Despite the passion, the hurt, the love, the pathos in Aurora’s songs, it’s important to realize that almost all of them are purely made up and created in her head, from her stunning imagination and creativity. She just pours her emotions into the performance and makes it seem so real.
The murder song is about a story she read in a newspaper about an assisted suicide. A woman begged her husband to kill her before her terminal disease got any worse. It was a real story about real people.
@@eyemagistus she has said in interviews that the song was not about real ppl, but characters that she writes about. Tho it may have been inspired by that event (it is not confirmed by her iirc). This song is about those characters as is It Happened Quiet.
A really nice reaction 🤩 This song is so sad. It’s about mercy killing. She’s singing from the womans point of view, and she doesn’t want to live anymore. And she knows that he’ll do anything for her. And when he holds her in his arms and realise that she won’t wake up, he cries and cries 💔 Aurora said in an interview: "First of all, I have a really vivid imagination. You know that these things may be happening to someone right now. It's kind of a terrifying thought. I just had to get that thought out of my head - and that's why I wrote this song. But the two characters are actually just made up in my head. I've written many songs about them - maybe I'll make a book with them." Aurora rarely writes songs about herself. Please react to: “All Is Soft Inside” live at KEXP 2018🙏😍
The male vocals on this really gave it another dimension and with just the guitar it’s phenomenal. I’ve never had a vocal performance give me the chills quite like this did. I’ve probably watched this version a thousand times. And those beautiful expressive eyes of Aurora just keep you transfixed . She’s a one of kind. Sweet adorable and cute as cute can be.
seen aurora last year in the uk and to say her vocals are breathtaking is an understatement. the croud was consumed by her love and her passion to deliver a flawless performance.
I’m a 48year old metal head, and recently stumbled across Aurora. She’s amazing, other worldly, ethereal… I’m a fan, I’ve added nearly her entire catalogue to my play list. Her live performances are excellent, pick any of them! Conqueror live on Jimmy Fallon, or It Happened Quiet live at the Current are great next videos.
This was absolutely an amazing song to do by aurora! Little boy in the grass, mahogany session is absolutely beautiful. Also black water lilies live, and dance on the moon exist for love session.
Hi Samantha... the story behind the song turned actually out to be false. For a long time, it was believed that Aurora was inspired by a local newspaper article about a man who killed his wife for mercy, because he couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore. But in a later interview, Aurora stated that the two characters came out of her own mind. She "invented" these two characters and described the act of mercy killing - in the most impressive way possible - from the view of the victim. I love both versions very much. Each version has its beauty and passion.... her facial expression is unbelievable, in both versions. But this stripped down 2015 version, however, in all of its "rawness", together with the accompanying singer and guitarist, exposes her vocal qualities more... in the Nidarosdomen version, it's the beautiiful instrumentation and arrangement, that convinces the listener - BESIDES Aurora's interpretation. What would the next Nidarosdomen song be ? I'd suggest "It happened quite", since then you have another song that you can compare two different versions with one another. This Nidarosdomen version was actually the very first time, Aurora sang this song in public. Best wishes from Germany : Gerry
The original version is not wrong. I saw an older interview at the time and she told the first story. With the hint that it happens all over the world. It has also been said again and again that the song is INSPIRED by it. INSPIRED, it is said to have influenced the song and not that the song tells this story. This is an essential piece of information that you leave out. You just say the story is wrong. You just didn't see the interview.
I found an old german article with this quote + translation: "“Murder Song” handelt von etwas das ich im Radio gehört habe aber ich habe meine eigene Version daraus gemacht." Translation: ""Murder Song" is about something I heard on the radio but I made my own version of it."
Dear Samantha! How good was this reaction ...... among the better of this outstanding performance. In my opinion her second best. Although I've seen these perfromances so many times, it's hard to tear my gaze away from this singer .... But this reaction was an exception. Your enchanting sensitive face made me completely speechless. I especially loved her crying tones it is so much Aurora
Her voice and movements pull you into her songs, making you part of the story. From what I have heard, this song is about someone with a terminal illness, in great pain that will only get worse. But her songs are open to some personal interpretation.
One of the songs of the nidarosdomen concert is "Little boy in the grass", she wrote it to a friend she lost in a massacre in Norway, such a sad and emotional song, I'd recommend you to watch the mahogany session version as well, it's beautiful
Haha :) I knew you would say that after reading the comments on the other one (i'm 1 min into the video). Yes, all the Nidarosdomen songs are stunning. More than stunning. But this particular performance is her best of this song, for sure. Same goes with "It Happened Quiet" she also does that at Nidarosdomen, but the very best version of that one is the "live at the current" one.
In Aurora’s face I see mind numbing fear and sheer explosion of terror which overloads our psyche. What monster could destroy such a beautiful loving creature, the song is almost too much to bear. That’s how it makes me feel, anyway this kind of trauma is soul destroying, if you understand where I’m coming from on this. It is probably the most powerful song I’ve ever heard and way too much pain to deal with this song, I don’t want her coming out with any more songs like this, Aurora please! Keep it rainbows and roses please, such a dark song coming out of such a beautiful fair fairy creature. There is definitely some dark corners in Aurora‘s mind. Love your reactions Samantha❤️
Wow! I was touched by that, thanks :) Please, more more more Aurora. She is my healer. Can I request you react to "It happened quiet - live at the current"? I know you will like it if you liked what you have reacted to so far. It's one of her very best performances.
Aurora has had some tramatic times in her life Her song little boy in the grass is about a friend she lost in the mass school shooting and bombing in NORWAY. Why did yiu have to go was composed By Aurora and sang at the funeral of a friend killed in a car accident. the family downloaded it and put it out
I read up on what the inspiration was for her to write this song. She has had many losses and I think she feels deeply about EVERYTHING. For this song it was not personal but that she heard on the news about a murder and this was her adaption of it
U should react to the entire nidorosdomen concert. It’s about an hour long and literally every song she sang is absolutely amazing. It’s easily one of the best concert performances I’ve ever watched
About the song: Google may have taken you here:- aurora-aksnes.fandom.com/wiki/Murder_Song_(5,_4,_3,_2,_1) About this performance: Take a look at this interview:- AURORA - Backstage Interview - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert : ruclips.net/video/vZurl-LXmY4/видео.html
Aurora is so special I am not sure why she isn't more widely celebrated. Maybe she is just too unique for some people. My only complaint is in most of her songs I need the lyrics to know what she is singing.
Amazing reaction, my eyes go big and wild every time I see this performance. I saw a reaction once and the person related it to something that will haunt me forever... Fair warning, its upsetting and broke me, but I think it's a perspective I've never heard other than that one time... . . . . You're getting a second warning, it's related to animals... . . . Third warning, it's about the death of a dog... . . . . They said that they thought about their dog, and how the voice she's portraying could be what the dog would say if they could talk. I'm so sorry if you didn't heed my warning and this has upset you. I think it's very interesting, albeit heartbreaking.
As several have pointed out, this is nothing of a aurora's personal experience. She read about a man who had helped his loved one who had a terminal illness. I don't know how, but I guess it was not in a legal way. Emphatic as Aurora is, she felt this person's agony and therefore this song .
Great reaction as always. I agree with others who suggest taking a look at the amazing warmth and positivity this young woman is capable of delivering. Any of the suggestions below can turn a bad day into a celebration. They are the ones I go to when I need to recharge my supplies of optimism. Queendom (Live Sessions or Official for the visuals), No Cure for Me (Official Video because it's amazing), Heathens(Live Performance is best), Giving into the Love (again Official Video has important visuals).

I mean, when there's SO MUCH of emotion... heck, she's radiates it. Well, that's what makes Aurora unique (imo).
A really nice reaction 🤩
This song is so sad.

The most authentic genuine artist today. With her it is not an act. She is exactly who she in person as she is on stage.
This is a song you can feel in your spine. The words, her voice and her expressiveness is s complete package of unique artistry!
This was absolutely an amazing song to do by aurora! Little boy in the grass, mahogany session is absolutely beautiful. Also black water lilies live, and dance on the moon exist for love session.
second the mahogany session of Little boy in the grass. phenomenal.
I will use 4 words to describe that performance.... That was bloody brilliant ❤️

Ok so yes, then it was inspired by a news story about a husband who was on trial for the mercy killing of his terminally I'll wife.

Yes this is the right one :)! I absolutely love your reaction! Glad you also reacted to this version, thank you.
I’m so happy every time I see a new Aurora reaction from you! Thank you so much!
Wow! I love the way you do your reaction videos! Aurora is a special singer!

thank you for your reaction i enjoyed watching it 💗
I’m new to your channel. I absolutely love watching you get lost in the sea of emotion with every song. Really enjoyable content.
Beautiful just beautiful 🥰
See her "It Happened Quiet Live at the Current" More intent lyrics, and net level harmonies...with one accompanied and a guitar.
I tear up every time. It’s weird.

Try the song runaway from same concert, it’s mind blowing. Try live version of I went to far as well.
