agree, at the moment hit me hard and soft at 2 but What happened to the heart has a lead with which you can fill the entire universe at 1 because to me along with all my demons and infections the best album ever
I also interpreted Invisible Wounds as possibly a message to the fans. I think during Step 1 and Step 2 she positioned herself as the “Queen” of the Queendom and I think she set up this image of herself as this guiding light for her fans. But fans then also put pressure on her to be perfect and flawless, which just isn’t possible. And she’s been pretty vocal about how upset she is with things going on in the world. I think she’s matured to realize that she can’t be this perfect guiding light for her fans because she’s still human too, and she’s also hurting. “I need you to stop needing me” because she can’t be responsible for fixing everyone when she needs to heal herself first.
This was the best reaction that I have seen in my life and no other reaction gonna top this🥲😂 This was EXACTLY the feeling when I first heard this album. Ahhh the best reaction. This video was GOLD I think I might rewatch this forever lol
The first time I listened to Dreams I balled my eyes out completely, as for myself I am literally trapped within a religion that just breaks me apart and has been doing since the day I was born into it. So when Aurora said that she abandoned a religion and never came back IT. HIT. HARD, in the best and worst way possible. Then she started talking about covering tracks and remaining hidden which made me cry even more because its what I've had to do to lead my own 'shadow' life away from the religion. To say the least I cried again with you this time and it felt so relieving, thx Fern.
Invisible Wounds and Echo of My Shadow are fully about herself; her own thoughts and feelings. The songs in between messages are not about herself. My Body is Not Mine is "Ceasefire now!" overlayed with "Is this all you got!?". Aurora said in the WHTTH watch party that she feels the most like herself than she has ever been in any of her albums so far. Lovely reaction ❤
Fun fact, CB’s isn’t just all over My Body Is Not Mine, but in an interview Aurora said she sent the track to Tom and asked him please, if you’ve got a little time, could you please vomit all over this? He sent it back in a couple few hours, and she loved it, kept everything had done to it.
The way you understood what the story was by track 2!! She said Echo of my shadow was her saying goodbye to a past version of her and this whole album is about her grappling with the state of humanity without finding an escape (mothership vibes). Dreams is literally her saying it’s easier to find peace in her fantasies. So human!!
yea, this is why Dreams is in the middle of the album. It's like she had gone to sleep, dreaming about her idealizations and waking up just to realize nothing changes, the world continues its evil and pain. I've felt that because depression makes you want to run away from reality
a theme of this album is how the heart use to be viewed as holding emotions but know its just viewed as an organ, so as we get towards the end it gets a lot darker as we are going deeper into the heart
Okay, hello miss you are slaying with those vocals. Your perspective on this album was so insightful. Aurora is truly amazing but often it's her fans, reactors like you that break things down in ways I wouldn't think of and your perspectives break mine and it gives me hope. Like there's still love in the world. And then I truly feel love for our warriors and weirdos just trying to survive all over the world...Thank you for this reaction.
So awesome seeing you get to this one, and you didn't disappoint! That was a really fun reaction. So many great tracks and so many great surprises, huh? Yeah, very worthy of AOTY!
Hey again, Fern! I was always checking your channel to see if you've reacted to this album... and omg it was an AMAZING react! I cried while watching you cry so many times. I do really feel this is AOTY. The lyrics are so so so important. Production is 100% genius. Just want to let you know I love your videos, your voice when you sing along the melodies, and I wish you an amazing week. Thank you for sharing your point of view with us, dear.
"what happened to the heart?" WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HEART! Literally this album wherever you look into it feels like a revision of my heart and its feel veeeery deeply
I am so glad I wasn't the only one who lost their shit for the whole central part of the album - earthly delights - dark dresses lightly - soul without a king - dreams --- It is giving possessed by Kate Bush vibes in the best way. Thanks for posting this reaction. I absolutely love this to.
... have used some days to se this reaction ( because its long ) - listen to you I remeber Aurora said in a interview - that she had eight messages to the world, and this album is the fourth message... she is something this litle big woman. ( I love to reactions to her music because I have worked as a therapist for over 20 years - and seing people open theyr heart to her music is fantastic - and your reactions are fantastic !) And you have a lot of knowledge and wisdom as well. Best from Bergen
THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER THIS ALBUM IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING!!! Just cried with you lol, thanks btw for you're reaction videos.. your channel really feels like something special to me ❤
no idea but it was the same with the Charli Xcx album too. I was grateful cuz i felt i was going to be the only one reacting a month later hahaha ! i say my reasons at the start of the vid xxxx
Even if it took a month for you to react it was hella worth it!!! Thank you so much it was absolutely amazing to go on this journey again and learn so much more about the album and just feel everything again❤️❤️
It's hard for me to watch such long videos without noticing the time passing or skipping parts. However, your video caught my attention, your voice, your accent (I loved it), your way of being and sincerity. You represent many people who are like you. I truly hope that you are cured of whatever illness you have! Stay well, take care of yourself and keep us updated🎀💕
You are so good at analyzing and expressing your experiences with Auroras music ❤❤❤. Emotion is the “ engine “ in human lives- so thank you 🙏 ❤❤😂( remember that you touch us with your emotions in this reaction) Best from Bergen ❤
the essence, my name, echo of my shadow , dreams, my body is not mine, the conflict of the mind, your blood and invisible wounds are ... 😍...😭😭😭the whole album is the best I ever heard, what a masterpeace and indeed my god it's a lot, i heard and saw when the dark dresses lightly and Starvation at ravnedalen and it is unearthly. In Invisible Wounds you also hear Aurora crying, and I immediately fall for it, Invisible Wounds is my new best song ever (along with Infections, Lucky and Through the Eyes).
Sick and miserable at the moment, so that was a fun distraction thank you😊. With all the artists or influences mentioned, I also definitely hear some Kate Bush. Definitely in WTDDL. Absolutely amazing album. I wondered if she would ever be able to top "The Gods We Can Touch", and then she did 🤯. I had three clear favorites when I fist listened, but as I listen more, other songs are starting to catch up.
As Brian Eno said in an interview: The Norwegian singer Aurora, who's one of the most extraordinary people i've met. Absolutely original human being. You just think, who designed her ? She is ... she's such a oneoff wonderful person. ua-cam.com/video/JcsWAjFXFOo/v-deo.html
QUEEN, I love your reactions, you really feel the songs in a Spiritual way, i wonder if you have a lot of water placements in your birth chart, i feel you
aurora has always been one of my favorite artists of all time and this album somehow exceeded all of the already VERY high expectations i had for her. it is so beautiful and different from anything she has done before yet still so recognizably her style
I laughed out loud watching you through the last part and after Starvation, it's the joy I found as a rave girl ! I was waiting for her to embrace this kind of electronic style! Love your reaction to this album!
thank you so much for this reaction+review! been listening to this album since it came out but didn't get to fully understand all the songs just on my own. watching this felt like i was analysing the music along with you for two hours (although it's x2 of that, or more, for you), and progressively feeling everything through the tracklist - from Echo of My Shadow and the pop bangers, transitioning to the dark folky tracks, escaping into Dreams, to the rage in the last few songs and finally to Invisible Wounds 🥲 (might be her most personal yet honest song we have so far!). anyway, definitely will come back to this video myself too! AOTY, or even AOTD because this entire body of work is so important and realised in such a way people like us who feel so deeply, and for everyone to resonate and come to terms within ourselves. it's not an easy album to create really because as mentioned, it's existential and realised, but the end result is... a masterpiece. so so proud of AURORA, and her for tackling the question title by taking us through this amazing sonic journey 🥹
Yesss! I really really enjoyed this reaction, the best imo🦋 I’m obsessed with this album, and I agree that it’s the album of the year😍😍🤘🤘 It’s so hard to have favourites, because I love all the songs❤️ In no particular order: “Dreams” “Starvation” “The Blade” “Invisible wounds” “My body is not mine” “Your Blood” “The essence” “A soul with no King” +++ lol I highly recommend checking out “A soul with no King” remix featuring NATURE + the stripped down live version at Vevo And also “Some type of skin” stripped down version live at Vevo (filmed the same day as ASWNK😍😍 And also her live performance of “The dark dresses lightly” at the Roskilde festival 😍
Something fantastic about the album is how Aurora does not fear to do political statements too with her music (aka p4lest1ne’s G3no side) and about the rest of the world too, as well as songs similar to The seed, ugh i just love her
something about aurora's music reaches out into you and stirs the soul in a way no other artist can in my opinion! I love to watch people's reaction videos to her to see others experiencing the magic of it, her art is a wondrous thing and that seems to be the consensus we've all arrived on sdjskdsa unrelated, but that dark vampy lip suits you so well! you look like a painting or a 1920s movie star in the thumbnail! 💗💗
i feel that aurora really embraced norwegian folkmusic in a soul with no king and i love that as a norwegian
When the dark dresses lightly gives me brain chills. It is so damn good.
This album is flawless. The Essence actually may have changed the trajectory of my life.
No disrepect to Billie but "What Happened to the Heart" is on another level.
Definitely
agree, at the moment hit me hard and soft at 2 but What happened to the heart has a lead with which you can fill the entire universe at 1 because to me along with all my demons and infections the best album ever
Im obsessed with both albums. So glad to have so much music to listen to. I jump between both albums daily.
This has to be an award winning album. Loved your reaction. Thanks
nah billie did it better
@@chiakinanami965 Billie's album is very good, but none of her songs come near to Starvation or My Body Is Not Mine
@@markusandergard6925a soul with no king is too awesome to be left out and the singles are so integral to the theme of the album
@@chiakinanami965lol no
@@chiakinanami965Billie’s album is awesome but both are absolutely on the same level

Yeah I also feel that song so hard. I always dissociated as a kid because my life was shitty most of the time. Hope you get out of there one day.

You reacting to AURORA brings me so much peace

Always love how real you are Ferne. This is a treat! Hope to support your Patreon when I'm in a more stable financial position
That reaction Starvation was BRILLIANT hahaha, what a WILD track
Invisible Wounds is so emotional and personal. From what I've seen Aurora doesn't seem to be able to get through singing this one live without crying

omg you're right !! she's even into a bath full of Blood in the Starvation video !!
1:02:45 just....wow
Yesss! I really really enjoyed this reaction, the best imo🦋
I’m obsessed with this album, and I agree that it’s the album of the year😍😍🤘🤘
It’s so hard to have favourites, because I love all the songs❤️
In no particular order:
“Dreams”
“Starvation”
“The Blade”
“Invisible wounds”
“My body is not mine”
“Your Blood”
“The essence”
“A soul with no King”
+++ lol
I highly recommend checking out “A soul with no King” remix featuring NATURE + the stripped down live version at Vevo
And also “Some type of skin” stripped down version live at Vevo (filmed the same day as ASWNK😍😍
And also her live performance of “The dark dresses lightly” at the Roskilde festival 😍
Unfortunately I have to wait 293 days to see her live in Portugal. I already bought the ticket!!!
omg , how exciting , something to look forward to at least. i desperately want to see her again ... i need to see the songs on this album live!
Same here! I have never seen her live and have been a huge fan since the first album. This one is my favourite tho, mal posso esperar 🥺🥺🥺
Love you!!!❤️
I love your reactions, also this one!
love the reaction!!! ive played the album on repeat dancing like a madman in the street since it came out
One of the best reaction I've seen ❤
Something fantastic about the album is how Aurora does not fear to do political statements too with her music (aka p4lest1ne’s G3no side) and about the rest of the world too, as well as songs similar to The seed, ugh i just love her
something about aurora's music reaches out into you and stirs the soul in a way no other artist can in my opinion! I love to watch people's reaction videos to her to see others experiencing the magic of it, her art is a wondrous thing and that seems to be the consensus we've all arrived on sdjskdsa
unrelated, but that dark vampy lip suits you so well! you look like a painting or a 1920s movie star in the thumbnail! 💗💗
Def check out the live Vevo performance of Some Type of Skin. So good.
Its about good damn time Fern. What the hell? What took you so long? Just joking baby. Good to see you. Love from Norway.
