A little metal dust from a free spirit. You will never cease to get surprised by her. She heals souls. Spends consolation. A source of happiness. One of the most complete artists walking the earth. Timeless.
Hello again! Like your reaction to AURORA a lot. Keep going there are so many song from her which are stellar. Hope you get to my favourite live performance ever been made. AURORA - Lucky live in Nidarosdomen. That one is going sky high. Have a nice day.
Great suggestion and great reaction! I really love this song and this performance in particular. It's a little on the rockier side for Aurora, and I like watching her rock out a little bit. She's a metal fan, so why not? The song before this one, and the set opener, "Black Water Lilies" is also awesome. Crazy good vocals on that one. I hope you get to that one also at some point. And I'm with you, Aurora was so far out of my wheelhouse when I first discovered her, but man, she just hits different. I'm just glad I was open-minded enough to allow her into my world, because younger me would have never given her the chance. Now I can't get enough of her. And yeah, what an inspiration!
I could have watched her at festivals here in Norway, but chose a different band/stage as I early on decided she wasn't for me. Ignored her for years, until one day checking bands on YT (was going to a metal festival), I stumbled over a reaction video and decided to check what the big deal was. Have listened to her A LOT after that day, and seen her live twice. I could kick myself, but better late than never I guess😄
Very nice reaction. I haven't seen her explain the lyrics to this song, and she likes for people to form their own interpretations. To me "under the water" could be a metaphor for any abusive thing, that we do to ourselves like drug abuse, alchoholism, smoking etc. etc. Why do we "jump in" when "under the water" will kill us. "So many souls that lost control, where did they fall?" But there is hope as well, we can "swim" and survive it: "Hearts will dream again, Lungs will breathe in, Wash away the sins, It's where it begins, Feet won't fail you now, Arms won't let you down, Wash away the sins"
Great choice! A bit unusual for her, but in my opinion she can do no wrong, and I really love this one. The rest of this show is great, and has the best version of "I Went To Far" IMO. Apparently she wasn't a 100% (they did more than 200 shows in 2016, which is nuts), but still one of my favorite performances of hers. She doesn't do a lot of rock, but I think "The Seed" is a rock song. Highly recommended, and one of very few where I recommend the music video. There are a number of great live versions, but the music video is more in your face😊.
Great reaction. Yes, for me, Aurora is beyond special, she is in a league all alone IMO. This is one of the concerts I love, it is very underrated along with the song. Black Water Lilies at this concert is a must see ... hope to see you back at Aurora soon.
The fact she would OPEN shows back then with Black Water Lilies is nuts. Just because of how vocally demanding that song is. The melody has tons of big interval jumps and upper chord extensions, etc. Sounds almost like a melody Brian Wilson would write...even the way the arrangement is like this "pocket symphony" of lots of disparate parts that ebb and flow in cool ways. I wonder if she would open shows with this song as a way to "get the hard part over with" so she could just relax and know she's got this. Sort of a power move that I imagine must boost her confidence for the rest of the show. :)
@@avedic WOW, really? I just know I love it, I have no musical talent and therefore I have no clue as to what she is doing, only know that she is knocking it out of the park (for me) every time she opens her mouth to sing, lol, or talk. Thanks for the insight. She is incomparable. 😍
Yea. From one point of view you can call some song popy (indie pop, electro pop, art pop, folk or something), but if so it is like different kind of pop :). She has her own style and it is just Aurora music with her uniqueness and i love her music :). In this particular song/performance I feel a little rock inspiration too :). Very cool reaction!
I am so happy to see other discovering Aurora. I. Am usually not drawn to a voice like hers, but the first time I heard her a little over 2 years ago I could not get enough… I think there is something about her that just can’t be explained. I have many song recommendations, but for some reason Through The Eyes of A Child came first in mind to recommend to you. This version is A Capella live studio. The harmonies with her band will make you melt. ua-cam.com/video/CFzExUN1N8I/v-deo.html. The other song is the official video of The Seed, but you may not find it on UA-cam at the moment
Awesome reaction video 'Woolff'. Please have a listen to the opener to this set 'Black Water Lilies'. This April 2016 concert sponsored by 'The Honda Stage' ... was a concert at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC. Thank you, from a 72 year old Warrior & Weirdo.
Yay! It's my favorite floating head in black inky void reacting to Aurora performances! This IS a good one. She also sported such a _cool_ luck around this time...with those thin braids hanging down. I love when she would whip her body and the braids would snap through the air. Cool visual... I'm REAL curious to see you do the Nidarosdomen performance of Lucky. That is one of THE top tier Aurora live performances. It's just stunning...
Super Aurora song another of my favorites......actually.......everytime I hear an Aurora song it becomes a fav, this has been happening since 2016 when I first found her...or she found me...she is a part of my daily Life soundtrack...non stop since day one.....she is th Best of the best and not only a true and unique artist but on top of it all an exceptional human sharing her Love, Magic and Goodness among us we're so fortunate!
You have to check out >Live "It happend quite" at the Current AND >Live "Through the eyes of a child" at Nidarosdomen Cathedral FROM AURORA :-) PURE ART AS CAN BE!!!
I'm just pumped for you because there's another 20 songs of hers you haven't heard yet and every one of them will hit you. Her stuff, to me, is like how Zeppelin, Doors, Tool and some Metallica stuff is . . . what's my favorite song? Whatever of theirs I just listened to usually if you know what I mean.
Nice I absolutely love this song and performance, but then I do love almost all her songs, maybe a couple I’m not huge fan of lol Aurora said to The 405: "I love to sing this song live. It reminds me of my roots. It's dark, a bit folky and it got tiny inspirations on percussion etc. from some Norwegians metal bands. I love heavy metal". To her, it is more cathartically emotional than 'emo': "I've always been very drawn to sadness and to nightmares and to scary stories or going out in the dark - I don't know why. There's something mystical about it - which is very exciting, isn't it?"
if pop music (especially nowadays) where like auroras music, well, i would love pop music. it's far of mainstream or pop. the early work is quite the opposite of popular music.
Aurora is basically the closest you can get to being a modern day fairy imo ^^ You always get this otherwordly feeling from her, like part of her mind is always in another world. Such a mesmerizing artist. I recommend It happened quiet and Through the Eyes of a Child :)
I agree. but shes also an example of someome breaking out of the modern construct and how we should live. We can all be free. Also How are you, you doing ok?
@@TheWolffAndTheMelody She is truly unique and you can't help but feel inspired by her:) I'm doing good, thanks for asking:D To see both an Aurora and a Ghost reaction from you really made my day (two favorite artists of mine). I hope you're having a good day as well!
So i usually get caught up watching her instead of listening, which is both good and bad. 😂 Not that they can be compared but David Byrne used to do the same thing to me back in the day. You can certainly put her in the unique category. Whether i would be become a fan remains to be seen, but i can certainly appreciate her talents. ❤️ and ✌️

Yes, love her freedom ❤
Love Aurora ❤
Nobody used to listen to this kind of music because there is nothing like Aurora.. her music is unique.
So true
Good point. I hate it when she's called a pop artist. I hate pop music, so she can't be a pop artist! I've always said, she's her own genre.
Listen to Bjork or Kate Bush and you'll see she's not THAT unique.
@@magicbrownie1357 I've listened to both, and I still say Aurora is very unique.
❤❤❤
😊
Aurora really does cover the whole spectrum! There is a song for every human expression.
The more I experience her the more I'm blown away!
I LOVE all of Aurora's Honda Stage performances. She is so captivating. Totally recommend watching the others too!
We should do a live watch party
Always and each time beautiful. This woman is a singing goddess
And a songwriting/producing genius IMHO
@@vincentcarrot of course
I adore Aurora.❤ my tribe..
It is simple, she is a sprite, she drags you in, simple as that.
Beautiful performance. 🖖❤
Sooooo good!❤😊

I completely agree. I listen to her a good bit
Yesss Smaugyyy my friend👍🥰
Love this description - so eloquently put.
Love me some Aurora.❤️
Ethereal, that's the word that always comes into my mind when I listen to Aurora.
Agreed❤
Under the water is one of my all time favorites and now that I see this again...😍...😭😭😭
"I love the thought provoking lyrics!"
Well said
Great reaction!

Same! Good music is good music and not confined to genre. Its wild how something completely different grips us.

Heavy influences from Bjork and Kate Bush. Pretty good. They even had a bridge!
Incredible live performance. I wish I could have been there
It would of been wild!

This could be an awesome metal song. I hope someone will cover this one day.
This is not something I would ever listen to,but I find her voice pleasant. Her voice reminds me of Sinead O'Connor.
Yea dude, she has such a great voice.
Really enjoy your Aurora reactions! Hope you will continue ❤
Oh I will for sure

So true about her songs, I do not dislike any of them, but there is probably less than I could count on one hand of ones I DON'T love 😍😍

Oh I will have to check it out! Thanks friend.
MORE ✨AURORA✨ PLEASEEEEE
Why do we jump in? we take risks I guess we do this all our fucking lives trying to make sense Aurora makes us think she's so fucking unique!
So i usually get caught up watching her instead of listening, which is both good and bad. 😂 Not that they can be compared but David Byrne used to do the same thing to me back in the day. You can certainly put her in the unique category. Whether i would be become a fan remains to be seen, but i can certainly appreciate her talents. ❤️ and ✌️
Kinda like a not quite as talented Kate Bush.
