The Aurora Nidaros consert is a perfect "Christmas special" reaction (or live stream...).

i am 78 and been into music since age 6 and have heard the best of the best across all genres from jazz to blues to pop to gospel to opera to country to you name it. has never been anyone like Aurora. She can evoke emotions from a rock. wrote Lucky at age 9, Murder Song at 11 and Runaway at 11 and the messages are powerful because she is so powerful in her beliefs and her desire to make us all better as people and to make certain the planet surives. She is haunting mesmerizing angelic and so so gifted--- writer singer-- arranger-- composer-- choreographer and for me, a Messaanger from someplace I know not where. Noone like her. Never has been. What a GIFT for Mankind.

My jusical journey as a singer, guitar player & song writer is similar to yours. And l agree with everything you said about her.

She is the most perfect human ever created. Not just her outside beauty but her beautiful soul. Amazing combination of beauty and the voice of an angel and she can reach you with it all. I watch her perform this song everyday.

She is using a very old vocal tradition called "kulning". Locally we may call it "lokk" or "steving" etc. It is deeple embedded in especially Norwegian folk music. But you also find it in the Swedish counties bordering to the current (!) Norwegian-Swedish border. Yes our old common history is older than the invention of borders - and is also complex after borders were invented - and to the present day, we simply do not bother about that border at all (unless a pandemic is going on). On top of this, Scandinavian folk-music has always been rooted in "dorian modes/scales". So yes - you may get a tingle here of medieval chanting structures. Or Irish scale movements. The thing here - I do not think Aurora has studied deep-time traditional music - her songs can be played on a piano in the modern piano-octave set up. But there are hints of pre-modern traditions (like the 5-note (pentatonic) systems) because she is accenting notes selectively. It makes it feel "ancient" or "tribal". Or it may even make it sound jazzy. To me she sounds like she is subconsciously pulling her compositions from age-old traditions and integrating it with her "pop-music". Our traditional music has pre-medieval roots. Way beyond the comedy show or someone singing a medieval "ballad" these days. Interesting fact. AHA - peak 80's perfection sadly mistaken for a boyband - when Morten Harket goes up to the AAA - then slightly higher A-dropping down to AAA again in that tickle - there is their Viking roots vocally (they do it all the time). While they also play with Dorian scales a lot. If you listen to "take on me" and play the chord sequence - it is actually a sad song if you play it slow by the dropping chord sequence. A better example of Scandinavian pop music is ABBA. Listen to "The winner takes it all". It always amazes me that Americans use that song as a victory-song based on the title. They are not using kulning as song-technique - they are instead splitting the harmonics of their two sensational lead singers. While they drop the modes deeper and deeper into dorian modes. Creating a massive conflict that Scandinavians have used forever. Play "winner takes it all" on a piano - and discover how the musicality makes it sound like a loss. Bitterness. Acceptance. It is only the pop-production and text that makes it sound like an anthem of victory upfront. Black metal bands are exploring the same contradictions up here. Even good electronica composers like "Biosphere" or "Røyksopp" as more mainstream example - there all these really old musical solutions embedded when you listen to "Poor Leno" and dancing away at a club party a couple of decades ago. On the lyrics of Aurora. She is an empath. So it is hard to link her lyrics to her actual experiences. I do not know what made her write 5,4,3,2,1 Murder Song. It is clearly not about her own experience. She is clearly not seed when singing the Seed. In "through the eyes..." she ends with a plea of not being left alone. In "Queendom" and "A different king of Human" she is making space for every one lost to come to her/mothership. She is an empath. If she comes up with a new song called "solar system" and in an interview say that she was inspired by a dream where she was in an egg trying to hatch - so it is. Empaths work that way. It is definitely not logic - but somehow it is valid. Cristopher Nolan for example. Most likely an empath while he shows us how dream/time folds upon itself. Clearly not anchored in physics - but an emotional interesting experience. Maybe Aurora is lyrically soft science fiction? She sure does Bowie's Life on Mars with a lot of love also vocally.

Very interesting analysis. Thank you. "Kulning" were female sounds that should be able to attract the animals. I'm pretty sure Aurora has not received any formal vocal training. She is probably self-taught, through singing her own songs. She was not raised on a farm, but probably next to some farms and there may be something in her natural voice that attracts the listener in the same way. Or maybe it's in her Scandinavian genes? She apparently also has a special connection with animals. She seems very inspired by folk music and tribal cultures. And especially fantasy litterature. Most of her songs are empathetic role-plays and she passionately engages in stories she reads, listens to, watches or composes herself. But some of the songs are also clearly based on personal experiences. She is also a very passionate metal fan. And I completely Scandinavianly agree that "The winner takes it all" is first and foremost a bittersweet song :)

Have you seen when Jonna Jinton does Kulning? She is great at it. Check her out!

I’m so glad you discovered Aurora. Her lyrics reveal a deep understanding of humanity and nature. Her voice is absolutely hypnotizing. Aurora said in an interview that she gestures so much with her arms and hands because her mouth was just too small to express all the feelings she has inside of her when she sings. I loved your reaction to this young and magical artist, please do some more!

It's about time you discovered Aurora. Her music is on a totally different level. You have a wonderful smile and I hope that never goes out of style.

She is such an old soul

We recently decided to stop being afraid of making different music. After chasing pop music and lagging with a solid decade for like 50 years we've finally realized that music is what we want it to be. I really think we in Norway lacked the confidence to innovate in music for the longest time. We have more great artists in Norway _right now_ than we've had in the past 40 years combined. Not that hard, seeing as the only band from Norway that ever took off was A-Ha back in the 80s....

Her fans are known as her "Warriors and Weirdos" and she is our Queen. She is from outside Bergen in Norway and I believe she is 24 years old.

@@heidifarstadkvalheim4952 I love them both. Angelina doesn't cover songs, she completes them by making changes that can only be described as genius. I am certain her first album on Republic Records will have many original songs. Aurora is unique and captivating.

The thing that amazes about her is not only her voice, which of course is amazing but the totality of her performance, her body movements and even the expressions on her face. A natural performer.

There are so many great performers coming out of Norway right now. Some are singers with fantastic voices, some sing and dabble with composition and some mostly compose. Aurora is a truly well rounded musician. Writing the lyrics and composition, co-producing her music, co-directing her videos, currently playing at least 4 instruments, and lets not forget that voice. I listen to music all day every day, from the great composers, through 70's prog, metal, art rock, jazz, blues and anything new that's not just a product of the industry at large. I believe Aurora is the best artist writing, producing and performing at the moment. Her ability to convey complex ideas in simple verse, as only a true poet can, and her ability to express so much emotion as she performs is unequaled at this time.

The Yin and Yang of norwegian musicians and artists are indeed Angelina and Aurora, you can figure out which is which:)

there's such presence of purity in her voice and such an innocence in her delivery. another song you might be interested in "It Happened Quiet"

Watch the entire concert. It is a beautiful roller coaster of emotion. A spectacular masterpiece.

Her voice goes in my ears and straight to my soul.

welcome to the Aurora's world.. you will experience inner feelings that will make you want to be better and kind person... run to the woods and hug a tree and enjoy the pure moment of just "being alive"

Aurora!! Makes me cry every time :)

You can feel the crowd holding their breath. Amazing!

You: I feel like I'm going to cry. Me: Trust me, you will.

Oh, and jeans and t-shirts. Surely they will never go out of style. Too bad if they do. I'm not shifting my collection for anyone! :D Aurora is now 24. She was 21 at that performance. She is Norwegian, raised close to Bergen, lives there now.

I don't think I've ever fallen so quickly for anyone before.... Aurora is sensational and incredibly beautiful.

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever.

You just entered a rabbit hole you never will be able to leave.

Yes Schnell! Please check out The seed / The river (Haik concert) and Churchyard (Live KEXP) + anything and everything else by Aurora :)

She is what I think of as an angel.she is and sounds beautiful!!!.

She can sing live perfectly..angelina still way way way behind her.aurora is a pure living soul with full of love.

Aurora is a treasure, a one of a kind. She will often leave you in tears and in awe. She has written tons of songs, only a few are released on her 3 LP's. I see you have got plenty of good suggestions, so go discover her artistry, her poetic lyrics, her voice, movements, dancing, hairstyle, outfit.... Aurora will appeal to your heart and mind and you'll probably be addicted. Love your reactions, by the way.

WOW❣💙😢 I've heard of her but never took time to listen she's fantastazamazing thank you for reacting to her I'll have to learn more about her.

Also, to get a sense of who she is, where she came from, childhood etc...please watch "Nothing is Eternal", it's a mini documentary, 11 min long. Aurora is a once in a generation artist, she is Gaia.

You have a whole new hole to dive into now. She is so good and you will absolutely love her. Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) from the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert is an absolute must.

You have seen her before performing with Wardruna. You were captivated with her then also.

Love your reaction to this. This is from an extremely strong performance, and every song from that Nidarosdomen concert is lovely. If you want to really see something different and equally lovely, you should check out Infections Of A Different Kind or The Seed from the HAIK concert. It's held in a forest, and her performance and the shows sound quality is stunning. I've seen some of your reactions now, and you seem sincere and open to really listen to the new songs. I love that. Keep them coming - A little word of warning, if you keep delving into Aurora, you might be completely enthralled by her. I honestly have never seen or heard any songs of hers that I don't like, and it's so with all of those who have checked her out. A true artist. Best wishes to your Channel ❤️

Oh, you have a whole lot of Aurora you need to experience. Like - "Murder Song (1,2,3,4,5)" - either the official music video or her performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2015 - "The Seed" - "Exist for love" - and almost anything else she have ever made :)

Thank you so much for reacting to Aurora. You already reacted to her with Warduna not long ago. This concert was a special one performed in the Nidarosdomen Cathedral at Trondheim in Norway. It broadcast on Norway's NRK TV in December 2017, when Aurora was just 21. I saw Aurora live here in the UK in November 2019. Once everywhere is safe again and proper live concerts can go ahead, I recommend that you go to see Aurora live. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Im crying my heart out here...

she defines art. She is an art. Highly recommend live performance of murder song 54321 absolute masterpiece

Welcome to the world of Aurora! Whatever song you land on, whichever performance, goes right to our heart and soul. Yes, the Nidarosdomen Christmas concert was super special, for sure. After hearing any of her songs about a million times, I can often get through them without just busting out into tears, but not always. They go so deep. Of course, Through the Eyes of a Child completely destroyed me the first time through. You are certainly not the only reactor to cry on camera when that song envelops them.

Once you discover Aurora you immediately want to look after her, she’s everyone’s national treasure

One of the purest reactions I've ever seen. Thank you.

Great reaction, she is the best!!! An otherworldly singer, songwriter, dancer, producer. The whole concert is a masterpiece, any songs here would be great to react to next.

You have opened the Aurora box now! She is very addictive. One of her big strengths is the variety in her music. All the enduring artists have this skill, painting different pictures in a range of colours and styles of sound.

AURORA is in league of her own, and so versatile! Check out her environmental anthem "The Seed:" either the music video or her live performance of the song in a forest (HAIK 2019)! She is up for a Grammy this year for her duet with Idina Menzal in Frozen II. Her iconic song: "Running with the Wolves" is the central song in the new animated film "Wolfwalkers" (due out in theaters and in two weeks on Apple TV)! Also her incredible song "Soulless Creatures" was performed for the first time live this year with the Bergen Philharmonic! And her performance for KEXP in Iceland is amazing: "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside" !!! She is 24 years old, but started writing music as a young child.

This is not even my favorite performance but the haunting choral section is so powerful it gets me every time.
