Nathan Nathan gets it. The way she enunciates the word "pillow" is utterly adorable...
this version is a little softer than most of her live performances. I recommend you to see her version in Nidarosdomen cathedral Wich is awesome!
Omg yes, that's my favourite version!
Awesome! I appreciate the suggestion!
@@nathanlongwell yes react live at nidarosdomen too
I prefer this Current version, better control of her voice and movements. This song reminds me "Henry lee" By NIck Cave, and I don't know why.
I love this version, but the Nidarosdomen version blows this away.
She is a multi-artist writing her own songs and playing instruments like piano. And she is quite a good dancer - just watch her music videos.
Sweet!! I will!
Fun facet: She learned jazz dancing when she was younger.
@@nathanlongwell she also produces her music. Also she wrote a lot of her songs in her ep when she was 8 up to 13. she is currently in her 20s
First heard her on The Howard Stern Show of all places 4-5 years ago. He heard her rendition of Life on Mars on the show Girls and had to talk to her about it. Was a great interview with a wonderfully free spirited Aurora. Been hooked ever since, she is a wonderful entertainer.
If you want to hear something powerful I recommend Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert and Under the Water (live on the Honda Stage) and The Seed (live at HAIK Concert) is a super powerful song, with great vocals and a great message!
Or Through the eyes of a child (nidarosdomen)
She is currently 23, she produces her work, writes her songs, plays piano and harp. She is very talented human bean 😊
Her voice will forever echo in my heart...
She cuts her own hair and she's very true to herself! She doesn't care what anybody says about her and that's what Aurora is all about, genuinely care about environment, where most of her music has something to do about it. She writes most of her songs with some minimal collaboration from other writers. She has control of the production and if you'll listen closely to her lyrics, you'll find they're deep, not your run of the mill type. When she performs live thats how you'll appreciater her expressiveness, her face expressions, the arms movements is like painting a picture of what she's singing about and she's feeling the music she composed and her body movements reflects. Btw, she's very funny too!
I discovered her in 2017 by watching a live recorded "conqueror" on Jimmy Fallon. WOW. I will tell you what she is about. She is a Viking. She even said so during an interview on a german radio station. She is from the area of Norway where the major staging sites for the attacks (back in the day). She is so honest it is amazing. She has been writing since 9 years old and performing songs by 15. Her manager in a video I watched, stated that Aurora brought 90% of the whole effort that leads to the release of her music. She has a hand in everything and does it supremely well. Gifted genius is my opinion. Her voice is so addictive as a balm to the soul, I bet her existence actually has saved people from self destruction. Yeah I think I love everything about her.
I ageee- she is a divine musical being brought to earth to move humanity forward. I “discovered” her about 6 months ago and I am so in love with her music lyrics vocals arrangements costumes videos - EVERYTHING.
Great reaction. Aurora isnt like other artists (she doesnt have to use a lot of power in her voice to impress, as for some reason seems important for a lot of people). She shouldnt really be compared to anyone, cause she is so unique. Her voice, her presence, her songwriting etc. She also writes songs that has a deeper meaning.
If you react to her song «Lucky» (react to the one from Nidarosdomen), she wrote that song when she was 9 (yes, she did!) «Runaway» (her break through song internationally) she wrote when she was 11. «I went too far» when shew as 12. She wrote other songs when she was between 14-16, so a lot of her songs from th first album were written in her teens. She is involved in the production herself together with Magnus Skylstad (her drummer) and Odd Martin Skålnes (O.Martin) her previous guitar player (the one who plays with her at The Nobel Peace Price concert fex). You should react to all of her performances from the Haik-concert. A concert in the forest close to where she grew up (the choice of place was a surprise to Aurora...she loves nature, animals, insects etc so it was very fittng). That concert is amazing, well, so is all her concerts/performances (but that one is magical). So is the concert in Nidarosdomen (an old Cathedral in Trondheim, Norway, built between 1070-1300)
A fun fact is that her two sisters are very involved in her career and on tour. Victoria is a clothes-designer and makes all her stage- and music video-outfits (and most clothes she wears). Miranda is a make-up artist and does her make-up and face-painting. Aurora makes her jewellery/head pieces etc herself and cuts her own hair 😉
That is super awesome!! Loving all the information! While editing I was thinking about cutting out my comparison to Sia, just cause it really didn’t hold true! She really is extremely unique! 🔥🔥
"She shouldn't really be compared to anyone" LOUDER for the people in the back!
After reacting to a few of hers, there really is no comparison to any other artist 🤷🏼♂️
You're totally right about her backup singer. Wow. It takes talent to really just let someone else shine and take their vision and run with it. She just wrapped her in harmony, over and under. All while just being very, very complimentary, and not competitive, if that makes sense.
She writes and produces all her music, and is in her 20s. Check out the same song in Nidarosdomen.
From the age of 6 she was putting together melodies on a Brocken piano which she taught herself to play,by the age of 9 she was writing lyrics.to songs that are unbelievable.but when you are brought up in a household where the songs of Bob Dylan and Lenard Cohan both amazing wordsmiths you will understand why this young lady stands out as an artist and songwriter.but if you really want to see aurora perform live you have to watch the Christmas concert at the Nidarosdomen cathedral in Norway.i promise you it will give you goosebumps on top of your goosebumps the whole production, sound, will be something you will go back and listen to time and time again,yes I'm what you might call a fan even though I don't really like the term I just love and appreciate music and at the age of 63 I have seen my far share of artists but this young lady at the tender age of 23 is the best I have ever seen,I've seen her live and I was captivated by the genuineness and love for everyone there so humble and at times so shy as if she did not know how good she is,she is a truly special human with a gift that we are privileged to hear.enjoy aurora and like she says in one of her songs,let love conquer your mind for we exist for love.❤️🍏❤️🍏
Aurora is born 15 June 1996, so that makes her 24, 25 this year I guess?
That performance is of a record she made in 2018, could be from 2019.
She wrote some now famous songs when she was very young:
"Songs such as Running with the Wolves, I Went Too Far and Runaway were written in this early stage of her life, with Runaway being written when she was 12"
She has the story telling that no one else have these days. She drags you in her stories.
She does write all her songs. And has a hand in the production. Her live performances are what made me love her. One that stands out is Murder Song at the Nobel Piece Prize Concert. Its 5 years old but shows a piece of the power in her voice.
Ohh sweet!!
Second that suggestion. Magic live performance, in front of a consert hall filled with 'celebrities', and televised world wide. And she was 18.
yes please nobel peace prize concert
Please view her documentary Once Aurora. You will see how much control she has over her music.
Absolutely!
This girl (and her sisters) are so freaking talented, its unnerving.
Thank you for this reaction. I love it so much and it’s exactly how people always react to her. She’s brilliant.
If you are looking for a different - equally mesmerizing - version of Aurora - more power, energy, & that deeper register in her voice plus as always amazing lyrics and melody in a breathtaking music video - react to The Seed.
I love your reaction!! 😂 I appreciate everything you said because that’s how I feel every time I listen to this angel’s music. Her live performances make me love her even more.
The entire HAIK concert is available in HD on RUclips and it is by far my most favorite performance of any artist period
I would love to see you react Queendom by Aurora. It's definitely one of my favourite songs when it comes to lyrics. And I recommend watching the mv as well, it's so beautiful and well done, with a powerful messege. Thank you for reacting to her!
Me too, I cry every time I watch the music video!
It’s amazing how she effortlessly blends in and out into the guitar’s sound, honoring the guitar and the guitar honoring her back, like a butterfly effortlessly mingling among the flowers 🌺 💜
She’s so beautiful and powerful inside and out! Murder song 5,4,3,2,1 at Nobel peace prize is amazing!
all her! cuts her own hair, sister makes her clothes. shes amazing! her version of "god is a woman" is great! need to try POPPY-scary mask and JinJer-pisces live session.
That is very interesting!!
I would recamend through the eyes of a child live vevo UK
Yes please!! Here is the link ruclips.net/video/CFzExUN1N8I/видео.html
The great Bard William Shakespeare would be Sooo pleased with this young Nymph... Her storytelling, songs and emotional eloquence... Is perfecto... LuvU... ☮️ And Blessings...
this is my all time favorite Aurora live performance.. so glad you choose to react to this one! I think you should listen to her NPR tiny desk concert at some point. It's from 2015, which is when her first EP was released. She's only gotten better with time, but I still think its important to hear the songs that started her career.
I am definitely excited to react to more of her!
The other singer is Silja Sol and she is the regular backup singer for Aurora. Good reaction! I recommend you to check out Aurora - The Seed - HAIK Concert, for a more powerful experience. One of my favorite. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you so much! I will definitely check it out!
”Under the water” live on the Honda stage is amazing and powerful too!
Silya Sol is beautiful artist with a kind of art-pop with Norwegian lyrics -
Silja took over from Selma Frida Stang, who accompanied Aurora in her earlier tours
@@nathanlongwell Silja has now stopped working with Aurora. im so sad. its on Aurora’s instagram
Auroras backgroundvocals/guitarplayer is Silja Sol, who also makes her own music😊
I appreciate it!
This is hysterical! You acted like I did the first time I watched her. “How did I not know?!” 😂 She is incredible!
Her accompanist is Silja Sol, another Norwegian singer. They are a phenomenal vocal duo, and have been touring together for a number of years. She does write her own songs - in fact, she writes so many that a lot don't even have music. She even has stated that she has two albums worth of songs that she wants to be released after she dies... because she's that strange and endearing. She's a weird little Ravenclaw. She definitely does go more hardcore with her power voice, but it's mostly when she performs "angrier" songs - usually about environmental or world issues. They are some of my favorites of hers - you should look up/react to "The Seed" and "Running with the Wolves" for examples of these. Her angrier songs are a bit heavier instrumentally, too. Kinda reminds me of Florence Welch.
Silja also puts out her own music, more techno oriented with Norwegian vocals.
Life on Mars is her cover of the Bowie classic. Her keyboard playing is very good.
And yes, staring stunned into space is an entirely appropriate reaction to Aurora.
Great reaction. :) This is her own song, and lyrics are written by her.
I want to recommend another amazing female artist Kokia, please react to her song "Chouwa Oto" live from History concert tour 2012, or song "Il Mare Dei Suoni" from the same concert if you want to hear her operatic vocal, Kokia has classical and operatic music education, but only in few songs she singing more operatic, and she is also songwriter, composer, arranger and producer, also playing on piano.
Aurora is 23, turning 24 on June 15th! And as far as I know, she writes all if her songs, some of her greatest ones (in my opinion) were from when she was about 9
I'm so glad that RUclips recommend me this video. I love how you appreciate her music, you got a new subscribe here, not only for thag reason. You seem calm, true to your opinions and know how to talk dude. Keep going.
Also, if I may recommend a video of her is the seed, it's so powerful. I think you would love her even more.
Aurora is an amazing artist, totally unique. This is the artist that made Billie Eilish who she is today. Watching the video Runaway of Aurora, she decided that music was what she wanted to do. You have to listen - The seed, Warrior (live at haik) and God is a woman (Ariana Grande cover).
That’s incredible!! Billie is inspired by Aurora?? That’s super cool!!
The other one is Silja Sol, she has some good songs as well. Love her voice!
you should watch AURORA - Nothing is Eternal (A Documentary)
I know dude. When she sang: "pillow", my whole body just relaxed
OK 57 year old metal head here, and the one UK gig I will not miss for ANY reason is AURORA. She is a genuine one-off. She can belt in one moment and move you to tears in the next.
👌🏼👌🏼
She started writing the song "Lucky" when she was 9 years old - she have a lot of brilliant compositions of her own, and she does a lot of brilliant covers to. Her version of Cohens "Famous blue raincoat" is a piece of art
This song is wroten by Aurora, and the vocal harmonize that make by silja solen who is a singer too.
Also view a Norwegian Show called HAIK showcasing Aurora. They give a little more background on her during the interview. They also have a cool, spontaneous concert in another video with the same show.
As a child, she liked to roam the woods alone. Her mother rang a bell, to get her back for supper. She might be a hulder : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hulder
Her older sisters does her make up and her dress.
isn't she so special....? she has the amazing ability to connect to everyone's emotional core....this song is dark - about a complicated love affair that may be "dead"......."are your dreams as dead as they seem? I bleed in your bed, turn it red like the ground outside your window".........."love is wild" and not in a good way
MORE AURORA!!!
Your reaction connecting the immense vocal quality of Aurora and Silja (the "background" vocal) with the poetry of Aurora is fantastic. Every little detail in what she does has a meaning, the expression of her eyes is a piece of art in itself. Please react to "Through the Eyes of a Child" ruclips.net/video/CFzExUN1N8I/видео.html . This is an a cappella version with harmonies which stays with you long after the song stopped.
She do write her one music
THIS is her's.
She has a silent magic about her, when she sings we turn silent, often forget to breath, and just listenes.
Her voice is like bells, like haunting whispers that craves attention, her lyrics are mezmerising and profound.
She has lots of original work,.
I would recomend murder song (5,4,3,2,1)

Through the eyes of a child
m.ruclips.net/video/ncG9zTzsisE/видео.html
This is her own. As so, so, so many more. She is so prolific. She is what? 23? She got 3 albums already.
QUEENDOM

I seriously felt the same way as you! "How did I not know??? 😭😭". However, now we have all this content from her and it is magical! Watch some of her interviews, as well, as she is also hilarious! I would recommend something but everything is soooo good!!
you have also react to ' it happened quite' live at nidarosdomen. that life changing i swear
Watch AURORA's cover of The Beatles' Across The Universe on triple j
Definitely check out Running with the wolfs live at somewhere else festival or the Honda stage and the Seed live at Skavlan or HAIK for a more powerful performance! This performance is very soft and quiet but she can be very powerful as well! Please do more AURORA reactions!
Oh please react to her performance of Black Water Lillies live on the honda stage :)
she uses her voice just like a surgeon with a scalpel
Accompanist is Silja Sol, and yes, she came with Aurora from the other world.
What a beautiful song💗
She play piano and harp
react the seed by aurora, there so many message in that song
Sweet!! I’ll check it out!
if you are looking for some recommendations for other songs of this artist:
Aurora - Churchyard (Live on KEXP)
Iceland
The guitar player is Silja Sol.
And Aurora? I've never been obsessed by someone famous... it happened to me with Aurora a lillte bit. She is beautiful and very special person as you can see in many of her interviews and performances.
My probably the most favourite performances of her are Live in KEXP from 2018 and from Glastonbury 2016.
As someone wrote Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert you must to see too.
Imporant fact: She is better at live.
Next on your journey should be "wardruna and aurora - helvegen live" :)
she is 25 years old, and write and produce her own music. :)
I like your reaction...seems sincere and unexaggerated, with some amount of insight...thumb up.
I so enjoy her♥️
The woman on guitar is Silja Sol, and she is supberb ❤
if you want to hear that deep voice of hers, one of songs like that is Seed (live), where she sings in forest for some crowd. Damn, thats a good one. Also, nice reaction, that silence and staring straight in camera is refreshingly weird. :D
Haha! Thanks. 😂😝
"I listen to every genre except for k-pop".. I thought that was only me
Fantastic reaction!
Thank you!!
Silja Sol is playing the guitar and backing vocals!
I recommend you watch the version on nidarosdomen. I also recommend Trought the eyes of a child, that song is the defenition of beauty. Actually all her songs are amazing but if you would like to hear more:))))))
Yes she is more “belt-y” in her nidarosdomen performance
Yes she writes her own music
I enjoy the stripped down songs, but i enjoy even more the ones she's done that has some beat or background rythm to it. Probably mentioned this before, but I love her KEXP 2018 concert at KEX hostel. In total it lasts just under 29 minutes: ruclips.net/video/P_XguuxLo10/видео.html
She's got a mischievous sense of humour, and her funniest interview is for "Like A version." It's just over 5 minutes long: ruclips.net/video/NeT3c1HbDX8/видео.html
Yep that amazing
I love ur reaction. So cute😂
Subscribing for hopefully more Aurora 🙏🤗 She’s incredible. Nice reaction btw 😊
Thank you!! I appreciate you! 🔥🤙🏼
It possibly talks about rape and revenge, but this depends on the person who listens to the song, since AURORA stated that the songs of this album can have different meanings to everyone depending on how deep you dive in them.
The meaning of it happened quiet.
This, to me, is a masterpiece of counterpoint. The first time you hear it the imagery draws you in as if its a wonderful scene of gentle love. But then there are hints of something darker and on the last line it becomes clear something terrible happened and you need to go back over each line and piece it together. This is my interpretation:
"Eyes blue and hollow" The eyes of a lover turned murderer trying not to have feelings or even be fully aware of what he is doing
"As it rains against their will" But of course, he does know and he is crying
"Feathers falling out of a pillow - As if time's standing still" Sounds so light and magical - an ultimate counterpoint to the violence of the reality. The violence that causes the feathers to come out of the pillow. But you don't question this at first.
"I can't remember much more. But I know it happened quiet. So quiet " Trauma blanks out her consciousness but she knows he is being careful, secretive, trying to hide - even from himself.
"Words falling out through the window. All that remains is a silent call. Is the earth colored red? As I land like a flower on the meadow. Love is wild " Again, as a counter point, using this distant or other worldly view of the violent scene to make it sound, at first hearing, like something beautiful is happening. But he threw her out of the window and she lands outside in her own blood.
"You fell apart, Like a stone can be broken into sand, All thousand pieces* Spread across a crying land" Once he realized what he's done his sanity completely breaks down into tiny pieces.
"And you can't remember that day. But you know it happened quiet. So quiet" So now he feels the trauma and blanks it out himself.
*** Here the spooky singing - oooooo's announce the return of her spirit **
"Are your dreams as dead as they seem? Are your dreams as dead as they seem? " So now her voice, from out of death, asks him to face what he did, destroyed what he loved
"Don't you speak over my voice. I will return from the shadows. And I'll bleed in your bed, Turn it red, Like the ground outside your window. Love is wild" She tells him not to try and talk or think his way out of it. Threatening to return from death and bleed right in his bed! Defining, with the last lines, what the red was outside his window and therefore what really happened that day.
BeUtiful interpretation my friend
Hahaha... I can't wait to hear her rap...Whooooha...
Aurora has a wide range of songs from songs like this who´s "soft" to more up-tempo stuff. She has totally control of her career, and do only what she like. Write and produce her own stuff. You should check out this one: ruclips.net/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/видео.html
Awesome! I appreciate your support, and the suggestion!
Her producer is Deca record... she almost produce herself, she direct her ultimate VM "exist for love" song that she wroted in 2017, but she showed to us now few weeks ago, her make up artist is her older sister, and her disegner clothes is her another older sister.
You should react to the vevo video of boys like you by dodie! Also aurora has a lot of good songs like conqueror and runaway!!
If you want to hear the power of her voice, I recomend the same song, but the performance in Nidarosdomen. It's so powerfull that made me cry. The one you reacting to is so soft and calm in comparising.
I appreciate your ear for the music behind the singer, the arrangement etc. I won't go into the wonders of Aurora (and I still have to check out your other reactions)
You pick a good one to start your journey. The answer to your questions are Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes. Enjoy!
Appreciate the feedback! 😁😁
She is my Queen of the north, take care :-)
yeees, she writes her own musics
please react to her song The Seed ♥️
I'm pretty sure she cuts her own hair and makes a lot of her clothes XD Love her out there style!
Please react to "The river" !! It has a powerful message!! I'm a huge fan of your channel!!
Thank you Elias!! 🔥🤙🏼
she will be 24 y.o june 15.
A leetle bit something between Bjork and Kate Bush...??? She plays guitar 🎸 and the piano and, and, and. Hahaha... beautiful...
Yes It Happened Quiet is an original, she write music and Lyrics, she is not only fully invested in the producing process, she is the director of it too, as it is said in many comments below, she started young to write music even if her career started at 16/17 yo, she has written a song like "Lucky" at age 9, or "Runaway" at 11 yo, all her originals from her first LP "All my Demons are greeting me as a Friend" has been written between age 9 to 17.
Lucky live at Nidarosdomen: ruclips.net/video/AmTiqR2_VAw/видео.html
Runaway Live at the Nobel Peace Prize (she is 18/19 yo): ruclips.net/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/видео.html
Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) Nobel Peace Prize: ruclips.net/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/видео.html.
And of course there is so much more, her Album "Infections of a different kind" is a Master piece and her second LP "A Different kind of Human" is just mind-blowing.
It is blood. This is a song about someone who threw their lover out the window and then she kinda comes back as a ghost or spirit to get revenge
Same song but in the Nidarosdomen cathedral she is basically screaming, is very powerful maybe you'll even cry
Why haven't you all asked him to check out "Exist for Love"? :-)
love ur reaction XD pls react to aurora the seed haik live in the forest XD thats so amazing
She's 23 years old, I'd wager around your age (within a few years) heh...she's a Norwegian wonder.
Judging by her hair, she's probably between 21 and 23 in this video. Yes, she writes all her own music, whenever she's not covering another artist, and her producer claims that she's "hard to work with" because she wants so much creative control over the production. The guitarplayer/backup singer is Silja Sol.
EDIT: Oh, and many of her songs were written by her at the age of 11/13 years.
That’s awesome! Love and appreciate the information!
She is Silja Sol.
