A beautiful song. It was originally written for an animated film called The Snowman around 1982/83. Originally sung by Peter Aulty. This version is beautiful but Aurora put her own spin on it. That was amazing as well. Nightwish also do a version of this back in the 90s
Its about a small boy who builds a Snowman which comes to life and it takes him on a journey flying with the boy on his back . In the Uk this is shown almost every Christmas
The harp and the violins in that song with the magic of Aurora’s voice and body motions is purely magical! That’s why I always call her the magical fairy princess!!
Just saw her last night in New York City. I’ve decided that one of the reasons I just love to watch her is how she sings with her full body and not just her voice. She is one of the most physical singers I have seen since Mick Jagger.
Honestly in all of my life no artist has moved and touched my emotions like Aurora,yes of course there are other good singers but for me this girl is special for me she captures the very essence of what the art of music should be,I don’t think I’ve ever heard a bad song, even covers that she sings she makes them her own as for her own songs every time she delivers lyrics that make you think deeply about life and the world we live in.yes we are truly blessed to have her music in our lives and bless her mother for saying to her that her music could be a medicine for the world for she was right,what a wise mother she is.Aurora you are truly a Genius.❤️
Wonderfully moody, “Aurora-rized” version. As others have said, it’s a Christmas classic in the UK, both the song and the animated film. This plot paragraph is kinda amusing: “The Snowman takes the boy on a flying adventure which, in the TV adaptation includes meeting Father Christmas, going for a ride on a motorbike and flying into the aurora borealis of Norway…” A few ‘updates’… the new Kalandra song is only around 2 minutes long (written for a game). Still lovely, but perhaps not long enough for a reaction, unless you add Helvegen or something else you haven’t heard to it. Two new Aurora songs this week: “Midas Touch” (for the show Hanna based on the terrific Saoirse Ronan/Eric Bana/Cate Blanchett flick), and “Paramour” (Sub Urban feat. Aurora). A few more for the ol’ list. :)
You guys GOTTA do more songs from this concert. Under Stars is great. As is Winter Bird. The opening, a cover of Nature Boy, is haunting and such a way to start the show. And Little Boy in the Grass immediately follows it in the lineup and again....is gorgeous. That entire concert is legendary....but those particular songs, along with this one and Lucky(which you already did) are the highlights for sure.
The exquisite arrangement of this classic from the film "The Snowman", makes this probably Aurora's best cover performance. If this song hadn't already been written, I am sure that Aurora would have come up with something similar, as this is just the perfect style for her. Fun fact, the book that the movie was based on is a children's book but it is illustrations only, no words, so it is not possible to "read" it as a bed time story.
Yea. Love this performance like a whole 1h concert. It was pure magic :). She is so engaging when you listening/watching it. She is so great storyteller too :).
Hi Ginger, hi Mike ! Thank you for coming back to Aurora... each and every song of this concert is magical... also THIS cover of Howard Blake. And your reaction is wonderful, as usually. Please do more from Aurora, especially from this concert. "Little boy in the grass" from this concert is exceptional ! Best wishes : Gerry
Hello Mike & Ginger. Stunning beautiful as always. The combination of arrangement her beautiful voice and her great storytellling abilities gives us a realtime journey. I really hope that you could do this Aurora - Through the eyes of a child -Tivoli Vredenburg Utrecht 19/10/2016 i have nagging about it several times now for you. But i still hope. For me the most emotional performance. Not the best filmed but it is worth it.
You should watch "The snowman" to which this is the soundtrack. An animated movie about a boy and the snowman that becomes his friend. Quite dreamlike and without any words, the images conveying everything.
In the very beginning of the animated movie, The snowman, there is a gentleman who is walking wearing a scarf. That is David Bowie and his son just found that scarf not that long ago
The Nightwish cover version of this song is also worth checking out: Nightwish (Walking in the Air Live Performance) ruclips.net/video/9icKP1b44TA/видео.html (This is old enough that the singer was Tarja Turunen and bass was played by Sami Vänskä.)
A beautiful song and cover😊 Aurora has covered a couple og song of Leonard Cohen. I think you would like her vertion of «Famous blue raincoat» from a tribute-connsert in Oslo, Norway in 2017. She is not playing with her own band, but the background music is really good, especially the violin! ruclips.net/video/Oaf0gzQSiOM/видео.html
Greate reaction as always, small correction: Nidarosdomen is a cathedral. I would suggest to tale a look at this video: ruclips.net/video/XXVwFvkNTEg/видео.html It is the full consert, time link to every song in the main comment so you can jump to the songs you have not heard.... everything it fantastic or more fantastic in this consert 😎🇧🇻
Very nice rendition. I still prefer the Nightwish version, but this was really cool. She has a unique spin on everything she does, which is refreshing.
Ginger, Aurora is also learning to play the harp. This cover is a favorite among her covers, but then they are all pretty great... May I suggest a new nighting gale voice for you? Norwegian of course, Astrid S, not really new, but maybe new to you. She also has a great catalogue and writes her own songs. A nice start could be this live acoustic 'I Don't Know Why' ruclips.net/video/QhyHBMlZBn8/видео.html
just lovely. can we have another anna von hausswolff reaction? i think she is so incredible that one reaction cannot cover her work. when you for example listen to "they hoped for a name" you realize, how big she is. did you know that she has her own record label? pomperipossa records. i wish aurora would do more clasical music, it fits better to her abilities than the popsongs she published lately.
Aurora IS music, she becomes the song. Possibly the most talented performer of this millennium. I feel so honoured to live at the same time as Aurora.
A beautiful song. It was originally written for an animated film called The Snowman around 1982/83. Originally sung by Peter Aulty. This version is beautiful but Aurora put her own spin on it. That was amazing as well. Nightwish also do a version of this back in the 90s
Arguably the best version of this song wan an irn bru advert
@@MrXNITROx I looked at this because of your comment. But he sang it far too quickly.
I love these version of hers, It's her own style. Pure and Angelic every time!
Its about a small boy who builds a Snowman which comes to life and it takes him on a journey flying with the boy on his back . In the Uk this is shown almost every Christmas
In Norway too, at least when I was a wee lad in the 80s. Lovely animated piece with a terrific song.
The harp and the violins in that song with the magic of Aurora’s voice and body motions is purely magical! That’s why I always call her the magical fairy princess!!
My favourite Christmas song ❤️

Totally agree with everything you said. I'm 61 and I am so glad I accidentally stumbled across her.
Aurora with her dreamy ocean eyes marble skin and kissy mouth one of the most beautiful ladies in pop music today!

As always when Aurora sings, beautiful 😍😍😍❤️
Das ist sooo wunderschön.
from the animated film the snowman its wonderful
A beautiful song from an absolutely amazing concert!
Yes I can feel it too! I feel like I’m flying throughout the song!!
I remember the film, the Snowman. My boys watched it when we lived in Scotland in the mid to late 80s. Beautifully done by Aurora!
Very enchanting. This took me to another place...
I feel she's voice ,,,,mhh so peaceful 😘❤✌

There's a live performance of Giving In The Love, have you guys seen it? She performed it in Late Night With Seth Meyers.
Beautiful as always. 🥰
Such a good song and well performed. The orchestral arrangement was great as well. Love those violins. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
You should also check out Nightwish’s version, a different take but just as lovely.

Watch the original to get what it's all about ... ruclips.net/video/upH1QZU4Z0Y/видео.html
And, yes, the Nightwish version is awesome ...
Aurora is lovely, my favourite is still the more classical Tarja's version with Nightwish of this masterpiece.
Ginger, Aurora is also learning to play the harp. This cover is a favorite among her covers, but then they are all pretty great...
May I suggest a new nighting gale voice for you? Norwegian of course, Astrid S, not really new, but maybe new to you. She also has a great catalogue and writes her own songs. A nice start could be this live acoustic 'I Don't Know Why' ruclips.net/video/QhyHBMlZBn8/видео.html
please see chakras newest version of Irish Goo goo dolls,the orchestrw version 🙏🙏🙏
pleeease react AURORA STJERNESTØV LIVE UiB Christmas
just lovely.
can we have another anna von hausswolff reaction? i think she is so incredible that one reaction cannot cover her work. when you for example listen to "they hoped for a name" you realize, how big she is.
did you know that she has her own record label? pomperipossa records.
i wish aurora would do more clasical music, it fits better to her abilities than the popsongs she published lately.
Listen to Eivor and you will forget this!
