im a male, turned 40 couple of months ago, and when I watch aurora i fell somewhere deep inside me there is still a kid that wants to create, move and sing like her
@Stephen Rodriguez if u think u wanna sing just start singing! search for Jacob's vocal academy and do his exercises and warm ups. I started almost a week ago and I can feel that I kind of got better. it actually does work. just do it u want! and never stop!
Friends - 50 year old dude here growing up with prog and alt rock - and I discovered this genius while studying in Bergen (her first announced little snippet live I think). In every Aurora concert there is a huge gang of dudes like us hanging out in the back nodding to each other. Knowing we in general have Tool on our play-lists - old school Bowie, some of us probably have encountered Prince and Bjørk and such mainstream outliers in our past. Black Metal must be mentioned. Some of us may have discovered fusion-jazz and stuff, some Crandberries - some of us may have dipped toes in the old-school Rave scene back in the 90s - even "brainy electronica" and pure classical music may have been involved as casual or deep listeners of music as we grew up. We form an eclectic group of grown-ass dudes in her concerts - behind her much younger fans who emote more than us (on the outside at least). I tell you - these back ranks of "us" is probably the finest concert experiences I have had. None of us have to defend why we are at a concert with a "young pop star" behind some thousands of emo kids sharing their every emotion loudly. No lifting of eyebrows are needed to indicate "had to take my kid - you know how it is" type daddy communication is needed. Just some hundreds of grown ass men being there because we "got her" for some reason. it is a really cool place to "experience".
A.K.A i'm giving big compliment to the back up singer because i feel pity for her being overshadow by aurora not because she did something extraOrdinary or something that worth being praise about
@@creepyhair3120 Do you even understand the purpose of a backup singer? Clearly it is not to overshadow the lead singer. It's purpose is to support and enhance Aurora's voice and not to overshadow it. Singing isn't about overshadowing each other. Each one has a role and the backup singer clearly has done her part well that made this performance an art we can appreciate.
I've never seen a more likable artist. Autentic, talented and seems to really enjoy what she's doing. Such a delight to hear and watch. Even more love from Brasil!
I lack words to describe what this young an sweet soul has given me, a bitter older person. She made me understand that the light in the morning is still coming gently and wonderfully
@Soonmush Aurora is too stubborn to let the music industry ruin her soul. I just watched a documentary where Aurora and her manager, Geir, are dealing with a roomful of record company executives. They played those executives like a drum, Aurora playing the wide eyed innocent good cop (but if you squinted you could see how shrewdly she was working the crowd), and Geir playing the grumpy bad cop. In the end they mostly got what they were working for, albeit they had to do some quick maneuvering to relabel things a bit so some executive could save face.
I just discovered her today, not an unhappy accident as I was just telling my friend today what a beautiful name Aurora is... And here I find myself 💗💖
AURORA is the ONLY artist that can make me shed tears of joy every SINGLE time I hear her sing. I will only have them play songs by AURORA at my funeral so that any tears that are shed are both joy and sadness mixed and combined so that no one knows whether to laugh or cry in celebration of that which was my life. Peace.

I don't know how she does it. Admits the darkness in the world, and at the same time holds out hope for us all. I'm trying to become a warrior of love.
Agree, Sabbath to Aurora to Deep Purple and back to Aurora whenever I feel like it, does make me smile and now to cap it all Eivor, Falling Free live, love that Viking vibe.
Grew up listening to metal, hardcore punk rock and stuff that just makes crowds go apeshit but this woman has something that nobody else has and she executes it perfectly and with such precision. Some of her lyrics and performances just absolutely floors me. Incredible story teller and just the pure essence of what being human should be.
she has grown so much, i remember when i first listened to her, she looked scared and uncomfortable, now she looks pretty good at performing live and, um i just love her
Oh my yes. At the start of one of her early performances she was just shaking like a leaf, her hand was trembling when she was making gestures with it and her eyes practically rolling with terror, until she got around 1/3rd into the song and got more interested in the song than her nerves. I'm happy for her that she is (mostly) over that kind of performance anxiety.
And then compare it to now with her latest live performance of the dark dresses lightly I think with Amazon music. Funny how we can connect through time on here. Anyway
She's the embodiment of the traditional young female archetype, that feminists hope, above all else, to destroy forever, because it doesn't resemble a man. It's what you all long to be, in your bones, in your breath, in your blood and sinews, in your DNA: to be unabashedly, honestly female, and admired for it.
brindlebriar Thing is, there is no real truth to the statement “feminists hope, above all else, to destroy [anything in particular] forever,” because there isn’t ONE feminist “hope” or view of life, or wish to destroy one thing over another. If there is one agreement on destroying something (and I don’t think there is), perhaps it would be any demand that all women be one way vs. some other way. Self-described feminists don’t all think alike or want the same thing. Perhaps, though, what many of us who may label ourselves “feminist” want is freedom to make our own choices about what we can do with our lives, how we can dress, how we look, and how we simply get to be, as women. One thing that strongly impresses me about Aurora is that she seems authentic and free in how she expresses herself, from her singing and writing to how she moves while singing; from dressing to personal grooming (sometimes she has visible hair under her arms, sometimes she doesn’t); from whom she kisses in her videos (and in her life, I hope), to what she discusses in interviews. From what I can tell, she’s the embodiment of herself. In 10 years, she may/most likely will be very different in how she expresses herself, and I hope she will do so freely and authentically then, too.
@@gabriellee6770 There is an overarching agenda which the average woman doesn't fully understand, but that is pushed by the pushers of feminism, the speakers and writers and teachers. It is to shame motherhood, wife-hood, to claim girls and boys are the same. To _push_ women, through the mechanism of social ideology - not through self-contemplation of their own internal compasses - into the work force, to become wage slaves, no better than men, and no less masculine and miserable. No longer cherished, no longer on a pedestal. No longer sacred. The effect upon people who buy into that is great unhappiness. After all, boys and girls _are_ different, so women trying to live masculine lives are, on average, below average at it, compared to men. Since time immemorial, the home and the children have been the province of women, whereas the world external to the home, and the monsters in it, have been the province of men. The home is the womb of humanity, and the spear/staff is the phallus of man, the magical tool. It puts life into the woman, to nurture and grow, but it kills the beast and plows the field, in order to put calories, and thus Life, again, into the center of woman, that she can shape into humanity. Man has tamed nature to such a degree that now women can participate in the higher levels of the structures of income earning - far removed as they are from actual killing and plowing - without getting hurt. But in so doing, they give up the sacred work they were doing, the growing and raising of humanity. Children have parents to speak of. They're raised collectively by the television and internet, but there is little empathy there to be acquired. Little humanity. Little spirituality. Just materialism. The result is a very non-aurora like population. When I was growing up, all little girls behaved like Aurora, to some degree. I remember my sisters and their friends were the same. Each individual, of course, but with femininity in common. When I saw this interview, this celebrity reminded me of them. Now they are taught that they must be income earners like the men, and to hell with the children. Let them fend for themselves. Let the government schools raise them. And the cartoon network. Those pushing this agenda have such a low opinion of femininity and motherhood, that they don't perceive that much value will be lost in so doing. And that is why they seek to destroy it, in favor of 'equality,' by which they mean 'sameness.' But men and women are not the same. If there were, there would be no reason for us to exist, other than bland and soulless materialism. Because the meaning and purpose for the masculinity of man is to serve the femininity of woman. And the meaning and purpose for the femininity of woman is to grow, nurture, serve the masculinity of man. Thus, each serves itself by serving the other. And they are not equal. The woman is superior to the man. The man is in charge of calories and safety, and the woman is in charge of the children and the comforts of all. The woman is _superior._ But it is her femininity that makes her so. She loses all of that when she tries to become masculine. When you modern princesses decide that you want to become the King too, think again. Because for every king, 10,000 men struggled and died trying to become the king. That's what you step into when you step off the pedestal. And you will be torn to shreds, with your little, soft bodies and your nurture-oriented minds. It's craziness. Of course, I'm using metaphorical language. Men go to work to provide for women and children, so that they can have the pleasure of their company. We don't need comforts the way women do; a man can be content to sleep it a ditch and wear the same dirty ragged clothes every day, and eat simple fare. We're rugged. We do all that we do that fills the world with comforts for women and children. If they are taken from us, we'll eventually stop working. Cause work ain't worth just the material gadgets. Those are for _you_ so that you'll sleep with us and bear us children. And for the children you bear. For a few talented women to have artistic careers, showing their talents to the world, hopefully managed by men so that they have time for their _own_ children and families - that's a wonderful thing. But when women in mass are pushed into the work force outside the home, to spend their days in offices and restaurants, miserably competing in the male rat race while the children are abandoned to public child-care institutions, our species can not withstand that for very long. We're resolute, and it takes time for men to unlearn the sacredness of women once women have stopped being sacred. It takes a few generations. And we are at that time _right now_ when men are unlearning that ancient, instinctive, biological, chivalric code. First, they walk away from women, from responsibility for them and the children they bear. Next(this hasn't started yet) they'll walk away from work. If women want to do it, let the women do it. You see, men work so that women won't have to; so that they can have the fruits of labor without doing the labor - so that they can nurture the children and be the place of comfort for us, the softness, the bosom, the womb. That's why we do the work, to provide the calories, so they can be women. If women are gonig to abandon the children, or not have them, and abandon us too, we might as well stop. Cause most work is fucking miserable. Idk why women think they want to do it, like it's some kind of privilege. OR, men may simply decide to put a stop to this whole anti-femininity 'feminism' campaign. We can stop it at any time. Men have a natural reluctance to stop women from doing what they want to do. That's part of the pedestal; you let them be free and whimsical like Aurora. You provide for them the opportunity, and let them steer themselves. So when women decided they wanted to vote and become wage-slaves and wear pants, and even abandon the children and us, we let them. But there's a limit. When enough men realize that we are allowing women to harm themselves, the children, and us, on a misguided whim of misunderstanding, we can end it all in an hour. And we will, because that's our job. So that _you_ can be like Aurora again.
my theory is she’s a nordic goddess that recently took a human form and isn’t used to earth and forgot about her identity as a god and is slow remembering through her music
Watching her sing Queendom here is unreal. She looks like a little Queen here herself, something about the outfit. Combined with the war-cry like vocals, and the sheer nonchalance about her unshaved armpits. This girl means every word of her songs. You are my hero, Aurora!
Heard some of her songs a couple of years ago and it changed my life completely. Her voice, her lyrics, her soft and yet powerful intensity are simply something else.
Every time I watch her perform 'All My Demons Greeting Me as A Friend', it's like she has a new perspective, a new story, a different way to express it as she's more exuberant, more playful, and ironically, younger than her younger self. It's a beautiful thing really, to see her change and grow(and grow in reverse in a way; again the irony). Still, don't grow too fast flower 🙏🏻💔
Silja is the perfect back up singer/partner of Aurora, but sadly we witness that Silja already quit the band and focused on her own music, and i love how she pursue her dreams of becoming an artists ❤️
Just when I thought that I couldn't love her more, I stumble upon all her amazing live performances and got shooked and mesmerized by her beautiful voice and energy... 🔥 She brought back the light that was missing in my life to see the world with new eyes, finding the beauty I thought was lost everywere I'm going and i'm so thankful for that. ✨ I will follow her path on this world forever and always no matter what.🙌 Warrior and weirdo for life!
I barely listen to anything else since I discovered Aurora. She's accompanying my process of healing from child abuse, neglect, and abandonment, in a journey where I am as much the "murdered" as the "warrior". Thank you, Aurora, for every piece of you you donate to us through your music. Your mum was right, your music is curing other people out there.
I absolutely love her voice!!! There is literally no female singer than can so easily bring tears to my eyes, so human and flawed and real - soul cleansing. I don’t admit that for anyone - I feel her songs tear away the lies and the arrogance of stupid people who think they need to cling to the ego, I’m so happy I connect to Aurora from day one. I grew up on bands like Led Zeppelin and The Doors and Fleetwood Mac and even 80’s bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure - still nothing like Aurora and I feel like that’s her genius and she doesn’t even try...Aurora’s so natural and genuine; dark and moody in all the ways I love music to be. Blessed Be!
Today I discovered you and I fell in love. In your voice, stage movement, hairstyle and appearance, charming smile after each song. The band also does a great job - playing instruments and singing. I can't stop watching and listening. My 8 year old kids loved it too. Thanks for what you do :)
Wow, just today? Lucky you! You still have so much from her to discover, so many feelings to experience by listening and watching this "life changer"... I really would like to be able to discover all this one more time, at least. Enjoy this lovely ride, I really envy you...
To me she looks like she means the words she is singing and enjoys performing as much as Tyler from twenty one pilots. Both are posessed while singing. Awesome!
OMG there are no words she is so pure and i feel her so innocent but yet so wise. The way she feels her music is incredible one knows she sings for music and not just for the money like si many singers but not artists. She is gorgeous !!!!
I love watching her perform murder song. Well everything really. She is somewhere else while performing, so deep into it. It is mesmerizing to watch. I read a comment somewhere else that put words to how she makes me feel. "Watching her perform is so intimate, that you almost feel like you should look away because it is so raw".
Words cannot define how she makes me feel when I listen to her; she is truly the most amazing voice i have ever heard. So sincere and raw, and how she can completely change from one song to the next in an instant like she does is nothing short of brilliant. I truly love her music.
my baby is truly a bless to the world, she keep amazing me every time she sings with all her love to her fans and i just cant wait for her new album, shes gonna slay.
I love every version of Aurora songs. No one it's better than other. Some says that lives are better than studio. I think all are the best because she is 💖💕 Every version still being a part of her I love how she performance, she have so much expressiveness and she feeling her songs.
I've been at their concert a year ago and I'm so grateful it happend. She reminds me of my mother a little bit, she wanted to be a singer too, she was delicate and sensitive but unfortunately bad things happend and she had to change and work hard for our family. I cried at that concert and it was beatiful.
Aurora Aksnes doesn't belong to any genre or is subject to any form of musical limitations. Her music is so incredibly unique and beautiful that I can barely believe that her songs are actually real.
I dont understand why people hate Aurora's armpit hair, or anybody's armpit hair. It's not like you have to lick it up and down, let people live how they want to! Because at the end of the day, its just hair 😉
@Zeus Core Armpit hair itself does not contain a bad smell. Any smell from your armpits comes from your sweat glands. Shaving your armpit hair doesn't make your armpits smell better. The best thing you can do is to shower/wash your armpits and wear clothing that isn't restrictive and is of breathable material.
Oh I didn't notice she has armpit hair. She's very blonde so it can't be seen much. Also armpit hair doesn't smell if you wash it often and just apply deo
I will always believe Odd Martin Skalnes is the only guitarist/vocalist that could have brought out the best in the songs, and Aurora herself. They had "it". Whatever "it" is. I believe Odd had a lot to do with Aurora finding her musical voice and gaining as many fans as she has, as fast as she has. BUT , the new guy has grown on me these past few months. Starting with the Lollapalooza Brazil show. I think he's coming into his own, finding his place in the songs. He'll never be Odd Martin, but that's not his fault.
yeah some people still cant accept the change. Things happen. I am totally fine the different members. The ones who left are chasing their dreams too so we should support them and appreciate what comes.
ursafan40 i came here to protecccct fredrick💪🏻👺👌🏻 Just kidding. I really love Martin, but i do think her band is complete now. I mean, Silja, Magnus and Fredrick? They have magic in the point of their fingers
This is someone that is exactly where they need to be in life.. her artistic abilities are amazingly beautiful and she is just an all around beautiful creature
Such an incredible artist.. And these acoustic versions on youtube with this band are so great. I'm in love with their music Anyway such a great style :D
Found out about this artist right here and now, and I must say, I was _absolutely taken away by this performance_. Watching it over and over, can't get enough! In contrast I don't mean to complain, but I was sad to find that the album versions of these song didn't have the same authentic sounding spirit, intensity or sound at all. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that this simple but powerful way of arranging songs is something that will carry on into the recording studio from here on. Best of luck to the performers
You should definitely watch the Nidaros Cathedral concert, it's with an orchestra. I think it will be remembered as her best work. And I agree with you about the arrangement, acoustic and orchestral is better in general and works much better with her spirit. ruclips.net/video/XXVwFvkNTEg/видео.html
+Bucky RUclips suggested I listen to her. I had no idea why. This one got me first ruclips.net/video/IwNoXFgg8lo/видео.html I love her album myself, but I do prefer every acoustic version she has ever done, with just Odd Martin on guitar. Like these ruclips.net/video/1kiV704Nd_I/видео.html ruclips.net/video/evBgLWQwAFA/видео.html Have fun and explore her catalog here on RUclips. She's extraordinary
See her live my friend, it's one of the most beautiful things. I took someone who'd never heard a single song (Aurora was at a festival in Hungary) and my friend's jaw hit the floor, and she told me afterwards 'that was one of the most intense, spiritual experiences of my life'.
Nobody gives more to each performance that Aurora does! And as always, amazing how much dynamic range they get out of the guitar, drum box and two phenomenal singers.
@@BrandonPetrucci I didn't ask whether you believe in heaven or God, there was...exactly no need? I'm trying not to get mad but like don't respond to people if that's all you're gonna say
@@avastepanian567 Ava, your response is proof that there is NO GOD....the 'Bible' is a product of the Roman empire and the creation of the Roman Catholic Church and it changed the Bible thousands of times.... 'Jesus' was a man but he was made into a diety and there were hundreds if not thousands of those who claimed to be the 'savior' ... you have been duped.....
@@BrandonPetrucci I'm...lost? How is my response that you were being rude with an unnecessary comment "proof" that there is no God? Also, where in my comment about how angelic AURORA is did you get the impression that I'm trying to convince people that God is real? Yes, I believe in God, but that's irrelevant, and you're attacking that for no reason. Again, I'm doing my best not to get mad at you, but you're kind of making that hard.
So, I gonna be honest. I had no idea how weird Aurora is, I mean I knew she wasn't your average singer, but you know what, so am I. I love this song, she's very talented and different, that's what drew me closer to her music.
I just recently found her and I’m so impressed! I usually wouldn’t like this kind of music but this is beautiful and her vocals are absolutely captivating
in my opinion Aurora's live songs much better than studio versions
Absolutely, she should fire her producer!
@@AlexeyKopylov she is better there because she is evolving and improving and when she got her studio songs she was younger.
I have thought this for a long time.

She's the embodiment of the traditional young female archetype, that feminists hope, above all else, to destroy forever, because it doesn't resemble a man. It's what you all long to be, in your bones, in your breath, in your blood and sinews, in your DNA: to be unabashedly, honestly female, and admired for it.
brindlebriar Thing is, there is no real truth to the statement “feminists hope, above all else, to destroy [anything in particular] forever,” because there isn’t ONE feminist “hope” or view of life, or wish to destroy one thing over another. If there is one agreement on destroying something (and I don’t think there is), perhaps it would be any demand that all women be one way vs. some other way. Self-described feminists don’t all think alike or want the same thing. Perhaps, though, what many of us who may label ourselves “feminist” want is freedom to make our own choices about what we can do with our lives, how we can dress, how we look, and how we simply get to be, as women. One thing that strongly impresses me about Aurora is that she seems authentic and free in how she expresses herself, from her singing and writing to how she moves while singing; from dressing to personal grooming (sometimes she has visible hair under her arms, sometimes she doesn’t); from whom she kisses in her videos (and in her life, I hope), to what she discusses in interviews. From what I can tell, she’s the embodiment of herself.
In 10 years, she may/most likely will be very different in how she expresses herself, and I hope she will do so freely and authentically then, too.
@@gabriellee6770 There is an overarching agenda which the average woman doesn't fully understand, but that is pushed by the pushers of feminism, the speakers and writers and teachers. It is to shame motherhood, wife-hood, to claim girls and boys are the same. To _push_ women, through the mechanism of social ideology - not through self-contemplation of their own internal compasses - into the work force, to become wage slaves, no better than men, and no less masculine and miserable. No longer cherished, no longer on a pedestal. No longer sacred. The effect upon people who buy into that is great unhappiness. After all, boys and girls _are_ different, so women trying to live masculine lives are, on average, below average at it, compared to men.
Since time immemorial, the home and the children have been the province of women, whereas the world external to the home, and the monsters in it, have been the province of men. The home is the womb of humanity, and the spear/staff is the phallus of man, the magical tool. It puts life into the woman, to nurture and grow, but it kills the beast and plows the field, in order to put calories, and thus Life, again, into the center of woman, that she can shape into humanity.
Man has tamed nature to such a degree that now women can participate in the higher levels of the structures of income earning - far removed as they are from actual killing and plowing - without getting hurt. But in so doing, they give up the sacred work they were doing, the growing and raising of humanity. Children have parents to speak of. They're raised collectively by the television and internet, but there is little empathy there to be acquired. Little humanity. Little spirituality. Just materialism.
The result is a very non-aurora like population. When I was growing up, all little girls behaved like Aurora, to some degree. I remember my sisters and their friends were the same. Each individual, of course, but with femininity in common. When I saw this interview, this celebrity reminded me of them.
Now they are taught that they must be income earners like the men, and to hell with the children. Let them fend for themselves. Let the government schools raise them. And the cartoon network. Those pushing this agenda have such a low opinion of femininity and motherhood, that they don't perceive that much value will be lost in so doing. And that is why they seek to destroy it, in favor of 'equality,' by which they mean 'sameness.'
But men and women are not the same. If there were, there would be no reason for us to exist, other than bland and soulless materialism.
Because the meaning and purpose for the masculinity of man is to serve the femininity of woman. And the meaning and purpose for the femininity of woman is to grow, nurture, serve the masculinity of man. Thus, each serves itself by serving the other.
And they are not equal. The woman is superior to the man. The man is in charge of calories and safety, and the woman is in charge of the children and the comforts of all. The woman is _superior._ But it is her femininity that makes her so. She loses all of that when she tries to become masculine.
When you modern princesses decide that you want to become the King too, think again. Because for every king, 10,000 men struggled and died trying to become the king. That's what you step into when you step off the pedestal. And you will be torn to shreds, with your little, soft bodies and your nurture-oriented minds. It's craziness.
Of course, I'm using metaphorical language.
Men go to work to provide for women and children, so that they can have the pleasure of their company. We don't need comforts the way women do; a man can be content to sleep it a ditch and wear the same dirty ragged clothes every day, and eat simple fare. We're rugged. We do all that we do that fills the world with comforts for women and children.
If they are taken from us, we'll eventually stop working. Cause work ain't worth just the material gadgets. Those are for _you_ so that you'll sleep with us and bear us children. And for the children you bear.
For a few talented women to have artistic careers, showing their talents to the world, hopefully managed by men so that they have time for their _own_ children and families - that's a wonderful thing. But when women in mass are pushed into the work force outside the home, to spend their days in offices and restaurants, miserably competing in the male rat race while the children are abandoned to public child-care institutions, our species can not withstand that for very long.
We're resolute, and it takes time for men to unlearn the sacredness of women once women have stopped being sacred. It takes a few generations. And we are at that time _right now_ when men are unlearning that ancient, instinctive, biological, chivalric code.
First, they walk away from women, from responsibility for them and the children they bear. Next(this hasn't started yet) they'll walk away from work. If women want to do it, let the women do it.
You see, men work so that women won't have to; so that they can have the fruits of labor without doing the labor - so that they can nurture the children and be the place of comfort for us, the softness, the bosom, the womb. That's why we do the work, to provide the calories, so they can be women.
If women are gonig to abandon the children, or not have them, and abandon us too, we might as well stop. Cause most work is fucking miserable. Idk why women think they want to do it, like it's some kind of privilege.
OR, men may simply decide to put a stop to this whole anti-femininity 'feminism' campaign. We can stop it at any time.
Men have a natural reluctance to stop women from doing what they want to do. That's part of the pedestal; you let them be free and whimsical like Aurora. You provide for them the opportunity, and let them steer themselves. So when women decided they wanted to vote and become wage-slaves and wear pants, and even abandon the children and us, we let them. But there's a limit.
When enough men realize that we are allowing women to harm themselves, the children, and us, on a misguided whim of misunderstanding, we can end it all in an hour. And we will, because that's our job. So that _you_ can be like Aurora again.
One of the positive things about the quarantine is that i discovered this. Wow
I've seen her live, she's absolutely amazing, jealous you just found her haha!
@@amandafeliciano542 Yea! Well, i now know a lot about her. Seeing her live is an other experience though xD Nice!
Everytime she sings her songs like Warrior, its as if i am hearing it for the first time....love her interpretations and feeling in every word
I love her
beautiful
everybody does
She's so happy during the first two songs that it's infectious, and then somehow manages to completely shift her emotions for the last one
QUEENDOM: 00:00
WARRIOR: 3:28
MURDER SONG(5,4,3,2,1): 7:17
HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS AND AURORA OF COURSE ❤💕👍
Obrigado❤
She is a gem. I can't put into words sometimes how her music makes me feel - it's incredible.
She seems so wise yet so young. I’m getting this strong sense that she sings about her past lives.
sometimes I feel like she's telling us about ours too
my theory is she’s a nordic goddess that recently took a human form and isn’t used to earth and forgot about her identity as a god and is slow remembering through her music
it cannot get more superstitious than that
@@oscarsingingwhenhesbored4215 We are all Gods and Goddesses slowly waking from our human slumber and remembering our true identity.
Watching her sing Queendom here is unreal. She looks like a little Queen here herself, something about the outfit. Combined with the war-cry like vocals, and the sheer nonchalance about her unshaved armpits. This girl means every word of her songs. You are my hero, Aurora!
Heard some of her songs a couple of years ago and it changed my life completely. Her voice, her lyrics, her soft and yet powerful intensity are simply something else.
This back up singer harmonizes so beautifully with Aurora! Bella ❤
She gives such an artistic performance by just existing. I am formally obsessed.
Every time I watch her perform 'All My Demons Greeting Me as A Friend', it's like she has a new perspective, a new story, a different way to express it as she's more exuberant, more playful, and ironically, younger than her younger self. It's a beautiful thing really, to see her change and grow(and grow in reverse in a way; again the irony). Still, don't grow too fast flower 🙏🏻💔
so true, she's amazing
This is from her new album, not 'All My Demons Greeting Me as A Friend"
Ceph Fuzz, two of the songs are from her first album
She's definitely a warrior of love.
God, i love the way she gives emphasis and inteprets each of her songs.
A wise girl, with a wonderful voice. Aurora you’re a magical queen!!
Silja is the perfect back up singer/partner of Aurora, but sadly we witness that Silja already quit the band and focused on her own music, and i love how she pursue her dreams of becoming an artists ❤️
Silja is the name of the girl who supports you? Thank you very much, I love what you do and I also love how well your vocal tones come together
aurora the greatest artist of our lifetime

Just when I thought that I couldn't love her more, I stumble upon all her amazing live performances and got shooked and mesmerized by her beautiful voice and energy... 🔥
She brought back the light that was missing in my life to see the world with new eyes, finding the beauty I thought was lost everywere I'm going and i'm so thankful for that. ✨
I will follow her path on this world forever and always no matter what.🙌
Warrior and weirdo for life!
💛
i really admire this woman. for the lyrics she writes, her voice and way of being when she is in front of a microphone
That high note bit on murder song just broke me. I've never gone from bobbing my head to crying so quickly
the way she finishes her performance is like she snaps out of a trance
she definitely was
I barely listen to anything else since I discovered Aurora. She's accompanying my process of healing from child abuse, neglect, and abandonment, in a journey where I am as much the "murdered" as the "warrior". Thank you, Aurora, for every piece of you you donate to us through your music. Your mum was right, your music is curing other people out there.
Oh wie schön, ein Mensch der so singt, sich so bewegt, so lebt und so lacht wie er sich fühlt :) :) :)
I absolutely love her voice!!! There is literally no female singer than can so easily bring tears to my eyes, so human and flawed and real - soul cleansing. I don’t admit that for anyone - I feel her songs tear away the lies and the arrogance of stupid people who think they need to cling to the ego, I’m so happy I connect to Aurora from day one. I grew up on bands like Led Zeppelin and The Doors and Fleetwood Mac and even 80’s bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure - still nothing like Aurora and I feel like that’s her genius and she doesn’t even try...Aurora’s so natural and genuine; dark and moody in all the ways I love music to be. Blessed Be!
So many Aurora gems to discover...and every session is unique.
iconic!!! she isn't tired just making new sounds with her own music
Today I discovered you and I fell in love. In your voice, stage movement, hairstyle and appearance, charming smile after each song. The band also does a great job - playing instruments and singing. I can't stop watching and listening. My 8 year old kids loved it too. Thanks for what you do :)
Wow, just today? Lucky you! You still have so much from her to discover, so many feelings to experience by listening and watching this "life changer"... I really would like to be able to discover all this one more time, at least. Enjoy this lovely ride, I really envy you...
Aurora is The Fifth Element. For Sure.
Protect her at all costs!
This stripped down Warrior is the best version yet, loving it.
I really like how she tunes herself for each song....... Lovely soul.... ❤❤
I dont often get goosebumps while listening to music, but holy shit her voice!
The way she sings WARRIOR here... She's such a beautiful, expressive human being. AURORA, you inspire me!! ❤
To me she looks like she means the words she is singing and enjoys performing as much as Tyler from twenty one pilots. Both are posessed while singing. Awesome!
YES
THAT’S IT
THANK YOU
Yes Aurora and Tyler, I adore them so much they are pure talent
Tarvo Grusz YES EXACTLY
Wow, I really like 21 pilots too and it didn't cross my mind to compare them
Is anyone else in the wonderful situation where they are totally falling in love with AURORA? the more I find, the more powerful it gets.
It’s quite an all encompassing feeling isn’t it? I can’t listen or watch anyone else but her and especially her live and acoustic music
@Aurora Aksnes no, thank YOU
Yes, obsessed with this little fairy, she is totally magic and I can listen all day and usually do.
An incredible voice. What a wonderful vocal performance !
OMG there are no words she is so pure and i feel her so innocent but yet so wise. The way she feels her music is incredible one knows she sings for music and not just for the money like si many singers but not artists. She is gorgeous !!!!
I love watching her perform murder song. Well everything really. She is somewhere else while performing, so deep into it. It is mesmerizing to watch. I read a comment somewhere else that put words to how she makes me feel. "Watching her perform is so intimate, that you almost feel like you should look away because it is so raw".
Words cannot define how she makes me feel when I listen to her; she is truly the most amazing voice i have ever heard. So sincere and raw, and how she can completely change from one song to the next in an instant like she does is nothing short of brilliant. I truly love her music.
9:40 this why live can be much better than studio, the power never fails
Yeah, that delivery was absolutely breathtaking..
She's such a pure soul. Very rare these days but something to treasure when you sense it authentically in another
BRAZIL LOVES AURORA
Acho que ela é mais conhecida aqui do que no pais dela.
Only gays
Only an asshole
Anna Araújo saporra memo
Anna Araújo pode ter certeza!
Love Aurora, I’m also loving the love for the band members as well!
her voice seems soooo clear and magical in this video...but she kinda sounds like she has a cold but either way her voice is BEAUTIFUL #QUEENAURORIE
I love how she sounds exactly the same in the recordings and live ❤ I'm so happy she exists in this world
That may be the best version of Queendom i've heard so far
my baby is truly a bless to the world, she keep amazing me every time she sings with all her love to her fans and i just cant wait for her new album, shes gonna slay.
I love her energy. I can always feel it when she sings. I love it.
I love every version of Aurora songs. No one it's better than other. Some says that lives are better than studio. I think all are the best because she is 💖💕
Every version still being a part of her
I love how she performance, she have so much expressiveness and she feeling her songs.
hands down one of her best live performances. all her vocals are totally on point
julie a for her it’s more like hands on of her best performances! up because she is always sings through her hands lol
Her happyness is so contagious. She is like the sun appearing after a harsh thunderstorm
it is very soft, yet full and settle. and performed only four people. so organic so lovely. I love and enjoy this so much.
I've been at their concert a year ago and I'm so grateful it happend. She reminds me of my mother a little bit, she wanted to be a singer too, she was delicate and sensitive but unfortunately bad things happend and she had to change and work hard for our family. I cried at that concert and it was beatiful.
"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion" Sir Francis Bacon
ursafan40 I looked up francis Bacon Lol
That's a fantastic quote.
She tells a different story in every song she sings it’s indescribable the feeling she gives me especially in her live performances
Aurora is such a great band. Aurora is such a great performer. Vocal work is so great in this band.
Aurora Aksnes doesn't belong to any genre or is subject to any form of musical limitations. Her music is so incredibly unique and beautiful that I can barely believe that her songs are actually real.
I dont understand why people hate Aurora's armpit hair, or anybody's armpit hair. It's not like you have to lick it up and down, let people live how they want to! Because at the end of the day, its just hair 😉
prejudices, beliefs and mental patterns that limit
@Zeus Core Armpit hair itself does not contain a bad smell. Any smell from your armpits comes from your sweat glands. Shaving your armpit hair doesn't make your armpits smell better. The best thing you can do is to shower/wash your armpits and wear clothing that isn't restrictive and is of breathable material.
Oh I didn't notice she has armpit hair. She's very blonde so it can't be seen much. Also armpit hair doesn't smell if you wash it often and just apply deo
Sadly, people hate armpit hair when a woman has it.
She is an adult, she should have body-hair, otherwise she'd be posing as a pre-teen. That's how I see it.
A banda dela é tão maravilhosa 😍 muito boa essas performances dela
Simmmm
This is so fantastic
Carin de Kock I noticed this too, so ridiculous!
Is it tho? Is it really so unthinkable someone would do that?
Making way too much of a problem over a personal preference.
I love Aurora so much! I've been listening to her non stop. She is such a beautiful person inside out. True talent!
I will always believe Odd Martin Skalnes is the only guitarist/vocalist that could have brought out the best in the songs, and Aurora herself. They had "it". Whatever "it" is. I believe Odd had a lot to do with Aurora finding her musical voice and gaining as many fans as she has, as fast as she has.
BUT , the new guy has grown on me these past few months. Starting with the Lollapalooza Brazil show. I think he's coming into his own, finding his place in the songs.
He'll never be Odd Martin, but that's not his fault.
Agreed
yeah some people still cant accept the change. Things happen. I am totally fine the different members. The ones who left are chasing their dreams too so we should support them and appreciate what comes.
ursafan40 i came here to protecccct fredrick💪🏻👺👌🏻
Just kidding. I really love Martin, but i do think her band is complete now. I mean, Silja, Magnus and Fredrick? They have magic in the point of their fingers
@@fuidormissil let’s hope Silja comes back, they are perfect together
This is someone that is exactly where they need to be in life.. her artistic abilities are amazingly beautiful and she is just an all around beautiful creature
Ella es la única que me alegra en un momentiiiitooo
La aduuuruuuuu
Aurora is amazing, this girl is mesmerising. Like Nympf she enchants you when she sings and dances , incredible
It's just amusing that she changes her body moves on every line and it has a deep meaning. She has a very creative mind.
So sweet 😍😍
Such an incredible artist..
And these acoustic versions on youtube with this band are so great.
I'm in love with their music
Anyway such a great style :D
Found out about this artist right here and now, and I must say, I was _absolutely taken away by this performance_. Watching it over and over, can't get enough! In contrast I don't mean to complain, but I was sad to find that the album versions of these song didn't have the same authentic sounding spirit, intensity or sound at all. I'll have to keep my fingers crossed that this simple but powerful way of arranging songs is something that will carry on into the recording studio from here on. Best of luck to the performers
You should definitely watch the Nidaros Cathedral concert, it's with an orchestra. I think it will be remembered as her best work.
And I agree with you about the arrangement, acoustic and orchestral is better in general and works much better with her spirit.

Scotia Bushcraft thanks for the tip!
+Bucky RUclips suggested I listen to her. I had no idea why. This one got me first
ruclips.net/video/IwNoXFgg8lo/видео.html
I love her album myself, but I do prefer every acoustic version she has ever done, with just Odd Martin on guitar.
Like these

ruclips.net/video/evBgLWQwAFA/видео.html
Have fun and explore her catalog here on RUclips. She's extraordinary
See her live my friend, it's one of the most beautiful things. I took someone who'd never heard a single song (Aurora was at a festival in Hungary) and my friend's jaw hit the floor, and she told me afterwards 'that was one of the most intense, spiritual experiences of my life'.
Gotta say...this girl is best served live. I like the studio stuff a lot, but up close and personal is her element.
Nobody gives more to each performance that Aurora does! And as always, amazing how much dynamic range they get out of the guitar, drum box and two phenomenal singers.
i can't explain how much i love this
Love her vocals so so much and her energy she puts into each song BEAUTIFUL.
I dig her acoustic version of Queendom better than the studio version, I freaking love this girl!
You should hear the harp version, it's angelic, I swear that's what we hear in heaven
@@avastepanian567 Except that there is no heaven ...and no god...other than that yes it is a great version, beautiful....
@@BrandonPetrucci I didn't ask whether you believe in heaven or God, there was...exactly no need? I'm trying not to get mad but like don't respond to people if that's all you're gonna say
@@avastepanian567 Ava, your response is proof that there is NO GOD....the 'Bible' is a product of the Roman empire and the creation of the Roman Catholic Church and it changed the Bible thousands of times.... 'Jesus' was a man but he was made into a diety and there were hundreds if not thousands of those who claimed to be the 'savior' ... you have been duped.....
@@BrandonPetrucci I'm...lost? How is my response that you were being rude with an unnecessary comment "proof" that there is no God? Also, where in my comment about how angelic AURORA is did you get the impression that I'm trying to convince people that God is real? Yes, I believe in God, but that's irrelevant, and you're attacking that for no reason. Again, I'm doing my best not to get mad at you, but you're kind of making that hard.
I am inspired. I love strange. The voice. The mucisians accompanying. And backing vocals. Aurora is more than a singer. Full package.
So, I gonna be honest. I had no idea how weird Aurora is, I mean I knew she wasn't your average singer, but you know what, so am I. I love this song, she's very talented and different, that's what drew me closer to her music.
is weirdness in the eye of the beholder?
I’m totally amazed every time I watch her sing! Love you Aurora from the Philippines !!
Hayy sa wakas. May isang kababayan! 😁👍
This performance is just perfect
one of my favorite aurora performances. watching her just makes me calm
Damn it! I need to work, but I can't hear Aurora without see her expressions! D:
Let the world become a worldwide AURORA !!! An eternal dawning of enlightenment...pureness , freshness .lightness !!!
angel sent from above to bless us with her voice 💞
I`ve never heard a person speak so honestly and still come across so genuine.It`s a shame but I dont think the world will judge them fairley.
I luv her energy of dancing
She is so happy
I just recently found her and I’m so impressed! I usually wouldn’t like this kind of music but this is beautiful and her vocals are absolutely captivating
BRAZIL LOVES AURORA TOO
She is so free when she's on stage she even takes off her shoes, she is an inspiration
