Especially because I've always believed the girl being sung about was beyond a friend. Aurora is openly bi sexual so I have no problem saying this. The lyric "darling it will be alright" is far more intimate than you'd say to parents or friends. As someone whos lost a loving mate, it makes the song all the more heartbreaking.

@timgrodesky4694 So agree with you. I can't even listen to the first lines of the song without breaking into tears. To be able to do it so beautifully in front of her friend's coffin and her family - I would have sobbed the lyrics. @ronaldmcrae4896 No, it wasn't Aurora who was her girlfriend. The girl she sings about/to had a boyfriend. He was the one driving the car. They were 4 friends in the car, but only __ died.The 3 others survived. Poor boy, losing his girlfriend, and the group of friends losing one of their friends... The online newspaper articles about the funeral and the accident are still available. So to speculate on whether A. should also have a romantic relationship with her too, I don't think anyone should do. Not our business either. Yes I see your point regarding the line in the lyrics... but maybe "darling" is meant more as dear - like dear friend. "Kjære" in norwegian can be translated to both and the 17 y.o girl that wrote it was after all a norwegian teenager in 2014. Finaly yes, she has said that she has had both boyfriend(s) and girlfriend(s) hasn't she?

I guess, I invented a new game: who cries first, me or person on a video, loose. I lost this one.

This song hits me so hard after my mothers death, I can't listen without crying.

This was written and performed for the mother of Auroras friend who died in a car accident. It was never intended for release. The girls mother posted it on social media along with a message from Aurora. After it made its way to KZread and her mother read all the comments from people who were helped by this song she said "it belongs to everyone who needs it now". I will not post names to maintain their privacy. Thanks for the reaction.

It was posted in January 2017, near the 3rd commemoration day remembering her daughter with a video full of clips of her with Aurora's song playing. The mother wrote this about the song (translated from Norwegian): It is such a lovely song. It is beautifully written and at the same time so infinitely sad. and then she quotes Aurora: It is important that the song can be cried to. That it is reminiscent of grief at the same time that it can relieve a little. This song is her song. And it always will be. I only had her in mind when I sang it, and I think a little part of her is in it if you listen extra carefully.

Life is not meant for children to die before their parents. But it happens and Aurora coped with them with the help she could give to the friend's parents. I've lost a lot of close people in my life and you don't get over it, but with time you learn to live with it. Remembering a lost person will always hurt and the only thing that helped me with the pain was to start by remembering all the good experiences you have had and smile with the person in mind. Thank you very much for sharing your feelings and thoughts with us and you have once again shown me why I like you. Hug your daughter and family and remind yourself why you live and for whom.

Damn Aurora, got me crying within about 30 seconds in to the song. I felt every word of this song. I lost my mom just over 5 years ago, so this song really hit deep. I think maybe for some people it may get better, but doesn't mean it will for everyone. I'm in a bit better place since my mom passed, but it took time. I was angry at the world for a bit.

Its terrible to loose oer near one. It hhurts for a long time - but this also gives us upertunity to feel happiness. This si what Auroras songs are al about. Having feelings is what we are al about.

Yes, at the biggening Aurora did not want this song to get out and was planning to take it down due to how personal it was to her., However after seeing how this song has helped out so many people to get over their own grief she decided to allow it to remain, So I think you should be ok when it comes to copyright.

It is so heartbreaking and emotional every time I listen. Actualy I prefer this vide that than with fan made cool video as it does not distract me and my emotions from the song. Ps. I also listen it very rare as it is so personal and make me cry or very emotional. Also I feel a little guilty listening to it as it is very personal and it was played only on a funeral and it supposed to be only private (even if I think such beautiful music and emotions should not be lost).

Aww I’m so sorry for your loss but I’m glad Aurora is giving you some comfort

Hi ashena, this is the song I wrote you about some time ago without mentioning its name. I knew you would get to it one way or another. Sad and so beautiful ..... (I have to say that when I heard it for the first time, the text seemed unfinished, too simple, that it is not a text in the style of Aurora, but then I realized how much time the composition between death and at the funeral at which she wanted to comfort the family with that song. Then I listened to it a few more times and it completely blew me away, I left it out of my playlist this is the last time I've heard it) Tears don't flow when listening to it he hasn't lost anyone, I've lost too many of them, so as beautiful as this song is (and it is without a doubt) it's always out of my play list, because Aurora can so easily touch even the most painful parts of ourselves.

Moreover, she mentioned that this album is the most personal one they’ve written so far. It promises to be rich and substantial, with 16 tracks for an hour of listening.
