This Song Killed Me…LITERALLY! Aurora-‘Murder Song 54321’ PRO VOCAL COACH REACTS

[@siawes]

Please please please check out Aurora’s “it happened quiet” (specifically the one she did Live at the Current!!!)

[@dropbarracuda]

Very much this! Also agreed on the (Live at the Current) version! 🙏🏻

[@666sdkfz]

Second this !

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

On the list!

[@johnbgood6036]

Yes, please.

[@team137]

yes, would be great to see your analysis

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Notice the look on her face as the song ends, she comes back into our world. Total emotional commitment for a song about mercy killing. Two suggestions. First "Through the eyes of a child" from her masterpiece concert in the Nidarosdomen. Second, "Soul with no King", the Vevo arrangement. The first from her first album the second from her latest.

[@KaitLittle]

Through The Eyes of a Child is another amazing song by Aurora. The live performance at Nidarosdomen is particularly moving.

[@ordinaryvalley]

Yes! ❤

[@Leakampff]

I love that us Aurora lovers ALWAYS get reactors to start with these exact Runaway and Murder song performances. It's just such a cute trend and I like that it begins them at where she sort of began with her career. Seeing where she is now is just mind-blowing and I hope we get to follow you discover that journey!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

lol, so interesting. More to come!

[@CaptainBrash]

Damn, she's something else. Watching her getting swept away in the music is special.

[@elifkuru1763]

I heard that for this song, Aurora was inspired by a newspaper article that reported a husband killed his wife suffering from a terminal illness to save her from her pain and suffering.

[@thedryparn1279]

Aurora said in an interview that it's about assisted suicide by someone close. When you are to sick enough to live but not sick enough to die. That's why she's lamenting over the killer.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Very interesting

[@Atra_Atrox]

this is one of my all time favourite life performances ever. the simplistic staging and amazing vocals. its preformed in big venue but feels so intimate. at the end you could hear a pin drop the audience is so captivated. i love watching aurora opening her eyes like she just got back into her body. aurora has stated many times that once she releases her songs their meaning is what the listener finds. earlier in her career she didn't want to reveal her own interpretation because people would then tell others that hers was the only "right" one. she also likes having double or hidden meanings if you look at the lyrics with different perspectives. for murder song i recall her talking both about assisted suicide or someone in an abusive situation rationalising and making excuses for their abuser even to the end. sometimes i think its also about a parent wanting to protect a child from the world, preserving their innocence before the world can hurt them i hope you continue in your journey with aurora's music there is so much more to enjoy. love your goal for this channel and will definitely be coming back

[@Tarkus_]

Thanks, that was an awesome reaction and analysis! I think this performance3 is an absolute masterpiece, and I'm glad to see that you agree. That bridge section you talked about is my favorite, but I also really love both times she sang "he cries and cries" because it sounded like she was thisclose to crying herself, but without quite going there, so it still sounded very beautiful. It's just such an incredible way to sing that particular line. The interesting thing about her being only 19 and so refined already, is that she never set out to be an artist, and this is all self-taught. Her mother is the one who encouraged her to share her music with the world. In fact, at this point she hadn't even really fully committed to being an artist. She didn't like performing very much her first couple years, and she admitted more than once (even to the audience) that she was very nervous at this concert. I tend to think her anxiety helped her deliver such a powerful performance, because I think being so buried in the performance allowed her to forget the nerves for a few minutes. You can kind of see her coming back to reality at the end.

[@art_by_accident]

Aurora always leaves it open to interpretation. Suggesting, never insisting. Everything has a double or triple or quadruple meaning. Like Dylan or Cohen. Great poetry. She was young, and very nervous here. Getting lost in the music was her way to cope. Since then she has grown a lot more confident and relaxed, but her total command over the listener is the same. The latest released video, "A soul with no king (live at VEVO)" is on the same intensity level. Not as tense or nervous, more fluent, but with the same mastery of vocal expression. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWqYn5dva5WLqbs I haven't been to any of her concerts, but the general consensus seems to be that it's a transcendental experience.

[@bkkidd2112]

I was so stunned the first time I heard this. Amazing! Really loved your reaction and breakdown

[@JoeSanders-w5h]

Hats off to Odd Martin as well. He's a fantastic singer and guitar player. He has a few KZbin vids. And of course high level artistry by Aurora as usual.

[@stephenbarlow2493]

This is the first song I heard by just Aurora the other year, although I had heard her singing vocals on Wardruna's, Helvegen before that. It just stopped me in my tracks, and I listened to it, over and over again. I was struck, by how such an apparently simple song, with such simple lyrics, and musical structure, could have such an impact on me. In fact, this is what started me watching reaction videos, which I'd never listened to before. To find out, was it just me, or did other people, also find it an extraordinary performance. I needed to find out more, and where Aurora was coming from. Being a long time environmentalist and nature lover, it proved to be a real rabbit hole. Strangely, enough, this led to me listening to Ren, who whilst apparently very different in style to Aurora, actually have a lot in common. The authenticity.

[@ordinaryvalley]

One of the best live performances from any artist ❤

[@elizabethlessner9512]

It was about a mercy killing that she read about in a newspaper. The husband went to jail. Aurora does a great variety of the types of music. She writes the vast majority of it herself. Her live performances are not to be missed but don't discount her video's. They are ..well very....Aurora-like, not to be missed. She's fun. And funny....someone that laughs at herself. She has over 100+ songs..poems written. She never intended to be a singer performer but she sang a song at school taking the 0lace of an assignment that she didn't do. A classmate recorded it and put it on social media and a couple of producers came to talk to her about trying to do a record deal and she refused. A little.later her mother said that her music made peo0le feel better like medicine. If she tried it and didn't like it she could always quit........"Runaway" went viral

[@timgrodesky4694]

She truly is the most fascinating artist and human being I have ever seen. She makes you feel her feelings with every note and every gesture. I may have watched this performance hundreds of times and every time it is always a gut punch. She had that huge crowd in the palm of her hand-what an amazing performance !! She gives her all to not just this but every live performance and I can't wait for you to see it for yourself.

[@henningmathiassen412]

Aurora lives the songs, sharing her inner thoughts with us with power and fantastic vocal language. She has another layer of musical understanding than average people and she loves sharing it all with us.

[@jarlwage6836]

«Through the Eyes of a Child» from Nidarosdomen is one of my favourites

[@warmfuzzyfeeling]

I'm glad you're reacting to Aurora. She's so special. I think you would appreciate It Happened Quiet... the subject matter is dark and upsetting, but the song is absolutely beautiful and will give you chills.

[@dropbarracuda]

I absolutely love the two absolutely silent points in thus performance, just before the last verse for a heartbeat, and then again at the very end. Somehow it lends much more gravity to the performance that the audience was hesitant to begin applauding. WOW what a performance!!

[@Geralt26]

Yea. That is why I always say she is True Artist. It is not only about singing about something. There are emotions, things to think after, expressiveness, beautiful singing. She is so into the music. I love her music (and she write and (co)produce her songs + has big influence of every aspect of her music/videos).

[@beverlywest7627]

Aurora is the ultimate fantastic singer. Everything she does is amazing!

[@avikolo]

Ngl, i saw this video right after it was posted this morning but had to prepare mentally to watch it. Even in the best headspace this performance rips out my soul and I sob every time. The emotional expression Aurora has is rare and that's a big reason I love her art so much. That being said, I'd love to see you get into her latest album along with her older catalog. If I could request the next song, I'd love to see you break down "A soul with no King" VEVO live recording. Thanks ❤

[@dlbwoodbury]

Yes!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Appreciate this thank you! 🙏🏼

[@pyrpyr5Wolf]

Seconding that version of A Soul With No King!

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Yes, her interpretation for Vevo is sooooo good.

[@needhelp7520]

haven't heard ANYONE talk about aurora's vocal technique for "some type of skin live performance vevo" it is my all time favorite i hope you please do a video on it!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@poolhallshark]

I really enjoy your reactions to Aurora. She is my 2nd favorite singer in the world, right after ANOTHER Norwegian girl, namely Angelina Jordan. She is getting close to 19 now, but she won Norway's Got Talent just after she had turned 8. Then, for several years, America's Got Talent had tried to get her on the show, before she eventually said yes at the age of 13. She performed her own rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, which earned her the Golden Buzzer PLUS high praise from the remaining members of Queen. They pinned her performance on their social media and even gave her the copyright to her rendition. BUT...... At age 9 years 2 months old, she performed her OWN arrangement of the 1956 Screamin' Jay Hawkins classic "I Put A Spell On You". THAT is something you need to react to. And then maybe we can go from there. It would be a choice you'll never forget. And I can promise you that it is the best performance you're likely to see. Like in ever. It's THAT good. Live, with professional jazz musicians backing her. Please consider it?? I won't give you the link, because the video is really easy to find, and you can't go wrong. Have a wonderful weekend in the meantime, and take care😊 Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥ (And sorry to all Aurora fans, like myself, reading this and seeing that I promote Angelina. But if I know you right, I am forgiven ♥♥♥)

[@thsun]

Sorry, I can't listen to more than 20 seconds of Angelina, then I have to turn her off... it's just too much... less is more as they say...

[@poolhallshark]

@thsun Different taste in music is totally fine 🙂 But it DOES make me curious to know what our how much you've heard by her🙂

[@thsun]

@@poolhallshark A lot.... from the very beginning of her career as merely a child... My problem with her is that every time she sings it's like she has to win a singing competition with trills, runs and superfluous ornamentation...as I said less is often more.... Art is not an Idol contest you know....

[@poolhallshark]

@@thsun 🙂

[@chakarasama]

I'm so glad you found AURORA. She's one of the best and I can't wait for more reaction/analysis videos ❤

[@dlbwoodbury]

Thanks for this… as others have said, she is a marvel, a prodigy grown into a musical and lyrical genius. Her albums are incredible productions (she has producer credits on all her songs), but, as you have seen, heard and felt here, she is an incandescent performer. See you in the glorious rabbit-hole of her music!

[@sierrabolden8612]

"it happend quiet" by aurora is so good

[@mariamakrynakis7586]

This is one of the best reactions I've seen to this performance. So emotional, one of the greatest live performances I've ever seen.

[@lazyvibes-92]

Would recommend Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current), tears & goosebumps every time I listen to it!

[@jwhittington78]

I like the phrase "conduits for expression" and will have to remember that. If you ask most people what makes a great singer they'll probably say something about pitch or range (which are nice tools to have for sure). Ultimately though what makes a great vocalist is someone who can make you feel something. Which really is the point of music to begin with.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Yes! Preach! 🙌🏼

[@esilabet]

Aurora + Pomme is really nice too. "it happened quiet'' live is also very good.

[@NahIamgood]

I know her old stuff are the most requested but her is 2024 album is really a masterpiece! There is a Glastonbury's live performance for Starvation that I think you would absolutely enjoy! Also "The Dark Dresees Lightly" from Rosklide festival is phenomenal! Her artistry is on another level but I think what I appreciate the most is her brilliant sense of rhythm which really shines on her latest work. Btw, it is my understanding that she's self-taught, I swear she did this "artist gig" in many lives before!!! Loved the analysis, hopefully you'll do more aurora soon

[@tx0h]

bbc did no good job with the audio recording. maybe better the roskilde version.

[@billpo]

Great reaction…she is such an amazing singer/performer…love her voice…

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

💛✨🙏🏼

[@kaddishcombattants]

Notice that in the chorus, while she sings "and here I go", he sings only "Go". Brlliant songwriting. For very expressive songs, try also It Happened Quiet (live at the Current), Little Boy in the Grass (Mahogani session) and A Different Kind of Human (at the Somewhere Else Festival).

[@anastasiagreene5967]

I can't wait for you to get to know her!!!!

[@lorienfly]

Please do "through the eyes of a child" live at Nidarosdomen. That was my introduction to her and it so moving and a masterpiece. 🫶🏻

[@Angelou333]

She makes me bawl like a baby with almost every song she sings but especially this one.

[@Sigma1_969]

As a 55 year old male, I have heard many many types of music from many many different artists, this artist, Aurora.. she is everything I have ever dreamed of as an artist, pure, emotional, simple yet captivating... I love her dearly. ❤

[@dropbarracuda]

So happy that you did this one! I love it when reactors get to the point where she hits THOSE two notes. They absolutely RIP through your soul somehow, good lord!

[@doccops]

Nice reaction to this extraordinary performance. The guitar and backing vocals are subtle but so perfectly executed to compliment her singing, amazing.

[@mikeb7379]

When it comes to her own songs, not to say that she isn't damn good on covers, you can feel the connection from that to her to us, even through a screen? I find her and that fascinating and very nearly unique? Recommend Aurora live in Nidarosdomen, the whole concert is superb but, for me, the stand out is "Through the eyes of a child"?

[@JasonBrenizer]

So glad you did this Aurora tune. She's an angel come earth to heal our hearts. Your channel is my favorite of all the channels out there that analyze music and vocals. Keep up the killer work.

[@foghornleghorn809]

As Brian Eno said in an interview: The Norwegian singer Aurora, who's one of the most extraordinary people i've met. Absolutely original human being. You just think, who designed her ? She is ... she's such a oneoff wonderful person. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJTWiHSge715hdE

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

You've discovered about 5% of her Range, you really need to study her, because she's a Generational Artist.

[@IcarusDrowning-gz8se]

Great reaction, sir. May I recommend "Through the Eyes of a Child" live at Niderosdomen by Aurora? Niderosdomen is a cathedral so the acoustics are great and the vocal is so pure and clear.

[@roddiener1235]

That whole concert is a Modern Day Masterpiece. Without question, she is one of the most important artists of this 21st century.

[@natnz2025]

I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for this reaction because I know it will absolutely frickin blow his socks off

[@sapphirewarrior]

the one that makes me cry is her "It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current)" However she released two new lives recently as well as a third filmed live in Toronto with an Organ.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Coming!

[@Gwen-y6w]

"It Happened Quiet" live at The Current is the best! That song is actually about the same story as "Murder Song", these two songs are story-linked.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

She is so expressive and emotional I love her. You haven’t done Running with the Wolves yet- another epic song from Aurora ❤❤❤

[@oliverklein1612]

And the fact that she has written these songs by such a young age and is so young performing this way, hard to fathom

[@sylviamachgeels3673]

Thank you for a great reaction! I always love seeing the effect that Aurora's music has on people. It feels like she can unlock our human/emotional side again in times when we might sometimes forget.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

I totally agree!

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

❤

[@lynnpoole7830]

I get misty eyed every time I listen to Aurora. She is the best.

[@Goldun-nah]

This song makes me think of the movie The Mist. What the father had to do at the end of the movie. Ugh just gut wrenching, both this song and that movie.

[@anastasiagreene5967]

Her live at KEXP !

[@toddylu6869]

Yes please… it’s brilliant and I think Bjork was reportedly in that audience.

[@Oldperson-wt3ui]

Really great reaction and analysis, I love it so much when the reactor realizes how truly exceptional she is, thanks.

[@Jadedxx]

My fave is Through The Eyes of a Child live 🔥🖤

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Thanks! 🙏🏼

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Thanks! Aurora is a musical Avatar - she channels music to us in the most profound way- and she have made must fantastic music/ songs- and everything is amazing and new ❤. She can not be put in a box/ genre - she sings directly to our hearts ❤. Aurora have a extended empathy so she can take everything in - and for her death is not the end but a continuation.. and blood is life for her. Her lyrics are poems and very interesting with layers and layers. Best from Bergen Norway- hope for more Aurora ❤❤❤

[@buginatree6816]

Aurora’s “Black Water Lillies” is a fun song

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

I just got back home from a live performance by unique Aurora.....I went with my 15year old grandaughter/daughter she had me thinking she is some kind of inconditional of Taylor Swift Aurora kinda not her kindof and she suprised me she was singing and dancing and completely hooked she finally admitted she was only playing me she loves the Viking Fairy Queen made me very happy......Aurora is mesmerizing she takes you to another level the energy exchange like something so physical that it touched everyone in that place she made people harmonize and it sounded so freaking good something I've seen done by Incredible Mr Jacob Collier I mean these two are somewhere else from what others do specially that cultural dumping media keeps everyone stuffed with. I'm very picky I'm 72 now not in my plans to change any of that Awesom Master Welch it's a pleasure to be able to have access to this level Have a great weekend cuidate y has mas Aurora

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

💛✨🙏🏼

[@ellenroy5908]

Hi! I love Aurora. And the word innocence that you used is what really reaches me about her. She reminds me of how it feels to be innocent and idealistic. But she is also encredibly wise, generous and introspective. As you explore her you find she has so much versatility in her styles, but her idealism and love shines through everything. I get the impression that you like the really stripped down live experience. But I would be curious how you receive a couple of her more produced videos, because all of those qualities of hers still are all you see and feel even against a lot of production. I recommend viewing her videos "Queendom" and "Cure for Me". She has such a strong social commentary.

[@Pr0pheceye]

Soft Inside is one of my favorites (alongside The Seed). I originally was introduced to her through a video game that used her music (Sky COTL). Warrior is also really good!!

[@annegreen9499]

I’m really enjoying your reactions Tim. Hope the channel continues to grow so you can keep promoting all these wonderful artists.

[@buginatree6816]

one of my favorite aurora songs 😍

[@najrenchelf2751]

This performance is just absolutely stellar - if we ever need to develop an emotion test, to prove that we are human, we can use this song... incredible! Also, I think this was before the handing out of the Nobel Peace Prize...? ...Murder Song... Aurora? XD Also, also, Mr Guitarist is absolutely crushing his role as support for Aurora in this!

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Thanks! Aurora is a heart opener- she is channeling the music- she said she download the music and it just flows through her ❤❤❤. Best from Bergen,Norway ( I think this song was inspired by a story she heard about a mercy killing - we’re the wife was sick in pain ..

[@aquagamer1212]

This is my favorite song of hers and the first I’ve ever heard from her, and wow. Studio and live are just amazing!

[@phlippbergamot5723]

Seconded.

[@Well-in-the-garden]

I love the way she drops off of the end of some of her notes🥰

[@perez_4239]

after hearing your explanation, i think you should react to "cure for me" as it is the opposite of this song as if shes free now from the antagonist from this song

[@myteadied1916]

AURORA!!!! She is otherworldly

[@peacefulminimalist2028]

You should react to Wardruna and Aurora live in Bergen singing Helvegen - it's an otherwordly experience. Wardruna is a Norwegian band that makes music based on old nordic/norse folk-music and all their instruments are hand made.

[@coralesangiovannibattistastezz]

I love Aurora ❤❤❤ kisses from Italy 😘😘😘

[@WalterVillamarin]

No entendí mucho la letra pero esta canción me puso muy triste esta gran artista es muy expresiva y me emociona hasta las lágrimas.

[@jubmelahtes]

Helvegen by Aurora and Warduna is a must

[@theaelliott9296]

YES OMG

[@Alice_in_artsupply_hoarderland]

I have a memory from my childhood that a relative took his dog down to the sea and shot it. The dog was old and sick, so he killed it in mercy, but the man was so, so sad afterwards. And I was really sad too. This song reminds me of that experience, that Aurora sings it from the dog's perspective. So every time I hear this song, my mind goes back to that memory. Aurora is incredible and she is my "spirit animal"! Great reaction 🥰

[@tonjoja]

You HAVE to check out Wardruna ft. Aurora with “Helvegen”. I would love to hear you break that down! (The vocals are crazy good!)🎶 With Auroras songs you have to do the live version always, she is so amazing! Other songs: In the eyes of a child (live from Nidarosdomen), It happened quiet (live at The Current) and All is soft inside (live at KEXP). Keep them coming, love your reactions! 🔥❤️

[@RainbowStarOracle]

I feel my entire body light up and vibrate during a lot of her songs. And when it’s over I feel like I just woke up from a dream and I need a second to like figure out what’s happening. No exaggeration here.

Very nice reaction🥰 I highly recommend checking out Murder Song live at Nidarosdomen, in your own time (or not😉). It’s a bit different version, but worth watching❤️🦋

[@jefferyedoherty]

If you want the entire picture you need to listen to Churchyard, Murder Song 54321, them It Happened Quiet. The three songs have a theme thread that runs through and connect the three songs.

[@kevinallen4743]

Aurora's perfection aside I am really excited about your intro, mission statement. Development and support of grass root musicians is very important to me and something I do a lot. I spend several nights a week in small venues listening to the new and upcoming acts that desperately need the exposure reactors can provide to bring their art to the fore. Well done on making this your mission, if you want a whole load of indie rock & punk bands let me know but, Aurora: already gets a huge amount of love from us all, is incredibly well known & perhaps doing her back catalogue is an indulgence. That said obviously reactions such as this will help grow your channel but I'm hopeful that when, in a moment, I visit your channel I find new exciting acts I have not heard of. All the best with the mission.

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

Thanks for the support and yes, I’ve already reacted to several up-and-coming artists. Actually the reaction I did on Thursday was one of those with Liv and Ren. I will be balancing reacting to smaller acts and larger acts to continue to grow the channel.

The ridicoulous thing about her in this performances is how a really young Aurora handles timing like a 40-year old veteran. You should see the end of her cover of Life on Mars, it is insane how she can be so cool...waiting almost seconds for some notes. And you should see her now. She might be one of the greatest artists of her generation.

One thing that you missed: The way he killed her and the deed itself is in the song. They hugged, and then he compressed, and her most intense vocalisation in the song was her last breath, and thats it. 5 4 3 2 1. Just compression of the upper torso, making the next inhale impossible. Just holding way too tight. You accidently got it when you said "This bridge is killer". Well, yes it is, thats the moment.

I’m on a mission to learn more about the technical aspects of music, voices and sound. It’s fascinating how particles vibrating through the air can have such an effect on us people both physically, mentally and spiritually. Your analysis helps me so much in further understanding the magic of AURORAs music (and all music, really) and why it moves me so much. One thing is the deep lyrics or fantastic melodies, but there is something unique about the way the way AURORA uses different musical elements (that I don’t understand yet), and it has a profound effect on my brain. I’d love to hear your thoughts on some of her more recent music as well. Thank you for helping me learn more about the magic of music!

[@TimWelchVocalStudio]

My pleasure thanks for the comment!

[@peterdobos1606]

Is it euthanasia (killing me for mercy) or is that denial? I mean it IS called "Murder Song 54321" not "Mercy Song54321". The bare bones simplicity leaves acres of room for the listeners' imaginations. "I'll protect you whether you want me to or not..." Also, Pedant says you literally don't know the meaning of "literally". Which is a relief, coz it means we get to see more reactions from you. ;)

No, it killed me literally! I came back to respond to a few comments though. lol. 😉✨🙏🏼

Astrid S, also from Norway, just came out with two new cover songs for a show called Hver gang vi møtes. They're called Det regner i Oslo og Symfoni. I've been listening to Det regner i Oslo on repeat since I first heard it, would love to see you react to it!

[@tevvya]

Glad to hear your reaction to Aurora. She's amazing. As to my interpretation of this song, I have always thought that the singer is a captive, isolated person--isolated since a small child with this man. The man (the murderer) is mentally ill. His illness includes a paranoia about the wider world and, loving his young charge, he kills her as he senses the outside world encroaching on his secluded home. The singer knows nothing else but this "cabin in the woods" and loves the man as her father and truly senses his grief but that does not mean the man has acted rationally.

[@hsientan3522]
