Aurora: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 ноя 2015
- November 09, 2015 by BOB BOILEN The first time I saw Aurora sing, it appeared so new to her that each note, and each hand gesture accompanying each note, seemed like a discovery and an adventure for the singer. She was 18 when I first saw her in New York City, and now the Norwegian singer is 19; take a look at this Tiny Desk Concert, and her sense of innocence and discovery still rings as true as ever.
Aurora has just one EP and some singles out so far, and ever since seeing her at CMJ in 2014, I've been eager for her debut album. Early next year, we should finally have it - as well as more chances to see Aurora live, as she plans on touring the U.S. in the spring.

We really need a new Tiny Desk Concert from Aurora, please.
YES
AGREED
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Agree!
I´ve thinking the same, please NPR Music!
She would be a great repeat guest. She's grown so much in the past few years.
100 x 100 percents of excellence
Yes please.
I'd be watching
Yesss
What I've been thinking. So, please NPR
I’m a 6’4 225 lb fully grown black man from a rough part of town and this… this made tears form in my eyes
What does your race and height have to do with anything? Music is music. Just say you like it.
@@Grinchthanksgiving he was referring to stereotypical expectations from him (so he described himself) from society for his description, he is expected to be rough and tough man who doesn't cry and is peak manhood. But he broke those stereotypical expectations and cried.
@@lordlyamiga His comment just reinforced said steerotypes.
@@Grinchthanksgiving not really... Unless braincells are lacking, the idea of what he's trying to do is break a stereotype which he did by going against it...
Bro stop it.... Just stop@@Grinchthanksgiving
Shoutout to the dude btw. His harmonies are on point
His name is Odd Martin 👍🏼🙂
And he's very nice.
(If you know. you know)
@@richskater Please explain it, I’m curious.
@@richskaterman you can't just leave us hanging like that
@@richskater XD
the way she gets lost her singing is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
+Sharkiesha Thomson
That's exactly what struck me, how she inhabits the world of the song and the characters. Very nice guitar playing too !
Ambient Guitar great singers are not like her, only geniuses are. Angelina Jordan and Aurora, both Norwegian, are not great singers, they are Geniuses.
+Sharkiesha Thomson I think she acts a bit in this performance
+João Guerreiro Is she a genius but not a great singer? I don't get what ur getting at.
Christian Hidalgo i mean, she is beyound a great singer, in each thousand great singers there is one, or less, like her.
Katie Melua is in the same group.
They do not just sing greatly, they share their souls and their emotions, and amaze us with the magic of their voices.
I love how after she finishes every song it's as if she's waking up from a trance or something
She is very inspirational that`s for sure. It is uplifting to see people being one with their music!
imakemusique being one with her music. that is exactly it
Kay Lace it has inspired me to express myself when i play guitar, i always just nod my head but ive known im alot more expressive than that, never felt inspired to change that until i saw aurora. she teaches us to live it :)
RIGHT LMAO She's so different when she's not singing.
Aaa
7 years later and this has to easily be a top 10 performance. That's why I keep coming back.
2024 anyone ?
☝️
Im here
Hola❤
Ryt here
Here with you brotha
I love how she summons spirits with her arms when she sings.
Bud Wilk you are possibly insane.
Most female pop stars are known for their legs. Aurora is known for her arms.
This is the most truth in the comments section
This is the most truth in the comments section
Spirits she apparently sees...
I mean, people talk all the time about musicians seeming like they’re else where during the performance, but she takes it to another level.
Look at her eyes, opened so wide like she’s seeing something very attention grabbing.
Cant believe that O. Martin (the guitarist) is not mentioned in the description, he produced all these songs and co-wrote Murder Song as well
Yes, so many great artists dont get cudos when deserved!
He's amazing!!
it s magnus the one who produced all the songs
@@DykenSM O. Martin Co-produced that entire album with Magnus , is credited as a producer on every single track.
Anyone happens to know the guitar's model?
I'm so in love with her magical brain. Her writing feels like great mythology and epic tales of adventure. She looks like this ethereal little forest fairy and then she opens her mouth and almost sounds like one until the lyrics hit you and you realize she is letting you in on something primal and dark and I dont even know. What a cool human being she is.
She doesn't even seem to age either lol
Couldn’t have said it any better
You said it all ❤
She's pure magic. Everytime she sings her songs, you can tell she remembers why she wrote them. Stunning.
let's not forget her guy he's amazing too.
I completely agree. he plays with a lot of finesse
can anyone tell me that guitar he's using?
Naya Morris thats a god dam gutar in ebonic turms
Looks like it's a Martin LX1E! Or then one without electronics, anyways one from the Little Martin series.
great voice too...
The fact that she wrote the first song when she was 11.... it's mindblowing. she must have been the most mature child ever
that's a little bit funny. When she was 11, we see her as mature child, but when she is 24 (her current age), she seems to act like child. (which occurs in interviews, documentals and etc.)
the tea and the cookie She’s a Gemini I believe. Mentally agile folk, sometimes emotionally detached. “Maturity” I suppose is a relative concept.
What?! I didnt know this!
Prodigy you should hear the cover of massive attack's TEARDROP she did....... 😲
AURORA wrote the song 'Lucky' when she was only 9 years old. She began creating melodies at the age of 6!
Who’s still listening in 2023? This is pure magic.
Edit: 2024
Magic isn’t real
@@SenorPain81 Aurora is real magic.
@@JoshuaCraven We already discussed that magic, in fact, is not real.
Yes. She is pure magic. Proud of being a norwegian 🥹
@@mariafoslihansen7801 Proud, surely. Not magic, not possible.
Her body language was so mesmerizing ... like she was in a trance and suddenly woke up at the end of the song!
Yeah i noticed that too and i went crazy. She actually travels into her songs. Love that.
its called autism. She is autistic that's why she is so good because uses a lot of brain capacity to sing
True … she’s a great artist first then being autistic which helps elevate her artistry to a magical level!
Am i the only person that thinks she sounds like Morrissey??... I mean, I love Morrissey. So it's not mean. Lol
@@edgarurmeneta you mean every autistic person is good at singing or what 🤨 yeah if singing is their special interest, they may want to learn that skill. But every single person (autistic or not) learns differently.
she's a fairy. she's got to be.
The older kind I'm sure
That's what I was thinking, gentle and majestic and utterly MAGICAL
The stories are real
I'm sure that she, Florence Welch, and Hozier are all from some other world parallel to ours.
Hence the wish to be taken home where she belongs. I believe she belongs to another part of this universe.
To say she is getting lost on her music is an understatement. She knows exactly where she is and it's beyond beautiful
she gets lost and found in her music
she gets autism in her music
Kxpuc what do you mean by that?
lost in a sense that she becomes surrounded by it to an extent that it's as if she's in a completely different world distant from the present, yes.
Greatest comment here
37 year old black man who just discovered her a month ago. In no way my usual cup of tea but her artistry and the emotion out into it has made her one of my favorites.
I love your comment. 48 year old black woman who just discovered her and thinking omg I really missed out seeing her from the beginning lol
thousand gazillion years old ethereal undying god here, i like her music very much
Нашёл её 2 дня назад.
А разве так важен цвет кожи? Разве он на что-то влияет?
Тем более в предпочтении к музыке. Музыка - дело вкуса, и возможно только возраст слушателя может влиять на вкус. Хотя окружение, конечно, в некоторое степени формирует предпочтение.

Oque tem haver a cor da pele, com a apresentação incrível da Aurora?? Seus militantes.
just a guitar and a voice, thats all her need to make me cry like a kid
Secundo
when she sings 'i was dancing, in the rain'.. i can feel the raindrops
SAMEEEE
i love her music. Every Time I listen to it I kinda start daydreaming
Honey and Shades mmkminmkm.
my soul dances when she says it.
Shivers, chills, tremble...
I almost forgot to watch this today
Pois er
totally feel you bro!!
how dare you!
Right??
But you did, that's the important thing . . . . better set a reminder for the next time!?!
Aurora was absolutely splendid but I don't see many comments about that killer guitar work or harmony.
Odd Martin helped Aurora to her fame. He co-produced her first albums. He is a top notch musician. Cudos
I found her music when I was is such a dark place in my life. I was in the hospital and thought I was going to die from a surgery mistake and after 48 days of being in there I survived but I get a really weird feeling every time I hear her. It’s like fear and anxiety all in one but almost a peacefulness as well. I know it sounds weird but Im still very happy to listen to her because it reminds me that I made it.
Thank you for sharing ❤
Never heard of her, I’ve just been sobbing for 13 minutes
I feel you 100%
❤❤❤❤
You should keep an eye out for a tour. Saw her last year and it was magical.
I had that experience the first time I listened to her for hours one night.
Ik
It's refreshing to see an artist react and perform to/for the song, and not the audience.
+HughesReview I agree too. Seeing her immerse herself as she did was enjoyable. Felt like a story
She is really living the songs, and the funny proof is that she was thirsty, grabed the water bottle, opened it, and then closed it again and placed it on the table. I think she did not even notice that she did not drink at all.
HughesReview agree. it became so very rare. So many people told me I should perform for the audience whenever I got lost in my songs and I hated it. So many concepts. In the end performing is just about sharing an experience ....
Wow, that is really awesome. What a great voice and breathtaking performance. It's really hard not to fall in love with her immediatly. These eyes and these voice and the strange moves she makes, because she lives her music :-)
Please bring her back! Back then she was a beautiful cute little caterpillar, now she's a huge magnificent butterfly.
We deserve another Tiny desk from Aurora, she is completely different, It'd be a great performance now.
I know what you mean, but it was a great performance then!
Her voice is what I imagine the spirit world is like.
Vanity Insanity she’s the spirit voice in Frozen 2, so you weren’t alone in thinking that :)
One thing for sure, she really feels her music and envisions it while she is singing, she uses her body and mind as part of her instrument. This is why she is so good, besides being so talented she is envisioning the story and acting her music out while she sings it. She is in a whole different place while she is singing.
That's what I like about her, she is the music.
Her movements remind me alot of JFDR from Samaris, if you watch some of their live shows on KEXP she uses her body alot to express herself. :)
Com certeza, ele não só canta mas, sente e faz-nos sentir a música. Close your eyes and to feel the pretty and pure music.
This man knows the sh*t
This song gives me an oceanic feeling, when she says “take me home where I belong,” I picture when I’m older, and nearing death, repeating this mantra, looking forward to returning to the state of being I have been for most of all time: part of all, conscious of none.
Thank you for writing this, Levi. These true words made me really emotional. I've never saw existence from this point of view before. Thank you
Beautiful.
You might need to calm down. Maybe,take a step back and just gather yourself.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart break may the Lord take you home where you belong
I relate so much to this. It's so cool to know there is other people AWAKE my friend
it looks like shes looking into another dimension while she sings
The way she moves her arms for some reason makes me super happy. She is so in tune with her music god it's beautiful
It's like she's discovering each word as it comes out of her mouth. By the way I see The 1975 in your profile picture. I adore them.
Soooo amazing. I love it.
My theory: all her songs got a "mute line" on the music sheet for her feelings when she sings
You must have never heard or seen Bjork. She is the queen of queens, and this little girl has mimicked Bjork's style forever. Hands down.
It's called "the moment" ... we've all been there, probably more than once... but a few, very special, very blessed, creatures get to live there.
... Aurora is just such a rare and elusive creature. A heart bigger than her skin... living in a moment bigger than her life... a soul that not only lights up a room, but which explodes like a sun into every crack and corner.
She truly is the very best of us.
The guys voice fits so well with hers!
I agree. Their harmonies are very well matched and underrated.
She looks so fragile, like a delicate flower. I love how she sings and dances with her hands. She's in a different world and yet we can still see her
The best guitarist. No doubt. Subtle and intense. A fine line, nailed. X
Same! What is his name?
@@Rodrigo-xf6us o. martin
its so cool that he comes in with back vocaly on a slightly delay. It makes the extra execute.
Yesss. It’s light and soft but fiery
no freaking autotune should ever touch this angel’s voice
I feel the same way. I know you didn't mean it that way, but check out "Aurora Auto-Tune Interview by DIFFUS" on RUclips :D
-- *interview of aurora with autotune* exists😂
She did a cover with Chemical Brothers that has autotune
Josh Actually that more accurately would be a vocoder 🙂🤖
I actually find her studio recordings...not that interesting. That's my personal opinion but I think that any sound editing / engineering of her voice is a crime.
Just a guitar... just a guitar and her voice and is perfect.
How many artists can do this much with just a guitar and their voice?
+Barra Edinazzu I wasn't just speaking about her voice. Is the atmosphere she creates, the capacity of telling a story so clear with little to none other instruments but her voice and her dramatism.
+Barra Edinazzu Yeah, I just expanded my answer to clarify what I wanted to say ;)
yea ikr!!! so beautiful
Felipe Correa Hannah Reid? from London Grammar does it too. Both artists, the voice is the band, the medium and the guitar is 'following'. Both incredibly powerful in different ways. Both transformed into something different as they start to sing. The future of music is good when people like this get airplay :)

her fanbase is the best ever
not toxic at all, just lovely
🙂🦋🐚✨
Fudge packer!
When she dances while saying “I was dancing in the rain” is the most beautiful thing.
The sentence " I kept running for a soft place to fall" reminds me of Robert Frost's poem: "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep..."
Bravo
thats beautiful!
Best borrowed phrase
Omg , this phrase.
I love that quote
Don’t you just love those moments when you know you should be sleeping but you keep finding absolute gems - this is one of those times - they’re both amazing!
Aaron Wilson welcome ... now you must choose, are you a Warrior or Weirdo? 🙂🦋✨♥️👩🏻🦳🇳🇴
@@aeropilot4419 Wait what's the difference?
I'm in that same boat
Everyday just like now!😂
These acoustic versions really hit the spot. She’s amazing, the authenticity of her is out of this world. She is so natural.
That performance of Runaway was one of the most beautiful things I have ever witnessed in my whole life.
0:01 Runaway
4:57 Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
8:58 Running With The Wolves
Vybrii Thank youu!!! :D
Thanks ✨
People like you in comment sections are the real heroes.
Thanks bro
"ill be screaming a little bit high is that okay?" "okay"
So cute hahah
Compared to the music I generally listen to...when she said she was gonna scream and I was like..."honey. that is not screaming." 😂
mostly my mind gets lost somewhere after her song,everynight I listen to one of her songs so I can drift of with a pleasent dream
I think its time for a new tiny desk concert for Aurora.
Yes, NPR please if you’re reading this have her back 🙏🏼
I'm obsessed with her. She puts a little bit of her soul into music every time she sings.
These two were born to sing together. Both their voices blend together well naturally like the sun and the ocean
I really miss them working together
You feel that because Martin (The guitarist here) is harmonizing on the thirds, and he's great at it! But yeah, it's not just natural, it's deliberate.
Martin did a great job same as aurora. They are like rainbows in the field with flowers and butterflies.
I'm obsessed.
+Alex Crisci Wellcome to the Auroras warrior&weirdos!
same here

Discovered her today and sheesh I am blown away! Such feelings of nostalgia! I cried a bit.
Well better late than never.. listen to her live
She casts such a spell whenever she sings. No one else makes me feel like that.
Celeste Newton ionnalee also does this for me both as solo artist and her group project iamamiwhoami
cheers to that :D grace slick, aldous harding and aurora make me feel this way

We lost an incredible vocalist this year whom which did the same at all his shows. R.I.P Trevor Strnad. I miss you every day. Please, reach out if you ever need to let anything out, if you're hurting inside, let someone know, so someone can help heal with you. I love you all❤️
I never felt so lucky for clicking on a random song. The day I discovered Aurora was one of the best days of my life...
Yes... For me it was 25/26 of November 2019.......
SAME SAMEEEEEE i could still remember the first thing i heard of her was HALF THE WORLD AWAY!!!! that random thumbnail and it was THE BEST THIIIINNGGG! been stanning her since 2015 huhuhu 😭😭😭💞
I keep coming back for O. Martin's guitar plying with Aurora with such melodic skill. Stunning!
i love the contrast Auroras music and performance has.... as a person she is funny and free spirited but then she lets you in with deep emotional experience ... she's amazing
8:44 I love how she got a bit nervous when talking between the songs. She even take the bottle, open, and then CLOSE IT LOL
hehe
Thanks for pointing that out! When she is singing, she is a Goddess. In between, she is so so innocent.
And then look at her a minute later and she is lost in the song and the shyness is long gone
I saw that, I was like...awe, poor lamb
@@cheymcloughlin6366 yeah thats so cool
Please apologiese for my bad english, it is not my mother tongue.
I love to see how everyone adores her unicqueness!
When I was in her age (and younger) everyone told me all the time I were so different and weird and should correct myself.I felt so ashamed to be different, to be me. I wished so bad to be like the people around me, normal and not in my way. When I see her I been so proud she have a chance to express her personality.
I hope she stay how she is and don´t fight against it. Because of that, I destroyed so much in myself, lost my creative side, suffer on anxiety and have a low self-esteem.
For everyone that will read these: When other people say you are not right as you are,
please, don´t listen what they say, stay as you are, you are beautiful!
Your English is fantastic in this, so good job. That person that was you as a kid is still there and it isn't too late to let her out. It's much better to be looked at as different than to be considered the same as the rest. Love ya.
Never be ashamed of who you are! i've felt this sometimes too, the pressure of society to keep you on the "tracks" can be overwhelming and not everyone can bear it, sadly.
Luckily, i stayed on my way and kept being who i love to be, ME! Good luck to all of us in this journey. Also, english is not my first language, but let's not be ashamed of that too hehe speak a different language is hard AF.
@@mathauslevinthal If you had not mentioned that English is a second language for you, I would not have noticed.
@@idahoplantguy9027 tkx man, i'm practicing it xD
♥️♥️
I come back all the time ❤
My mother died not to long ago......and for some reason im scared to watch this tiny desk again. I know why. The first chord confirms it. I cant take it anymore. Its killing me for mercy. 5 4 3 2 1.....i feel better. My heart still beats. I love you mom
She makes me feel again.
She must be protected at all costs.
Gabie Moret she just joined the "industry" :(
OptimusXian Prime not at all. Queendom is not so good, but is not THAT bad. Aurora is still special.
Matheus Andrade Rodrigues its obvious that you just don't get what I mean..... open your eyes. Mother Nature just lost another child.
Matheus Andrade Rodrigues qeueendom isnt that good? Listen the hrab version
Harp version is better than orginal. I am talking about the original version. The harp version was published last week.
People can cover these songs, but no one can even come close in painting the emotional pictures she paints while singing. Genuine artist in every aspect. This is what puts the artist on a whole other level.
Her way of painting out her songs reminds me of lorde
I think shes the only artist i never listen to covers of her songs.
She's never in the room. Her spirit is right where she belongs, far away within the music.
The harmonies are spectacular.
+Darwin's Beer Reviews Hey buddy! I don't know much about music, do you mind explaining what do you mean by that? Thanks!
+Kaue Uematsu ruclips.net/video/evBgLWQwAFA/видео.htmlm42s
This part.
Kaue Uematsu Have you heard a barbershop quartet when they all hit the same note but in their different tones and their voices mesh really nicely? Thats harmonizing.
@Sean Gold I think your barbershop quartet reference is the best to explain what harmonizing is, but your terms are a bit off. I'm sure you meant that they hit the different notes of a chord. The voices mesh really nice because we perceive it as just being one chord and not many notes.
from my amateur understanding, harmonies have to do with the interval or the distance between two or more notes. There are several intervals (for example from the 1st to the 3rd note, or from the 1st to the 5th note of a scale) which sound naturally great to the human ear, on every scale. If you combine those 1st, 3rd and 5th note you have a ordinary triad, or in general a chord or even more general a harmony. By definition you can combine any notes together and call them a harmony, but I think the avg listener is more focused on how well the harmony sounds. Hope it was helpful, I´m more used to the german technical terms.
This is how I prefer to hear Aurora.
Acoustic, with Odd Martin Skalnes accompanying her.
Music doesn't get any better than this.
Yes
Sadly O Martin quit the band , but the new guitarist is not bad at all , takes sometime to get used to him!
yeah I miss Martin his vocals where just so smooth in company with Aurora's really noticed with the new guitarist vocally just not quite the same standard T^T
+Axis Maybe I'm just getting used to them, but the new band members seemed to really hit their stride playig together at the Lollapalooza Brazil concert this year. I really missed Odd Martin myself.
ruclips.net/video/Tg-nbbWkfaU/видео.html
true they're deffs coming into their own saw a few live small shows for various radio and stuff since that tour starting to grow on me :) while still never the same tho...
Am I the only person who thinks Aurora sounds her best with this kind of minimalist production? I still enjoy her more lavishly produced studio music, but this really highlights her magical voice ❤
Admito qué acabo de escucharla por completo y me pregunto: ¿Qué rayos hacía yo hace 7 años sin escucharla?!, aunque ahora sí me siento más preparado para escucharla.
Yo supe de ella por qué le aventaron un Simi en su concierto, pero la verdad digo lo mismo... Dónde te habías metido aurora toda mi vida que no sabía de ti
I catch myself feeling somehow guilty for looking directly at her. Like she is showing such a complete and honest version of herself, and I don’t know her well enough to be allowed to see it. So I look away, and can’t stop myself from looking back.
Nathan Burbank Same actually
One of the most honest comments ever seen. Same feeling here. She's so pure
Probably cause she's laying it all bare in her performance, which makes it all the more personal and intimate. Ironic at the same time, since you're not there in the room. I think it shows how good she comes across as a performer. Very impressive.
Such an interesting and deep comment!
This is one of those things that many people feel but lies undiscovered until someone doesn't light it up...sometimes even thinking he's the only one to feel such a thing, and that what he is going to say won't make all that sense for the others. Instead what a beautiful surprise it is, when this moment comes and what once was something untold appears to be so true among people all over the world.
By the way, I personally think there is something hypnotic in Aurora's eyes and movements...I can't help but think she has a special charm. She makes you feel uncomfortable and incredibly comfortable at the same time. I wonder what would happen listening to her live, alone in a small room.
I don't feel that way. But appreciate you shared your feelings
I love how she picks up her water bottle, opens it, doesnt drink anything, closes it, and puts it back down.❤
Aurora, you make a old man cry with these beautiful lyrics. Thank you.
goodness, this is the most beautiful tiny desk performance i have ever watched. She’s astounding, her voice, her meaning, her spirit as she sings- painfully underrated artistry.
Agreed 🙂
"it's called 'the murder song', you see, so it's kind of 'aah'"
I love the way she moves! It draws you into her world and makes you feel the words. Not many artist these days has that kind if charisma.
+Danny BallsofDoom Absolute embraced by her, Danny!
+Danny BallsofDoom have you heard about Sylvan Esso? I think this duo also has a lot of charisma, but Aurora gives more raw emotions, that is what i think takes me in.
+Sergey Lagutin No I haven't. I'll be sure to check them out! I'm always on the lookout for new music.

And yet Joe Cocker was made fun of for twitching as was Michael Stipe but I guess thats the difference of being a cute girl and a twacked out dude...lol.
Had I only listened to the songs without seeing this video, I don't think I would have appreciated it as much. WOW. So much tamed and restrained power in her spirited lyrics and ethereal voice. She's swept away, back to the story playing on the movie screen in her head, acting out her emotions like a dancer, drawing us in without allowing us to get too close. I'm really glad I saw this.
Her live performances always make me emotional. And this is through a screen… I can only imagine how it would be in the flesh. I can’t wait to see her live someday. A must see, life changing kind of show, I’m sure. I love how she’s completely involved in anything She is singing. Perhaps she bewitches herself, she’s just that magical.
I love that she looks almost embarrassed at the end. Like why are they making such a fuss? She's such a contradiction. She seems so unsure of herself, yet looks completely free in the way she expresses herself physically, especially on Jimmy Fallon. I love it.
she said in a tiktok that she is introverted, that she is scared of people but not scared of what people think of her, I guess that shows her unique way of be, she might feel uncomfortable being surrounded by people but she will never be uncomfortable in her own skin

aw she was so nervous.. it's amazing how much she's evolved when it comes to performing live, since this performance :')
There's something so raw with her movement and facial expressions. I know that is what everyone is commenting on, but it's really hard to feel like this and show it to an audience. So many people would be embarrassed! She looks quite strange at many points, very fluttery and her eyes look lost. But she's so into her song that she almost isn't there, and I don't feel as if it is an act. I feel like she's giving us exactly who she is and that is so so special.
This session, Aurora, is absolutely brilliant. The voice, the lyrics, the music, the facial expressions, the emotion. No words. Thank you!
it's interesting to see between the songs how nervous she is, but how well she performs despite that.
I'm get so happy from seeing that every day I find new people who likes aurora's music she's truly a brilliant artist and for me, this video is never going to get old.
She’s an incredible performer. Those gazes...those movements...she speaks in a language that most can’t talk in but we all understand. What an incredible gift to our world her existence is. Thanks lady. Keep it up.
1000% agree, she’s quite something else “more” isn’t she?
I love how she acts out her songs as she sings, it's like she's actually there and can see and feel what she is singing. I close my eyes and join her. I love her.
still my favorite Aurora performance, I just love how in sync she and O. Martin are, perfect harmony.
The work of the guitarrist is amazing, his voice give still more feel with the beauty voice of Aurora, this litle concert touch my heart and I cry, pure art!.
She doesn't just sing words they come out of her as emotional communication, like she is seeing and feeling the words are literal. Amazing!
You got it right
This maybe one of the most amazing performances I've ver seen. I am convinced she is David Bowe and Bjork's love child.
I love her, she always makes me feel like there’s still something magical left in this world
Such a beautiful voice!!! She’s gorgeous and sings amazing. Her Nordic singing is beyond amazing as well
The choice of the songs here is brilliant. Runaway represents loss, wanting to get away, escape from just everything and not knowing what to do, basically, confusion and sadness, and then there is Murder song, which obviously represents the moment of Impact, the moment that changes everything in your life without you even noticing, a moment of extreme struggle and realising the things we love aren't always the best for us, and then there is Running With The wolves which means in my opinion, healing, and realising that loving yourself is the only key there is to be saved, it represents getting over whatever hurt you and becoming a braver, stronger and much better person. I'm just, I'll leave you the words.
Ah, the good old song interpretation/English essay in the comments!
I never did this with any other artist, she is such an inspiration, thank you so much by the way.
So superficial! The songs means more than just that!
Nourane Zayen that's so beautiful 🌸💜
Aurora restores my faith in humanity
Riac007 i think so
Her eyes are are crystalline, clear vision, pure heart, she is humanity, she is Gaia.
Lotte Karamazov why? Then don‘t kill it....you choose yourself. Enjoy the beauty without feeling little ❤️
Lotte Karamazov have faith. You might be doing better than you think...
why?
A perfect reminder that something so simplistic can still sound so amazing. 🫠
I'm really grateful that this person exists in the same world as me. her music is so beautiful and resonates with the spirit in a way that just isn't common
that look, she is living each lyric and went to another place while singing. Rare gem
The coolest thing about this girls, is that she actually write all of here music and lyrics herself.
+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg even cooler is that she wrote In Boxes when she was 11 and Lucky at 9-10 and Awakening at 14 and in her album you will hear song written when she was 9 !! What?? She is a prodigy with capital letters!
+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg The story behind Lucky is : when she was a kid she had a favourite place with lots of trees which she used to climb and one day she saw the machines cutting down the trees becase of house building and she wrote the song about tha experience ,a beautiful song! She was a very happy kid with a loving family so suicide wasn't in her mind at all.
In Boxes is a story about a very strange and scary old lady.! She can confuse anyone because all her songs are filled with metaphorses, there are some joyful exeptions like Warriors and Conqueror!
+Dan «BTTG» Gimberg Everything has 2 sides ..life the bright and dark Not many songwriters are brave enough to write about the dark side Aurora did that as a child with elagance.Incredible!
Animal Soul is a new song recently uploaded on RUclips and OMG it's such beautiful song. She forgot the lyrics but the audience didn't care at all they just love her!
+Leo Dobrodenka where'd you get this info from?
+Yves V I'm norwegian and have read and seen all her interviews. Example. a radio interview with RTHK-radio 3 in Hong Kong she said that Runaway was written when she was 11 All her songs except 'Little Boy in the grass' (15) 'Puppet'(16) ,'Conqueror' and 'Running with the wolves' (18) were written between 9-14 yr. Aurora said that in her album release March -16 you'll find songs written between 9-18 yr.
Everyone's talking about her, but the other guy is nailing it also! He has a great sense of harmony and is an incredible match!
Beautiful colourations with two voices and a guitar!
Aurora sings so beautifully. Thank you for presenting this.
Quarantine and watching this while sobbing my eyes out :')
same :')
Same
Same here.
Just found this, I'm crying now too
