Her version at The Current (with Silja) and the one in the forest (HAIK) are lovely too. Softer.

@@jjmail1971 Everything she does is beautiful!

YES. I cried through the whole thing. I really want to see her live ❤️

@@DreamsInWild I have to admit, "Lucky" was the one that got me. The entire show is an emotional rollercoaster, but "Lucky" hits really close to home for me. I also would love to see her live! That would be awesome! I would actually love to just talk to her. Pick her brain for a while. Haha! She is probably the most interesting person I've ever seen.

YESSS

Sir Rex exactly

Eze Z yess❤️

and The Seed!

Or from this world, just a different plane (plain?) of existence. And good on you Sam for a key observation. NO ONE inhabits a song more deeply than Aurora, something that makes her live performances so special. If you watch to the very end of a song (and how could you take your eyes from her really?) you'll frequently see from her a look of surprise as if she's wondering where all these people came from.

absolutely, this is more about understanding the killer, and the other darker side that we never think of. however it happened quiet is a song which came way after this song, and it is more about love and the uncertainty of it. tbh both are songs about love, but they go on separate lines and they have been written quite far apart as well. but yes many of her songs are connected and tell a story longer than one song. its really nice to see that there are people out their thinking and feeling the way i did. thank you

I either read or watched an interview in which Aurora said the only song she has ever really written with herself and a specific situation she experienced "It Happened Quiet." I feel like "Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" is not about using a gun to murder someone, in a literal sense. I believe the gun represents the power this person has over the person whose pov the song is from. To hold that power to someone's head, then to exert it (bang I'm dead). I feel like the rest of the song, is the excuse or story that someone will tell themselves, when they experience some type of trauma, abuse, or situation in which they're controlled.. "they were cruel to be kind, they're were protecting me from all the other screwed up people in the world, they didn't mean it (hes killing me for mercy). Maybe when she says "He holds my body in his arms, he didn't mean to do no harm and holds me tight.." she's saying he didn't mean to do it. Often times, an abusive person will lovebomb and manipulate the abused into being grateful for the love and forgiving of the negative behavior. Aurora said that IHQ is about a relationship she had that had it's happy moments but, behind closed doors, was drastically different and scary. She said this person was so dark and viewed the world as dark place. Because of this, they always wanted to protect Aurora from the outside world, and would often times become violent. She realized if she stayed in the relationship, she'd basically, bleed in this slow painful reality, until there was nothing left of her. I also read that "I Went Too Far" is connected to this IHQ and Murder Song.

@@shelldee4173 It's definitely a metaphor. I took it to mean a painful breakup. Maybe on of those were you even know that you both love each other. But a relationship is more than love; you have to live with another person. We've all at least seen on these relationships where the two love each other intensely but they simply cannot make the relationship work. So this guy is breaking up with her and the ending of the relationship is like the gun that's shattering her life, killing her. And he is doing it not out of hate because he loves her and he's jsut as upset as her but this must be done. They both must move on and end this relationship and so the gun is gone and there she goes.....

I always thought this was about a sick dog talking about his master. got this impression the first time and it sticks with me now.. :D listen to it again. it explains every words. the necessary euthanasia, the unconditional love and fidelity of the dog. the "awful thing in life that comes.." the man crying with his friend in his arms.. .. idk I can't get that out of my head now :D

All song are my fav

Andy Tadikt ohh yes, that live vevo version of Through the eyes of a child is amazing and etheral

Also her cover of Believer too, she sounded like a sea siren

True

as long as you feel good afterwards, cry all you want !

@@noireuxsbox2697 I burst into tears when I read your comment idk why

@@itsj5735 it's okay

Auroras version brings a whole other meaning to the song and you really feel her version more

yes omg

Yes please

Thats interesting theory, I have another: She is an animal killed by a human for mercy, for example a dog put to sleep because of some kind of sick. Example situation from TV series "Derek": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtOihKiCqLPLmH0.html

exactly! she also said she wrote this song so she could understand why someone would take another human being's life, but even after years of singing it, she still doesn't understand why anyone would kill

@@nilmergomino3097 that could work as well. Some folks get really attached to their pets...

@@18Rakas haven't read that that, but I see no reason to doubt you. I know very little about Aurora in general. I know people that know her, but I don't know her or her music.

I love her version. And her version of god is a woman

And 'Believer', it's magical
