Since, you're new, she is, in fact immortal and is the leader of the fae. She's Norwegian, so that's a reason you're getting those vibes. Her voice carries your broken hearts through the wind and then sinks them into moss where they can grow back healed and whole.

You should REALLY listen to her live version at Nidorasdomen, an ancient church, where she just BELTS this song with full orchestral and choral backing... Just to see the difference. This one is so intimate and delicate, and the Nidorasdomen one is so very different and energetic yet still so great. Highly recommended.

Murder song at the Nobel awards is phenomenal..!!!! Also her cover of god is a woman especially considering she had an hour to prepare her cover and fully makes the song her own..!!!! The world doesn’t deserve this young lady..!!

She does a version of a song with Wardruna called Helvegen that is another episode of otherworldly, especially against Einar’s solid wall sound. You’re mentioning how she might mesh with another vocalist who has a harder sound, and her presence on that version of Helvegen is a good example. Worth a look some day, Julia.

Aurora is AMAZING! She sounds like a fairy, she also looks like one. Her voice is very angelic 🤍

To really understand aurora you have to look at her childhood,picture the lakes and forests of Norway as her playground and you can see how nature(Mother Earth) is so important to her and then add in the fact that as a child growing up her family never had a TV or radio,only an record player where she listened to Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohan both great wordsmiths in the art of music,it's then you can start to understand what makes this girl become the amazing artist she is today,and to think at the age of 6 she found an old Brocken piano and taught herself to play without being able to read music is astonishing,to then at the age of 9 write a song called Lucky which you must listen to its a masterpiece and by the age of 16 have enough songs for her first album.(all my demons greeting as a friend )WOW! She is so special,for me she is a GENIUS .As a lover of music all of my life, like most of you we all have at times enjoyed certain artists,the reasons for this can be many fold,but I can honestly say that at this moment in my journey no one has touched my emotions or moved me like this young artist from Norway and there is a reason for her to have a huge fan base all over the world. She is such a great songwriter, singer and performer - for me there is a unique quality to her voice and the way she expresses her feelings in every word she sings is a quality that not many singers have She is not mainstream as she has created her own genre, and therefore she is not topping any charts. But that is not what aurora is about she has never craved for that she is a child of the earth and so grounded in what she believes in .So for me a musical journey with Aurora is a journey with meaningful lyrics and comforting vocals that makes you ask yourself questions and think more deeply about the kind of world we want to live in,for someone so young to write and produce songs plus produce all her own videos is outstanding.yes Aurora is a Genius.

Not the first time I've watched this reaction, and in fact I've watched approximately one million other Aurora reactions too. But your comments at the end struck me. On an intellectual level, you certainly wouldn't want an artist in their own world, disconnected from the audience. But with Aurora, she's the most captivating artist I've ever seen, and part of that is because of how the music encapsulates her entire being, and we're just witnesses. I think it works for her because her voice is so unique and expressive, and everything about her is authentic. So you're drawn in, even if you're not necessarily included. Having said that, she's grown as a performer over the years, and she now connects very much with her audience. And yet, I find her very much just as captivating. 🤷‍♂️

Aurora's performance of "Runaway" at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert

Welcome to the completely special world of Aurora! You have a wealth of discovery ahead. Love your reaction, btw. I appreciate when I learn more about "why" I am so taken by an artist's music. I learned, in this video, more I didn't know about time signatures. Aurora has no formal musical training. It's all just her being who she is. And she has picked up musical influences from a wide variety of sources. (As evidenced in past interviews). Silja is an accomplished singer/songwriter on her own. But her and Aurora's voices are absolutely perfect with each other, imo. If you continue to follow Aurora, you will discover that her male band members' voices also blend perfectly. All of her songs are story/songs. And no two are alike. A lot of different styles of "painting" the picture she wants to paint with that song - that message. Most of her songs speak of the struggles that we humans face. She is a keen observer of human nature, whether or not the experiences she describes are what she, herself, has gone through. And, yes, she completely disappears into the song she is singing. At the same time, all of her songs give hope along with the incredible wrench into our hearts and souls. Someone has compared her songs with sound healing. I totally agree!

Aurora is almost performance art more so than music!

Yes, the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert will be perfect for you. Runaway or Murder Song, or why not both? Think you will be even more in love with her talent and writing and performing skills. She's just amazing.

Aurora really is in a league of her own, so happy to see you go down this magical wonderland as well. My suggestions would be: The Seed - a bit more uptempo and with a message that hits you like a gut punch. Runaway - a dive into her early days, I believe she was 12 or 13 when she wrote this one. God Is A Woman - a cover she got 1 hour to prepare for.

She can reach high notes like no big deal effortless even when standing barefoot on her toes.............incredible songwriter and storyteller, performer, producer.......anything you choose is a winner, trust me, one of the kind

AuRoRa is always a treat!

First time heard Aurora was during a summer festival. Her voice called me in to the tent where She and her band was performing ( I was planning to listen to another artist). That 30min is still one of the best in my life. I felt like I was up on stage and just dancing around with her. Amazing artist and her precence is breathtaking.

Love the harmonization with Silja Sol, their voices go so well together

solid delivery from a norwegian artist with "NO" autotune, no machinery just pure soul

I love how you melted into her arms prior to your first comment. Welcome to Aurora.

I love watching first time reactions to hearing Aurora. She is so special. Her music seems to open hearts in way that people sorely need. I think that's why so many Aurora fans become devotees. You just need her sound to end your day on a deep and very human note.

Love Aurora so much ❤️❤️❤️

Running with the Wolves and Queendom. My 2 favorites

What I find extremely interesting about this song is that (in my interpretation) it is about violence in a toxic relationship. Usually, people involved in this sort of relationships tend to be in denial of the situation... and I think Aurora is reflecting that mindset, her character is painting every violent scene with nice words and nice imagery... where in fact, the "reality" is far from beautiful....

@davidrandall3978

You’re spot on with this interpretation. This song is part of a trilogy with Murder Song and Churchyard.

Aurora and Silja Sol in this performance deliver beutiful harmonies. I love her and her band, I hope you will react to more of her. All her live performances are a treat.

Aurora is great ❤ pretty much all of her songs are beautiful like this

She is a musical genius. Her song writing is spectacular. She puts her entire soul into every song.

Someone said in one of the comment sections, that the way "Aurora pronounces the word "pillow" makes me feel like my pillow is a burlap bag full of rocks"...I agree much. And the phrase "time is standing still", is very expressive, in an intensely personal way.

Aurora said in a tv interview that the creativ process in making songs and having the control in the studio, to do what ever you want is liberating, but ones you perform the song live on stage it's out of your hands. You as an artist isn't important anymore. it's all about the song and she is just a tool, a vessel to the song. It comes to her from somewhere and goes through her out to us all. That's why she is so in the moment. Be safe Björn

Aurora - Murder song live Nobel Peace prize would be a fantastic next reaction.

Her voice fills a hole in my soul I didn't know was there.

Aurora is a gift from the forests, mountains and fjords. She has the wisdom of the ages in her soul and it comes to us through her lyrics and spellbinding performances.

Missed the premiere but so happy you checked her out! Aurora is a powerhouse and a great story-teller, always with her animated hand movements whenever she performs. Today I learned about triplet quaver pulses. Time-form? Ahahaha never heard of that 😆 I'm excited for you to check out more from Aurora, her music is a perfect amalgamation of genre-bending :)

I've seen people say Aurora describe It Happened Quite as a prequel to Murder Song. Assuming that's true, this song could be seen as life flashing before her eyes before the act. The first verse seeming more light and carefree, like happy lovers, but then describing the hardships the relationship faced, possibly because of the hard choice in murder song coming up. Plus the repeated mention of red and her falling body. I think it makes sense if it's followed immediately by Murder Song, which is frequently viewed from the point of view of her spirit at/shortly after the act. And she has definitely described that song as a tragic love story about true love. Or, I may just be over thinking it all...

I like that you take your task seriously and actually pay attention and have meaningful things to say...that is not the case with most "reactors". Of the Aurora performances I have seen, this is my favorite...a beautiful, intimate and creative song delivered with full engagement and precision. Her voice is not big by any stretch but she takes full advantage of its child like quality and engages the listener in a way that is really irresistible. Really special.

Please more AURORA'S songs!!!

First time hearing her. Sounds like story telling. (its good)

The version of this she did at Nidarosdomen was not only more powerful but it was unaccompanied so you can hear her voice more clearly. Also, the cathedral setting makes everything (including the instruments) sound so intense.

People are really put off by artists that go into themselves when they perform? I dont understand why. I mean how much more genuine can you get? Isnt that exactly what you want from artists? To be transformed by the art they make and allow us to witness that effect? Its like they are baring their soul. I love it. Its amazing to watch. And Aurora does it a lot. I have seen her perform certain songs and when she finishes its like shes coming out of a trance and shes suddenly surprised to see an audience staring at her. Some songs move her so much that she has to get it back together to perform the next song. I LOVE that... Its so personal and so giving of her to allow us to witness it.

Thank you for introducing yourself to Aurora. She is one of my favorite artists.

Aurora is the best, you’ve gotten yourself into a bit of a rabbit hole here haha, every song of hers is incredible

Oh my God! I asked you for this very reaction 2 weeks ago. Thanks for reacting to her music, you will see that it's a real magical journey to dive into her music. Your reaction, emotional and technical, perfect. Thanks again.

I totally dig Aurora's backing vocalist /instrumentalist. Her octave, dynamic, and tone changes truly beautified the performance.

I think the reason Aurora doesn't lose the listener when she goes so deeply into her experience, is that she draws us in with her. It doesn't feel like she went somewhere else, It feels like she's taking you somewhere.

There are a lot of good singers out there but only a few are what I would call actual artists. Aurora is such an interesting uniquely talented artist. She is as captivating to watch as she is to listen to.

Aurora is a very special treasure.

Aurora has an enchanting aura in her music - holy sh!t 👀

Hey Julia, thank you for another superb reaction video! There are many exquisite songs by Aurora, which just wait to be discovered by you. As others have pointed out, the live version of “Helvegen” with the group “Wardruna” is worth giving it a listen. And afterwards, to bridge the gap between ancient times and today’s music, maybe you check out Aurora’s version of Ariana Grande’s “God is a Woman”. I think you will be in for a treat. :)

As someone who has seen Aurora live and literally cried for 3 songs straight - the way she becomes the song is definitely not off putting, it's absolutely wonderful

Aurora is an AMAZING artist, I am so so happy you checked her stuff out. - I reccomend you to see Murder song live at the 2015 Nobel. - Through the eyes of a child live at VEVO - Life on mars(David Bowie cover) in the NRK

Her 'like a version' of 'across the universe' gives me goosebumps every time. Her voice just makes me want to cry in a good way 😂. So powerful.

She is our wood fairy, just love her❤

I really enjoyed your reaction to this song and performance by AURORA! She is quite unique! I recommend reacting to other songs from her various live performances: "Through the Eyes of a Child," "Little Boy in the Grass" and "Lucky" from the Nidarosdomen Christmas Concert (in a cathedral with orchestral ensemble and choir); as well as "Infections of a Different Kind," "The Seed" and “Daydreamer” from the HAIK 2019 concert she held in a forest; plus "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside” from the KEXP concert in Iceland; and the Bergen Philharmonic concert where she sings “Soulless Creatures” live for the first time. Her covers include Ariana Grande's "God is a Woman," David Bowie's "Life on Mars," Massive Attack's "Teardrop," Leonard Cohen's "The Partisan," Alanis Morissette's "Thank U," or John Lennon's "Across the Universe."

Walking in the Air live in Nidarosdomen is magic, and for some alternative Aurora, maybe Helvegen with Wardruna. Helps doing som research with the lyrics beforehand on that one though :)

Stunning voice. Reminiscent of Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries. She connects so well with her lyrics. This was beautiful, thank you Julia.

Lots of good suggestions for more of Aurora, mine go to song for her is Through the Eyes of A Child, stripped version on vevo

She’s quite open about being Autistic, having an autistic grandson myself who uses his hands the same way she doe, makes her even more precious to me as an artist!

Yes! I was hoping you would get to Aurora eventually.
