Play...... Trying to fit her into a box is impossible......IN BOXES is another good song by Aurora. ...About a serial killer.....lol. Should react to Murder 5 4 3,2,1 from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert and then try all is soft inside from kpex session....completely different artist. Could play back to back and some people would not realize it was. ...June 4th. Will be watching this stuff live. Can not wait. And I'm a 52 yr old 80s metal kinda guy. Even have tattoos of maiden, Priest, Floyd and The Beatles.....and I won't be out of place at her show.

@@bobm3434 In Boxes isn’t about a real serial killer, many seems to think so😉 When Aurora was a child, there was a lady living nearby that frightened the children. So Aurora was certain she had bodyparts in boxes under her bed 😅 But the lady wasn’t dangerous 😊

I would call it AURORA or QUEENDOM!👍🥰❤️ Great reaction by the way 👍 Aurora is something else 🥰 She captured me years ago, and I’m still captivated 🥰 “In Boxes” is a great song, I’ve explained what it is about in the last comment 👍 If you haven’t seen her singing “Through the eyes of a child” live at Nidarosdomen, then you’ve really missed out of something magical. One of her best performances, in my eyes ❤️

"Music for the soul" "Contemplative tunes"

@@bobm3434 That Murder 5,4,3,2,1 song was my first AURORA song... I immediately learned that beautiful guitar part after hearing it. SO GOOD!

Aurora has that distinctive voice to her that makes music very beautiful. This was my 1st time hearing anything by Aurora and was completely floored by her talent.

say it louder for the people in the baaack

Yeah, that comment was unnecessary. I'm a "Lefty" that chose to watch a couple of guys who seem like they're probably into rock music react. Politics had nothing to do with it. I didn't come here for politics... so why he felt the need to alienate me in the first few minutes, I don't know. Well actually, maybe I do know... it's because tribalist politics has so engulfed itself in peoples view of the world, almost as a replacement for religion, it's gotten to the point where people can't simply experience life without constantly looking to pick political fights with others. It's because tearing others down often makes a person feel that they're superior. It's intoxicating... It's a clear sign that the world could use some serious rehab. (Enter Aurora) If tearing others down to feel good about one's self is the only thing a person is living for, then is that benefiting the world in any way whatsoever? Let me ask... why exclude people when you can include them? Why alienate when you can just take off the political glasses for a bit and enjoy the singer with each other and let us see your real reaction to them? No need to keep beating her down for being a "hippy", or a "chick", or a "Lefty". How about building her up for being an amazing artist instead that made you feel something without all the caveats? I hope this guy doesn't take this as an attack on him personally, but rather as a plea. We're all here to watch Aurora sing. What's funny though is you're watching and enjoying a person whose only real goal in her music is to use emotion to promote love of our planet, love of all life, love / healing of ourselves, and love of our fellow man. All things that can improve our individual lives, the lives of others, and the health of the planet. That's all. The more each individual cares about themselves, their fellow man, and their planet, the more hope there is in improving this planet and society. You can downplay that as "Hippie", but you know what I've learned about hippies... they're often very happy with their lives. Most of us have lived lives of constant pain, and that pain has become normal to us. We don't want to change because change is hard, and it would mean we've spent our entire lives on the wrong path. Well... most of us have a lot of life left... we can continue being miserable SOBs for the rest of it and tearing others down, or we can change ourselves and make the most with what we have left. She didn't inject any politics into this song or video. Frankly, she very rarely talks about politics at all. When she talks about the environment, and people, she's often just pointing out what are obviously real problems in our world... and inspiring hope that if people simply cared, then maybe we could finally get this boat moving in the right direction.

I can't speak for Daniel but I do agree with your statement on the environment.

I care about the environment. I just don't like having it shoved down my throat. And typically, I don't like to listen to music for these types of messages. Not a huge deal. I should have been more clear.

@@UnframeofMind Dont look up..

Traditionalists and Nationalists have more right than a progressive leftists to care about the environment of their homeland.

@@UnframeofMind the problem is: if you ignore it for too long it will at some point be shoved down your throat. It's not a threat, but a reality.

Aurora has Definitely made a impact on me in terms of how I listen to music.

@@predfantony23 that's great!!

Same here Hakan. I'm not sure if wanting to save the environment for future generations is necessary a lefty thing. Shouldn't be, anyway. Whatever a person believes politically their children still need clean water, food, and clean air.

@@jjmail1971 It shouldn't be.....but unfortunately it is, at least now. There was a time when ideas of conservation and healthy environment and sustainability were embraced by conservatives. But now? They're so busy with the Trump cult, the Q-anon delusions, and attempting to hobble democracy itself....that there's no space for anything else. Liberals are _far_ from perfect. But conservatives, at least right now, are very very VERY VERY FAR from perfect.

I have yet to hear it but holding out to give a 1st time "non" reaction to it so stay tuned for that

One of my favorites. So fun.

Truth

I completely agree!

@@predfantony23 Unfortunately Silja Sol left around May 2021 (on good terms) to pursue her own career. She has been with Aurora since Feb 2014, except for a break during 2015-16.

Otherworldly is a great word for this song

Thanks for the correction. I can't even imagine doing anything so amazing at 9 OR 11 lol

She also wrote “I Went Too Far” at age 9.

Definitely add it to the list of others to check out. Thanks

I grew up listening to Enya so I felt that had some influence on her music.

The mind is a funny place. 😁

The lyrics that make you think are my favorite. I hate being told exactly and openly what the song is about.

It definitely shows

@@UnframeofMind you should listen "Souless Creatures" you are going to like it

Lullaby? It’s about a complicated and violent relationship 🥰

I love that both of you heard two completely different things in this song... But, I think I agree with Lill on this one.

@@lillm6874 Yeah, I got the context, but it's delivered like an adult lullaby...a permanent one. It's just as dark as rockaby baby...baby will fall.

@@UnframeofMind Thanks for that, but it’s actually what Aurora herself said about it🥰 I actually come from the same place as Aurora, not that it has anything to do with it 😅 But I’m so damn proud of her🥰 I always knew she would be a star, even though she didn’t want to be one🥰 I was on her first paid concert in Bergen, and it was amazing. But she has changed a lot in the way she performs, before she felt a bit lost on a stage, especially if there were a large audience. And she didn’t know what to do with her arms/hands, but now she has in a way let go. Now she moves with the music, and it’s so captivating 😍😍 She almost have no makeup on, she doesn’t have to be sexy to be loved. She is Aurora, and she’s one of the the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen, inside and out ❤️

@@lillm6874 Most nursery rhymes are pretty dark too...lol.

This is the worst compliment sandwich I've ever seen lol. Anyway, it's possible to have differing opinions without insulting someone. Might be a more productive conversation. Thoughts?

If you thought that was a tough insult, you really have never been insulted! I tamed it way down, but appreciate your reaction to the music! I just don’t see how Aurora singing about the environment is shoving it down your throat, that to me is a ridiculous comment!

I never claimed Aurora shoved environmental issues down my throat lol. How absurd. And when I'm trying to have a civil conversation with someone I also usually start with "weak" insults because those are more likely to convince them to consider my perspective.

OK save face my friend, the warriors and weirdos will never subscribe to your channel! Lmao!

She definitely has an amazing voice and a one-of-a-kind personality! I love that her music is so vastly different from anyone else.

You are correct, never heard of Aurora until an hour before we started to record this. Side note: We pre record a lot of reactions in 1 day so no time to sneak peek the songs lol Our rapping for Jesus reaction was another one I hadn't seen before but so cringy 🤣 definitely a must watch on here.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKqoiLSazLvUZJc.html

Actually Murder song 54321 is based on a newspaper article she read where a man was charged with murder for "mercy" killing his fatally I'll, suffering significant other. Told from the view point of his departing love.

@@TheAkal Uh I heard it's actually from a book she read that inspired her 😅.

@@TheAkal Fast forward.. It wasn't based on a Newspaper nor a book. It was a vivid dream Aurora had, so the 2 characters were just made up :).

@@fictionallove_2416 I've recently heard as well. She has quite the creative mind. Party on Garth!

I got that too

That KEXP performance is AMAZING!! :D

Got another one on the way soon

Well, we tried to upload Runaway on our youtube channel today at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLKRqc1inpfXhX0.html but we had a copyright claim not letting us post yet (could be up to 30 days). In the meantime, you can watch it at unframeofmind.com/blog/230-definitely-not-an-aurora-runaway-reaction-video

Runaway has become my favorite since we recorded the non reaction to it. We look forward to doing more Aurora videos in the future. Such amazing talent

@@UnframeofMind there was a special filter added to tic tock videos of people doing various dances etc to this song, last year I think, which caused this song to explode into the main stream world-wide.

@@TheAkal it worked!

I have since learned that, yes.

wrong, that story belongs to "Murder song" :)

@@pudu1997 That was a husband killing his wife to save her from a horrible cancer death. Similar, not the same.

I really do appreciate you not piling on with the text-based beatings lol. I've since wished I would have been more clear on that point. I'm super glad you enjoyed the rest. I absolutely love just about everything AURORA does. She's the epitome of the free-spirit and it shows through her creativity. We have an entire playlist where we definitely do NOT react to music videos 😉. I hope you give it a shot as there are some pretty amazing musicians we've seen.

I'll definitely add this to our list for sure. Always love being introduced to new artists or music so thank you!

@@predfantony23 Really? I'm sooo happy! :D Thank you so much, I will be waiting for your reaction to Kokia. :)

@@tamashii6670 absolutely and looking forward to it 😎

@@predfantony23 Ok, thanks again. :)

Not yet. But you can browse the rest of the songs we definitely did NOT react to here: kzfaq.info/sun/PLk7ATL_80jzbhvWq08SXS4X9pxZ8dzX5N

Honestly, I have no idea what you're referring to

We've since learned that after publication. Love this song, even in all its darkness

Ironically, I love that song lol. Also, I kept seeing her pop up in my feed with some thumbnail of her with funky-looking bangs. Lol. I clicked on one and instantly was drawn in

@@UnframeofMind Yeah I ignored her, thinking she was going to be wayyy out there, hippy tree hugger. Boy was I ever wrong. She is my favorite artist now, and just an amazing human being, if she is even human...lol. Enjoyed your reaction.

@@jamesreese4170She's not quite my favorite, as far as female vocalists. That spot is reserved for Hannah Reid of London Grammar. I'd recommend starting with this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNeYmrtyrLaYeKM.html

In hindsight, I didn't do nearly well enough at explaining my thoughts on it. That really wasn't the most important point of the overall reaction though

My apologies for not being more clear on this point. It seems a bunch of people have taken issue with this throwaway comment. To clarify, I also care about the environment, I just don't like the political nature of the topic, the way it has divided people and sometimes I feel like it's being force-fed to us, in general. Thoughts?

@@UnframeofMind 100% true. Perfectly said
