FIRST TIME HEARING AURORA - Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) | REACTION

[@jjmail1971]

Seriously, guys, her live stuff is next level. No joke.

[@Royaen]

Yeah, react to Aurora's live performances, they are better than Studio recordings :)

[@aripnthegalaxy9176]

yes live. You can see her soul in the live performances.

[@arctic-1878]

100%!

[@blzjzjz3431]

CAN'T WAIT OMGGG I'LL BE IN HER CONCERT THIS JAN❤❤❤ RAAAHHHH

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

The guitarist, Odd Martin is singing with her. Watch the Nobel Prize concert version to see O'Martin in the performance. Also, the moths are real and the lyrics are "killing me for mercy". 👍

[@lillm6874]

It’s butterflies🦋

[@grabtharshammer]

DEFINITELY NOT "my seed"

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

So, I haven't finished watching yet, but I don't want to forget to let you know, that she is saying killing me for mercy not killing me for my seed.

[@dlbwoodbury]

“He’s killing me for mercy

[@Shempenchemp]

Seriously 😂 where did the seed come from? 😂😂😂

[@helenajrgensen3157]

Aurora read an article in the newspaper about a man who committed active euthanasia. His wife was suffering terribly from an illness. This version is really good, but too bad you didn't respond to the live version. There you really get a feel for how special and talented she is

[@wojtekgraj7607]

Damn this version is waaaay better. I don't understand why this is such unpopular opinion.

[@YesiPleb]

She made it all up. She said so in an interview.

[@OLGABURROLA]

She not acting . She’s autistic. Beautiful unique artist . She’s been writing songs since she was a child.

[@AndreLilleaas]

Not the best from live . HAIK CONSERT NRK

[@Roy-mw5js]

She read about a Mercy killing, husband, wife, and wrote song about it. She's a gifted writer and singer. My favorite artist and I'm 62 years young😊

[@YesiPleb]

Please watch more interviews she said she made it all up.

[@Roy-mw5js]

@@YesiPleb you have a link to interview? I don't like posting comments if I'm wrong. I thought I saw something from her but maybe I just saw someone's else post it. Bad on me if That's what I was going by.

[@saragates2255]

I heard "he's killing me for mercy" Gorgeous stuff 👍

[@TomTomson81]

It's a mercy killing. Not seed ,mercy. A man kills his wife because she wanted to. The entire song is sung from the woman's perspective. This also means the countdown. She counts down for him to make sure he even manages to do it. She knows he knows he's doing it out of mercy. She can only know because she told him so. Also interesting is the way the two sing and what they say. Aurora who is the victim sings: "and here I go, go, go" While her partner, the perpetrator sings: "go!" That means, her ghost prepares him to be gone forever and he resigns himself to it and gives her the ok with his "go", so to speak.

[@corinnelabita]

Want to agree with everyone else- the Noble Peace concert performance of this song is extraordinary

[@diceau]

anything live is the best and acoustic is even better.

[@kennethbartlett4302]

52 yr old metal head. Aurora is absolutely effing brilliant. I love her so much. Churchyard (live)

[@loris.6614]

Glad you are exploring Aurora. She is absolute magic live, and that is how she should be watched. Through the Eyes of a Child live at Niderasdomen (sp?), It happened Quiet live at the Current, All is Soft Inside live at KPRX are some of my favorites.

[@kippys1]

One of her great early songs -- check out her live versions of this one (e.g. Nobel Prize Concert). Aurora performing live is up in the stratosphere. She has quite a repertoire -- she recently performed at Royal Albert Hall with a full orchestra (for the BBC docuseries Frozen Planet II, music by Hans Zimmer, narrated by David Attenborough). Then very recently worked with Brian Eno on a remix of one of her songs that credits the Earth as a co-author. Several albums out, with a new highly-anticipated one being released in June.

[@JohnHF1957]

Aurora was about 19 in this video and wrote the song when she was 18. One of her other big hits, "Runaway" ,was written when she was 11. Her film clips are awesome but Aurora in live performance is where it is at, she is absolutely mesmerising. I am not aware of another artist in the current musical landscape that can match her.

[@chloe_82]

You need to listen to 'through the eyes of a child' by her live and all her other live performances

[@jamaykapranion1130]

This is my first time hearing this artist. I definitely will be checking out more of her songs. Beautiful voice. Fabulous reaction. 💛

[@Jodi8570]

Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole guys😄 check out 1. It happened quiet live at the Current 2.Runaway live at the peace noble price concert 3. The seed 4. her outstanding versions of David Bowie's "life on mars" ( she did this one also at Howard Stern's show) and the Beatles song "Across the universe" at Like a version. Both are just outstanding 💚

[@byonty886]

she is ethereal, you should listen to some of her live performances, she's amazing on stage, an experience

[@brendapace3541]

1) Running with the wolves 2) apple tree 3) giving in to the love 4) winter bird 5) temporary high

[@raidonbay]

6)Seed

[@raidonbay]

Running with the Wolves Is one of my most listened to songs, besides David Bowie, "Under Pressure"

[@dyazkiprit]

everybody is a gangster until aurora sings. btw, her live performance is always very good, it makes us connected to her song even more

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Thank you ❤🙏! She has made a whole lot of songs- every one is masterpieces - and she is a total musician and creator in everything. Not possible to describe in a few words… Im 63 and have been listening to her for several years… she is amazing in everything ( her interviews as well., she has original thoughts and a very sharp mind) … by the way.. butterflies are also a symbol for the spirit leaving the body… Best from Bergen ( Auroras hometown.. have seen her flotation by a few times.. 🤗🥰) Norway- just keep on exploring Aurora- and keep your heart open, because she speaks to our hearts ❤️❤️❤️

[@MarkBtvd]

The lyric is "He's killed me for mercy." Yes that's a male accompanist, possibly Odd Martin who is credited as co-writer. Aurora states: "It's a tragic love story. Very tragic. The saddest thing is that he really loves her." Suggestion: "Runaway", live, at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert. Watch her eyes. Suggestion: "Through the eyes of a child", live at Nidarosdomen. Note: She's always in motion and her eyes are so expressive.

[@peacefulminimalist2028]

"He's killing me for mercy"

[@MarkBtvd]

@@peacefulminimalist2028 Huh, I've always heard "killed", or maybe heard what I expected. Gotta go listen again. And when I wrote that, I didn't see that a lot of others said the same. Maybe we were all typing at the same time. 🤷🏻‍♂

[@peacefulminimalist2028]

@@MarkBtvd I’ll go listen too. I’ve always heard «killing». One of us is right 😂 Edit: the lyrics agrees with me.

[@KittyKarenpoo]

Best version of this song is at Nidarosdomen and 2nd best is at the Noble Peace concert. Aurora needs to be seen live, and not official video. Aurora, Lucky at Nidarosdomen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d563mqSIZ8SJd9k

[@ronaldmcrae4896]

Aurora is a Gem! Best experienced live. She gets so lost in her performance's you sometimes see her have to physically shake herself back from where she went. Writer, producer dancer, her lyrics are always profound and open to interpretation. She calls her fan base "Warriors and weirdos". I've seen her live, quirky, funny, empathic and a sweet soul.

[@jensbjorkkvist]

This song must be watched live in Noble Peace Price. !!

[@Roy-mw5js]

Love Aurora ❤ True Artist 😊

[@azwilko1997]

yessss definitely need to do more aurora reactions in future. runaway is probably her most known song so you could do that one next or any of the nobel peace prize performance

[@isaacMosqueda]

First time hearing her and she’s amazing! Thanks guys!

[@francescavandaele985]

Been waiting for you to watch her! Love her AND Ren! You have to do It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) It will blow your mind!

[@richardsimpson9039]

Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) live from the Nobel Peace Prize makes me weep. The song isn’t about putting an animal down; it’s called Murder Song for a reason-it’s supposedly is based upon a newspaper story she read about a man who killed his wife when they both discovered that she had an incurable disease.

[@nobodyjustbrad2750]

Aurora is absolutely entrancing live. I recommend any live version over any of her music videos.

[@peikathryn]

One video I definitely prefer is the one for "The Seed".. because of the visuals and "Running with the Wolves" for the same reason.. oh and also "Winter Bird".. lol

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

She is a very special, multi talented artist, her song writing is excellent, she is a fantastic storyteller with beautiful vocals. If you are interested in the production aspect of music, her Nidarosdomen live concert is the epitome of perfection, pipe organ, harp, orchestra, her band, male choir, it is just a beautiful concert. She also has many awesome live performances, perhaps you would like to start with her newest song, Some Type of Skin, live on Vemo just dropped today.

[@lillm6874]

👍😍❤️❤️

[@isadino]

You guys NEEEEDDD to listen to “the seed” from Aurora, it’s so deep. And so so true. Absolutely about corporate greed and it’s just vocally amazing.

[@ranahooke1907]

Yesss. Love Aurora!! ❤❤❤

[@EmeroDotNet]

I love watching reactions to Aurora, because I know they will always end with another fan of this amazing artist and just wonderful human being. So looking forward to you checking out Runaway, and I urge you to read up on it just a little bit after you hear it, just so I can see your reactions to that as well.

[@Pilutta100]

Welcome. She's amazing.

[@hiroakiureshino5938]

WOW! AURORA is so amazing! i recommend you to check live performance at Nidarosdomen. Lucky or Through the Eyes of child is so phenomenal.

[@illuminestra3804]

The Seed official video is worth watching. 🥰🥰🥰

[@angelkiller]

I’m sure you’ll be told this over and over but you should do the live videos of her-she even does a cover of Bowie’s Life on Mars that’s stunning.

[@steflevieuxcriss]

She said once about this song in a life performance ; This is the biggest love song...He killed her for mercy

[@peterjack840]

Aurora made up the story after hearing a similar story on the radio about someone who killed a loved one as a mercy killing. This reminds me of the story, here in Canada, of Robert Latimer from the early 90's. The other singer and guitarist is Odd Martin Skålnes, a fellow Norwegian who wrote and performed with Aurora in her early few years.

[@terryallen7356]

I absolutely love this song of Aurora's but my husband watched for a minute and couldn't watch any more. "It Happened Quiet" is another great song to check out of hers.

[@tx0h]

first: you should listen to much more of her work... ...and last: the nobel peace prize concert version is a bit better than the video. :-)

[@Lulabee2024]

I enjoy your reactions you guys are great. PLEASE...react to her LIVE performances...at least until you get to know her better? This one here SHE'S ONE OF THE ONES. "killing me for MERCY"..(not my seed) lol

[@mark1sweeney]

You should definitely check out “It happened quiet” by her. Haunting and beautiful song about an abusive relationship.

[@jobryan191]

She's not sick. He believes life will inevitably be so unpleasant that he wants to spare her from it. She acquiesces to his point of view.

[@markstuartwakeley]

Welcome to a better world guys stay safe and a new sub

[@skepto-o-punk8286]

Needed to react to the live version. Insane to watch. The chick playing the guitar and harmonizing is absolutely ridiculous. Heart wrenching too.

[@Rackelhane]

Great reaction guys. Aurora is something else for sure. A wonderful artist and human. This is only a little snippet of her cataloge. Check out the concert at the Nidarosdomen. I know you like it. Cheers from a finn in Sweden.

[@arctic-1878]

You definitely should check out live performances from Aurora, she's just amazing.

[@leavemealoneimjustfreespirted]

Always, always, always pick her live versions. Just for future reference. Aurora is one of the only ones whose live performances are actually better than the original videos.

[@maxsteiner1964]

"Killing me for mercy" is the line. Killing me for my seed? You guys crack me up. Anyways, this woman is one of the handful of true artists out there. Almost drowned out by the Taylor Swift'esque that dominate the airwaves now a days. But only almost drown out cos this young woman is making splashes all over the world. She started making music at the age of six. Started to write lyrics/poems at nine and she has written thousands of songs and she is now giving them to us slowly. Well, when I say slowly I mean, she already have four albums out and the fifth is due like two weeks from now, and shes 26 years old. And they are all different sounding. Style, tempo, lyrics. Oh and what lyrics this woman can write. You can read those from a book and its not boring. You boys have only scratched the surface of this Norwegian elf.

[@gphx]

Aurora's songs mean whatever you most need them to mean.

[@Texaszebra82]

My favorite song is To Be Loved. Its actually under the artist Askjell featuring Aurora. She does all the singing but I think Askjell is the writer and producer. Not sure why its this way but it is such a beautiful song.

[@lillia5333]

Aurora❤ a diamond : )

[@veevamm3642]

Do the live version ❤❤❤❤❤

[@ariellejishnu8203]

churchyard at KEXP. ;)

[@Delmar-q2v]

So I never thought of this song as to put down a animal but Aurora was a rose and animal in this great human pass lives.

[@hetherpickwell5174]

Oh I can't wait to see more Aurora reactions!!❤

[@brianpodolsky3949]

Aurora needs to be heard live...no option. Shes fenominal !

[@TheAkal]

You should review her MV of Runaway next. After that perhaps her duet with Pomme called Everything Matters. Truthfully, anything you pick is thumbs up, when it comes to her. Oh yeah, and Exist for Love and my favorite All is Soft Inside. I subbed.

[@Tarkus_]

You just tapped into an S-tier artist. As many others have and will say, she's best experienced live. She does have some cool music videos, though this one is nothing special. Probably the coolest part is that it's shot in one take, without any edits, though most people don't notice anyway. 🤷‍♂️

[@thehonestcritic6577]

No No its He's killing me for Bird Seed Lol

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

you havn't discovered eivor yet. classically trained sopran with a masters degree in traditional nordic vocal techniques, she is home in so many genres. easily one of the best life perfomances of any artist i know is falling free live at the old theater in tórshavn. her vocal qualities are unrivaled

[@notvochkin]

Her voice is incredible, her compositions are fantastic, and when she does covers she makes them her own. In the latter category check out her cover of the Imagine Dragons song "Believer". Her cover gives the song a much different feel and I prefer it over the original. Link to Aurora's Believer kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4TPeZRqlNWbq9E

[@intothedepthscoco]

She's Norwegian and she is saying he knows he killed me for mercy....not for my seed😂

[@maxmacpherson1957]

Aurora is amazing. For another amazing singer please check out Eivor.

[@lillm6874]

Great reaction👍 Had to subscribe in the hopes of more Aurora😍 As others have said, she’s definitely best live, she has some great music videos though, and this isn’t on my list. Her live performance of this song at the Nobel peace prize concert 2015 is a must watch😍

[@xicotencatlaguayo1595]

I ♥ Aurora all her songs are very very good and her voice is so beautiful, she has an angelic voice. Aurora is a work of art represented in a human being. I love this girl, and The warning too 😂

[@timothysmith9128]

Sorry, but I wish you would have done the live version from the Nobel Peace Prize concert. But definitely check out more Aurora! Recommend this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKqof2aDrr2nqMksi=dp-YGildlFiDAr6p

[@celinel9750]

As of all of her song, you interpret it the way you want. But IMO she sing from the point of view of the lady who has been killed by her lover and totaly agree to it as she does count down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and probably for a harsh sickness as it's for mercy. It always reminded me the Latimer story, a guy from Sasktshowan Canada who kiled his daughter who was suffering from a terrible dessease. The case made Canada and particuly in Quebec, question how much a medical intervention can go on and on without considering the souffering. Directly from this case Quebec adopted a law that we call medical help to die, and later on Canada also adopted the same law. If you want it's a kill for mercy. ( As to be done on certain condition with the conscent of the patient and 2 different doctors and worked so well,) Aurora is always better live but her video are also meaningfull (except this one) If you want to be blown away: It happend quiet, live at the current. A cool video: Runing with wolf. For me Aurora and Ren are the best human on the planet, so artistic and creative, singning from their heart for us to grow, to think, to be more concient. So good at storry telling.

[@j.k.1963]

Nicely done. Good thing you listened to your reactors, guys. I am very curious to you reacting to more of Aurora. As many have stated, pick the live versions: from the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert, the 2017 Nidarosdomen concert and all VEVO acoustic versions. But the one you certainly must not miss is the follow up to this song (in line of the horror), the acoustic "It Happened Quiet", live at The Current (which is a radiostation). Fasten your seatbelts and let Aurora thrill you to the bone.

[@X_ch4ng3]

😊👍

[@McM-u2u]

Killing me for mercy, is what she is saying.

[@elizathuy]

You should watch her live performance in Nidarosdomen - Nidaros Cathedral in Norway has an amazing acoustic. So you can imaging her voice in there 🤯❤️

[@Josian-ps7fb]

Aurora said in interview that beyond her own meaning, she enjoys that people interpret her songs in their way. For your information, you should privately check out, if you wish, these 3 live performances of this song, quite different from one to the others. Like many other people, I think it's live that she shines the highest and the brightest, and it will show you an interesting trait of her artistry, that you can't see through a single performance: AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmThIqKi9yLrtk Aurora - Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) - 5/25/2018 - Paste Studios - New York, NY: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYLckJmYp7SgpJI AURORA - Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) [Live at Nidarosdomen]: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moLZl3d6es9jkM0 Anyway, nice reaction to Aurora, this haunting, singing soul, who shares her bursting emotions and tells her truth before fading away...🙂👍

[@siyamafuya7163]

I think I might be the 15742th person to say this…. But live performances of aurora are top notch

[@paulcurlin2789]

I second the watching of Runaway. I know a lot of people prefer live versions but I like the outdoor in the snow video. Beautiful ♥

[@raidonbay]

"I know that he is killing me for mercy."

[@Mark-om3cl]

My fave female singer ever. No one feels the music they perform quite like Aurora, she’s a special talent yet cardi b etc… get all the attention make that make sense. Aurora is beautiful, cute, has an angelic voice writes her own music and is by far the best female live performer I’ve seen. And those expressive eyes just draw me in.

[@ordinaryvalley]

its about mercy killing. live version is 1000 times better 💔

[@Itsjustjazzduh]

Killing me for mercy**

[@silversurfer8278]

Nice reaction guys, with a few red herrings you threw in. Whilst this is a very good performance of this song, the LIVE performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert is absolutely outstanding, as close to perfection as it gets. Make sure that you both have a look at that, for your own sakes.

[@greattheillusion]

Love this song, beautifully tragic. Even moreso is the live version from the Nobel peace concert (nobel peace something anyway.) You don't need to film a reaction to it but definitely check it out. I think it's even more impactful than this one.

[@tomaszbielak]

"beautifully tragic"... indeed

[@opiedopie]

For more songs like this It Happened Quiet (studio or live at the current !) is a great one, also very dark. otherwise if you want more upbeat try some type of skin and your blood, her new singles. Runaway is her most famous song though. Through the Eyes of a child (studio or live at vevo for acapella) is another great one !! pls do more

[@zombiefanner]

Gotta watch the live version, nobel peace prize concert. It will blow your mind, pardon the pun 👍🍀

[@bobbywest9928]

Mercy

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Not butterflies, Moths, she loves them. This is a song about a mercy killing, sung from the point of view of the deceased woman. Her lyrics are always powerful, often deep. Her songs always different and every time she sings she updates them. As she sings in the moment her live stuff is best.

[@jkoll42]

Just a heads up - her live stuff is better than her studio stuff (which is still great). Watching her be completely be in a different world and at the end of the song snapping out of it combined with imho better vocals live than studio.

[@hannahenzel95]

Live version of this song is.... wouh!
