Hi, first time hearing Aurora. I really have no words......it's a mix of emotion and something hard to describe......Pure. Perfect. beautiful. Love from Portugal

[@DIN_A8]

Enjoy your trip discovering Aurora :)

[@PilloryClinton]

@Francisco Welcome to the sweetest person on the planet. Greetings from Florida, USA

She is as vulnerable as finely spun glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you open and heals you at the same time. Who does that? She is a siren in the form of a wood numph. Resistance is futile.

[@ypey1]

Level gained!

[@michaelaghmalone-hansen5656]

There is a moment, when she sings she “can’t remember much more” that you see her involuntarily shake/shiver like she is shaking something off, maybe a memory. Then we see her look off, to her right, and it seems like she is somewhere else, at that moment.

[@avedic]

This entire performance is an intense example of the power of nuance and subtlety....

[@John-re2qw]

Aurora is, I think, unrivaled in her ability to write compelling lyrics on very serious issues and in bringing beauty to dark themes.

[@NEIL-CURCIO]

you encapsulated Aurora perfectly

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

well, no. you cannot talk about aurora without talking about susanne sundfor first.

[@John-re2qw]

@@soleywolfgangsdottir Why? Susanne Sundfor is brilliant but did she write material of the quality of "Through The Eyes Of A Child", "Daydreamer", "The River", "Winter Bird", "The Seed", "It Happened Quiet", "Murder Song", "Lucky", "All Is Soft Inside", "Runaway", "Running With The Wolves", "Warrior" and many others by the time she was 25? I think not. Seven of the Aurora songs I listed were written when she was a teenager and even younger.

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

@@John-re2qw apparently you are not familliar with susanne sundfors songwriting skills and your argumentation is utterly nonsense

[@John-re2qw]

@@soleywolfgangsdottir Not an argument, an opinion, supported by facts, so not utter nonsense. You can agree or disagree. The point still remains, as good as Susanne is, she did not produced the same quality as Aurora at the same age. What is nonsense, however is your lack of respect, as you can't even bother to use capital letters for Susanne's name and your laziness/ignorance of grammar in general. Wolfgang needs to find another daughter.

I'm in tears. Turn on your psychologist and listen to her words. I think She is not singing as much as that her song is her safe place. She is there mentally. Even her guitarist looked at her with awe.

Did something happend to her. I mean I understood the lyrics.

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

I am not sure what she has endured. After being part of a group of parent lifelines that has advised many hurting victims of atrocities for over 5 years. I do not neccessarily need to know or want to know what she has been through till she is ever ready to talk. I will say that The National Center For Missing and Exploited Children (Team Hope) saved my life.

[@timgrodesky4694]

It's not like Aurora has one or two great songs but every single one is just a magnificently crafted moment of time to get lost in reflection. Another achingly beautiful song to me is her performance of Infections of a Different Kind or Warrior from the Haik concert/documentary and would be my suggestion for future reactions. Another great insightful reaction and really liked what you had to say about this song. Keep them coming!

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

She is a Life Changer and a Healer........one of the kind indeed. Aurora is so talented and gifter, but, above all, a beautiful human being Love and Magic......can you imagine......just Aurora and Silja and the outcome is this masterpiece!

[@troydruckenmiller1751]

She was literally there.

[@RandallMorris222]

I have interpreted this as much darker, involving actual windows, actual falling, and blood on the ground. Aurora writes and performs in ways that truly bare her soul, but she often writes about the experiences of other people and interprets them through her own emotional lens. That's what I thought was going on. Your interpretation is much more comfortable and I like it. Thanks.

[@JaniceDAgostino]

In agreement. She “can’t remember much more” with that confused frown led me to a far darker interpretation as well. Feathers falling from a pillow… is unnatural without a ripping of the cover somehow. I did not see pretty red flowers, and her return from a shadow world to haunt her lover added to the darkness for me.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

@@JaniceDAgostino oh that’s actually a good point. Especially the ripping a pillow. This is why I love brainstorming various interpretations. Well said

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Hi Randall. Very valid point on your part too tho. I like how we all hear different things

[@StickyCatStudios]

Everyone interprets differently, and for this reason (also her hope) Aurora doesn’t like to explain her songs, but I’m pretty sure the darker interpretation is closer the truth, that this song is a story of domestic violence … no matter how beautiful the song, the meaning may still be horrific … for instance, Through The Eyes Of A Child, it is inspired by an event occurred in Norway, a mass killing of school children, and Aurora was effected deeply by it, one of her childhood friends was one of those killed in the attack

[@StickyCatStudios]

Oh, last thing I wish share, for your consideration, watch again and look for … in the middle, after one of the refrains, “and I can’t remember much more … but I know it happened … quiet” … she makes a flinching motion, as if remembering (or more likely emotionally connecting with the story of) being struck, out of nowhere, and after the flinch, there’s a rocking movement, which is one of the body’s ways of providing self comfort … and if that is the story for her (she self describes the importance of music for her is to tell stories) then it gives much meaning to “falling like a flower on the meadow,” and the hints or red which make us think of maybe, blood

[@olafwiese6728]

Hello Rosalie, you have chosen a very good song. AURORA is the queen of harmonies. This is a masterpiece. Your analysis is great again. The song is about the rape of a woman - some say. I find it interesting that the lyrics are so sad (violence in relationships leading to death) and on the other hand the music is very beautiful (harmonies) and doesn't give me that sad feeling. The music is more soothing. This contrast struck me in many of her sad songs. Does she want to spread hope? You can change something. You can't let it get to that point. And then everything is better. An invitation to change something, to change yourself. You have it in your own hands. Is that what this contrast is supposed to do? And let's not forget that this was sung live on a radio station. Many artists want this perfection when they go into a studio and after many, many attempts have recorded their song. And let's not forget that this perfection would not have been possible without her accompaniment and backing vocalist. Silja Sol is also an outstanding singer and musician. AURORA is lucky to work with such good artists. Or is it her ability to choose the right ones? This is also the case with the Murder song at the Nobel Peace Prize concert - that you should see. - Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmThIqKi9yLrtk - the saddest love song I've ever heard - Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d563mqSIZ8SJd9k - the song is her way of suicide prevention - The Seed (Official Video - VEVO) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX7GkIKDatSBd5o - it's about the climat change, AURORAS “Earth Song” - Exist For Love (Official Video - VEVO) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYqnnKWAls52qNk - best love song ever!!! - Cure For Me (Official Video - VEVO) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWKalZluZrd_b7s - this cheerfulness of the music - even though she is hurt. - Queendom (Official Video) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYavloubhtCkmpI - about her queendom?? - Warrior (Live on the Honda Stage) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2THp3Zqqal8adU - it is for her warrios Important information: AURORA is holding back one song from every decade of her life to release those songs as the last album after her death.

I honestly believe that Aurora is a conduit for pure energy when she sings. It's so special. I'd be very interested to see what you think/feel about her music video for The Seed. That one made me cry, too many emotions at once.

[@larryc3860]

isn't she so special....? she has the amazing ability to connect to everyone's emotional core....this song is dark - about a complicated love affair that may be "dead"....."are your dreams as dead as they seem....?"

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

She is different. Her songs are all different and each time she sings, it is different. Her way of seeing the world, of thinking, is different to us mere mortals.

[@nerve60]

This song and performance is basically the definition of why I like Aurora so much. How she sang so beautifully and pitch perfect about such a dark subject matter is mind blowing! This song should not be so peaceful yet through her artistry, it is. Simply amazing!

[@Smaugyyy]

Rosalie, thank you for another wonderful reaction! This is imo the most beautiful version of the song, with Silja Sol on the acoustic guitar as the harmonic layer. For me it has a dark message, she sings about a difficult relationship, love and violence, and revenge. She deals with this topic in different songs, like "Churchyard" (Live on KEXP) and "I went too far" (could be the music video here, it´s beautiful)!

[@cabel000]

I loved the way she sings and interprets the song with her whole body. I didn't notice if she was wearing shoes but my guess is that she isn't.

Her voice is so hauntingly mellow. The girl singing with her is a perfect match to Aurora's. When the came together at that one part and harmonized it was gorgeous! What an amazingly beautiful spirit she is 😍

[@bartonbagnes4605]

Aurora leaves her songs open for interpretation. To me it sounds like a young girl who was playing with someone she trusted and cared about, who took advantage of her. Her innocence withering like a flower that was picked and dropped on the meadow.

[@rodocopper]

Well, in this case the story is clear and unambiguous: one lover kills other (pushing out of the window). Aurora describes that story herself this way at her second performance at KEXP.

[@jeffmalloy8200]

She co-wrote this with Sasha Skarbek who also co-wrote the song Wrecking Ball for Miley Cyrus. As far as I know there is no music video for this song. There are probably videos of her performing it live at various venues.

[@salsaucedo]

So connected and mesmerized by the beauty of her voice, this is why I love her more this way and her audio recordings than her live performances. Just close your eyes and absorb the music and her gorgeous lyrics, I swear she had to be inspired by Led Zeppelin's third album which was very folksy, especially with the songs "Tangarine" and "That's the Way" so divinely done, what more can we say about this young lady. I just now joined the first tier on your Patreon, let's see where this takes us EYO. I just thought about it there is a new sensation in South Korea of a new singer Kim So Yeon who is basically the same style of folksy style singing only difference is that Kim is always with her acoustic guitar.

[@adamlorenz4748]

Thanks for introducing me to Aurora. This was outstanding

Much to explore with her music: for instance her music video for THE SEED; or her live performances of CHURCHYARD and ALL IS SOFT INSIDE at KEXP in 2018; her music video for CURE FOR ME -- as well as her dance tutorial for that song; her concert that was performed in a forest (HAIK 2019); as well as her vocals in the new BBC documentary Frozen Planet 2 (2022); her duet with French singer Pomme ( EVERYTHING MATTERS, 2022); and the list goes on ...

I also have a much darker interpretation of this song. Everything from the words to her demeanor, while performing it, lead me to believe this song is about domestic violence.

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

One of the things I love about Aurora's music is to interpret it. I've never been much for that in the past, but with Aurora I have to try and understand everything, haha :) Loved your reaction! Hope to see you do more Aurora.

[@kaiiser2190]

Aurora has a performance of Murder song exactly on the place you edited on Google maps, it was on a documentary and it's just her dancing through that streets (just a fun fact)

[@vincentmb238]

That was a great reaction. I really liked your analysis and you gave me some keys. As for the meaning, I like the way you see it, even though it's not the same thing to me at all. Your imagination is more... happy. I even got chills listening to you.

[@tyghe_bright]

This is a "sequel" to Murder Song, which she has described as a "complicated relationship". On a literal level, this is describing someone being shot by their lover through a pillow and falling out the window. But the circumstances she's left open to interpretation.

[@lillm6874]

No it’s not😉 She said herself that murder song is about mercy killing and It Happened quiet is inspired by domestic violence, two quite different things. Show me a link to where she says that👍😊 Murder Song “Her, she didn't want to be in this world anymore, and she knew that this man would do anything for her. She asks him to kill her and he said : 'Ok, I love you, I would do anything for you.' After he killed her, he became sad because she didn't move anymore and he didn't understand where she went. He didn't understand why she left and he start crying. And it is sad, because for the rest of his life, he will not understand and he will be sad." AURORA

[@steinjensen8220]

Hi Rosalie - love your reactions and glad you have discovered Aurora and Angelina. An absolute must see is the HAIK-documentary, where we "get to know" Aurora, and see what a gentle, nice and down to earth-person she is. At the end Aurora performs for her fans in the wood where she spent a lot of time as a child/teenager. Yes 1 hour 16 minutes long, but well worth watching, and hopefully we will get to see your reaction to it... 😊👍

[@theMadMan74]

So glad you managed to watch this and great reaction. IMO one of Aurora's finest live studio performance. And what you said at the end about mattering, her recent live RHYTHM BY MODZIK performance with Pomme in Everything Matters is a great follow-up.

[@RunarNyrud]

Beautiful react Rosalie. Obvious you are very intelligent and understand very much in only one listening. Great!! i subs you on your Aurora journey.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thanks so much

[@Geralt26]

Very cool reaction. It was pleasure to watch it :). Also agree on many comments about Aurora. And about interpreting song: in my opinion it is about domestic violence and/or overusing power against someone else. This interpretation is also in line with her tone. She says love is wild not in a wild way but with sad way. Also in some moment her body movement was very visible when she "shake" and moving up and down on her feet to calm down as she is very into the song and emotions of it. But as you said she has usually very poetic lyrics and open for interpretations for each ppl. And she even said in interviews that she wants others to interpret it for themselves and sometimes she does not talk about her meaning or only giving tips (but it depends from the song too - f.e. for a Runaway she even made a video for Genious with her meaning when she wrote it when she was 11 :) ).

[@soleywolfgangsdottir]

one of her best performances. together with life on mars and believer my favourite song by her. stripped back to the basics she displays her true talent. i'm not such a fan of her studio work though. but while everybody is talking about aurora you should first take a look onto susanne sundfor, who is a role model of aurora. i have a snippet of the nrk p3 music award 2014, where susanne receives the prize with a very young aurora admiring her. another vocal giant is anna von hausswolff from sweden

[@dmwalker24]

Definitely a good pick. I love this version, because they're performance is very precise, the audio is very high-quality, and the arrangement is so simple that it's easy to focus on exactly what she's doing. I find her voice overall to be quite stunning of course, but it's particularly the very subtle nuance you were talking about that continually amazes. I agree that it's from a place of authenticity, which is unfortunately quite rare these days.

[@Lightning_Alert]

Another wonderful reaction; one of the things that is truly amazing about Aurora reactions is because she elicits such genuine emotion. The things you felt were both personal and exactly what was meant to be conveyed to you by the song. As a follow-up, I highly recommend the live version of Aurora - Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) - from The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmThIqKi9yLrtk ). I believe that one of the things that makes Aurora so special is that she is able to bring light to subjects not often, if ever discussed, and does so with the dignity and respect that those subjects deserve.

[@i_am_m3384]

TBH I've never heard (or seen, if you add her facial and bodily expressions to it) a song about domestic violence, which is so explicit about, what is happening in the lyrics of this song, but on the other hand the delivery is so beautiful, that someone sometimes would forget (or even don't realize), what's really going on.

Hey, great reaction ! :D I love how much time you take to reflect on the meaning of the song at the end of the reaction, and share your heartfelt impressions... Too many reacters just watch the song and end it there imo - I love this kind of exchange and brainstorm afterwards :) Although I must respectfully disagree with your approach of the song - but maybe that comes from knowing a bit more of the Aurora context. She mentioned several times that it's "a very sad love story", and that one lover kills the other... the blood, falls and haunting are to be taken very literally in my eyes. Although I agree with you - there is such an ambiguity with comfort, love, softness, you can really tell how much she loves this person and how unreal and dreamy the situation is... but for me that translates to confusion at the pain she is feeling, confusion and pain that reaches Aurora as she sings (watch her bounce on her heels at the second "it happened quiet"...) All in all though I really appreciate your reaction, and your reactions of Aurora in general !! I really hope you'll keep going with them because I love listening to your thoughts about them :)) If I may, and I know your list is already long, I'd love to recommend my absolute favorites of hers: - The Seed. Watch the music video instead of a live imo, the way it is shot is breathtaking. - The River. A bit more of an uplifting song, I'd recommend her live performance at the Glasgow COP26 concert :) - Running with the Wolves. The music video is also exceptional - Queendom. Definitely more uplifting, her performance live on KEXP is one of her most energetic and enthralling I have ever seen - and, having seen her dance, you know all the weight of those words ;) Thanks for reading to the end of this wall, and have a wonderful day!! I'm so glad I caught this video so early :)

Hello :-) thank you so very much for such a kind and constructive comment. I appreciate the encouraging words, and I appreciate how you expressed what you know.

@@rosalieelliottofficial Oh ! Thank you :D Fun fact actually, i recently learned from a friend that "telios" means "perfect" in Greek.... Totally unintentional but hey 😅 And thanks for considering my recommendations ! You will definitely not regret the Aurora rabbit hole... She's quite the singer, and each of her songs are so vivid and memorable that I've spent hours just diving into them, watching her concerts, a couple interviews even. Which i don't usually do, cuz I'm not one to fawn over celebrities - but she is such a unique being outside of her songs that it's worth it. As a matter of fact, maybe the final recommendation I'll leave you with today is, when you feel like it, to give her interview by Lifekeys a listen. Probably not on camera because it's over an hour long - but if ever you wanna figure out some more about her as a person, that interview is chock full of introspection and extremely mature reflections about the world which i found truly inspiring. Anyways, thanks for answering my long-winded rants and a good evening to you !

The ambiguity is deliberate, In an interview she said she wanted the listener to determine their own meaning from the lyrics.

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

As you said, "when you're in the presence of an artist". Truer words have never been spoken. I have been following and loving the music of Aurora and band for years now. The one constant that keeps me here with this genius, and her amazing friends, is the rather shocking amount of musical knowledge and intuition they have. As individuals, and as a band, they always show a true understanding of the music, whether its one of their original pieces, or a cover. This sounds obvious, but its really quite rare. Most singers/bands didnt write the song, and dont care about it. Who can blame them? imho

Thank you, I like your reactions, you get AURORA'S gift. A singer I also that acknowledges that seeing AURORA's Runaway helped inspire her to want to share her gifts too, Billie EIlish. Billie's 'Everybody Dies' on Howard Stern. Somewhat dark song but her vocal talent shines thru,.,,, and she had a cold during the performance! Thank you again, AURORA is a world treasure...

Very nice reaction🤗 This is a beautiful song, but with very sad lyrics. It’s inspired by domestic violence, possibly rape but most certainly murder😥 “‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’ - which is about someone that is stronger… a grown up with a child, a teacher with a student - someone that takes advantage of their power and uses it in the wrong way. It’s inspired by domestic violence.” AURORA “In my more delusional stories like ‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’, the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt them.” AURORA Could you please react to: “All is soft inside” live at KEXP Iceland 2018🙏😍 Aurora with some energy 👍

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Oh wow. Interesting. Thank you for the info and suggestion.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Your suggestion sounds very intriguing too :)

[@lillm6874]

@@rosalieelliottofficial It’s a great performance 👍😍

[@Tarkus_]

Yes, that recommendation is awesome! A completely different (fun) side of Aurora!

[@brianpodolsky3949]

Yes definately do that set from Iceland. Its one of my favorites. Aurora is just magic. Ahe is so unique.

[@yarsheets4572]

Oddly enough, I don't think there is a music video for It Happened Quiet. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. This is arguably her best recorded performance of it, but as with all songs Aurora, she has interpreted it many ways. Just none "officially." I have always thought this to be about domestic violence, and possibly murder ("I will return from the shadows."). Aurora has so many dark lyrics in her songs. Not all for sure, but she is a queen of darkness, floated over to you in a way that makes you dream that darkness could go on forever. Meanwhile, her music and her voice carry you to mystical lands of beauty. Such an enigma. More like her, please.

[@virtualevanh]

The song is a story about a love so wild and dark, about someone killing their lover, throwning them out a window and landing and bleeding on a meadow. Its the second song that shes created about a relationship where one murders the other

Rosalie! I miss your Aurora reactions! I hope u get to her Nidarosdomen performance of Lucky! You'll love it...

[@pianoman4967]

Rosalie that was a great reaction. You have more to say that's relevant than most reactors. I usually learn something new from you every time. To make our watch "more balanced" however, you take up most of the screen and the little clip is down in the corner. Consider maybe moving more to your left (my right) so the complete video is easier to watch and absorb. Near 40% of screen space is lost at the moment.👍🏻💖

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

thank you for the constructive feedback :)

[@Mike_H76]

Great reaction! I'd note another time she puts a lot of power in while starting light and wispy is "don't you speak over MY VOICE"... she appears meek and gentle, but she's got a warrior spirit for sure. I know enough to not speak over her voice, when she says it like THAT! My interpretation is that this could be a continuation of Murder 54321 or it could be a song about "innocence lost", virginity wise... or perhaps, though I shudder to think, a more awful violation. I like your interpretation more though, it's much nicer!!!

[@callmeleo]

For me this song will always be about traumatic event. And I can recover from that but the person who hurt me will never forgive what they did to me. That is how I feel the lyrics.

[@donotthink]

Just wanted to say you want to project those analytical skills alot more. I thought I was watching something regular, but you came in with the analysis at the end. You definitely got it. Just gotta figure out how to package it.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Thank you for the feedback :)

[@annehyden1088]

one take !

[@simonebaumeister9618]

Can you please react to "AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert". Its so expressive and wonderful too.

[@mrgboxx]

Nice one! Rosalie, have you heard Yebba before? "My Mind" live at SoFar will blow your mind!

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

Yes :-) amazing artist and song! I would like to add some of her music here but still trying to figure out which song, that I don’t know yet. Any suggestions?

[@mrgboxx]

@@rosalieelliottofficial have you seen her Tiny Desk concert? that's probably the best and most current. if not she has many other good videos. There is Evergreen, filmed in a Church she used to go to. the song is written for her late mom who she lost to suicide, actually a week or so after doing that my mind performance. There's also Gravity (john mayer) covered by Yebba and Clark Beckham. Theres October sky a really nice song. just throwing out a few ideas.

[@Capitaomac1]

If I remember correctly, this is about domestic violence. It connects to another song called Churchyard. I believe she is killed by her man and comes back to haunt him.

[@MaraxisArcanist]

I just discovered your channel a couple days ago but I've enjoyed your reactions and your musical journey. I haven't gone through the hundreds of comments, but I'm sure someone by now has suggested you check out Aurora guest singing with Wardruna. I highly suggest it as well! While you're in that part of your world journey, you should also give Heilung a listen. Perhaps one of their new songs like Anoana, but you can't go wrong with any of them!

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

hello and welcome :) and thank you. :) listened to Anoana. It is amazing!! I need to check out more heilung at some point.

[@rosalieelliottofficial]

You can find it in my videos :) enjoy

[@MaraxisArcanist]

@@rosalieelliottofficial Nice, I'll watch it now! I didn't see it on my first pass. 😁

[@MaraxisArcanist]

Huh, I still can't locate it. Ah well. I'm sure you loved it. 😂

[@NoirHammer]

If they ever do a remake of "Lemora: A Child's Tale of the Supernatural", she should be the lead.
