I can tell, im a grown man of almost 46, and everytime i hear this song, i really cry tears from my eyes 😢. Im so blessed to have seen her live where she also perform this song. I was crying in the audience along with other grown crying people there... It was a honor she even talked to me as well after a gift from me just like to others in person. She has an amazing personality... She's an angel! I was waiting for Mike to cry...
I have had the wonderful experience of seeing aurora in concert,and trust me at the age of 64 I have seen many artists perform live,no one has come close to being as good as aurora,there were times in the concert when you could hear a pin drop as she held everyone there in the palm of her hand as she sang with such emotion,other times the crowd were singing along with her every word as she interacted with them.and then at times she would be so shy as if she really dose not know how good she is,she is indeed one of the most humble and genuine performers who dearly loves her fans,a wonderful human full of love,a special artist singer songwriter yes I would go as far as saying Aurora is a Genius,if there was one song for me that sums up this wonderful girl it's a song that she wrote about one of her best friends who sadly passed away in a car crash, the song is called Why.its the most emotional song I have ever heard trust me you will not stop crying its so moving.stay safe love from the UK 🍏❤️🍏❤️
This is a masterpiece within the masterpiece that the whole concer is itself, this very simple song holds a very powerful and emotional message...and it hits home to anyone that listens to it...haunting, mesmerizing, transporting, super emotional........I don't think anybody would be spared from feeling what she makes you feel.....her Love and Magic are real, she's the Best of the best....... you do some more Aurora........
Every performance in this concert is just sublime, but this song is something else. Her expressions and the way her voice breaks while she's singing, just takes it to another level. AURORA has never looked lovelier, so angelic.
She transports you ,for sure. Her voice and her lyrics go to the core of your soul. And you are so right, Ginger, she looks like an angel. You could do "It happened quiet" from the same concert. It's one of her very best performances ever, and one of her most beautiful songs. Then stop the video just as she looks over her shoulder in the end, and you have an Angel right there. Or if you want something very different - go for "The Seed" - the video. Both are epic performances, imo. Thanks for another great reaction, and welcome to Norway, sooner or later.
About the first million times I heard this song, all I could do was burst into tears. I can more or less hear it now without crying. Trying to sing along makes it harder. Watching a reaction where the reactor starts crying makes me tear up, too. And that venue - my lord!!
To me, there is an existential beauty and clarity to Aurora's music that emanates from within. She is like no other singer/songwriter on the scene today!
this is why we play and listen to music from ALL artists, lands and cultures........Aurora just reaches in and touches your heart.......the transition to an a capella perfomance at 3:28 is stunning and the ending crushes your soul.......a beautiful hymn to innocence.....
The whole concert is a Masterpiece. Imho. Also, watch versions of this song recorded in much smaller venues where the crowd is right in front of her, there is such reverence for this song that the fans are dead silent during her performances of this song.
Nice reaction again😊 I would like to recommend that you watch the HAIK documentary, it’s such a great way to get to know more about Aurora as a person. Then of course the entire magical HAIK concert! Stay safe 🇳🇴
The Nidaros cathedral completed a 2.9 million USD upgrade to the interior lighting earlier this year. Now we can see a lot more of the architecture inside. The old lights were installed back in the 60s.
A great reaction to this beautiful artist. This concert i Nidarosdomen is such a pleasure to watch and to listen to. Aurora is such a gift for all of us that need something more than the mainstream commercial crap.
Always love your Aurora reactions. She really makes you feel a flurry of emotions with her songs and performances does'nt she? Anyway I will be waiting for more Aurora reactions 😊 Hope you'll have a merry christmas, and a happy new year 🎄 cheers from Norway.
Your reactions to Aurora are beautiful and authentic. You bring back memories of my feelings as each of Aurora's songs were introduced to my life. Thank you very much.
Good reaction..A norwegian drummer,soundtechnician and engineer Erlend Bolstad wrote his masterdegree on acoustics and measured the acoustic "tail" in Nidarosdomen to be 8 seconds. (thats a VERY long tail).. Thumb up for you and this masterpiece of a live concert.
Yes! I knew you would love this! She also does an acoustic version which will also blow you away - (Live) - Stripped (Vevo UK LIFT). Any song from this concert is worth listening to. She is about 20 years old here (she's 24 now). Also you might want to check out The Seed or The River or Daydreamer. And once again I will recommend her cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars". She performs it at this concert in Nidarosdomen, but there is another version that she performs while accompanying herself on the piano. Both are excellent - maybe others can make suggestions as to which they prefer. One of the really cool things about Aurora is that she has almost total control on the arrangement and production of her songs, so you will often see her perform the same song in somewhat different ways. Reacting to 2 versions of the same song might be fun!
Thank you for doing this performance, it hits me in the heart and soul every time I listen to it (so does many of the other performances from this particular concert) - I really like 'It happened quiet' from the same concert, its another one that will pierce your heart with her stunning vocals. Look forward to hearing (And seeing! I loved watching your reaction to this one Ginger!) more of your reactions to Aurora. And if you like unique churches, make sure one of your stops in Norway is to an 'Stavkirke' (Stave Church I guess in English) they are stunning architecturally. According to Google there is 28 open to the public out of the original over 2000 that existed, but are stunning. And as much as I love the stained glass in Notre Dame, the church that blew me away for stained glass is Sainte-Chappele located just a few hundred meters from Notre Dame on the same island in Paris. I would imagine for a stained glass artist that church would be even more incredible.
If you visit Trondheim, then visiting Nidarosdomen is a must. It is a beautiful and impressive cathedral. It's actually because of Nidarosdomen that I learned about Aurora. It's not allowed to take pictures inside and so I googled after the visit for some good pictures and also got suggested a youtube link to the concert of Aurora. As addicted to music as I am, I clicked and the rest ist history. Just love that young lady, else being mostly a (symphonic-)metalhead. This year I had planned to attend the Olavsfest at Trondheim, with Aurora performing, just outside the Nidarosdomen. Because of Corona, this was not possible, the whole event got cancelled and for me, travelling to Norway wasn't possible anyway. If you plan to travel to Norway in 2021 and if you plan to be there on August 1 and if travel and events are possible, then plan to be in Trondheim, the cancelled Aurora show is now planned for that date. Aurora live is an experience. I can call myself lucky to have seen her live in my country in 2019.
She is just magical. It is the only word that comes to mind when listening to her. You guys are my go to channel for really beautiful music. Thanks again
The Nidaros Cathedral originated as a wooden chapel erected over the tomb of St. Olav, a viking king that later became the patron saint of Norway.The oldest remaining parts of the cathedral are around 850 years old. The tradition of concecrating the king, an ecclesiatical blessing for the king in the performance of his royal duties, is held in the Nidaros cathedral. It is regarded as a national shrine. Archeological excavation has shown that the Nidaros cathedral had stained glass windows in the middle ages. The current stained glass windows was made for the whole of the cathedral between 1908 and 1934, by the artist Gabriel Kielland. This is the most solemn of Auroras concerts, and although it showcases the beauty and depth of her voice and her lyrics, i prefer the more lively of her performances. I recommend the KEXP concert (2018) where her energy levels go through the roof.
I'm back, thank you very much for the great reaction. for me this concert is unique. ingenious. should you feel joy i would be very happy about another reaction from this concert. LITTLE BOY IN THE GRASS | LEGENDADO (Live in Nidarosdomen) for example. Either way, thanks again for the reaction.
I discovered AURORA back in October and I can't get enough. I then discovered your videos because of Aurora. Ginger, I've got to say, I love your reactions to Aurora's music because they mirror my own. Great content you two. Can't wait to see your next video. Take care
Great reaction (again)! If you love architecture and the glass, you are in for a treat at Nidarosdomen Cathedral! It was started building in 1070, but fires has damaged it several times, and "add on's", you will fine several periods of stunning architecture. I do not think 1 day will be enough 😀. If you can, do not come in july... Last week of May, or first in june are my favorite.
Some fun facts: There has been a church at the site of Nudarosdomen since construction started in 1070. It is the brurial church of King Olav the Great who was killed in a battle in 1030. Ir was more or less a ruin when reconstruction started in 1869 and ended in 1968 with the last statue installed in 1983! In other words, most of it is fairly new but built according to old knowlegde about the former church. It was at least in part one project of nationbuilding after the union between Denmark and Norway was dissolved in 1814. Now you probably got more information than you wanted!:-)
Lovelove your reaction!! I ALWAYS cry to this song ❤️ You should watch the whole consert. Its a beautiful cathredal so its worth a visit. You guys must tell when youre coming over, Im sure theres a lot of us that want to welcome you and show you around!🇳🇴😊💖
You are both my favourite people on RUclips. You are the most genuine and relatable beings on this planet. I absolutely love your honesty and no BS way of watching and and talking. You’re my tribe. I don’t know what else to say but thank you so so much for all of your awesome videos. Please keep them coming and more AURORA! Please. I have to admit this song pulled at my heart and soul. Especially having lost my Mum the only family I had in this world. Will be honest the tears started to flow. If you guys ever get to Australia 🇦🇺 you have a place to stay for sure. Love u guys 💜 peace 🦋
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost your mom, Andre. ❤️ I’m very grateful to hear we have been able to bring you some joy through that sadness. Sweet people like you are what make this worth doing. Stay strong, and you will be in my thoughts 🙏🏻 - G
@@MikeandGinger wow never in a million years would have thought you guys would reply to my message. Most RUclipsrs don’t take the time. Just goes to prove my point you’re both amazing people. Thank you Thank you for replying & for your kind words. Really love you both. Keep the awesome videos coming. They’re always the highlight to my day. Sending you & your family much love peace and blessing. Please stay safe during this crazy time we’re all going thru. Love heaps André 💜🌹⭐️🇦🇺🤗♥️
Ginger and Mike, you have seen Aurora break hearts, you need to see her in playful mood. Take a look at one of the live clips of "Conqueror" (from the Jimmy Fallon show or the Honda stage, her joyous dancing is a treat to see) and one of "Daydreamer" (from the HAIK concert 2019 in a beautiful forest with an audience of family, friends and fans). You will love her even more.
@@MikeandGinger Oh yes. There is one interview in a garden where she becomes enamoured with the clover, picks a piece and puts it in her hair while not losing focus on the questions or the interviewer. Watch the interview from a Norwegian chat show where she is with her two older sisters (Viktoria and Miranda) who make her clothes and do her make up because, she says, she doesn't like people touching her face, so she only trusts her sister Viktoria. Then there is the press conference before the Nobel Peace Prize concert, when she took a pine cone with her to help her focus and ease her nerves. She is endlessly fascinating.
I love 'Daydreamer', it has such a powerful message! 'Warrior' and 'the seed' are more upbeat songs as well, and they are awesome too. Conqueror is a song Aurora doesn't like very much because it was a song she did to attend the industry demand, so she called it 'the song that hurts' because she didn't like singing it :/
@@Lu_Lorero Aurora also says it is her happiest song. I wouldn't surmise that she doesn't like singing it because she has used it to close many of her shows where she can choose what she sings with no industry demands. Aurora is also smiling in every performance of "Conqueror" that I have seen and you can also see in these clips that she enjoys dancing while performing it.
@@John-gv2ug well, maybe now she has more freedom to choose the songs she will play on concerts, but from what I've seen it has not always been like that. But maybe you're right and that thing stayed in the past. I'm no expert, I'm just talking about what I saw on some of the videos about her/documentarys/whatever, and since then I personally don't like this song very much as well, but it's just me :)
There is also a stripped back Vevo version of this song which is a Capella and if anything its even more intense than this excellent performance. If you want a really good sob I recommend seeking it out.
@@MikeandGinger Not a problem with all the info :-) Well do you think you might come to the UK in summer of 2021?? Yea def let me know-I have been to the US many times over the years since a small kid in the 80's for holidays Like: Florida, Washington D.C, L.A, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Maryland, San Francisco, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, etc So when you do come to the UK, Where would you like to visit??
@@mikekaraoke we are actually in Canada. I think it unlikely we will make it to the UK in the next couple years. But when we do, we’d both like to see Wales, and some of the area south of the Bristol Channel. We like the countryside. - G
@@MikeandGinger I was actually goingto say Canada, But didn't want to say that in case I got it wrong-So I put down places in US I had been too. I should of asked lol I have been to many parts of Canada as well like: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Hamilton, Well even though won't be for a very long time, Something to look forward too :-) Ahhh yes Wales the land of sheep lol Bristol is nice as well I'm the county of Kent, Home of of some well known people like: Kate Bush, Mick Jagger + Keith Richards from- TheRolling Stones etc Also there is a lot of countryside in the county of Kent As your from Canada, Sure you remember it but did you ever go on: Tour of the Universe the space shuttle simulation ride in the 80's-Located at the CN Tower: ruclips.net/video/MG9fn7ex8zE/видео.html
Great reaction. I’m loving your channel. You should listen to her performance of Black Water Lillies from the Honda Stage. She hits and holds a note at the end of the song that doesn’t even seem possible
dont know anything about the history of Nidos or who has been there, but would like asking a guide (or someone) "where is it AuRoRa stood when singing'. not a traveling person, but Norway would be wonderful! love your reactions. thx guys!
As for how "real" this was, Aurora had a performance in a cathedral in Germany where she sang her hauntingly beautiful verson of "Nature Boy" and she sang accapella, no instruments or backing vocals AND no microphone!!! She just wandered down the aisle while singing. It was just... well, you can imagine. And Aurora never, ever uses electronics to enhance her voice. Like auto-tune or some such bullshit. She is as real as they come. Oh fyi, she doesnt look like an angel, she is an angel. :)
@@MikeandGinger You guys have just scratched the surface of this multi talented fairy. And, I have to tell you, that I get almost as much pleasure of watching her interviews as her performance on stage. A little sample: ruclips.net/video/NeT3c1HbDX8/видео.html
Nidarosdomen is a gothic cathedral, and like all churches built like this, they have amazing acoustics. I know-I have sung in some of them myself. The beautiful sound of when she sings is 100% from the cathedrals own acoustics, and is not 'manmaid' on a sound mixing board.
Here is the new song including the original musicvideo from Aurora for the Norwegian advent callender TV series: ruclips.net/video/4QjHpi9hYWE/видео.html The song is in her native language, Norwegian. "Star Dust" is about Jo, a boy of nine years, who experiences that his parents are going to divorce. He has to move with his mother and siblings to a new place, and experiences a difficult beginning in the Christmas month. Jo is very interested in the stars and the universe, he loves hockey and is captain of his team. Jo's father, Steinar, is an astronomer, and together they often look up at the starry sky. Jo learns that Nordstjerna ( North Star ) is the guiding star he can always follow. Jo is described as sensitive, but instead of talking about what is difficult, he escapes, gets tough and hard, and pushes people away. When he misses his father, and when things get difficult in the new place, he finds Nordstjerna again. But suddenly Jo discovers that the star goes out. Shortly afterwards, Jo finds a girl named Elly in the attic. She is described as strong, fearless and with a well-developed competitive instinct. Elly comes from a fairytale people called the "Star People" in the North. It is as far north in the world as it is possible to get, just below Nordstjerna. Elly is the star child, the one who gives power and light to the North Star. She has magical powers that allow her to control snow and ice, and she does not feel cold. Elly can not get home again until Nordstjerna lights up, and she needs help from Jo. Jo and Elly have different skills, challenges and longings. Elly gives Jo the courage to cope with all the new things that are happening in his life
👍Whooh! First time I heard someone pronounced Nidaros correctly.- and you know your things here. And Aurora is a avatar and our treasure 🙏❤️💕🇳🇴. Please reach to more Aurora 🙏🙏🙏- and if you want to hear another great Norwegian artist- listen to Susanne Sundfør: When the Lord ( film music Portray of a dead photographer) or Uncover. Promise you a very strong heart connection ❤️❤️❤️ Mary Cristmas from Norway.
Please see the stripped Vevo UK version of this song where she sings it in acapella without instruments. It is even more beautiful. It hurts watching that version it is so beautiful. So for your own sake see it!!! Be safe Björn
Ooh! That’s so cool. Yes, I have been doing glass for years. I have shared some of my work in the past, in this video... ruclips.net/video/JqUn4r66fR0/видео.html
@@MikeandGinger Wow your work is wonderful!Yes my mom and dad started the association but sadly passed away in 2010 and 2013.I took over and it is still going strong.I worked in a stained glass shop after high school for years and built stained glass windows for churches and restaurants but haven't built a window in years. By the way I just discovered Aurora this past week and love her music!She is so unique which I love in artists.
@@rx7dude2006 I absolutely agree! Fire over a link to your calendar, if you have one. I have yet to make any lamps, but I’ve had a plan on my list for a couple years.
Still so much of Aurora to explore... Can I recommend It Happened Quiet live at HAIK concert? - ruclips.net/video/SkI4bCyF92M/видео.html (similar sweet flavour) But for a different flavour Churchyard live at KEXP Iceland - ruclips.net/video/nJLuG8c11Gk/видео.html Both these full concerts are amazing if you want to knock off a few of her songs at once. Remember she also writes and co-produces all her own songs since she was a teenager. She is now 25.
For another side of Aurora i would recommend the HAIK concert, and especially the song The seed. Anfry Aurora is just as impactful, if not even more so
Maybe it's time for you to react to some of the darker sides of Norwegian music? It would bring me joy to listen to Gorgoroth, Beauty, and Prosperity, live at Wacken 2008 with you.

When she stops singing you wake up as if from a trance. Even she sometimes awakens from her own trance at the end of a song she's just sung. Magic
Its okay to cry, she is veeeery special gift for this world :)
I cry every single time I listen to it
I can tell, im a grown man of almost 46, and everytime i hear this song, i really cry tears from my eyes 😢. Im so blessed to have seen her live where she also perform this song.

"Please don't leave me here" gets me everytime man
I'm 62 and Aurora's voice brings me to tears every time..... Beautiful

Quite possibly the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
For a real AURORA tearjerker, watch "Why Did You Have To Go". You will definitely need a handkerchief for this one!
So much Love for AURORA! ❤️
I cry almost every single time it is a truly beautiful song
Always love your Aurora reactions. She really makes you feel a flurry of emotions with her songs and performances does'nt she? Anyway I will be waiting for more Aurora reactions 😊 Hope you'll have a merry christmas, and a happy new year 🎄 cheers from Norway.
Thank you! Merry Christmas to you as well! - G ❤️
Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever......
Don’t worry this catches me out every time too 😭🤣
A cathedral is where she recorded the voice over as the North wind for Frozen II. There's a brief video clip of her rehearsal on her site.
That was in a different cathedral. This one is also a museum (Like Notre Dame) And would not likely be available for studio recordings
Your reactions to Aurora are beautiful and authentic. You bring back memories of my feelings as each of Aurora's songs were introduced to my life. Thank you very much.

Thank you for all of that ❤️🙏🏻 Now I *really* want to see it! - G
Exactly! The KEXP performance is super special for its own reasons.
Your right, she is an old old soul gifting herself to us
"It happened quiet"....my favorite...(Nidaros dome)🇸🇪

Some fun facts: There has been a church at the site of Nudarosdomen since construction started in 1070. It is the brurial church of King Olav the Great who was killed in a battle in 1030. Ir was more or less a ruin when reconstruction started in 1869 and ended in 1968 with the last statue installed in 1983! In other words, most of it is fairly new but built according to old knowlegde about the former church. It was at least in part one project of nationbuilding after the union between Denmark and Norway was dissolved in 1814. Now you probably got more information than you wanted!:-)
It’s fabulous. Thank you 😊 - G
Thank you, thank you for sharing the magical emotional experience this stunning performance evokes - it is such a powerful song! Take care.
Just try to imagine being there and hearing that! That would be an out of body experience.
Indeed - G
6:36 to complete your sentence: "resonates with your heart".
Lovelove your reaction!! I ALWAYS cry to this song ❤️ You should watch the whole consert.
Its a beautiful cathredal so its worth a visit. You guys must tell when youre coming over, Im sure theres a lot of us that want to welcome you and show you around!🇳🇴😊💖
You are both my favourite people on RUclips. You are the most genuine and relatable beings on this planet. I absolutely love your honesty and no BS way of watching and and talking. You’re my tribe. I don’t know what else to say but thank you so so much for all of your awesome videos. Please keep them coming and more AURORA! Please. I have to admit this song pulled at my heart and soul. Especially having lost my Mum the only family I had in this world. Will be honest the tears started to flow. If you guys ever get to Australia 🇦🇺 you have a place to stay for sure. Love u guys 💜 peace 🦋
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve lost your mom, Andre. ❤️ I’m very grateful to hear we have been able to bring you some joy through that sadness. Sweet people like you are what make this worth doing. Stay strong, and you will be in my thoughts 🙏🏻 - G
@@MikeandGinger wow never in a million years would have thought you guys would reply to my message. Most RUclipsrs don’t take the time. Just goes to prove my point you’re both amazing people. Thank you Thank you for replying & for your kind words. Really love you both. Keep the awesome videos coming. They’re always the highlight to my day. Sending you & your family much love peace and blessing. Please stay safe during this crazy time we’re all going thru. Love heaps André 💜🌹⭐️🇦🇺🤗♥️
I don't trust anyone who isn't moved by this.
you should watch the whole concert, or the Haik concert. Love to see full reactions to those
hi love your reaction and welcome to Norway! amacing pictures in the background you have!
I adore Aurora - she is angelic!😇
Only way into heaven; With a childlike soul
I shared a tear or two with you Ginger, Thanks!
Welcome to Trondheim! 🇳🇴
She's an Angel singing.
A masterpiece! Thanks for not talking through it!!!!
Don
Ginger and Mike, you have seen Aurora break hearts, you need to see her in playful mood. Take a look at one of the live clips of "Conqueror" (from the Jimmy Fallon show or the Honda stage, her joyous dancing is a treat to see) and one of "Daydreamer" (from the HAIK concert 2019 in a beautiful forest with an audience of family, friends and fans). You will love her even more.
Is it even possible to love her more?! 😉 - G
@@MikeandGinger Oh yes. There is one interview in a garden where she becomes enamoured with the clover, picks a piece and puts it in her hair while not losing focus on the questions or the interviewer. Watch the interview from a Norwegian chat show where she is with her two older sisters (Viktoria and Miranda) who make her clothes and do her make up because, she says, she doesn't like people touching her face, so she only trusts her sister Viktoria. Then there is the press conference before the Nobel Peace Prize concert, when she took a pine cone with her to help her focus and ease her nerves. She is endlessly fascinating.
I love 'Daydreamer', it has such a powerful message! 'Warrior' and 'the seed' are more upbeat songs as well, and they are awesome too. Conqueror is a song Aurora doesn't like very much because it was a song she did to attend the industry demand, so she called it 'the song that hurts' because she didn't like singing it :/
@@Lu_Lorero Aurora also says it is her happiest song. I wouldn't surmise that she doesn't like singing it because she has used it to close many of her shows where she can choose what she sings with no industry demands. Aurora is also smiling in every performance of "Conqueror" that I have seen and you can also see in these clips that she enjoys dancing while performing it.
@@John-gv2ug well, maybe now she has more freedom to choose the songs she will play on concerts, but from what I've seen it has not always been like that. But maybe you're right and that thing stayed in the past. I'm no expert, I'm just talking about what I saw on some of the videos about her/documentarys/whatever, and since then I personally don't like this song very much as well, but it's just me :)
Aurora !!! ♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Please do aurora it happened quiet live in this concert
This is a great concert I will watch it again late on Christmas Eve for that magical moment
There is also a stripped back Vevo version of this song which is a Capella and if anything its even more intense than this excellent performance. If you want a really good sob I recommend seeking it out.
i agree but i think poor Ginger would be a puddle by the time the song was done.
Another really good video guys, BTW I did reply to your A-ha-The Sun Always Shines on TV video around an hour ago :-)
I saw it! Thank you for all the info 😁 we’ve never been to the UK, but we can certainly let you know if we ever get to! - G
@@MikeandGinger Not a problem with all the info :-)
Well do you think you might come to the UK in summer of 2021??
Yea def let me know-I have been to the US many times over the years since a small kid in the 80's for holidays
Like: Florida, Washington D.C, L.A, New York, New Jersey, Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Maryland, San Francisco, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, etc
So when you do come to the UK, Where would you like to visit??
@@mikekaraoke we are actually in Canada. I think it unlikely we will make it to the UK in the next couple years. But when we do, we’d both like to see Wales, and some of the area south of the Bristol Channel. We like the countryside. - G
@@MikeandGinger I was actually goingto say Canada, But didn't want to say that in case I got it wrong-So I put down places in US I had been too. I should of asked lol
I have been to many parts of Canada as well like: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Hamilton,
Well even though won't be for a very long time, Something to look forward too :-)
Ahhh yes Wales the land of sheep lol
Bristol is nice as well
I'm the county of Kent, Home of of some well known people like: Kate Bush, Mick Jagger + Keith Richards from- TheRolling Stones etc
Also there is a lot of countryside in the county of Kent
As your from Canada, Sure you remember it but did you ever go on: Tour of the Universe the space shuttle simulation ride in the 80's-Located at the CN Tower: ruclips.net/video/MG9fn7ex8zE/видео.html
@@mikekaraoke yes, I did. We live about an hour away from Toronto - G
why did i suddenly tear up?😂
If you ever end up coming to Norway, I'd be happy to have you as guests and show you around Oslo and the lake Mjøsa area :)
That’s lovely! Thank you 😊 - G
Great reaction. I’m loving your channel. You should listen to her performance of Black Water Lillies from the Honda Stage. She hits and holds a note at the end of the song that doesn’t even seem possible
Ooh! We shall check it out 😊 - G
Amo tu reacción!! hermoso!!! Como Aurora nos enternece!!! 🤗😘😢
Omg i love your reaction!! You should react to the full HAIK concert from aurora or maybe a few songs from the concert.
dont know anything about the history of Nidos or who has been there, but would like asking a guide (or someone) "where is it AuRoRa stood when singing'. not a traveling person, but Norway would be wonderful! love your reactions. thx guys!
Beautiful reaction, always a pleasure to see you reactions. Maybe check out "AURORA Souless Creatures Live Bergan 2020".
That was a realy great reaction :)
Thanks!
You should check out her Christmas songs that she has released in the last couple of weeks!
Absolutely!!!
What do you mean by "makes her look like" .. She obviously is an Angel and Elf and Fairie!
As for how "real" this was, Aurora had a performance in a cathedral in Germany where she sang her hauntingly beautiful verson of "Nature Boy" and she sang accapella, no instruments or backing vocals AND no microphone!!! She just wandered down the aisle while singing. It was just... well, you can imagine. And Aurora never, ever uses electronics to enhance her voice. Like auto-tune or some such bullshit. She is as real as they come. Oh fyi, she doesnt look like an angel, she is an angel. :)
That is freaking amazing! I’ll have to look that one up - G
@@MikeandGinger You guys have just scratched the surface of this multi talented fairy. And, I have to tell you, that I get almost as much pleasure of watching her interviews as her performance on stage. A little sample: ruclips.net/video/NeT3c1HbDX8/видео.html
Nidarosdomen is a gothic cathedral, and like all churches built like this, they have amazing acoustics. I know-I have sung in some of them myself. The beautiful sound of when she sings is 100% from the cathedrals own acoustics, and is not 'manmaid' on a sound mixing board.
Here is the new song including the original musicvideo from Aurora for the Norwegian advent callender TV series: ruclips.net/video/4QjHpi9hYWE/видео.html The song is in her native language, Norwegian. "Star Dust" is about Jo, a boy of nine years, who experiences that his parents are going to divorce. He has to move with his mother and siblings to a new place, and experiences a difficult beginning in the Christmas month.
Jo is very interested in the stars and the universe, he loves hockey and is captain of his team. Jo's father, Steinar, is an astronomer, and together they often look up at the starry sky. Jo learns that Nordstjerna ( North Star ) is the guiding star he can always follow. Jo is described as sensitive, but instead of talking about what is difficult, he escapes, gets tough and hard, and pushes people away. When he misses his father, and when things get difficult in the new place, he finds Nordstjerna again. But suddenly Jo discovers that the star goes out.
Shortly afterwards, Jo finds a girl named Elly in the attic. She is described as strong, fearless and with a well-developed competitive instinct. Elly comes from a fairytale people called the "Star People" in the North. It is as far north in the world as it is possible to get, just below Nordstjerna. Elly is the star child, the one who gives power and light to the North Star. She has magical powers that allow her to control snow and ice, and she does not feel cold. Elly can not get home again until Nordstjerna lights up, and she needs help from Jo.
Jo and Elly have different skills, challenges and longings. Elly gives Jo the courage to cope with all the new things that are happening in his life
Ooh! That sounds like it would be amazing! We will definitely check it out- G
👍Whooh! First time I heard someone pronounced Nidaros correctly.- and you know your things here. And Aurora is a avatar and our treasure 🙏❤️💕🇳🇴. Please reach to more Aurora 🙏🙏🙏- and if you want to hear another great Norwegian artist- listen to Susanne Sundfør: When the Lord ( film music Portray of a dead photographer) or Uncover. Promise you a very strong heart connection ❤️❤️❤️ Mary Cristmas from Norway.
Thank you, Heidi! 🙏🏻 - G
Please see the stripped Vevo UK version of this song where she sings it in acapella without instruments. It is even more beautiful. It hurts watching that version it is so beautiful.
So for your own sake see it!!!
Be safe
Björn
Agreed, both versions of this song are incredible. Her vocals and the harmonies are spine tingling.
Didn't know you liked Stained Glass.I am the president of the Association of Stained Glass Lamp Artists and put out a lamp calendar every year.
Ooh! That’s so cool. Yes, I have been doing glass for years. I have shared some of my work in the past, in this video...
ruclips.net/video/JqUn4r66fR0/видео.html
@@MikeandGinger Wow your work is wonderful!Yes my mom and dad started the association but sadly passed away in 2010 and 2013.I took over and it is still going strong.I worked in a stained glass shop after high school for years and built stained glass windows for churches and restaurants but haven't built a window in years.
By the way I just discovered Aurora this past week and love her music!She is so unique which I love in artists.
@@rx7dude2006 I absolutely agree!
Fire over a link to your calendar, if you have one. I have yet to make any lamps, but I’ve had a plan on my list for a couple years.
Still so much of Aurora to explore...
Can I recommend It Happened Quiet live at HAIK concert? - ruclips.net/video/SkI4bCyF92M/видео.html (similar sweet flavour)
But for a different flavour Churchyard live at KEXP Iceland - ruclips.net/video/nJLuG8c11Gk/видео.html
Both these full concerts are amazing if you want to knock off a few of her songs at once. Remember she also writes and co-produces all her own songs since she was a teenager. She is now 25.
Aurora Is going to do another concert at nidarosdomen next year, Idk If there are tickets still, but maybe you guys could go 👀✨
That would be fabulous! But I don’t think our trip to Norway is in the cards next year - G
Not inside Nidarosdomen but in the courtyard of Nidarsdomen.
For another side of Aurora i would recommend the HAIK concert, and especially the song The seed. Anfry Aurora is just as impactful, if not even more so
Hard to believe that’s even possible 😅 - G
Nidarosdomen over 1000ys old...
Nidarosdomen can now be seen in a new (LED) light - facebook.com/trondheimby/videos/nidarosdomen-i-nytt-lys/2474082709565395/
Aurora is the name of an archangel. (yes, its true!)
as beautiful as this is and its extremely beautiful i prefer the stripped vevo uk version is a lot better. Its a capella, there are no words.
Wardruna, Helvegen, with Aurora. Have you checked it out?
Yes! We loved that one!

Vietnam Vet brought to tears
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
only love for aurora
Maybe it's time for you to react to some of the darker sides of Norwegian music? It would bring me joy to listen to Gorgoroth, Beauty, and Prosperity, live at Wacken 2008 with you.
We can definitely check it out- G
