Definitely rewatch the original without interruptions
• AURORA - MURDER SONG (...
Aurora loses herself in her music. You often see her have to physically bring herself back from wherever she went. Seen her live. She talked/joked with the audience between songs. Fascinating entertainer. Hope you react to more of her.
May I ask where she performed and when you seen her live? (Not that it matters, I'm just curious)
Saw her in Washington DC at the Lincoln Theater. 100 year old theater with a 1200 person capacity. Absolutely beautiful architecture inside. Forget exactly when it was , been a couple years at least. I can't remember what happened yesterday.
Yes! I saw her live too (28 yrs after I stopped going to concerts bc I figured out ppl don't sound good live ). However, Aurora IS just as good live, even dancing around the stage. My daughter's and I met her after the show bc even though security told us she was gone (the bus was there and we saw Magnus and Frederick go in and out of the bus and I was following the uS tour so I knew she met fans after if we waited long enough and she was taking group photos each stop). She is just as sweet, genuine, caring and lovely in person!!
Me too, in the UK, Newcastle 2 years ago. The off the cuff comments are wonderful but my chance encounter with her that morning was mind changing. Ten minutes of her time, what a special person.
Imagine what the audience felt during and after seeing this particular performance and never having heard of Aurora. It must have been amazing for them.
particularmente eu já ouvia musicas dela, mas a primeira vez que ouvi essa ainda fiquei surpreendida! alugou um triplex na minha cabeça!
Her performance of “It Happened Quiet” live at the Current. It’s one of her best ever in my opinion.
I do not know her meaning behind the lyrics of the song but most people interpret them to represent a very traumatic experience. During the performance, she appears to drift into an unpleasant memory. As some people who’ve experienced trauma do.
It Happened Quiet is from her second album which I loved but I still think her first album is a masterpiece and also one of her darkest.
Please consider checking out this specific performance if you haven’t already.
It Happened Quiet is really dark...I've heard it's about an abusive relationship, where a person kills their lover and their lover's ghost comes back to haunt them (the lyrics are from the perspective of the killed lover)
I second this
@@keithy_is_tiredit can be seen over a multitude of things, so many are correct but so many can be right
Yeah probably my favourite
oh boy, I've just posted a comment with a link to the same song!
It's an ethereal, totally controlled, virtuous performance.
Love it.
she made this song after reading an article about a man who killed his partner because she had acquired a terminal illness. The most incredible thing is that she wasn't acting! Because, this was her first performance in front of a large audience (if I'm not mistaken) and she was really nervous and apprehensive!
Pretty sure that was never confirmed. She never said that’s why she wrote it
No I think it's about an abusive relationship and the follow up to this song is "it happend quite"
@@chrisspellman8545 please see the comment in which I respond to someone who responded to my same comment. It's Aurora's own version
I heard this song was about a dog, but she took this and turn out in a human behaver.
@@Boggbo it's not quite like that. Read my comment by replying to "seochangbinsarms" and you will understand
This was written in respect of a man who helped his wife die who was suffering with a long illness and is from a true stroy.
She has said that the characters in this aren't based on anyone real, but she pictures them and becomes them when performing. "There is a window in my heart that is difficult to close. Therefore, many sad feelings and experiences, even if they aren't mine, are very close to me. My songs help me get those out of my body."
She is a vocal magician..
She has brought me to tears on many occasions ..
According to an interview, Aurora saw an article about a man who had euthanized his ill wife and his motives and situation deeply affected her. She says that this song, at its core, is a love song. Much like her song "It Happened Quiet" (a song hinting at domestic abuse, her live version at the Current is lovely), Aurora isn't afraid to show all aspects of love: the joyful, the spiritual, the painful, the violent and the ugly- she lays bare all the many ways it can manifest.
Also mind you, Aurora is only 19 in this video. People often liken her to a fairy: otherwordly, captivating, but able to convey a breadth of emotion that goes well beyond her physical years. Her concert in the Nidarosdomen cathedral is a fitting setting for her angelic voice, and is a wonderful celebration of finding spirituality in human emotion.
I love watching your videos for both your technical commentary and how invested you become as you watch! Its a joy to see your reactions, I look forward to learning more!
I'd definitely recommend her newest single "Your Blood" if you really want to hear Aurora play with her voice. Her singing style has changed a lot as she has gotten older, and she has been experimenting with stronger vocals and using her chest voice. Aurora doesn't usually belt out notes, but she's perfectly capable, and she shows it off in her newest song. I'd also recommend "Under Stars" live at Nidarosdomen if you want to hear some of her beautiful slides, and note bending. It's one of my favorites.
Jesus. Never heard of her before. But this just gave me 11 minutes of chills 😂🎉
She is an artist on so many levels it's almost impossible. If you want to get to know Aurora I really recommend watching "once aurora" if not for RUclips, for yourself. You will be mindblown I PROMISE you!
She is the masterpiece, genuinely conveying her vocal emotions to perfection, making us feel them in our entire being, to the depths of our soul. It's far beyond the music itself, as you said.
What a wonderful performance with Odd Martin Skålnes.
Thanks for reacting to Aurora, this awesome musical jewel with gushing emotions.🙂👍
"... a masterpiece ..."

@@Striderspawn I confess: in Aurora I trust...😇
@Josian-ps7fb As do I. But I'm not afraid to offer a personal opinion and critique her evolution as an artist.
I've led 100's to her. 100's. She just beginning to sound homogenized with her recent releases.
There are threaded debates if she's using autotune now. I love her to death as an artist.
And as I said. It's her art, her choice.
@@Striderspawn I agree with you. But fundamentally, I'm metal (with other variations), so I don't necessarily love each and every choices she made in her albums. But her live performances are just crazy good to me. To be honest, I almost only listen to her live performances (and her various reinterpratations, like her acoustic ones for exemple). For me, her albums are the step before these live performances, it's like some kind of maturation which would be essential, a part of the whole process (her art and her choices, then, indeed).
And like you I can't say her last studio releases are those that I like the most. But by saying that, we express our own tastes before all. No harm, then.🙂
@Josian-ps7fb Agreed. Ironically Aurora loves metal. I'm hoping she has Pink Floyd tendencies and shifts styles through her musical journey.
The "industry" has a tendency to push artists to a central sweet-spot, at least by their standards.
That's why it's important to honestly react and share our thoughts on her musical shifts.
We're the counterbalance to the industrial tendencies of the music business.
And yes, live is where she flourishes.
I recommend Aurora‘s "all is soft inside" live from KEXP concert, I think you would really enjoy that one
That performance is one of my favorites
This is the first song I've heard of Aurora. Fell in love instantly!
Yea. She is really unique artist and a person. I love her music. And she is not like musically trained, she started to do it just as a child (from 6, and English lyrics from 9) all by herself to express emotions.
I personally didn’t mind all the technical talk because I never got the impression you weren’t feeling it or weren’t appreciating her because of it. I do love that you took this one in though. Just don’t want you to be discouraged from talking about all you know because that’s a big part why I watch- although I agree Aurora is a magical experience to be experienced and not analyzed- there’s a certain beauty to the technical side too. Much love ❤
Aurora IS her music, she does not sing, she opens up so we hear her heart and soul!
Please check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen concert or it happened quiet at live at the current.
Soulless Creatures, It Happened Quiet, or Black Water Lilies next please!
Also as a fun fact: she has no classical or musical training, she is an entirely self-taught pianist and singer.
You should know that this was one of her first serious concerts , may have been the first with this size of audience. She sings 3 songs (i think) at this the Nobel Peace Prize concert 2015. Aurora wasnt aware of how much she moves about until someone showed her a video .
Been a huge fan of Aurora for years. She has such a beautiful pristine voice. Her cover of Life on Mars is unbelievably good.
WATCH HER VIDEO WITH HAIK IN A FOREST THE SONG IS "THE SEED"
So glad you chose this one to do next. It was the performance that hooked me on Aurora, and I still consider it one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. I really enjoyed your analysis, and I like your comparison to method acting, where she just completely loses herself in the character. At this point in her career, she had a bit of stage fright, and admitted more than once that she was very nervous at this performance. I think her losing herself in the character also helped her deal with her anxiety. You can see her almost coming back to reality at the end of the performance (also after Runaway), as if she forgot where she was.
I think it would be awesome to see you react to another side of Aurora, one full of fun and energy, with a bit more confidence (though still not to where she is today). "All is Soft Inside" at KEXP Iceland 2018 is a fan favorite, and it really shows off a completely different side of Aurora.
Love your Analys on this song.And when she shings that he cried i call it her crying note because they are so filled with emotion and empath.
Wow, very insightful analysis. Especially the multilayered perspectives and 'method acting' was very illuminating.
Was the second song I heard of hers and, upon hearing it, I booked a cross country flight to New York City to see her in person (so fortunate she was doing a small tour here at the time). It’s a perfect performance, every last breath. By far my favorite modern artist.
Always love your analyses. Re your Runaway reaction, it's a story as old as social media... 154 positive comments and you were caught by the two that criticized you for pausing too much.🤔 There were more comments explicitly praising the deep dive nature of your reaction! I was charmed when you kept stopping - "OMG did you hear that?!" Aurora is magic!
I've just been watching, Aurora's Little Boy in the Grass, the Mahogany Session, and it is the most extraordinary total involvement in a song, and this is supposed to involve a personal element for Aurora. As she has actually said it was about the Utoya Island Massacre of 69 young people, and she says someone very close to her was killed there. It is one of if not the most poignant live performances I've ever heard. The sound recording is exceptional, and it was performed in a rowing boat, with the same guitarist, O.Martin.
Aurora is art in a human form. That’s what I think when I see her 💜
So awesome to see and hear your genuine reactions and analysis of Aurora. My favorite singing coach meets my favorite singer. I've been waiting for this moment...
She really is a pure spirit with unimaginable creative depth and an otherworldly voice. This performance and the previous one you did are from a while back. She's been doing nothing but cranking out amazing music and performances since. I was blessed to see her live in 2022 and she's every bit as powerful connecting with the crowd through her between song banter as she is with her music.
Another older one, but the whole Nidarosdomen concert is an absolute treasure. That's the first thing I came across and I was never the same.
Incredible, im in tears
Her voice is fantastic! It always give me goosebumps when I hear. So lovely and powerful
Great analysis and reaction, yes, she is the music and lyrics, her performances are captivating, she is my all time favorite multi talented artist, she is the total package.
I’m more a metal/hard rock guy, but Aurora is such a unique performer and has such a beautiful voice I can’t help but listen to her music. This is one of the most beautifully depressing songs I’ve ever heard.
YOU SHOULD ANALYSE "THE SEED" BUT THE VERSION FOR NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DAY OF EARTH SPECIAL...IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER PERFORMED
Well the only one who can get away with singing about murder at Nobel Peace Prize is Aurora =)
I really enjoyed this reaction 😊
Aurora is the most captivating artist out there imo
And she doesn’t write typically mainstream songs, she’s so unique 💞
This and eyes of a child are my favorite..just so hauntingly beautiful.
Amazing video! Often use your videos to fall asleep because your voice is really calming. Depends on what kind of analysis video, obviously in a metal video I'm wide awake but that doesn't matter 😂 Keep doing what you're doing Chris! :D
This is one of my favorite performances of all time. Haunting.
Great reaction❤ I would love to watch your reaction to "little boy in the grass - mahogany session" and "why did you have to go".
The first song is about her friend shot in the Utøya massacre and the second about a friend who died in a car accident - played at the funeral. Both songs are obviously very very sad...
This! Yes! It’s one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful things I’ve heard from her and that’s saying a hell of a lot, all things considered.
Good to see you reacting to Auroura. Her total emotional embodiment of the character(s) in the song is amazing and makes her stories so compelling and her voice transcendent..
True artist ❤ Aurora
phenomenal artist
Cool 😊. Definitely a favorite, and she has a lot of great stuff by now. She didn't enjoy performing early on, and was terrified during this one. Many of my favorites of her are just with a guitar or piano, and maybe with someone on harmonies. Odd Martin was a previous producer, sometimes co-writer and a member of her band. There are a lot of great performances with just the two of them, like for instance The NPR Tiny Desk.
those harmonies in this performance is out of body experience.
keep reacting to aurora! i love what you have to say about her
Immersion is the key. I just love your insight regarding this and your focus on dynamics and breath. Aurora is a gem, hardly human. Keep diving into the rabbit hole.
YEEEES Aurora is the embodyment of life essence and energy
Thank you very much for your reaction to this song. I love your* analysis and deep discussion of technique, sorry it sounds like you ended up with some pushback?
One balance I've seen used is an initial run through of the song to get the vibe and emotion of it, taking notes if needed, and then come back for a deep dive. Whatever works for you, bro. I'm here for insight
OH i am so happy you did this song!
If you want some other things from her, more "louder" there is Animal, Blood in the Wine, Cure For Me, and Soft Universe. Completely different vibes from this and Runaway.
Can you imagine if Aurora and Ren did a song together? 😳🥰
You saying this was method acting is the best analysis of music I’ve ever heard. Bravo
Thanks for the great analysis of this song. I also recommend her other works!!
I also recommend you another singer, also from Scandinavia, specifically from Far Oer... Eivør Pálsdóttir and her live performance from 2013, "Trollabundin". You won't be disappointed
👍👍👍
I went down the Aurora rabbit hole a few years ago ..I’m so glad I did . Her music brings out emotions in me I didn’t know I had
Oh, man, you would LOVE Aurora's "It Happened Quiet"
She doesn't put on an act she becomes the song.
Wonderful reaction and analysis of Aurora. Because of your latest reaction of Runaway I felt back in love with this wonderful musician. If you plan to make another Aurora reaction, I truly think you should watch Exist for Love (live NRK P3 Radio Festival). The song itself is a different level of Aurora but the Vocal performance is incredible! Would love to see you analyze this song :)
In my humble opinion;
AURoRA emanates the sound and emotions she performes. A true ARTist and storyteller.
I've been in awe and love since first time I heard/saw her! 😍
PLZ Consider analysing/reactinc to CHURCHYARD live@KEXP
Have a wonderful weekend all o/
Greetings from Arctic Norway, Land of the midnight 🌞 and Aurora Borealis 💖✨✨✨✨🌟
Aurora doesn't sing or perform music, she IS music.
go for Through the eyes of a child live.. perfect production live show...
I love her spooky eyes.
The charismatic voice on her reaction said Aurora's brain is on a different level
I discovered Aurora before Ren, but to me they are so similar, not in musical style obviously but in their ability to totally immerse themselves in the music, and their outstanding lyrical skills. They both perform for the love of it and are totally devoted to musical expression. It Happened Quiet (The Current) is my favorite Aurora performance! I hope you do that one next 😊
Thank you for the amazing reaction. I highly recommend Aurora's cover of Life on Mars next😊
ruclips.net/video/kJ095S0MmnA/видео.htmlsi=6TvY12a9GJeT1ADL
You talk so passionately, I love that
you want somthing special, do Current live performance EXHALE INHALE or IT HAPPENED QUIET. Those are masterpieces both.
I subscribed. Your analysis is great!
She is just amazing. It's alot you should check out. Watch the uma cop26 concert❤
That's a good one.
@staffankarlsson1428 yes and some new songs.🥰
Yes. COP 26 concert is well worth watching. She has a problem with echo in her in-ear monitors and handles it wonderfully.
Facts!
Love to see a dual reaction of say Eyes of a Child and Your Blood (newest release) to get your insight into her evolution as an artist.
Not an ask, just a thought.
Beautiful analysis! Aurora is simply hypnotizing. You need to react to "It happened quiet (Live At The Current)". You won't regret it!
It always amaze me when pro voice try to ''break down'' Aurora. She don't care about technic, she sing from her soul, she convay a message full of emotion, that is it, but it's also all what singning is for me.
Really enjoyed your thoughts and reaction. I love vocal analysis but more from a perspective of how a style provokes different feelings versus right and wrong (altho sometimes that is important)
I love this ☺ my favorite of Aurora is with Pomme - Everything Matters
I'd love to see a movie or book based on this song, told maybe in the same way that Aurora is singing it
welcome to the world of AURORA! She is very talented and unique, I hope to see more reactions in the future!
incredible performance
MORE AURORA PLEASE! :3
the storytelling is amazing here and it's so tough. I think it's difficalt for first time analisese because of that. It hurts if you go deep into the story.
I heard some interview with Aurora and she told it music is kind of coping mechanism for her and her songs can be as a friend for someone. That's true.
In meinen 50 Lebensjahren gab es keine Sängerin die mich jedesmal so sehr berührt hat wie Aurora. Ich habe dieses Lied schon x mal gehört und bekomme immernoch feuchte Augen. Sie ist nicht von dieser Welt. Wundervoll. Gruß aus Schleswig-Holstein.
I've heard rumblings that she thought about what an Animal would feel if it's owner had to put it down. Fighting through the tears, killing them for mercy. I don't know if that is entirely true, but the way she sings with such emotion I can see it! She goes to a completely different place when she sings. After Runaway you could see the moment she came back amidst the applause, she is completely encapsulated in her performances. I love it! She is just something other worldly
What more can be said about Aurora? Loved your reaction to this, brother. Gonna check out your catalogue. New sub. Greetings from Florida.
Welcome! Thanks for the sub!
@@chrisliepe After looking through your catalog, I see that you haven’t reacted to Angelina Jordan. This girl is a true artist. I would honestly love to hear your appraisal of her. She has a vast catalog of covers, and right now she has 13 originals that are accessible. I don’t want to hype her up to you. I would much rather get an unbiased opinion that hasn’t been influenced.
She has millions of fans, and is currently the number one priority of Republic Records.
If you would love to treat yourself, then I suggest checking out her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody on America’s Got Talent when she was 13.
ruclips.net/video/qF0JV28vgLw/видео.htmlsi=i_k6Sjk7ItWqw0Fc
Não entendo de música mas mesmo assim sinto grande emoção ao ouvir nem eu mesmo sei porque.
What you say is true. It is the reason the recorded tracks lack the immediacy of the live ones. She lives every song.
Great analysis on the method acting comparison! I hadn't thought about it that way. Also, you are quite entertaining sir! Your examples while mimicking techniques are very genuine, honest, and refreshing. Thank you!

You really need to hear "Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen)", not for reaction, just for yourself. Her voice in that church is the most beautiful sound i have heard in my live.
Aurora is great! You should check out Eivør, too! She can do crazy things with her voice!
Aurora is a Sprite ( Look into Européen myth), she drags you in, love you and make you better.
Ok ok I subbed. Please more Aurora!
1st 217 times its all about Aurora. Next 217 times it's all about Odd Martin 😁. This performance is very definitely BOTH of them. Amazing.
Thank you for sharing ❤
listen to it happened quiet from aurora (live at the current)
Don’t miss the male singers voice crying at 10:10. It’s so subtle.
First Aurora sing from the one bring murdered. Then her death is for mercy and the one killing her is to help her “from the thing that come”. There is empathy possibly love for the man killing her. All from her point of view. But there is a moment of fear, fear of death possibly of the violence.
Because it is from the murder victim’s point of view we know this action is wrong but somehow we empathize with the sorrow of the murderer. How does she do this?
I can only watch and listen as these. emotions are communicated. Truly amazing not just for poignant beauty this song but her performance. I think you are correct the male voice needed to be in this arrangement.
And this was shy 19 years old Aurora. Between this and Runaway I knew I had to follow music career and listen to her music. Keep diving down this musical rabbit 🐰 hole.
the seed is a very good song of AURORA's
11:00 I love how you can hear her focus to not say "the gone is gun" xD
awsome reaction!! cant wait for you to do the nidarosdomen ones and the "live at the current" one
You HAVE TO check out her live Through The Eyes Of A Child
