Once you’re done with the albums/EPs, please react to some of her live performances as well. My personal recommendations are : God is a Woman @P3 Live (Ariana Grande cover) It Happened Quiet (Live at Nidarosdomen) Conqueror (Live From The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon)

[@paulknaus595]

A lot of her songs are even better live. They carry so much emotion. Try kzbin.info/www/bejne/jom5qHmsoLOHe8k It's an hour concert, cool show. And my favorite recording of queendom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q36biKScq5p9rZo&start_radio=1

Churchyard is about an abusive relationship. "He told me I could leave, but I wouldn't get far" "He closed all the windows, as his anger broke free" "hate followed him gently, black seized in his heart, whos tearing the love in him apart?" "Please remember me and cry". When he tells her she belongs in a churchyard, he's telling her she'll be in a grave if she leaves

[@belengomezzarzuela]

Hate followed him gently, plant seeds in his heart. Roots' tearing the love in him apart... I think that's the correct lyric, please don't get me wrong.

[@TheEndIsTheStart]

“He told me I belong in a churchyard” also refers to Hamlet. After being rejected by Ophelia(hamlets former lover), hamlet snaps, calls her a whore and tells her she belongs in a convent. From that perspective, it is also a comment on the legacy of the patriarchy and how men have silenced woman in scorn.

[@ygdra_5553]

This album is such a poetic masterpiece: Queendom was written after Aurora's trip in Latin America. It's a song that celebrates differences between people and is meant to be a "safe place" for everyone. Forgotten love is about the beauty of not being in love and appreciating the feeling of being alone. Gentle Earthquakes is about s*x and All is soft inside is about the inner world of introverts and also more specifically about autism. It happened quiet is about murder or r*pe. Chyrchyard is about an abusive relationship and Soft Universe is about the pain of living.

[@Luke-qi6pf]

wasn't forgotten love about letting go? I think she talked about it in an interview when she said she felt sad when she used to forget people she loved that had died

[@kenzaj17]

Hi, thank you for the little explanation! Where did she say All is soft inside is about autism?

[@marierose8580]

fun fact: during her live performances she'll sometimes change the ending lyrics on the IOADK track to "this is the breath, We are the breath" which always causes me to burst into tears so

[@kathleenninuallain6219]

It Happened Quiet is connected to Murder Song and it’s 8 tracks long because her favourite numbers are 8 and 11. The 8th song on each album is her favourite.

[@luisdavid28]

the intro from “Gentle Earthquakes” samples reversed lyrics from one of the songs from Step II, titled “Animal”. It says: “with a goddess...” and “weight upon my shoulders felt...” (Animal, 2019).

[@youdecidewhatmynameis3549]

I can't wait till she reacts to Soulless Creatures on A Different Kind of Human! It's my favorite song on the album.

[@RG56538]

Absolutely her best song imo, also her live in Bergan 2020 video in which she performs that song is fantastic.

[@evandersolis5528]

Saaame, I love that song so much

[@mark4074]

"it happened quiet" is about an abusive relationship that ended up with murder :(

[@kevinarie5678]

What came to mind was more r*ape or abuse.

[@mark4074]

@Alisa White she did say that this song is a continuation of "murder song", from her debut. but aurora's songs are really meant to have different interpretations, i gotta say that. this song could be about rape, or suicide. who knows?

[@nathanromylgequillana2728]

An Ajayll stan I see

[@ghenardinvento1743]

The first thing that came to mind was ajayll stan

[@specificsoup]

If you interpret it literally, someone threw their lover out of a window and killed her, and then her ghost came back to haunt his bed. But it does call to mind both murder and abusive relationships as well as r*pe. I think Aurora has talked about both types of interpretations?

[@megathilman3383]

all of her interviews are damn weirdly cute

[@teddyeatspudding]

her personality is the best. she makes me so happy!

[@WolfyBorealis]

Aurora said in an interview that she's continuously writing an album to be released after she passes so she can 'say something to the world after she's gone'. I believe she also said she's writing a song about/from each decade of her life, so she has 2 songs on that album already...

"It Happened Quiet" is my fave 🥺

[@mashthempotatoesplease5401]

Honestly, the whole album is my favorite. But if I had to pick, it'd be All Is Soft Inside.

[@Demonfoxgirl2459]

Honestly, Aurora is the closest thing to a goddess, not because I see her as inhuman or something higher than human, but because she represents humanity as a sound and feeling that reminds me what humans are capable of. That out of body feeling where you are victim to the waves of emotion and raw note manipulation is not abnormal regarding Aurora. Her voice and capacity for human depth through song and lyrics are quite a feat. It's why I love her so much, she believes in humanity and never fails to show me why I matter to the world. Her music video "The Seed" was the first thing I ever saw from her and from that moment I was transfixed. "The Seed" Music Video is still the best music video I have ever seen and that has never changed. I do hope react to that because truly it is why I came to love her music. Many of her fans call her Mother Nature and hat out of body experience you get listening to her as she describes things of beauty and displaying points of view is something worth truly loving.🥰

[@flwrsforlay]

p a r a s o c i a l

[@Demonfoxgirl2459]

@carnivall ah, looked up that word real quick. To some degree you may be right on that, but I will say I don't really have that idolizing image towards her. It's more along the lines of 'I know she is different than how she is on screen, but on screen this is the vibe she gives off'. Perhaps that only pushed parasocial vibes anyway. I just really love how music can make you feel, especially the ones that viscerally resonate with you and make you want to move. Maybe it's my maladaptive daydreaming that amplifies that feeling since I physical move and am stuck in imagery that music provides me? I'm not sure fully, but I guess I am now aware of parasocialism now so thank you? Haha

[@leana8336]

Im pretty sure « it happened quiet » is about domestic violence, or at least thats how i interpret it. A lot of clues in the lyrics

[@mr.non-existent8137]

Whenever I hear that song I always think of the movie "The Lovely Bones"

[@TheOnlyOpie]

She said somewhere that It Happened Quiet was written as a prequel to Murder Song, which she insists isn't about domestic violence, but is a very tragic love story. Still, as art is open to interpretation, both songs could easily fit into that frame of narrative.

[@APHxVOCALOID12lover]

I think she mentioned that it's about killing a lover

[@daniieevans1898]

I don’t know if you would be open to reacting to a concert by her, but her concerts Haik and live at Nirodesomen (however its spelt) are truly stunning and an ethereal experience, especially Infections of a different kind (the song) live at Haik. Takes the breathe away from me

[@mortenBP]

Last song "infections" I think she changed the last words to "This is the breath, We are the breath" on later performances. At least I heard that on a live performance.

This is another quite dark song packaged in a breezy, jumpy tone. "He told me I belong in a churchyard." A churchyard is a cemetery. He told me I should be dead.

9:20 If you haven't watched "Once Aurora" yet, the documentary of after her first album was released, her tour, and her writing of this album, I'd check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIW8iaqBm7SppNk Step I and Step II were written as a 16 track album. The record label wanted to take advantage of a good thing and break it apart, against what her and her manager wanted... at least initially. I think breaking them apart was probably a good move in the end. After putting together the original 16 track album, and between the two albums being released, she seemed to have added a few additional songs for the second album, bringing the total up to 19 tracks between the two. I definitely think this EP is her best "album", but there are some incredible tracks on Step II and The Gods We Can Touch. The song "A Different Kind of Human" is probably one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard. I've seen so many people burst into tears in their reaction to that song. Her live performance of it at 'Somehwere Else Festival" was definitely the most powerful version. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4G0Ya2Ji9-impI
