To anyone who sees this....and isn't an Aurora fan or only barely knows of her. After watching this... Look up and watch her live at Nidarosdomen concert. The entire thing is here on YT. Trust me....if that doesn't touch the core of your soul and blow your mind....I don't know how to help you. 4 years ago in early 2020, I'd never heard of Aurora, and randomly played that concert. One hour later...after picking my jaw off the floor, I was instantly a massive fan and could tell it would be a lifelong thing. She's a once in a generation writer and performer and vocalist. AND...if that weren't enough, she's basically the coolest kindest human ever.
Aurora is capable to merge massive attack, enya, bjork, portishead and all the trip hop vibes with her voice and talento in one shot, I love their music
There's even the occasional Norwegian black metal influence. I got into Aroura because I was looking up music from Frozen for my kid and I'm really glad I did.
she's really good at side-yodelling and has so much control in her valsetto. so good at trills and quick vocal turns. that's not natural to everyone but i think she is naturally gifted, she sounds like a songbird
Massive Attack's album Mezzanine - with Teardrop front and center - was essentially my musical awakening back in '98. I was about 14 and the impact is still living. AURORA just made me hear this song as if it was my first time hearing it back then. But different. I don't think I am able to express clearly what her rendition is doing to me. I just can't fathom this cover has dodged my attention for 6 years.
There arent many artists that truly make music that is beyond words and makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end from a single note change.
For me was Massive Attack, Fearless and Portishead. No one like them about today. Our generation was so lucky to have the music we did back then. Even techno/EDM back then was amazing too. Many a weekend traveling to a farm outhouse or field for a secret rave. Ah memories! Gen Z no idea! Lol
@@nataliaentrearaucarias2492 The name Aurora translated from Latin means "dawn", "morning dawn." In Roman mythology, the name of the Aurora was called the goddess of the morning dawn.
I agree 💯 Wow, I was like ok whatever another cover she absolutely killed thugs and is intoxicating to listen too. In my humble opinion better than the original song Also she reminds me of portishead
@@travisdjermyn So true! She did an outstanding performance. She's delicate and ethereal but very powerful at the same time and she carries you to an enchanted world. It's like she's singing with her soul instead of her voice. So so beautiful.
@@testpattern23 yes, I've seen Wardruna once in concert I would recommend a million times over to anyone looking for a really fun night. I do wish I could I have seen them with Aurora, however she is busy with having a career, so I understand.
I have to disagree, her voice is all over the place. Her style is unique but the skill of opera singers is incredible, this chick is just some indie artist with an interesting sound.
I absolutely love the original and usually I don't care much for covers of my favorites,...... But Aurora singing this, finally seeing her play keyboards again,....... I'm seriously having goosebumps!
I really like how she doesn't stick to the original song structure, she actually puts her own spin on it by breaking the flow intentionally. Makes it sound almost elusive, relaxing, but keeping you on the edge.
I LOVE Massive Attack, so I am very critical of anyone who attempts something like this. But what a surprise that I am actually blown away. What a beautiful voice Aurora has! She did this song justice and made it her own all in one. Well done!
Right? I was scared to listen because the original is already perfect. But this was excellent. Very true to the original while bringing something that makes it different.
You should never be critical of someone else's interpretation of something. It doesn't exists for judgement. If you heed this advice you will save yourself from from being disappointed often in your life. No expectations, just now.
@@TheGunnCatI guess a lot of people are listening to pick out the best Like a Version covers for Hottest 100. But I feel like it's pretty normal to not want to her another person take on a track that you love, or a musician that you love. Music holds so much emotional power, and hearing a song adopted and reframed by someone can be jarring. Occasionally it feels almost blasphemous if done "wrong." It's akin to someone copying an amazing painting by and artist who has put years of heartfelt work into creating a masterpiece, and using shoddy technique, dodgy materials and poor colour choice. It's then just a poor copy that holds no meaning. All creative work should be treated with respect when reproduced.

If she was still with us, Dolores O'Riordan could have delivered an equally beautiful yet completely unique version. Much love to Aurora too, her voice is otherworldly.
I believe one of the lads said the same thing this morning but I always feel incredibly honoured when international artists chose to sing their songs in English when it is often not their first language. Especially when they have voices like Aurora's which is so pure and ethereal. So beautiful.
Sophie HM I believe well over 50% of our artists sing in english (even american singers have songwriters who don't have english as their first language), and it can feel weird when artists sing in our own language. You become too critical, it's too naked, english becomes like a protection. It's funny that many second generation immigrants are the ones that seem to use our language most in music, even if it is together with their slang.
Tears of joy falling from this song. This reminds me of some EMDR therapy I had in a room once, eight years ago, and the woman said to me, 'What happens here....is private,' with the most empathy and support for me that I'd ever felt.
To be honest, I'd never heard of this girl, and this is the first time I've ever heard her sing. Wow!!!!!!!!! I didn't expect that!!!!!! Unbelievable voice, so perfect and so clear. Can't wait to hear more of her work!!
And also the lowlands festival. There is a video called "Aurora reads fan arts ..." you should find it. Its the other site of her music. And ofcourse the new songs at coachella and lollapaloza, but most are in not such a good quality, so that we are still exited for the studio versions. Still a first impression to what is coming next .
Her high notes are. I've never heard a voice that has such different tonal qualities between .. maybe wrong word... octaves. It's so smooth in her high notes but has a lot of texture in her alto range. It's not a bad thing at all, it makes her interesting and when she breaks into the higher notes, has a surprising effect. Very cool.
Elizabeth Fraser and the C Twins spine tingling cover of Tim Buckley's song "This mortal coil" AKA Song to the siren, although Tim's original version is extremely poignant, especially considering the tragic early deaths of both father Tim and son Jeff, the performer of the definitive version (in my opinion) on Hallelujah.

Aurora you keep me going everyday. Thank you for continuing to be yourself in the Hollywood industry as you rise to your fame. You are an icon a role model for us all
I’m from Liverpool but I’m not “proud” the Beatles came from there, and they’re the best band of all time. But that’s me. I haven’t asked anyone for an autograph or a selfie, ever.

Yeah, they must have spent some time getting the mix and tune perfect before playing. Also, she has such a child's face of expression, the vocals come through like pure and innocent. Is pretty cool.
Few songs have impacted my life as much as Teardrop did when I heard it first over the speakers at Café Paris in downtown Reykjavík. I fell so instantly in love with it that I had the waitress write the name down on a piece of paper so I could run home and incorporate it into my life, wholly... In a way that had me sitting up, countless nights, softly playing variations of it on the piano, completely lost in time and space... And now, to be introduced to Aurora, hearing her for the first time, covering this song... Feels like the whole world just shattered into uncountable fragments... and her music is somehow reassembling it piece by piece in the order it should've been to begin with... Because it now seems as if Teardrop was just a demonstrative sample of the impact music could have...
This song was how the sunsets sounded when I lived down south. I forget what playlist I discovered it on. But it played along with the sunset so well. I love it.
I am a lifelong Massive Attack fan and have heard some of Aurora's other music and liked it a lot. This is incredible. I love it. Her voice sounds like a siren.
She's not even started singing yet, it's just the instrumental intro and I'm already covered in goosebumps head to toe and there's a literal teardrop on my anatomy notes
Discovered her 4hrs ago. Went to bed 11pm... now its 3am and i‘am 15-20x videos in, into the Aurora rabbit hole. I love her! No sleep tonight. She will definatly stick.
You don't say!!! Man, I developed a real addiction after watching this video ... Her videos should come with a warning - "Watch carefully, it might fuck up your life!"
@@gargothan1177 I don't know if I would go that far... but I agree its very easy not to fall in love with this. She is very talented at what she does I guess, but what she does, isn't for me. LIked the original much better.
The creatively blessed alway seem to be the ones who are a slightly odd. Wouldn't it be a dull depressing world if we didn't have these exuberant and hugely creative beautiful people.
I could not agree more. Ive been a thrash/death metal head for 20years, 29atm, and when I discovered Aurora, I was speechless. Im 50% metal and 50% Aurora now. Ive never seen, or heard, anything as mesmerizing as her
@@MetalJuggler have you seen and heard hope Sandoval (Mazzy star)? She is the same, mesmerizing. You should give her a listen, either "into dust" or "fade into you".
Interesting fact about the original song, Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins was recording the vocals for the song when she found out her old boyfriend Jeff Buckley had disappeared while swimming in the Mississippi river in Tennessee. His body was discovered 5 days later. She considers the song to be about him in a way.
That's what I am thinking since taking my eyes from any kind of news and listening to music, especially shamanic 😊🎧🎶 One thought keeps pooping up in my head: Humans are beautiful 💞

Man, I don't know if I would have discovered Aurora if it weren't for Massive Attacks Teardrop... I only clicked on the video because teardrop is a favorite of mine. I would regret not ever finding aurora because man I'm obsessed now.
I found her by searching "Aurora borealis" on yt because I think they are pretty impressive. And then I disovered Aurora. I totally know how you feel and I am so glad that I've found her...
Aurora is gould and her live performances are often different from her studio versions. If you like Aurora you proberbly like Kalandra to. Kalandra is a Norwegian band with a female singer who I think sounds a lot like Aurora and all off their live performances are better than the orignals. 👌
Thanks for removing the banter at the beginning, even though it was amusing. Removing the outro would make this the perfect video. Anyway, thanks for hosting Aurora and making this recording happen. I've lost count of how many times I've played it over the years.
I could just listen to her deliver melodic vocals like that all day... no lyrics, no words... maybe even no music. Just her pure voice, delivering its majestic beauty.
This plus nature boy. Her voice has the same effect as harmonic strings in an orchestra, but much more special. They can both create a feeling of epicness, tragedy and importance. Resulting in goosebumps and fullfilled mind. But also a bit of sadness.
Aurora sang (from 1:02): Love, love is a verb Love-is-a-doing word Feathers on my.. breath Gentle impulsion Shakes me, makes me wider Fearless on my.. breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my.. breath Night, night of the bay Black flowers blossom Fearless on my.. breath Black flowers blossom Fearless.. on my.. breath Teardrop on the fire Water is my eye Most faithful mirror Fearless on my.. breath Teardrop on the fire Fearless on my.. breath
I heard "feelers on my breath". Don't get me wrong, she's an amazing singer and I get that English is not her native language, but did no one tell her how "feather" is pronounced?
@@R.F.9847 To be fair though the original singer also sung the word 'Feathers' uniquely that it sounded more like 'Fearless'. As I a kid I always thought the lyrics said Fearless too
You know when you are in the presence of a true artist. Yes a cover but the deliberate way those artists sing and play the instruments ... shows how less is more when you know what you are doing. Subtle nuances that make you beg for more.

It's so faithful to the original, yet still is clearly her own. This is a perfect cover.
I could not agree more ....
Better than the original.....
@@binkyslapass1 NEVER! Altough i had goosebumps!
It takes someone special to attempt a cover of this song; Aurora pulls it off smashingly and makes something new and original.

To anyone who sees this....and isn't an Aurora fan or only barely knows of her.

Look up and watch her live at Nidarosdomen concert. The entire thing is here on YT.

I'm in the 'barely know of her' category, but it's easy to see what a rare, natural talent she is. This is clearly someone 'born with it'.
I agree, I've seen it countless times and I recommend it to people constantly. She is earth-shatteringly unique.
You should look up her performance of Life on Mars on Trygdekontoret. She plays it alone. It is magical.
Discovered her on a acid trip last year. Been a fan ever since
Ibas fumao, no !? 😂😂😂
She's like a mystical nymph princess who's come to bless this mortal world with her voice.
Meow Mew she comes from mermaids
I totally know what you mean. The whole experience of listening to this was otherworldly and I can easily see her face and offbeat look fit into that
im with you on the mystical nymph princess thing.
Cannot agree more - elves are real! I fell into her sky blue eyes...
Yes! For sure. I get butterflies listening to her♡
This blows me away every time I hear it. Aurora has such a gift.
truth
Aurora is capable to merge massive attack, enya, bjork, portishead and all the trip hop vibes with her voice and talento in one shot, I love their music
There's even the occasional Norwegian black metal influence.
I got into Aroura because I was looking up music from Frozen for my kid and I'm really glad I did.
Just discovered her but yea, her voice suits trio hop so well. So ethereal
And The Cranberries
But what about Hooverphonic ? ^^
I think she sounds like Deloris O'Riordan.
The control she has in her voice is absolutely amazing.
My first thought exactly. Such control!
she's really good at side-yodelling and has so much control in her valsetto. so good at trills and quick vocal turns. that's not natural to everyone but i think she is naturally gifted, she sounds like a songbird
She's so clear on the high notes. What an incredible voice

On a fishing trip when the wind was too strong eat codeine listen to mezzanine !! The world turned purple !!!
perfect song choice for her voice
how true! she should release this cover in one of her future albums, or as a B side- this is so good and fits her voice perfectly...
Not the right haircut, however
Charlie Ridgway It's her hair. It'll always be the right haircut. For her.
Don't like the look ? Shut up, close your eyes and listen.
If she picked it then it's the right haircut.
this is why her name is aurora, she deserves that name
I love that name. Sounds nordic, beautiful and mysterious
Lawra aurowra whoarora...
@tecdessus I know, and I'm norwegian too.
In Spanish Aurora means a new dawn, exactly was she is ❤️
@@nataliaentrearaucarias2492 The name Aurora translated from Latin means "dawn", "morning dawn." In Roman mythology, the name of the Aurora was called the goddess of the morning dawn.
she looks like a powerful witch who lives in a land of ice and snow and her voice is unbelievable. im instantly a fan
You're not totally wrong; she's Norwegian, thus she is from a land of ice and snow and her voice is unbelievable. Brgds a Norwegian.
Just like her role in Frozen 2. :)
I recommend you listen to
Barclay James Harvest.
Galadriel.
This beautiful song describes Aurora
perfectly.
She's Queen Elsa irl❤️❤️
Maybe she is then
My ten year old turned me on to Aurora two years ago with Runaway. I am blown away by her and my daughters mature music taste. ❤
Before listening to this I was like “oh no, another Teardrop cover”. Thank God I give it a chance. This is a gem!
I agree 💯
Wow, I was like ok whatever another cover
she absolutely killed thugs and is intoxicating to listen too. In my humble opinion better than the original song

No, she used the beat for this song as backing for an awesome cover of bitter sweet symphony.
Jonathen Russell oh yeah i totally forgot about that, sorry
mashup. She sang a bit of teardrop at the end.

Norway has a tradition of church singing. (see Sissel.) Its possible Aurora did that as a kid.

This little Norwegian child is absolute magic. I adore her❤
What a luminous being.
R5d4d2 amen
her voice is so angelic, this is what you hear at the gates of heaven
One of our Norwegian singers we are extremely proud of
as you should ;)
Descendants of classic rock by Edvard Grig.
I’m from Liverpool but I’m not “proud” the Beatles came from there, and they’re the best band of all time. But that’s me. I haven’t asked anyone for an autograph or a selfie, ever.
A gift from Asgard indeed
aurora + liverpool fan
you have my respect
Lyrics
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me lighter
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
Night, night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
This is one of the best cover songs done on Triple J!!!!
when you get a voice like that, everything sounds better
Her voice is intoxicating. Her presentation of the songs she covers like this and David Bowie's Life on Mars are just absolutely spectacular.
truth
I forgot how much I love this song. Aurora, you really brought this song back to life again.
Her voice is so haunting… how beautiful it sounds…
every time this woman opens her mouth I'm brought to tears
She's not that bad.
❤💯❤😪✌
@@SkelNeldory Aurora's voice evoque bittersweet emotions in her listeneres, that's why she make us cry, we can feel connected with her music
Yes, I found myself tearing up when she started singing! There's something about her voice that is so pure.
This. This is what I didn't have the words to convey.
This is how the Northern Lights would sound like if we could hear them.
You mean the AURORA borealis?
She has heard them
Have you watched frozen 2 and heard her?
Actually, northern lights do make a sound
@@c_a_l_l_a_n yeah
Those are some crystal clear vocals
yeah buddy
Fantastic production quality. Props to tripleJ.
Yeah, they must have spent some time getting the mix and tune perfect before playing.
Also, she has such a child's face of expression, the vocals come through like pure and innocent. Is pretty cool.
I would loot her
The amount of talent she has is beyond this world. Captivating and enchanting. I'm simply speechless.
This cover is haunting. It's ethereal, simply fantastic!
If elves existed, Aurora would sure have to be one. Her voice is pure and straight from heaven..
If you want to see her really look like an elf, check out Through The Eyes Of A Child - Stripped (Vevo UK Lift)
Yes she doesn't really seem to age either lol
Elves exist and Aurora is human.
The best of us.
Few songs have impacted my life as much as Teardrop did when I heard it first over the speakers at Café Paris in downtown Reykjavík. I fell so instantly in love with it that I had the waitress write the name down on a piece of paper so I could run home and incorporate it into my life, wholly... In a way that had me sitting up, countless nights, softly playing variations of it on the piano, completely lost in time and space... And now, to be introduced to Aurora, hearing her for the first time, covering this song... Feels like the whole world just shattered into uncountable fragments... and her music is somehow reassembling it piece by piece in the order it should've been to begin with... Because it now seems as if Teardrop was just a demonstrative sample of the impact music could have...
Huh, an Icelander. You're a rare breed mate
Fallega sagt :)
So beautifully said, I couldn't have said it better myself. You write the way I feel inside.
Wow that was beautiful....
I saw cafe Paris was closed when I was there in april
This song was how the sunsets sounded when I lived down south. I forget what playlist I discovered it on. But it played along with the sunset so well. I love it.
Thanks for sharing your awesome memory...I will play this song during a sunset.......☀☀☀☀☀☀☀
The bend she does when she sings "gentle impulsion" kicks me in the heart every time I hear this cover.
My goodness....... this never ceases to spark deep emotion within me. She could inspire empathy from a sociopath.
Dead on
And she has
she's the sociopath
@@gunlancer1920 you're the sociopath
Mhathue: I will play this for my "fiance" and see if it has any effect on him.
Why the hell has it taken me this long to find Aurora?!?!? She is amazing!!!! 100% one of my favorite artists ever!
Still listen to this weekly 6 years later. Hard not to. 😂
Triple j. The miracle to our ears and hearts.
Likewise. Wish there was somewhere I could get a hard copy of this song as it deserves its place on cd, mp3 or whatever
Word! @@jpcoll2011
I've never listened this version, it's so beautiful, her voice is like water across the mountain.
I am a lifelong Massive Attack fan and have heard some of Aurora's other music and liked it a lot. This is incredible. I love it.
Her voice sounds like a siren.
-Blythe I think you are right. I always wondered what Siren Song sounded like.
@@funkyalfonso I feel like I'd crash my ship into the rocks if I heard her voice.😂
That is the purest voice I've ever heard. WOW!
It takes a lot of energy and talent to cover a song like this that can make you cry
Skills. Forget about talent.
She's not even started singing yet, it's just the instrumental intro and I'm already covered in goosebumps head to toe and there's a literal teardrop on my anatomy notes
What a voice. What A Voice. And that control she have over it. Stunning.
Holy shit... never heard of this artist, when she started singing though.... chills...
Discovered her 4hrs ago. Went to bed 11pm... now its 3am and i‘am 15-20x videos in, into the Aurora rabbit hole. I love her! No sleep tonight. She will definatly stick.
I first heard her from the fifa 16 soundtrack song was (Conqueror) been listening to her for 4 years and counting😆
Lucky you, you have a beautiful journey to go
Welcome to queendom xD
Listen to her cover Bowie on the Stern show. Outstanding
It's physically impossible to watch this video and not fall in love with Aurora. Impossible.
disagree shes way to cool for me to love her best to not even look at her tbh
You don't say!!! Man, I developed a real addiction after watching this video ... Her videos should come with a warning - "Watch carefully, it might fuck up your life!"
@@MrSholer *too
It's actually very easy not to fall in love with her, I'm still waiting to stop bleeding from my ears. Her voice on this song is actually painful.
@@gargothan1177 I don't know if I would go that far... but I agree its very easy not to fall in love with this. She is very talented at what she does I guess, but what she does, isn't for me. LIked the original much better.
Teardrop is a work of art, and this really pays homage by capturing its mood. Lovely
The creatively blessed alway seem to be the ones who are a slightly odd. Wouldn't it be a dull depressing world if we didn't have these exuberant and hugely creative beautiful people.
I could not agree more. Ive been a thrash/death metal head for 20years, 29atm, and when I discovered Aurora, I was speechless. Im 50% metal and 50% Aurora now. Ive never seen, or heard, anything as mesmerizing as her
“normal” is boring. slightly odd is interesting.
Plenty more music to widen your spectrum
@@MetalJuggler have you seen and heard hope Sandoval (Mazzy star)? She is the same, mesmerizing. You should give her a listen, either "into dust" or "fade into you".
Just ask China or North Korea
i watch this when I need a good cry. Jesus Christ, thi is hauntingly perfect.
Probably the best Teardrop cover I have heard. I'm awestruck.
I don't know, have you heard José Gonzales cover song ? ruclips.net/video/_6rIks03cdM/видео.html
Jose's cover is nice, but IMO it's not near as good as Aurora's. Hers has such an eerie feel to it.
Angelical
Life on mars too
I'm not a fan of covers of Massive Attack, none seem to even hold a candle... then I heard this. What an experience.
This doesn't hold a candle to the original either.
I am moved.
DER FÜRST tell us how you really feel
@DER FÜRST & Elliott Gold: Your hate is poisoning you.
Agree with sentiment first part, Massive is unique. No one is going to touch Liz and Massive on a cover of the original.
Her voice is just... otherworldly. She has crazy voice control.
So happy to see they edited the first 60sec out and now it's just the song
I know, right? It only took them 6 years to figure that out.
Interesting fact about the original song, Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins was recording the vocals for the song when she found out her old boyfriend Jeff Buckley had disappeared while swimming in the Mississippi river in Tennessee. His body was discovered 5 days later. She considers the song to be about him in a way.
i read that on Wikipedia about this song.
Thx!
Old boyfriend or ex boyfriend?
Oh my fart I did not know that. Thank you for sharing.
I still think the fact that he wrote Song to the Siren and drowned is creepy as hell
If she was a siren, I'd have wrecked my ship and drowned in bliss.
DevilatyourDoor mood
Elizabeth Fraser - Song to the Siren - have a listen.
I imagined, there'd be mermaids watching as you slowly sunk into the dept's of the black sea.
She IS!!
That is by far the most wonderful comment I've ever read. 😄
this is one of the little reasons i think the world has to be saved
I wouldn’t go that far. The world is dogshit. Fact
Totally agree!
That's what I am thinking since taking my eyes from any kind of news and listening to music, especially shamanic 😊🎧🎶 One thought keeps pooping up in my head: Humans are beautiful 💞
iulyanah * The world is beautiful, humans are far from it...
Beautiful said but sad
7 years later and RUclips spits this out at me to remind me things are still okay
They really aren't
Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless on my breath

Of a confession
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart)
It's tumbling down (as in love falling apart)
Wow. I never realised that there were real lyrics for this song and I've had Mezzanine since it came out.
It's "night, night after day" on the original album sleeve I have. Aurora sings it thusly also. 👍
When I hear "Water in my eye, Most faithful mirror" I always get chills because its true
Man, I don't know if I would have discovered Aurora if it weren't for Massive Attacks Teardrop... I only clicked on the video because teardrop is a favorite of mine. I would regret not ever finding aurora because man I'm obsessed now.
I found her by searching "Aurora borealis" on yt because I think they are pretty impressive. And then I disovered Aurora. I totally know how you feel and I am so glad that I've found her...
that makes two of us, now =D
@@gandalf9460 Yes that is awesome and I'd love to see but what a great way to discover her, ahha! I'm glad we both found her :)
@@atheistleopard618 Awesome, that makes me so happy!
@@tinntinnamp =D
This popped in my feed about a week ago.... first time listening to Aurora. Listened to all her live performances on repeat since then.
Aurora is gould and her live performances are often different from her studio versions.
If you like Aurora you proberbly like Kalandra to.
Kalandra is a Norwegian band with a female singer who I think sounds a lot like Aurora and all off their live performances are better than the orignals. 👌
Same here. God bless youtube's algorithm
shes an incredible young lady...she does a gud cover of life on mars by bowie. n to think she was young when she did these performances.
I JUST discovered her and am obsessed!! She's otherworldly!
Thanks for removing the banter at the beginning, even though it was amusing. Removing the outro would make this the perfect video. Anyway, thanks for hosting Aurora and making this recording happen. I've lost count of how many times I've played it over the years.
I could just listen to her deliver melodic vocals like that all day... no lyrics, no words... maybe even no music. Just her pure voice, delivering its majestic beauty.
Then you might like this ^_^ (watch from 2 mins)
AURORA- Through The Eyes Of A Child
ruclips.net/video/CFzExUN1N8I/видео.html
This plus nature boy. Her voice has the same effect as harmonic strings in an orchestra, but much more special. They can both create a feeling of epicness, tragedy and importance. Resulting in goosebumps and fullfilled mind. But also a bit of sadness.
Aurora sang (from 1:02):
Love, love is a verb
Love-is-a-doing word
Feathers on my.. breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me, makes me wider
Fearless on my.. breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my.. breath
Night, night of the bay
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my.. breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless.. on my.. breath
Teardrop on the fire
Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my.. breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my.. breath
I was so caught up in the vocal I never realised I didn’t know the lyrics or what the song is about. That’s my homework. 🙂
@@nicholasmartin297 yeah i mean, i wanna sing along.. without her vocals ofcourse..
I heard "feelers on my breath". Don't get me wrong, she's an amazing singer and I get that English is not her native language, but did no one tell her how "feather" is pronounced?
Thanks!
@@R.F.9847 To be fair though the original singer also sung the word 'Feathers' uniquely that it sounded more like 'Fearless'. As I a kid I always thought the lyrics said Fearless too
Such a hard song to cover, let alone do a bloody good job of it. This cover made me a fan of Aurora.
Same
I’ll be that guy. To me her original stuff sounds like backing track to adverts these days.
This is fucking fantastic though.
You know when you are in the presence of a true artist. Yes a cover but the deliberate way those artists sing and play the instruments ... shows how less is more when you know what you are doing. Subtle nuances that make you beg for more.
I feel AURORA should appear on the next Massive Attack album, if we ever get one. It's a match made in heaven.
Aurora is her own identity...an amazing beautiful songstress with a rare pure voice. Thankyou Aurora xx
Just started and haven't heard her sing a word and I already know it's going to be TREMENDOUS.
is this what heaven sounds like?
Yes
definitely
No, heaven sounds like HOME Resonance
I little
No, heaven sounds like Traumprinz - there will be XTC
Simply out of this world. Never heard anything so insanely beautiful and gentle yet powerful.
When you discover an artist and they cover one of your fave tracks to perfection - about to delve into the world of Aurora 🧡
wish I could discover Aurora again for the first time. Enjoy!
How is it going? I took a dive into that world and it's incredible and there's no way I'm leaving.
doing exactly the same!
@@archirix it's an absolute pleasure right? Pretty much love all of her music. She's such a top tier songwriter too in my opinion.
@@jallen6874 i am only discovering her now. but i am deeply impressed. she is very unique for sure
