AURORA is the fifth element.
She's like a White Wolf drinking water on the river, meanwhile the moonlight shine in his blue eyes
She's gotta be from another dimension or something. She's so otherworldly and ethereal.
Comfortably Plump I agree. I feel like I am going to cry whenever I watch her singing live. Not tears of sadness but I guess tears of release or relief even.
It's indescribable.
A 19-year-old girl without any prior professional music background did this. She wrote the lyrics, composed the melody, sang the song in the purest way that humans expected to connect with: no instrument, only the voice alone. It is not only beautiful. it's magic.
Julia Vanalika nice comment, thank you for that ... I feel the same way but can’t put it as succinctly 🙂🦋✨
I wrote this poem when I heard this song for the first time:
“My Grandma you were mine!” 💗. The smell of patchouli incense in the air,
I look at you through the eyes of a child, so full of wonder and love, my Grandma you were mine! When you held me close, and tickled my feet, you made me butterfly toast, my Grandma you were mine! And in that moment of pure love, that’s where we will meet, my Grandma you were mine!!!💞🦋💟
She's been doing music since she was a toddler. Professionally since she was like... 14. Maybe younger.
at 53 years old this is one of the purest voices i've have ever heard.
why does she look so pure? Like she's made from crystals or ice wtf
+Primadonna Queen She is not a human , but a visitor on this planet to guide us with her wisdom.
if heaven exists, i hope this is what it sounds like when you enter in it
OhMyLucia if there is a heaven i hope i feel the same way i feel listening to this song 24/7
But its so sad. I mean the songtext pretty much means that our world is hell. Which it is in some points. We just build us a save place so we wont notice as much.
Dude I don't even listen too this type of music but I heard it on the 100. Listening too the end where she's all hey n shit is like doing all the drugs in the world at the same time
As a highly sensitive person who was abused as a child and is now a mom to 2 children, this song is both beautiful and sad to me
that makes you very strong, even if you dont feel you are, deep inside ;) the more shit we go through, the stronger we become.
An angel right here on Earth, a light right in the middle of so much darkness.
When Aurora and her band sing the bridge of the song, it sounds like they are chanting in a language only they know. It's haunting, light, airy and harmonious.
I have a playlist for my funeral... for real... this is definitely an anthem I want to be heard during my burial ceremony... I want all the people I love to know that this music kept me alive and gave me my long lost faith back.
I have a funeral playlist as well..started keeping a list already when i was 7 yrs old ( when i was sure my father could kill me any day) and it has changed a lot through the years..I'm 54 now and it still keeps changing, but this one will def be on it.
same here, along with songs such as Old and Wise by Alan Parsons and Goodbye, Dear Friend by Deer Tick, and Because We Have To by Low Roar
Never have I heard a voice powerful enough to make me cry and shake within the literal first 5 seconds
"Please don't leave me here." I had already been an emotional wreck listening to the audio version. Then I heard those lines that she added towards the end and now I'm at risk for high blood pressure cause my salty tears keep getting into my mouth.
if you listen closely to the end of the album version, that line is there too.
Holy shit I just went to spotify and put it on full blast and surely enough, there it is. At 4:11 you can hear her (atleast on spotify it's at that time) ever so quietly say it in the background. "Please don't leave me here."
She's so amazing I'm speechless.
I don't know how she does it but she takes all the rage I have pinned up from daily life and somehow turns it to pure joy and leaves me smiling with tears in my eyes. If there is such a thing as Angels then she must be one.
She transmuted it into pure joy. 😍 She's doing Magick with the frequencies she emits out. 💖 She is pure Magick.
That part at 2:53 always makes me tear up. It's like at that very point my scars start to burn and my inner-child starts to cry for help - both because I miss being a child, but also because my childhood was traumatic and terrible.
I'm so sorry. My inner child wants to hold your inner child's hand and maybe hug her if she's ok with that. I feel the same things, and I have a similar dark past that haunts me still, decades later. I hope you are finding some healing. 🌱
Me too, you are not alone❤️ we are so innocent and pure when we are younger
This song is inside me. I am unlocked and 63 years into my life, I am finally home...
Thankyou Aurora.
Never to late to discover such peace.
I want this song to be played at my funeral. It will forever be a home for me
so talented. it's unreal.
OMG Jesseeeee!! I never expected to see you here omg. Glad to see you love aurora too~
Wtf? I have subscribed you, and I have loved your Percy Jackson reviews but I never expected you to listen to Aurora's music? Tell me it's not a dream. *Pinch*
When I'm in public, and this song comes up, I always have to skip it, because I start to cry every time I listen to this.
It makes me think of my mother and how much I love her. And while she's in good health and well, sometimes the realization hits, that eventually she'll die too. And this song makes me think of that inevitable one last goodbye.
I showed Aurora to my mom. She doesn't understands what she sings about, because she can't speak english. And she can't remember her name, so she just calls Aurora "Angel girl".
"Through The Eyes Of A Child"
The world is covered by our trails
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preach in sour lies
I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child...
Darker times will come and go
Times you need to see her smile
And mothers hearts are warm and mild
I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child
Through the skin of a child...
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul...
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
Please don't leave me here
This is beyond everything, it feels like a religious experience to me. So much passion. So much beauty. So pure, like snow or the smell after rain.
Please never change, you are just so pure and genuine. That's what makes you so magical in this day and age
every time i see her sing, i cry.😭 She's a light of pure beauty and innocence 😍
This absolute angel WROTE this. Omg
Why, as a man of 50 years does this song make me cry? T he soul of this one is old.
Imagine listening to this while laying on the ground and gazing up at the stars while camping out in the woods or a mountainous region...
creepybeaver3981 or in a beautyfull forest with green grass and flower and animals
Vevo UK LIFT singer-songwriter AURORA displays fragility in the most beautiful way in this astounding A cappella performance of "Through The Eyes Of A Child".
I am not in a good condition now,i feel hurt and broken,but aurora's songs keeps me from loosing hope and to still be empathetic for humanity and myself
I am in tears... what a Voice, what a talent... blessed be this unique human being ..
Watching her perform makes me feel like I can literally touch music at my finger tips, her emotions when she sings is like watching a film, you don't only feel the music but watch the music. I've never seen or felt anything like this before, she's so unique and I admire that!
This is one of the most beautiful, raw and unfiltered things I have ever seen/heard.
I hope there is someone around her to protect her from the industry she is heading into. It would be a shame for her to loose this innocence, I'm not sure what to call it but innocence is what came to mind.
I don't think that she needs protecting. If you look at her eyes when she sings, they hold pain. Sadness. But wonder as well. She experiences the world, sees the darkness in it. I think she is important because despite that suffering, she chooses to 'see the world through the eyes of a child'. She fights to keep from becoming jaded, to not lose that sense of child like wonder. That's what I see, anyway.
How can 444 people dislike this ! Are you even human! it makes no sense! this is magical. Some folk really need to get a life and start sharing true talent like this
+LEE VIEW They are her haters who cannot handle her greatness ! 447 is nothing compared to millions who loves her!
Because they don't know how to feel the magic and see the magic. They can't feel themselves going into a magical land of warriors and weirdos... This is song makes me feel going to a forest of pure green and harmless, no judgemental, no war, no tears, not alone. All love at peace... This song makes me feel that way
+JuLian Martin I wanna write a book and make a film called warriors and weirdos
I agree deeply with what you said.
so you're telling me this isn't the studio version of the song... wow... just wow
No, it’s not … I like this better than the studio version … AURORA is always best live, but Magnus’ production values shine brightly as well
Crying my heart out each time i see this video ....i have been listening to music since 1970 , when i was 5 years old ...never have an artist had such impact on me , beeing only 20 years old and only released one record ... looking forward to se her on stage .....thank you Aurora , for being just you ....wish you everything good in the years to come .....keep on rocking , girl .....
If everyone on this planet could follow Auroras mind and heart it would be heaven on earth
So take all of the negativity in the world, in others, in yourself, and push it aside. Press play. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Transcend.
I showed this song to my mom...and she and I were crying together. It was a lovely moment of pure humility. I love Aurora.
The world is covered by our trails
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preach in sour lies
I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child...
Darker times will come and go
Times you need to see her smile
And mothers hearts are warm and mild
I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child
Through the skin of a child...
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul...
it's not mothers heart is warm and mild, but mothers hands are warm and mild :)
she's like a little snow fairy sent from heaven to cure us of all our pain
This might be the most beautiful song i've ever heard in my 57 years.
Cheers to the backup singers. They did great as well.
This is about my 100th time watching and it still makes me cry. I love to see how much she’s grown since then, but also how outrageously beautiful she was and is. What makes her so beautiful to me is how much she allows herself to just be herself! She doesn’t care what others think of her or that people might view her as strange. She is just authentic and tries her best to spread love. She literally has changed my life through her music and the way that she lived and shares her life. I’m so grateful 💙
Wish more people would recognize her.
I wish they would but I also wish I could keep her as my little secret
This will bring a grown man to tears... makes me think of my mom. RIP.
Danny BallsofDoom I cry every time I see this performance. Just beautiful ❤️
Danny BallsofDoom me too lost my mum to cancer reduces me to tears so beautiful
the most amazing part is that this song is all vocals. Her voice is truly beautiful
Her voice made my room and my surroundings like heaven. It’s like even the non living objects are happy with her music and her euphonious voice ❤️
Magic exists in the form of this girl's voice!
Her voice is out of this world. i can never tired of it. But i gotta say her crew are also very talented! the background singing makes it more like heavenly 😍💞
THIS DESERVES TO GO VIRAL
Who else can't listen to this without crying?
This is the month anniversary of brothers death and I cannot stop listening to this wondering if it would help or hurt my mom to hear this song. It's comforting yet sad.
its one of the best vocal harmonies Ive ever heard
she sing like an angel omg I'm so in love
goosebumps and tears everywhere wtheck.
Her voice is magical. She is magical. I'm totally in love.
She's still so young and yet this song can reverberate with such power in the heart of so many people. I'm mesmerized how it carries both sentiments: The trustfulness of youth's perception and the awareness of adulthood, its longing desire to touch those feelings left behind once more. Can we be mature and pure of heart? I just wish I could know what was behind the writing of this song when it was written... just beautiful. Thank you...
I had wondered about this too. You may be aware of the HAIK documentary broadcast on Norway's NRK TV just over a week ago, in which Christine Dancke gives Aurora a day of surprises, and also interviews her through the course of the programme. ua-cam.com/video/T3-EbsM1QpI/v-deo.html About 25 minutes in, Aurora speaks about this song, and about why she wrote it. The entire programme is an absolute gem, and the accompanying episode with the concert is beautiful. ua-cam.com/video/JAyROGRwhiU/v-deo.html
Her music takes me to unearthly realm where I feel no pain and stress, just peace and bliss. I believe her music heals. She’s from another dimension. 🙏
Just cried so hard, new rivers formed
and a tear came out of my eyes...
She is basically the definition of magic 💙
When I first discovered Aurora, it was this song. I thought there was only song that ever made me cry, and she made me cry the most with this one. It's pure.
All the good words in many different languages have been said in the comments section of every video of Aurora... So I have no words to add... So I will say it like this... Aurora Gives of the most Purist Brightest Light I have ever seen in a Human being... She has certainly brightened up my Existence (at a time when I did not realise just how much Darkness was settling around me) and for that I Thank Her...
a pessoa mais maravilhosa do universo
To até hj esperando o CD dela aparecer em alguma livraria por aí pra eu poder comprar, n cheguei nem perto de ver. Decepcionado.
I can't imagine how entrancing and how magical it must be to hear her sing this live. I teared up just listening to this. This is beautiful. She is beautiful. Life is beautiful. I love this.
Kayla Ann I was lucky enough to hear her sing this live a few weeks ago in Birmingham UK, and it was honestly one of the most beautiful and mesmerising things i have ever heard. It was her very last song too, so to leave after hearing that song left me in a daze for a while haha
Today UA-cam recommended this video to me, I always like to come back to rewatch it. The peace within this melody, her emotions, expressions and beautiful voice is out of this world. It calms me down every time I listen to it. Very grateful to have her in our planet Earth ^^
That's the most beautiful thing I ever heard in my life, im crying so hard 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
“when a human stokes your skin, that is when you let them in. let them in before they go” that hits different today. I found someone who had the same mind as me. We had infinite conversations about crazy theories, of dimensions, of the universe, of everything. The last thing he told me was that he would support me no matter what. My grandpa passed away on my birthday, the day after my aunt’s. I’m grateful I let him in just in time.
This song is one of those that you can add to those nights where everything torments you and you need a little peace ...
She’s so pure and ethereal, and angelic voice, she has to be heaven sent to help bring light to people’s lives
AURORA just... makes me feel so... good, happy, alive, powerful. She is so pure, I will protect her with my soul.
'Let them in before they go' hurts in a different level when you have so much regrets of pushing people away.
real talent. good music. angelic voice. we need more Aurora in this world
She's one of the singers that I love her live performances more than her studio recordings. Amazing and very talented!
I felt this in my bones.
I feel like I found Aurora at exactly the right time that I needed her music, she is such a pure, magical and incredible person
I think heaven looks like this. She's truly an angel. She fell from heaven.
SHES TOO PURE FOR THIS WORLD😍😍and she needs no music her voice is music for itself💙💙
SO MANY ARTISTS TODAY (and in general) just do not sound great live. She is perfect--PERFECT! And for her to sing like this live, and create such beautiful music, all for us.... what greater gift can there be?
Tears tears and tears. This is so emotional
A cappella non the less. Aurora and her backup singers harmonize so beautifully, they sound like angels on earth.
This is one of my favorite songs by her, I mean I cant tell you a single song as powerful and beautifully simplistic. Until you listen to this song, I feel as if you haven't experienced all the places AURORA will send you to.
This is the most beautiful thing that I've ever heard in my all life.
I believe she is a super empath. She feels everything in her songs. It's not an act. That's why some do not understand her. Just my thoughts feeling her. She makes you feel also.
The "heeaaahh" it started and never stopped I cry a lot in that part it touches so deep that not even a strong person can hold on!
When a human strokes your skin... that is when you let them in... I can't control bursting into tears when I listen to this song, but not in a bad way. It allows you to release all the things you've buried deep inside....
This moved my soul to tears. She is the single best artist of our time. Brilliant.
omg.... this is like an angel sent from God to bless us their singing voice.....
Does anyone else get the feeling of euphoria? I feel like aurora's voice will guide anybody to a place of happiness and peace.
Tears roll down my face as I write these words... this performance moved me beyond belief..
I just watched her performance of this live and I can’t thank her enough. I recently lost my grandfather last month. I never cried yet for him. Not even leading up to his passing as we knew it was coming quickly. It’s not like I’m emotionless about it, but I think subconsciously I feel the need to be strong for my family while it’s still raw for them. But I finally got to just let it all out thanks to her third verse of this song. I love you Paw Paw and thank you so much Aurora. I’ve listened to your music for the last 2 years and I really appreciate the emotions you have shared and the ones you let me feel. And please everyone let them in before they go.
I'm amazed by the fact that her voice is so peaceful. She doesn't even need to be singing. Her voice, her way of speaking, her movements... Everything about her makes me feel something that I don't even know how to express. Oh my god
After listening to this my head became so clear. I love this.
AURORA you are an Angle sent down from heaven. OMG your voice is so angelic and your aura is so bright .I'm a 62 year old male. AURORA when I'm having very bad day hurting or sad or depressed all I have to do is fined your music and start listening to it and you make me smile so bright but then when I do listen and watch you perform I CRY so hard deep in my soul it is such a great feeling it is such a gift you have to make some one cry like my self. AURORA you keep doing what your doing and spread that warmth that you give out. And know that your my angle sent down from heaven. you saved my soul and helped it . So thank you with all my heart AURORA.
And This my friends is how the battle between good and evil is fought! Through beautiful angels like this. Truly!!
Her level of spiritual peace and just pure energy in life is what I aspire to be.
This is ethereal, your voice, your hands movement and expressions. It moves me inside. Tusen takk Aurora. Du er veldig snill.
People say her movements are distracting but that's literally her soul coming through in her work. Its just as beautiful as her music.
Nathan Hall exactly, that is just her way a being the music.
Her movements are her whole body singing.
whom ever says that doesnt understand the soul of an artist....she is dancing, painting and singing........she is beauty....perhaps that person should just stick to shallow music....50 cent....beyonce etc....
How could it be distracting?
For me l get more out of her wounderous voice when l watch her most heart felt movements.
