How can she rip you open and heal you at the same time?! She seems like she is as fragile as finely spun glass and as strong a high carbon steel. Her art is so intense it almost can't be bourne. It's like she's a siren here to allow/make us feel what a gift life/experience is. It sears your soul, but you cannot look away. Unbelievable!

She played thus at the funeral, I can't imagine what that must have been like for the parents.

In my opinion, Aurora has no current peer when it comes to songwriting. Her lyrics are consistently brilliant and appeal to the intellect as well as the heart. This song is particularly poignant and beautiful. Beyond her extraordinary musical gifts, I love Aurora because she is such a beautiful and caring human being.

This is for me maybe the most emotional and personal song she's made. That part where she sings "Dont wake me because I only see her in my dreams" is so heartbreaking :'(

That could have been my song to my wife who died suddenly 1 year ago. My tears are flowing.

Even more touching when you consider she wrote this when she was just 16/17 years old, an old soul with wisdom far beyond her years. As far as I know Aurora has never spoken about this song publicly but she is supposed to have said this to her friend's family following the funeral.... "It's important for the song to cry. That it is reminiscent of grief while it can relieve a little. This song is {NAME REMOVED}'s song. And it always will be. I only had her in mind when I sang it in, thinking that a small part of her is in it if you listen extra well.". She never wanted this song to be made public, but I think that she would now be happy that everyone who has heard it will also carry a part of her friend in their heart as well. I know I do.

She can really burrow herself in your heart. She makes me cry all the time. She is the best human I've known . In my 49 years, I can honestly say that she has become my all time favorite. She is truly special.

I can't even imagine how hard it was for Aurora to sing this song at the funeral! Aurora is a incredible strong and beautiful woman!

This was the 3rd Aurora song I ever heard way back when. Made me think of my mother who died years before in 2009. So, I, a 46 year old man, just sat on my couch and cried for 30 minutes and listened to it over and over. It still makes me so sad but also makes me think of my wonderful mom. Props for not interrupting this emotional masterpiece.

I have to say, Adam, you are one of the few "reactors" I've seen who does justice to beautiful music like this. You're insightful, honest, and apparently as emotionally open as I am to music. You're a delight, and you deserve all the success you've enjoyed in the last few months! Much love.

This is a song so intimate and private in her sorrow, you almost feel like trespassing when listening. But for everyone with an unreparable grief in life this is real comfort. The perhaps only real comfort. I am so grateful to her for sharing this. And to you, Adam, for sharing your reaction. Profound!

Aurora reactions are basically try not to cry challenges that you always fail

Why have I never heard of this song?? It's beautiful

This song gets me everytime

I couldn't imagine Aurora's hurt when writing to this song 🤧 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍❤️

Thank you everyone who requested this one because I hadn't heard it before now. Also thx Adam for putting yourself in a vulnarable position

Oh man... I've been crying and processing this for a few minutes, I recently discovered this song and all the meaning behind it after listening to it a few times I reached out to you and found your reaction, sincerely I feel that you genuinely like her and understand with empathy it's not just a random person's reaction to random song, you really like it and that makes all the difference, your closing thoughts are proof of that. How is it possible... How is it possible for someone to translate feelings into letters that way, of course I don't know what she went through with that loss as you said it's personal for each person but, even so... I could feel it. Every time I keep surprising myself with this magnificent artist.

Her individual pain and loss transformed into a universal, a hymn. Your commentary is so to the point, respectfully I acknowledge your humanness and hope that says not too much . Thanks.

Losing a friend can be soul crushing and Aurora makes you feel it in the most gentle way possible.

This is one of Aurora’s children (songs) that will be always in her heart (and now ours). Beautiful little angel.

OMG I HAD NEVER LISTENED THIS SONG IT'S A VERY YOUNG AURORA THIS IS SO POWERFUL WHAT A LOSS OMG SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT AURORA OMG

I lost my brother, my best friend. I’m so very sorry Aurora. I still wake up in sweats and Panic Attacks. I have to Thank her for this song that came from her soul and heart. I’m sending her hugs and so much love. Thank you for reacting to it. 💙💔

This is the most soulful and heart wrenching song. I can feel her grief. Its astonishing.

My tears started to flow 10 seconds in of her voice. she can project emotion in a beautiful way. Much Love to all.

Aurora Always hits me in the Feels....Love You Aurora...and Thank you Adam.

This song is pure beauty....just amazing..

Death is a part of life, but love makes life so better,

What a beutiful and heart breaking song and yet she celebrates her life in song. What better way to show how much you love a person than to write a song which will last forever. I cried buckets listening to this nd I haven't heard it before. Simply lovely 😢❤️

What a wonderful thing to be remembered so well. I suppose everyone in their life wonders if something happens to me, who will care, who will understand what I was about. Who would put this kind of effort into remembering? Aurora proved herself to be a true friend. That says a lot about the measure of a human, and a friend. And I am sorry for your loss Aurora.

Beautiful song. Whoever put that video together did an amazing job.

First time hearing this song and I it absolutely wrecked me.

That song wrecked me on emotional level so badly, like no mercy. I never have cried because of a song so bad as during this one.

I cried right along with you. Thank you for sharing your honest emotions along with this beautiful song.

Wow... I have never heard this song. Seeing you cry makes me want to send you virtual covid-free hugs! Ugh... emotions are so hard. During this pandemic I have witnessed a lot of death second/third hand. None of my loved ones have passed, but I have friends that have lost loved ones and this song brings up so many emotions. Aurora's voice is so amazing, and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into her art. Thank you for introducing me to a song I'd never heard! I'm a huge Aurora fan so I don't know how I haven't heard about this song before.

This song breaks my heart but heals my soul. Thanks for your reaction man! .. hugs

Why I haven’t heard this before, it gorgeous! I didn’t even know her best friend was dead.😔 When you said that this song is dedicated to her past friend, I become emotional right away and I started to cry a little.🥺😭❤️

Thank you for introducing us to this song. It has made me cry. I identify with your reaction.

I haven't heard this song before and I was so mesmerized that it was only after the song had finished, I noticed that I was crying 😢❤❤❤

Things got too real. You have an amazing channel please never stop

Ohhhhh... what a treasure. Love it

Thank you Adam. Thank you.

Aurora floated thru the hole in my soul left by my wife Ruth (55 years) She passed 3 years ago , like yesterday.

I'm sitting here sniffling, while waiting for you to pull yourself together. Once more, she wrote our universal ache into the most beautiful music. This is from the Aurora Wiki fan site: "Why Did You Go a Place? is an unreleased song by AURORA that was performed for a private concert. About the song: AURORA dedicated this song to a friend who died from a car accident in 2014. She sang this song at her funeral. She's said the following about the song: "It's important for the song to cry. That it is reminiscent of grief while it can relieve a little. This song is {NAME REMOVED FOR PRIVACY}'s song. And it always will be. I only had her in mind when I sang it in, thinking that a small part of her is in it if you listen extra well. "[1] [1] A post the mother of the friend posted. The link will not be shared here for privacy reasons." I wonder how it even came to make its way into cyberspace. But since it has, it does, as you said, so completely speak to what everyone must go through sooner or later. So simple, yet so very complex. I was super touched to read a comment here that Aurora herself decided to let the song stay because it has helped so many people.

Wow, simply wow. Well done, love it. Tears are falling down...never stop reacting to her. (If u want, react to In The Night and Animal, cover and single by her)

I also have that same feeling with her voice. It hits me straight in my soul. Such a emotional song... 🥲

First time hearing this. My soul never listen closer .

I’d never heard this song before either. 😢 Thank you, Adam.

How have I not heard this song before. So beautiful and full of emotion. Thank you for this reaction.

That was very heartfelt Adam! Beautiful words.

A very honest and heartfelt reaction on a heart rending song. Didn’t notice when the tears started rolling .This was the second time I listened to this song after months. Was there any way I wouldn’t cry? 😔

Hey Adam, I reacted similarly. Stunning and heartbreaking, nothing else to say. I appreciate this video, thanks for doing it, made me relive this incredible song.

Such a moving, powerful song. Gut wrenching, yet so beautiful. I was also trying to keep it together. Wow!

Thank you Adam, sweet and touching reaction. I Love this song and yes I cry when listening at, it is heart broken to feel this painful sadness in Aurora's voice and it speaks to each one of us, specially to those who have lost someone important.

Oh...I was crying with you the whole song...💙🙏

I had never heard this song and really love it, thanks for posting Adam! Even if you don’t create a video reaction, I think you’d enjoy Under Stars. I’ve found Aurora’s imaginative language and honesty regarding death and loss to be very therapeutic, particularly recently. Wishing you the best! Also, just remembered, the live version from Nidarosdomen is lovely! ;)

I remember my grandmother with this song, it's so hard for me to listen to but it's beautiful, when she died I was far from her and I felt like a hole in my chest, that was the moment she passed away, I mourn her loss every day and as AURORA says, heavens had a new angel for me and my family. ❤️ I really like this reaction, please react to FORGOTTEN LOVE, sorry please if I bother you, and you must listen to ENCRYPTED LOVE. ❤️🙈 GREETINGS FROM MEXICO.

an incredibly deep song. emozionel over a bump. uplifting statement. simply beautiful and moving. hope my english is understandable. thanks for your reaction .....

super super super super superX1000 love this song , one of my soul songs

I have been watching your Aurora video reviews . I am a little late but I do like your videos . keep em coming sir . thank you for this channel .

I still visit this from time to time Adam. More than 3 years later. Love from Norway man.

En gang Aurora (Once Aurora) is a 52 min documentary which shows the "other" side to Aurora. You should definitely check it out. I had the same reaction when I first heard this song. Still has that profound impact even now🐛

Thanks for reacting in the most honest way possible to this unique and very private revelation from Aurora to her deceased friend. The fact it is out in the public is something I have a hard time with. I don't actually know if Aurora or her friend's family agreed to it. But it is and it can't be changed. Still it is a very comforting message she brings. It can comfort so many of us. She delivers her message on delicate butterflywings. So vulnerable, painfully true and full, full of love.

Thank you for reacting ! I talked to you about this song awhile back. It means so much to me. I found this song when my aunt passed away from cancer. This song will always make me think of her and my family. Love your videos

What a beautiful and moving reaction to this touching song ❤️❤️ I really hope you one day will see her live 🙂🙂 Until then, stay safe 🙂❤️

Thanks for posting this. Someone I deeply respected and admired died yesterday, and this song hits hard. Thanks for another AURORA reaction.

Somehow I missed this song. While sobbing through most of it, it was your reaction that helped bring me back down to earth. You are very eloquent and genuine. I truly appreciate you. I'm going to go cry myself to sleep, hopefully. I hope I can sleep soon. It's been the only reprieve...

I tear up everytime to this song,such a powerful emetional song❤️

Aurora Paints Masterpeaces with her Music

I have never actually heard this before. Very emotional.

It is a very deep song... Oit touched me too

Such a beautiful song!! 🇦🇺

This reminds me of Mr. Cohen. Composed and performed beautifully.

If you want to listen to more Aurora covers, the one where she covers David Bowie - Life on mars, is truly beautiful.

A friend of mine sent out a text to a group of people that I was a member of, giving the date and location of a funeral for an ex girlfriend of mine that I knew from High School. I had no clue how she had died. I was just talking to her 2 weeks before but nobody had let me know anything till that text. But I had no time to figure it out. I had to rent a car at the last minute on a weekend, in Brooklyn and drive to Pennsylvania as quickly as I could. Very expensive! When i got there it was almost over. There was just a jar with her ashes so I didn't really feel like I could say goodbye. I went up to her son and asked him how it happened. I found out, then and there, that she killed herself. (I won't tell you how) - I wish i had this song to help me drive back to Brooklyn alone. At least I have it now, on repeat, till i can't cry anymore.

Hey my friend. As a Norwegian iv never heard my queen live, but naybe we meet in Germany next june

A beauty this song. Its much like Susanne Sundfør song; - When the Lord Lene was a friend of Susanne. Just as Haunting.

Hello Adam ,I subscribed to your channel almost right away because of ypur Aurora reactions.She is so amazing! I I had never heard this song till now ,thank you for such a heartfelt reaction. I have recently discovered London Grammar.I have listened to everything I can find on you tube music.I was wondering if you could react to something of theirs and maybe give some updates if you can about them. Thank you Adam.I am from Virginia, United States.

I‘m thankful for your honest reaction. The first time I heard this song it got me in a similar way. I would like to see a reaction to Auroras unreleased song „All my Demons greeting me here as a friend“. There are some great live performances from back in 2016: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epx1dsSIt8XUmZ8.html

❤️

Also who else would love to see a combo reaction of different versions of the same song? For example: Murder Song Acoustic Version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLqnl6qDrdKZfas.html) Studio Version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/etZ1hpOVv66qZHk.html) Alternative Version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7mpmcqivc7HYKM.html) Piano Version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpykY62klquconU.html) Live Version (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbepksmT17XRnmQ.html)

I'd never heard of this one. I'm glad I'm going through it with you. [edit] Thanks for the company.

Thanks so much Adam 🙏

Just, Thanks !

❤️ love your Aurora reaction 🙏 I think it’s the only way to let her in- and follow her were she takes you. . ... another Norwegian musician with the same caliber- but different is Susanne Sundfør. Promise you will not be disappointed. Thy “ When the Lord” who have a very special history. Stay safe- best from Auroras hometown Bergen ( and yes I cryed) ( don’t like Jordan)

You did better than me…. I’m in a puddle

😢😢 Ty!

Been a fan of Aurora since I first discovered her only about six months ago, and so far has never disappointed me. Seen a lot of reactions to her material, but you are one of my favourites and I've been a subscriber for a little while now (congrats to 3000 subs by the way). I think I've mentioned this in another comment, but I would love for you to react to my favourite Swedish artist Ionnalee (real name Jonna Lee), or her band Iamamiwhoami (pron: I am. Am I. Who am I.). Not much live material available, but both have made some stunning videos. It's difficult to know where to start, but I think "Samaritan" would be a good place to start (takes a little while before the music starts, but be patient... ;)): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbyHgr2i2K_Rj2Q.html

Imagine a duet between two Norwegian princesses, the other being Angelina Jordan.

Please the next one "Awakening" pleaseeee

🦄💖

Yes!! A unreleased 🙏🏼
