Who really is Aurora? || Running with the Wolves || Reaction!

[@Raijin-RyuX24]

Aurora is a gift to the world. Shout out to Norway!

[@RunarNyrud]

Her studio stuff are fantastic.... But her live stuff are mindblowingly fantastic! Check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen concert or Murder Song from the Nobel Peace Prize concert. Both of these never get blocked so you can show more 😎

[@robertbrun]

I can totally second those two recommendations. Love seeing reaction videos of them.

[@PrymalChaos]

Oh cool! Thanks for the tip!

[@kippys1]

agreed!

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

Those two suggestions are excellent! She is on another level live. More than you'd think. Loved your reaction, more Aurora please!

[@annaspurlock439]

I second the plug for that particular performance of through the eyes of a child. I also love the performance of Lucky at that same concert. On the studio recording side the official music video of The Seed is one of the most powerful music videos ever.

[@GaryHolloway-810]

Aurora's haunting, ethereal voice sends emotional chills down your spine :)

[@corrob]

a lot of us metal heads actually LOVE Aurora, she herself is a self-proclaimed metal head.. dshe has said she loves Gojira, and listens to Mastodon and System of a Down.. Amazing artist!! \m/

[@PrymalChaos]

Oh no way! That’s awesome!

[@RainbowStarOracle]

Yes!! She doesn’t try to be perfect, or sexy, or weird. She just exists and I’m here for it

[@PrymalChaos]

She is genuinely a gift. Top three live shows I’ve ever seen.

[@DubArchaeologist]

I love this song. I had the pleasure of howling along to this at the show in London last week. I can assure you that Aurora is the living breathing expression of her true self not a robot. 😁. Part of her artistry is including the Warriors and Weirdos within the creativity. Singing, howling,growling along to the songs. Stickers on the albums stuck to the wrapper not the CD/record itself - customize your own version or be sad cos you threw it away by mistake. Hidden songs that you find on yt randomly... live streams from her apartment... visualizing to the meanings and places. Lots of the lyrics are interconnected across different songs and albums. Go for a long long walk in nature and let KZbin recommend song after song. Strange things will happen. If you want a metalish banger to react to from the new album - "Blood in the Wine" Much love to all. 💖🧡🖤

[@PrymalChaos]

Thank you for the tip. Yeah I suspect her catalogue becomes a bit of a journey.

[@tracerx6324]

The Synthsound at the start of the song is an old piano with a pillow muting the strings inside the instrument. So yes, it's organic. 🙂

[@PrymalChaos]

Oh no way! That’s really cool. Someone suggested that it may be a couple of different instruments but that actually makes more sense.

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Aurora is a musical Avatar - she sayd that she just channeling the music. So everything she does is always original.

[@rosemay75]

Couldn’t have agreed more with your appraisal of Aurora. Aurora writes and coproduces all her works since she was a teenager. She has released songs that she wrote from the tender age of 9. She wrote Runaway at 11. She is uncompromising in her art and she has forged through against the odds at such a young age in a tough industry. I think this makes her the truest of artists and an indomitable and incredible human. Don’t stop here. I recommend Warrior live at Vevo. She calls her fan base Warriors and Weirdos. Though we all like to say we are part of her Queendom after another of her songs… also recommend. I hope we’ll welcome you to the family also soon. Would love to share your Aurora journey with you.☺️

[@PrymalChaos]

I feel like there is a wealth of stunning material for me to discover in her catalogue.

[@georgiastay]

Running with the wolves was the first song I discovered by Aurora. I've been a HUGE fan for about 5 years. Finally going to her concert next month!

[@JoelJB60]

Through the Eyes of a Child from the Nidarosdomen concert is a must hear.

[@kippys1]

Enjoyed your reaction and in-depth analysis! I highly recommend reacting to her live performance of THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD (Nidarosdomen concert) -- also from this amazing concert in a cathedral: WALKING IN THE AIR; WINTER BIRD, and others! For a very different live performance -- a ramped up warp-drive Aurora -- I recommend CHURCHYARD and ALL IS SOFT INSIDE from the KEXP Icelandic concert (2018)! Bjork attended that concert! Her more recent compositions are extremely diverse (and fascinating)! Her live duet with French artist Pomme: EVERYTHING MATTERS is incredible! The new album has a number of beautiful and unforgettable songs! And for music videos: THE SEED (her environmental anthem); CURE FOR ME; EXIST FOR LOVE; and others! I really like her newest single: THE WOMAN I AM! Other people will recommend various other songs and performances.

[@PrymalChaos]

Sounds like I have some listening to do.

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

You're right! She is who she is, no labels, no tags, no comparisons, no more, no less, unique and talented and insanely cute ad adorable beautiful tiny lady

[@roegoleg]

It would be silly to suggest that Aurora’s voice is underrated but it is an instrument she has truly mastered in both ability and musicality. Of course her voice has matured over time and with her new music, especially in comparison to her first album. But a beautiful example of this maturity is her song with Sondre Lerche, Alone in the Night (look for the behind the scenes video). It could be considered a duet but what stands out are her amazing vocal harmonies which are subtle and intended to complement instead of overwhelm, all of which I am sure she conceived. I am excited to hear more music in this elegant and sensual tone.

[@leavemealoneimjustfreespirted]

5:30 This is the exact description I use to describe her when watching people react to her music 💠 First time seeing you and your channel but glad I joined the channel 😉

[@PrymalChaos]

Thank you and welcome!

[@jazoon7249]

There is a documentary called "Once Aurora" documenting her life from discovery to her release of the album "Infections of a different Kind." It really speaks to the struggle Aurora had to go through just to maintain being her genuine self and still be able to be an unique uncompromising artist. The producers eventually had to just let Aurora be herself and do things her own way. It's a good watch.

[@Mythricia1988]

Your description of a "true" artist vs someone who creates art is beautiful. And I don't think you meant it in a derogatory way towards those who have to carefully construct their art, either - it's just a different thing alltogether. The true artists have something within them that they must express, they can't help it. Others can start with a small idea and carefully craft a piece of art based on it - with plenty of talent, skill and passion. But it's still different.

[@TS-nk2mf]

To analyze her in a way that makes her justice you should pick a live performance, try murder song or runaway from the nobel peace price concert

[@PrymalChaos]

This has been suggested quite a lot I think I am gonna have to! 👍

[@peterc.1618]

Viewers in the UK would probably first have heard her singing on the John Lewis Christmas Advert Man On The Moon in 2015.

[@andrewwilson45]

Shes is so far from my usual comfort zone but I don't care. I fall in love with everything I hear from Aurora... spirit magic or something ✨️ Cheers bro. Follow this rabbit hole down 😎

[@PrymalChaos]

She crushes my ego because I feel like I’ll never be as artistically unencumbered as she is.

[@justjulie37]

She really is the complete package. Superb Artist

[@LeNaInLoVe]

One of my absolute favorites amongs the oldest AURoRA songs. Thnx for taking time to react in a "decent" way.💖💖 NEW SUBscriber. 👋👋from Arctic Norway

[@antxoncarbonero]

Metal head from Norway checking in. There's no other like Aurora. There's a couple documentaries on KZbin absolutely worth checking out after you've reacted to more of her songs.

[@PrymalChaos]

I certainly will.

[@tinntinnamp]

I love your explanation! I would have never been able to pinpoint the subtle sounds that makes this song so good (she has so many others that are amazing)

[@PrymalChaos]

I plan to do more exploring of her catalogue.

[@paulfredericksen6565]

Well done, I very much enjoyed your commentary. Aurora seems to have figured out very early on how to sidestep the people who were pressuring her to do music that was meant to be commercially successful rather than an artistic step forward. I think she is very much in control of her artistic direction and that's a wonderful thing.

[@PrymalChaos]

It seems so! I can’t imagine she would be who she is if a boardroom was involved.

[@anakinchosen1]

She’s a fairy, so beautiful. You should definitely check out 54321 (Murder Song) Live! It’s amazing

[@markstuartwakeley]

Great reaction stay safe and a sub from me check out her live at KEPX Iceland set for a more rocky feel.

[@einark6568]

Aurora is free, and she do what she want. For some time now she have used what people call the 80`s vibe. Now this vibe is spreading all around. Aurora just did it with no strings atched

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah, I would say she has an Aurora vibe. 😄

[@megtree1]

Wow, great analysis! I really enjoyed it. I'd love to hear your opinion about her more recent songs! You put into words what I've been feeling about her early songs. In those songs, it seems she sings less emotionally compared to her live performances, and I've been wondering if it was a conscious choice. I think that's why many fans prefer live versions over studio versions. However, I think she changed that a bit in her latest album, "The Gods We Can Touch". In fact, some songs are first takes, and she said “It’s just that kind of album.” In terms of singing style, the song that surprised me most is "You Keep Me Crawling". As she also says, this album is very "playful" and each song has a very different vibe from 80's pop to country-western to Argentina tango. So it would be great if you react to some songs from this album!

[@PrymalChaos]

Yeah I’m not familiar with any of her new stuff. Might be time for a deep dive!

[@megtree1]

[@PrymalChaos]

Thank you!

[@elisabethstermo9396]

Aurora doesn't care about the hit. She's doing her thing right. She's become world wide famous now. People just love her. She is really something special. I couldn't find her in your playlist. That's sad. React to more of her songs. Like "The seed" or "I went to far", or "Apple three", and "Trough the eyes of a child", come on... Love from Norway 🇳🇴

[@kyleo2113]

Nice video, really connected to the 80s fantasy movie reference, thanks!

[@lillia5333]

Exhale, Inhale from The Gods We Can Touch is a good one. Or Appletree from an earlier album.

[@kevinallen4743]

You forgot Kate Bush as an artist that appeared fully formed and has always been herself with that sense of self defining her music. Bjork born fully formed? Here she is aged 16 (looks younger, but I did the maths): kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJy1dKunZaqna9k. Enjoy.

[@satchmo4992]

this was a really good reaction analysis from both of yous! great job informing us! thank you.🙏

After becoming obsessed with her new album, I'm here from the future asking past you, have you listened to it yet? Even so, I'm sure people would love to watch you discuss it.

[@ericsicard910]

Please react to Aurora’s amazing live duet with the incredible Pomme : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4mbk4ytoZ6lgcU This duet is a perfection in terms of harmonies and voice blending, yet with 2 different but complementary voices. And Pomme is equally astonishing as Aurora: elected best 2021 female artist in France, complete artist and she has a growing fan base abroad ( Billie Eilish is one of these). As a side note, Pomme was invited by Julia Stone to sing on the Songs for Australia album and did a splendid cover of Big Jet Plane with her autoharp.

[@PrymalChaos]

Oh cool! Yeah I’ll take a look. Thank you!

[@unculturedswine2154]

Another song I reccomend u listen to and dissect is either Runaway or The Seed, I’m gonna assume u already listened to Runaway since you’ve said you’ve heard some of her music and I’d assume one is runaway. The Seed is an amazing song with a lot of layers to dissect

[@PrymalChaos]

I think I’ve heard Runaway. But mostly I’m unfamiliar with most of her catalogue. It’s time I changed that.

[@rosemay75]

Yes The Seed for sure. But always do live performances. I recommend the HAIK performance.

[@unculturedswine2154]

@@rosemay75 I agree, almsot every song by Aurora is better live, the seed though is one of her only songs where I’m not a big fan of the live performance version of it

[@rosemay75]

@@unculturedswine2154 fair enough. I do love the MV as well. But I just loved the whole HAIK concert because she seemed so fully in her element here. I believe she communed with the forest spirits here as a child as she grew up playing in that very forest and often got lost in it. I believe it’s where all her power comes from. Maybe this knowledge biases my experience of the whole concert. 🙏🏽

YES!

[@rogersjgregory]

Her music videos always blend beautifully with her music and lyrics, until they become one. There's a real synergy that you don't always see from other artists.

[@PrymalChaos]

I think it’s probably because it’s always her vision. As far as I know anyway.

[@fabrice7211]

Great analysis but with some bad choices of words there, imho :P ... "programmed robot", "artificial girl" : erhm, watch her live if you haven't, she's the exact opposite of that ... "nothing" matters" : lol, her last albums contains a song where she specifically states "everything matters" (that's actually the title :D), so maybe try this one if you want something more recent (there is a beautiful "live" version here, the song features Pomme, a french singer : kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4mbk4ytoZ6lgcU) ... I got what you meant, but, yeah, bad choices of words/expressions :D

[@juggletom]

Yeah, this one of my favorites too.

[@PrymalChaos]

I’m gonna have to rewatch this one because I have no memory of saying anything like that! 😄 not sure what I was getting at, but yeah from what I’ve seen Aurora is the most natural and organic deeply artistic alert in the business right now. Edit: I went back and had a look. Yeah I think I misspoke. What I probably meant was that - in this song her dynamics and articulation is so beautifully effortless it sounds like an instrument not a person. But yeah I should have pinned it to this performance rather than making a broad statement about Aurora as a whole. That’s the problem with reactions, it’s a stream of consciousness mostly and you make a lot of assumptions particularly with artists that you are unfamiliar with. Good pickup! Thanks for setting me straight.

[@fabrice7211]

@@PrymalChaos Haha, don't worry, that was mostly in jest as, as I said, I got what you meant :) ... Still, the funniest is "when nothing mattered" as opposed to her recent song "everything matters" :D

[@camilemckitrick8783]

Is it possible that the opening instrument is a marimba rather than a synth? That would account for the organic sound.

[@PrymalChaos]

You may be spot on actually. Not sure how I didn’t make that connection! 🤣

[@kevdenn]

Couldn't really see the video you were reacting to. I understand copyright is an issue

[@herrnasenbaer3267]

Regarding Nordic music I would also recommend Eivør from Faroe Islands.

[@PrymalChaos]

Yes! It has come up a few times.

[@MatthewSwasta]

Magnus and Odd Martin are a large part of her production....I actually feel a sense of loss with each new album, as she advances in here career, gains more experience, and grows in the strength in her writing. The bigger she gets, the farther from her fans she gets.

[@PrymalChaos]

I guess that’s the nature of the beast. Completely different level here but I try to reply to every comment on my channel.. at least I tried for a fair amount of time. It just becomes too big a job. I don’t care any less, I just had to accept that it just becomes out of reach at a certain point… and I only have 7000 followers, most of whom don’t comment on every video.

[@jamil2447]

Aurora's voice is as unique as her style and her lyrical movement. I'm a little disappointed that YT has begun veiling many visual aspects of the artist works as Running With The Wolves is both an audio and visual experience. Not your fault but your subs are getting short changed due to increasingly hard-nosed copyright restrictions.

I'd suggest that you are an artist. Effort is connected to significance. Is the greatest fire walker really great if it's discovered they have no feeling in their feet? Born to fire walk, maybe, but is the act as significant as an ordinary person treading the coals?

[@PrymalChaos]

That’s a fantastic perspective. Thank you!

Yes, shout out to Norway! She is an ethereal natural spirit. Live performance are usually better & raw emotion.

@@PrymalChaos You won´t regret it, but be aware that this is a deep rabbit hole. But you will be surrounded by angels (fans) from then on.

[@elizabethlessner2911]

I've been a great fan of Angelina. I believe that I have listened to all of her songs..or nearly all of them. Lately, however, since she has signed on the Label, I see her changing, experimenting etc. I'm not sure what is driving all of it, maybe Angelina, some people at the Label...who knows but I've been dismayed at what I am seeing so I've taken a break. I just wish that Angelina was as free feeling and as sure of herself a Aurora. I don't know, maybe all of her families sheltering and now the Label has binded her too much. Comparing the 2 artists, one seems comfortable in their skin which is Aurora and she seems to have taken the reins in her hands at a fairly young age...Angelina just seems to be "handled all of her life so far" and maybe she needs to get in touch with herself and not be guided so much. Angelina has a wonderful voice and she too is so talented. Unbelievably so. I love her voice and I hope that she grows into herself and gets in touch with what SHE WANTS FOR HERSELF. Angelina has so much to offer.

[@LeBunBuns]

Great video. But what's the point in putting effort in adding the video when it's so transparent that it's nearly invisible. Seems like a waste.

[@PrymalChaos]

I know. It’s frustrating but quite often when a video is auto blocked globally it’s due to the video content. Reactors have a right to make videos using copyrighted material under “fair use” but sadly the licensing detector bot doesn’t make distinctions. So the option is to make a bunch of videos that take hours to put together that will never see the light of day because of a bot randomly pinging them or you try to distract the bot by making the screen translucent. I hate it, but lately I’ve had too many videos blocked. I did a reaction to I would do anything for love by meatloaf after he died and they had the audacity to block it globally. A music video that has been out since like 1988. They since released it, but once that happens the algorithm just ignores it and it gets 50 views.
