If you want a tour guide of Auroras best performances I'm happy to direct you. While this performance is great it's not her best. Each one of her songs has a "best" version although there are no bad performances so you really can't go wrong but I think you might enjoy the others more.

@@RNTV Agreed about KEXP, that is a super concert, part of her holy trinity of concerts :) This one has her full of energy and very happy.

She is the true meaning of an artist. Every performance is a special edition. And Silja Sol, her former backup singer is missed by all of us. She is a super talent as well. And a Churchyard is a Graveyard. Down below gave you the meaning of the song.

You're absolutely right, Aurora is a genuine artist in every sense. Her ability to make each performance unique and special is something we admire deeply. It's clear that Silja Sol was a valuable addition to her performances, and it's great to know that she's also a talented artist in her own right. Thank you for the clarification about the meaning of 'Churchyard' as a graveyard, and we appreciate the input from others who have shared the deeper meaning behind the song. We always love learning more about the artists and their music. Thank you for your support and for sharing your knowledge with us! 💚💜

Aurora does like to be vague with her explanations of her lyrics, leaving the meaning to the interpretation of the listener. That said, she does give clues:- In an interview, Aurora said about the song: "Churchyard is just like the concept of someone bigger using their power in the wrong way, that happens all the time in politics, with children, women. I wanted the songs to feel empowering - like at the end of 'Churchyard', she comes back to haunt him."

She is singing in a very Nordic....medieval....voice.....they sang like this many years ago...

Aurora's three performances at The Current should be taken together. This is #3. And yes, a churchyard = a graveyard. Scandinavian culture was very tribal (think: Vikings), so Aurora's musical allusions are to that heritage.

In Norway, the moust old churches have a graveyard, so here the text means she belongs in the grave. I really love your reactions and varm hearts for Aurora. I feeel you`re of her kind.

Yes, her wild imagination about a serial killer, cute as a button Aurora singing about being a serial killer, gotta love her

Thank you for another wonderful Aurora reaction! 🤟 I'll simply echo what others have said about KEXP Iceland 2018. It's not only my favorite performance of Churchyard, but one of my favorite vocal performances from her, period. I think there are six songs at that mini-concert, and at least three, probably four, of them are my favorite versions of those songs, and the other ones are great too. A lot of magic was captured that day! Aurora was really feeling it.

Great reaction! All three songs of this recording, are vavorites for me.

The sound of an angel or a sirene ❤️

Lots of love to all warriors & weirdos in this world. Aurora is pure love. Greetings from northern Germany.

Her backup singer's name is Silja Sol (Sil-ya Soul). She was a perfect foil for Aurora's voice. She has since moved on to work on her own career. This is certainly about a violent relationship. The word "churchyard" absolutely means "graveyard" here. Aurora likes writing songs about complicated and tragic relationships: "Churchyard", "It Happened Quiet", "A Dangerous Thing", even "Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)", although "Murder Song" is about a man who kills his loved one for a sense of "mercy", rather than killing out of violence and anger. Aurora once said somewhere that the chanting in the song was a spell, or a curse, to bring back her ghost to haunt him. Great reaction, as always!

Very nice reaction🤗 I love this, but I prefer her version at KEXP Iceland 2018😍 Aurora said: “‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’ - which is about someone that is stronger… a grown up with a child, a teacher with a student - someone that takes advantage of their power and uses it in the wrong way. It’s inspired by domestic violence.” “In my more delusional stories like ‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’, the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt them.” AURORA

Hello, please reaction aurora en duo avec pomme, une artiste française incroyable qui écris, composé et chante c chanson et qui a un univers différent des autres artiete .le titre everything matters.

This is a hallmark of Aurora. She packs the worst topics into a cheerful-sounding garb. This is about domestic violence. Here still mental abuse. In "it happend quit" this is continued and the victim is killed. Silja Sol is the second singer.

Thank you for providing this insight into Aurora's unique approach to her music. It's interesting how she addresses serious topics like domestic violence and mental abuse in such a way that the music itself may sound cheerful or uplifting. This powerful juxtaposition can make her songs even more impactful. And thanks for letting us know that Silja Sol is the second singer. It's always great to learn more about the artists and their collaborations. We appreciate your support and the knowledge you bring to our channel! 💚💜

In scandinavia we use church yard for grave yard. We need to put violence against other in the light. And give power back to all victims by violence. The shanting for me is like show who the really warrior are. 🌓

Aurora always says that some of her songs do have a specific meaning to them, but she wants them to be open to interpretation to the individual. When I first heard churchyard I immediately connected it to how I felt being bullied for being gay, especially considering a lot of the negative opinions others had about me stemmed from devotion to religion, and as I’m sure a lot of other lgbtq+ people can relate, I have been told many times to “go to the churchyard” both in the graveyard sense and in the sense that I’ve been told that I need to repent in some way for who I am, which even when said with good intentions stings.

Silja Sol is her name, they are amazing together...

Was this really a month ago for you two? Cause it seems like it is, you seem genuinely excited. If so, I’m excited for you guys, I would love to “discover” Aurora again. Buckle up if you’re really interested, she is fascinating.🧚🏻

lol.....I haven't even scrolled down to read the comments yet, but I already know what they'll say..... They'll say you _should_ have done the KEXP Iceland performance for this particular song. But......that for "It Happened Quiet" THE definitive version....is from this same performance at The Current. And tbh....that's not wrong lol. Everyone obviously has their personal favorites, but there's certain performances that are SO good, it seems most of us can agree on this or that version being the definitive one. For what it's worth.....here's a good list of specific songs/performances, that I think _most_ Aurora fans would approve lol... - Lucky, Winter Bird, Little Boy in the Grass, Under Stars @ Nidarosdomen (honestly....just that entire concert!) - Under the Water, Black Water Lillies, I Went Too Far @ The Honda Stage - It Happened Quiet @ The Current - All is Soft Inside, Churchyard @ KEXP Iceland - Animal @ KEXP Seattle - A Different Kind of Human @ Christine's Radio (The Somewhere Else Festival version is worth watching too!) - Infections of a Different Kind @ HAIK - Soulless Creatures @ Live with the Bergen Orchestra - The Woman I Am, Heathens @ VEVO Live (The Gullruten version of The Woman I Am is aesthetically spectacular too) - Murder Song @ The Nobel Peace Concert Needless to say.....I could go on and on. This list isn't exhaustive....but these are definitely most of the top-tier Aurora performances. And that's not even counting the covers....of which there's many brilliant performances. Yes, I'm obsessed. ;P I would definitely recommend reacting to the entire Nidarosdomen concert, kinda like you did for HAIK. For one thing, it was put out by NRK, so there's no copyright issue to worry about. And second, it's hands down THE best Aurora concert ever filmed. It's basically the holy grail of her output.
