Musician/Producer Reacts to "Lucky" by Aurora

Yes! She is amazing on many levels! ❤️

[@hakanandersson1276]

Hi there Jeff! Not the happiest song right. But even when I saw your answer to my wish, I knew you would love it. I was never worried. But despite that, I was no less happy when you seem to love the performance. I have a life I'm not particularly happy with except that I have a lovely wife with whom I had a fantastic son. That's enough. But a few times I have become proud of myself. I (and several others) have suggest this song many times and very many have liked it. Bringing Aurora's songs to an audience that loves her for what she does is what we Warriors and weirdos want to do and Sir this time it felt like real and not just capture a lot of AURORA fans as numbers in their supporter crowd. From the bottom of my heart thank you. It was especially beautiful that you said - She means what she sings, and that's so right. In fact, it's so in every single performance she sings. She never plays (Maybe there is but I have never seen it.) Yes she can be very quirky and playful and often very surprisingly spontaneous but she has an ability to do it with a heart. It was with this song that I began to call her my soul healer. Again thank you Sir and you could be sure that i am Appear on your page again soon.

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you so much for everything you said and suggesting this song. You can’t fake being authentic and I experienced her heart in this song to the highest degree. She is so gifted and is generous to share that gift with all of us. Healing is important for me as well as I have not had an easy journey in life. I can recognize a true healer. All my best to you, my friend.

[@elisabethstermo9396]

That melancholic is a natural thing for us Norwegian people. We are proud people who love our country, our nature and our patriotism. Norwegians is shaped by our beautiful nature, and the vikinglife of course. And it comes out when we sing from our ♥. Many say Norwegian people are strange. But we are not so strange, we are just being honest to who we are and where we live. And that we preciate everything around us. The wintercold, the summerheat, the autumn and the spring. We simply love our country so much and being proud of it too. Aurora is a true nature child being barefoot like many Norwegian people like to be. Not because we don't have shoes but because we simply love being barefoot when spring is coming, with the sun and the heat. Angelina does it too, but for another reason, on stage. But she's been barefoot since she learned to walk as a baby. The Norwegian love is strong. When we love we shows it with our hole body and soul. Like Aurora, she's pure love. Love from Norway 🇳🇴

I think this one of the most moving performances that has been recorded. What is most incredible is how her music has perfectly captured the fear and then ultimate exhilaration of letting go.

[@johndennison3140]

Hi Jeff it is hard to comprehend how a child of 9 could write such an in-depth song like this but what’s more amazing is her abilities at the age of 6 to put melodies together on an old piano that she taught herself to play, This song and the whole concert is a concert that everyone should have on there bucket list the quality as you said is at the highest level,but the performance of Aurora is Breathtaking honestly I can’t think of any artist that would move emotions like this special artist she simply becomes the instrument the vessel that takes you on the same journey seeing all that she sees,Jeff you could choose any of her songs from this concert but the stand out one for me is Murder song 54321, I’ve never been moved as deeply in my life,I was right there with her seeing and feeling every emotion,I was moved beyond words I only had tears, I’ve no hesitation in saying that as an artist singer songwriter Aurora is more than special she’s a Genius and we are blessed to have her music in our lives.stay safe my friend sending ❤️from the UK

She is lucky to be alive. She's had a very interesting history. Tragic, but worth knowing to understand where she is coming from. One of my favorite songs from her is "Little Boy in the Grass" for which she wrote about a VERY close friend she lost in the 2011 Norway terrorist attack. And there are many other events. But she is an inspiration on how to move on in life.

She’s genuine and so into the song, that when she’s finished she looks like she just woke up. This is why she’s better live, and of course because of her amazingly beautiful voice❤️

Aurora actually gets to perform for 2 of her fans and then sits down and talks with them after. I've seen people do reactions to this as well as the concert, but is a bit long.

Glad to go back to this reaction of yours. I'm so glad that you spent so much time giving props to the people who produced this incredible recording. I honestly think it's the best recorded performance I've ever seen (the entire concert, not just this song). From Aurora, to her band, to the orchestra, to the choir, to the filming, to the lighting, to the mixing, to the editing, everything. It's an absolute masterclass in how to perform and record a live performance. When you watch it, you think, of course, that's how it should be, because it seems so natural. But it's not that easy! I love live performances, and I've seen many recorded performances in different genres I would consider 10/10, but none come close to this one in terms of everything just being perfect. I'm in awe every time I watch this concert, not just of Aurora, but of everyone who put this together.

I agree that everyone involved with this captured the moment beautifully. I can't even begin to explain how this performance has brought me comfort and imagine this gift she has to be genuine has helped countless others feel they are not alone in their thoughts. When she sings the line...I don't know who I am or where I'll go...and looks down for a second is just simply heartbreaking to watch. That moment seems to return her to that painful place this song came from and breaks me each time. She has another equally soul bearing performance of Little Boy in the Grass Mahogany Session that you should really see. Powerful and raw. Well worth a listen.

The ambiance is breath taking. And her voice on top of this, and the top notch harmonizations and backing from the choir.... Insanely beautiful, all in all.

Thank you for this exceptionally detailed reaction to AURORA. AURORA's songs always have a strong message. Often the messages are not very clear either. They can be interpreted so that many people can relate them to themselves. Her movements while singing are extraordinary. She is often so into the song that she shakes her body or head uncontrollably (--> Murder song, It happened quiet) and need 2-3 seconds to come back. She is capable of transporting feelings because she allows a look into her soul. - Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert - is it brave to sing a murder song at a Nobel Peace Prize Concert? - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) - it's about the rape of a woman - some say - these perfect harmonies - Exist For Love (Official Video - VEVO) - best love song ever!!!😍😍😍 - Cure For Me (Official Video - VEVO) - if you want to dance - so different (from her new album) - Heathens (Live Performance) - the lyrics are mindlowing (from her new album) I usually prefer her live performances. But in these cases the VEVO video is more impressive. I hope you enjoy AURORA. Have a nice week and Greetings from Germany

What do I have to add to your reaction and the comments below? I just need to express the emotions evoked by Aurora's personality, but especially how she channels her stories through the very pure details in her songs. Lyrically and vocally. Besides that the production of this concert as you mentioned. Your reaction was authentic and sincere. And something completely different was noticed: your Kate Bush shirt. Immediately I recognised an artlover in you. The Dreaming is Kate's lessknown, not commercial, even wacky album to most. You picking it out makes you a hero to me 😉. Before I became acquainted with Aurora, Kate Bush's music has supported me throughout my life. She found her match in Aurora.

[@StrateleStudios]

Hahaha I'm so glad you noticed the shirt! I am a HUGE Kate fan. Yes this album was one that took me deep into her mind. I could not stop listening to it and I love those odd tracks on this recording. The video for "Sat In Your Lap" will forever be etched in my mind and the beauty of "Houdini" with that fretless bass is just tearful. I love your profile ICON! I need to do some Kate on this channel...at least I know one person would be there to watch hahaha 😉😉💪

[@j.k.1963]

Hi Jeff, it takes one to know one, ha ha! It would be great if you could do reactions to her videos. Are there any you haven't seen yet, though? And yes, I love my pp as well! I may have some new information for you about Sat In Your Lap. Drummer Preston Heyman once told me through facebook how he unintendedly broke a bamboostick while recording that video. He was one of the rollerskaters with a bullsmask, hitting with the bamboosticks on the floor. Kate must have a great sense of humor, because she used this specific sound in the final mix of the song. You can here it at 2'00 in the song. It also lets us know that working on the music continued even after this video was shot! The Dreaming is indeed a fantastic album. So many layers to discover. I was stunned with this album when it was released. It immediately told me Kate was something else. As if I did not know already ;). This already became clear to me when Breathing was released before Never For Ever saw the light of day, but with The Dreaming she went beyond anything thought possible! I always thought this was and would remain an odd one in her collection. It stood so much on its own. Hounds Of love, its follow up took distance from The Dreaming as it was so much more 'commercial' and approachable. It wasn't until Aerial was released, I noticed some similarities, especially within the titletrack. This directly brought me back to The Dreaming and then it finally fell in place with me. I noticed how The Dreaming had its influence on all of her later work. It really proved to be a benchmark. Do you realize that Kate is so much more admired on KZbin than she did a few years ago? Three years ago I started watching reaction videos. There was not one to her videos back then. This has changed dramatically. I love it! So there will be a few more interested, I can tell you! 😉👍👍👍

That is just not true - now I feel you are talking down the Norwegian people - hello, we have a lot of unique artists .. slutt å snakk tøv..

Love the natural reverb in an old European cathedral! You should hear it. Her delivery reminds me a little of Delores O'Riordon from the Cranberries. Tonally very similar.

[@StrateleStudios]

I know you've been to a few. What an amazing reverb!

[@RA-do9wm]

You should check out her singing "Nature Boy" acapella with no mic in St. Michaelis Kirche 👍 (only mobile phone footage, unfortunately)

[@ericdandurand239]

Wow

Dear Sir, did you know Aurora has not had voice lessons. This is a gift to Earth, Gaia.

[@StrateleStudios]

Totally a gift!!!!!

OK I feel like I've missed out. This performance was in my home town, not 5 minutes from where I work. I've actually performed there many years ago with a student choir. I also want to just run this by everyone: This is frikkin live. With a choir. And strings. And a church organ. A CHURCH ORGAN!!! When have church organs EVER played on time??? You kinda hear it in the beginning where it's only Aurora and the organ. The recording quality is incredible, yes, but if I'm being picky (even though the balance is great) I feel the choir should have more space. There's a lot of emotion there that I'm trying to pick out, where I shouldn't have to, you know? It's a beautiful performance, in a beautiful church.

[@StrateleStudios]

This is LIVE...Man, I'm happy if I don't hear chairs squeaking! 😄😄😄

[@Mike_H76]

@@StrateleStudios Chairs don't squeak when angels sing! Seriously though, not a believer, just saying when Aurora brings the magic we all stop and listen. I can't count the hours I've spent with her whispering into my ear, but I can say that not a single second was wasted!

[@RobinAndre77]

Fantastic reaction to an amazing artist. I higly reccomend you check out Aurora an Wardruna and the song called Helvegen. That is going to blow your mind. ;) ;)

[@StrateleStudios]

Thank you Robin! I'll definitely check that out! :)

[@petraljungberg]

I stand by that suggestion! 😊

[@berndrichter9959]

That reaction video made my day... I think we both are the same generation and have seen enough in this world so at the end we've lost our believe in Elfs and Fairys...but then...from wherever she came...hard to believe... All i will forever ask you my friend is to do another reaction of this girl: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXKnhoR_ec-WbtU appreciate your work. Sorry---english is not my native language...

[@StrateleStudios]

Your English is perfect. This comment is so right on. You are so right my friend, the Elves and Fairies no long inhabit my mind...then comes Aurora. A much needed fountain of magic pours out of her. It makes me so happy to hear this video made you're day. This is why I do it. I'll check out your link!

[@hakanandersson1276]

I stand by on this suggest. For me Lucky have her best performance but the Animal soul strikes lyrical hardest and for me this is her best song. Because of my depression i can't hear it everyday.

[@petraljungberg]

Wow! I had not heard this song… Thank you ☺️

[@SofiaMariaVona]

💚💚

[@FattyFPV]

Now combine everything that you just experienced with the fact that she wrote this song at age nine. Not a typo, age nine.

[@StrateleStudios]

Pretty amazing 👏👏👏

[@jeffmalloy8200]

And she wrote this song when she was 9.

[@StrateleStudios]

Pretty deep for a 9 year old

[@jeffmalloy8200]

Pretty deep for a lot of 29 year olds.

[@ButterflyTwinkle1968]

I know longer know if being a live is lucky

[@OnGuffeyHill]

And... this was written when Aurora was an adolescent 😮🥰❤

[@StrateleStudios]

That's just mind blowing.

[@OnGuffeyHill]

@@StrateleStudios So! Right?! She SO has my attention. It's so nice to watch you enjoy her. 😉

[@RobiOne313]

She looks like she is made of porcelain...Flawless skin

[@ButterflyTwinkle1968]

So can somebody te me why the heck wee have to hear Adele?

[@hakanandersson1276]

Your pronunciation of my name was certainly not butchery

[@StrateleStudios]

Oh good! :)

[@ypey1]

This song is religious

[@andreat.]

Nice, but not what makes me happy. 😊 Sad and Tristesse ...
