AURORA is a self-taught piano player and singer. She is from norway, and is 27 soon 28 years old and she started making melodies when she was 6 years old . The words came when she was 9 or 11 years old. She made runaway when she was 11years old. She is a multi talent. She can paint, dance, and make meaningful music. The newer songs are very different from what we have seen of her, i recommend you to check out her older stuff first. She is in a new area, but she still sounds like her. You have to check out her live performances the music feels even better live because you see the art being made on the stage, and it will blow your mind everytime!! its a bit hard to give recommendations because all of her songs and live performances are beautiful but i recommend her cop26 concert she sings alot of her songs that is popular and its mostly acoustic. In that way, you also get to see her speak to the crowd and understand her as an artist and what she stands for. Aurora doesn't write about herself. She always says the music is bigger than her, and she has a longer vision about what music is and what it could do for us, it can make you dance, cry or be sad or happy. She have made a lot of songs and realised them many years after because she is realising them when she thinks the world needs it the most. Aurora is the most authentic person I think you will see in the music industry. She writes all of her songs mostly all alone. She produces them on her own terms and make her musicvideos too. Aurora herself is art. She is also very strict when it comes to her band and the people she works with she said, "I need people that don't look at the notes while playing." When she writes music, she has something to say. It has become more "political" she sings about the right to love, racism and the most important to her is mother earth as she call the world. She was mostly in the forest when she was a child all the time,alone, and she still loves it.. Her parents used a big cow bell to call her in to dinner. If you see cop26, you will understand it. When she was little, she didn't like to be with a lot of people, and she only got social media because she became an artist. She dont care about fame and has a totally other view on success than others. Us from Norway is obviously so proud of her and we think its fun thats so many can see her talent and help others to feel.she iis having a norwegian tour and people from 48 countries are coming to see her. She is just pure and so authentic. ❤
@@Dave-hb7lxi have not seen their video yet so that can be why I dont understand, sorry! but I have this messenge on copy so I can give some info that's important to understand Aurora or i at least hope it does😅
Oh yes. Dive into that rabbit hole and please stay there for a while. She is an amazing artist. One of a kind. Completely unique. 😁 Great reaction, love to see when reactors do some background research.
The true version of how Aurora was discovered is that a friend of hers bought her a session at what must have been a walk in studio and she made a CD ,maybe of a song called Puppet as a gift to her mother .Her mother was so impressed by what she heard that she told Aurora that she should share her songs with the world to hear. The song ,again maybe Puppet was released to the internet by a engineer at the studio without Aurora knowing or permission , this went viral and was heard by her now manager and was signed to a record deal. To this day Aurora does not know the name of the engineer but is very grateful to him now. This recording session is mentioned by her sisters in the short documentary Nothing is Eternal. Re -Lucky , Aurora says that she had the melody in her head aged about 9 and the words came to her later aged 15.
In the documentary "Once Aurora" it states it was the release was a school recording released on You Tube but i have watched an interview were she said it was and engineer at a recording studio and that she is grateful for that even though she has never him.
Aurora is autistic, It is not a disease to get a diagnosis within the autism spectrum. Often they are unique and exceptional people. Let them have their peculiarities. Let them have their imaginary friends. Cover everyone for dinner, and don't correct! A good example is the artist Aurora. The parents have supported her all the way, and have not corrected her. Now Aurora is a world star.
Amazing and spellbinding thanks Dave for giving us more from Aurora. There is nothing like the acoustics in those old churches. Very much an ethereal sound. Thanks NicknLex. 😍
Aurora's entire Nidarosdomen concert of 12 songs, of which only 3 are covers, is mesmerizing and perfect. Do yourself a favor and spend an hour and watch it. You'll be glad you did.
Her version of John Lennon's "Across the universe" is amazing. I'm sure it would have brought him to tears. "Through the Eyes of a Child" is also from this concert and will leave you mesmerized. I hope Lex got to hear the song's you played before. (Runaway & and It Happened Quiet) I found Aurora the same time I found Angelina. All thanks to RUclips's algorithms. All of these singers are the opposite of dance music. I find myself wanting to create zero body movement both externally and internally. I even hold my breath at times.......really!
There are 2 versions of "Across The Universe", make sure it is the one from channel TripleJ from May 2019. The other one is also beautiful of course, but that one is better in my opinion and many others opinions I have heard.
I've been a fan of your channel for years, and it's so awesome seeing this bright shining light return to your channel. Thanks to Dave for making it happen, as well as providing you with such great background information! 👍🤟 This entire concert is pure magic, from start to finish, not only Aurora's performance, but from everyone else involved, including all the other musicians and vocalists, as well as those responsible for recording it. I don't remember the songs you reacted to before, but "Through the Eyes of a Child" from this concert is one of her most popular, and for good reason. And from a couple years before this concert, "Murder Song" from the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize concert is one of the best performances I've ever seen, by anyone.
Welcome to the Queendom Lex. It’s always fun watching someone listen to Aurora the first time. There is so much to listen to! Perhaps you should listen to her newest release to see where she is now … Conflict of the Mind. Unlike any other singer I have listen to, Aurora always write interesting songs. Not too many girl meets boy songs (but do check out Exist for Love) but songs about the climate crisis or men’s inability to cry or domestic violence … or a million other things. Looking forward to following you on this journey. If you do some Aurora all the warriors and weirdos - as we are called - will subscribe :-)
Next up, Muder Song 54321 from the Nobel Peace Prize concert and Through The Eyes of a child from the same Nidarosdomen concert that you just watched. It's a deep well of amazing music!
And what i like you....Yepp. Yes you are right 9 years she wrote the music and the lyrics come when she was 11. What a start you have. This is for me the best performance ever been made and is my soul healing song, for ever. I subscribe you sure. Listen to her in the Aurora live VEVo exhale, Inhale that is so beautiful, raw, and horrible at the same time
I liked your reaction. And Aurora is just amazing Artist. So much emotions, beauty and meaning in her music. And about this particular performance it is masterpiece and the whole concert is like 1h of magic. I 'discovered' her on YT on one of reactions channels something between listening Rammstein, Florence, The Hu (dont know why I remember this thing what i listened when her music pop up ;) ). And I was so moved by her music (including voice and voice tone), emotions and expressiveness and loved the song that I checked another one, then another one and so on. And i loved every one :). And that is why she became my favorite artist up to now :).
I discovered her in a video where she was singing Helvegen with Wardruna. And I was like" wauw... little pale girl has a voice". Then I saw the video on the screen next to it. And it was titled Runaway. So I checked it out, to hear more about her. And Well.... Now I've seen ALL her videoclip, live performances, interviews, documentaries... I have her entire discography in my favorites on my Spotify. Aurora is simply AMAZING.
So very, very impressive. This song has a dark underlying motive. It deals with surviving mooddisorder that lead to selfdestructive behaviour. The moment she sings about is the realisation what has happened along the way and that she (or rather the subject in this song) has survived all the pain and turmoil. The whole concert is mesmerizing. My first encounter with Aurora was her single Running With The Wolves. A while later I was confronted with this concert and my fate was sealed. Since then she has produced so much music. A great side of hers is the urge to create other versions than the album recordings of her songs. These are always very surprisingly good (understated) and mostly recorded live. Her singing qualities and her overall musicality always shine through. I wish you the same journey I am making with whatever Aurora comes up with! ❤
I have known her music for about 3 years, but fell in love with it just last 2 years. But I basically have not listened to anything else than Aurora since than. Now I mix in a little bit of Kalandra and Pomme and London Grammar. :)
Depends! If you want to hear how experimental she can get, one of her most experimental tracks is "Wisdom Cries". Whereas if you want to stay on an easier-to-listen side, there is actually a lot that you could check out. One of my personal favourite is "Infections of a Different Kind". But there is really a lot.
Big AURORA fan and also Joni Mitchell! I grew up listening to Joni. Another person AURORA has inspired is Billie Eilish. Billie mentions AURORA's song 'Runaway' as inspiring her to want to be a performer. AURORA has been releasing new songs the last 2 months too. Probably new album soon. Thanks for your reaction.
Hi! First: great reaction! A tiny correction: it was the song "Puppet" that Aurora recorded as a christmas present to her parents. Not a big deal but 😊. Fun fact: the choir is a gay men only choir named Oslo Fagottkor. I have seen her live 5 times, number 6 and 7 in 42/43 days. She is real, funny, teasing, serious, higly intelligent, and then blows you away with performances that does not seem humanly possible.
For a totally different Aurora experience I recommend watching her full KEXP concert. It's not too long and shows off her more uptempo music and you get a glimpse into her personality too. ruclips.net/video/P_XguuxLo10/видео.html
Stephen at work! Dave! I'm Lucky to have this request! FYI my daughter is the same age as her and my daughter's middle name is AURORA! and my daughter has a sweet singing voice too but not like this young Norwegian phenom ! Thanks for sharing this !
she is best live. but her videos are art pieces as well. from this concert i would suggest 'winterbird' and i don't remember if you already did 'through the eyes of a child'. the whole performance is amazing but some of the songs are better from other venues or live studio performances. can't wait to see you both react to more of her work. and please do more krautrock.
You said Aurora looks innocent and while she does look it, she is far from it, as she has a down to Earth sense of humour and it something of a shock to hear hear swear. The Nidarosdomen concert is an artistic masterpiece in every respect. Aurora's other magical concert is the HAIK, which was filmed in the forest where she played in her childhood.
I hope Lex has watched your first reaction to Aurora now. This artist is wonderful in acoustic set up, well, as you saw today she's great in any set up live. It Happend Quiet, Runaway and Murder Song were a perfect way to discover her, as this one is too. This concert at Nidarosdomen is a wonder in itself, where all her songs are reinterpreted and reorchastrated. All that gives you a glimpse of the extent of her musical palette. As suggestions, maybe one MV, and two live performances, the last of them being an unreleased song: AURORA - The Seed: ruclips.net/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/видео.html Aurora - Under the Water (Live on the Honda Stage): ruclips.net/video/zVGQWw4Ap6o/видео.html AURORA - Animal Soul | Live on TV: ruclips.net/video/i3WK73eXK14/видео.html It's interesting to know that beyond her official discography, she has more than 50 unreleased songs, that you can find here on YT. To me, it sounds a bit like a joke, but it truly is not. Anyway, thanks for this great reaction to Aurora, this living and singing masterpiece!😀👍
Aurora and Eivor have both sung vocals on Wardruna's, Helvegen, but not together. I can't find anything about them performing together. I would love to hear it, as they are my favourite vocalists. Eivor is from the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark, but closer to Iceland and Scotland.
Ohhh, NOW it makes sense why her parents had never had any idea she was teaching herself to play the piano! Because it was an _electric_ one! Presumably played through headphones! 😀 So far, I'd always been wondering how it had been possible for it to slip past them that their daughter is a budding pianist, seeing they all lived under the same roof! 😆 And AURORA is amAzing! 🤩 I reckon she's actually channelling her Higher Self through her art 😍
@@Dave-hb7lx - Very cool! Thank you for the info, Dave! 😀👍 'Churchyard' from the KEXP performance had been my very first AURORA impression, after a friend had sent me the link in late 2019, which then made me check out loads of her live concerts, which I've always preferred to her studio recordings 🙂
Lucky was not a gift to her Mother it was more likely to have be a song called Puppet (its on RUclips) Aurora had the tune for Lucky in her head with no lyrics at the age of 9 , she wrote the words at 15 yrs old See my previous post .
Try Aurora 'It Happend Quiet' Live at The Current. I promise your eyes will drown in Water. Same with 'Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Price Concert.
New great fan of yours. I gree up in the 70s and 80s . I watched pink floyd live in 88. Grew up a big prog lover. Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion, Alan Parsons etc. Now into porcupine tree, steven Wilson. Guys you have got to check out rpwl- a German prog rock group. Formally a pink floyd tribute in the 90s, then started writing there own stuff from 2000, they are of a continuation sound of floyd. They have their own studio and produce music for other bands. You have got to give them a listen.
During the last few minutes of the song, there is great sadness in her voice and eyes, and at the end, I detected more sadness and then she ended it quietly as she tilted her head her beautiful eyes opened wide. Does she even look like he is convinced that she is lucky to be alive? Think of the words, "I don't know who that I am or where I go, but I know what lies behind me. There's no sense in my mind but this I know that it's time to let go." What would you think it all means?
@celinel9750 writes from another reaction to this song..."This is her anti-suicide song, "before I make the offering" as I give up, I remember all the ppl I've seen and place that I've been... I FEEL the light", that is for me me the most powerful line, not only seeing the light but feeling the light, from inside, the spark that make you choose to stay." [end@celinel9750] ....the lyrics, "war inside my mind" (jump/ don't/jump) "is coming down" (don't jump!🙏) ...@jeffmalloy8200 writes: "The choir is called Oslo Fagottkor and is a Norwegian gay choir made up of 35-40 men." ...In another reaction, "Amanda", an actual suicide survivor, gives a chilling, first-hand reaction to this video at: ruclips.net/video/kD1Cjydi46s/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Peculiar how stories change… her sisters said they always knew that she had talent… Joni Michel is almost Norwegian…😉- I think both her parents originated from different parts of Norway - north and west ( Aurora is from the west coast) Just a bit fun fact from Bergen Norway
Tat's Aurora, different. She rearranged all the songs to use the acoustics of the Cathedral and the available instruments and choir. The result, a masterpiece concert. Stick to live as she sings in the moment.
I don't see or hear her as a Joni Mitchell . . . . She is something else, not Bjork, or Tori Amos or Kate Bush, she has a style all her own, and an "innocence". If it is a bit of Joni, _maybe_ her later years, but still, Aurora is very different than many out there. Maybe a more melancholic "Regina Spektor"? I don't know all of Aurora's music, but been meaning to do a deep dive. I had given you guys a playlist with the track "Take Me Home" a couple of years ago, which is very beautiful (and sad). - This was GORGEOUS :) Nice pick Dave. I'll need to find that Marathon, Nick.
@@Dave-hb7lx How funny, I was going to edit my comment before your reply and the "heart" from N&L. I had to "Hurry" out while I wrote the comment. The more I thought about it, her _style_ (the quirkiness) is a bit like Bjork, in songs like "Pagan Poetry". I actually don't know how popular she is after her few albums. I don't listen to the Radio, or any type of stations that would even play her music around the LA area. Kind of like "Dido", she was HUGE for her 1st 2 albums, and then she wasn't. Which gets me curious to hear her later (or newer) albums. And yeah, I've seen 1 short interview with her, as she is VERY child-like, yet she is "27". But it seems she knows what she wants sonically, and has interesting lyrical topics. And apologies to the fans, the track I had on a playlist I created was not called _Take Me Home_ but "Runaway" (probably thee song that brought her stardom in the U.S.).
She is a force of nature. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Please react to Aurora's All Is Soft Inside live! My favorite Aurora's song ever!
Thanks for sharing this find...I must hear moreaurora!
I love this artist. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

@@Josian-ps7fb Thanks you internet indeed. She is truly amazing.
You should watch her Nobel Peace concert from 2015 or so. Murder song 1,2,3,4 is mind boggling.
So very, very impressive. This song has a dark underlying motive. It deals with surviving mooddisorder that lead to selfdestructive behaviour. The moment she sings about is the realisation what has happened along the way and that she (or rather the subject in this song) has survived all the pain and turmoil.

Big AURORA fan and also Joni Mitchell! I grew up listening to Joni. Another person AURORA has inspired is Billie Eilish. Billie mentions AURORA's song 'Runaway' as inspiring her to want to be a performer. AURORA has been releasing new songs the last 2 months too. Probably new album soon. Thanks for your reaction.
The acoustics are good. The girl has magical powers though. There is no better personification of the word 'artist'.
Hi! First: great reaction! A tiny correction: it was the song "Puppet" that Aurora recorded as a christmas present to her parents. Not a big deal but 😊.
Fun fact: the choir is a gay men only choir named Oslo Fagottkor.
I have seen her live 5 times, number 6 and 7 in 42/43 days. She is real, funny, teasing, serious, higly intelligent, and then blows you away with performances that does not seem humanly possible.

It's interesting to know that beyond her official discography, she has more than 50 unreleased songs, that you can find here on YT. To me, it sounds a bit like a joke, but it truly is not.
Anyway, thanks for this great reaction to Aurora, this living and singing masterpiece!😀👍
Aurora and Eivor have both sung vocals on Wardruna's, Helvegen, but not together. I can't find anything about them performing together. I would love to hear it, as they are my favourite vocalists. Eivor is from the Faroe Islands, an autonomous territory of Denmark, but closer to Iceland and Scotland.
Thank you for listening all the way through🎉
you should watch her haik concert in her forest in norway
Ohhh, NOW it makes sense why her parents had never had any idea she was teaching herself to play the piano! Because it was an _electric_ one! Presumably played through headphones! 😀
So far, I'd always been wondering how it had been possible for it to slip past them that their daughter is a budding pianist, seeing they all lived under the same roof! 😆
And AURORA is amAzing! 🤩
I reckon she's actually channelling her Higher Self through her art 😍
@@Dave-hb7lx - Very cool! Thank you for the info, Dave! 😀👍 'Churchyard' from the KEXP performance had been my very first AURORA impression, after a friend had sent me the link in late 2019, which then made me check out loads of her live concerts, which I've always preferred to her studio recordings 🙂
...she found the broken electric piano in the attic and probably played it up there. 😮
@@satchmo4992 - Exactly! 😊 By the way, and off-topic, but Louis Armstrong (a.k.a. Satchmo) has been a repeating theme for me lately! 😀
Aurora and Angelina are awesome and amazing ❤️
Lucky was not a gift to her Mother it was more likely to have be a song called Puppet (its on RUclips) Aurora had the tune for Lucky in her head with no lyrics at the age of 9 , she wrote the words at 15 yrs old See my previous post .
true, she and eivor would make a lot of sense. but ...
maybe one day
see here soon in her hometown bergen ( Bos )
🎉
Try Aurora 'It Happend Quiet' Live at The Current. I promise your eyes will drown in Water. Same with 'Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Price Concert.
I still dream of seeing your reaction to Renaissance's song, "Things I don't understand", from the album Turn of the cards.
New great fan of yours.
I gree up in the 70s and 80s .
I watched pink floyd live in 88.
Grew up a big prog lover.
Pink Floyd, Genesis, Marillion, Alan Parsons etc. Now into porcupine tree, steven Wilson.
Guys you have got to check out rpwl- a German prog rock group.
Formally a pink floyd tribute in the 90s, then started writing there own stuff from 2000, they are of a continuation sound of floyd. They have their own studio and produce music for other bands.
You have got to give them a listen.
We will we have heard amazing things about them . I think we might even have a reaction on the channel. Thank you!! 🙏
This song may have been inspired by the book Veronica wants to die.
Aurora should be way more popular than TS in a just world
During the last few minutes of the song, there is great sadness in her voice and eyes, and at the end, I detected more sadness and then she ended it quietly as she tilted her head her beautiful eyes opened wide. Does she even look like he is convinced that she is lucky to be alive? Think of the words, "I don't know who that I am or where I go, but I know what lies behind me. There's no sense in my mind but this I know that it's time to let go." What would you think it all means?
👍😍😍❤️
She wrote it when she was 9😳
It was released in 2016, she was 20😊
😍👍
She’s like Bjork, Sinead, Joni, Tori, et al.
@celinel9750 writes from another reaction to this song..."This is her anti-suicide song, "before I make the offering" as I give up, I remember all the ppl I've seen and place that I've been... I FEEL the light", that
is for me me the most powerful line, not only seeing the light but feeling the light, from inside, the spark that make you choose to stay."
[end@celinel9750]
....the lyrics,
"war inside my mind" (jump/ don't/jump)
"is coming down" (don't jump!🙏)

Peculiar how stories change… her sisters said they always knew that she had talent…
Joni Michel is almost Norwegian…😉- I think both her parents originated from different parts of Norway - north and west ( Aurora is from the west coast)
Just a bit fun fact from Bergen Norway
B E A U T I F U L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tat's Aurora, different. She rearranged all the songs to use the acoustics of the Cathedral and the available instruments and choir. The result, a masterpiece concert. Stick to live as she sings in the moment.
Marley sighting 8:28
4:04 🥲😭
Thanks Dave. Enya vibes. Not the same, but reminds me more of Enya than Joni.
She has more complex melodies and music than Enya. And very diverse also.
Such a beautiful song about such a dark subject ...... suicide
Her live shows are better than her recordings.
Jehovah God created nature there is no substitute
Average voice, nothing special.
I don't see or hear her as a Joni Mitchell . . . .
She is something else, not Bjork, or Tori Amos or Kate Bush, she has a style all her own, and an "innocence". If it is a bit of Joni, _maybe_ her later years, but still, Aurora is very different than many out there. Maybe a more melancholic "Regina Spektor"? I don't know all of Aurora's music, but been meaning to do a deep dive.
I had given you guys a playlist with the track "Take Me Home" a couple of years ago, which is very beautiful (and sad).
- This was GORGEOUS :) Nice pick Dave. I'll need to find that Marathon, Nick.
@@Dave-hb7lx How funny, I was going to edit my comment before your reply and the "heart" from N&L. I had to "Hurry" out while I wrote the comment.
The more I thought about it, her _style_ (the quirkiness) is a bit like Bjork, in songs like "Pagan Poetry". I actually don't know how popular she is after her few albums. I don't listen to the Radio, or any type of stations that would even play her music around the LA area. Kind of like "Dido", she was HUGE for her 1st 2 albums, and then she wasn't. Which gets me curious to hear her later (or newer) albums.
And yeah, I've seen 1 short interview with her, as she is VERY child-like, yet she is "27". But it seems she knows what she wants sonically, and has interesting lyrical topics.
And apologies to the fans, the track I had on a playlist I created was not called _Take Me Home_ but "Runaway" (probably thee song that brought her stardom in the U.S.).
