Күн бұрынAurora once again delivers an incredible performance. It is dumbfounding to think that she wrote this when she was nine years old... The combination of the venue, lighting, background vocals, percussion, organ and orchestra come together in this manifestation of musical perfection.

Wow, what a beautifully worded and accurate sentiment her mother spoke to her. Aurora's message of kindness and embracing your "weirdness" is so important. So many of us feel like misfits, or like something is wrong with us, because so many people in the world make us feel that way. (Directly and indirectly) Aurora reminds us to celebrate ourselves as the innately unique and beautiful creations we all are, and to strive to be kinder and better and more forgiving; of yourself as well as others. She's just a gem, who has a wisdom FAR beyond her years. 💎 She pulled me back from the edge, and helped me see my life differently. She made me realise that I can be at home in my own skin. She was definitely my much needed medicine. 🌻

Another great reaction! Aurora has said that she means lucky in the sense we are all lucky to be here on this earth. Aurora has experienced the loss of several friends, including one of her best in a car accident. She has a very deep sense of her own mortality, but not in a morbid way. More like a profound case of memento mori. I highly recommend watching a short documentary she made called 'Nothing is Eternal'. It will give you some good insights into who she is Also putting in another plug for 'I Went Too Far' live at the Honda stage. It really is one of her foundational songs like Runaway and Murder Song. Looking forward to the next one!

The song itself is an anti suicide (the offering) song and anti depression song (a war inside my mind). 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 (Aurora quote). 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.

I've listened and watched her a bit every day since January and reading the reactions there are plenty of misunderstandings or misinformation mixed in.

What an abiding lifetime memory for those who were fortunate enough to attend this magical event. When simply viewing brings chills, what must it have been like to be there? As you said, simplicity is the key and in Aurora's case it is the accumulation of a range of simple elements - the lilt of her accent, her extremely clear annunciation, her piercing gaze, her fluid (and depending on the emotion, sometimes not so fluid) motions etc - then when the more complicated elements (her views of issues, her way with words, the music, venue, staging, supporting performers etc) are added it is a devastating combination. Sometimes "unique" is over used or not quite accurately applied but in Aurora's case the true meaning of the term is spot on.

This is one of the songs where she has never said what was the inspiration of the song, only kinda repeating the lyric in that we are all lucky to be alive and we should appreciate that and not squander it. But this is one of her songs that Aurora has said is very personal to her, Runaway is another. One of Aurora's sisters is Bi-Polar, and one running theory is that this is a song Aurora wrote about how she saw her sister living with that disease. The duality of a person living with this condition, how in a short amount of time, they can go from happy to complete despair, "a war behind 'their' eyes" if you will, then come out of that, sadly to fight the same battle another day. And like she wrote in the song, some days they can feel too numb to even bother fighting it. What ever the meaning behind the song though, i find the message in it quite obvious. Keep fighting, never give up, it won't be easy, but one day you will find the light at the end of that tunnel.

Love this performance. So emotional, beautiful and mesmerizing. As i wrote comment with my interpretation yesterday under other video I will just copy it here: In my interpretation it is about depression so big it could end with suicide ("offering"). But then this someone feels/saw the light for a first time = found a reason to live and a light/hope in this whole darkness and changed mind. But fight still goes on as she sings on the end I am lucky to be alive with some sadness. But it is sad song with positive message. As even in a darker and most desperate time you can find a light you only need to survive these hard times and it will be better. Also it is mind blowing that 9 year old person can thing about such thing and write something like that. Of course maybe it was polished somehow later but it is mind blowing anyway. She is IMHO unique personality. Thx for a reaction.

Great reaction again, and don't worry will stick with you even if you've done ''Lucky'' :-) Liitle thing that I got to know from Aurora by watching evrything that i could find on her: she started creating music and song to be able to manage some of the emotion that she was feeling, coming from news-paper, or friend around her or herself, she didn't know how to deal with those emotion and creating music helped her, it was her healing tool. She is an empath, hyper sensitive, very intelligent but not understanding much about human, so she does music. Music that now heal us. For her, singning those song is like reopening a little drawer where she put that emotion and sink in it like it was at the start, that is where she is when she ''perfome'' she is not repeating the same song over and over, she is re-living that emotion. Happy to follow your discovering path.

In listening to Aurora’s lyrics with the knowledge that she was so young when she wrote them, has always left me wondering if she isn’t one of those rare people who come into life with memories from a possible previous lifetime. The way she expresses herself as she sings lends to this idea, in that it seems as she’s working out experiences from distant past life and explaining all that she may have learned from it. It’s the music and words are pouring into the top of her head and flowing out through her entire being as she performs. Kind of deep and mystical thinking I know, but that’s what her music has always left me pondering.

Pure, always think this word when she sings. She’s just fascinating to watch but the content of her songs is from someone much older (soul) than she is. I think she’s magical, regards from a new subscriber, I’m hoping you give Diana Ancudinova a listen also as she’s very hauntingly different and Pentatonic are also AMAZING. They do a first class rendition of Bohemian Rapsody btw. Mandy UK x

Really nice reaction/analysis!!! After listening to this hundreds on times I’m pretty sure it’s about overcoming suicidal thoughts and ultimately deciding to move forward with living life. Excited to see your reaction to The Seed, it’s possibly her greatest song. The music video is a must watch, maybe also check out her live performance of The Seed at the HAIK, it’s amazing as well.

A nine year old writing: war....inside my mind, behind my eyes is calming down.... where does it come from? Looking forward to The Seed. A completely different vibe, but with an enormous power behind it. Listen to the details in the lyrics. "..... we are burning our fingers, but learn and forget..... It is more than a popsong.

Not 11 for "Murder Song" but for "Runaway". While some of her compositions stem from a very young age, I think there has probably been some tweaks to the originals. This of course takes nothing away from her very singular perspective on issues and emotions.

Love your way to do these Videos. If you realy want to tear Up, she wrote a Song for the funeral of a good friend, who died in a caracident "Why did you go a place i couldnt follow". Ist unreleast, but there is a nice Version where you can see Aurora being herselfe.

What I can recommend is 'All the soft inside - live on KEXP' and 'Conqueror - live from the tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon'. It is quite a different atmosphere but i'm sure you'd like it :) Thanks for your reaction. I really liked it.

Thank you! It's sometimes difficult to put the meaning together in a reaction until you have some time to re-listen to the song again. Amazing song.

Nice once again, i really like your approach on the songs! The song you´re thinking of is Conqueror at Tonight Show with Kimmy Fallon. When doing the Seed, i recommend doin the offical video of that song first, because it is a very well produced video that builds up on the songs message. Then later you could do a "live" version of Seed from her Haik-concert. I would also recommend doing Exist for love, first the video version. And you should absolutly do some of her covers, especially David Bowie's Life on mars. But you would love her versions of Massive Attacks Teardrop, Imagine dragons Beleiver, Arianne Grande's God is a woman and Beatles Across the universe. And i would also recommend to look Churchyard (Live on KEXP).

If you like bold cinematic music, we need to expose you to some symphonic metal. I'm talking NightWish -- "Ghost Love Score" at Wacken '13. I'm in my mid-sixties, and love them to death. So, don't think they're a band for kids. I've seen SO many reactors say that they had 20 people suggest NightWish, but put them on the bottom of the stack. A minute into NightWish, every one of them looks right into the camera and says "Why didn't I know about this band? People have been screaming that I had to react to them for a year, but I just didn't do it. What the hell?" Don't be that guy. Dive in. Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gL-afM95vKilhqM.html.

I forgot I had idea when you were talking. It's better if you watch the concerts after you do the individual songs because it'll be more satisfying for you and if you already commented on the songs you just going to comment basically the same thing.

I believe this song is about suicide. Before she makes the sacrifice, she thinks of all the people she’s met… the marks that settled on her skin (cutting); but she survives or doesn’t go through it- she’s lucky to be alive.

Well...you have listened to her RUNAWAY...a pure gem...open for interpretations of many kind...written by her at the age of ~ 14 (?)...following this link you will get the meaning of the song explained by herself...in her own words...and also...in her own way...would love to see your reaction to this...you will respect her even more and on another level... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hsVdlKiVt62dZX0.html

I appreciate your sensitivity to Aurora, her music and her lyrics, but If you are trying to suppress your feelings and modify your reaction in any way while listening to her, then you have missed what is - perhaps - the most important part of her message. The "grown man not crying" line, I feel, is conjured by other man who cry while alone, or on the inside while in company, but who think that this is a sign of some sort of weakness or insufficiency, so they pretend that they are "strong" and do not get emotional in their lives at all. Macho at all costs, you know. The part of Aurora's message that I fear you may be missing is simply "who cares". She does Aurora, I do me, and so you should do you. Life is plenty richer and more interesting if you do not waste your bandwidth worrying about what others may think about you. To understand her message makes you a weirdo, but to become a warrior you need to embrace it and live it to the fullest. Try it, you may like it! BTW, great job on your vids, congrats!
