its a good way to discover different music, you are definitely among the good ones I really enjoy your channel and I'm interested to see where we take you or where you take us in the future. There is a feast of good music out there... All the best from South Dorset..

[@Sofia-Lala]

Haha, I call it experimental pop, 'cause no way it's plain old 'pop'.

[@Accolonian]

Once again you cost me sleep, because I discover the video to late in the night. But you are forgiven, since I enjoy it so much. So thank you for proving my point, that reactions don't have to be 10 mins or less. As you can see, we stay for the whole thing. Oh, and Adam! I just realized that you haven't heard "Exist for love" yet. It's Auroras newest release, only about a month old. First song off her next album. What. Are. You. Waiting. For?!?

If you liked Haik, youll love that one. Its not a fluff piece, quite the opposite. As for this reaction... Im gonna watch it now, but i dont really need to do so to know that its gonna be great. :)

Thanks for the reaction. Aurora has a great variety in its performancesc. I think it's incredibly important that an artist enjoys what he is doing. you can see that she is happy. something like that carries over to the fans. that is beautiful. incredibly valuable. (please excuse my bad english)

[@zisforzeebruh]

Loved the reaction! Aurora recently released a new song called Exist for Love which you should watch and the live stream that goes with it as well!

[@frogsoda]

When I heard your description of her first song I thought of the way I always think of her songs as being, for lack of a better word, I like the way they're "structured". And then after the second song you used the same word. That gets a big thumbs up from me.

[@aasphaug]

Yay! My favorite concert. The other KEXP one is also very nice (although different energy, because it is in a studio). About the same length. It has one of my favorite interviews with her at the end too.

[@Microcuts013]

Thank you so much, you are like the first reactor for this performace on youtube. I really like how you also don't pause every 15 seconds like every other reactor on youtube, to make some obvious comment. Finally. Great reaction and efin brilliant performance by Aurora and the band, still can't get over how on point she is, even tho she is moving like a maniac :D. The sound and mix of this concert is also really good, that dude behind that sound/sample board should get some recognition as well.

[@runeresell-hansen9506]

Another great reaction, thank you! I don't know the meaning of "here hero here" from churchyard, but Aurora sometimes uses word that isn't real words, but just something she sings with or without a meaning. You can also hear it in "Forgotten Love" at 27:50 when she sings in her own language that she made when she was a child. She did a less known, but in my opinion even better version of "Forgotten Love" at the norwegian talkshow Lindmo with a more coreographed dance.

Then i can recommnend to you: her cover Massive Attack 'Teardrop' for Like A Version, Little Boy In The Grass | Mahogany Session, It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) Scarborough Fair Interesting fact: That refrain you like in Queendom (in 32:00) she made in very young age like 6 years old.

I really love it how you talk about every song, like listening to a friend. Anyway, Just yesterday I found Wardruna's new song called Lyfjaberg or Healing mountain. I think you will like it.

Each of the artists on that festival got to work with Norways best music video producers.

I've seen this performance before but it was a treat to see your reaction. Always a good time here with you and Aurora! If you're looking for another long documentary style-ish thing to watch, "Once Aurora" is amazing. It basically chronicles her rise to fame and the build-up to her 2nd album/step "Infections of A Different Kind: Step I". Beautiful documentary and you get to see a side of Aurora that most don't. Kind of a behind-the-scenes. But anyways, thanks for this treat! ❤

You've done several reactions to Aurora now, and with the Nidaros concert you've heard a lot of her songs. So I want to recommend you to listen (and please! React) to AURORA's newest song "Exist for Love". I won't say too much about it, but it was done with minimal crew because of CORVID-19, and it was all done in a single take with no changes. (ps: crying on camera is allowed)

You good sir, have very fast become one of my favorite... (I almost said reactionist, but that is something different all together, lol) You-tuber to experience music with. I can't wait to see your face when you listen to and watch "Exist for Love" I have followd Aurora for, what? Six years now, and its been really wonderful to see how she has evloved, grown. And, she has never made anything like "Exist for love" before. I was so, so surprised. I know, its sound almost trite to say that her music is fantastic but for me she never cease to amaze and surprise me. Jeez! Listen to me. Talk about fanboy, LOL.

Max Steiner Thank you so much Max! Your passion for Aurora really comes through 😁

You are such a perceptive listener! It's great to watch you taking so much pleasure in listening to Aurora. When I first discovered Aurora, she seemed to me more like a character from a fairy tale. So loving, naive, extremely sensitive, and deeply influenced by the suffering of others ("I fall asleep in my own tears, I cry for the world, for everyone"). When Aurora was a child, she heard about homeless and poor children in other parts of the world. She came to her teacher in tears and said: "We must save all of them!". Her teacher told her it's not possible, and that we have to focus on the things we are able to change. I believe Aurora still struggles to come to terms with the fact that she can't save all those who are suffering. But she does her best to be "a warrior of love", fight for good causes, and inspire her fans to do so. Aurora also reaches out to all the sensitive people, those who have to struggle harder to live in this world (her“warriors” and "weirdos"). So her young fans are very much influenced and inspired by her. One song she has written to inspire her fans to dream "big" is called "Daydreamer". It would be great if you could react to the version in the link below. It was edited out of the movie Once Aurora, so you can see the beautiful landscapes of Norway, and even Aurora as a child. She seems so angelic! The Lyrics are soo beautiful, and in the end there is the quotation: "The warriors are the saviors of the world". kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4iynYJpq51rosk

I freaking love your aurora's videos reactions hahaha

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you so much!

[@dulcealvarez6071]

hey Adam you should react to her performance in tiny desk, she sings 3 songs you already reacted but, it is a setting quite intimate, it's like an office, I discovered her there by accident actually, it was the suggestion after I watched daughter performed there (btw check that band too) best accident ever

[@livia2770]

I saw the notification pop up on my tablet and now I'm here.

[@AdamStraughan]

Thank you!!!

[@ale3695]

I love your reactions! It would be amazing if you reacted to Wisdom Cries. Its rather different from the rest of her songs and she hasn't performed it live, but it is very good regardless!

[@lil_wild_doe]

Eieieie another Aurora reactionn knew it coming can we say its an Aurora reaction channel now??? btw I rly rly RLY think you should listen Verftet Online Festival version of All Is Soft Insıde she took it to a whole new level there

[@AdamStraughan]

Doğa K. Of course you can! 😁

[@AlexSandro-wo1ui]

Love your reaction by Aurora... Congratulations BR

[@henningmathiassen412]

Hello Adam. You may have reacted to Thru the eyes if a child before (Nidarosdomen), but I would like you to react to this song in another version. This song is current and quite important in this rather upside down world, and spreading her message is very relevant and important!

[@justjulie37]

I didn't see you react to Aurora's song "Animal" on your playlist. I see "Animal soul" but not Animal. The one at the current is pretty good.

[@AnyFuleKnoThat]

Loving your reactions, I would like you to take a listen to another band from Norway : Kalandra, I think you may like them, try Lullaby(live) Across the sea(live) Brave new world, Grizzly man, they also do a cover of Wardruna's Helvegen. 😊
