It is so strange how the same song can feel so different. The studio version is full of righteous anger. A warrior fighting for the earth. But this version is so sad and beautiful like she has gone past anger and is now pleading.

Aurora sings the same song with a different mood every time. There's no reason you cannot find your favorite version of one song or get bored of it.

She is definitely an airbender

"When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realize we cannot eat money." - Cree Indian Proverb

I'm crying. This version is so soft, and yet so intense.

Putting headphones knowing that I'm gonna listen to HEAVEN sounds🌼🌸🌸

“I’m missing anger in the youth," says AURORA. "Not the blind rage, pointed towards all and nothing. But the kind of rage that wakes you up in the morning, the kind of rage that Inspires you to do something with the power you have in you… It’s time for us to really fight for her. This is a cry for Mother Earth.”

Just love how her shoes are just in the background.

Applause to the background vocals, too! This is brilliant all together!

I was listening to this and my mother asked, that "Is this from that angel girl? I've recognized her voice."

I must say thanks to Disney for introducing me to this talented singer, her songs are so meaningful

Aurora is like a fairy singing the message of mother nature to human.

My 5 yr old son acts a little hyperactive sometimes, I put Aurora on and he sits down and shuts up and focuses on her voice, I think he's in love 😍.

Aurora is definitely the number one artist in the world today. In performance she is stunning and totally captivating. Her voice is unbelievable. As a song writer she is prolific, and her originality stands out. She is totally sincere, her lyrics are powerful yet sensitive and she is adventurous melodically. The vocal and instrumental arrangements are superb, both acoustic and electric versions. She is such a refreshing human being, totally original and so wise. To me the title, “Aurora” also includes her band who are part of her, helping her to develop and perform her songs flawlessly. I am totally hooked and I try to expose her to as many people as possible. My wife and I recently I had the good fortune of seeing her perform in Sydney. She didn’t disappoint! Graeme S

She is so visibly free, you can tell, she isn’t afraid to sing, and she seems to happy when she sings, dances, she knows her purpose..

She does NOT need auto tune AT ALL. Such an angelic voice, it's like an angel is calling me from heaven. What a beautiful human being.

Best voice of this generation, don’t care what anybody else says 😂

Every time I play an Aurora song loud the neighbours must think there's some kind of strange ritual taking place with my singing along to it 😂 This song is beautiful just like the rest of them by her.

And this was filmed with a S I N G L E T A K E

I love that her shoes are always elsewhere

Everyone who is saying, "this is beautiful," or "her voice is amazing," I hope you guys realize what she actually wants to say. Nature is being killed everyday. Mountains are going bald because of deforestation. Plastics is everywhere bec we are consuming so much commodity. Buildings and condominiums are rising where trees, animals, and micro-organisms should be alive. So, yes, her voice is beautiful and she has a great message. You are moved by it, but the real question is: are you moved enough to make a difference? Will you still carry this song everyday when you waist food, water, consume too much of nature, and stay ignorant of what is happening with nature? She's right. Let us be angry, not only to the business owners who ruin mountains and rivers, but also to ourselves: we have a part in all of the greed and ignorance of the world.

The last part when she closes, sounds to me like the earth crying out in pain...

Barber: Short or Long Hair? Aurora: Yes

Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow, I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion [Chorus] You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no [Verse 2] Suffocate me So my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So the flowers can grow back again 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forgive, nah

Silja’s voice tho 😩 I nearly collapsed at 4:23, this version is truly amazing, more relaxing and more sad than the original one.

can we talk about those background vocals??

if there's one faerie in this world it's Aurora. She's such an ethereal little creature and I cry tears just looking at her lovely self and listening to her otherworldly voice. She puts a real soul into her music, it's like she stands beside me when I listen to her songs

She deserves Grammy!!!!

It is sometimes quite hard for me to go back to enjoying the studio album recordings when her live performances are so strong! To me she truly shines the most when she has freedom against a living backdrop, less electronic intervention. Her voice comes across as more dynamic and emotional and flowing in her lives, I think, so I was so glad to see what she was able to do with this particular intense song. Very affecting. :)

Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh, no Suffocate me So my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So the flowers can grow back again 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forget You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayer Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no

I have been working with childen with special needs for 18 years, I am my self a Asperger/ADHD person. Auroras voice does put me in another world.

I saw aurora in concert a week ago and I've been greedily watching everything i can find of her on KZfaq ever since. Interviews, videos, live shows, and alternate versions of songs she does and performances like this one. This version is magnificent. The way she expresses her heart, the vocals, the musicianship, silja's pure harmonies...Real beauty. Aurora is many things in one. She's a 5' 3" adorable, beautiful, fairy; she's a quirky humorous girl who you want to be friends with; she speaks and acts with grace, wisdom, and maturity about important matters; she's an incredible, inspirational, songwriter, performer, and vocalist; and she's a formidable force of nature with a heart for seeing people and the world healed and harmonious!... I guess you could say i kinda like her!

dear Netflix, please cast Aurora as the OA's twin sister. as you can see, she has already mastered the five movements 🤣 besides, her voice can literally move people into other dimensions 💕

Your voice really bring me to another dimension. 💙💙💙💙💙 Lyric : Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow, I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no Suffocate me So my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So the flowers can grow back again 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forgive You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayer Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no

This song makes me ask myself the question: what am I doing to improve the world around me? Am I contributing to its destruction or helping it to heal? In this song Aurora helps us see that we ultimately cannot escape responsibility. We are the stewards of this precious spaceship we call planet Earth. Can we learn to live in harmony with it and with one another before it's too late?

She literally looks like an ancient princess in History. Love that

My opinion: They are so consistently excellent. One of the (many) lovely things about Aurora, the band, is that there is a certain innocence, or maybe privacy, that is about her music, she/they don't sing about this or that lover who jilted her/them or destroyed confidence, they sing about how [they] are hurt, destroyed, lifted, exalted, etc. by the community of mankind. How refreshing!! Surely they have private/personal lives, but that is just that..personal/private. How pristine yet so deep and connected, personal in fact. Again, refreshing, and INSPIRING ACTION. Although the band is Aurora, I can't assume it's one person, they are a well-oiled non-machine. love them!

Still think that GOT should have gotten her for their soundtrack

shoutout to her bandmates and background singers, they always do a great job at harmonizing along with her voice!

As an avid metal head an self proclaimed percussion circle drummer. I adore her. Her music, both vocally, lyrically, performance as well her personality are ethereally rich with love an soft gentle sorrow. Love it, as an middle aged gent I will say I'm smitten by her aura an yearn to be as young as my mind is. All her music is inspiring, calming an soothing. A true musical gem from the forest of the sidhe.

yeah but how can she pull off those clothes and that haircut, i swear aurora is a God i absolutely love her

These back vocal! My God, they're really good!I love all of them.

Silja’s backing vocals on this song when they do live versions always gives me chills.

She's not just making music She's making us feel the world that is beyond comprehension

Her background singer at 2:27 is so amazing

*Sees the shoes in the background and immediately knows they belong to Aurora* 😂😂😂

I feel like she is one of the few singers who turns up at the recording studio, sings her track and it gets edited 0%. How amazing.

This is so wonderfully choreographed that it's like a music video in it's own right: The blank white background that it starts on before slowly panning up towards Aurora sitting with her legs folded in on top of her box conveys her feeling of isolation, like she's stranded with absolutely nothing around her ("just like the seed, I don't know where to go") Yet, at the same time, her pose suggests something meditative that's peaceful within its sadness, as though she's been brooding on a sad truth. We see a faint flash of anger as she balls her hand into a fist and sings "through the struggle", only for it to then release and open up softly again. As that other comment below suggests "this version is so sad and beautiful like she has gone past anger and is now pleading." Then as she sings "I unravel myself in slow motion" we start to see her begin to really move and open up now. As it comes to the chorus, this camera that's been so close and claustrophobic slowly starts to move back. And when the chorus hits, it's soft and quiet, despite the build up, suggesting this same 'balling of a fist only to softly let it go' feeling. We see more of Aurora's body again now though, and she cradles her legs in a tight hug, rocking herself slightly as she signs the sad truth: "you cannot eat money, oh no." And then, as the second verse begins, we really see her open up and climb down from the box. She's moving much freer now, having sung that sad truth, and she stands next to the box with it like a table she imagines flowers growing out the top of. It's as though the box is now the seed; that rather than being the lone thing she's trapped upon, she now able to at least try and find a way to help it grow. Then, as the chorus comes round a second time, the camera pans to reveal the rest of the band: Aurora's not alone and isolated anymore. There are others who feel the same as she does, who share this grief and care for the seed, and now they sing with her. Aurora seems to become more energetic and empowered. Then, as it gets into the bridge, she makes eye contact with the camera/with us for the first time. Drawing very close with her head raised up and her hand to her throat as though to gesture that we have been suffocating her. "feed me sunlight, feed me air, feed me truth and feed me prayers" becomes her direct call to us. By the time the final chorus comes in, the camera's zoomed out much more so we can see all of Aurora now, she's much less trapped and isolated. She dances incredibly expressively, there's some sense of hope in this, despite the sadness of the truth she's telling. There's a sense of things picking up, of the seed having hope of really growing now. However then she falls to her knees, almost begging, praying because hope is a start but it's not enough. She makes eye contact a final time now at the very end, on her knees, begging to us for our help. Then she closes her eyes and falls silent. The song ends. Masterpiece.

Woman playing the guitar does the job.

I stumbled upon Aurora a few days ago... such an amazing discovery! Every song is so beautiful and strong. Love it

The Most Pure Magic...

*HOW CAN SHE BE SUCH A TALENTED ARTIST*

She has a cold , that makes her voice even more charming ..

The band and her hit a different part in people’s hearts that other singers of today only brush over. The pure rawness and honesty heard in their music is so sincere and makes me believe there is hope for humanity.

Her live performances could be the studio versions, they are that perfect.

"The Seed" Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh, no Suffocate me So my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So the flowers can grow back again 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forget You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayer Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no

Props to the background singers, you sound fantastic! Also obviously, Aurora too

we truly need the acoustic version of the seed 🌱 thank you for making this song 💕

Aurora is so special. I am so glad I found her.

I was listening to this song yesterday i just realised that she's singing this as mother nature grieving.

This is the song that should have been at the end of David Attenborough’s Our Planet not that Ellie Goulding song, so much power in the lyrics

She feels everything she sings, its so honest and pure, such a natural story teller... beautiful ;)

This song is a masterpiece, an Earth hymn that should be sung by the entire humanity, congratulations Aurora you are doing a great job I hope your message in your seed will grow strong.

She is so beautifully elegant. Im just lost for words everytime i hear her voice. I can't cry, scream, smile , she's captivating. She is the keeper of my soul. I've never ever ever in my life have i ever been so stuck. She is an angel. From the heavens to my soul she speaks to me. Wow just simply wow. Aurora please please please don't ever stop being you and then sharing that to the world. When i watch your videos i feel as if your speaking to me. My hate and destruction turns to love and passion. I couldn't have found you at a more precious time in my life. You saved my life.

Designer: Which type of fabric cloth should i make for you? Aurora: Yes.

She's so underrated omg she deserves more appreciation

She understands life, death, sound and dance. What else can I say?

She's just magical. I love how she perfectly aligns her body language with her emotions and her voice.

These live performances are so perfect. Everyone completes the sound and does such a complimentary job with one another.

Jesus. I just discovered this artist. She is a perfection.

she makes me be who i always was without fear, without prejudice, without anxiety

I seen her live in Auckland, march 2023. It was phenomenal, her on stage energy is captivating and contagious. Also had the absolute pleasure of meeting her after the show, it was intimate, with few people, and she gave time to all of us. She really is, as genuine and as lovely as we see online. Thank you Aurora 💜

i was floating in this universe, lost, desesperate, and i found you, like a beautiful island, at first i thought "it can't be real" but yes you were, and now you are my source of motivation and inspiration. you inspired me in a way that i didn't think it was possible, you shattered so many negative beliefs about me and the world around me, and made me believe that things can be better. You gave me the strength to be a WARRIOR. thanks for sharing your many gifts with the world. thanks for being so brave and focused yet so kind and caring. thanks for opening your heart to everyone. thanks for fighting for our mother earth. thanks for being a loving, magical and humble being. thank you for be a beam of light in this life that sometimes is all dark. I wish you the very best, keep growing, keep growing so everyone have the chance to feel you, and feel themselves.. so they can open their eyes and feel the world as beautiful again! Some greatful human

She truly lives “in” the song.. feeling it to it’s fullest which is what makes her such a brilliant artist.

My baby boy Ivar loves this song, i use to play it alot when i was pregnant and everytime i play it now he smiles or stops crying.

This is now, officially, one of my favorite group…..Aurora Aksnes has the voice and spirit of an Angel

even though her voice sound sick but still spreading perfection... unbelievable

From time to time comes an artist who is very unique and special that they present work this is of the boundaries of all things that have all been tried before. They bring something totally new in artistic expression. Aurora is such an artist. Not only does she create great work in the studio but it is in her live performances in the usage of body language, vocals and facial expression that makes her an extraordinary artist. Even in her interview we know it is a gentle soul who is talking to us. I now believe in angles because with Aurora I have seen one. :)

However way she sings this song it somehow always manages to bring me into tears. Anyone?

She is so beautiful. Like she is literally the meaning of the word .

Really loving Magnus' background vocals in this. His contribution is low-key but integral.

If this girl ever recorded some rock or heavy metal song, I would be the happiest guy on this world. :-)

I got goosebumps from this performance

I'm glad to see this wonderful girl discovered with you angelic, 2 years listening to her the best.

I want to say many thanks to the backvocalist too. You are also original flower.

she's grammy worthy.

I want to live in her head She seems to have more interesting and mesmerizing universe in her mind than the one we are living on

I always listen Aurora but recent times I'm obsessed with his live performances and documanteries. I'm sure right now she is not human. I don't know what, but she can't be human. I'm a very lucky person I live with this woman in same century and see her performances.

Your live videos just make the songs 10 times better than the studio! Truly talented! I wish there was an album just for your live performances. They are truly memerising!

Addictive song. It's been playing in my head since I first heard it 3 days ago.

Beautiful ensemble work , my favourite version . 💕🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌱🌱🌱🌿🌿🌿🍀🍀🍀xx

Her voice is so majestic!

@1:40 "Just like the seed, everything wants to live!" I feel blessed hearing her belt this, so sublime.

I love the fact that they don't play one song the same way...every time it's new, and every time it's so beautiful! Creation and inspiration is everywhere here ~ Love it ☀

The way she moves and gets into her music and just forgets she's singing to anyone but herself is really beautiful, what a talented woman.

You and your backup singer(s) have the most amazing chemistry.

>Beautiful voice and no needs autotune >meanful lyrics > QUEEN AURORA

Last part is incredibly amazing. When I listen this my eyes are tearing

One of my favorite videos of all time

All of her outfits are always 🔥 af🥺❤️
