Listening to her is like going to church.

Aurora is The Fifth Element...she must be protected at all cost.

Churchyard at KEXP. Its a real banger, and live.

I am a 51 year old who grew up my whole life listening to ALL kinds of music.... From Motown, to Blues, to 60's Psychedelic Rock, 70's Pop Rock, Disco, Country, and my Mainstays 70's Hard Rock and 80's Heavy Metal.... And, I totally agree with you, Aurora is ONE OF A KIND.......period.

You have to do It Happened Quiet live at the current. This is not debatable and I’m not asking nicely. .

I’ve lost count of the number times I’ve watched this concert from nidarosdomen it should be a bucket list event for everyone who wants to see the essence of what the art of music should be all about,I’ve run out of superlatives trying to describe how special an artist Aurora is,to think that she wrote this song at the age of 9 is unbelievable,I have seen her perform twice live in concerts over the last few years and there’s no doubt in my mind that she is the best performer I’ve ever seen artists like her do not come that often and at my age of 65 I have no hesitation of putting her in my top five of singer songwriter’s her own lyrics are outstanding they always make you think deeply about life and the world we live in they are as her mother once said to her a medicine for everyone.enjoy your journey lads trust me you will never stop and as for your emotions being moved “your tears are going to flow like never before “my suggestion for a song that shows a more upbeat Aurora would be the song that she opens her concerts with and it’s called Churchyard her live performance of this song at the KEXP with her band is goosebump time plus Bjork was in the audience watching ❤️🍎❤️🍎❤️

”Cure fore me”is a really up beat song that leaves you sparkling with joy ✨🌟✨

It happened Quite (Live at the Current) is the penultimate example of everything that is Aurora, IMO. She sings live, with only her backup singer and a guitar. She is a mature adult that has written a brilliantly deep song and performs it practically acapella. 10 out of 10, must see.

All is soft inside, KEXP 2018 is one of my favorites of her.

Aurora is special and another special singer for you to check out is Eivor!

Churchyard live on KEPX is a favourite of mine upbeat and at the same time good dark lyrics.

Aurora's Anti-Suicid-Song Written at just 9 years old. If you're about to take your life, remember the people you've met in life that you're leaving behind. Remember that there were also good times. Those times have passed. And just as the good times have passed, so will the bad ones passed. Nothing is eternal. You just have to persevere, take one step at a time and sometimes it's a success to just get through the day. But at some point it will go up, then it will seem to you as if you see the light at the end of the tunnel. The first time in a long time and then you will be lucky that you are alive. The last sentence sounds so devastating because the path has not yet been completed. The person is still on the road to recovery. And not everyone recognizes this, because you don't walk around beaming with joy but you can still feel good. What impresses me most is that this girl has managed to inspire a lot of metal fans and win them over. In addition to the music, this is not least due to her fundamentally honest character. She speaks what she thinks without filters and yet always funny nice and never hurtful. She laughs at her mistakes. She is not only somewhere else in her songs but also sometimes in Interviews or livestreams. The girl is so intelligent and very challenging for many interviewers. Your brain just works differently. She has an attitude to life and values that cannot be shaken by anything. When she talks, she radiates such calm and warmth, which is incredible. She talks and you automatically feel better when you feel bad. "I went to far" live at honda stage. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j5hxpMh5lq20o2g.html and "Queendom" (official video) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbt8mLuWttHVlGQ.html Both are more upbeat but lyrically nevertheless very profound and important.

I agree with everything you said.I am 50 years old and music is my life but she stands alone in everyone I have ever heard and I just can't put my finger on it at all.She is so unique and gifted nobody is like her.The River by her is in my top 3 Aurora songs.

That’s just pure beautiful and if it makes you cry, that’s okay. Songs like this is made for tears.

Not that i go to church (ever) but i might if they did away with hymns & got Aurora to sing every Sunday. Pious to the core, me.😇😏

Somebody needs to nominate this woman for a prize in writing or poetry. Have a feeling in years down the road.....she will be recognized for her poetry. Such as Dylan was.

She sang with her band in Iceland soft inside fantastic live and and also churchyard

This was a great concert worth looking at more, the eyes of a child at this one wells me up

Yes, All is soft inside, KEXP. Thank you for your great reaction. See you soon, for more Aurora.

She made it at 9, and finished it at 14.... 9 !!!! I could not colour between the lines at 9 !! ;-) Aurora has songs, like this, that makes you forget to breath... and makes you think.... She has others that makes you laugh and wanna dance, like Cure for me (that has is own dance tutorial) and Queendom. She has songs that has rock elements, and some borderline to country! When you think you have figured her out, she will surprise you again and again... We are getting 9 new songs in a few days when her album (total 15 on it I think....)... I am like a kid at christmas! The entire concert in Nidarosdomen was a once in a lifetime thing for an artist.... NRK (norwegian broadcaster) teamed up with Trondheim Solistene (strings), Oslo Fagottkor (choir), Nidarosdomen (huge pipe organ) and Aurora's band and made this.... The time an money they put into this.... Let us say: the 1200 lucky people in the crowd did not cover the costs... :-) - The concert was sent as a christmas program in Norway, and that is what covered it... :-) - My point is: NRK is fantastic with sound/video/light, and together with the fantastic people they made this diamond of a concert. There is 2 songs I prefer other performances of: Murder Song and Runaway (both I like better at the Nobel Peace Price concert), the rest are pure magic.... I don't expect you to react to them, but for yourself: don't miss that concert... You have to see/hear it....

"cure for me" is an up song, its an inclusive song she wrote when she heard there were still places that did conversion therapy.

WOW! Mind blown... as you said perfection. Nothing more need be said.

If you want Show style Aurora: Try Forgotten love - at Lindmo!

No words “But I know it’s time to let go And I feel the light For the very first time Not anybody knows that I Am lucky to be alive…”

As someone allready suggested KEXP. But it must be from Iceland. She also has been in the studio in Seattle. But it has a much better wibe when she has audience. When I think about it. How many artists have been covered twice by KEXP?

Aurora likes the meaning of her songs to be left to the listener but about 'Lucky', she has stated:- "It's about realizing that you've been through dark tunnels in life, but still walking forward, both feet strong. We are all lucky to be alive, it's an important thing to remember." To see another side of Aurora, take a look at 'Running With The Wolves' @ La Cigale, Paris ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntmferB9vKe9eqc.html

No matter how many times, I've seen this, I'm still OBSESSED 😍!

If you liked that setting "Through the eyes of a Child" at the same concert is a must! Good luck holding back a tear! Also, even though she generally is best live, the video versions of "The Seed" and "Cure for Me" are very different and "bangers"!

Great reaction! For more up beat, please reack to her songs "All is soft inside " or "Queendom " (both live at KEXP Iceland airwaves) suposedly Bjørk was in the crowd for this concert.

ThamesMates you just keep o doing Aurora, there's an immense and incredible stash of her music out there, since she came to the spotlights in 2015 , never stopped sharing her Love and Magic, not once! and she's releasing her last album tomorrow, another masterpiece indeed.......she's the fuckiing Best of the best so I'm starting my 69th birthday with the CVD19 bug messing me up a lil bit, not to much, I'm a proud musician granpa and I feel fortunate I found Aurora in 2016, (not one sibgle day has passed by without her music on my daily soundtrack........so HappyBirthday to myself, and thaks oh Viking Fairy Queen, for changing my life and making me a better human !!!!

Great reaction as always. I remember when I heard Sinéad O'Connor for the first time, it was the same feeling of fragility.

Among artists and in the music industry AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.

Good audio, good video clarity, great production..and thank you so much for not pausing or talking over this haunting beautiful performance by Aurora 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸

I totally agree: "Aurora stands alone" The other great song from this December 2017 performance is Through the Eyes of a Child.

I love your reactions to Aurora and she is amazing🤩. Her song Queendom is a celebration of a song that you should hear if you are looking for a upbeat song 💃🏻💃🏻

🧚 "She's a spectrum of the light" 🧚 She performed this concert to support those of us who struggle near the Christmas Holiday season. She FEELS our pain and joy. And she loves and accepts you unconditionally 💯

No words. Aurora is on a different plane. I had my same favorite bands for nearly 20 years then Aurora came an in a day she was my favorite artist hands down no comparison.

This is one of those, if i could go back in time and watch a concert live moments.

Her voice in a cathedral seems quite apt! It makes me think of the pure peal of church bells. I feel she's got more going on in her voice than Bjork, but for something with maybe similar intensity, Fiona Apple will wring your emotions too. Really enjoying Aurora, more please!

Here are some more upbeat suggestions (Björk was in the audience at KEXP in Iceland, though not seen in the videos, KEXP informed about it in an article): "All Is Soft Inside" live at KEXP: youtu . be / IS2iVcGz_Ok "Churchyard" live at KEXP: youtu . be / nJLuG8c11Gk "The Seed" music video: youtu . be / _Mc_OM5oNA8 Anthem against climate change, rare exception where the music video is more powerful, put a sign over the video to be safe, though many others have reacted to it without issues. Too bad about your Teardrop reaction. "The River" live at HAIK concert: youtu . be / A9AzSOJAag8 "Daydreamer" live at HAIK concert: youtu . be / XH-Pd8hYSoA

The Seed, the music video!

This concert of Aurora's is the best thing I've seen. You should check out more from this venue.

Nee-dah-rohs-doe-men Great reaction, would love to see more.

That entire concert at Nidarosdomen is exceptional! AURORA's performance of multiple songs is just incredible to listen to and watch! I could easily see this as a featured concert on BBC -- it's that good!

upbeat? yesss! you have "All is soft inside" and "Churchyard" both live in KEXP. In this show (Nidarosdomen) in particular the most upbeat probably is "under stars" but this show although is perfect it has slower song because 1. is on a cathedral and 2. is a Christmas show. In other live shows you have upbeat songs like "Went to far", "cure for me" or "the seed" .

Aurora is a siren and I would gladly sail my ship onto the rocks, just to hear her sing. Queendon, Running with the Wolves, and I Went to Far are all up-beat songs. Runaway, and The Seed are just amazing... It doesn't really matter which song you choose next, throw a dart, Aurora doesn't do bad songs.

Nice reaction guys!!! For an upbeat performance with tons of energy I’d suggest All is Soft Inside live at KEXP.

Great review. You want more upbeat? Try “Under the water” live at Honda stage.

You guys are great!! Aurora...Stunning!

I would like to be on that concert😍 The sound is perfekt. Try Haik concert to, or the whole documentary would be nice. Just search for Haik concert or documentary made by NRK.

I'm going to see her in April 😎

You need to view each of her songs here as they are all great.

The most astonishing thing is that she wrote this song when she was just 9 years old.

Aurora IS the music... and she has one new album out, that`s absolutely magic! The Gods we can touch. react to it!

Perfection is the word. Great reaction

Your assessment of this stunning artist is spot on gentlemen. This whole concert is an artistic masterpiece (venue, staging, camera work, orchestra, choir, Aurora's band, Aurora's lyrics, voice, peerless performance skills and her ability to put her personal stamp on covers, plus Aurora looks as though she has just stepped out of a fairy tale or a Botticelli painting). The irony is that the cathedral authorities were reluctant to let the performance go ahead but they were convinced to change their minds and we consequently have a treasure for the ages. If you know of anyone who doesn't believe in magic, show then an Aurora video and if that doesn't change their mind, nothing will (plus they have a hole in their soul). PS Next, either of these two from the magical 2019 HAIK concert, filmed in front of family and friends in the forest where Aurora played in her childhood, 1/ "The River" (about letting emotions run free, written in response to Aurora reading about the alarming rate of male suicide) (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d59xrbaAr6fFl2w.html) or 2/ "Daydreamer" featuring a smiling, dancing Aurora (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jq5dg8dpzb-3n3U.html). Also, here is another northern gem for you, Eivor Palsdottir from the Faroe Islands, "Trodlabundin" filmed spectacularly at a farm on a Norwegian fjord (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdmcYK55rMuYe58.html). Finally a glimpse of Aurora's quirky, mischievous personality in a short Tik Tok clip, put together with a fan, "How To Attract Guys" (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcl1itxosrTHmIk.html). Please watch and enjoy ever if you don't have time to fit them into your reactions.

It seems Aurora mostly put herself in the shoes of whom the story in her songs is about. I think she wrote this song alone in her room when she heared for the first time about "suicide" Here she reflect over how she would try to think before make this act (offer) to prevent doing it. I think Aurora is a born genuin Empath.

This entire concert is amazing. Check out Through the eyes of a child, from it if you haven't already.

Lovely and sincere reaction gentlemen. Love it. This is my favourite performance ever made. No performance i have listen to make the same emotions for me than this, and i have been here for a rather long time now. and i am a big guy.🥳 Thank you. Next suggest stop is a new one the Heathens live vevo also one of her best performance but in a slightly other costume.

I am insanely jealous of all who were at that concert, The worst songs were just excellent. Top has to be "Through the eyes of a child" at the same event. Also the 3 from the Nobel peace prize concert. Always live is best.

Had to subscribe after this one =)

try the whole Nidarosdomen concert man its amazing and hauntingly beautiful and magical... 🤟🤟🔥🔥

Great reaction 🥰 It’s actually heartbreaking that she wrote this at the age of 9 ❤️

Great reaction guys.

I truly love your Aurora reactions. I enjoy your energy and comments very much! I suggest Infections of a Different Kind or Runaway for more of her deep and emotional songs, or Queendom or Giving in to the Love if you want something a little more upbeat. But always, always her live versions. Looking forward to more from you both! Thanks for taking the time to do these reactions :)

More Aurora please. She has an otherworldly aura and talent.

The entire Nidarosdomen concert is a masterpiece, and I think that Aurora should have got a Grammy for it, or a suitable equivalent. Aurora is unique among artists. If you get the chance once the pandemic is behind us, go see her perform live. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Thank you Thamesmen. A glacial banger is quite apt , as there is a wisdom of age, delivered so pure by Aurora. For me she taps into a very primal emotion . Any how , moving on. Through lives ups and downs I know I am lucky to be alive today. Te in flip latus. ( some Latin homework)

Thank you guys! She is amazing and she marks us in a good way! I really believe listening to her has made me a better person! I know, an abolutelu absurd comment, but never the less! Upbeat? The Seed and Daydreamer, both from the Haik Concert, also Giving into the love from her new album that is released tomorrow, no less!

Nice reaction :) ... Are you aware she wrote this at 9 ("refined" at around 14yo iirc) ? ... If you want more upbeat stuff, I'd suggest All is soft inside at KEXP (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7linLmUrODDf58.html) and the funny thing is that Bjork was in the audience for this performance :)

Her interpretation of her songs, 5,4,3,2,1 Murder and Through the Eyes of a Child, are super good in this same cathedral venue. Similarly emotional. which is Aurora at her best. As well, the best music video I have ever seen is her video The Seed (vivo). That is next-level on all fronts, massage, video graphics, personal performance, song writing, background vocals, and of course Aurora's voice.

This whole concert is so very perfect and like you said "transforming"...that I can't watch it too often. It is so captivating that you canno tmiss any of it and like you said are exhausted at the end, but happy. She is one of the very few people that I think is completely free and unencumbered. She is free to express her truth and you cannot look away.

To make you even more happy over NRK's productions, they also made a concert with Aurora and her band, in a forest where she played a lot as a child, near her folks home. It's called the HAIK concert and is awesome, in her performing, and the production. The hour long concert (you'll find the songs as separate files too, I recommend 'The Seed') is the finale of a day of fun and surprises for Aurora in a tv show which is good fun, pleasant, informative on Aurora. Check it out on your own. It is a celebration of the best artists now, in Norway. They've done same with some other artist - Dagny, Astrid S, Highasakite plus some more coming this season. You need check out all those 3 + Sigrid, you won't be sorry you did :)

i love the reactions of yours .... a very much needed perspective

From the same performance….Eyes of a Child. For more upbeat ….. Runaway, Running With The Wolves, River…These are more upbeat in arrangement but not necessarily “happy” songs. Queendom is a happy song. Exist for Live is upbeat. Official videos on those two I think. Soft so side at KEXP The happiest I’ve ever seen Aurora was singing Conquerer on the Jimmy Fallon Show her dancing was utterly free and joyous. .

One of me favorites performances. Powerful message and incredible voice in great cathedral setting. And these emotions... What not to love? :) BTW: she wrote it at age of 9 (and polished it later). Mind blowing.

Great review!!! You want more upbeat? Try “Under the water” live at Honda stage.

Nice one again gents, God, I feel like a kid again every time I see and hear the Thames TV Theme and clip! Best wishes, Rhodri.

To see a much more playful, even aggressive side( if there can be ) of AURORA...the version of All is soft inside, from KEXP is a doosie.

Love your reaction ♥

Aurora is simply the best female artist at present. Cure for me is upbeat, whist The Seed is very poignant. You should try Dimash who is probably the best vocalist in the world, with a huge vocal range. Stranger, SOS and Ave Maria are great. Keep up the good work. Regards from sunny Cornwall

I feel lucky that you've begun to look into her originals. This old, metal-head appreciates her lyrics. Much more of an old soul than her appearance. Churchyard from the KEXP concert is upbeat. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLB8qKppyJeVd58.html or All is Soft Inside from the same session, especially the jazzy breakdown and ending. Terrific! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7linLmUrODDf58.html Whatever you do from her, I'll be there. Keep up the good work and don't forget my Nightwish! Also, friendly reminder, Aurora's new album comes out Jan 21. The Gods We Can Touch. Amazing! An example, called Heathens kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9p7hZqlptOUmJs.html

Her new stuff which her new record releases tomorrow, has a bit of upbeat tunes. She wanted this one to be more fun.

Qeendom the music video version

All her songs from that concert are incredible... pls do them all!!

Now that you guys have stumbeled into her world you will have the time of your life. So much to experience! I recommend In the eyes of a child from the same concert and The Seed ( VIDEO) Thank you for a great reaction. You nailed it with: ‘ she’s sings so pure that I feel guilty’ 👏👏👏😘🌺🌞

As always, your reactions are sensitive and cogent. The live VEVO performance of "Heathens" from her new album brings a considerably brighter and different feel from "Lucky".

Have you listened to her whole concert at Nidordomen? If not, you must. (and all her 4 albums - all the songs her own stuff. )

I really loved your reaction to this amazing performance 🙏💖, she wrote it at age 9!!! For a more upbeat song, I will recommend her official music video "Queendom". The video is pure art🙂 You could also continue with this concert if you want to react to the most beautiful song and performance ever (my opinion) "Through the eyes of a child". Remember to bring your tissues then 😉😉

Try out Auroras "Exists for Love" One of her most delicate songs, and even we old farts will go into "love" mode!

Aurora looks like she sounds.

"Lara Fabian - je suis malade" is amazing

You really need to react to Dimash, "SOS" any version he does will blow your socks off. ✌️❤️😊

… and Churchyard from Kexp live or even In boxes about a woman picking up men and killing them! You get one guess on where they end up! But I don’t need to tell you this! With those titles they have to be upbeat! Generally, you can pick any song of hers and be blown away! (Yes, I know, I have gone completely bonkers)

There are alot of much more upbeat songs in Aurora's catalogue - so far you've mostly heard the slower/sad ones!

A song suggestion a little boy in the grass alive version malogany session understand she wrote the song about the the people who died on the island of the Norwegian coast one of her friends is one of who died understand it was 40 people who died the pain in the motion to this song

It's the total package I guess: the venue, the acoustics, the lights, the choir of course, the looks, the voice, the charisma etc. Well thought out and brought perfectly. Don't know, I'm gonna listen to and compare Björk again (long time ago too) and as compensation the complete opposite of Aurora: Tatiana Shmaylyuk! Thank you very much.

If that tested your tear duct control, try "Through The Eyes Of A Child" from the same concert

Is Aurora her own genre? I don't know that she fits into anything that existed before she came along.

The internet needs to discover you guys, you are just brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing this! 💖 Btw, add me to the list of people who wants Angelina Jordan on this channel. Its an absolute travesty that you havent heard her yet. 'I put a spell on you' (black and white version) or 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (from AGT the champions) are the usual places to start with her.
