A spectacular performance by a 19 year old Aurora !! She has a long list of live performances that are just stunning to watch and hear. Looking forward to more great reactions in the future to one my most favourite artists.
Thank you for watching! There will be more for sure, mainly because I believe I will enjoy hearing more, so hopefully we'll have fun watching Aurora together. 🙂
I think this song is about missing someone or missing family..when you are far away. You are inventing a imaginary life to escape the Hurt...I saw this young wonderful artist for a few days ago in Kristiansand. She was great. She is just adorable and so humble and sweet..We need moore Aurora! Thank you for a great reaction.🎉
Thank you for sharing your interpretation. It sounds more and more like that is the one that Aurora had in mind as well, as you're the second person to say this. Fully agree with you that she is lovely 💕
Just my interpretation: Aurora is not really a 'religious' person and she also wasn't 'religious', when she wrote this song. Imagine a 11 or 12 years old child facing serious loses in it's life (which supposedly happened to Aurora around that time) and missing someone so badly, that almost everything reminds of that lost person ("I saw a face in the sand But when I picked it up Then it vanished away from my hands" and "I was painting a picture. The picture was a painting of you. And for a moment I thought you were here. But then again, it wasn't true"). So it should not be astonishing, that 'she' felt just like a 'runaway child' at that time, but then noticed, that there is a 'soft place to fall' for her (which she several times identifies as her mother's arm) and that in her point of view 'home' was always (and would maybe always be) her parents house.
Oh, I am not religious either. Actually, I'm agnostic. It's just that heaven is so colloquial these days that it doesn't need to correlate with the religious sense of the word to be understood. Your interpretation is definitely far more beautiful than wishing one wasn't alive, so I think I will adopt that one. Thank you!
@@AleksReacts 'Religion' & 'Spirituality' are 2 totally different things that people seem to mix up. I believe in a Power higher than myself, I also believe we were NEVER Apes as why do we have apes today still? It just doesn't make sense. Anyhow. Aurora is a special Gal & Artist. P.S.: I don't think songs are meant to be picked apart for meanings, it's about what You Get from the song.
I tend to pick them apart, it's not intentional, it's just something that I "need" to try to do. The music is one thing, but if there are lyrics I naturally try to figure them out. It's ok if I'm wrong, it's just how I react to them...
Not surprised at all with your reaction, Aleks, since “a bird” gave me a huge spoiler… 😂 But I must say that I’m highly impressed with Aurora. She’s sort of dreamy in the best unconventional way possible. 🙌🏻 Wonderful singer and performer. 😍
Oh, this is great! Now we're discovering someone together at the same time. I couldn't have described her better: "dreamy in the best unconventional way possible." Yes! ❤
Great reaction. Aurora started writing music and lyrics to help herself process her emotions, her lyrics are always meaningful. As she sings her songs, she usually goes right back to the emotion that the song was created from, only a few songs are what you would call personal, mostly what she creates is from observing people, like I Went to Far, that was first thought of when she witnessed someone trying to fit in and be loved and part of a group (I think it is based on school clicks, but I could be wrong), but basically it is just about not being in a relationship that is not reciporated in the amount of love that you give, where they just take. She is my favorite multi talented artist, her voice has matured very much since this performance (about the last 2 years) and her lower register now is so warm and rich and she can still hit those impressive high notes that you haven't even experienced yet. Thanks, looking forward to more Aurora on your channel, hopefully soon.
Great reaction to a wonderful performance! If you're truly interested in the meaning of the lyrics, I highly recommend you check out the video she made for Genius on UA-cam, in which she breaks down the meaning of all the lyrics to this song.
it was released on her debut album named 'all my demons greeting me as a friend', that may lead to your interpretation. but the lyrics are open enough for different interpretations. thanks for your reaction.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it. 🙂 That's probably why I kind of remember it at the back of my mind. I think it's her voice more than what she's saying that makes me feel this song the way I do. Regardless of how it's interpreted, it's quite a wonderful song.
Aha! An artist after my own heart! ❤ I love not knowing in advance and trying to figure it out - I sometimes get it right, sometimes wrong, but that's not the point. In art, for me at least, the point is in personal thoughts and feelings a piece of art evokes. Love that Aurora thinks the same!!! Now I like her even more.
@@AleksReacts Me neither. But if you take it as a series of images and do not expect a coherent story, than your brain has more room to connect it all together in the end. Aurora's songs usually tell a story, but some phrases might come from one character of the story, and some from another point of view. Like when you cut from one scene to another in a video, but in the lyrics you can't see the cut, obviously. But some reactors do not hesitate to go through the explanations of the songs on genius or somewhere to make sense of the song, which is totally cool with me. Some also read a few comments from under the video, which is also very nice and adds another dimension to the reaction. But anyways, this is just my random rant :) Take care.
Thank you for the first advice - I like that one. Images instead of words... I prefer NOT to find out in advance as then it's not really my reaction, it's someone else's. However, I do like to discover later what on Earth I did with it. 😂 Sometimes it's spot on, other times it's a chaotic mess, but that's what makes it fun for me (and hopefully a few more people who watch my rants). Thanks again!
There's a documentary that is very revealing as how she was coping with stardom and how that relates to her lyrics. Watching everything on Aurora as going to see her in two months 😀
Don't try to be too analytical or literal with the lyrics. Aurora is deliberately ambiguous with her writing so that the listener can interpret it as they want. She tends to go for the emotional hit rather than the detailed story although many of her songs are triggered by a real occurrence and written as a 'therapeutic' release ...
Can't help it. Personality set up like that. Someone mentioned trying to imagine images rather than listen to the lyrics - will give it a shot. Who knows what will come out of that chaos. 😂
Thank you for reacting to my favourite artist🥰 She wrote this song at the age of 11, and at that age she didn’t quite understand the meaning of song. But as she grew older the meaning has changed, but the soft place to fall is in the arms of her mom❤️ Could you please react to Aurora with “It Happened Quiet” live at Current It’s a song inspired by domestic violence, she gets killed, and then she comes back to haunt him. Aurora doesn’t write love songs like most other artists does, her new album is called “What Happened To The Heart?” 16 amazing songs😍 “Your Blood” “Starvation” “The Blade” “Invisible wounds” “The conflict of the mind” “Dreams” “The Essence” +++
Thank you for watching the reaction! I do hope you liked it. Someone else said the soft place to fall are the arms of her mom - that meaning is rather preferable to what I came to believe while listening to it... I wrote up the suggestions (all of them) and I hope to get to react to all...
@@AleksReacts I loved your reaction❤️ Oh, all of them wasn’t suggestions for you to react to, was just naming some songs from her new album, but hey, I’m here for it😍😍 Looking forward to the next one🥰
Thank you so much! ❤ Don't worry, I realized that, just thought I might jot them down - saves me from exploring on my own as you obviously know what you're talking about. 😉
@@AleksReacts Well, if you gonna react to the songs from the fresh album, you could as well react to all of them in order, or to the whole album. But only if you really like. No pressure. There is plenty of older Aurora songs :)
Very, very good reaction, Aleks. No wonder you are confused, as many of Aurora's lyrics leave a LOT of room for interpretation. Hence why her music resonates with people from widely different walks of life. Aurora WILL make you feel and reflect, the way art is supposed to do. I saw that you declared yourself as an agnostic (I am as well), but I don't know if Aurora would even call herself that. I am quite positive I have heard her say in interviews that she does not believe in God, and the way I have interpreted it from the way she says it, it feels almost as if she rejects the possibility of a God. I may very well be in deep water here, so hopefully someone will chime in and give their two cents on it. Anyway, Aurora is an extremely complex and highly intelligent human being, and there aren't many (possibly none) like her out there. At least not in her business. Keep listening and reacting to her, and you will peel more and more layers off of the Aurora onion (and just like an onion she probably WILL make you cry at some point). But unlike an onion, I don't think you'll ever reach her very core. Please prove me wrong down the line 🙂 Btw, just the fact that heavy metal is her preferred genre to listen to, speaks to my point about complexity I think 😅 Take care! Much love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥
Same as Ren, she has that quality to make me think about what I'm listening to. Hence, I like her automatically. Also, like Ren, she combines her musical talent beautifully with the lyrical one, so while thinking, however heavy the song may be, you still enjoy it. As an agnostic, which I think is the closest definition of my relationship with deities, I don't mind either way if people are complete atheists or very religious. That is, as long as it pertains only to their own relationship with God that is unrelated to anyone else's (i.e. they don't force others to agree). I've also found that this relationship sometimes changes over time / with experience, so nothing is set in stone. Therefore, Aurora's or anyone else's belief, whatever it be, is fine with me. 😊 Now, the fact that heavy metal is her preferred genre is something entirely different - something I understand very well and makes sense to me listening to her lyrics. I used to listen to the mainstream, popular metal in the 80's and the 90's (my teenage days), so I very much understand that it is often the type of music that prompts reflection. As a kid, I loved the lyrics in metal as much as the music - they're often far from shallow, which is probably the first thing people would think about that genre. Noise and no substance. Um, nope, not really. 😉 We'll keep exploring Aurora together. She's not getting as many views as she should on my channel (perhaps yet), but who cares as long as the ones we share are GOOD. Love to Norway! ❤❤❤
@@AleksReacts Thanks for the lenghty reply. You and I seem to share the same view on many things. My VERY best friend in the world, he was my best man when I got married, and I was toastmaster in HIS wedding, is a Christian, as well as his wife. He respects MY view and I respect HIS. The way it should be, really. And I also agree with you in regards to heavy rock or metal, in that the genre is NOT as shallow as many may think. In addition, that is the genre where you will find the very best instrumentalists I think. AND the most beautiful ballads 🙂 I like the comparison to Ren, it is one that I have not drawn myself, but I see your point. He is an exceptional artist as well, and one that I have been following since he was recovering from what he described as his most difficult period ever. Soon thereafter he released HI REN, which is an absolute strike of genius in my opinion. And yes, I am sorry to see the relatively low number of views and comments to your Aurora reactions thus far, but hopefully that will pick up soon. I am happy to hear that you are not deterred from continuing with her despite that. Other than that, I am anxiously awaiting your next reaction to my absolute favorite singer in the world, our barefoot angel, the girl with a thousand voices. The soul whisperess as I like to call her 😄 I will catch you soon 😊👍
It makes a lot of sense that we agree in many things. I'm pretty sure most of the people who "put up" with my reactions are pretty much both set in their ways and open-minded at the same time, which I think is the coolest. We know exactly who we are and don't have any types of identity crises that make us force our opinions on others. That's what I've gathered from most of the comments all over the channel. LOVE THAT! I don't mind the number of views, I started doing this for my own enjoyment first and foremost. Yes, the channel is monetized - can't hurt. On the plus side, not worrying about views allows me freedom to choose to react only to artists who are new to me, but I find out I actually like them. If the channel does grow, at least I'll be able to promote only artists I want to hear myself. A couple of times I started a reaction and gave it up as it just didn't do anything for me at all... The reaction would be my very still face and no words at all. 😂 Luckily, most of the suggestions turn out to be really good. Thanks for that!
I don't know exactly the full meaning of the song either; but it conjures up deliciously beautiful images. Aurora's performance and voice have fascinated me; it is hypnotic. Nothing to add to the capture of that strange atmosphere. Excellent reaction, thank you.
Great reaction. She prefers to allow us to find our own meanings in her songs. She was raised on Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, despite her youth. Like Cohen, she was and is a poet first, and a pop star by accident.
I really like watching your reactions to Aurora and Lara, so thoughtful and insightful. I discovered Aurora 4 years ago and unlike a reactor I had the opportunity to go back to the beginning and watch everything I could to catch up and watch everything since then. I see a theme to many her songs which she has not pronounced to be fact, but lyrics in her songs “Take me home”, “I don’t belong here on earth”, “If I stay here any longer I will stay here forever”, “ I long to be lifted up”, “mothership to take us home” - seems to me she is more acutely aware that we are spiritual beings placed here on earth to have a human experience and doesnt feel like she fits in and wants to go home. I am unsure if you know this about Aurora, but she wrote songs just for herself as early as age 6 like if she was writing in a journal. As a child when she wrote this song having those feelings - I can see why the emotions are all over the place trying to make sense of how she if feeling.which could explain why the song feel all over the place to you
Thank you so much Kimberly! Actually, what you just said is how I first thought of "heaven" she's mentioning in the song. Simply some other place, not here on Earth, so your take makes a lot of sense to me. The song being all over the place is also fine. To put it simply, for me it was more happy than sad - hence the title of this video. Both times I watched her, it is primarily her singing that is captivating, but it's just fun to pick the lyrics apart as well and try to analyze the way I perceive it. Whether it is correct or not is less important to me. To this day people are still trying to figure out some of the greatest poets and still disagree on the meaning of some poems, but it doesn't take away from the beauty of those poems. Just gives us food for thought. One of such poets is Jim Morrison. 😂 Believe it or not, she somewhat reminds me of The Doors lyrics - none of it really makes sense, but some of the it reminds you of random things/feelings/ideas/real or imaginary places.
AURORA has 2 sisters, both work with her but not with the Music part of things. One sister is a "Clothing Designer" the other is a Professional "Make-up Artist". Which worked out to be a co-incidentaly handy. When Aurora got more famous her 2 sisters talents became an asset to her. None of her two sisters appear in the band though.
Greetings from Scotland! Hello Aleks! For me, there are two completely unique female singers that have no equal in this world, Aurora and Diana Ankudinova. Both totally different and both totally spectacular singers. Both have incredibly expressive body language and the ability to evoke deep emotions within me. I feel very lucky to have been born in a time of such incredible vocal talents.
They truly are, both totally different and totally spectacular singers. 😊 I do have some good news for you and that is that I've decided to mix it up with Diana as well and listen to your latest suggestion (Good Girl). I'd like to hear something she wrote herself that's relatively new.
@@AleksReacts Excellent! I'm interested to see your reaction to that! However, Diana didn't write "Good Girl" it was a lyricist called Damir Nurutdinov amd the music is by Maxim Panteleev, Damir Nurutdinov. However, I suspect that Diana suggested the theme of the lyrics, because it has a feel of herself in them. You'll see and decide for yourself anyway, Aleks. I have a list of her songs which she wrote or co-wrote and she has also done the music for at least one. If you want it, just ask, it is no problem.
I do hope we'll enjoy that one together. I thought it was written by her, but now that I've made up my mind, I'm doing it anyway. Would you my sending me the list to my email? I'm saving Kostas' list there as well and I think I'll likely end up hearing almost all of her songs at some point. Won't happen over night, but I do enjoy listening to her.
A spectacular performance by a 19 year old Aurora !! She has a long list of live performances that are just stunning to watch and hear. Looking forward to more great reactions in the future to one my most favourite artists.
Thank you for watching! There will be more for sure, mainly because I believe I will enjoy hearing more, so hopefully we'll have fun watching Aurora together. 🙂
I think this song is about missing someone or missing family..when you are far away. You are inventing a imaginary life to escape the Hurt...I saw this young wonderful artist for a few days ago in Kristiansand. She was great. She is just adorable and so humble and sweet..We need moore Aurora! Thank you for a great reaction.🎉
Thank you for sharing your interpretation. It sounds more and more like that is the one that Aurora had in mind as well, as you're the second person to say this.
Fully agree with you that she is lovely 💕
Just my interpretation:
Aurora is not really a 'religious' person and she also wasn't 'religious', when she wrote this song.
Imagine a 11 or 12 years old child facing serious loses in it's life (which supposedly happened to Aurora around that time) and missing someone so badly, that almost everything reminds of that lost person ("I saw a face in the sand But when I picked it up Then it vanished away from my hands" and "I was painting a picture. The picture was a painting of you. And for a moment I thought you were here. But then again, it wasn't true").
So it should not be astonishing, that 'she' felt just like a 'runaway child' at that time, but then noticed, that there is a 'soft place to fall' for her (which she several times identifies as her mother's arm) and that in her point of view 'home' was always (and would maybe always be) her parents house.
Oh, I am not religious either. Actually, I'm agnostic. It's just that heaven is so colloquial these days that it doesn't need to correlate with the religious sense of the word to be understood.
Your interpretation is definitely far more beautiful than wishing one wasn't alive, so I think I will adopt that one. Thank you!

Great reaction. She prefers to allow us to find our own meanings in her songs. She was raised on Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan, despite her youth. Like Cohen, she was and is a poet first, and a pop star by accident.
Thank you kindly! As for meanings, too many options are possible, so I guess that's a good thing. Not too shabby for an accident, eh?
I really like watching your reactions to Aurora and Lara, so thoughtful and insightful. I discovered Aurora 4 years ago and unlike a reactor I had the opportunity to go back to the beginning and watch everything I could to catch up and watch everything since then. I see a theme to many her songs which she has not pronounced to be fact, but lyrics in her songs “Take me home”, “I don’t belong here on earth”, “If I stay here any longer I will stay here forever”, “ I long to be lifted up”, “mothership to take us home” - seems to me she is more acutely aware that we are spiritual beings placed here on earth to have a human experience and doesnt feel like she fits in and wants to go home. I am unsure if you know this about Aurora, but she wrote songs just for herself as early as age 6 like if she was writing in a journal. As a child when she wrote this song having those feelings - I can see why the emotions are all over the place trying to make sense of how she if feeling.which could explain why the song feel all over the place to you
Thank you so much Kimberly! Actually, what you just said is how I first thought of "heaven" she's mentioning in the song. Simply some other place, not here on Earth, so your take makes a lot of sense to me. The song being all over the place is also fine. To put it simply, for me it was more happy than sad - hence the title of this video.
Both times I watched her, it is primarily her singing that is captivating, but it's just fun to pick the lyrics apart as well and try to analyze the way I perceive it. Whether it is correct or not is less important to me. To this day people are still trying to figure out some of the greatest poets and still disagree on the meaning of some poems, but it doesn't take away from the beauty of those poems. Just gives us food for thought. One of such poets is Jim Morrison. 😂 Believe it or not, she somewhat reminds me of The Doors lyrics - none of it really makes sense, but some of the it reminds you of random things/feelings/ideas/real or imaginary places.
Love Aurora ❤
AURORA has 2 sisters, both work with her but not with the Music part of things. One sister is a "Clothing Designer" the other is a Professional "Make-up Artist". Which worked out to be a co-incidentaly handy. When Aurora got more famous her 2 sisters talents became an asset to her.
None of her two sisters appear in the band though.
Thank you so much! That is very convenient and also interesting that all 3 have creative jobs. 😊
Greetings from Scotland! Hello Aleks! For me, there are two completely unique female singers that have no equal in this world, Aurora and Diana Ankudinova. Both totally different and both totally spectacular singers. Both have incredibly expressive body language and the ability to evoke deep emotions within me. I feel very lucky to have been born in a time of such incredible vocal talents.
They truly are, both totally different and totally spectacular singers. 😊
I do have some good news for you and that is that I've decided to mix it up with Diana as well and listen to your latest suggestion (Good Girl). I'd like to hear something she wrote herself that's relatively new.
@@AleksReacts Excellent! I'm interested to see your reaction to that! However, Diana didn't write "Good Girl" it was a lyricist called Damir Nurutdinov amd the music is by Maxim Panteleev, Damir Nurutdinov.
However, I suspect that Diana suggested the theme of the lyrics, because it has a feel of herself in them. You'll see and decide for yourself anyway, Aleks. I have a list of her songs which she wrote or co-wrote and she has also done the music for at least one. If you want it, just ask, it is no problem.
I do hope we'll enjoy that one together. I thought it was written by her, but now that I've made up my mind, I'm doing it anyway.
Would you my sending me the list to my email? I'm saving Kostas' list there as well and I think I'll likely end up hearing almost all of her songs at some point. Won't happen over night, but I do enjoy listening to her.
@@AleksReacts No problem!
Got the email, thank you so much! ❤
She wrote the song as a child so Not sure if it was really to make sense of anything other then a childs imagination
That's ok, an adult's imagination based on the song will do. 😉
@@AleksReacts good response. Peace♥️
