i am 78 and been into music since age 6 and have heard the best of the best across all genres from jazz to blues to pop to gospel to opera to country to you name it. has never been anyone like Aurora. She can evoke emotions from a rock. wrote Lucky at age 9, Murder Song at 11 and Runaway at 11 and the messages are powerful because she is so powerful in her beliefs and her desire to make us all better as people and to make certain the planet surives. She is haunting mesmerizing angelic and so so gifted--- writer singer-- arranger-- composer-- choreographer and for me, a Messaanger from someplace I know not where. Noone like her. Never has been. What a GIFT for Mankind.

You need to watch this whole concert, it's a Masterpiece......welcome to Aurora.

She is using a very old vocal tradition called "kulning". Locally we may call it "lokk" or "steving" etc. It is deeple embedded in especially Norwegian folk music. But you also find it in the Swedish counties bordering to the current (!) Norwegian-Swedish border. Yes our old common history is older than the invention of borders - and is also complex after borders were invented - and to the present day, we simply do not bother about that border at all (unless a pandemic is going on). On top of this, Scandinavian folk-music has always been rooted in "dorian modes/scales". So yes - you may get a tingle here of medieval chanting structures. Or Irish scale movements. The thing here - I do not think Aurora has studied deep-time traditional music - her songs can be played on a piano in the modern piano-octave set up. But there are hints of pre-modern traditions (like the 5-note (pentatonic) systems) because she is accenting notes selectively. It makes it feel "ancient" or "tribal". Or it may even make it sound jazzy. To me she sounds like she is subconsciously pulling her compositions from age-old traditions and integrating it with her "pop-music". Our traditional music has pre-medieval roots. Way beyond the comedy show or someone singing a medieval "ballad" these days. Interesting fact. AHA - peak 80's perfection sadly mistaken for a boyband - when Morten Harket goes up to the AAA - then slightly higher A-dropping down to AAA again in that tickle - there is their Viking roots vocally (they do it all the time). While they also play with Dorian scales a lot. If you listen to "take on me" and play the chord sequence - it is actually a sad song if you play it slow by the dropping chord sequence. A better example of Scandinavian pop music is ABBA. Listen to "The winner takes it all". It always amazes me that Americans use that song as a victory-song based on the title. They are not using kulning as song-technique - they are instead splitting the harmonics of their two sensational lead singers. While they drop the modes deeper and deeper into dorian modes. Creating a massive conflict that Scandinavians have used forever. Play "winner takes it all" on a piano - and discover how the musicality makes it sound like a loss. Bitterness. Acceptance. It is only the pop-production and text that makes it sound like an anthem of victory upfront. Black metal bands are exploring the same contradictions up here. Even good electronica composers like "Biosphere" or "Røyksopp" as more mainstream example - there all these really old musical solutions embedded when you listen to "Poor Leno" and dancing away at a club party a couple of decades ago. On the lyrics of Aurora. She is an empath. So it is hard to link her lyrics to her actual experiences. I do not know what made her write 5,4,3,2,1 Murder Song. It is clearly not about her own experience. She is clearly not seed when singing the Seed. In "through the eyes..." she ends with a plea of not being left alone. In "Queendom" and "A different king of Human" she is making space for every one lost to come to her/mothership. She is an empath. If she comes up with a new song called "solar system" and in an interview say that she was inspired by a dream where she was in an egg trying to hatch - so it is. Empaths work that way. It is definitely not logic - but somehow it is valid. Cristopher Nolan for example. Most likely an empath while he shows us how dream/time folds upon itself. Clearly not anchored in physics - but an emotional interesting experience. Maybe Aurora is lyrically soft science fiction? She sure does Bowie's Life on Mars with a lot of love also vocally.

She is the most perfect human ever created. Not just her outside beauty but her beautiful soul. Amazing combination of beauty and the voice of an angel and she can reach you with it all. I watch her perform this song everyday.

Emotional sorcery. Magic is real here.

Aurora is from Norway, just like Angelina Jordan. Something in that arctic air maybe :)

Her fans are known as her "Warriors and Weirdos" and she is our Queen. She is from outside Bergen in Norway and I believe she is 24 years old.

Never out of fashion: Jeans. Btw: I love Aurora. ❤️

I’m so glad you discovered Aurora. Her lyrics reveal a deep understanding of humanity and nature. Her voice is absolutely hypnotizing. Aurora said in an interview that she gestures so much with her arms and hands because her mouth was just too small to express all the feelings she has inside of her when she sings. I loved your reaction to this young and magical artist, please do some more!

Schnell we should just move to Norway. There must be something in the water which comes from the melting glaciers. Maybe we could sing like Angelina or Aurora if we lived there LOL. I was fortunate to visit Norway in the summer of 1972 and it is such a beautiful country. Like Angelina, Aurora takes the listener to a special world. Stunning. Congrats on 20k subscribers and wishing you continued success. Make it a great weekend. Stay safe and healthy one and all.

It's about time you discovered Aurora. Her music is on a totally different level. You have a wonderful smile and I hope that never goes out of style.

Oh, and jeans and t-shirts. Surely they will never go out of style. Too bad if they do. I'm not shifting my collection for anyone! :D Aurora is now 24. She was 21 at that performance. She is Norwegian, raised close to Bergen, lives there now.

You've discovered Aurora. Now you are on your way on an incredible journey.

V-neck sweaters...:-) You should also look at her performance at the Nobel Prize presentation...Murder Song 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

The thing that amazes about her is not only her voice, which of course is amazing but the totality of her performance, her body movements and even the expressions on her face. A natural performer.

Aurora!! Makes me cry every time :)

The Yin and Yang of norwegian musicians and artists are indeed Angelina and Aurora, you can figure out which is which:)

You just entered a rabbit hole you never will be able to leave.

she defines art. She is an art. Highly recommend live performance of murder song 54321 absolute masterpiece

I don't think I've ever fallen so quickly for anyone before.... Aurora is sensational and incredibly beautiful.

Be prepared for many more beautiful Aurora moments as you dive deeper into her fantastic line of perfomances🙂

You: I feel like I'm going to cry. Me: Trust me, you will.

She is such an old soul

Her eyes ....,..,.,,.,.,.,.ICE BLUE NORWEGIAN EYES !

Aroura is a fairy, a wood nymph, from the vast mountains and forests of Norway.

welcome to the Aurora's world.. you will experience inner feelings that will make you want to be better and kind person... run to the woods and hug a tree and enjoy the pure moment of just "being alive"

Aurora is a treasure, a one of a kind. She will often leave you in tears and in awe. She has written tons of songs, only a few are released on her 3 LP's. I see you have got plenty of good suggestions, so go discover her artistry, her poetic lyrics, her voice, movements, dancing, hairstyle, outfit.... Aurora will appeal to your heart and mind and you'll probably be addicted. Love your reactions, by the way.

She can sing live perfectly..angelina still way way way behind her.aurora is a pure living soul with full of love.

Aurora started writing songs at age nine--songs she still sings now at 19.

She is what I think of as an angel.she is and sounds beautiful!!!.

Probably one of the most beautiful songs ever.

Her voice goes in my ears and straight to my soul.

AURORA and ANGELINA JORDAN must come up with a collaboration. I think humanity needs it!

need to see it all. AuRoRa is amazing! best ever!

You can feel the crowd holding their breath. Amazing!

there's such presence of purity in her voice and such an innocence in her delivery. another song you might be interested in "It Happened Quiet"

Aurora is the reason why Billie Eilish is a singer!

Im crying my heart out here...

Music inspires emotion. Aurora's music brings a tear every time I listen. Load up her music and lose yourself for a while, it's a worthwhile trip.

There are so many great performers coming out of Norway right now. Some are singers with fantastic voices, some sing and dabble with composition and some mostly compose. Aurora is a truly well rounded musician. Writing the lyrics and composition, co-producing her music, co-directing her videos, currently playing at least 4 instruments, and lets not forget that voice. I listen to music all day every day, from the great composers, through 70's prog, metal, art rock, jazz, blues and anything new that's not just a product of the industry at large. I believe Aurora is the best artist writing, producing and performing at the moment. Her ability to convey complex ideas in simple verse, as only a true poet can, and her ability to express so much emotion as she performs is unequaled at this time.

Oh, you have a whole lot of Aurora you need to experience. Like - "Murder Song (1,2,3,4,5)" - either the official music video or her performance at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert 2015 - "The Seed" - "Exist for love" - and almost anything else she have ever made :)

Watch the entire concert. It is a beautiful roller coaster of emotion. A spectacular masterpiece.

Now that you’ve heard this song maybe some time on your own check out the VEVO stripped version. It’s absolute perfection

Yes Schnell! Please check out The seed / The river (Haik concert) and Churchyard (Live KEXP) + anything and everything else by Aurora :)

You have seen her before performing with Wardruna. You were captivated with her then also.

Once you discover Aurora you immediately want to look after her, she’s everyone’s national treasure

Try the seed. You will be blown away ❤

Also, to get a sense of who she is, where she came from, childhood etc...please watch "Nothing is Eternal", it's a mini documentary, 11 min long. Aurora is a once in a generation artist, she is Gaia.

You gotta reaxt to "God is Woman" and "Life on Mars" from aurora. They are both incredible and powerful and she plays keyboards in them.

She's such a great songwriter 💙

Aurora does not sing, she opens up so you can hear her soul .......

You have a whole new hole to dive into now. She is so good and you will absolutely love her. Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) from the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert is an absolute must.

One of the purest reactions I've ever seen. Thank you.

The most beautiful thing I've ever heard/seen

Jeans 👖 Levi jacket Another beautiful singer from Norway. Though she is around 10 years older than Angelina Jordon. Her stage appearance is great. And another emotional singer. About every song she sings is pretty in this style. Great Reaction as always Stay Safe ❤️

You have opened the Aurora box now! She is very addictive. One of her big strengths is the variety in her music. All the enduring artists have this skill, painting different pictures in a range of colours and styles of sound.

Norway is killing it with unique female singers lately! Aurora and Angelina are "A" listers (pun intended)

Please....please react to more of her. Let it be the start of your aurora journey

When I heard this in “The 100” I burst into tears. The scene was so powerful and emotional.

The 3 meanings of the verses so wonderfully presented,gifted to us.,human,compassion and being.

She got you! Didn't she? Did you get the goose bumps, tingles, shivers and tears? It happens to us all that hear her for the first time!! 🍾🥂

i m not crying, i only have an aurora in my eyes

Love your reaction to this. This is from an extremely strong performance, and every song from that Nidarosdomen concert is lovely. If you want to really see something different and equally lovely, you should check out Infections Of A Different Kind or The Seed from the HAIK concert. It's held in a forest, and her performance and the shows sound quality is stunning. I've seen some of your reactions now, and you seem sincere and open to really listen to the new songs. I love that. Keep them coming - A little word of warning, if you keep delving into Aurora, you might be completely enthralled by her. I honestly have never seen or heard any songs of hers that I don't like, and it's so with all of those who have checked her out. A true artist. Best wishes to your Channel ❤️

WOW❣💙😢 I've heard of her but never took time to listen she's fantastazamazing thank you for reacting to her I'll have to learn more about her.

Thank you so much for reacting to Aurora. You already reacted to her with Warduna not long ago. This concert was a special one performed in the Nidarosdomen Cathedral at Trondheim in Norway. It broadcast on Norway's NRK TV in December 2017, when Aurora was just 21. I saw Aurora live here in the UK in November 2019. Once everywhere is safe again and proper live concerts can go ahead, I recommend that you go to see Aurora live. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for your honest reaction. More Aurora please!

AURORA just turned 24 years old on June 15, 2020. She is a Norwegian singer, songwriter and record producer. Welcome to the world of Aurora ❤️ I look forward to your AURORA journey. I would suggest Running With The Wolves, It Happened Quiet, Murder Song or The Seed as your next reaction. Thank you for your reaction to this beautiful song.❤️

This is not even my favorite performance but the haunting choral section is so powerful it gets me every time.

She does an a cappella version of this that so beautiful. Also check out her version of that of massive attack. Gorgeous.

They must have something special in the water in Norway!

That song is beautiful😍Aurora is magical. One day you must listen to her song "Why did you have to go" ❤️

You have to listen to the "vevo" version of this song. That one gives you the chills...

Great reaction, she is the best!!! An otherworldly singer, songwriter, dancer, producer. The whole concert is a masterpiece, any songs here would be great to react to next.

Dolores O`Riordan reference, didn`t expect that, but I can see it (:

check out "it happened quiet"from the same show, you will cry for sure

You are so sensitive Schnell Jordan, I love it!

Welcome to the world of Aurora! Whatever song you land on, whichever performance, goes right to our heart and soul. Yes, the Nidarosdomen Christmas concert was super special, for sure. After hearing any of her songs about a million times, I can often get through them without just busting out into tears, but not always. They go so deep. Of course, Through the Eyes of a Child completely destroyed me the first time through. You are certainly not the only reactor to cry on camera when that song envelops them.

More more more more. Please.

Her voice and her being is just so ethereal! Thanks!

If you want to hear something simple and powerful, listen to this exact same song by the exact same vocalist, but the stripped version. This song is even better without the instruments; trust me on that. Seriously, redo this with the stripped version. Otherwise, listen to her song The Seed, the official version, and Murder Song, Nobel Peace prize version. She is Norwegian, and Billie Eilish says that her voice was what inspired her to start singing.

Pls do more Aurora soon! 🙏🏽☺️

Jeans will never be out of style. Great reaction

When I first heard Aurora I too thought she sounded a bit like Delores! (Cranberries) Aurora deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Sunglasses will never go out of style, if that counts. Ok now, thank you for finally discovering Aurora. You need to watch the whole concert, it is beautiful. You can cry it is absolutely ok. Besides Angelina, Aurora is one artist that makes me cry when I listen to her. Next on her list you need to check out her "the seed".💖💖💖

Aurora is Mother Nature Incarnate

Thank you so much for this awesome review. I only discovered her stuff a few weeks ago! She is amazing!!

AURORA is in league of her own, and so versatile! Check out her environmental anthem "The Seed:" either the music video or her live performance of the song in a forest (HAIK 2019)! She is up for a Grammy this year for her duet with Idina Menzal in Frozen II. Her iconic song: "Running with the Wolves" is the central song in the new animated film "Wolfwalkers" (due out in theaters and in two weeks on Apple TV)! Also her incredible song "Soulless Creatures" was performed for the first time live this year with the Bergen Philharmonic! And her performance for KEXP in Iceland is amazing: "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside" !!! She is 24 years old, but started writing music as a young child.

I love your reaction, I've watched your reaction at least 10 times in the last few weeks. I love to see first reactions to Aurora, she is so good and emotional. I do believe she has a "sympathetic" vibration or tone in her voice that does go directly to your heart and soul. The best, THANK YOU.

You got yourself a new subscriber 🙂 I really like your enthusiasm and your real emotions when listening to Aurora. Cant wait to watch more reactions you do of Aurora.

Something that will never go out of style is that smile of yours!

Converse basketball shoes.........never mind the color, fabric or leather.......those will never go away these are icons.......I'm 67 and I'll wear them with whatever, jeans or suit n tie even a tuxedo.....yep soopa fashion momma.....forevah........y yo estoy en Peru.....lando of the Incas and awesome cebiche

I'm so happy to see another reactor jumping into the beautiful world of Aurora! I really hope to see you hear more of her music! You might enjoy 'A different kind of human' or 'Lucky.'

Your first Aurora? Attention, you have just glimpsed the tip of this cute-powerful norwegian iceberg!

I fell in love with her about 3 years ago. Watched this concert about 4 times and brings tears to my eyes each time.

I love Aurora so much!! Please watch more of her live!! Murder song, the seed, and it happened quiet!!

I loved your reaction. 👍🔔 "Through the eyes of a child" is my favourite song in the world, my second favourite from Aurora (and i love them all) is "My heart is a storm", it is in my opinion a powerful song. Greetings from Portugal.

There is a short documentary by Fader/KZfaq about Aurora, it is called Nothing is Eternal (11 mins long), it will give a little background of her. You can watch for yourself or even make it into a reaction =)

Great reaction! She has a lot of mesmerizing performances! Please do Aurora - Lucky (live at Nidarosdomen) :-)

Congratulations on your upcoming 20k milestone...you deserve it...God Bless!

Aurora is my queen! ❤
