I absolutely "LOVE" watching new people, who have never heard Aurora before, hear her.... And Oh My God......and "THIS" was your first song??????? Phew!!!!!! I felt 'every' thing you were going through. I still tear up "every" time I hear this song. And, I've been a Warrior and Weirdo going on two years now. The term Warriors and Weirdos refers to Aurora's Army, or simply her passionate fanbase. I haven't met anyone who wasn't immediately overwhelmed and mesmerized when first hearing Our Fairy Godess 'AURORA' !!!! As for me, I'm a 52 year old 80's Heavy Metal and 70's Hard Rock kinda guy, but since I found Aurora here on UA-cam about 2 years ago, I listen to her almost everyday! Thank you for sharing your first time reaction to this. As a person, like myself, who has grown up with music, everything from Mowtown, to 70's Pop Rock, Disco, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, when I heard Aurora for the first time was a life-changing experience. I would say I hope you keep going down this path with more reactions with Aurora, but I'm almost certain you now have no choice! 😊 Aurora has you under Her Spell now. Welcome to The Tribe! My suggestion for your next song is "It Happened Quiet", two different venues, two different performances. One, from this Live in Nidarosdomen and also at The Current. You will find out, as you listen to Aurora more, she is very unique in every way possible. One of these ways is that she will have one song and this one song will be different every time she performs it. Sometimes drastically, and sometimes just a little. Every time you know it's the same song, but she performs it differently. I know this may not make sense at the moment, but, it will become crystal clear as your journey progresses.
She is as vulnerable as finely spun glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you apart and heals you at the same time. Who does that? Her art is almost too intense to bear, but you can't look away. She is a siren in the form of a wood nymph. Resistance is futile!
That's a beautiful, and accurate description. I've often thought of listening to her performances as the emotional/musical equivalent of drinking from the fire hose. It is overwhelming, and yet liberating all the same.
Your pronounciation of Aurora is perfect. It is exactly as in Norwegian. Much more, equally impressing songs. Start with her performances "Murder 54321" and "Runaway" from the Nobel peace prize concert 2015.
Not really, "au" in Norwegian is pronounced like a difthong from something like the German Ö vowel (also found in English words like girl, world and earth) leading to an English-style long "u" sound, like in "blue". Further, R is realized differently in different dialects in Norway, but where Aurora is from, it is realized like a typical French or German back-of-the-throat R. I speak this dialect myself.
@@eckligt Oh, you don't say. I didn't know that. I didn't notice when I lived all those years in Bergen. I was just commenting on your general notion that the it was pronounced like and øu in Norwegian per se. I always appreciate a good mansplaining ;-)
The same thing happened to me two years ago that just happened to you. While you were enchanted listening to her beautiful voice, seeing her childlike innocence, and being moved by her lyrical poetry, you inadvertently made eye contact with her and were immediately put under her spell. I'm looking forward to your next Aurora reaction!
5:17, that moment you shrimp i really want to hug you 😢. Im a grown man of almost 46 and this song is so touching, i always cry. "Just cry", she says to her fans, "it's a part of healing". I've seen her live... 7:33 I love your reaction so much, my heart is melting ❣ This is her original, she's coming from Stavanger, Norway.
I’ve been an Aurora fan since 2016 and this song still gets me every time. Along with so many others of hers. She’s life changing. I hope you keep going down the Aurora path. Aurora has been writing music from the age of 6. Lyrics from the age of 9. Her most famous release Runaway was written when she was 11. She was about 20 in this video (I think). She’s now 25. My next recommendation is Warrior - any and all live versions are fantastic. She calls her fan base Warriors and Weirdos.
I listened to this song and others and I always put tears in my eyes. I can't explain why, it's just happening. Always and it doesn't matter which version I heard or how often I already listened to her songs. Haven't heard all of them but I pretty sure it will be the same for every song. I heard people say she is a siren, or our 5th element. I heard people saying: I hope that's what you hear when you leave and get to the heavens gate. To be honest I hope that as well. There are a lot of great singer and musicians who are talented and gifted but Aurora is something completely different, unexplainable.
Greetings from Scotland! The OTHER unique singer in this world today, about 20 here but Aurora is ageless and beautiful inside and out! One of my two favourite singers in the music world today. D.A. being the other one of course! Aurora is special in every possible way and one of the people I would love to sit and talk to for days! Her costumes are made by her sister and her world is made by Aurora! If we could all see the world through her eyes - what an amazing thing that would be. You HAVE to listen to her other songs, be prepared to cry a lot Samantha! She totally slays me every time!
She is an angel. There's no way not to feel speechless after listening to her songs. You should definitely place "It Happened Quiet" (Live at The Current) and "I Went Too Far" (Live from the Honda Stage) high on your list. Her newest songs "Heathens", "A Dangerous Thing" and "Everything Matters" are also AMAZING.
i love the way you pronounce it . This is so moving , i was completely blown away . I first heard it yesterday myself ! thanks for bringing it to the attention of the world . I believe she is an angel healer therapist for us in our time on earth
Absolutely adore that look on your face, being introduced to Aurora is truly witnessing a miracle in our m midst! Welcome to the world of the warriors and weirdos!!
Aurora is unique and amazing, her voice is angelic... From this reaction I dare say you are going to love everything about her... Look forward to your next pick...
Aurora is a singer, songwriter, composer and producer. She started with music at the age of 6 on a piano. The words then came with 9. Then she wrote "Lucky". The song is also sung here in the Niderosdomen by her. This is Aurora's anti depression/anti suicide song. Such a topic and that already at the age of 9. This shows that Aurora is unique and she is very aware of the world in which she lives. Absolute genius and above all a wonderful person. Lucky live Niderosdomen ua-cam.com/video/AmTiqR2_VAw/v-deo.html
I have seen this performance …. So many times I’ve lost count. And every. Single. Time. It brings tears to my eyes. She is so so so talented and feels her music every time she sings it. Another song that got me to my absolute core is called A Different Kind and of Human. ( keep in mind with both of these songs, I work in a peds hospital so they hit very hard)
Samantha I see myself in your expression the first time I saw this interpretation. For me the best interpretation of Aurora, for this song. In fact, this whole concert is special and magnificent. Thanks
I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching first reaction to Aurora performances. Really it's a treat to the soul. Congratulations, now you know about Aurora, she's truly a gift to the world.
Her emotions and how she can transmit to to listeners is one of a reasons I love aurora music. Of course also her voice is great and she write great lyrics and songs. She also play piano, compose and she is in a whole process regarding making her music. And she has many great songs. Hard to go wrong with her music. I guess others already said many things about Aurora. For sure i will watch more reactions for her songs:).
This one is the big sister to the U tube young female artists.. Shes in her twenties but a female Peter pan...singer performer musician writer composer.. and artist. Here her talk and she has the offbeat genius of Spike Milligan at his Intelligent, nutty gentle human best.. The Norway tree fairy ... naughty fun deeply thoughtfull. She does a fab cover of Bowies life on Mars...from the same show and plays. This song in this concert is pure magic.. 💖🎆❄️
Aurora's music has tranformative elemental healing powers. The more you delve into the songs the more the gestalt will increase as themes and leitmotifs, both sonic and lyrical, intertwine across the albums. After UA-cam showed me Helvegen it showed me Nidarosdomen then KEXP Iceland . I knew nothing of the songs then. A few years later.... Total immersion. "My dear, come near. Do you feel my hand? It is there." Welcome new Warrior.
Nice reaction 👍 You pronounce her name quite right in Norwegian, and that’s where she’s from so…👍🥰 And welcome to Auroras queendom❤️ Aurora, a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer, was only 6 years old when she found an old electric piano in the attic. She’s now 25 years. She’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano. She wrote music without lyrics from the age of 6, and with lyrics from the age of 9😳 Nobody in her family knew about this talent of hers until Aurora was about 13 years old. She didn’t really want to be an artist, but her mom told her how Auroras music helped her, Aurora felt that she maybe could help some people. So she became an artist, and she really love her fans “Warriors and weirdos” She writes her own music, and I can recommend “Lucky” at Nidarosdomen She wrote it when she was 9 years old 🥰 “It Happened Quiet” live at CURRENT “Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)” live at the Nobel Price concert 2015 These are some to begin with 😍 She also has more upbeat song, and one is “The Seed”, which every human should watch. I would definitely watch the official video, cause it’s amazing 😍🥰 I’ve loved her since 2014, and I come from the same place as her ❤️
"who is she? Oh my god who is she?" I met her when i was in a very hard part of my life, and her Voice took me from the deep, made me feel, made me cry, amd made me smile, she is my savior, thank you, Aurora.
Thank you for reacting to her, your pronounciation was slighty perfect or indeed similar to norwegian. She learned piano at 6, words came at 9, wrote some music at 9, she's currently 25, birthday at June, new album on the 21st. Aurora has been through alot and I'm very grateful for her amazing talentend music she provides for us, and we stan her right Warriors and Weirdos! Some meaning behind these awesome lyrics: "That song is about how I'd rather see the world through the eyes of a child because everything is a bit better." "I care a lot about people's inner child and I am very determined to never lose my inner child. I get why we need all these layers to survive. It is a very tough world [and] I think sometimes we forget that child, sometimes we lose it and I think that's a bad thing." "'Through the Eyes of a Child' is one of the most important songs for me. It's about, the older you get, the more you see, and it's kind of like you miss the times when you thought everyone was nice, and that everything was nice, because it's hard to know all the darkness. Also we have lots of light, and I know that as well. But it's kind of like wanting to go back to the innocence, and see the world through the eyes of a child. It's a very important song for me." Hopefully you can react to more of her songs! Like : Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), it happened quiet ( Live at the current), Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), Lucky (Nidarosdomen), Queendom (Music video), Inffections of a different kind (Live at HAIK concert), I went too far (Live at Honda), Conqueror (Live at Honda),Warrior (HAIK concert), Running with the wolves (Music video), Giving into the love (Music video), Heathens (VEVO), Everything matters (On her channel) and A dangerous thing (Also on her channel)! Thank you have a great day.
I've know about her for a very long time, but I still get the same feeling every time I listen to her music. Angelic, spiritual, majestic are words I use to describe the Angel that is Aurora.
After a quick browse of the comments I didn’t see churchyard mentioned…live from kexp is one of my favorite Aurora performances.. in fact that whole set- about 29 minutes -is a real treat. Love your reactions
Yes, there’s a couple of KEXP performances … notable for the excellent sound engineering that AURORA deserves … the KEXP Iceland Airwaves concert from Reykjavík is also great … a bit more energetic too, which is nice 🙂
She has the soul of the earth within her and her singing is nature incarnate. such a beautiful soul. my favourite singer of all time, viking godess! =D
Aurora is amazing. What a nice reaction! Please react to Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) That performance is out of this world. Keep going
I believe everyone is able to relate to the lyrics of this song in some way. Everyone has their struggles and hard times in life and we all remember how easy life was as kids. This song hits all the notes to make me cry literally every single time i hear it. Even for just 10 seconds.
You pronounced it correctly. Knowing that you have never heard Aurora before is fun because she is incredible. Consider redoing this song in the stripped version (no instruments), the best a cappella version of anything I've ever heard. She is best live. Try Lucky, from this same concert, and Murder Song, from this same concert She and Angelina Jordan are young Norwegians who are staggeringly talented and unique. Aurora has been around for about a decade, and she is slowly growing an audience because all people need is an exposure, and bang. Billie Eilish says she was inspired to begin singing for real upon first hearing Aurora. The best video I ever saw anywhere is Aurora's video The Seed. The whole production of that is huge, performance, video, arrangement, production. Even in small venues she does well. God is a Woman (cover) Teardrop (cover), and Churchyard (original) are done super well in tiny radio station venues, unlike the lesser performances you often hear in those places.
I love the joy of your reaction, especially the reaction that most of us had the first time we heard Aurora, which is “wait, what? I must hear more!!”. She is 25 (21 at the time of this recording). I think your pronunciation is absolutely perfect. In her native Norway, they pronounce it “ow-roor-ah” with rolled “r”s. I don’t like our English pronunciation of “uh-roar-ah” which flattens out those lovely vowels. That is her songwriting, written very young. She is nearly savant in her lyrical and musical abilities. One of the things that struck me when I started to listen to her music is that she is pretty close to this generation’s Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Joni Mitchell in her abilities to write poetry and craft tunes. Plus, she is one of the nicest people you will find. Enjoy your Aurora journey!
Aurora is a self taught prodigy from Norway. She taught herself to sing, play piano and read music. Her voice pulls you into the storyline. She wrote her first song in Norwegian at 6 years old, in English at 9 years old. Because you have young daughters, I know you have heard her before, you just didn't know it was her. She sang in Frozen II, the voice calling to Elsa. She has dozens of original songs, some covering very deep subjects. But even when she does a cover she makes it her own.
Awesome reaction. I have been a fan since 2016 and she keeps getting more amazing all the time. I would strongly recommend Runaway live from the Nobel peace prize concert. Aurora has said that that song is the place to start and that performance is the best one. Enjoy!
this is why we play and listen to music from ALL artists, lands and cultures........Aurora just reaches in and touches your heart.......a beautiful hymn to innocence.........the transition to an a capella sequence at 4:26 is stunning and the ending crushes your soul
Hello Samantha! I'm so happy that you're reacting to both of my favorite singers now, 1)Angelina Jordan and 2)Aurora Aksnes. And yes, this is her original. Aurora is Norwegian, and writes, composes,arranges and produces all of her own music. She started writing songs at the age of 9, the song "Lucky" and has INCREDIBLE lyrics. Lyrics that will make you think and interpret. Aurora never forces an interpretation on you through her lyrics, she always leave them open. So people from every walk of life can identify and find their own meaning. That is true genius. Aurora was 19 on this concert here in Norway, but she looks a bit younger. She is 25 now, and her new album will drop in 5 days. The song that made her internationally known, is her song "Runaway" and it has been trending on social platforms, like TikTok. The music is beautiful, and so is the music video. The video was actually shot more or less in her back yard, and shows you BEAUTIFUL, Norwegian nature. I'll leave the link for that one here, as well as 9 others of my favorites by her. Runaway : ua-cam.com/video/d_HlPboLRL8/v-deo.html And 9 more : 1)" Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" Live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html 2) "Lucky" from the same concert in Nidarosdomen (Aurora wrote this song at age 9 ) : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html 3) "Running With The Wolves" : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html 4)"The Seed" : ua-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/v-deo.html 5)"All Is Soft inside" Live at KEXP in Iceland : ua-cam.com/video/IS2iVcGz_Ok/v-deo.html 6)"Churchyard" Also live at KEXP : ua-cam.com/video/nJLuG8c11Gk/v-deo.html 7)"Exist For Love" : ua-cam.com/video/7YDkrJaiCrw/v-deo.html 8)"Cure For Me" : ua-cam.com/video/K17df81RL9Y/v-deo.html 9)"Heathens" : ua-cam.com/video/utKR7tAm0hg/v-deo.html This should give you quite a bit to start with, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. As you will see rather quickly, there is no artist like Aurora when it comes to mannerism and how she emotes her songs. She is often described as hypnotic, and for me personally, that's the best way to describe her. Although I have Angelina on first place on my list, due to her insanely beautiful vocals and tonality, Aurora is right up there with her, but she has a very different voice. Her voice is most commonly described as angelic, and I agree. Aurora has also made quite a few VERY beautiful covers, please do let me know if you would like to have a list to those as well. Even more love and respect than last time from your Norwegian friend. Take care and stay safe ! Btw, I was shocked to hear that you are not English. To my Norwegian ears, you have perfect intonation. You must have at least ONE English parent I think ? :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Warriors and Weirdos" (AURORA's fans, that is). She is not only a great singer and talented artist. She has a unique personality as well, with a vivid imagination and clear views on the world around her and on the world as a whole. This time line shows how talented she is: Age 6: Started to follow dance lessons Age 6: Started to compose melodies Age 9: Started writing lyrics in her second language English Age 14: Her family discovered that she wrote her own songs Age 16: Recorded one song ("Puppet") as a gift to her parents Age 16: Performed a self written song ("I Had A Dream") at a school assembly Age 16: Gave up dancing (and her dream of becoming a professional dancer) to focus on singing Age 17: Released her first song "Awakening" Age 18: Released her first EP "Running With The Wolves" Age 19: Released her first full album "All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend" Age 19/20/21: Performed hundreds of live shows during her world tour Age 22: Released her second EP "Infections Of A Different Kind (step 1)" Age 22 (just before her 23rd birthday): Released her second full album "A Different Kind Of Human (step 2)" Age 24: Her song "Runaway" (released in 2015) has gone viral on TikTok, hence turning Runaway into a world wide hit with over 1 million streams daily on Spotify and UA-cam Age 25 (today): She recently finished her third full album "The Gods We Can Touch", it will be released next week on January 21, 2022
AURORA, (26 years - look younger) is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.(From the same country as Angelina Jordan). Among artists and in the music industry AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.
@@kevinbrown3082 I agree. Angelina has a whole different voice, and she sings almost only cover songs. While Aurora has been written many songs since she was 9, they are very different. I think Angelina has a great voice, it’s just not my cup of tea🤷♀️
@@lillm6874 I like to refer to Angelina Jordan as Norways Rod Stewart , he also found fame and hits with mostly cover versions , glorified Karaoke. lol
Everythime I hear this live Concert I really need to cry, like I could really feel every note deep inside of me and that is why I love her music so much. You should also really listen to the whole concert from Nidarosdomen, but every video out there from her is a masterpiece. I am more than happy for you, that you found her 🥰
Have to agree with Jos Koegeler, "Murder Song 54321" from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert is another shockingly mind-blowing delivery from Aurora. "Runaway" is also outstanding, but I prefer her official video release set outdoors in Norway, which has about 350 million views. Aurora is touring the UK in April, have booked to see her, recommend that as a worthwhile life experience for anyone of any age who loves the best in music and performance. Great reaction Lisa - I feel the same whenever I listen to her - and it doesn't wear off!
yeah, that's what she does. she is the Queen, the faerie princess, the embodiment of artistic emotion, please go down this journey.. the Warriors and Weirdos will be here.
Oooh so kind words for my thiny soulhealer. She make us happy and Lucky. Hope that you make it to react to her song Lucky in Nidarosdomen. That one is my favourite ever. It's otherwortly....and you..... don't forget some napkin. When you listen to it think that she wrote it when she was 9 years old. See ya
Welcome to the wonderful journey you're abaout to experience. I suggest you react to Murder Song live at nobel preace prize....it's another masterpiece of hers. Great reaction and I love the effect Aurora causes on people and just saying...she does this no matter if you're a new fan or an old one.
Aurora inserts her mind and body so deeply into her live performances, you will see her often take a brief moment to return to the present at the end of a song.
For years i didn't know who owns that magical voice behind the siren that's calling Elsa. But now i know and thanks to Disney for letting Aurora sing as the siren calling Elsa through that way i have known this unique human being ❤.
Welcome to the magnificent world of Warriors and weirdos...She does that to nearly everyone on their first listen....enjoy and explore...but be prepared to be amazed and mesmerized..."Queendom' would be my next recommendation...or "Lucky" live at Nidarosdomen as well...Hope to follow you on your Aurora Journey.
I have followed her since first hearing her back in 2015 with her song Puppet, in my quest for finding music outside the normal North American commercialized garbage they keep putting out here and have to say I have come across many amazing artists from all over the world, Aurora is one of my favorites artists no question, so down to earth and genuine a true treasure she is
Привет из Западной Сибири, города Омск. Первый раз вижу и слышу юную певицу Аврору. Потрясающе! Уникальная певица-артистка. Рождена для сцены. Поймала себя на мысли, что есть музыкальная тенденция это подобие шаманского пения. Да это выросло поколение кристаллических детей, до этого были дети-индиго, им сейчас где-то 39 лет. Кристаллические дети чуткие и одарённые от природы. Благодарю вас за видео. Вы расширили мой кругозор.
Dear Samantha Thank you for your lovely reaction on this wonderful song, sung by this amazing young and talented artist. It was like listening to an angel singing from the heavens. Thanks for bringing awareness on such marvelous artist who express herself with beautiful lyrism and artistry. Listening and viewing her performance was like an ethereal and spiritual experience. It is so comforting to be able to witness such awe-inspiring human beings, as it reminds us that despite all the darkness that often prevail in this world, there is "beauty" that is worth living for, and for which we should be all grateful as it can incite us to do our part to make this world a better place. Thank you again Samantha. 🥰
Norway strikes again 😎 I would suggest Lucky from Nidarosdomen or Runaway (either orignal vid or live from Nobel peace concert) for your next reactions to Aurora =)
Most exquisite, captivating, angelic, quirky, emotive, female performer out there!!!!!! She is my female obsession while Dimash is my male obsession!!!!
If you listen to more Aurora, she has a huge catalogue of original and cover songs, be prepared to be taken on an incredible journey. She has many live concerts from around the world on UA-cam. Her new album is due to be released in a few days. She is a songwriter, singer, producer and dancer. A true Artiste in every respect. Enjoy the journey...you won't be disappointed by this young woman.
Great first time reaction. "Why did you have to go where I couldn't follow?" and "Sophie" are unique and open up Aurora's heart and soul like many other of her songs but take you into the human dimension outside of popular song and into the sphere of the sacred. Well worth repeated listening's. Thanks for presenting her as you did.
As a Tolkien fan, i love pronunciation. Lol. Technically, you're pronouncing it right, and the "english" pronunciation is just anglicized. Same way we say "Sauron" and "Mordor" without rolling the R. It's technically incorrect. Christopher Lee made certain that was known on set. There's a difference in pronunciation of names in Anime, as well. It has largely to do with the difference in sounds between our languages. I absolutely LOVE the unique notes and flavors that dress a language to be recognisable. I can recently notice the difference between Korean and Japanese, and it feels so exciting. Portuguese is a fun one, it sounds like so many things at once. I work in a restaurant with lots of people from Brazil. 💕 I can roll my Rs, so when i practice Spanish on Duolingo, or Portuguese at work, i make sure to get it right. Lol it's a big part of many Gaelic languages as well, which is part of my family history.
You might be interested to know then, that Aurora is from a part of Norway that uses guttural r's. You can hear her use them clearly in this (Norwegian) interview, where the guy is using our rolling r's as a good contrast. I couldn't find her say her own name (yet). ua-cam.com/video/hdbl_5uF8Z0/v-deo.html
ALWAYS watch her live first. Her stage performance is what really captures people. Although her music video's can be interesting too. But it's not the same.
Congratulations with this treasure you found. Aurora is really one of a kind and very authentic. She channels her music through the whole of her being. She has the power to touch you in ways you never knew where there. This whole X-mas concert is chilling, from the first until the last song. It was in Nidarosdomen, the Cathedral of Trondheim, Norway, produced by norsk television. One of her very most beautiful songs is: 'it happened quiet', live at The Current. You did a very good reaction, by opening up to her music and let it take you over. I subscribed.
Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. It is truely a magical place. I hope your journey is long and beautifully strange. Aurora is a siren. I would gladly sail my ship onto the rocks to hear her sing. Her song "Runaway" is a good next step. The music video has over 350 million views. That should tell you something.
You have hit Gold dust with Aurora she is without doubt the best live performer I’ve ever seen and heard and live performances are the best way to react to her for you get to see the whole package of this amazing artist,in fact you may have heard her before without realising that it was her if you know of the Disney movie Frozen 2 Aurora was the voice that Elsa heard in the song “into the unknown “you are now starting a journey that make you feel so many emotions all good I promise but trust me you will need a box of tissues to dry the many tears that will flow listening to our wonderful queen,your next reaction for me would be a song from the same concert at nidarosdomen called Lucky it’s a song that she wrote at the age of 9 it’s a masterpiece ❤️🍎❤️🍎❤️
My favorites are Seed or Heathens. She is one of the core 5 Scandinavian female artists. Angelina J, Aurora, Eivor, Katherine (Kalandra) Maria Franz oh and Jonna Jilton.
Aurora was born 15 June 1996. I don't remember when this performance was...it was 4 years ago when she was 22. She's been singing a lot longer sings, writes, produces. She is from Norway. SHE was the voice of the North Wind calling to Elsa in Frozen 2. She has too many songs to list here. Go to her Aurora UA-cam page to get all you'd ever want to listen to her fantastic gift. But to me, this one is the one I love the most!
Watching people discover Aurora is like therapy to me.
I find myself searching such videos out, because I enjoy watching people experience the same joy as I did.
actually I think I'm addicted to this lol
@@nicolleaguiar2096 We're all trapped in this cycle of neverending reactions!
yess, been binge watching these first time reactions of Aurora so much lately:]
Hihi same :-)
I absolutely "LOVE" watching new people, who have never heard Aurora before, hear her....
And Oh My God......and "THIS" was your first song???????
Phew!!!!!! I felt 'every' thing you were going through. I still tear up "every" time I hear this song.
And, I've been a Warrior and Weirdo going on two years now. The term Warriors and Weirdos refers to Aurora's Army, or simply her passionate fanbase. I haven't met anyone who wasn't immediately overwhelmed and mesmerized when first hearing Our Fairy Godess 'AURORA' !!!!
As for me, I'm a 52 year old 80's Heavy Metal and 70's Hard Rock kinda guy, but since I found Aurora here on UA-cam about 2 years ago, I listen to her almost everyday!
Thank you for sharing your first time reaction to this. As a person, like myself, who has grown up with music, everything from Mowtown, to 70's Pop Rock, Disco, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, when I heard Aurora for the first time was a life-changing experience. I would say I hope you keep going down this path with more reactions with Aurora, but I'm almost certain you now have no choice! 😊 Aurora has you under Her Spell now.
Welcome to The Tribe!
My suggestion for your next song is "It Happened Quiet", two different venues, two different performances. One, from this Live in Nidarosdomen and also at The Current. You will find out, as you listen to Aurora more, she is very unique in every way possible. One of these ways is that she will have one song and this one song will be different every time she performs it. Sometimes drastically, and sometimes just a little. Every time you know it's the same song, but she performs it differently. I know this may not make sense at the moment, but, it will become crystal clear as your journey progresses.
She is as vulnerable as finely spun glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you apart and heals you at the same time. Who does that? Her art is almost too intense to bear, but you can't look away. She is a siren in the form of a wood nymph. Resistance is futile!
👏👏👏👏
That's a beautiful, and accurate description. I've often thought of listening to her performances as the emotional/musical equivalent of drinking from the fire hose. It is overwhelming, and yet liberating all the same.
So beautifully said! 🌹
thus spake the listener
Well said friend.
Your pronounciation of Aurora is perfect. It is exactly as in Norwegian. Much more, equally impressing songs. Start with her performances "Murder 54321" and "Runaway" from the Nobel peace prize concert 2015.
Not really, "au" in Norwegian is pronounced like a difthong from something like the German Ö vowel (also found in English words like girl, world and earth) leading to an English-style long "u" sound, like in "blue". Further, R is realized differently in different dialects in Norway, but where Aurora is from, it is realized like a typical French or German back-of-the-throat R. I speak this dialect myself.
@@eckligt You are generalizing too much here, me think. I would never pronounce "au" as ø. Her "Aurora" could pass as someone from Trønderlag.
@@kayleighmoran Sure, there is variation, some dialects pronounce AU more like "æu" or "æv", but here west it's like "øu".
@@eckligt Oh, you don't say. I didn't know that. I didn't notice when I lived all those years in Bergen. I was just commenting on your general notion that the it was pronounced like and øu in Norwegian per se. I always appreciate a good mansplaining ;-)
@@kayleighmoran Trash!
I always start crying when i hear this song
The same thing happened to me two years ago that just happened to you. While you were enchanted listening to her beautiful voice, seeing her childlike innocence, and being moved by her lyrical poetry, you inadvertently made eye contact with her and were immediately put under her spell. I'm looking forward to your next Aurora reaction!
5:17, that moment you shrimp i really want to hug you 😢. Im a grown man of almost 46 and this song is so touching, i always cry. "Just cry", she says to her fans, "it's a part of healing". I've seen her live... 7:33 I love your reaction so much, my heart is melting ❣
This is her original, she's coming from Stavanger, Norway.
You looked stunned watching her beautiful voice,as was I .She is like an angel.she just takes you away with her sweet voice doesn't she.!!?
I’ve been an Aurora fan since 2016 and this song still gets me every time. Along with so many others of hers. She’s life changing. I hope you keep going down the Aurora path.
Aurora has been writing music from the age of 6. Lyrics from the age of 9. Her most famous release Runaway was written when she was 11. She was about 20 in this video (I think). She’s now 25.
My next recommendation is Warrior - any and all live versions are fantastic. She calls her fan base Warriors and Weirdos.
"Lucky" Live at Nidarosdomen is life changing!
YEP
Facts
Let's be honest, that entire concert was life changing 😂
Facts
I listened to this song and others and I always put tears in my eyes. I can't explain why, it's just happening. Always and it doesn't matter which version I heard or how often I already listened to her songs. Haven't heard all of them but I pretty sure it will be the same for every song.
I heard people say she is a siren, or our 5th element. I heard people saying: I hope that's what you hear when you leave and get to the heavens gate. To be honest I hope that as well.
There are a lot of great singer and musicians who are talented and gifted but Aurora is something completely different, unexplainable.
Amazing song and performance to start your journey with Aurora.She is absolutely amazing.
Greetings from Scotland! The OTHER unique singer in this world today, about 20 here but Aurora is ageless and beautiful inside and out! One of my two favourite singers in the music world today. D.A. being the other one of course! Aurora is special in every possible way and one of the people I would love to sit and talk to for days! Her costumes are made by her sister and her world is made by Aurora! If we could all see the world through her eyes - what an amazing thing that would be. You HAVE to listen to her other songs, be prepared to cry a lot Samantha! She totally slays me every time!
Lol why am i not surprised to find you here Peter. 👍🏼
She is an angel. There's no way not to feel speechless after listening to her songs. You should definitely place "It Happened Quiet" (Live at The Current) and "I Went Too Far" (Live from the Honda Stage) high on your list. Her newest songs "Heathens", "A Dangerous Thing" and "Everything Matters" are also AMAZING.
She is the best there is. Musically & personally. A pure soul who connects with her audience
i love the way you pronounce it . This is so moving , i was completely blown away . I first heard it yesterday myself ! thanks for bringing it to the attention of the world . I believe she is an angel healer therapist for us in our time on earth
Absolutely adore that look on your face, being introduced to Aurora is truly witnessing a miracle in our m midst! Welcome to the world of the warriors and weirdos!!
Aurora is unique and amazing, her voice is angelic... From this reaction I dare say you are going to love everything about her... Look forward to your next pick...
Aurora is a singer, songwriter, composer and producer. She started with music at the age of 6 on a piano. The words then came with 9. Then she wrote "Lucky". The song is also sung here in the Niderosdomen by her. This is Aurora's anti depression/anti suicide song.
Such a topic and that already at the age of 9. This shows that Aurora is unique and she is very aware of the world in which she lives. Absolute genius and above all a wonderful person.
Lucky live Niderosdomen

I love this girl! She melts my heart! She reminds me of my girls. So beautiful, and kind. She puts a smile in my heart. Thanks!
Im just crying my heart out..... divine
One of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced.
She is just magical
Listening to her in this venue is like listening to an Angel sing. She makes you want to weep with joy.
Every time, without fail, she breaks me.
I have seen this performance …. So many times I’ve lost count. And every. Single. Time. It brings tears to my eyes. She is so so so talented and feels her music every time she sings it.
Another song that got me to my absolute core is called A Different Kind and of Human. ( keep in mind with both of these songs, I work in a peds hospital so they hit very hard)
Welcome to the ride. That first time you hear her, we all reacted the same way. She touches places other singers cannot reach. Enjoy.
Samantha I see myself in your expression the first time I saw this interpretation. For me the best interpretation of Aurora, for this song. In fact, this whole concert is special and magnificent. Thanks
I LOVE LOVE LOVE watching first reaction to Aurora performances. Really it's a treat to the soul. Congratulations, now you know about Aurora, she's truly a gift to the world.
Her emotions and how she can transmit to to listeners is one of a reasons I love aurora music. Of course also her voice is great and she write great lyrics and songs. She also play piano, compose and she is in a whole process regarding making her music. And she has many great songs. Hard to go wrong with her music. I guess others already said many things about Aurora. For sure i will watch more reactions for her songs:).
There so many great songs and covers! Her fan base is known as Warriors and Weirdos. Welcome to Aurora. ❤️
This one is the big sister to the U tube young female artists..
Shes in her twenties but a female Peter pan...singer performer musician writer composer.. and artist.
Here her talk and she has the offbeat genius of Spike Milligan
at his Intelligent, nutty gentle human best.. The Norway tree fairy ... naughty fun deeply thoughtfull. She does a fab cover of Bowies life on Mars...from the same show and plays.
This song in this concert is pure magic.. 💖🎆❄️
I had the same reaction as you .Like an ANGEL!!.
Aurora's music has tranformative elemental healing powers. The more you delve into the songs the more the gestalt will increase as themes and leitmotifs, both sonic and lyrical, intertwine across the albums. After UA-cam showed me Helvegen it showed me Nidarosdomen then KEXP Iceland . I knew nothing of the songs then. A few years later.... Total immersion. "My dear, come near. Do you feel my hand? It is there." Welcome new Warrior.
Im a 62 yr old and she really got to my heart . tears ran down my face.love her as if she was my little girl!!!.
Nice reaction 👍
You pronounce her name quite right in Norwegian, and that’s where she’s from so…👍🥰
And welcome to Auroras queendom❤️
Aurora, a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer, was only 6 years old when she found an old electric piano in the attic. She’s now 25 years.
She’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano.
She wrote music without lyrics from the age of 6, and with lyrics from the age of 9😳
Nobody in her family knew about this talent of hers until Aurora was about 13 years old.
She didn’t really want to be an artist, but her mom told her how Auroras music helped her, Aurora felt that she maybe could help some people.
So she became an artist, and she really love her fans “Warriors and weirdos”
She writes her own music, and I can recommend “Lucky” at Nidarosdomen
She wrote it when she was 9 years old 🥰
“It Happened Quiet” live at CURRENT
“Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)” live at the Nobel Price concert 2015
These are some to begin with 😍
She also has more upbeat song, and one is “The Seed”, which every human should watch. I would definitely watch the official video, cause it’s amazing 😍🥰
I’ve loved her since 2014, and I come from the same place as her ❤️
"who is she? Oh my god who is she?"
I met her when i was in a very hard part of my life, and her Voice took me from the deep, made me feel, made me cry, amd made me smile, she is my savior, thank you, Aurora.
She is a soulhealer.
Makes me glad to be alive just so I can hear those few minutes of absolute perfection.
Thank you for reacting to her, your pronounciation was slighty perfect or indeed similar to norwegian. She learned piano at 6, words came at 9, wrote some music at 9, she's currently 25, birthday at June, new album on the 21st. Aurora has been through alot and I'm very grateful for her amazing talentend music she provides for us, and we stan her right Warriors and Weirdos! Some meaning behind these awesome lyrics:
"That song is about how I'd rather see the world through the eyes of a child because everything is a bit better."
"I care a lot about people's inner child and I am very determined to never lose my inner child. I get why we need all these layers to survive. It is a very tough world [and] I think sometimes we forget that child, sometimes we lose it and I think that's a bad thing."
"'Through the Eyes of a Child' is one of the most important songs for me. It's about, the older you get, the more you see, and it's kind of like you miss the times when you thought everyone was nice, and that everything was nice, because it's hard to know all the darkness. Also we have lots of light, and I know that as well. But it's kind of like wanting to go back to the innocence, and see the world through the eyes of a child. It's a very important song for me."
Hopefully you can react to more of her songs! Like : Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), it happened quiet ( Live at the current), Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), Lucky (Nidarosdomen), Queendom (Music video), Inffections of a different kind (Live at HAIK concert), I went too far (Live at Honda), Conqueror (Live at Honda),Warrior (HAIK concert), Running with the wolves (Music video), Giving into the love (Music video), Heathens (VEVO), Everything matters (On her channel) and A dangerous thing (Also on her channel)! Thank you have a great day.
My first reaction to Aurora was to be left speechless. For me, she is what a true free spirit looks and sounds like.
Now you made my day/night. 😊
Now also reacting to my other favorite singer /songwriter besides Angelina 🙏👍🤗🇧🇻
You have to hear and see the entire concert! Out of this world!
I've know about her for a very long time, but I still get the same feeling every time I listen to her music. Angelic, spiritual, majestic are words I use to describe the Angel that is Aurora.
I've listened to her for a while, and have seen this performance many times. I still cry every time
After a quick browse of the comments I didn’t see churchyard mentioned…live from kexp is one of my favorite Aurora performances.. in fact that whole set- about 29 minutes -is a real treat. Love your reactions
Yes, there’s a couple of KEXP performances … notable for the excellent sound engineering that AURORA deserves … the KEXP Iceland Airwaves concert from Reykjavík is also great … a bit more energetic too, which is nice 🙂
She has the soul of the earth within her and her singing is nature incarnate. such a beautiful soul. my favourite singer of all time, viking godess! =D
I love to see in your eyes what happens when the Breath behind our own recognize its Self in Auroras words, performance and voice!
Her name absolutely fits her, she is as beautiful as the northern Lights.
Aurora is amazing. What a nice reaction! Please react to Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) That performance is out of this world. Keep going
I believe everyone is able to relate to the lyrics of this song in some way. Everyone has their struggles and hard times in life and we all remember how easy life was as kids. This song hits all the notes to make me cry literally every single time i hear it. Even for just 10 seconds.
The whole concert is like that!
You pronounced it correctly. Knowing that you have never heard Aurora before is fun because she is incredible. Consider redoing this song in the stripped version (no instruments), the best a cappella version of anything I've ever heard. She is best live. Try Lucky, from this same concert, and Murder Song, from this same concert
She and Angelina Jordan are young Norwegians who are staggeringly talented and unique. Aurora has been around for about a decade, and she is slowly growing an audience because all people need is an exposure, and bang. Billie Eilish says she was inspired to begin singing for real upon first hearing Aurora.
The best video I ever saw anywhere is Aurora's video The Seed. The whole production of that is huge, performance, video, arrangement, production. Even in small venues she does well. God is a Woman (cover) Teardrop (cover), and Churchyard (original) are done super well in tiny radio station venues, unlike the lesser performances you often hear in those places.
I love the joy of your reaction, especially the reaction that most of us had the first time we heard Aurora, which is “wait, what? I must hear more!!”. She is 25 (21 at the time of this recording). I think your pronunciation is absolutely perfect. In her native Norway, they pronounce it “ow-roor-ah” with rolled “r”s. I don’t like our English pronunciation of “uh-roar-ah” which flattens out those lovely vowels. That is her songwriting, written very young. She is nearly savant in her lyrical and musical abilities. One of the things that struck me when I started to listen to her music is that she is pretty close to this generation’s Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen or Joni Mitchell in her abilities to write poetry and craft tunes. Plus, she is one of the nicest people you will find. Enjoy your Aurora journey!
Yes! You can feel the energy as she channels it from the universe through to your soul. ❤
Aurora is a self taught prodigy from Norway. She taught herself to sing, play piano and read music. Her voice pulls you into the storyline. She wrote her first song in Norwegian at 6 years old, in English at 9 years old. Because you have young daughters, I know you have heard her before, you just didn't know it was her. She sang in Frozen II, the voice calling to Elsa. She has dozens of original songs, some covering very deep subjects. But even when she does a cover she makes it her own.
Awesome reaction. I have been a fan since 2016 and she keeps getting more amazing all the time. I would strongly recommend Runaway live from the Nobel peace prize concert. Aurora has said that that song is the place to start and that performance is the best one. Enjoy!
You get her.....that is awesome. She vibrates at a completely different level....with Mother Earth...maybe.
this is why we play and listen to music from ALL artists, lands and cultures........Aurora just reaches in and touches your heart.......a beautiful hymn to innocence.........the transition to an a capella sequence at 4:26 is stunning and the ending crushes your soul
Hello Samantha! I'm so happy that you're reacting to both of my favorite singers now, 1)Angelina Jordan and 2)Aurora Aksnes. And yes, this is her original. Aurora is Norwegian, and writes, composes,arranges and produces all of her own music. She started writing songs at the age of 9, the song "Lucky" and has INCREDIBLE lyrics. Lyrics that will make you think and interpret. Aurora never forces an interpretation on you through her lyrics, she always leave them open. So people from every walk of life can identify and find their own meaning. That is true genius.
Aurora was 19 on this concert here in Norway, but she looks a bit younger. She is 25 now, and her new album will drop in 5 days.
The song that made her internationally known, is her song "Runaway" and it has been trending on social platforms, like TikTok. The music is beautiful, and so is the music video. The video was actually shot more or less in her back yard, and shows you BEAUTIFUL, Norwegian nature. I'll leave the link for that one here, as well as 9 others of my favorites by her. Runaway : ua-cam.com/video/d_HlPboLRL8/v-deo.html
And 9 more :
1)" Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1)" Live at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html
2) "Lucky" from the same concert in Nidarosdomen (Aurora wrote this song at age 9 ) : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html
3) "Running With The Wolves" : ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html
4)"The Seed" : ua-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/v-deo.html
5)"All Is Soft inside" Live at KEXP in Iceland : ua-cam.com/video/IS2iVcGz_Ok/v-deo.html
6)"Churchyard" Also live at KEXP : ua-cam.com/video/nJLuG8c11Gk/v-deo.html
7)"Exist For Love" : ua-cam.com/video/7YDkrJaiCrw/v-deo.html
8)"Cure For Me" : ua-cam.com/video/K17df81RL9Y/v-deo.html
9)"Heathens" : ua-cam.com/video/utKR7tAm0hg/v-deo.html
This should give you quite a bit to start with, but it is just the tip of the iceberg. As you will see rather quickly, there is no artist like Aurora when it comes to mannerism and how she emotes her songs. She is often described as hypnotic, and for me personally, that's the best way to describe her. Although I have Angelina on first place on my list, due to her insanely beautiful vocals and tonality, Aurora is right up there with her, but she has a very different voice. Her voice is most commonly described as angelic, and I agree.
Aurora has also made quite a few VERY beautiful covers, please do let me know if you would like to have a list to those as well.
Even more love and respect than last time from your Norwegian friend. Take care and stay safe ! Btw, I was shocked to hear that you are not English. To my Norwegian ears, you have perfect intonation. You must have at least ONE English parent I think ? :-)
Welcome to the wonderful world of "Warriors and Weirdos" (AURORA's fans, that is). She is not only a great singer and talented artist. She has a unique personality as well, with a vivid imagination and clear views on the world around her and on the world as a whole.

Age 17: Released her first song "Awakening"
Age 18: Released her first EP "Running With The Wolves"
Age 19: Released her first full album "All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend"
Age 19/20/21: Performed hundreds of live shows during her world tour

Age 25 (today): She recently finished her third full album "The Gods We Can Touch", it will be released next week on January 21, 2022
AURORA, (26 years - look younger) is a Norwegian singer and songwriter.(From the same country as Angelina Jordan). Among artists and in the music industry AURORA is synonymous with quality, and she can fill a record with masterpieces time and time again. Many others are glad they manage one hit. Billie Eilish said in an interview that it was AURORA that made her become an artist and were inspired after listen to Aurora. She is a true genius artist who does not make plastic / bikini music, but is true to real creative art.
She’s 25 years old, 15 of June she’ll become 26😉
Everyone puts her in with Angelina Jordan. There’s no comparison in my opinion. Aurora is uniquely unique.
@@kevinbrown3082 I agree. Angelina has a whole different voice, and she sings almost only cover songs.
While Aurora has been written many songs since she was 9, they are very different.
I think Angelina has a great voice, it’s just not my cup of tea🤷♀️
@@lillm6874 I like to refer to Angelina Jordan as Norways Rod Stewart , he also found fame and hits with mostly cover versions , glorified Karaoke. lol
Everythime I hear this live Concert I really need to cry, like I could really feel every note deep inside of me and that is why I love her music so much. You should also really listen to the whole concert from Nidarosdomen, but every video out there from her is a masterpiece. I am more than happy for you, that you found her 🥰
Exactly my reaction when I first heard her voice. Stunningly amazing how she bares her soul.
Have to agree with Jos Koegeler, "Murder Song 54321" from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert is another shockingly mind-blowing delivery from Aurora. "Runaway" is also outstanding, but I prefer her official video release set outdoors in Norway, which has about 350 million views. Aurora is touring the UK in April, have booked to see her, recommend that as a worthwhile life experience for anyone of any age who loves the best in music and performance. Great reaction Lisa - I feel the same whenever I listen to her - and it doesn't wear off!
yeah, that's what she does. she is the Queen, the faerie princess, the embodiment of artistic emotion, please go down this journey.. the Warriors and Weirdos will be here.
Oooh so kind words for my thiny soulhealer. She make us happy and Lucky. Hope that you make it to react to her song Lucky in Nidarosdomen. That one is my favourite ever. It's otherwortly....and you..... don't forget some napkin. When you listen to it think that she wrote it when she was 9 years old. See ya
Welcome to the wonderful journey you're abaout to experience. I suggest you react to Murder Song live at nobel preace prize....it's another masterpiece of hers. Great reaction and I love the effect Aurora causes on people and just saying...she does this no matter if you're a new fan or an old one.
Aurora inserts her mind and body so deeply into her live performances, you will see her often take a brief moment to return to the present at the end of a song.
For years i didn't know who owns that magical voice behind the siren that's calling Elsa. But now i know and thanks to Disney for letting Aurora sing as the siren calling Elsa through that way i have known this unique human being ❤.
I loved your reaction! I have goosebumps whenever I listen to her! She is the most unique and magical artist!
That's the 'Aurora effect' 😂 this is just the beginning you won't regret it 😉
She get right into your heart !.She sure got to my heart.Loved your reaction it was pure just like amothers heart
🥰
Aurora has made music we we all didn't know we desperately needed. You should listen and react to her songs, Heathens, Winter birds, Murder song
Welcome to the magnificent world of Warriors and weirdos...She does that to nearly everyone on their first listen....enjoy and explore...but be prepared to be amazed and mesmerized..."Queendom' would be my next recommendation...or "Lucky" live at Nidarosdomen as well...Hope to follow you on your Aurora Journey.
I have followed her since first hearing her back in 2015 with her song Puppet, in my quest for finding music outside the normal North American commercialized garbage they keep putting out here and have to say I have come across many amazing artists from all over the world, Aurora is one of my favorites artists no question, so down to earth and genuine a true treasure she is
Привет из Западной Сибири, города Омск. Первый раз вижу и слышу юную певицу Аврору. Потрясающе! Уникальная певица-артистка. Рождена для сцены. Поймала себя на мысли, что есть музыкальная тенденция это подобие шаманского пения. Да это выросло поколение кристаллических детей, до этого были дети-индиго, им сейчас где-то 39 лет. Кристаллические дети чуткие и одарённые от природы. Благодарю вас за видео. Вы расширили мой кругозор.
Great reaction. Good to see people discovering Magical Aurora. Please react to runaway (live at 2015 Nobel peace prize concert). Thank you.
Dear Samantha
Thank you for your lovely reaction on this wonderful song, sung by this amazing young and talented artist. It was like listening to an angel singing from the heavens. Thanks for bringing awareness on such marvelous artist who express herself with beautiful lyrism and artistry. Listening and viewing her performance was like an ethereal and spiritual experience. It is so comforting to be able to witness such awe-inspiring human beings, as it reminds us that despite all the darkness that often prevail in this world, there is "beauty" that is worth living for, and for which we should be all grateful as it can incite us to do our part to make this world a better place.
Thank you again Samantha.
🥰
Norway strikes again 😎 I would suggest Lucky from Nidarosdomen or Runaway (either orignal vid or live from Nobel peace concert) for your next reactions to Aurora =)
Pure love
Most exquisite, captivating, angelic, quirky, emotive, female performer out there!!!!!! She is my female obsession while Dimash is my male obsession!!!!
If you listen to more Aurora, she has a huge catalogue of original and cover songs, be prepared to be taken on an incredible journey. She has many live concerts from around the world on UA-cam. Her new album is due to be released in a few days. She is a songwriter, singer, producer and dancer. A true Artiste in every respect. Enjoy the journey...you won't be disappointed by this young woman.
This reaction to AURORA is so appropriate. I felt the same when I listened to her the first time and everytime ever since.
I'm a 50 yrs old black man who grew up in a hard urban environment and she makes me so emotional whenever I hear her singing. I absolutely 💞 her. No 🧢
Great first time reaction. "Why did you have to go where I couldn't follow?" and "Sophie" are unique and open up Aurora's heart and soul like many other of her songs but take you into the human dimension outside of popular song and into the sphere of the sacred. Well worth repeated listening's. Thanks for presenting her as you did.
As a Tolkien fan, i love pronunciation. Lol.
Technically, you're pronouncing it right, and the "english" pronunciation is just anglicized. Same way we say "Sauron" and "Mordor" without rolling the R. It's technically incorrect. Christopher Lee made certain that was known on set.
There's a difference in pronunciation of names in Anime, as well. It has largely to do with the difference in sounds between our languages. I absolutely LOVE the unique notes and flavors that dress a language to be recognisable. I can recently notice the difference between Korean and Japanese, and it feels so exciting. Portuguese is a fun one, it sounds like so many things at once. I work in a restaurant with lots of people from Brazil. 💕
I can roll my Rs, so when i practice Spanish on Duolingo, or Portuguese at work, i make sure to get it right. Lol it's a big part of many Gaelic languages as well, which is part of my family history.
You might be interested to know then, that Aurora is from a part of Norway that uses guttural r's. You can hear her use them clearly in this (Norwegian) interview, where the guy is using our rolling r's as a good contrast. I couldn't find her say her own name (yet). ua-cam.com/video/hdbl_5uF8Z0/v-deo.html
ALWAYS watch her live first. Her stage performance is what really captures people.
Although her music video's can be interesting too. But it's not the same.
Congratulations with this treasure you found. Aurora is really one of a kind and very authentic. She channels her music through the whole of her being. She has the power to touch you in ways you never knew where there.
This whole X-mas concert is chilling, from the first until the last song. It was in Nidarosdomen, the Cathedral of Trondheim, Norway, produced by norsk television.
One of her very most beautiful songs is: 'it happened quiet', live at The Current.
You did a very good reaction, by opening up to her music and let it take you over. I subscribed.
I love 💕 Aurora! I subscribed.
Portland Oregon USA 🇺🇸
Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole. It is truely a magical place. I hope your journey is long and beautifully strange. Aurora is a siren. I would gladly sail my ship onto the rocks to hear her sing. Her song "Runaway" is a good next step. The music video has over 350 million views. That should tell you something.
So, your life just hit a Nexux moment. It is now defined in "before" and "after" you discovered Aurora
You have hit Gold dust with Aurora she is without doubt the best live performer I’ve ever seen and heard and live performances are the best way to react to her for you get to see the whole package of this amazing artist,in fact you may have heard her before without realising that it was her if you know of the Disney movie Frozen 2 Aurora was the voice that Elsa heard in the song “into the unknown “you are now starting a journey that make you feel so many emotions all good I promise but trust me you will need a box of tissues to dry the many tears that will flow listening to our wonderful queen,your next reaction for me would be a song from the same concert at nidarosdomen called Lucky it’s a song that she wrote at the age of 9 it’s a masterpiece ❤️🍎❤️🍎❤️
Another Norwegian, something in the water there 🤣 Same country as Angelina Jordan ❤ Simply stunning, amazing and mesmerizing girl ❤
Aurora knows how to put a spell on you. I adore her. Watching video reactions of her is my favorite thing hhahaha
My favorites are Seed or Heathens. She is one of the core 5 Scandinavian female artists. Angelina J, Aurora, Eivor, Katherine (Kalandra) Maria Franz oh and Jonna Jilton.
Aurora was born 15 June 1996. I don't remember when this performance was...it was 4 years ago when she was 22. She's been singing a lot longer sings, writes, produces. She is from Norway. SHE was the voice of the North Wind calling to Elsa in Frozen 2. She has too many songs to list here. Go to her Aurora UA-cam page to get all you'd ever want to listen to her fantastic gift. But to me, this one is the one I love the most!
Nothing closer to an angel has yet sung on Eartn
Welcome to aurora world... She is and angel. I can't wait to see your reaction about more Aurora Aksnes.
Thank you so much.
Now you might understand why I call her our Queen of the North 🥰
