When this song was released in 2015, Aurora was 19 years old, Billie Eilish was 14. Billie Eilish was supposedly inspired to become a singer when she saw Aurora's video for "Runaway".

Actually one of the reasons Billie became an artist is because of Aurora. Billie loves Aurora and her music, that’s y they sound so similar. Aurora is a gift from Mother Nature. You should definitely check out her live performance of “through the eyes of a child” and “murder song”. One of my fav live performances of her. Can’t wait for more Aurora content from you :)

Funny you should bring up Billie, here is what Billie told Vanity Fair : “When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video,” “Something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”

imagine telling Aurora is the "little sister" of billie eilish when one of Billie's inspirations is Aurora 💀💀💀

You've stumbled upon something special here. Aurora is not like any other artist. You won't find a more genuine, kind and empathic person alive. In addition to that she has this almost uncanny ability to project emotions into the very depth of your soul. But you gotta see her live perfomances. They are truly something special. Hope you keep going with this :)

I think of Aurora as the lovechild of Bjork and Delores O'Riordan from The Cranberries. Aurora inspires many artists, from Billie Eilish, to Doja Cat, to Bjork. They all love her. You know you're doing something right when Bjork is coming to your concerts.

Aurora was almost 19 in this video even though she might look 14-15. Aurora is 5 years older than Billie Eilish, and yes like you heard from the chat Billie was inspired by Aurora's music video for her song "Runaway" (which was also praised by Katy Perry on Twitter back in 2015, just 5 days after it released). Here is the quote from Billie and reply from Aurora years later: youtu . be / y9tyECALPps&t=133s "Was there a particular artist or song that you listened to growing up, that you like: 'Thats it! I have to do music, because that just spoke to me'." Billie: "OMG, I grew up on so many, so many artists, but I feel like the moment...Actually I was like sitting on my bed, and I was like 12, and I had already started writing music, I just did it for no reason, kind of random, I have a lot of things I need to say, and I did not know how to say them. But I remember sitting on my bed when I was like 12 or 11, and just like surfing KZfaq as you do, and there was this little video and it was called 'Runaway' by Aurora, and I had no idea who that was, and I had no idea what the song was, but the thumbnail looked cool, so I clicked on it. And I remember just sitting there and the intro played, and I just was like: 'Oh! That's what I wanna do', and then it just like, immediately I was just like in love with that whole idea." youtu . be / P_-aEdRG95I&t=643s Aurora: "I think Billie Eilish said that Runaway really inspired her to do music herself, and I think that's amazing cause then Runaway has served the purpose music should serve. I don't like when people say that: 'Runaway made her make music, so it's the song that did everything' Because it did NOTHING compared to....like she and her brother...they have done everything. It's just a tiny seed and they are the flower."

Just for future references, Aurora is meant to be seen and heard live. Her live performances are next level. You’ll be hard pressed to find anyone who puts as much passion and emotion into her performances as she does. Truly gifted singer and songwriter

yeah this is her. she is so unbelivable talanted. i think she was like 20 in this video.

You have just hit Gold dust you have just heard Aurora simply the essence of what the art of music should be all about.enjoy your journey you will never get off.

Aurora is the Best of the best, 26, Norwegian, stunning songwriter, story teller, singer and performer, producer.....you name it, but above of it all, she is a special and very unique human, one of the kind......there's a lot of her music out there for grabs, studio, shows, big ones and small ones, interviews, bz lil lady doing her thing and sharing since 2015.....hey but, too much talk, here's some help so you can know more about Aurora..... your play now ball is in your field This here is Running With The Wolves live, a 2018 gig kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7ukjNOcscuVg2w.html and here, a more recent one, like less than a month ago kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o6ejfdSFvN2zfGw.html Talented and so insanely cute!

That "build-up section" is a really fun part of this song. I like to watch as Aurora changes it up in one performance after another. She uses it as a palette with which to paint scene after scene.

Your in for a treat. Still so much to explore about her. She's one of a kind.

watch her sing 'All Is Soft Inside' live

Aurora is the force of nature. Her music is fantastic! Buildups is one of her specialties. Please take a listen to her original of "The seed"

Hi there... Aurora's sound is very diverse and very well put together (production wise), but her live performances beats the studio versions by miles... just because she is allway in the moment (inside the story she's trying to tell). One commom ground in her music is the way the lyrics are written and delivered (with deep philosofic content and most of the times, with an unique outake on life and the endevours that humans have to take to go trought it... one of a kind for shure... take care...

Aurora and her music are both Amazing! The rabbit hole is very deep. Enjoy! She is from Norway, just concluded a tour in the States. This was released in summer of 2015, She is 26 now.

Love her music - currently my favorite artist. Aurora rabbit hole is deep and so many great songs and performances to listen :). And someone on chat was right. Billie Eilish was inspired by a Runaway Aurora song. Ps, And yes she is great live although in my case there are some exceptions when I like how it sounds in album or music video is very interesting. But she is just great live and very expressive which add a lot to the performance. Also she has often several versions and arrangements of her songs (like acoustic, strip down or just different instruments etc)

Aurora live is UNMATCHED, lowkey one of the most talented vocalists of nowadays

Do more aurora reactiooons (Runaway, exist for love)

Hi and thank you for yor fine reaktion. Billie Eilish has AURORA as her role model. AURORA was there first. AURORA's music has a very, very wide range. AURORA. She will pull you into every song and captivate you. Your life will never be the same. AURORA (Aurora Aksnes) was born on June 15, 1996 in Stavanger, Norway. She is a singer, songwriter and producer with a style all her own. AURORA's songs always have a strong message. Often the messages are not very clear either. They can be interpreted so that many people can relate them to themselves. Her movements when singing are extraordinary. This isn't a dance. This is her special way of expression. You can also say that she sings with her whole body. Her excellent music, her brilliant voice and her movements. AURORA's live performances are a total work of art. She is often so into the song that she shakes her body or head uncontrollably (--> Murder song, It happened quiet) and need 2-3 seconds to come back. She is capable of transporting feelings because she allows a look into her soul. Her fans call themselves warriors and weirdos. AURORA once said: People tend to believe quite quickly that something is wrong with them if they're not like the people they see in front of them It's so sad that it doesn't take much for us to really doubt ourselves - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMl3bN2F39nNo3k.html - she sang in norway's biggest cathedral - phenomenal acoustics - angelic voice - Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rM5ghrqFu928qKs.html - the saddest love song I've ever heard - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7tdgZl91uDIeYE.html - it's about the rape of a woman - some say - these great harmonies - Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9OEnNSDl8W6cas.html - the song is her way of suicide prevention - The Seed (Official Video - VEVO) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lbOTkrJ-mtWycWw.html - it's about the climat change, AURORAS “Earth Song” - Exist For Love (Official Video - VEVO) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb90ntV7xs-noqs.html - best love song ever!!! - Cure For Me (Official Video - VEVO) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gZdnl8lplriwaY0.html - this cheerfulness of the music - even though she is hurt. - Queendom (Official Video) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rbt8mLuWttHVlGQ.html - about her queendom?? - Warrior (Live on the Honda Stage) - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5mUqaZl2aqtY6c.html - it is for her warrios I usually prefer her live performances. But in these cases the VEVO video is more impressive. I hope you enjoy AURORA. Three important bits of information I found from another commenter: 1. -- In a recent interview she said "well, the last song I wrote is meant for my 7th album.” - AURORA's latest album, the fourth, was released on January 21, 2022. She's already in the planning for the 7th. 2. -- AURORA was a teen when she answered the question "are some of your songs related (on different albums)?" - it will all make sense when I have finished. - AURORA has a plan and we don't know the destination yet. But it is important to know that everything belongs together. 3. AURORA is holding back one song from every decade of her life to release those songs as the last album after her death. Which artist does that? Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany

Aurora is my favorite artist besides Angelina Jordan, both from Norway. Grew up close to Bergen close to forests, where she was inspired by nature. Exceptionally talented singer and songwriter with a beautiful soul. A messenger for the problems in our world. An extraordinary human being. A wood fairy. So many songs to discover. Check out "The Seed".

Aurora is gem. Other Norwegian female singer to check out are Angelina Jordan and Sigrid!

It's still weird for me to hear Sia referenced as the "Chandelier" singer. She's in her mid- to late-40s, and used to be a staple vocalist in the 90s and early 2000s chill electronic music scene. Here she is performing with Trip Hop group Zero 7 in 2002: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jt6okrCoyMzGdac.html She made an interesting career move, and an admittedly very successful one these last several years, so more power to her. She'll always be an old-school staple to me though ;) That said, thanks for the AURORA reaction! Check out more! This is barely scratching the surface on what AURORA has to offer.

Sia is much older than Aurora. She is the one that had someone else dance for her vids. Billie whatever is a pale comparison to Aurora. Her brother writes the music and she sings. Aurora is the whole package and is far superior to both of the performers you spoke of.

Willkommen bei der richtig guten Musik.

If you do any more Aurora, do the live versions. You won't regret it.

She's years older than Eilish !

So I'm signing in yo....looking forward for what may come after hava great weekend

Not much like Sia. Sia has always been using slow tempo beats to make her songs more sad, like in chandelier, it was different, but the lyrics hit you hard.

I think it's an insult to compare Aurora to Sia and Billie Eilish's, Aurora is the greatest songwriter of all time.

American thinks the older and more experienced singer is the little sister because muricah no.1 👌

This song is so fun at her concerts!❤

She is actually 6 years older than Billie eilish

Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. It is a truly magical place you have discovered. I hope your journey here is long and beautifully strange. If you want to see the song that inspired Billie Eilish, check out Aurora's song Runaway. It has over 470 million views on youtube for good reason.

This is definitely a watch live performances kind of artist. It’s a whole mother level!

need to react to runaway now if you enjoyed this. her catalog is amazing

This song is basically about a return to nature, escaping from man made civilization.

Can you please react to AURORA - MURDER SONG (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. It will blow your mind.

Such a good song!!

Aurora is way above any other artist. But always listen to her live. The recording process only takes away from her.

Aurora is different, in all sorts of way. Stick to her live performances, always better than her "formal" videos. The Nobel Peace Prize concert is a good starter, then try the Nidarosdomen Concert.

She’s better than both

It is Billie Irish :) Will you react to more Aurora, year after?

What a disgrace of a video title. Who's whose little sister, friend? Do your research

😊👍

its the other way around💀

Welcome to the most amazing singer/songwriters I have had the pleasure to listen to. This is my favorite song she wrote. Her live performances are even better than her production videos. Please check out her Murder 54321 live performance, and her In Happened Quiet. Both are deeply disturbing in content but until you see her perform live. Will hope you'll do more of her. Start with her beginning Runaway Live. I hope to see more of her with you!!

u should make more contend about aurora if u a type of person who love music , you won't regret it , she pure, she cute , honest , and most like a human among us , I judge her on the whole, not on the way someone has a crush on her

She is 26 and Billie 20 but ok 🤣

You should listen to pink g string by scream queen, shit is wild lmao I'd also suggest worm by ic3peak and religion by zand, total bangers

Billie eilish and sia who?

She’s awful

Escape , freedom , nature and origin , tha's what RWTW is about

Bellie eilish Billie Eilish Yeah she got an idea on what type of music she'll be doing from Runaway song that's a fact on the interview And Yeah Sia Sia She kinda like Sia her hair looks like the Ballet Dancers hair But Her Voice sounds matured than her self and beautiful voice She looks 15 or 16 *Check.her.mv.Runaway* #Runaway
