Music teacher reacts - AURORA - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen)

[@CeltHDfifa]

That whole concert is just amazing.. and its on youtube.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Ya! I’m gonna have to watch more for sure ❤️

[@Allexstrasza]

The expression you have is that of a proud teacher

[@jennifersmusicpage]

She’s amazing!!! And even though I didn’t teach her I am proud ❤️

[@evelynbaclig5809]

Here for you as your new subscriber...Aurora is incredible...Been watching all her performances...the latest is her take of the song,Take me back home...accompanied by a magnificent symphony orchestra...

[@avedic]

There's SO much great Aurora material to recommend. Honestly, anything from Nidarosdomen will be amazing. But because you're a music teacher, the two I'll single out are....the one and only performance of Soulless Creatures she did live with the Bergen Orchestra. It's mesmerizing. And....the Currents live performance of It Happened Quiet, which is one of the best demonstrations of how subtlety can convey power in music that I've ever witnessed. That one is ALL about nuance...micro gestures, both musical and physical. It's a powerful haunting performance. Have fun! It's impossible to go wrong falling down the Aurora rabbit hole.

[@avedic]

Also, I'm so ready for Halloween I can't even explain...lol As well as autumn in general. That's when I come alive....being the left hand path weirdo introvert I am. ;)

[@Geffi01]

Her voice is like a scalpel that cuts right into your soul.

[@maxsteiner1964]

Welcome to Warriors and weirdos. You will like it here. Love from Norway.

[@terryallen7356]

I'm ready for Halloween! Aurora is on a different level for sure. You might also want to check out Aurora singing "It Happened Quiet" and "5-4-3-2-1 Murder Song"

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Thanks! Will do sometime ❤️

[@Smaugyyy]

Second this, best are the "Live at the current" and "Nobel peace prize" versions respectively, imo.

[@0Kdiddy0]

"It happend quiet" preformed at the current and "murder song" preformed at the Nobel piece prize are her best performances of these 2 songs. Can't wait to see more of your reactions!!

[@shawnc666]

You Struck GOLD here! I'm a 52 year old 80's Metal Head who grew up on "everything".......from Motown, to 70's Pop Rock, to Disco, to Funk....and so much more. I discovered Aurora probably 2 years ago and was immediately captured. Aurora's fanbase seems 'very' diverse. I hope you dig into this more!

[@simplydifferent7712]

Im a 45, almost 46 year old man. And i always cry at this song. It touches my soul so hard, so beautiful.I've seen her live in 2016 and she did this song too, and many cried in the audience including me. I love her angel voice. Just cry if you need, it's healthy. That's also what she said, emotions need to be express.

[@dmwalker24]

She wrote this in 2015 as a last minute addition to her first album. Aurora is a true artist. Her voice is pure magic. She's written some of the best English lyrics I've ever heard, despite that not being her first language. On top of the talent, she fiercely confident in what she is trying to accomplish, while being the most transparently genuine famous person I've ever seen. I'm a 42 year old fanatic about classical, metal, and blues (used to play alto and tenor sax too) from Texas, and she is hands down my favorite vocalist on the planet today.

[@juixxxe4425]

So happy to see that Aurora is being found! She has so many amazing and deep songs, my favorite are conqueror, cure for me, heathens, soft universe, the seed, home, and in boxes & in bottles, these two songs are about the same person

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

We are blessed with her presence. Aurora is so gifted and adorable a great artist of our times with so much Love and Magic a healer with a message she's something else unique gusto de conocerte Jen hava great day!!

[@vincentmb238]

She is the one who wrote this song. It is one of her most beautiful... among so many others. This whole concert is really, really worth seeing. Maybe another of her songs will end up letting you shed those tears, so that their river joins the ocean. Oh yeah, she sings that in "The River" too (not in this concert I think). The River is really beautiful in the HAIK concert. But her music video is stunning and very moving. With Aurora, I think you have to watch the music video and the live performances. It's in the live shows that she's the best... but The River, or The Seed, or Runing with the wolf... their music videos are almost indispensable. Whoua... you have a lot of work ahead of you... And a lot of fans too : I think warrios and weired, Aurora fans, always enjoy seeing new people discovering their queen of heart. : )

[@owmyhands]

Here in Australia we have a national radio station (Triple J) that's geared towards the younger demographic (like around 15-30). Every Friday they have a guest artist come in and do a live original and a cover. A few years ago Aurora was the guest and she played her song "The Seed". I remember being taken aback by her voice, the lyrics, the harmonies, hell, the whole damn thing. And then she did an amazing cover of The Beatles' "Across the Universe" which was just as brilliant. I promptly forgot about her until a couple of months ago when the video for her Triple J performance of "The Seed" popped up on my timeline. "Oh yea," I thought, "I remember this." I watched it and was as blown away as I was the first time I heard it. It prompted me to go down the Aurora rabbit hole, and damn, I have spent so much of the last couple of months in tears, happiness, and utter, utter awe at how amazing she is. Truly a phenomenal artist.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

So cool! Thanks ❤️

[@peterjack840]

Aurora did write this song. It was written in 2015 for her debut album "All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend". Great reaction and welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole!

[@stephenberson7236]

She writes all of her music and only does a few covers. Her drummer Magnus and guitar player O Martin offer suggestions. She produces her music as well. You better have tissues available because she does mostly sad dark music. I have an obsession with her music and her interviews. Most people thnk of her as an angelic princess from the Fjord of Light Norway. Katy Perry considers her one of her favorite artists and Billie Eilish said after she saw Aurora''s "Runaway" video she decided to start her music career. .

[@jennifersmusicpage]

She’s so amazing ❤️😍

[@danalynch8889]

I had chills, tears and a smile at the same time.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

She’s amazing!!

[@olafwiese6728]

Hi Jennifer, I'm glad you like AURORA. She has such different songs. At first there were many sad ones (It Happened Quiet). Then some who are almost combative (The seed). And now there are also love songs from her (Exist For Love). But the lyrics are extremely important to her. And in this video the location alone, the cathedral, with its acoustics, is very important for the effect. Goosebumps and shivers all over my body - every single time I hear this song. For me this is a masterpiece. So much feeling that AURORA brings to this song. This song must mean a lot to her. And the statement is simple and a commonly known truth. And yet as adults, at least most of us, we lose sight through the eyes of a child. I wish AURORA that she never grows up in that sense. Then we will continue to get such beautiful songs from her. We need someone to keep reminding us of this simple truth. AURORA is very close to nature. There are two very unusual concerts by AURORA. One is in the Cathedral Nidarosdomen and the other in a forest where she played a lot as a child. The concert (HAIK) in the forest was organized by NRK TV. But it's not just a concert. They surprised AURORA with different things for a whole day. She was supposed to do a small concert (only 1 song) in front of two fans. Pure emotions, I can tell you that. Then a singer, Ane Brun, sang a song by AURORA just for her. Then another surprise and finally the concert in the forest (7 songs, approx. 40 minutes), which in itself is amazing, fantastic, enchanting... The most important thing about the documentary (38 minutes) are the interviews that are conducted in the car on the way. There you can learn a lot about AURORA. - AURORA HAIK Full Version - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJDYiGBmfamKpcU - approx. 1h:16m The songs are also all available in individual KZbin videos. But the effect of a whole concert is gigantic. Disclaimer to the HAIK- Interview: Interviewer: Aurora, how would you describe your upbringing? AURORA: I grew up in a very free environment. I was given the freedom to be exactly what I wanted. When I brought home some fantasy friends, Mom and Dad covered them on the table. I got respect when I didn't want to celebrate my birthday. "OK, that's fine." No pressure to change me from home. No need for tags or diagnostic or... Just completely free. I didn't think much about what I was. Why I felt a little different. I didn't think much of it. It's strange when people have to think about something being wrong. Interviewer: When did you realize that others might see you as a little different? AURORA: I didn't think of it until that in 7th grade, maybe. Then it was something that we took such a Mensa (IQ) test. I remember being teased by someone for getting very good results. They said it was because... And then they laughed a little to themselves. I wondered why they laughed at it. Then they laughed, because they thought they "understood" that I was autistic. Because I was weird. It was probably the first time someone laughed at me. The worst thing was that I didn't understand why it was funny. So I didn't understand why they laughed. And it was very disgusting to notice that they realized I didn't understand why they laughed. I felt very outside, in such a way that I didn't understand. Or that they assumed I didn't understand. Just like I couldn't understand that they were rude. Don't get me wrong and think I had a bad childhood. I had a very good childhood. Had a great time whit myself. More like that on the inside. I felt like I didn't belong. No matter how much i tried. But I am put together in a way that makes it go really well. Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Wow thanks for the info! I loved her will def listen to her again ❤️

[@lalunacee9168]

Thank you for sharing more information. I litetally found AURORA today. I'm in the UK. I'm just in complete awe. Cant really put into more words right now. Just wow 🤯

[@olafwiese6728]

@@lalunacee9168 Hi Laluna (laluna is Filipino for especially), I'm glad you like AURORA too. I'm sure you've noticed, I'm one of the warriors and weirdos. Another tip: AURORA only has a few covers, but they are very good. My favourites: - Life on Mars (David Bowie) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXuTamiJZbKgpKM - Across The Universe (The Beatles) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJOXpHyffLGLrMU - God is a woman (Ariana Grande) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ_CZ5xtjMqXY8U - Rasputin (Boney M) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojHkIFjbtNqhK8 AURORA worshiped Leonard Cohen very much. When he died, she sang a song by him at a concert a few days later. The way Cohenes sang, of course. She was also allowed to sing a song at a Cohen memorial concert: - So Long Marianne (Chicago 11.11.2016) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2WmmKyMgq-ce80 - Famous Blue Raincoat (So Long, Leonard Cohen" in Oslo 25.04.2017) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZLJYZqwhricha8 There is a channel with quotes from AURORA and related videos. I get to know AURORA a little bit more every day. - Rob For - kzbin.info/door/AGZxpcmy5iCFM3vgfDdJdw I wish you a lot of fun, thoughtfulness, sadness and joy with AURORA

[@stillracer2514]

The whole Aurora concert at Nidarosdomen was amazing. I'd suggest you listen to any one of her songs there.

[@avedic]

ikr? Why even bother picking? Listen/watch them all! Though I think starting from the beginning and watching in order really is the best way to take that concert in. The way it opens with Nature Boy....the stark power of that. The way Lucky is sort of the emotional crescendo of the entire evening. And then Life on Mars brings everything back down to a more intimate level. The emotional arc of that concert is expertly constructed and executed.

[@Smaugyyy]

Happy that you reacted to Aurora and enjoyed her song. She is a great songwriter and producer, and (besides Angelina) my favorite artist. Interestingly both are Norwegians. :She is a very special person, very intelligent, empathic and expressive, a wood fairy. The whole concert is beautiful and a national treasure. This song she wrote (mainly) at age 11 with some adaptions in the following years. You are in here for a ride, you can take on any song.. preferably live versions, but you´ll get suggestions in other comments. Ah, and of course I subscribed! Cheers!!

[@RunarNyrud]

The entire concert is mindblwing.... Well.... I had seen MANY concerts of her's when I went to my first in Bergen 1,5 month ago, and I thought I knew what she would do... bu no... she surprised me... she was SO fantastic... I was on on another concert a week ago, and she suprised me AGAIN ! She is so funny (yes... funny), smart, and musically MINDBLOWING, and she gives EVERYTHING on stage... My wife and son like her, but not a huge fan as me; but she knoked them out of their shoes! Haloween... Murder song from the nobel peace price concert next !! :-) Or it happened quiet from live at the current.

[@Smaugyyy]

My daughter (10) had a blast with Aurora here in Darmstadt/Germany. I took her on my shoulders and we rocked. :)

[@FittLifeTV]

And by the way, Aurora's amazing, everytime she gets me, it's so emotional.

[@ysteindrge8394]

NRK made a dokumentary about Aurora named Haik. The dokumentary ends with a nice concert in the forrest. U may see or react to the whole thing, or pick songs. Search for haik and Aurora😍

Cool!! Thanks :) and hi

Great reaction welcome to a better world stay safe.

That's nice :)

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Thanks you as well!

[@Geralt26]

Aurora is great. Love her music, emotions and songs. And if it is not a cover or cooperation it is always her song. She started to make music from 6 years old and writing English lyrics from 9 years old. And she learned everything by herself without any education. Even her parents did not know she write music (up to 14 years old or something similar as my memory can be wrong by +1 year;) ). Thx for a cool reaction :). Would recommend to check "Lucky" from the same concert in Nidarosdomen.

[@davidplanet3919]

Thank you for reacting to the wonderful Aurora.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Thanks she is wonderful!

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Aurora is a musical Avatar ❤ thanks for the reaction - just listen to Aurora with your heart

[@lillm6874]

Hello, great reaction 🤗 I subscribed for this amazing artist, she’s definitely like no other imo😍 This song is one of her most important songs😊 AURORA (Aurora Aksnes) is a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer. She plays several instruments like piano, guitar, mandolin and harp (what I know of). She’s born on the 15 of June 1996, she’s from a small place in Os outside of Bergen, Norway 🇳🇴 When she was 6 years old she found an electric piano in the attic after her older sister. Because the power button was broken she had to play with only one hand, and she did that for years. She began writing music without lyrics at the age of 6, and with English lyrics at the age of 9. A couple of her songs that she wrote at the age of 9 is some of her most popular songs. They are “Lucky” and “I went too far” Her family didn’t know about her talent until she was about 13 - 14 years old. She’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano.🤩😍 You can pick any song from this concert in Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway), because it’s so beautiful 💕 Another great performances of hers are: “It Happened Quiet” live at CURRENT This is a song about domestic violence, and in the end she comes back to haunt him. “The Seed” either official video or live at the HAIK concert, or both 😉 It’s a powerful song with an important message, a cry for Mother Earth 🌍💚 Aurora is all about nature, she spent a lot of time alone in the forest growing up. You basically can’t go wrong with Aurora ✌️❤️

[@MarionJInce]

Yes, Aurora wrote that song. Another song from the same concert you should react to is: “Lucky”. The entire concert of 12 songs (3 are covers; the rest she wrote) is perfect and mesmerizing.

[@hakanandersson1276]

[@X_ch4ng3]

Very nice reaction! 😊👍You are in for a magical ride, checking out more of her music. She often perform the same songs in different ways depending on the venue. Some times with full band synths and all, and some times stripped acoustic.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Thanks! I am excited ❤️

[@tmsvanes]

Great reaction. You're in for a treat here, believe me!! I would recommend It Happened Quiet, live at the Current. Or any song from this venue, the Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. Most of her songs here are her originals, except for Nature Boy and Life on Mars. Just amazing. She is just 26 now, and she has a huuuge catalog of masterful song and real artwork.

[@fabrice7211]

And "Walking in the air" ;)

You have a great personality, and you made my day. Keep on keepin' on. The best songs from this concert were Lucky and Murder 54321. This song is also done a cappella with Vivo's stripped version and the best a cappella thing I've ever heard. To hear her voice best, I recommend the Piano version of Temporary High.

Yes, Winterbird may be my favorite Aurora song (hard, really to pick just one) and Walking Through the Air is not one of her originals (it's from the animated film The Snowman - a classic) and she sings it so beautifully.

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

With few exceptions, if its not a cover, Aurora wrote it. She likes to work with other writers and producers to create new original music, but does not "buy" songs to record. Aurora does, from time to time, perform with other artists on their original works.

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Hi! Would love to ❤️

[@rcinsley]

Jen - You're getting to know a number of excellent female vocalists, but with the exception of Dimash, not many male voices. Fortunately, there are a few quick fixes for this imbalance...and you can react to them in groups! The best singers occasionally perform a cappella -- no instruments to distract from the quality of their voices and the brilliance of their musicianship. Today, we are blessed with three major performing groups that do nothing BUT a cappella!! They are Home Free, VoicePlay, and Pentatonix. HF is all male, VP's members are all male, but the group frequently features a female guest singer. PTX consists of 4 men and one woman. Here are popular entry points for these three rabbit holes: HF - "Man of Constant Sorrow" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5bakJWce9ulpdU ) VP - "Dream On" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXbdaol8ott6las ) PTX - "Halleleujah" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/goOzaZdtnc2jpbM )

[@jennifersmusicpage]

Ohhh thanks maybe I’ll do the last video cause I love that song too! ❤️

[@rcinsley]

@@jennifersmusicpage PTX won Grammys in 2015 ("Daft Punk"), 2016 ("Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"), and 2017 ("Jolene", featuring Dolly Parton.) Many of us believe that their cover of "Halleleujah" was just as good as these award-winners. In any case, you should know that all of these performances were recorded while PTX still had its original lineup -- the lineup that won NBC's "The Sing-Off" competition in 2011. In September 2017, Avi Kaplan, the group’s original bass, left the group, and their sound changed. Oh, yes, a word of caution---reactions to PTX videos are often blocked (by SME.) --- Home Free won the 4th season of "The Sing-Off" -- becoming the world's premiere (only?) country music a cappella group! HF is, of course, extremely versatile and has created amazing covers and interpretations of many genres. For example, their remake of the 1966 Soul/R&B hit (by Percy Sledge) "When a Man Loves a Woman" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6HcmIOjm6yErLc ) is (according to many) better than the original. Last year, HF joined Don McLean for a 50th anniversary remake of "American Pie"...and it's EXCELLENT! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4PPhY2ajr2Wgck The list goes on and on.
