• Aurora - I Went Too Fa...
![[DOKKAN BATTLE] August Producer's Letter](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JUTYpaV_4Ic/mqdefault.jpg)
It breaks my heart that she thinks this is "not such a sad song". It is one of the saddest songs I have ever heard. The lines "I'm left behind with an empty hole, and everything I am is gone, I try to reach for another soul, so I can feel whole." It just breaks me. I'm with you, I don't know how anyone could not love Aurora.
Yes, the blood is symbolic, not literal. Aurora talked about this song on stage. She wrote it very young, and was not talking about a romantic relationship. It was actually about getting the attention of the other kids in school, because she was much different than the other kids. But, Aurora writes lyrically very symbolically and metaphorically, so I don't think she is saying she actually cut herself physically to get their attention. I believe she is saying she gave too much of herself and then felt empty.
Yep. When she was in school she thought for a while she wanted/needed to fit in, but realized it wasn't worth the cost and being true to who she is was much more important. Pretty awesome realization for someone that young.
Yeah, she wrote the chorus "Give me some love and hold me tight" when she was 9 years old, and she added the lyrics to the song when she was around 16.
I think she is talking metaphorically with the cut my hands. Aurora is the most un-apologetically authentic person i have ever seen. Thats why we love her so much.
One can't really say here, because there are people who really do something like that to experience love and attention.
The whole song is actually very clearly formulated here. Metaphors are otherwise used to describe things. Like "The Seed", for example.
If you're looking for an upbeat song of her's I think her song Conqueror on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is probably the most upbeat, at least as far as the tempo and her stage performance.
I second that Jeff, it's great ruclips.net/video/IwNoXFgg8lo/видео.html
Thirded. (Is that even the thing to say?)
I love how animated and lost in the music she is when she sings this live. The music video is also worth watching.
Our Queen is a metaphor savant. Don't take anything she says literally. I have heard her say that she leaves it up to the listener to come up with their own ideas of what she means. She wrote and sang a song called In Boxes, in the song she talks about a woman who kills men and keeps a souvenir (body part). Of course she is a kind and loving person and not a psycho killer. Just trying to clarify.
Our beautiful Aurora.
Love is an extremely powerful emotion (Yes I know the history of this song) and can be obsessively destructive. Forgiveness for an abusive partner, stalking and many other signs can be manifestations of love. Add lust to the mix and it is explosive.
Past generations knew about the madness of love and recognised it.
On the other hand two people in love can be the most wonderful thing.
Aurora is loved! no wonder why
Even if you don’t record it for YT please watch the events leading up to the HIAK concert. Thanks for another Aurora watch party.
Can't wait for the HAIK concert!Also the more you learn about her you will find how funny and quirky she is.A song of hers called In Boxes is probably her most different vibe you will get from her.
I would suggest watching Queendom by Aurora because it's one of her most positive songs she has ☀️
Thank you for this great video. It's fun to see your fun in their songs. After murder song this is my second favorite song of hers and also the performance.
What you see here at the beginning is Aurora as she always is. She also likes to have real conversations between the songs with her fans.
It can be about her thoughtlessness or her armpit hair or she gets gifts. She has also talked about her best friend during her tour, which she had for 3 days. She called him Manchesto and he was a balloon that happened to fall from the sky. This is Aurora. Very funny. If she hadn't become a singer, she would also have been a comedian. 😁
you have no idea how much i needed to hear that about self harm tonight.... thank you for all of your genuine reactions, and i hope you're having a great day/night
Thanks for the reaction. Hope to see you at her show(s) next month, I'm in San Clemente BTW.
She is speaking symbolically about the blood. The cuts are metaphoric to take out the pain in her mind and heart. She is saying she had to work to change those feelings so she can continue with her world and feel whole again and she succeeded. A lot of her songs are about her growing years. I think she may be referring to her childhood when people didn’t understand her so she had to either stay with the pain or take herself away from it.
She’s in NY on the 14th, and then California on the 17th and 18th. You should see if there are tickets still available. 🥰 After that, she won’t be back until next year, unless she decides to take a rest. I live on Cape Cod in Massachusetts and missed going to NY because of a prior commitment, but you bet I’ll be where she is next tour!! Btw, you should listen to “Under the Water” in this Honda concert.
Oh I absolutely cannot wait for the hair concert. It’s so amazing!! I do hope you post tonight!! In addition… someone has probably already mentioned this but there is a whole aurora Haik documentary that’s a lead up to the concert. You should check that out too at some point. It’s really really good and you get to see a lot of aurora and her thoughts about singing, fans…her childhood and things that make her who she is. It’s brilliant. It is in Norwegian, but is subtitled (somewhat well ((I do speak a bit of Norwegian so I feel entitled to judge lol))
Rather than an accent when she sings, I look at it that she has a distinctive style and sound that is hers and hers alone.
There is a clip here on RUclips where she says she wrote most of this song when she was 9! Mindboggling!
Glad you covered this one, it's an important introduction to her synth-pop style of music which is some of her best in my opinion. To me this, Runaway, and Murder Song are the foundations of everything to come.
I think her lyrics are more figurative. The point of the song is the danger of giving wayyy to much. You nailed it, that's she's painting the picture that it's not worth it. Which thankfully she says "I had to walk away:.
I suggest you do more songs of hers I have plenty that really are amazing her covers are amazing like (life on Mars by David Bowie, walking on air the snowman) or her own songs are also amazing !!
Thanks again, I will prepare the popcorn for the Haik concert. Great reaction, and feel free to give an advice when you have one, maybe you can help someone that is going through a tough time.
She said that when she was younger she tried being in a group of some of the more popular girls. Seen that she wasn't being accepted because of her just being honest....honest with herself as to who she is. That the others would only accept her if she was more like them.
Realized that if she needs to change to be part of the group, she's better off alone.
She.....had to walk away.
I love that.
It seams like Honda release different concert/performances that they support under the label "Honda Stage".
Glad HAIK is next! The thing that sticks out for me in this video (besides the excellent performance) is the tall guy in the zone (or zoning out) at 14:25 in your video... gets me everytime :-)
LOL...yes he literally sticks out.
She’ll be in SAN FRANCISCO in MAY - warfield!! Woo!! She says songs r not about her. Well, loving your responses as always! Listen to Conquer. It’s also upbeat.
Thanks!
Aurora wrote this song when she was 11 but changed som of the lyrics when she was 16 ( cut my hand, standing in my blood etc)
I love this version. I'd only heard the original audio version until now.
Her most upbeat song is "Cure for me"
Thanks again for this reaction, from a U2 fan to another (well, at least, I used to be a long time ago :D) ... Looking forward the HAIK reaction, but I sincerely hope you watched the whole documentary to get the context (and some background on Aurora) and not only the concert ?
Indeed! It was GREAT
If you'd like an emotional break, and want to see a happy & upbeat Aurora, go and watch her performance of "Conqueror" at this gig.
I believe in Norway , English is taught as a second language early in school. I met her once in the UK and i think she struggled to understand me as i have quite a deep regional accent Lol . She was a joy to meet though , sweet and humble.
For her to write the lyrics in English, given her 2nd language, is incredibly impressive!
@@larryshair They start in 3. grade. In Norway that is at the age of 8-9, but many learn a lot before, since TV and movies in Norway are mostly in the original language with sub-text. Only shows that are for the very young are dubbed as a standard.
It was one of her career's first live gigs, and later on in an interview she confessed that she had been terribly nervous and shy back in that time. But of course it's natural for you to need some time to get used to be live on a stage, in front of a lot of people, even if they show tremendous love towards you. And if you compare it to her recent shows, you can tell how far she's come from that early days. Nevertheless she was so cute and sonically perfect back then, you can watch and listen to those concert anytime these days and still have fun.
The love / frendship you must beg to have is better of not having....
This was a song inspired by herself (many comments explain it, she has told the stories), but other songs: often they are inspired by other peoples stories, even also novelles (one of the stories behind murder song).
She is VERY sensitive, and uses writing as an outlet...
I think the cutting and bleeding was figurative of how far a person will go.
AURORA live at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC presented by Honda Stage.
Regarding fashion: I am, as you, not the most fashion person around..... I use what I like, and feel "trapped" in a suit.
I am boring in fashion.... but that don't mean that I can't admire somebody like Aurora that is in the other side of the scale when it comes to fashion.
Her sister makes her clothes, but Aurora is involved.... when she is at home: heavely involved.... she told in an intervju that she and her sister had "workshops" (can't remember what words she used).
She has several times said that I wear what I feel at the time... if that mean that she want blue and red, she might take on 2 different dresses at once....
I love that!
react to aurora - under the water - honda stage
Great reaction! I’m new to your reaction but loved it! I have a recommendation please check “ Conqueror live at jimmy fallon show” it’s amazing to see a different side of bright and natural Aurora! Definitely worth to watch 🤍
Thanks!
❤️❤️❤️
I don't know if it's very useful to drop such a comment more than 2 years after this reaction video was done, but just in case.
Here is an explanation, about the original idea that gave birth to these lyrics. It's from Aurora herself, explaining it on stage (2016) to the crowd. The video is about 4'10'' long, and there's no song, only her freely talking (the explanation really begins at 1'18").
Aurora explains I went too far Song: ruclips.net/video/CQFH2dKKd38/видео.html
Hope you'll find it interesting. I myself had like you the same "staightforward" interpretation, and I like how she can use an imagery, in a valid way, to speak of the general mechanism inside the situation she describes, and not really of the situation itself. Even if the "staightforward" interpretation is still valid (because of its mechanism).
Anyway, very nice reaction.🙂👍
I also think this cutting and blood was a metaphor. It means that someone is doing too much just to be accepted/loved. I will not repeat what justjilie44 said as it would be something similar (the same background story). Anyway love this song:).
I guess I would still strongly recommend All is Soft Inside live from KEXP 2018 for future reaction as it is one of my favorite performances and you still did not listen to it :).
For other a little rock'isg you can check f.e. Under the Water and Black Water Lilies from the same concert (Honda):).
yes, a few have mentioned it was a metaphor. Pretty dark one, I might say... It was an unexpected lyric in her song that took me off guard and send me on a bit of a soap box moment...
Great reaction again 🥰
I love this song👍
In Norway everyone learn English from the age of 9, so English is like our other language 😊👍
And we learn English not American 😉
Even though I love her live performances, you should check out
“Queendom” official video
“The River” official video
“Winter Bird” official official
You may have reacted to these before, I have a bad memory 😅🥰
to harm yourslef no good, ofc but they need love more then anyone else! love to everyone
You are never alone if you have he courage to extend a hand. There will be some one that takes it :-)
0:58 the Honda Stage is not the same venue as the Honda Center. AURORA's "Live on the Honda Stage" videos were actually filmed at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC, april 19th 2016
Aurora has several actual upbeat songs if you would just know it. Although the story still interesting.
I thought this was like an extension of... It happened quite.... Or vice versa
Honda Stage is not Honda Center in Anaheim Mr. Hair
pleaaaseee react to "black water lilies" by Aurora, it's such a beautiful song
😊👍 For some more of her just taking, you should check out her interview at triple j. It's really a fun interview 😁 ruclips.net/video/NeT3c1HbDX8/видео.html
PLEEEASE

Watch Aurora live on a bigger venue, yes a big n crowded show, so you can get a better a better idea of who Aurora is and what she does ruclips.net/video/FG4mKzH363Q/видео.html
i really don't mind if you don't react to this, but I feel you're sincere regarding our Beautiful Viking Fairy Queen, she is so wise, talented so much inside such a tiny young lady, so I share this with you and off course, she's so freaking cute enjoy!
Like number 666 huehuehue
Not hair concert. Stupid iPhone fools my every attempt to appear smart. HAIK CONCERT.
Finished viewing it! Going to upload either this evening or tomorrow. Working on it now :) Thank you!
Hope you had a box of tissues.
No, I do not believe you when you repeatedly say "I'm sorry". Can you please give her at least one full phrase before cutting her off. She sang literally three words tonight before you stopped her for a 6,385 word - give or take a few - explanation. I appreciate your appreciating her, which is why I follow you, but you might even appreciate her more if you let the song flow a bit before cutting her off to explain what she's singing about. I don't intend to be mean, but it just makes my stomach clench, even simply anticipating it, and I just couldn't hold back any longer.
It's very frustrating isn't it, I would say that most of her songs should be watched without interuption and then analised at the end.
@@thehonestcritic6577 yes. I very much agree with you on that.
Just watch someone else, there's lots of people who react to Aurora. Some people react differently and some people prefer this type of reaction like myself.
I do watch several others reactors but I enjoy watching this fellow as well because his reactions are so new and fresh, and often with a genuine surprise. I just think he might do well to listen longer between comments, that he would really appreciate her more if he could hold off a bit and take in a fuller piece of her performance. Just give it a try and see how it feels is what I'm suggesting.
Also please know that my initial comment, while serious in intent, was really meant to be tongue in cheek in style Larry. I hope you weren't offended.
@@Svatidas I get that, but sometimes you forget what you were going to say about a certain part so he says it right when he thinks about it, very much appreciating every part of the song.
