I know you were joking, but if you were to become an Aurora fan channel, I'm here for it! I love your Aurora reactions, and it's always exciting to see a new one pop up.

[@J_I_R_OAdrian]

Hi Nina Schofield ! Im Always Watching All Your Video since I saw you on KZbin Can I Request? Can You Do A Reaction Video OF 👉CRAZY AS PINOY - "PANAGINIP" PERFORM LIVE! ON WISH 107.5 BUSS This Song is A a Old school Rap Love Song Thank You😄 New Subscriber watching From PH👋

[@Einyen]

@@amandalorian105 Here is the quote from the KEXP article about this show: "The room was insanely packed as Aurora took the stage. Even the legendary Björk was in attendance, solidifying that, yes, this artist is a big fucking deal (yeah, I freaked out a little bit too). By no surprise, Aurora lived up to the hype."

[@LeNaInLoVe]

Totally agree! This is one of my alltime time favorite, I NEVER get TIRED of it! 🥰🥰

[@deniselacroix3104]

The entire concert is phenomenal. You said that you could whatch this video a thousand time, I think I watch the 30 minutes concert 1000x.

[@RuneMoenHolmen]

I think i soon have…. 😂❤

[@afrisv]

I often plan on just watching "Churchyard", but end up watching the whole thing 😄.

[@lillm6874]

Same😅😍

[@awakeandhungry4334]

SAME

[@colors_in_noise]

Me too.

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

This is abeolutely one of Aurora's best songs, ever, in every sense. Check this live 2022 gig, 13:00, she performs Churchyard and she absolutely kills it. As a matter of fact I sincerely encourage you to watch the whole gig, it's worth every second. She is an awesome presence on stage, one of the best I've seen, and I'v e seen quite a bunch in my 70 calendars.

[@ninaschofield]

I’ll definitely have to watch more from this whole show! Thanks for watching this video 😊

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Ok Nina I meant, check Aurora doing Churchyard live 13:00 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2Grg2Sdjtd2ms0 I would strongly recommend you watch the whole gig lady is awesome on stage!

[@dmwalker24]

I love this performance. Aurora is clearly having so much fun with it. There's not a sense of being careful about what she's doing. She's just doing it, and it's still absolutely amazing. Just a group of people who clearly love making music, and are killing it.

[@AgOG47]

This concert is what locked me into being an Aurora fan. This song is my favorite.

[@Deeraise]

Saw her live in Chicago last May; can confirm she's incredible live.

[@Geralt26]

Yea, "All is Soft inside" and "Churchyard" (which you just reacted) are my favorites from KEXP 2018 mini concert and both are incredible. And I can understand why you loved/liked this one. But for me All is Soft inside winning a little only because construction of Churchyard is more repeatable then All is soft inside. Both sound incredible and are just amazing:). Thx again for co cool reaction for another Aurora song:). Ps. Maybe I forgot/missed this reaction but I still think you did not reacted to song Lucky live in Nidarosdomen which is also one of my favorites :). Although there are more and whole concert there was like a 1h of music magic:).

[@robhallahan163]

Nina thank you for your well informed and infectious enthusiasm. Yes you will/must see Aurora! She was just here in Australia and no friends would join me at Liberty Hall. Nearly 2 hours of flawless musicianship both electric/electronic and accoustic. Her ability to combine engagement, wit and extrordinary energy whilst not missing a note is almost unbelievable. Maybe that's why her stomach is both granite like and gorgeuos! I would happily go again tomorrow

[@kevdenn]

I have watched many reactions to "Churchyard" by Aurora. Yours is by far the best I have seen. Your face just lit up as you took the whole performance in. I had mentioned it before but you should be part of Aurora's band. C'mon Aurora's management...talk to Nina.

[@MariaElena-ch3td]

Your reaction is a perfect example of why this is one of my fav song! The smile and excitement the entire time 😊

[@nerve60]

Great reaction! I do love this performance and song. All is soft Inside at this same concert is my personal favorite live performance of all time!

[@cathinkabach7142]

Yeeeeesss, I totally agree that this is the best performance of hers! Love that you did this👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Please react to the full concert on KEXP

[@julimoreno173]

I absolutely subscribed because I love your reaction to this. And you are right, hope you can go to a live concert. Every Warrior & Weirdo deserves that ! I'll be here for more Aurora content !!

[@timgrodesky4694]

What a wonderful song to open up a show. Cold opening with harmony is such a beautiful surprise to the ears. And her playful scatting and fills makes this one of my favourites.

[@hakanandersson1276]

yupp! Still my favourite reactor / Analys to my dear Queen.. Thank you for your so wonderful reaction. Hope to see ya soon. Hug!!

[@RichardDandanell]

Check out Aurora sing "Dance on the Moon " from the exist for love live sessions . It'll make you melt in your chair , pure beauty .

[@philippeaggnn9629]

We definitely need more of your reactions! Thank you so much. I agree with many, the whole KEXP performance was special -- but if you have to choose just one more from that fantastic concert, let it be "All is soft inside"! There's a clear evolution in Aurora's "physicality" if you look back to her earlier performances. Obviously here, she's letting loose, but there's also purpose, and her extensive movement/dancing skills are becoming so apparent !

[@rolfjamne8922]

Everything thing she does is magic ❤

[@X_ch4ng3]

Great analysis/reaction as always. 😊👍This entire concert is one of my favourite performances by Aurora. I love the energy in it.

[@ninaschofield]

It’s so good isn’t it! Thanks for watching

[@Einyen]

@@ninaschofield This KEXP performance is one of her most energetic performances, maybe she drank a lot of coffee that day 🙂 She hates coffee but drinks it anyway, at least in a 2018 interview, maybe she likes it now. This whole performance is great (6 songs) but specially "All Is Soft Inside" is just as good as this Churchyard performance.

[@Einyen]

@@ninaschofield Aurora is coming to the UK on July 23rd 2023 to the "Leopallooza Festival - The Wyldes" in Cornwall. Festival performances are unfortunately shorter than her solo concerts often around 50-60min compared to 80-90min and they are probably more expensive even if day pass exists, but should still be amazing anyway.

[@lillm6874]

@@Einyen Or maybe it was because Björk was in the audience 😉🥰

[@philbsmiling]

Yes yes yes, see her live, am so grateful she just toured Australia so I could, absolutely the best concerts of my life.

[@RunarNyrud]

When I see that you are posting a new Aurora reaction, I always wait to see it until I have the proper time and focus. Because it deserves it! Yes, we can see that you love Aurora, it shows clearly in your entire beeing! What is fantastic about Aurora is that she is NOT perfect! It is so important in our insta "look at my fantastic me" world. She is like "I am who I am, I do what I do, I dress as I dress, and I have my issues and struggels" , just be yourself! Sometimes it's hard to be human! And that is perfectly fine and normal! Yes, you need to see her live. You will not see a perfect polished concert, you will se a godess we can touch, our Queen, your friend Aurora, she might tell you a storie that makes no sence, she might tell you the colour of her panties, she might say she is swetty, she might eaven forget her own lyrics, she will make you forget to breathe, she will blow your mind, she will be silly and magical, and she will make you love her even more.... I am soon to be 53 yo, and a tiny Norwegian girl makes me cry, not with sarrow, but because she changes lives, she touch my heart and soul, and still feels like a genuin friend.

[@raquelfreire6397]

Please do the entire concert! 🎶🙏

[@gliebzeit]

Thanks for your beautiful reaction video, Nina. Yeah, the bass is coming from the backing singer Silja on a bass keyboard synth. The other keyboardist is playing some parts live and then triggering/blending backing sounds ... and playing tambourine at times! Along with Magnus' gorgeous drumming and Fredrik's stratospheric guitar playing Aurora has a solid foundation to just float inside it all - until she blasts off at the coda. As others have said, she uses her own 'imaginary language' at certain sections. By the way, the entire 6-song set at this KEXP concert is FIRE!!! Also, from YT videos of her performing at the current 2023 concerts at age 26 ... she dances with the same energy and abandon - breathtaking. Aurora explains her 'imaginary vocal language' in this video after singing 'Forgotten Love' back in 2018 at a Brazilian radio studio (a month after this KEXP concert). Here is the YT title search for the link: Aurora canta 'Forgotten love' no Brasil

[@lillm6874]

She doesn’t use her imaginary language in this song, I can understand why people think so though, but it’s just sounds she makes because she’s coming back to haunt him😊🥰

[@gliebzeit]

@@lillm6874 ... Kind of a witch's chant. I can see that. 🧚‍♀

[@Roy-mw5js]

Totally agree with everything you said about Aurora ❤

[@Accolonian]

So if you wonder about the strange lyrics at the end, it's her own emotional language. Stuff you can't express in words and where the meaning can change based on your emotions. Which I guess means that whatever you feel it means is the right translation :) - You should ask your friend to go to an Aurora concert together. And if you do, make a vlog about it for us all :)

[@ninaschofield]

Oh I love that idea!! ❤

[@lillm6874]

She doesn’t use her own made up language in this song, it’s just sounds like when she’s coming back to haunt him😊 When she uses her made up language you can see it in the lyrics 👍🥰

[@kevinbrown3082]

You have got to watch the complete show. It is the best.

[@nicolleaguiar2096]

Loved your reaction, I was getting excited with you along the whole performance 😂

[@gable354]

the Kep live performance is so great!

[@mistercointreau5247]

Great choice! Aurora is wonderfully manic in this performance.

[@nateped1]

Great Reaction! Would love to see you react to the HAIK Documentary. I know you would just love it

[@band1tt]

Aurora and this band is pure magic. It heals my soul with a beautiful pain 😭

[@lynnef1988]

This whole KEXP performance from her is so energetic and fun, definitely worth checking out more songs from it! Definitely see her live if you get the chance!

[@rusaxe4443]

Please watch the entire mini concert. This is an absolutely phenomenal performance, every song is performed at 1000%.

[@Nomis3586]

Im a swed that lived in Norway fro almost a decade. Auroa is a national treasure of Norway that i would like to have. So good!

AURORA is really Amazing

[@petraljungberg]

Love this performance and concert! 😊

[@johnlovenhill1]

You MUST MUST watch the whole concert. It is the best thing you will every see … it’s all as good as this. If you have to only watch one do All Is Soft Inside. Not sure if you can wear out a KZbin clip but I must be running it close on that one.

[@Roy-mw5js]

Love Aurora ❤

[@lillia5333]

Love, love, love this reaction!!

I’m so pleased! ❤

[@yarsheets4572]

This is such a fantastic session. If you haven't watched All is Soft Inside from the same session, please take the time to do so. It is sooooooo good. And of course, thank you for this reaction. 🙂

From what ive heard Björk was in the audioence.

[@heidifarstadkvalheim4952]

Thank you! ❤ heia Aurora ❤ heia Bergen ( this is Bergen music as vell) Best from Bergen ❤🙏

[@i_d_i_e_h]

Great reaction! I hope you do more reactions of her on KEXP. It's so good. And if you think it's fun to watch her energy here... You really have to go to one of her concerts. This is how she is on stage for 1,5 hour at every show.

[@paulkossak7761]

Just want to give a shout out to Magnus, he's an incredible percussionist and really drives Aroura's performance's

[@Tarkus_]

This entire mini-concert is pretty much like this. Aurora was on fire that day. Just a bundle of energy. Along with the Nidarosdomen concert, certainly one of her most popular shows. And no less than Icelandic Queen, Bjork, was in attendance. Would love to see you react to the entire show (it's only about 30 minutes, and Churchyard is the opener). If not, at the very least you need to check out All is Soft Inside. If you think Churchyard was energetic... kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4SVmomZfN-Shc0

[@carloshuevaespinilla8095]

Phenomenal reaction 🌷🌷

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you!

[@HappyTreeHappy]

Great reaction. Thank you.

[@ninaschofield]

Thanks for watching!

[@hiroakiureshino5938]

Great reaction. This live on KEEP is one of the best performance which you can find in KZbin. Now she is in the amid of world tour, maybe she is now in South America after visiting Asian countries. I also need to go to her concert probably in Europe this summer.

[@hiroakiureshino5938]

Another live on KEXP recorded in 2019 also good.

[@johndennison3140]

As I’ve mentioned before I’ve seen her live 3 times and on two occasions Aurora opened her concert with churchyard and trust me it’s goosebump time she is the whole package and knows how to perform a Genius,plus when you are backed up with and let’s be honest an amazing band who are so on point you get an amazing performance and why for me she’s the best live performer I’ve ever seen head and shoulders above anyone else.I’m so blessed at my age of 66 to have had her music in my life for the last 6 years she is so special.❤love your channel stay safe and healthy and as Aurora would say”let love conquer your mind “ Warrior 💪🏻

[@ninaschofield]

Thank you so much John, you’re so lucky to have seen Aurora live! I wait for the day I can 😊

[@bjornarsimonsen7592]

Wow! This was awesome :) Yes, please, do that Aurora video you talked about! And yes, you do need to go see her live. What have you even been doing this whole time? Sorry, joke. I've seen her live three times now and it's beyond amazing. Just the very person herself is an experience unto itself, or however you say that, lol. But yeah, highly recommended. Can you please react to her "Dance on the Moon - live at exist for love sessions"?

[@horsehollerer]

I love your Aurora fangirl vids ... err, I mean professional vocal coaching insights. (jk it's always a great mix!) You definitely have to do something about your Aurora concert attendance record though🤣. I actually went to one of her shows last year on my own because, can you believe, no-one wanted to take the other ticket? On a warm Saturday night in the park? Fools! I had a great time, of course. Anyway, thank you!

[@ninaschofield]

Haha totally a fan girl vid 😆 oh wow, I can think of many of us on here who would have snapped that spare ticket up!

[@horsehollerer]

Aww I know I was just thinking that! Well if you ever find yourself in NYC and are wondering if anyone bought too many tickets for awesome show X, that person will almost certainly be me. Do not hesitate. Be well!

[@lillm6874]

Very nice reaction as always🤗 Just like “It Happened Quiet”, “Churchyard” was inspired by domestic violence, and in the end she comes back to haunt the one that hurt/killed her That’s why she makes those sounds, it’s not her own made up language, it’s just her haunting him💕

[@petraljungberg]

And yes - for some Charleston you should check out her Cure for me if you havn’t 🙂

[@andybricks576]

4:04 AURORA checking in with Nina to see if she heard the transistion, lol!

[@lesmann8387]

Please do this whole concert it is awesome should be ok for copyright great reaction keep em coming

[@ronda.8624]

I recommend a Spanish singer, her name is Diana Navarro. She is a very versatile singer sings different musical styles has a very particular voice that always transmits the song that I recommend is "El perdón" official video clip.

[@vincentmb238]

We could see that you really liked it, and how much :) So did we :) Including your reaction :) If you want to see this video a ton of times... watch the whole concert :) You can watch less times, but... well, it's the full pack :) It's short: 28 min (the video). I watch it when... well, when I need to :) Anyway, if you want to talk about her for an hour... I'm... I mean, we're in :) How nice it would be (for me) if you did that while watching an entire concert of her: the HAIK or the NIDAROSDOMEN. Just saying :)

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

That bassy synth is Freddy on the Fender Bass VI. He is using a pick while muting the strings and its run through a pedal with lots of compression. Very versitile instrument, especially with percussion heavy bands.

[@TheVirtualWatcher]

Maybe a "We all love Aurora" livestream? ... 😍

[@johndennison3140]

Sorry Nina back again,just to add aurora has an amazing quality of performing the same song in so many different ways that give such a different feeling using just her own emotions to reach out to people,one such song is The River I think you would find her performance of The River (live in Bergen 2020) one of the most emotionally charged performances by her for me personally I was moved to tears and you can visibly see Aurora with tears in her eyes trust me you will be moved.❤️

[@chuckletourneau5542]

John, thanks to your comment I just watched the The River in Bergen for the first time. Absolutely stunning. Don't know how I missed that one up to now.

[@johndennison3140]

@@chuckletourneau5542 hi chuck so pleased you liked it,check out the whole concert the whole arrangement is breathtakingly beautiful and you hear some very thoughtful words from Aurora.

[@cjbalata]

F Y I he playing a 6 string fender bass.. love the song a lot

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

Damn right. I have a Squire Bass VI, cant afford the vintage Fender VI. I dont get to play it much, as most of the session work i do calls for a P Bass in 4.4 lol. Love the VI, its so versitile. Freddy did amazing things with it while he was with Aurora.

[@galasemichalvarez8924]

Great analysis! Maybe you would like the version of Dance On The Moon in the Exist For Love Sessions. It's one ofe my favourites :) I'm a massive Aurora fan also. I even had the chance to meet her and take a photo!

[@christian53050]

great live band...

[@nwlondonmetaller3427]

Another great reaction video of Aurora. You have a performance clip from KEXP. I find KEXP is an awesome channel for presenting alternative artists, presenting amazing performances with the likes of Aurora. Through this channel, I have watched great performances by Slowdive, Solstafir, Kaelan Mikla, Wet Leg, etc. Aurora has a magical voice and she brings in her own unique ideas into her music. She is not influenced by Commercial artists. She will tour UK again, worth looking out for. On the note of Scandinavian artists, you got me into Faroes Isles artist Eivør. She done a good track with another Faroes Isles artist, Elinborg. Just been released a few days ago. It might interest you. Eivør & Elinborg: Tad er Ok (Berin Charity Performance) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGjTpqWqmryFidU On another note of Scandinavian artists, tonight I am going to see live VV (from Him, Finland) with Kaelan Mikla (Iceland) at the O2 Forum, London this evening.

[@ninaschofield]

Funnily enough I’ve been looking into more KEXP videos so it’s good to know they come well recommended 😊

[@capstan50g]

Nice reaction, Nina! Aurora is so folky! Her thing is so rooted in traditional popular music. It reminds me of one of my favorite groups, Steeleye Span. You should check out Steeleye Span's version of the Latin hymn Gaudete. Soprano Maddy Pryor's voice soars above a solid madrigal vocal foundation. Here's a link to a live performance from 1974!: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXaznnqnZa6caNE

[@colinhea]

Hi there first watching Have you listened to any of Lucy Thomas songs .She is a young English singer she is phenomenal. She appeared on Voice Kids in 2018 ending in the semi final from there she was offered a record contract. she has 4 albums out to date ,she is doing a musical due for release next year called Rossie( She has an album out with the songs from Rossie they are original ). Her cover of Hallelujah has 50 million views and is said to be be best cover of that song todate. Please give her a try out.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

This is Aurora having fun. I have heard her comment about her unconsious head shakes. I think this was something she did as a reasurance/ comfort?

[@kylemadden5061]

Loved your reactions to some of the best vocalists I have heard (but LOL) may I suggest one of the most amazing and unusual voices on the planet, the Queen of Goosebumps....the young Russian singer Diana Ankudivova. I would start with her cover of the Elvis classic Cant Help Falling in Love, when she was 18 {kzbin.info/www/bejne/g17dn3dshrCVqMk}. Also Rechenka (she was 14), and her cover of Wicked Game at 15. Pick the performances on the Russian TV singing shows, they have the best audio, but you will have to mask the video and pause, as the Copyright claims on the Russian shows are strict....but it is worth it. She has her own KZbin channel you can check out. Best of luck and dont fall down the rabbit hole :O
