![AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) Live [FIRST REACTION]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/tI1Hi10DaP8/mqdefault.jpg)
Aurora uses song writing as therapy as a way of helping her face fears. The lyrics for this tune are penned from the victim's perspective: "He holds the gun against my head. I close my eyes, then bang! I'm dead." In this song she deals with the difficult things we must do to protect the people we love.
Aurora said to the 405: "It's a tragic love story. Very tragic. The saddest thing is that he really loves her." *This is what i found on her Wiki page. I have a theory on my own that she is Mother Earth and the man with the gun is the human race.
Really liked that❤️
@TheBlackiwid thats the great thing, its open for debate and we all add our own ideas into the song =)
agreed. cause for me, i interpret it as a tragic love song. A man with ptsd and trauma, that have not gotten the help he needed, when he needed it, ends up killing the one person he loves the most, in order to "spare" her for the trauma that life throws at you, because of the lyrics "I know, he knows, he is killing me for mercy" and not "I know he is killing me for mercy" seems just like an aknowledgement that she knows the reason he is killing her, its because of his trauma and the pain he keep reliving and can never escape, and to spare her from that. He still take away her choice and her life.. and might have been able to be avoided if he only got the help he clearly needed in time, and the consequences of it was tragic.. much like in society today..
@TheBlackiwid also take into consideration that murder songs/murder ballads are a sub genre especially within folk,country music, there are also a tradition for it in scandinavian,british and german culture
YES!
I’ve been to many live performances and by far Aurora is the BEST live performer I’ve ever been lucky enough to see. Her stage presence is astounding, her vocals are unmatched. She’s a gift to the world.
I want to see her too. Lucky you :)
This song is soooo intense. I loved it since I heard it first time...
One of her best song!! I love Aurora.
Wow. You’re the first reactor to come up with a theory that matched the actual story the song is about. Most people think she’s trying to justify it like an abusive dynamic
He killing her for mercy cos the alternative fate is so much worse. Its one of the most heartbreaking lyrics ever. Love your work by the way Mr Fable.
What a unique artist - only listening to her music does not do her justice - you have to watch her perform, truly amazing...
This is a 10.10.10. For me. Awesome song and lyrics. New singer for me. Love her.
That´s my man! There is too long between. This song is so haunted and intense it´s one of AURORAS legendary song. Look at her
This is the song which made me a fan. Aurora is awesome.
Ah i’m so happy you finally got back to Aurora. She’s something magical live. her whole soul goes into every process of being a songwriter/singer/performer. She is very very special!
Aurora is a queen of live performances, you should watch more of her live, she is incredible to watch and Even more incredible to listen to as she delivers everything perfect and more so, each and every single time. Her live performances enriches her music like no MV ever can, because she is the perfect live artist, live stage is s canvas for her, and she always paint her songs brand New, everytime.
This is one of my favorite songs of her, she has so many versions of it, always twist and turns it live. So no matter how many times you've listen to the song, it will feels little bit new each time she performs it, so you shouldn't be afraid to react to the same song from her om diffrent performances, og MV for that matter.
This song is said to be part two of the song "it happend quiet", if it is true I am not sure, but they do share the same darknes and the same storytelling aspect that she delivers so perfect.
I will recomend this version, Even though every version is good, but this is one of my favorite. And it is an incredible song that should be heard.

Oh how much I love when her music make us really THINK!😘
This little beautiful pearl in our lifes👩🏼🦋
Aurora as a singer songwriter is so special,this live performance is without doubt one of the best live performances you will ever see, the girl simply put is a Genius,
she is such a wonderful writer, she writes so the song means what "you" want it to mean. based on true live story but simplify so it could be about your dog, grandmother or whatever.
hell, there are only three basic lines in the song but her eyes, her hands, her body tell a story on there own. she even gives herself the shivers. at the end, if watch closely, you can see her come back from wherever she was to the here and now as the audience starts to clap.
captivating!
Happy to see AURORA from you again. Lovely reaction.
At this time Aurora was 19. Find another 19 year old who could write a song like this, then deliver a mesmerizing performance at such a prestigious international event, good luck with that. You have done a number of Aurora reactions and been blown away but you have just scratched the surface. There are four things you now need to do, not necessarily as reactions but for your own pleasure 1/ Take a look at some of the clips of interviews she has done to get more insight (There is one from Norwegian TV with her older sisters Miranda and Viktoria, who do her make-up and costumes and a short one where she teaches how to do a somersault). Aurora is intelligent, wise, funny, cheeky, playful, honest and quirky (At the press conference for the Nobel concert, with so many famous people there, Aurora took a pine cone with her to help her focus). 2/ Check out the live version of "Conqueror" from the Honda Stage to see her interact with the audience and smile and dance with joyful abandon. 3/ Watch "Through The Eyes Of A Child" from her concert at the Nidarosdomen (Cathedral in Trondheim with orchestra and choir) and be utterly spellbound. 4/ Finish with "Daydreamer" from the HAIK concert filmed in the forest where Aurora played during her childhood. This petite powerhouse of artistic expression is almost beyond words, in "Daydreamer" she says "I know I'm just a girl but can I change the World?", my answer is YES. I think you might agree.
I´ve been waiting for you to react to this - the first one Aurora song I heard a few months ago. Have been a warrior and wierdo since :-) Great channel - you´re reacting - not just playing the songs! You deserve a hell of a lot more subs!
Murder ballads are a subgenre of the traditional ballad form dealing with a crime or a gruesome death. Their lyrics form a narrative describing the events of a murder, often including the lead-up and/or aftermath.
Rather common in country music.
@@jongu71 yeah i think in folk and country music its pretty common
I find she uses the metaphor that words are weapons alot (ie: they are pointy, sharp, cutting). I feel like this song is about someone you care about giving you bad news(like breaking up). It hits you like a bullet. It can destroy you. It might ultimately be for the better in the end, but in the moment when the words go off, it can feel like getting shot.
its actually a story of a real couple where the husband had to kill his wife because it is war torn and she was dying of starvation and couldnt make it otherwise. Its a recent occurance in a war torn country im not sure which one tho.
@@Alphaomega8936 the thing is music can be interpreted in any way even if the basis of the music is based on something else thats the beauty of it
Thank You Fable...you have spoken truth and get it fully...short story if you don't mind... My mother passed from Cancer a few years back...we (her children) had to make the choices that SHE wanted at her end...they were not easy choices and will haunt us for good...but there was Only the truest form of Love in our actions...This song washes over me like a wave...Every time ive heard it...which is a near Unhealthy amount of times in truth...but this time it wasn't just the song...But your words and reactions...the emotions seem truer when shared...and Aurora lifts my soul and releases my guilt with each repeat...Big love and thanks for the feels...although it is hard to type when teary-eyed and snotty...lol
I felt every word had me in tears ...wow what an amazing special artist thanku so much love your perspective love an god bless x
Beautiful and very young Aouroa in a big stage................................
I think this song is either a victim justifying being killed, or about killing someone or an animal that you love because they are suffering.
For a next reaction I’d suggest Infections of a Different Kind live at HAIK (it’s in a forest) or Soulless Creatures live in Bergen 2020 (she just performed this live for the first time). You will really enjoy these.
What a lot of people don’t know is this song is based on a real life couple. The wife was sick I think cancer and they couldn’t afford her treatments or rent so they did a murder suicide.
I hadn't heard it was a murder suicide. I thought it was a euthanasia of his wife who had an untreatable tumor and she was in aweful pain. I think the story came out because of the man's trial. The way she sings part of the chorus is the woman's ghost trying to appeal to the people to not hold him criminally liable for her death. "He didn't mean to do no harm... he did it all to save me from the awful things in life that comes, and he cried and cried."
Really?
What are your sources to that claim?|
It was a norwegian couple so it wasnt due to medical bills but the wife was in a lot of pain and was terminally ill, the song is sung by her "ghost" after the husband killed her to release her from her pain.
Not true at all...people made that all up....watch the interview with Aurora where she explains this is from her vivid imagination. She considered doing more songs about this or writing a book....it is her imagination as she says.
AURORA's Said ThIs is a sad sad lovesong. and it is for the listener/reciever to feel and interpretation it. The song was inspired and written after she read the criminal novel "Murder Song" by Aussie author Jon Cleary. It is spun around a thelifeof a homocide detective.....
So there you go........5,4,3,2,1.....👏
DIsturbing emotional song......lots of beaten women tend to protect their abusers and make up all sorts of excuses for them, and beatings go on and on....... or I'll put you out of your misery cause I love you so much.....it's about violence not much of metaphores......at least that is what comes tomy head every time I listen to this beautiful song........it's different every time.....great reaction Fable txs
That's what this songs mean to me also
@@NorsemannAbsolutely! Some thnigs have to change the sooner the better
She wrote this song after reading a newspaper article about a "mercy killing" in which a husband took the life of his terminally ill wife to spare her from suffering. Aurora being the reckless romantic she is, saw this act for the love and conviction it would take to actually do that.
... and here I go... if you have the concept that everything ends with the death, then its tragic. If your concept is, that your existence is a journey and after death you walk another way in an other existence, then it is not soooo hard. It comforts me, that the killing is like opening a door... and did you notice the butterfly... thats a metaphor for metamorphosis... 🤍🤍🤍🤍
@Jules R you see 😉
Moths
@@gnrtradepro moths... they are just butterflies with a goth attitude 💀🖤💀
I cry every single time I listen to this song in this version. And I think I listened to it like 100 times. And I can't stop doing it.
that was one thing she was afraid of (a demon) the album name is all my demons greeting me as a friend
Which, by the way, is one of the best album titles ever.
Oh, Filipe, you got that one right! You are amazing
Look at the butterfly in her hair; the symbol of metamorphosis, rebirth or change...
She talked about it in an interview I saw a while back. If I find it, I’ll post the link.
You need to see her Concert in Nidaros Cathedral (Aurora live at Nidarosdomen)
I have listened to aurora for a pretty long time now, and her music is breathtaking. I have listened to this song a lot aswell, but watching this reaction video gave it a new meaning for me. We had to pull the plug on my mom's life support when I was 20. She had been in a coma for 8 days, because of an accidental (we'll never be sure, she never woke up) painkiller overdose. This song hits the nail on the head. It's funny that this song confronts me with trauma, but it's healing me. This is the power of aurora's music for me. She is really young but she sounds like an ancient spirit. It comes straight from her heart and soul and I have never heard anything quite like it.
More Auroraa!!
This is "Murder Song", not euthanasia song. She takes us into the mind of the murderer. He loves her and yet has killed her. This is about the thought and emotion prisons we can build for ourselves, convincing ourselves that black is white, obsession is love, murder is mercy. Whether it was unrequited feelings or jealousy or a truly insane belief system that precipitated the murder no long matters... the murderer cries and cries in the pain of his mental prison. And is this what she thinks about in those last five seconds while drifting away? Her sympathy makes no sense as she has had everything taken from her. Love is wild. Aurora turns us inside out in a three minute song.
Awesome reaction again bro, and so glad you did dare do Murder Song. Lmao🤣🤣😎
After a few more reactions you should look at some of her concerts, not need to react tho just enjoy☺️☺️
In concert she always says it is a love song, and it is. I love it so much.
Great react Fable
(trigger warning ⚠️)
My view, this is a serious award ceremony.
The peace prize takes into account war, genocide, violence against women.
People pushed to the limits of horror & desperation.
Yes Aurora sings about a couple faced with a terrible situation. But in a wider sense this piece of art, i think, is about the reality of being "spared" of torture by a loved one during a genocide. There are many examples of this kind of horror still in our world today, Aurora shines a light on this, she doesn't look away. That's why her artwork was chosen.
The words seem so simple and direct to me but perhaps to know the countdown to death, you have to a have the person you love most die from cancer or some other debilitating illness. In that last six months preceding death you see the wasting, the pain, the suffering and you live with it. There is also the contradiction that your loved one, when times are darkest, sometimes want to die. It is a temptation to step in and do something about it. I know, I've been there. In the end, I believe most people want to have every moment of life they can. Somehow Aurora conveys all of that in this four minute video. She is an observer, who in the act of dying, understands the messenger, and gives frenetic expression to what she knows is coming. BTW, Hospice facilities in the US know all of these things and they try to make dying a little easier on everyone. At least those last couple of days. I think of this as one of the greatest performances ever done. Thanks for the reaction. It should be seen by everyone.
Look at the world we live in.. It would be an act of mercy to save someone you love from it.. Good reaction..
Who'd have thought a song about euthanasia could be so profoundly beautiful.
I've heard an interpretation that the song represents a metaphor for ending a relationship. I like this interpretation. Aurora herself does seldom provide interpretations as she wants listeners to make our own. The only comment i know she has made is that "the tragedy is that he really loves her". Still leaves a lot open to personal interpretations.
My first impression of this song was that the victim here was trying to convince themselves that the “abuse” or end given to them by the gun holder was the right thing to do. And that the person meant well and was protecting them not trying to hurt them. They were showing the victim mercy. In the end the victim is too conditioned to believe the good in the abuser to see the bad. I don’t know if that made sense.
you should definitely listen to her cover of teardrop by massive attack!!! she’s amazing both with her covers and her original songs!
To me it's someone that's suffering so much emotionally that they *want* to die and they convince their loved one to help them end their life, perhaps because they're unable to themselves...
To me, I know not all people agree with me, its a song about putting a loved one or pet down, out of love, to save them suffering, as seen from the perspective of the pet/loved one.
Its just.. it fits, it resonates with me. Aurora always makes me cry. She is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sei%C3%B0r . She can weave things into reality. She makes me realize we are all one godlike creature: leaves, from the same tree of life. We are Odins eyes. We are one. Thanks to music like heilung and aurora, I rediscovered the ancient nordic pagan way to look at religion to be, in a poëtic way, the most complete. I can preach about it for hours, dont get me started.
we need artists like Aurora, artist that makes us think and not only entertain, its so refreshing to watch her compared to most of the A-list music with no substance
Aurora is a inconsigurate pragmatic singer, she doesn't care what "you" think. She's bold, confrontational, honest and real. She tells the story like it is, no bullshit, no filter, no front. Just, real, hard, honest, nervy, truth! Please check out the Nidarosdomen Concert from Aurora!
Eyy! Brunost gang ‼️ 😜 🤙🏻
She's is a lyrical Genius !!!
I’ve been meaning to look at this song but haven’t yet, thank you. She has so much emotion. I love music that makes you feel, whatever that feeling is, what’s the point otherwise??
Seeing as you love guitar I’d still love if you could check out John Butler Trio. Blues & roots/folk with a message in their songs
No, its metaforic. She sings about feelings and the loss of it
Hmmmm .... love her singing but ..... the lyrics 🙈🙈🙈Lost my husband to cancer last year. In some moments during his suffering ... if I’d had a gun ... I don’t know
I feel like it's a story about domestic abuse and the woman justifies the man for killing her because she is still in love. I have felt this way since the first time I heard this song but I also understand your way of thinking.. Anyway always great reaction!!! I just wanted to ask if you could do TAMINO-HABIBI(LIVE) I have requested it quite a while ago and in the streams ❤️❤️
my thought from the first time i heard it
My first interpretation was same, but the more I listen to it I saw variations, and Phils words on this validated that I was not crazy,lol. But I believe that since she is sucha wonderful artist, that any interpretation you make from this is correct. Your experience listening to it is the correct one. Right?!
You will cry more and more. Watch more live performances. You are great and she is miracle.
May sound patronising but trust me It's not meant that way. You are a very intelligent and intuitive person! You understand what an amazing being Aurora is. Much love from London ❤
Check out 'life on mars - david bowie' cover by aurora, its beautiful !
Any of your theories are always extremely intelligent, you are my fav RUclipsr . Damn. Lol, gnight.
You nailed it, for a while. The song is based on a true story about a guy who killed his terminally sick wife.
She sings on her toes and that is so f..ing difficult when you should standing solid on the ground. She is not make that easy for herself
It's easy for her, that's why she does it. She is one with the earth and nature, and music just flows through her like water
This song always reminded me of overprotective parents, because they mean to protect their children from the cruelty within society but end up "killing" parts of their personalities/ identities. (sorry for any English mistakes)
I need that you react to "LUKY" BY AURORA... but the live version Vevo dscver.
Will do
@@thefablesphere I must say that the live version of "Lucky" from the Nidarosdomen is even more breathtaking.
She wrote this after reading an article about a man killing his wife and it touched her and she wrote
Loved this reaction! You should react to It happened Quiet which very connected to this song ❤
This song ha many layers. the immediate is of course the direct literl story. But another interpretation/layer is growing also. That he (the murderer) is humankind and she is nature. We kill her and we know we do that but we continue knowing what we do, but unable to stop. Auroras songs mean different things for different people
Aurora read in the news paper about mercy killing and she was mesmerised so she wrote the lyrict to 54321
React to more of her work ✨🎶
not true. In an interview she said her vivid imagination came up with this.
Thanks for doing another great Aurora reaction! Looking forward to the next one, always.
(Suggestion for next one: Through the Eyes of a Child - live version by Vevo UK.)
Have a fabulous weekend Fil!
you should react to her song “to be loved”
Love that song!
Impossible to not to love her 😢
Aurora has said that its a love song - it’s dark and in some ways cruel. This song deals with the difficult or hard things we must sometimes do/suffer to protect the people we love ❤️
One theory about the song is that the woman is mother earth and the man with the gun represents the human race. She hasn't said explicitly what the song is about so this is a fan theory based on that she's also a green activist.
Love to hear Ur thought of "in boxes"... Or just all of Aurora please 😁
well the song is "murder song", not "assisted suicide" song. In the mind of the man who pulls the trigger, of course he is doing it for mercy, the one reason he deems right. Whats love for him, is murder for everyone else. You know, love won't make a murder right.
Aurora is next level❤
When I hear the song I automatically think of father and daughter. The father is depressed and only sees the bad and cruel in the world. He doesn't want his daughter to suffer the same as he does and thinks he is doing the right thing in stealing her life. He'll probably kill himself after that. And she sings from the perspective of the daughter's spirit, who is just seeing what the father has just done.
This is really hard song.
This happens every day in the world.
First - I'm German and in the attempt to express what I think I'll come very close to the edge of my english abilities. So don't judge me on that.
What I think is that there are many very crazy people out there and among them are some who actually have that twisted way of expressing love or protection. When you think of artists that were killed - e.g. John Lennon or Christina Grimmie - they were killed by fans, not by haters. I can imagine Aurora means something like that. She ones said about this song: "The sad thing about is, that he really loved her". I think the song is not that metaphorical as you interpret it.
I would love to see you react to " Infections of a different kind"
React to Aurora- Lucky at Vevo Discover. Pleeease
Please could you react to her live performance of "Under Stars" (Glastonbury) pleaseee . I know you'll love that live performance!!! 😭🙌
lovely
Listen to Aurora's Why did you have to go. She wrote it to a friend they passed away
This song is for me a great analogy for ending a bad relationship. A merciful ending of a bad thing even though you love that person.
The 5.4.3.2.1 in the BEGINNING is of course analogous to the ending, as one would count down before shooting a gun to end someones life.
The 5.4.3.2.1 in the END is to me analogous to how you would fire a starting pistol for a race, now its for the beginning of what comes after - the start of your new life.
Atleast i like to think of it this way, and this way it sort of ends on a lighter note.
Beautiful voice and music
But I m so confused now
"Or maybe because of how dark the world's become... I don't know." No, you knew. Haha.
No theory is wrong because it is poetry and can have different meanings depending of the context. This is performed at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert.
Could you please react to Aurora performing it happened quiet live at Nidarosdomen? I loved this reaction btw, the euthanasia theory is so interesting, really cool how you thought of that!
Apparently, this song is based on a real story that happened where a man killed his wife/girlfriend to spare her from the pain because she was terminally ill.
10's... Beautiful song..
Euthanasia? No, When your loved one who is about to turn into a zombie. It is a Zombie song.
It's about mercenaries - Nobel peace price folks
My mothers schoolmate got in this situation. His wife suffered cancer and one evening after dinner she told him that she wanted him to kill her with sleeping pills. They were talking about her death. Can you imagine how horrible this must have been. And yes - he did it. For her. Cause she really wanted it.
I know this song from a very sad scene in The Flash.
If you react to this song, you also have to react to "Churchyard" and "It Happened Quiet. They're a trilogy
I once heard her say that this song is about, the difficult decisions we sometimes have to make to protect the ones we love.
That's as direct a quote as I can recall.
I can see this song used in a James Bond movie where Bond has to shoot the girl to save her from a worse fate or inevitable painful death.
I believe she wrote the song after hearing about a man who killed his terminally ill wife (to end her suffering)
If we take the song literally, then the man who kills her sees the world only one way. The world is full of pain and suffering. The only future he can see is one of suffering, and so, in his eyes at least, by taking her life he is saving her from the pain he believes she will experience. He has lost all hope.
She is my Queen of the norrh, so what have you to say, i dare you.
Aurora is our Elven Goddess.
From norway😘
Everything you say about this song makes sense. However, I believe the song has to be whatever we put into it. It can be a song about euthanasia, but it can also be a story about being killed by your lover. There are many who are killed by the person they trust and love. The lyric may also fit as an explanation, those killers use as an excuse for killing the person they love. I love your interpretation and your review. Thank you!
