LESS IS MORE - AURORA - LIFE ON MARS COVER (FIRST TIME HEARING AND REACTION)

[@Lonniebird]

Your example of an overly done run near the end. 😂 Sam, you’re so much fun.

[@Pookiee-1031]

Lol.. yeah, his run was killer, huh?! 😂🤣

[@Sam_TB]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jefferyedoherty]

Aurora is magic! Pure.

[@Roy-mw5js]

Her voice control is incredible 😊

[@Tinkerbell9332]

I actually was just showed this artist yesterday!! She is very unique, and has a beautiful voice!

[@vickyknight4461]

Loved your reaction Sam. Aurora is so talented. I love her ethereal dreamy like voice. She does emit calm..gorgeous. 🥰 Your little rendition of Scarborough Fair made me chuckle!

[@tundiel]

Glad you got around to Aurora! She's just magical ❤ Thanks for reacting, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! You can pick any song from her, and you'll love it, I promise. 😊

[@RuneMoenHolmen]

Espesially live ❤

[@Sam_TB]

Many more to come I hope😊 thanks for watching👍🏼

[@Roy-mw5js]

Love Aurora ❤

[@charrings]

Loved watching this 😊

[@lillm6874]

Great reaction to this beautiful performance, I’m pretty sure Bowie would’ve loved it too❤️ Subscribed👍 Aurora has a lot of great covers like for example: “Across the universe” by The Beatles live at Triple J Like a Version “Believer” by Imagine Dragons live at P3 This was a challenge. When she arrived the radio station she was given a list of songs to choose from. She had never heard of the band or the song, but only chose it because she loves dragons lol She had an hour to rehearse before singing it live👍 “Teardrop” by Massive attack live at Triple J Like a Version “Famous blue raincoat” by Leonard Cohen live in Oslo “Nature boy” live at Nidarosdomen But her own songs are worth checking out, and you can basically pick any song😍 I recommend: “Through the eyes of a child” live at Nidarosdomen This is an important song for her “It happened quiet” live at Current This song was inspired by domestic violence, she gets killed and in the end she comes back to haunt him. “The Seed” official video or live at HAIK “Little boy in the grass” live at Nidarosdomen She wrote this after losing a friend in the awful massacre on the tiny island Utøya in Norway on the 22 of July 2011, where 69 people (mostly youths) were shot and killed🥺❤️ Her new album is amazing, and the first song I recommend is “A soul with no King” live at Vevo Love all the songs though 😍😍

[@Pookiee-1031]

That's such a pretty song. I love me some David Bowie, but she really made it her own. Great reaction! 🤍

[@Sam_TB]

Thanks Pookie, appreciate you watching!

[@dlbwoodbury]

Welcome to the Queendom. She recently released her fourth album “What Happened to the Heart.” She has really matured. Her poetry is next level.

[@paulkossak7761]

That vintage Fender Rhodes she's playing fits so well with her vocal style.

[@tx0h]

nice reaction. she is very good with covers, and yes, she covered 'scarborough fair' from simon & garfunkel. but let me tell you: her own songwriting is over the top. thanks.

[@Sam_TB]

When you say “over the top” does that mean good? Where I am from that would mean bad😅

[@Ugleseth]

I came to your channel because of Ren, but as a Norwegian, seeing you react to Aurora is really nice.

[@Sam_TB]

Cheers😊

[@kevdenn]

Aurora has already done a cover of "Scarborough Fair", parsley, sage rosemary and tyme. It's on KZbin. She did it as part of a TV series.

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Great reaction, and yes, sometimes less is more and she definitely knows it. Don't get me wrong, she can really belt it out, but she doesn't rely on that for most of her songs, she really knows how to deliver songs and she is very acrobatic with her voice. I posted a link to her cover of Scarborough Fair on your discord which you asked about. Aurora is very on diverse in her songs, she is a lyrical genius, IMO, and wonderfully quirky and weird, her fans are Warriors and Weirdos. Thanks.

[@tylermccoll9961]

She does sing parslay sage and time and does good at it

[@Sam_TB]

I’ll be checking that out as my next Aurora reaction😊

[@anastasiagreene5967]

I love her covers!!!! NATURE BOY is my favorite ❤

[@Sam_TB]

Never heard of that, maybe one for next time😊

[@cherrybomb1386]

Love Aurora if u wanna hear one of her songs I'd go with Murder song 5 4 3 2 1 first then Runaway(which she wrote when she was 11 i think)

[@nycklmuffins]

Aurora has the voice of an angel and does so well at expressing herself.

[@russell2449]

There's that part near the end where her voice rings so crystal clear, like the finest silver bell imaginable, her voice is unlike any other ;?)

[@bobdouglas6193]

Your parting comment - get in touch with her or her agent to do that classical folk song 'Scarborough Fair', good suggestion.

[@noorieiversen]

You must check out her live performance of A soul with no king. ❤she is in the same league as Ren for me. Her live performances of Exhale inhale and Soulless creatures will move you. ❤

[@flomalheur7467]

Her cover of the Beatles song "Across The Universe" is also highly recommended.

[@bobm3434]

Yes an amazing performance. This version is her " sad" version. The version on.howard Stern is her " frustrated " performance. My personal favorite. The story being told is one of.....WTF is wrong with us humans.....and the story teller asking....is there life on Mars? Can't be any worse then here.

[@gastonberaldo6360]

In the version of this song live at nidarosdomen she show her full vocal power . OMG

[@myrthetheunissen]

Sometimes less is more.. fliebediebiepplebbedeldep 😂

[@Sam_TB]

😂😂

[@johnytwo]

She has already done the song. But you know what? Just choose any cover by her (or any of her songs, of course) and it is damn perfect. Life on Mars is something special though, because it is more than perfect, which obviously, cannot be, but she made it be such. :)

🌹

[@Delmar-q2v]

Come on step in to the home you will be welcome

[@lennarthedlund9783]

It´s a Fender Rhodes electric piano

[@Roy-mw5js]

Simonand Garfunkel Scarborough fair. As already said She does a cover and you can find it on uou tube😊

[@Tarkus_]

👍😍🤟

[@tundiel]

The song you mean is Scarborough Fair by the way 😂

[@Sam_TB]

Yeah I got that now😅

[@cassandracurse7065]

☺

[@cassandracurse7065]

Scarborough Fair would be nice

[@situ_sohum]

i recomment heilung - anoana live performence to you sir

[@dagwigum7363]

Traditional starting point is Murder Song fra Nobel Peace Price Concert 😀

[@tylermccoll9961]

Fu king love this guy

[@trishteixeira1221]

Super random one but Heilung is pretty interesting if you haven’t heard their music. I can’t get over the instruments.I’m pretty sure they’re all kept to like viking/iron age.. animal skin drums and stuff. Pretty cool.

[@Sam_TB]

Never heard of that, you should join the discord Trish, pop it in the requests😊 sounds interesting anyway so I will jot it down. Thanks👍🏼

[@trishteixeira1221]

Will do!

[@dagwigum7363]

Heilung - Anoana will blow your mind - there is a live version from Hammersmith Theatre

[@mortenlund6720]

I just wonder - how do you become super experienced in something, whithout practicing it a lot? :)

[@GhostlyEcheveria]

I never mind when a reactor just gets lost in the song. There isn't much to critique, but there is SO much to be said about AURORA as a human and an artist. I'm sure if you continue listening to AURORA, you will understand just what I mean. She's such a special artist/human. I can only imagine how proud Bowie would have been if he had a chance to witness this performance. Bowie said that Lorde was going to make a big impact on music, but that's because he had probably never heard Aurora. Despite basically being raised by David Bowie, I had never really listened closely to the lyrics of this song until I heard AURORA sing it, and she helped give this song a whole new meaning. Aurora always sings effortlessly. It seems to come completely naturally to her. As for a song I'd love to hear AURORA sing....I'd probably say "Fade into You" by Mazzy Star. I'd also love to see her cover a Bjork song like "Hyperballad".

[@Sam_TB]

The colour of the T-shirt here isn't doing me any favours. I look like a tomato pureed all over me...…apologies.
