I finally took the time to add the sources (see description), however I can't, for the life of me, remember where I found the extract starting at 22:48. If anyone recognizes it, would you be so kind as to post the link in reply ? tia :)

I think this is from the Paradise Theater in Boston. I'm not sure what year. Thanks!

[@fabrice7211]

@@John-zo4wu Yes, you're correct, I'm currently trying to see if I can find backups of this performance, as the original videos (including the one I used here) have disappeared from YT (account terminated), which explains why I could not find it anymore :D

[@Hobonewsnetwork]

Okay, last rambling comment for the night, promise. I’ve been reading through the comment threads and loving the back and forth. Has Google upgraded the creator tools yet, because a bunch of the good Twitch streamers are coming over to KZbin and it’s supposed to get better? I’m only thinking about a “Discord” type feature, with chat rooms’n sh!t? Does that exist already, I don’t know…I’m old.✌️

[@Hobonewsnetwork]

I just clicked on your time stamp and watched another ten minutes. Ha!

[@avedic]

Watching this....I think the thing I like most about her, and it's REAL hard to narrow down, is how _genuine_ she is. She's like the polar opposite of cynical....and oblivious. She's very genuine and very aware and awake. But she's not precious or cloying. I mean, her humor is often very dry and ironic and even a bit dark. But never cynical. idk what my point even is....I guess I just find how she's put together as a human, pretty remarkable...and inspiring. I've never come across another human being quite like her... She's 100% free and genuine and aware and honest and kind. If every person on earth was as self-actualized as Aurora, in whatever specific expression that would be, I honestly think we'd cure cancer, invent time travel, and solve climate change....in about 12 months. I'm not even kidding. We could be so powerful as a species....but most of us, myself included, are burdened by a LOT of cynicism and shame and judgement and dishonesty and a lack of freedom....that we impose both on ourselves, and on others. In other words....you don't need to read another self help book ever again. That entire industry can go away. Just.........be like Aurora. Or rather, be fully your best self, in the way she's fully her best self.

[@Eyes_Unclouded]

🥰😍👏

[@belladowell8895]

@avedic You have put into words perfectly what I would have said myself. What an incredible human being Aurora is.. so much beyond just 'the artist, the songwriter'.. If I had only listened to her music alone I already adored her, but in watching interviews and clips I have come to deeply love, cherish, respect and THANK the gods for a gift a pure as Aurora. As a package, she is an undeniable, and unforgettable force.. to be wreckoned with? Hmmm, 🤔 Well I'd hate to see anyone try- she's living flesh proof of love triumphant over hate.. Long live Aurora. Long live her 'Queendom'.. Till Queendom Come..😉❤ Awesome comment! 😊

[@taccamine8312]

If she wasn't a singer/ songwriter she could have been huge as a stand-up comedienne or a talk show host. She is beyond hilarious. Priceless

[@fictionallove_2416]

I couldn't have agreed more! Aurora's humor is just perfect 😂🙌.

[@dASHsnucky]

Absolutely! She's hilarious

She’s a natural entertainer and I love her sense of humour and special because she’s not afraid to show her real self all the time, a genuine gem!!

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

I did need a smile, so thank you :) Aurora never fails ❤ A few clips I hadn't seen as well, like when she talks about her new haircut for the first time. A tiny historic moment there.

Hope you’re ok Bjornar. Was hoping to make it over again to see Aurora this year but life is making it difficult at the moment. Either way, take care my friend!

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

Hello 😊 Just found this again. Can say I've been to four so far this summer, lol 😆which has been incredible. Got to meet a ton of cool people 😄 More to come for sure, but nothing specific planned yet.

[@gliebzeit]

The very last clip has a reference to something Aurora said at the beginning of the 'Queer Sounds' recording - "I need to pee a bit ... and I don't know where the toilet is in this place". So, at the very end she jumps off camera saying 'Parkour! Outta my way!' It's a hilarious way to end that clip!

[@MrJosten72]

Just watched this having stumbled across it today and I hadn’t seen some of the stuff before either, which is surprising because I’ve been watching footage every day for the last year. 😂 Wonderful. She’s the only thing in the world that seems to always make everything seem ok. Like medicine for the soul! ❤

[@VitaminEz]

I first heard about Aurora when I was driving home at 3am one night and she was doing an interview with Howard Stern 😊 I instantly fell for her charm and talent as she sang Life on Mars by David Bowie. Pure talent through and through..

[@parnilsson8283]

Oh Silja u are so missed (love the new girls too of course)

[@gliebzeit]

Fabrice, I didn't know how to make a comment on your 2023 playlist ... so, "Thank you so very much" for curating the videos from Korea and Taiwan, along with updating any new or 'better' videos. We are really fortunate that 'warriors' recorded and shared their experiences.

[@fabrice7211]

My pleasure :) And yep, that's the "problem" with playlists : they're just links to the real videos, you can't like playlists or comment on them. If I'm not mistaken, you can save them, though, so they'll be available on your homepage and you don't have to go through mine to open them :) You can comment on my community/updates posts, though, if you see them :D And yes, some great videos from Seoul and Taipei, but nothing (as far as I can tell) from Tokyo (at least up to now)

[@avedic]

With maybe one or two exceptions....I've seen every single one of these clips, or rather the entire videos they all came from. I think I might be a bit of a fan..... And thank you for this! I've been having a very difficult past 2 weeks. And this helped....

[@taccamine8312]

Since you obviously love her, you're a significant part of what makes her magical. If it wasn't for you and people like you, she probably wouldn't be the AURORA character we've come to love and adore. I remember meeting her for the first time more than 8-9 years ago. Although she was a lovely, little young girl, my first initial impression of her was that she was a little bit awkward :) (And I'm not prejudiced at all) A big reason why she has developed into this public adorable character is the immense love she receives from the warriors. One of her greatest strengths is that she accepts herself no matter what is thrown upon her. So as she has accepted the image of love from the warriors, she has also become AURORA. You can become the same, through accepting and loving yourself just the way you are. I think that is her most important mission. To teach the warriors to love themselves in all their beautiful quirky varieties

[@avedic]

@@taccamine8312 very well said! And thank u for the kind words. One of the best things about Aurora, is the fan community of people like you and so many others. Smart kind creative cool weirdos. :} When I think of the traits Aurora best exemplifies, it would be: Freedom & Kindness. Kind to everyone and everything around her, and kind to herself. And FREE in the most expansive way. She has zero shame about being...who she is and doing ANYTHING she wants to do. It's a very attractive and admirable trait. 😁
