📌 Thank you for watching our reaction to Aurora! We were truly captivated by her performance. If you enjoyed our reaction, please give this video a thumbs up, share it with friends, and subscribe to our channel. Don't forget to join us this Saturday for the live premiere of our reaction to Aurora's full concert from Haik. You don't want to miss it!
In addition to concert, I think better to watch first half part of documentary in HAIK also, which give us more understanding to AURORA's music. She is so amazing.
@@hiroakiureshino5938 This is a pre recorded video we are doing a live premiere of with everyone. Unfortunately we can't go back in time and add the documentary in 😔
My wife died recently of a terrible illness that she fought for 40 years. I was her caregiver all that time. But the illness won and there was nothing I could do to save her this time. This song hts me so hard right now. Aurora is such an angel.
So sorry for your loss. I hope you're doing OK and that you have a supportive family or good friends around you. Wishing you strength and healing from Scotland.
This was one of my first exposures to Aurora, and I was totally hooked afterwards, and haven't been able to get enough of her since. Truly one of the best performances I've ever seen.
I have seen Aurora perform this live 3 times and each time I’ve been left speechless even though I know what’s coming,it’s like she has a lasso around your heart and your simply drawn into her mind and you are seeing what she is seeing seriously no other artist has ever done that to me,it’s why I’ve no hesitation in saying that Aurora is in a league of her own.you can understand why she calls her songs her little children the love she has for her music is as her mother said a medicine for everyone it’s incredible that at such a young age she can write lyrics as deep and meaningful the 3 songs you have reacted too.she wrote them in her teens actually Runaway she wrote at the age of 12 which is astonishing.but for me the song she wrote at the age of 9 called Lucky is a masterpiece her performance of this at the nidarosdomen cathedral is breathtakingly beautiful and it’s why for me Aurora is more than special she simply is a Genius.❤️
Magical? Yes! You have so many greate things to see! The Nidarosdomen concert are fantastic! My favorite is Through the eyes of a child (you have done this... I know 😂) and Lucky AND Life on Mars (David Bowie cover). And Haik is coming?! I can't wait!
@@RNTV The "Life On Mars" version on channel: NRK (Norwegian TV) with 4.3M views is better in my opinion and many others I have seen saying so in comments. Even though the Nidarosdomen version is great, and the Howard Stern version is a bit better, this one is even better. She is solo playing an old Fender Rhodes piano while singing.
I am 63 and I've never been so emotionally immersed in a performers performance. It's😮 as if she plugged me into her feelings as she sings. No one I've ever affected me like she does. It's incredible. So genuine. Majic.
The sign of a brilliant performance is its lingering effect. Having watched this one a great many times it still is as gut wrenching as the first time. She is simply the best of the best and look forward to more reactions in the future.
Thank you for your incredible reaction guys, to Aurora's 'Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)'. She is only 19 at this concert in December of 2015. The song was written at age 18 from reading or hearing a news report. Yeah, during this period she would transport herself to the story's scene and take us along. You've already watched a song from the Nidarosdomen (Norwegian cathedral) concert in December 2017 when she was 21. I see you have the HAIK concert scheduled where Aurora was 23. Please listen to a more recent in-studio performance of her song 'Exhale Inhale' from 2022 at age 25. I guarantee you will be blown away! Here is the RUclips search title: AURORA - Exhale Inhale (Live) | Vevo Studio Performance
Our pleasure friend. Aurora is a treat to listen to. We were able to easily find the video you mentioned. Thank you for including the search title for us. We can't wait to hear more from Aurora
Thank you so much for this beautiful reaction 🤗 Magical is the right word for sure👍 Aurora is the most captivating artist I’ve ever seen😍 I’m so looking forward to your reaction to the HAIK (hitchhike, pronounced hike) concert To bad you’re not reacting to the whole documentary, it’s amazing 😍 HAIK is a Norwegian tv show where they celebrate Norwegian artists, and this time it’s Aurora. The day is filled with surprises for her, it’s so wonderful watching💕 She only knows about the concert in the end, but she doesn’t know it’s held in the forest she knows so well. It’s a concert I’m sure she’ll never forget💕 See you in the forest not far from her parents house👍😍
Our pleasure friend. We are looking forward to sharing our expeince with everyone so much. It was an amazing experince for us watching all this time later. We can only imagine what everyone else must of felt being there, and Aurora herself. What a moment to cherish.

Is this what you are speaking of when mentioning a HAIK documentary? - ruclips.net/video/n_uW-0HDWoc/видео.html We haven't dove into a lot of behind the scenes stuff or interviews yet just because we have a hard time getting enough music reactions out consistantly.

If the demand is there we will do our best to supply.
@@RNTV Yes, the second one is the full documentary (with the concert in the end)👍😍 I understand, but I know some Warriors that would love to see your reaction to the full documentary, it’s really something else 👍🤗 Still looking forward to the concert though 😍😍
Aurora is magical for sure, and a protector of nature. She is captivating and her live performances are so freakin awesome ❤️ Also her songs give so much "food for thought " and i love that ❤️ So cool that itsy bitsy Norway has so magical artists like Aurora and Angelina ❤️ Great reaction and I look forward to your Haik reaction ❤️ I also think you have to see the HAIK documentary aswell, there you get to know more about the magical being that is Aurora ❤️
Truly magical! The lyrics do really get our brains going. Norway must be a very special place indeed. Is the beginning of this video the documentary? - ruclips.net/video/n_uW-0HDWoc/видео.html We haven't dove into this type of content just yet. We're still going thorugh growing pains of the channel growing so rapidly. We have over 1000 music reactions to go through so adding in behind the scenes footage, interviews, and documentaries hasn't been something we've done. If enough people want to see that type of content though we will do our best to bring everyone the reactions they want.
@@RNTV Yes, that is the full HAIK version with documentary and concert 👍 And with subtitles aswell 👍 I understand that there must be a lot of work you guys must be doing and that you cant do it all ❤️ What I have seen when reactors have reacted to the documentary, you get a bit of another discussion in the comments, because there is so much to talk about, which is cool ❤️
@@RNTV If you dont react to it, atleast watch it on your own ❤️ Its a great documentary and watch, especially if you want to know a bit more about Aurora 👍❤️ There is also an emotional and amazing performance in the documentary aswell 👍
Aurora is masterful...the story telling is unmatched. The subject matter is not everyone's cup of tea but Aurora manages to present it in a hauntingly beautiful way...she is unique in everything she does and the music she writes. Wonderful reaction guys. 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤ Looking forward to the Haik concert, it is magical as well.
The Nobel Prizes are all given out in Oslo, Norway. This 2015 concert had 2 of my favorite Norwegian performers....Aurora and a-ha. Aurora at only 19 and the band a-ha doing their classic 80s song "Take on Me" and their now 65 yo old singer showing that his amazing voice hasn't changed in 30+ years...❤❤❤
I really think the two of you would be blown away by Ren - Hi Ren. It’s a masterpiece.. but I can’t tell you much.. you need to go into it blind. Big love. ❤
Aurora's charisma level is off the charts. You need to watch some of her interviews and clips of her concert banter to see her amazing, multi faceted personality.
When the person you love above everything else in the world BEGS you to do this - begs and begs and cries and begs - this song will hold a new meaning.
It is funny but it is what she said in one interview it is about love, tragic love. I guess you get it right. My interpretation was mercy killing but you can interpret it in more ways. And she is just incredible performer. So much emotions, beautiful voice and this expression. She feels every word and transmit emotions. And yes even her counting is beautiful :). Also very cool reaction.
She was on my "Bucket List" and I saw her last year. Watching her go crazy in "Running With the Wolves" alone was worth the 6 hr drive to see her! Edit: Was general admission, small 1200 seat theater. Got there hrs early and staked myself out. Snagged a front row seat three seats off center stage. Freaking Awesome!!!
I knew that you would love this one my friends. Another song she made almost in the same theme is "It happened so quiet" ruclips.net/video/C6hq5cziIHc/видео.html . Just loving to follow your journey discovering Aurora. Sending you lots and lots of love. Keep up the awsome work you do
It was just as good as you said it was and more friend. We are enjoying our Aurora journey so much! Thank you for this link. We will add it to our list
Sooner then i thought back om this chanal, after ren now. I hope we see more aurora reactions and ren when he releases something, i absolutely love aurora, good times watching you two react to her
Hello you two,, great reaction again. Thank you. She will pull you into every song and captivate you. I saw it. She caught you. This is probably the saddest love song I've ever heard. A man shoots his wife to end her suffering. Can love be bigger and more painful at the same time than in this story? AURORA manages to make this pain palpable with her voice and her movements. You have seen AURORA's eyes. She wasn't on stage. She was somewhere else. You saw how deeply she was thinking about these two people, that she sometimes shook herself uncontrollably. I believe that she is not conscious of her movements. She's so into the story in her head that she's doing the moves in the story. I heard that AURORA was horrified by these movements when she saw the recording of the performance. That means for me that she did it unconsciously. Her empathy must be beyond measure. She spreads all her feelings that she has in this moment in front of us and lets us look into her heart and soul. There is no other way I can explain that almost everyone who saw this performance was affected by this story. AURORA is more than a storyteller, more than a singer. AURORA is a true artist. This is from an interview with Aurora: "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." And in another interview: It’s just fascinating that some people can have in them the desire to kill while some people cannot pick a flower without feeling bad. That's about this I wrote 'Murder Song'. How can a man kill someone he loves and it happens often in the world. But he doesn't really understand what he did, it's a very complicated story. Her, she didn't want to be in this world anymore, and she knew that this man would do anything for her. She asks him to kill her and he said: 'Ok, I love you, I would do anything for you.' After he killed her, he became sad because she didn't move anymore and he didn't understand where she went. He didn't understand why she left and he start crying. And it is sad, because for the rest of his life, he will not understand and he will be sad." ------------------ There are also two very sad songs by AURORA. - Why did you have to go - ruclips.net/video/3n-dMxbIqJA/видео.html She wrote it for a friend from school who died in a car accident when she was 18. She only sang the song at the funeral. But the sound was recorded and the girl's mother is said to have published it on RUclips. They have chosen good pictures and films for the video. AURORA didn't actually want to release it. I'm sure you've rarely heard anything so sad. - Little boy in the grass - ruclips.net/video/1kiV704Nd_I/видео.html This is about the terrorist attack in Oslo and on the island of Utøya on July 22, 2011. An assassin killed 8 people in Oslo. Two hours later he shot 69 young people on the island. It was a Labor Party youth camp. It took 90 minutes. A friend of AURORA was among the victims. I assume that these early experiences characterised AURORA and contributed to the initially very sad songs. Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany
If you haven’t reacted to “It happened quiet” live by Aurora, then I highly recommend it. Btw, after watching few of your reactions I have subscribed not only because I have enjoyed them a lot, but also you seem to be such a nice people. All the best for you guys 😊
Thank you so much friend! In our Aurora playlist in the description you will find our full reaction to her HAIK concert which included “It happened quiet”. I'm sure we will react to it again from a different setting in the future as well.
@@RNTV in “live at the current” she sings with female guitarist doing some beautiful harmonies with Aurora, I think you may enjoy it after watching your murder song reaction😉
Nice reaction, y'all! Aurora is just on a completely 'nother level, yeah? SPEAKING OF "ANOTHER LEVEL," another very powerful, expressive, and unique artist who's working at a completely different level and who's been blowing up over much of this last year is a guy named REN. I don't know what you guys have been listening to recently outside of your reactions, so maybe you're already onto Ren (he's been all over the reaction channels for the past several months and his vids are getting millions and millions of views). If not, please, check out his song "HI REN." It's currently sitting at just over 10 million views (if that sort of thing enters into your decision making when picking songs to react to) and... well, I don't want to spoil anything but, like Aurora, Ren is one of those musicians whose songs transcend music and become full-on art. If you're a human, you will feel it. AND, also like Aurora in the video you just reacted to, Ren does it in a minimal way: just him, a guitar, and his super expressive, super present performance. Oh, and a lamp! But that's really just more for narrative flavor... So, yeah, if you haven't already discovered and listened to Ren on your own (I didn't see a reaction to him when I checked your video list), definitely do! I really think you'll be blown away in a similar way as you are with Aurora. AND GOOD NEWS! Ren loves music reactors! He actively encourages people to share and react to his videos, will never copyright claim or strike them in any way, and he's said straight-up that if RUclips ever hassles a music reactor about copyright for one of his videos, just appeal it and he'll make sure it gets unblocked. Oh, and last thing(s): (1) Here's a challenge for you: If you do end up reacting to it, try to define what genre "Hi Ren" would fall into. It's not as easy as it sounds. I'm still not sure if Ren is "outside the box" or if he's somehow inside ALL the boxes. Dude's a beast. And an artiste! (2) In the official video for "Hi Ren," he's actually performing it live. Ren is Welsh but spent quite a while busking in Brighton, honing those performing chops. So, unlike so many other artists who might've recorded a version in the studio and then lip-synced to the track for the music video, Ren is playing and singing live in the MV. And it's awesome. Anyway, again, great reaction, you guys! As always! Looking forward to the next one, whatever it may be...
In an interview on Scalvian ( Scandinavian talk show ) she was asked what the difference is between studio time vs. live performances ... She said is totally different . Studio is the work . Live , she is a vessel and ' she ' is not there ; the song moves through her ... ~ Something you can't really put into words ...
Aurora is a Sprite, she drags you into her world. Makes you better, stronger and loved. Then she lets you out back to make the world better in the little....
Great reaction guys! Is this haunting or is it haunting. For the performance from both of them and her expression and voice it´s one of her greatest.I love ther "crying" notes I suggest 20191121 - AURORA - HAIK, Infections of a different kind, HQ No Subtitles (2/7) That one is a emotional rollercoaster and prepare for the venue (It´s totally Aurora) ruclips.net/video/96SlAOaHdfo/видео.html See ya on next one
Very haunting indeed. We have a live premiere this Saturday which will be our full reaction to the show from HAIK. Infections of a Different Kind included. We hpe to see you there, if you can't make it the video will be up for all time with time stamps to easily skip around.
It's bananas to me how self-actualized and confident and powerful and wise she is....at such a young age. She was only 19 here. 0_0 So what was _I_ doing at 19?? Well, it was 2003...so I was reading those dreadful Left Behind books, certain the world was gonna end any day, getting sucked into 9/11 "truther" conspiracies online, and convinced I understood reality...oblivious to my own ignorance and unearned confidence in my truly myopic beliefs. I grew and learned a lot over the next 20 years...became wiser, and in turn LESS confident that I had it all figured out. But when I see Aurora, and others like her, who are SO actualized and wise and aware at such a young age....it honestly baffles me. Like...how? I suppose some stellar combo of nature/nurture...? I will say, I'm like 12 years older than Aurora....but I legit look UP to her in a lot of ways. If I'm as wise and self-actualized when I'm 70, as she is now at 26, then I'll consider my life a total success. She's just....WAY ahead of most people.
A mercy killing is a different thing. More in place with terminal medical conditions like brain cancer etc. The story of the song’s inspiration is conveyed expertly in beautiful terms.
I have two suggestions for you to react on. My favourite is Sia 'breathe me', and then especially the kcrw 2007 one. She wrote that when she was really depressed and wanted to commit suicide. Luckily a friend called her just at the right moment and talked her out of it. Second song is Tori Amos 'me and a gun'. It's about when Tori offerred a ride to a fan after a concert when she was about 21. He proceeded to rape her for hours and threatened to murder her. There are two versions of this song.. one is acapalla, and it's my suggestion to watch that first. It's at Montreux, and she got the crowd quiet and her point across. There is a version on you tube somewhere where she does this song with band, and it's almost unrecognizable. It's much more rock and rage-filled, and i don't really like rock and 'hard' songs, but i do understand her rage in this one.
Hm how many people viewing this haven't seen the original? What's the stat on that in general on these reaction channels? Cause the pauses in this one were brutal bro
Did you click a reaction to watch the original video? If you don't want our reaction you are free to click the link in the original. It's free of pauses and commentary. 👍
In my experience nearly 99% of the people who watch reactions only do so after watching the original many times and falling in love with it. Nearly no one watches reactions to music they haven't already heard
@@RNTV bro I'm absolutely positive you know these stats better than me, so I believe you. I thought maybe when you found a REACTIONARY RUclipsR that you liked, you'd check out his new stuff too, and get introduced to new stuff alongside him, therefore killing those statistics point blank. But that's what I've been doing - and expecting the rest of the universe to follow your lead is usually the wrong move.
@@BIasphemer It is unfortunate. We've tried to use our "influence" to spread awareness to other, lesser known artists and it never works. There is such little cross pollination it's sad. Most people just watch reactions to their favorite artists and refuse to watch anything else. Don't let that stop you from expanding your horizons though 👍
@@RNTV Shit, that's actually depressing to hear... I'm a permafrozen norwegian usually listening to black metal and jazz, give me something fresh I haven't heard before! Throw me something, right now!

@@RNTV For this song there is a studio version that is amazing. "Live at The Current"
I highly recommend listening to the performance of this at Nidarosdomen. It takes on a much more decidedly bitter connotation.
Sooner then i thought back om this chanal, after ren now. I hope we see more aurora reactions and ren when he releases something, i absolutely love aurora, good times watching you two react to her
Hello you two,, great reaction again. Thank you. She will pull you into every song and captivate you. I saw it. She caught you.
This is probably the saddest love song I've ever heard. A man shoots his wife to end her suffering. Can love be bigger and more painful at the same time than in this story? AURORA manages to make this pain palpable with her voice and her movements. You have seen AURORA's eyes. She wasn't on stage. She was somewhere else. You saw how deeply she was thinking about these two people, that she sometimes shook herself uncontrollably. I believe that she is not conscious of her movements. She's so into the story in her head that she's doing the moves in the story. I heard that AURORA was horrified by these movements when she saw the recording of the performance. That means for me that she did it unconsciously. Her empathy must be beyond measure. She spreads all her feelings that she has in this moment in front of us and lets us look into her heart and soul. There is no other way I can explain that almost everyone who saw this performance was affected by this story. AURORA is more than a storyteller, more than a singer. AURORA is a true artist.
This is from an interview with Aurora:
"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."
And in another interview:
It’s just fascinating that some people can have in them the desire to kill while some people cannot pick a flower without feeling bad. That's about this I wrote 'Murder Song'. How can a man kill someone he loves and it happens often in the world. But he doesn't really understand what he did, it's a very complicated story. Her, she didn't want to be in this world anymore, and she knew that this man would do anything for her. She asks him to kill her and he said: 'Ok, I love you, I would do anything for you.' After he killed her, he became sad because she didn't move anymore and he didn't understand where she went. He didn't understand why she left and he start crying. And it is sad, because for the rest of his life, he will not understand and he will be sad."
------------------
There are also two very sad songs by AURORA.
- Why did you have to go - ruclips.net/video/3n-dMxbIqJA/видео.html
She wrote it for a friend from school who died in a car accident when she was 18. She only sang the song at the funeral. But the sound was recorded and the girl's mother is said to have published it on RUclips. They have chosen good pictures and films for the video. AURORA didn't actually want to release it. I'm sure you've rarely heard anything so sad.
- Little boy in the grass - ruclips.net/video/1kiV704Nd_I/видео.html
This is about the terrorist attack in Oslo and on the island of Utøya on July 22, 2011. An assassin killed 8 people in Oslo. Two hours later he shot 69 young people on the island. It was a Labor Party youth camp. It took 90 minutes. A friend of AURORA was among the victims.
I assume that these early experiences characterised AURORA and contributed to the initially very sad songs.
Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
If you haven’t reacted to “It happened quiet” live by Aurora, then I highly recommend it. Btw, after watching few of your reactions I have subscribed not only because I have enjoyed them a lot, but also you seem to be such a nice people. All the best for you guys 😊
Thank you so much friend! In our Aurora playlist in the description you will find our full reaction to her HAIK concert which included “It happened quiet”. I'm sure we will react to it again from a different setting in the future as well.
@@RNTV in “live at the current” she sings with female guitarist doing some beautiful harmonies with Aurora, I think you may enjoy it after watching your murder song reaction😉
Nice reaction, y'all! Aurora is just on a completely 'nother level, yeah? SPEAKING OF "ANOTHER LEVEL," another very powerful, expressive, and unique artist who's working at a completely different level and who's been blowing up over much of this last year is a guy named REN. I don't know what you guys have been listening to recently outside of your reactions, so maybe you're already onto Ren (he's been all over the reaction channels for the past several months and his vids are getting millions and millions of views). If not, please, check out his song "HI REN." It's currently sitting at just over 10 million views (if that sort of thing enters into your decision making when picking songs to react to) and... well, I don't want to spoil anything but, like Aurora, Ren is one of those musicians whose songs transcend music and become full-on art. If you're a human, you will feel it. AND, also like Aurora in the video you just reacted to, Ren does it in a minimal way: just him, a guitar, and his super expressive, super present performance. Oh, and a lamp! But that's really just more for narrative flavor...
So, yeah, if you haven't already discovered and listened to Ren on your own (I didn't see a reaction to him when I checked your video list), definitely do! I really think you'll be blown away in a similar way as you are with Aurora. AND GOOD NEWS! Ren loves music reactors! He actively encourages people to share and react to his videos, will never copyright claim or strike them in any way, and he's said straight-up that if RUclips ever hassles a music reactor about copyright for one of his videos, just appeal it and he'll make sure it gets unblocked.
Oh, and last thing(s):
(1) Here's a challenge for you: If you do end up reacting to it, try to define what genre "Hi Ren" would fall into. It's not as easy as it sounds. I'm still not sure if Ren is "outside the box" or if he's somehow inside ALL the boxes. Dude's a beast. And an artiste!
(2) In the official video for "Hi Ren," he's actually performing it live. Ren is Welsh but spent quite a while busking in Brighton, honing those performing chops. So, unlike so many other artists who might've recorded a version in the studio and then lip-synced to the track for the music video, Ren is playing and singing live in the MV. And it's awesome.
Anyway, again, great reaction, you guys! As always! Looking forward to the next one, whatever it may be...
What a nice reaction.
In an interview on Scalvian ( Scandinavian talk show )
she was asked what the difference is between studio time vs. live performances ...
She said is totally different .
Studio is the work .
Live , she is a vessel and ' she ' is not there ; the song moves through her ...
~ Something you can't really put into words ...
you should check out the collaboration she did with Wardruna: Helvegen
Guys pleaseee keep reactin to her forgotten love live next
Aurora is a Sprite, she drags you into her world. Makes you better, stronger and loved. Then she lets you out back to make the world better in the little....
Great reaction guys! Is this haunting or is it haunting. For the performance from both of them and her expression and voice it´s one of her greatest.I love ther "crying" notes I suggest 20191121 - AURORA - HAIK, Infections of a different kind, HQ No Subtitles (2/7) That one is a emotional rollercoaster and prepare for the venue (It´s totally Aurora) ruclips.net/video/96SlAOaHdfo/видео.html See ya on next one
Very haunting indeed. We have a live premiere this Saturday which will be our full reaction to the show from HAIK. Infections of a Different Kind included. We hpe to see you there, if you can't make it the video will be up for all time with time stamps to easily skip around.
If you haven’t already listen to Exist for Love. It’s a beautiful song.
It's bananas to me how self-actualized and confident and powerful and wise she is....at such a young age. She was only 19 here. 0_0 So what was _I_ doing at 19??
Well, it was 2003...so I was reading those dreadful Left Behind books, certain the world was gonna end any day, getting sucked into 9/11 "truther" conspiracies online, and convinced I understood reality...oblivious to my own ignorance and unearned confidence in my truly myopic beliefs.
I grew and learned a lot over the next 20 years...became wiser, and in turn LESS confident that I had it all figured out.
But when I see Aurora, and others like her, who are SO actualized and wise and aware at such a young age....it honestly baffles me. Like...how? I suppose some stellar combo of nature/nurture...?
I will say, I'm like 12 years older than Aurora....but I legit look UP to her in a lot of ways.
If I'm as wise and self-actualized when I'm 70, as she is now at 26, then I'll consider my life a total success. She's just....WAY ahead of most people.
AUORA
This is one of the songs she created about a couple who are dealing with a terminal illness.
A mercy killing is a different thing. More in place with terminal medical conditions like brain cancer etc. The story of the song’s inspiration is conveyed expertly in beautiful terms.
🤩
😊👍

As far as I know there is a real story behind this song.
I have two suggestions for you to react on. My favourite is Sia 'breathe me', and then especially the kcrw 2007 one. She wrote that when she was really depressed and wanted to commit suicide. Luckily a friend called her just at the right moment and talked her out of it.
Second song is Tori Amos 'me and a gun'. It's about when Tori offerred a ride to a fan after a concert when she was about 21. He proceeded to rape her for hours and threatened to murder her. There are two versions of this song.. one is acapalla, and it's my suggestion to watch that first. It's at Montreux, and she got the crowd quiet and her point across. There is a version on you tube somewhere where she does this song with band, and it's almost unrecognizable. It's much more rock and rage-filled, and i don't really like rock and 'hard' songs, but i do understand her rage in this one.
I interpret this song as a father who kills his daughter as she’s going through a terminal cancer. It’s an assisted suicide
Hm how many people viewing this haven't seen the original? What's the stat on that in general on these reaction channels? Cause the pauses in this one were brutal bro
Did you click a reaction to watch the original video? If you don't want our reaction you are free to click the link in the original. It's free of pauses and commentary. 👍
In my experience nearly 99% of the people who watch reactions only do so after watching the original many times and falling in love with it. Nearly no one watches reactions to music they haven't already heard
@@RNTV bro I'm absolutely positive you know these stats better than me, so I believe you. I thought maybe when you found a REACTIONARY RUclipsR that you liked, you'd check out his new stuff too, and get introduced to new stuff alongside him, therefore killing those statistics point blank. But that's what I've been doing - and expecting the rest of the universe to follow your lead is usually the wrong move.
@@BIasphemer It is unfortunate. We've tried to use our "influence" to spread awareness to other, lesser known artists and it never works. There is such little cross pollination it's sad. Most people just watch reactions to their favorite artists and refuse to watch anything else. Don't let that stop you from expanding your horizons though 👍
@@RNTV Shit, that's actually depressing to hear... I'm a permafrozen norwegian usually listening to black metal and jazz, give me something fresh I haven't heard before! Throw me something, right now!
Thanos, wasn't it?
