A cover like this, so different from the original song, proves the talent of both the songwriter -Noel Gallagher- and the performer. I love this. Aurora is amazing.
I would like to leave this city This old town don't smell too pretty and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum 'Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away, You're half the world away And when I leave this planet You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind And if I could leave this spirit I'll find me a hole and I will live in it and I can feel the warning signs running around my mind Here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole My body feels young but my mind is very old So what do you say? You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway You're half the world away, you're half the world away X2 ) you're half the world away I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down I don't feel down
an Honest comment .. This is coming from a fan ! I found a super underrated Artist .. he make music just like her.. I have one of his songs in my playlist .It's called you are not gone ! Go check out 💜💜..
Having an entity inside your vocal chords must really hurt, not only for her but the angel as well. Imagine living in a cramped damp environment for your entire life screaming out for help, but everyone just mistakes it for singing... sounds more like several hour of surgery followed by stitches on one part and a lethal injection on the other.
Noel Gallagher is such a genius and sincere songwriter but damn, Aurora covered the song and made it otherworldly. A huge applause for both amazing singers and songwriters.
@@jackpurchon6695 Not really, it's just a woman singing it slightly slower, there's nothing particularly wow about this, if it were it's own song then yeah it would be good but as it's not I find it a bit "meh!" Most people don't know it's a cover because it wasn't an Oasis A side and was mainly known from the British sitcom the Royale Family.
Apparently there's also a song of the same exact name by One Direction, different lyrics, but same name, I doubt it was named with awareness of this song, but hey, this sort of thing had happened many times before in the music world.
@@NguyenNguyen-lw2qk It was written by Noel Gallagher, who was a member of Oasis. It was originally released by Oasis, hence why it's an Oasis song. I also don't think you understand what a cover version is. When an artist performs their version of a song originally by someone else it's a cover, which is what this song is!
TheRoseMusicBox Of course you are. If I ever happened to be in dream scenario in which I'd have to choose who's gonna be the definition of beauty and perfection, it'd be really tough decision between you and Aurora. Have a great day too!
Is she even a human or some pure soul? If anybody knows about John Keats' poem "Ode to Nightingale" where he has described that bird as a pure spirit, immortal and heavenly just because of her beautiful voice. Aurora is that Nightingale that Keats was describing about. 😐😘
I remember my best friend sending me the link to this song. she said “it’s just like us, we’re half a world away” we met on the internet and she was very important to me. we told each other we would meet someday and grow old together. we’re not friends anymore. i found the link not knowing it was this song and immediately burst into tears because it reminds me of her :( we haven’t talked in months and she doesn’t want to be friends anymore. everything reminds me of her. If you’re reading this, thank you for being my friend and even though we didn’t know each other for very long, it felt like i’ve known you for years. i miss you more than you can imagine. i’ll never forget you.
Friend break ups can sometimes be even more painful than relationship ones. I had a friend that I guess I may not have appreciated enough until he was gone. I loved him and he was one of my best friends for sure #1 out of any guy friend I'd ever had...I felt a deep connection to him almost like we were destined to be a part of each other's lives but I never told him until it was too late and he went on to live his life without me. I wish we could see each other again since we live in the same city but he cut me off and we haven't spoken in months. I listen to this song and can't help but to think of him because although I know he's not that far, it feels like he's half the world away 😔
This is where I discovered Aurora back when this was released, good to have her be the cast of The Voice in Frozen 2, her voice is perfect for the role. I hope the music industry let artists such as her be more recognized and shine.
My favorite part about this video as that the way she moves and the emotion given is just pure Aurora. The way she moves and thinks is exactly this. This isn't dramatic acting, this is her. Graceful and full of love.
Before I knew who Aurora was I heard this song in a John Lewis ad and fell in love with her, I never could find this song though. Later I saw Running with the wolves in my recommended and found her voice familiar. Looked at more of her songs and found this :)
@@randomdreamer5429 nah, she has songwriters who write for her she probably doesn't write anything herself and just shares songwriting credit because of the money
@@jonasrmb01 what????? She has been writting songs since she had 9 years of age. AURORA of all people is not really interested by the money. Pls educate yourself before talking shit.
@@jonasrmb01 she has written runaway at age 11. Can't prove of course that it was her alome :D but it is not just done by others I believe. Anyway I don't care tbh. I'm here for the music not for validation through admiration of so called genius. Peace. PS: Don't feel personally attacked. I'm not having you in mind, stranger on the internet. It's more about personal experiences and a little bit of interest in the human mind. Which sadly is a great deal about validation.
I just discovered this a cover, and WHOA, what an AMAZING cover. Truly, both versions are amazing and they have they very own spark. Aurora's music is just...mindblowing, thanks for existing
+PJ There are covers that get more notorious than the originals. I'm not saying that what's going to happen in this case, the original is awesome, but we never know.
Ricardo Xavier I mean I doubt it would, Oasis was the biggest band in the world around the time the original was released... Though it was from their B-side album! Anything is possible
+Kevin Muhlbach Gallagher stole the music from a Burt Bararach track called 'this guys's in love with you'. He's even on record as saying 'It sounds exactly the same. I'm surprised he hasn't sued me yet'. That's how music works though!
The way the music video creates a story with so few elements, like when she pours the water out of the bottle to make the paper-ship sail away, or just the dancing as simple and natural it is, is fabulous. No need to fill everything with unnecessary images, just straight feelings. Awesome :) And Aurora is absolutely lovely :)
Wait, did you call Oasis crap? I mean, I love Aurora, but Oasis is one of the most influential bands in history. They pretty much defined British music in the 90's.
I found her 3 days ago, and now everything is look more beautifull than yesterday. I love her so much. She's weird but she is so beautifull, and amazing. How can i tell you guys what i felt.
I felt the same way when I discovered her through a forum 4-3 years ago. From then on I kinda just... "Aurora exists in my life now.My life sounds so much better." This will sound kinda fake but I'fe fixed literal belly and headaches by listening to her music when trying to sleep. She's just *that* good.
@@valencat6063 ik there's something about her voice that not many of at all artists that have this unique voice and vocals as her and the most amazing thing is SHE NEVER WANTED TO BE A SINGER like comone thats freckin amazing. She said she dosnt like the sound of her voice back in 2015 or 2016. Screw these pop singers today they have nothing on AURORA she is a pure tallented musician, vocalist and song wrighter shes is breath taking. Im supprised she isnt extremely popular like 800m views. She sooooo underrate in the music industry. She is seriously somthing this would can learn a 2 or more things❤❤❤❤
Aurora's voice is more powerful than a geomagnetic storm, and she is mesmerizingly beautiful as well. My body feels old but my mind is very young because of people like Aurora. Tusen Takk!
Everyone listening in this day and age or 2020! This song isn't written by AURORA it's written by Noel Gallagher and performed by Oasis. AURORA has an amazing singer however and her cover is amazing.
Dear stranger reading this, When I was 10, my best friend sang this song at our talented show on the guitar. She was amazing but had to cancel. This was because she was setting up a leaving party for me. I then left her a few months later. Every second I think of her and we always speak over text. The only thing is that txting and seeing each other are completely different. I miss her so much and it feels like we are half the world away.
Every time she said, "half the world away" it just made me cry harder because when I was nine I moved half across the country from my best friend in the whole world.. I'm eleven now and..well I just still can't get over how much I miss her. She's always busy..I feel like I can never talk to her and I only get to see her in the summer for like two weeks... This song is just too sad for me..
same, I have move half the world to America, leave everything behind, but it was a great experience, and im still staying at America, another reason i adore this song!!
Alva Applepie things get better. I moved to America from Australia when I was young and left everything. you'll find new people and a new self within you and they'll do the same. they'll always be your childhood friend and hold a special home in your heart but there's better things in the future
Alva Applepie When I was 11 I moved 4000 miles away from my best friend, I'm 16 and let me just say, that eventually it gets better. I was in the same slump for a few years but it got better and this summer I'm actually going to visit her! (Yay) but I promise best friends don't ever stop being best friends. Especially from when you were kids.
I keep coming back to this song. I never even know this is a cover, she just owned this effortlessly. Aurora, thank you for your music, you saved me billion times. I love you! ❤
Written by Noel in the late 80's when he was feeling depressed and also hesitant about making it one day in the musical industry. 'Going down" is another song of Oasis that he wrote during that tough time of his life.

Genius the way she makes the tiny paper boat and sails it on a spilled puddle of water by blowing on it. Such breathtaking imagery, she really tells her story with her hands and her dance, and her videos in general
I love new takes like this on already great songs. It brings a feel and meaning to an already fantastic piece. She's taken this from an epic Britrock stadium belter to a piercing, intimate melody, fantastic!
Noel G sold the rights for the use of the song to John Lewis department store and as the new ' owner ' they were entitled to do whatever they wanted with the song and they chose not to credit Noel G , that's how business works.
My congratulations to Aurora Aksnes, your interpretation is outstanding, you always maintained the lyricism and poetry of the lyrics and you conveyed the feeling of the song well.
She looks so beautiful and pure
I know right? She's so pretty
she looks like they just broke the mold and she came out perfect and unflawed with a voice to match
+Curtis Taylor ^^👏
It looks like god forgot to give her flaws and she came perfect
+Curtis Taylor What a perfect description.
A cover like this, so different from the original song, proves the talent of both the songwriter -Noel Gallagher- and the performer. I love this. Aurora is amazing.
true !
Very true. I ADORE covers that totally change the style of a song but remain excellent in their own right. This is a great example.
Eliud Delgado aurora sung the real song..............
PotatoPal 4Life no oasis did they even posted the video first
Noel wrote the song :))) Oasis originally sang the song and Aurora covered it
I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island I'll book myself into a soul asylum
'Cause I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away,
You're half the world away
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I will live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
Here I go, I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away, you're half the world away
X2 ) you're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found but I don't feel down
I don't feel down

+remi blur Wow ! Brilliant choice of words!
+remi blur Hopefully a future big big star - niceness all around
shit compared to the original.
let her live and be a human being
+remi blur That's the autotune taking it into the uncanny valley that gives you those feelings.
"My body feels young but my mind is very old."
I wish I could still say that. Now that I'm in my forties, my body is starting to catch up.
You're cute!
When I was 20, I was going to tattoo those words. Today, about to turn 39, my body feels old, but my mind is very young

yess!
The video for Conquerer is coming... so I hear.
I'm a massive oasis fan and some covers are shite but this girl has got a beautiful voice and she does lovely version
Agreed. I am an oasis fan too. This is a one of a kind experience. -From Philippines
I found her 3 days ago, and now everything is look more beautifull than yesterday. I love her so much. She's weird but she is so beautifull, and amazing. How can i tell you guys what i felt.
I felt the same way when I discovered her through a forum 4-3 years ago. From then on I kinda just... "Aurora exists in my life now.My life sounds so much better."
This will sound kinda fake but I'fe fixed literal belly and headaches by listening to her music when trying to sleep. She's just *that* good.
@@valencat6063 ik there's something about her voice that not many of at all artists that have this unique voice and vocals as her and the most amazing thing is SHE NEVER WANTED TO BE A SINGER like comone thats freckin amazing. She said she dosnt like the sound of her voice back in 2015 or 2016. Screw these pop singers today they have nothing on AURORA she is a pure tallented musician, vocalist and song wrighter shes is breath taking. Im supprised she isnt extremely popular like 800m views. She sooooo underrate in the music industry. She is seriously somthing this would can learn a 2 or more things❤❤❤❤
Now i feel you
Aurora's voice is more powerful than a geomagnetic storm, and she is mesmerizingly beautiful as well. My body feels old but my mind is very young because of people like Aurora. Tusen Takk!
I was trying to search half the world away by one direction... and came across this, honestly I don't regret coming across this masterpiece too :)
You're literally scaring the shit outta me, dude. You're everywhere!
Uh hope you do check out Oasis’s one as it’s the original version!
@Michael H. and you have a terrifying personality :)
@Michael H. why you gotta be so mean T^T
Go listen to the superior original version of this song by Oasis
I love this song!! it almost makes me want to start to cry! I love how they put it on the John Lewis Christmas ad for 2015!! love it!
Everyone listening in this day and age or 2020! This song isn't written by AURORA it's written by Noel Gallagher and performed by Oasis. AURORA has an amazing singer however and her cover is amazing.
In a dark world I alwaysfind the light, you are that light Aurora 🤍
Dear stranger reading this,
When I was 10, my best friend sang this song at our talented show on the guitar. She was amazing but had to cancel. This was because she was setting up a leaving party for me. I then left her a few months later. Every second I think of her and we always speak over text. The only thing is that txting and seeing each other are completely different. I miss her so much and it feels like we are half the world away.
Aurora is the quarantine mood that we all need to keep our mental health steady. ☹️❤️
Her accent makes it sound loads prettier 😍
She literally has the voice of an angel wtf
Criminally underrated song from oasis, aurora really nailed it 🔥
Aurora so amazing
Every time she said, "half the world away" it just made me cry harder because when I was nine I moved half across the country from my best friend in the whole world.. I'm eleven now and..well I just still can't get over how much I miss her. She's always busy..I feel like I can never talk to her and I only get to see her in the summer for like two weeks... This song is just too sad for me..
same, I have move half the world to America, leave everything behind, but it was a great experience, and im still staying at America, another reason i adore this song!!
Alva Applepie things get better. I moved to America from Australia when I was young and left everything. you'll find new people and a new self within you and they'll do the same. they'll always be your childhood friend and hold a special home in your heart but there's better things in the future
Alva Applepie When I was 11 I moved 4000 miles away from my best friend, I'm 16 and let me just say, that eventually it gets better. I was in the same slump for a few years but it got better and this summer I'm actually going to visit her! (Yay) but I promise best friends don't ever stop being best friends. Especially from when you were kids.

AURORA LYRICS

"Half The World Away"
I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island
I book myself into a soul asylum
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I can leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it
And I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
I don't feel down

That's so relatable! Apart from the best friend bit. My dad passed away when I was 9. And when it says half the world away I just burst out in tears😢💔
Great lyrics of the best Noel Gallaghers moment. Genius.
I keep coming back to this song. I never even know this is a cover, she just owned this effortlessly. Aurora, thank you for your music, you saved me billion times. I love you! ❤
Its not her music, this a cover of oasis
I just can’t get over how Gorgeous she is
Exactly!
Yeah, she's beautiful, isn't she ?.. Inside & out...
This version of the song gives me chills. In a good way.
So happy people are now discovering you Aurora. Welcome new Warriors! This is beautiful ❤️
Long time Oasis fan. First time listening to Aurora. I am glad I can still come across with gems like these.
Written by Noel in the late 80's when he was feeling depressed and also hesitant about making it one day in the musical industry. 'Going down" is another song of Oasis that he wrote during that tough time of his life.
Pretty sure it was written in 94 when they were in America.
🎶I would like to leave this city
This old town don't smell too pretty and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And when I leave this island
I book myself into a soul asylum
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
And when I leave this planet
You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
And if I could leave this spirit
I'll find me a hole and I'll live in it and
I can feel the warning signs running around my mind
So here I go
I'm still scratching around in the same old hole
My body feels young but my mind is very old
So what do you say?
You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
You're half the world away
I've been lost, I've been found
But I don't feel down
I don't feel down
(I don't feel down) 🎶
Her gestures and movings make me feel so calmed!
What a lovely cover of this classic written by Noel Gallagher. Hats off, sounds brilliant! Aurora did a great job of her rendition!
This is one of those songs where it's so pretty your emotions can't handle it so you start tearing up.
rhiannon l. Yeees
Yup 😭😭
Genius the way she makes the tiny paper boat and sails it on a spilled puddle of water by blowing on it. Such breathtaking imagery, she really tells her story with her hands and her dance, and her videos in general
"...My body feels young but my mind is very old.." I love that part
Love this version of the song ❤
I love new takes like this on already great songs. It brings a feel and meaning to an already fantastic piece. She's taken this from an epic Britrock stadium belter to a piercing, intimate melody, fantastic!
Exactly!
Everything she touches turn into magic
original million times better tho
I don't think choosing a favorite song by her is even possible
Savannah Buxton whatever it is, it ain't this, u know, baring in mind that it's not her song
Louis.C I know that lol i just mean any songs that are originally hers are hard to choose from
Louis.C honestly I'm not sure why oasis wasn't credited for this cover
Noel G sold the rights for the use of the song to John Lewis department store and as the new ' owner ' they were entitled to do whatever they wanted with the song and they chose not to credit Noel G , that's how business works.
It's not possible to pick a favorite, the crazy part is she's only started on her career. Many years of great music.
I found her in my darkest time. I must treasure her with all the love I have 💛
ok, now I'm pretty sure that Aurora is not an human, but an angel, nobody can prove me wrong
FINALLY!!!!
I found her after I’d had a miscarriage and was putting myself in some shitty situations. Her music still helps to this day. ❤
i hope you're doing better and i wish you all the best
Not her music
@@jfluffydog2110 she’s singing. And this song may be a cover but she’s still singing and she has other songs
Sending you lots of love
This clipe is so amazing
All I can see is innocence like a child her voice is amazing she reminds me of an angel
My go to bed song every day
mine to
haha that's what I'm doing right now 😊
+LemonadePie wow I'm to
Winona Wu same ❤
beautiful.. like she's reading my mind and turning it into art
Abdellah Id Abdellah you mean Noel Gallagher is
My congratulations to Aurora Aksnes, your interpretation is outstanding, you always maintained the lyricism and poetry of the lyrics and you conveyed the feeling of the song well.
Hard to believe that this piece of perfection was created by a human.
+ＳＭＯҟＥ Yes.. and he's a british guy with fluffy eyebrows.
It's a cover on Oasis' song, but it's still a very good cover.
+Riko442 best comment ever
Noel Gallagher in fact
who else would it be created by
Beautiful! Just beautiful!
So true!!!
foc that
