Vocal Coach Reacts! Aurora! Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) Live!

[@Warlockblack]

Aurora is from another world. For me the best young artist right now. Her lyrics are so deep and mature, and her voice is so amazing. Please react to her song "It happened quiet" live at Nidarosdomen.

[@karinanilsen3293]

Eze Z yess❤️

[@karenstark9235]

and The Seed!

[@stevek7699]

Or from this world, just a different plane (plain?) of existence. And good on you Sam for a key observation. NO ONE inhabits a song more deeply than Aurora, something that makes her live performances so special. If you watch to the very end of a song (and how could you take your eyes from her really?) you'll frequently see from her a look of surprise as if she's wondering where all these people came from.

[@Mick.Fitzmaurice]

It Happened Quiet - Live at Nidarosdomen. Masterpiece. The entire Nidaros concert is nothing short of amazing.

[@jjmail1971]

Her version at The Current (with Silja) and the one in the forest (HAIK) are lovely too. Softer.

[@Mick.Fitzmaurice]

@@jjmail1971 Everything she does is beautiful!

[@DreamsInWild]

YES. I cried through the whole thing. I really want to see her live ❤️

[@Mick.Fitzmaurice]

@@DreamsInWild I have to admit, "Lucky" was the one that got me. The entire show is an emotional rollercoaster, but "Lucky" hits really close to home for me. I also would love to see her live! That would be awesome! I would actually love to just talk to her. Pick her brain for a while. Haha! She is probably the most interesting person I've ever seen.

When her name is mentioned in the music industry, it is associated with quality!

[@sarimarmuniz]

Sir Rex exactly

[@texasles612]

Aurora is definitely different. In my opinion she's genius. She literally lives the songs that she sings. She is connected in every way with the words and her vocals are mesmerizing. You should react to Runaway, she wrote it when she was just 11 years old. She was brilliant even then ❤️ Great reaction, Scott looking forward to more Aurora reactions 💯 Here's the link to Runaway kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJSaiYqNlKqbmJo

[@TheNortibia]

I think this is a followup from the "it happened quiet".. its like she tells a story,. She is not making excuses for the one that kills her, she just shows the reality, not everyone who kills are monsters, they are regular people driven to a point where they see no other way out. It is to show the desperation and sorrow that can lead to tragic events... that is my POV, the song gives different meanings, depending on the POV of who listen to it..

[@sagarikamaitra9619]

absolutely, this is more about understanding the killer, and the other darker side that we never think of. however it happened quiet is a song which came way after this song, and it is more about love and the uncertainty of it. tbh both are songs about love, but they go on separate lines and they have been written quite far apart as well. but yes many of her songs are connected and tell a story longer than one song. its really nice to see that there are people out their thinking and feeling the way i did. thank you

[@shelldee4173]

I either read or watched an interview in which Aurora said the only song she has ever really written with herself and a specific situation she experienced "It Happened Quiet." I feel like "Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" is not about using a gun to murder someone, in a literal sense. I believe the gun represents the power this person has over the person whose pov the song is from. To hold that power to someone's head, then to exert it (bang I'm dead). I feel like the rest of the song, is the excuse or story that someone will tell themselves, when they experience some type of trauma, abuse, or situation in which they're controlled.. "they were cruel to be kind, they're were protecting me from all the other screwed up people in the world, they didn't mean it (hes killing me for mercy). Maybe when she says "He holds my body in his arms, he didn't mean to do no harm and holds me tight.." she's saying he didn't mean to do it. Often times, an abusive person will lovebomb and manipulate the abused into being grateful for the love and forgiving of the negative behavior. Aurora said that IHQ is about a relationship she had that had it's happy moments but, behind closed doors, was drastically different and scary. She said this person was so dark and viewed the world as dark place. Because of this, they always wanted to protect Aurora from the outside world, and would often times become violent. She realized if she stayed in the relationship, she'd basically, bleed in this slow painful reality, until there was nothing left of her. I also read that "I Went Too Far" is connected to this IHQ and Murder Song.

[@dezmodium]

@@shelldee4173 It's definitely a metaphor. I took it to mean a painful breakup. Maybe on of those were you even know that you both love each other. But a relationship is more than love; you have to live with another person. We've all at least seen on these relationships where the two love each other intensely but they simply cannot make the relationship work. So this guy is breaking up with her and the ending of the relationship is like the gun that's shattering her life, killing her. And he is doing it not out of hate because he loves her and he's jsut as upset as her but this must be done. They both must move on and end this relationship and so the gun is gone and there she goes.....

[@redizdead666]

I always thought this was about a sick dog talking about his master. got this impression the first time and it sticks with me now.. :D listen to it again. it explains every words. the necessary euthanasia, the unconditional love and fidelity of the dog. the "awful thing in life that comes.." the man crying with his friend in his arms.. .. idk I can't get that out of my head now :D

I didn't realize you never reacted to her before. I recommend almost everything she does live! Her voice is spectacular!! She also has amazing covers out there. A lot of people recommend It Happened Quiet live at the nidarosdomen but I prefer the version that's live at the current. I think her vocals are hidden a bit in the first version I mentioned. Great analysis as always :)

NIce reaction! AURORA is amazing. Her live versions/performances really showcase her talent and how animated she gets; you can tell she loves what she does. If you're in a mood for harmonies, check out the UK Vevo version of "Through the Eyes of Child." She also does excellent covers; her cover of Massive Attack "Teardrop" and Ariana Grande "God is a Woman" stand out for me.

[@stianpetersen8940]

Andy Tadikt ohh yes, that live vevo version of Through the eyes of a child is amazing and etheral

[@thecyborggamexox6746]

PLEASE listen to AURORAs version of Frozens “into the unknown” ❤️ love your videos

[@fitbmx7744]

This song is so close to me, she says in concerts that it is about two people in love. To me, it isn't that she defends her killer's actions it is a story of a world that is so dark and horrible that he (with her knowing he is going to do it) kills her out of mercy, so she doesn't have to live in the horrible world. They are so in love that the only way to save her is to kill her, it is a very deep song that is extremely powerful.

[@thal1]

Great reaction! U should react to her song ”it happened quiet” live in nidarsdomen, it will also leave you speechless

[@CataRDJ]

You should react to her version of Ariana Grande's God is a woman. I actually like her version better than the original because of how magical it is

[@elizabethcrossley6853]

[@johndennison3545]

Hi Sam I fell into the aurora trap 3 years ago, she is without doubt the most talented singer songwriter and may I add live performer I have ever seen,every song she performs takes you on a journey they are story's of how she sees the world around her.what I like about her is,and you see it in her live concerts is how humble and really quite shy she is.sometimes I don't even think she knows how good she is.yes this is a trap that I will stay in for a very long time,forget your mainstream artists this girl knows the art of music.

[@rafaelmunar6372]

Aurora "It happened quiet" (live at Nidarosdomen)

[@dalemurray4083]

This song is about an article she read about a man who mercy killed his wife who was in terrible pain from a terminal illness. that would never end until she died. The tragedy wasn't her death, it was his grief.

What a lovely reaction, thank you for this! I would love to see more Aurora reactions! All her live performances are stellar. There is just something so pure and magical about her and the way she lives in her music that shines through in her performances. I see "It happened quiet" has been reccomended by a lot of people. Its a very powerful performance, but thematically similar to Murder song. If you want to see more variety from Aurora i would reccomend "Queendom" or "The seed".

SATYR CREEKERGANG No, the song is not about hell, as many believe. This is about Norse mythology. Hel is the name of Loki's daughter, and she reigns in the underworld. There come all who do not die in battle, or as virgins. Those who die in battle end up in Valhall, virgins end up in Gjevjon.

[@JingjingZhong]

Seems like the scenario of the song is confusing everybody, I'm offering some thoughts here. Imagine someone's love is suffering from a very very bad disease, there's no hope, and she is very painful, life means nothing to her but endless suffer until she's dead. Her lover which is the "murder", made a very difficult decision -- kill her with a gun. It could be a disease, also could be other very difficult situations. Hope my explanation can help you a little bit.

[@danielpurpletree8440]

I'd like to recommend some more Aurora videos. First we've got some of her own songs "Warrior" from Paste Magazine's channel. Then there's "It Happened Quite" although most people will probably recommend the one from her Nidarosdomen performance & with good reason I personally wouldn't mind seeing a reaction to the stripped back version on The Current's channel not many people react to that one. Ultimately I think both version are worth checking out as they are both quite different from one another but I appreciate you may not want to react to the same song twice. Two others I would suggest from her Nidarosdomen performace are "Little Boy In the Grass" & "Lucky" both are older songs of hers. Little Boy In the Grass is one of my favourites which she sadly no longer includes in her live setlists. The Seed on triple j's channel which is a alternate version to what she normally plays live but I think equally good. 'Home' on Portal AURORA Brasil's channel. There are also some other covers that she's done that are worth checking out. Life On Mars (David Bowie) my personal preference would be the one on NRK's channel she plays piano in that one & Across the Universe (The Beatles) on triple j's channel.
