Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole! In 6 months I've gone from not knowing her to being my favorite current artist (and overall human beings). There are literally hundreds of amazing music videos, live performances, interviews, and documentaries. Enjoy!
Just like me.. I never knew what genre I liked/ or into but as soon as I heard Aurora's song Runaway and her other songs back in 2019 I have been fixated up till now!! I never regret stumbling on that video! Love Aurora

That hit me hard too, the first time I heard it. She was 19 at the time. If you like the striped down stuff, I recomend all thre songs from "Live at the current". If prevare a konzert, The Honda stage is realy good "I went to far" or "Under the Water" . She makes excelent covers too. I wish you a lot of fun on your AURORA-journey!
Welcome to an amazing journey~ Just dropping my personal favourite as recommendation: Aurora "It happened quiet" live at the Current still equally expressive but in a different way
Will, your erudite comments are spot on. You have taken the first step on the amazing journey into discovering the wonders of the work of this mesmerising artist. However, as the old saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet." and watching and listening to Aurora's songs and interviews from this point in 2015 to the present time will, delight, surprise and enthral you. Three suggestions if I may, 1/ Any song (or even better, the whole concert) from the Nidarosdomen (Trondheim Cathedral) concert of 2017, which is an artistic masterpiece of the highest possible level (venue, staging, performances, recording quality), 2/ The same for the magical HAIK documentary/concert from 2019 (which was filmed in the forest where Aurora played in her childhood) and 3/ The stunning rendition of "It Happened Quiet" live at The Current (just voices and guitar). In the meantime, here is a little gem that highlights not only Aurora's talent but also her fantastic, quirky personality - this is an off the cuff acapella version of Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" (this song is the first one in Aurora's Nidarosdomen concert), with some banter with the audience, from a concert in Amsterdam in 2018 (ua-cam.com/video/1-LtCbPUoTM/v-deo.html ). I hope that you can find the time to watch and enjoy it.
Thank you for this great reaction to my favourite artist😊 She had so many great songs, I actually don’t know any bad ones. I of course have favourites, but they are many lol I would highly recommend the whole concert at Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway) 2017, it’s an experience you don’t want to be without👍
Yes, it's indeed a Martin usually played by Odd Martin Skålnes (in acoustic set up), who was a member of Aurora's group at that time. Aurora was 19 when she did this performance, her first in such a big stage. She's born in Summer 1996, she's 27 years old now. It's really sad that there are still people who don't know her yet, they really miss something, don't they?😉 Her musical world is wide and varied, and you will always find her deeply immersed in her songs live, although this can manifest itself in very different ways, depending on many factors, including her mood and feelings at that time. I see you already have some suggestions, mainly live, except The Seed, whose synergy between the images and the powerful sounds make the MV clearly worth a reaction (her MVs are usually interesting to watch, btw). I would add: 20171102 - AURORA - Nidarosdomen - 09/12 Through the eyes of a child: ua-cam.com/video/RkxSnRVoDOQ/v-deo.html (Nidarosdomen is the location of the concert, to be known, for sure) Aurora - Under the Water (Live on the Honda Stage): ua-cam.com/video/zVGQWw4Ap6o/v-deo.html Anyway, I thank Rana (H?) for the great suggestion, and you for your nice reaction to Aurora, this so intense singing butterfly from Norway.
She is true Artist. Her music has a lot of variation too. It is hard to go wrong with her music (a lot of great music and sounds), but I would recommend f.e. Lucky live in Nidarosdomen (she wrote this when was 9, but finished it a little later :) ).
Congrats on finding Aurora, she's really something special. Definitely stick on her live stuff as it's the way to go with her on first listens. A few suggestions for you to check out next: Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert Lucky (Nidarosdomen Concert) - she began writing this song at 9 years old after falling out of a tree as a child I believe, finished the writing/song years later. Through the Eyes of a Child (Nidarosdomen Concert) It Happened Quiet (LIVE at The Current) Life on Mars (David Bowie Cover Aurora) Believer (Imagine Dragons Cover Aurora) - small side note on this one, they gave her 30min-1hour to cover this song without her knowing the song prior. The Seed (HAIK Forest Concert) - this was a surprise concert for her in a forest near where she grew up, with another surprise for her during the song. (you'll see what I mean if you ever check it out) Any of these are great to start the rabbit hole with, but honestly there's hours of captivating performances. Even a documentary which is incredible (HAIK Documentary). Enjoy the ride brother, there's nothing else like it.
Honestly, her entire performance at Nidorasdomen is an S-Rank musical experience. You should do "Through the Eyes of a Child" from that concert and maybe accidentally watch the rest of it too 😂 And then do "All is Soft Inside," performed live on the radio 😬
I'm still relatively new to Aurora myself, but yeah, like Ren she comes at storytelling and music from unusual, unique angles. 2 very different artists, but MAN what I would not give to see them do a song together. The other song she performed that night at the Nobel concert was her song Runaway, and it seems to be the version people gravitate towards (yes, I agree that it's a stunning performance). I hugely recommend her song It Happened Quiet, done LIVE for The Current. It's a super heavy one, in case you happen to be trying to not overwhelm your uploads with unintended runs of heavy subject matter, lol.
Great reaction!!! Her live performances are always amazing. I highly recommend as next reactions Lucky live at Nidarosdomen and It Happened Quiet live at The Current.
I'd maybe recommend doing another live performance - It Happened Quiet (at the Current) - you'll know then just how vocally talented she is and then from there, Runaway (which made her famous) and then there's 40 more at least after that each of which will hit you differently . . . incredibly gifted artist and human being.
Aurora is an amazing artist!! You can’t go wrong with het music because they are always very different and creative. She shines on her live performances, usually her music sounds even better live than in the studio version because you can see her emotions. It’s just beautiful 💜
Aurora was 19 here though looking younger, and she is 27 now (28 in June 2024). This was still early in her career in Dec 2015 (she was "discovered" at a festival in Oslo in March 2014), and this performance was her biggest so far with ~8000 in the huge arena as well as being livestreamed and cameras recording for TV (not sure if live TV), and she said in the interview afterwards, that she was very nervous. But she has this amazing ability to completely immerse herself in the music and her feelings, so she doesn't care about the surroundings. She writes her own music and lyrics and has released 3 albums and 2 EPs so far, and we are waiting for her 4th album very soon within the next 1-6 months probably, she just released the 2nd single from it on Jan 18th "The Conflict of the Mind". The next logical step would be the song "Runaway" from this same concert. It is the biggest song of her career, and she has even recommended it herself a few times as an introduction to her music. The song went viral in 2021, when it was 6 years old because it was used in a TikTok meme, and it actually reached top 20 world wide on Spotify, so you might have heard at least the snippet used in the meme videos (with silhouette snapshots over a starry background).
Omg I could recommend Aurora performances for days!! She’s an artist that needs to be seen and experienced, and not just simply heard, so I always encourage you to watch her live stuff as opposed to studio versions, but here’s some of my favorites: Runaway (also from the Nobel concert), It Happened Quiet (live at the current), Through The Eyes Of A Child and Lucky (from the Nidarosdomen concert), The Seed (from the Haik documentary)… plus she has some amazing covers that she breathes her magic fairy Aurora-ness all over, like David Bowie’s Life On Mars, Massive Attack’s Teardrop, and Boney M’s Rasputin… and if I were to recommend one of her music videos it would have to be for Queendom. I can’t wait to watch you go down the Aurora rabbit hole. It’s pure fucking magic in there!! ❤✨😊
Aurora is something else. A wonderful human...artist..singer...songwriter. If you listen to her concert from Nidarosdomen in Trondheim...I will se you on the other side....after that experience. There is som much for you...Welcome to the amazing world of Aurora. Great reaction, Thank you!
This is a lovley reaction. AURORA is a self-taught piano and singer. She is from norway, and she started making melodies when she was 6 years old . The words came when she was 9 or 11 years old. She is a multi talent. She can paint, dance, and make meaningful music. Her new songs is very different from what we have seen of her. She is in a new area, but she still sounds like her so its best to check out the old songs first! its a bit hard to give recommendations because all of her songs are beautiful but i recommend her cop26 concert she sings alot of her songs that is popular and its mostly acoustic. In that way, you also get to see her speak to the crowd and understand her as an artist and what she stands for. Aurora doesn't write about herself. She always says the music is bigger than her, and she has a longer vision about what music is and what it could do for us, it can make you dance, cry or be sad or happy. She have made a lot of songs and realised them many years after because she is realising them when she thinks the world needs it the most. Aurora is the most authentic person I think you will see in the music industry. She writes all of her songs mostly all alone. She produces them on her own terms and make her musicvideos too. Aurora herself is art. She is also very strict when it comes to her band and the people she works with she said, "I need people that don't look at the notes while playing." When she writes music, she has something to say. It has become more "political" she sings about the right to love, racism and the most important to her is mother earth as she call the world. She was mostly in the forest when she was a child all the time,alone, and she still loves it.. Her parents used a big cow bell to call her in to dinner. If you see cop26, you will understand it. When she was little, she didn't like to be with a lot of people, and she only got social media because she became an artist. She dont care about fame and has a totally other view on success than others. Us from Norway is obviously so proud of her and we think its fun thats so many can see her talent and help others to feel.she iis having a norwegian tour and people from 48 countries are coming to see her. She is just pure and so authentic. I think you will love her singing live. ❤
Very enjoyable reaction. Aurora is not your typical mainstream artist and she isn't doing this for fame or fortune, she writes to help people deal with the hardships of life. Her songs are thought provoking and she is a lyrical genius. She starting putting words to music at a very young age, she wrote for herself, to help her deal with her emotions, she is very emphatic and feels so much sorrow for the hardships of others who are not treated well. She calls her fan base Warriors and Weirdos because she wants to remind everyone to be a warrior because sometimes it is very hard being a human and those who struggle everyday are seen as weak when they are really the strongest. Weirdos because Aurora can be seen as weird when in reality she is authentic, unique and wonderfully quirky. Thanks for a great reaction to my all time favorite artist and I might add that every song at Nidarosdomen is stellar, that whole concert is the best concert ever.
She basically can't help it at this point. The emotions making her write in the first place, returns when she performs. Her songs are not often this dark these days, bust she was always occupied with death. She got sad receiving gifts as a kid, as she knew she couldn't take them with her when she dies 😄. Unique human and artist in the best way. Great lyrics that aren't always clear, as she wants listeners to find their own meaning. Some exceptions, when she wants her message to be loud and clear, like with "The Seed".
Nice reaction to our Svengali untying this emotional knot. May I suggest, in the following order: It Happened Quiet (Live at the Current), Through the Eyes of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen), All is Soft Inside (Live on KEXP), Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), Queendom (Loustic Sessions), Warrior (Steigl Hidden Studio Sessions), Black Water Lillies (SXSW 2016), The Seed (Greenpeace).... There are so many unique and entrancing performances. It's also worth looking at the same song performed at different times. For example: Murder Song (Steigl Hidden Studio Sessions) to contrast with this performance. I am surprised she hasn't received wider recognition. But at the same time, not everyone knew who John Coltrane was either.
Aurora is a special kind of human. She sees the world in a different way and her songs are very varied. As she sings in the moment she is best live and keeps reinterpreting her works. Her concert at the Nidarosdomen is a masterpiece and an emotional roller coaster. Her very recent works are very different, as her fans would expect. try "Your Blood".
She never misses! 🙃 One of my very favorites is her performance at KEXP of the song, 'All is Soft Inside'. Buuuut they're all pretty fucking great.. enjoy!!
Just subscribed. I've seen Aurora live and she's fantastic, funny, quirky, I love her! She has a wide range styles. From soothing "Through the Eyes of a Child" to poppy "Cure for me" to "In Boxes" a tongue in cheek song about a female serial killer who keeps body parts under her bed (Lollapalooza, Chicago 2016.8.1). lol. She's just amazing.
Ohohooh - then I really recommend this two to go on with: I went to far/Honda Stage ua-cam.com/video/Y2AqeH1GPs4/v-deo.html And Warrior/Haik Concert ua-cam.com/video/oUSil-WTbRo/v-deo.html Have fun! Greetings from Munich 😀
You have no idea what you've done! You will never be the same again! Check out Runaway from this same venue. Aurora does this with every performance. She becomes whatever it is that she sings.
You may want to watch her MV for "Runaway", it's where the rabbit hole begins. She just released two mv's recently - Your Blood and The Conflict of the Mind. Both seem to be new directions, style wise for her. She is a joy to experience wether it's a live performance, interview or Tik Tok stream. You won't be sorry.🤘
You have probably heard her song ‘Runaway’.. with 616 million views, it would have been hard to avoid. 😂 But if you haven’t, and you react to it. Be aware she was 11 when she wrote Runaway. 11. 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you ! The more you hear of Aurora the more you get amazed - dont forget to listen to her lyrics, its a message to us all - about love each other and ouer self. She has a extended empatic abillity. She makes everthing herself - also her music videos are also amazing - and ofcourse her live performances. Best from Bergen, Norway
Welcome to a better world! The world with Aurora in it ❤. Great reaction! I am 53 years old, I am fan of Elvis, Queen, Chris de Burgh, Springsteen and many other.... but this woman.... she is simply in one way "the girl next door", and at the same time a very different kind of human. I have in my life never had problems talking to anybody, but when I met her I did not manage to say a singel word..... not because she is scary, but because I was afraid my emotions would flood out of control. And I am not like that.... I don't know why she effects me like that... I just admire her art so much it makes me a big wimp 😂. Please check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen consert.
There is something about Aurora, and how she expresses herself. When I look at her and her movements, I see someone that's 'living' her song. She's there, in her song. It's inwards, it's not like she's "telling" other people a story - you know when artists look into the public and try to connect with them -, instead she's showing us the story. It's fascinating but works so well.
Great reaction! Usually a "down the road" Aurora reaction, but I'll throw it in early. (CC on for translation, she sings in Norwegian) Video title: Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (live)
Thank you so much for your great reaction to this masterpiece 🙏🥰Please react to the most beautiful song and performance ever, Aurora "Through the eyes of a child" live at Nidarosdomen, a beautiful cathedral in Norway 🤩🤩
Enjoyed ur reaction! Big AURORA fan here. No one else like her, esp. live. I notice you have never reacted to someone else that AURORA influenced who is also a once in a gen. talent, Billie EIlish. Billie mentions that when she saw AURORA's video for her hit 'Runaway' Billie knew she wanted to perform and sing publicly. There is so much to both of these talents, (Billie is really a duo with her brother). Thanks again.
I loved your reaction! Aurora has a lot of beautiful songs. Maybe you can start with; Runaway: ua-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/v-deo.html Lucky: ua-cam.com/video/AmTiqR2_VAw/v-deo.html It happened quiet: ua-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/v-deo.html The seed: ua-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/v-deo.html Exhale Inhale: ua-cam.com/video/hJcIVes-6r4/v-deo.html
Will, you are in for one wild ride. Aurora will take you on a journey your heart and soul will never get over. It doesn't matter which of her songs you listen to. There are no bad Aurora songs. Some will break your heart, some will sooth your soul, and some will do both at the same time. She is magic.
There’s dozen of things to see/hear of her next, and if in doubt her live performances are typically superior, but let your regular viewers recommend specific live performances for specific songs … I’ll put in this one for your queue, actually two I recommend back to back, without out pause, the official album versions of, A Different Kind of Human, followed immediately by, Mothership, both off the album titled, A Different Kind of Human … enjoy all that’s coming at you, you’re in for a series of treats.
Aurora and Ren. My favorite contemporary musical artists. They both create their own amazing songs, and do covers that are often better than the original and really mean it when they perform. Aurora is also a very quirky and hilarious person who is the personification of love. The best humanity has to offer. If this is your first exposure, you are in for a real treat as there is so much more.
@@Josian-ps7fb No worries. Everyone needs a bit of Aurora in their lives. I’ve seen her live twice when she came to Australia and she is simply wonderful. Her music, her personality, all of it. ❤️
For me when Aurora sang that high note or how she expanding her voice and it was more open up, the next part when she sings "Oh he did it all to spear me from the awful things in life that comes" looks as if she's screaming but her voice stands out because its so perfect and angelic.
AURORA shines in live more. Genius. I recommend you to check her live performance of whole nobel peace prize, Nidarosdomen, Honda stage, KPEX etc., so many wonderful videos are waiting for you.
She is a soul healer, writing song at first to help herself to deal with emotion. Everything that she bring out have a purpus, a message and as it's comiing out of her soul to heal herself, it's heal us as well. Always meaningfull, every song is tricky, funny or gut wranching but also southing and conforting. Many will tell you that her live perfo are better but I will say that the MV always have meaning as well, try The Seed.
Oh yeah,,,,,another rabbit hole to go down, you are in for a wild ride. My choice for next time would be 'It happened quiet' at the Current or any performance from the concert at Nidarosdomen, Her live songs are incredible.
Hello my friend Will!!....No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer, with an stunning range voice, who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"....In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Just make sure that every performance you see of Aurora is live! After checking out 6-7 live performances, then see some music videos. I will personally recommend “Through the eyes of a Child, live at Nidarosdomen”, and the live version to the cover of “Live On Mars” recorded by “Trygdekontoret” on NRK. Sorry for some tongue-twisting words here and there, but she is Norwegian 🇳🇴🥵😁
My understanding of the meaning of this song lyrics is that it is about someone that is facing their fate & wanting to end the pain & die mercifully. I know it's a little deeper than that but thats the basics of the meaning behind the lyrics. Aurora is a true treasure. If you do more reactions of Aurora then stick to live performances because that is where she shines the brightest.
Never heard of Aurora? Well this will be a trip I might have to sub for. I used to not like her. Thought she was weird. Now she's one of my favorite people to exist. She's a great artist, but it's more about who she is as a person.
Hi Will Welcome Too Aurora And there Are Many Songs Runaway, The Seed And Her New Conflict Of The Mind And if time watch her Perform In The Nidarosdomen Cathedral Concert And She Has a Very Funny Attitude Which I love and Very Straight And Rude and my own Op-ion is an Angel and what you hear is straight From Above AS like Angelina Jordan Humble My Two most Fantastic Artists In the World. Enjoy, Cry and Take in what is Said !!!!!! Chris Tredwell Birmingham UK Aged 76 & 10 Months
Great reaction and welcome in Aurora‘s world. Can you please react to „Dimash Kudaibergen - SOS d'un terrien en détresse“? It will blow your mind and I will be sure, that he is the best singer of the world.
Just a tip. Its better from an esthetic point, to put the video on top of your image that the other way around. Now your image is blocking out much of the video and from a audience point of view that's not so good. As I said, just a tip.
Welcome to the Aurora rabbit hole! In 6 months I've gone from not knowing her to being my favorite current artist (and overall human beings). There are literally hundreds of amazing music videos, live performances, interviews, and documentaries. Enjoy!
Lmao the Aurora rabbit hole
You not wrong
Just like me.. I never knew what genre I liked/ or into but as soon as I heard Aurora's song Runaway and her other songs back in 2019 I have been fixated up till now!! I never regret stumbling on that video! Love Aurora

I wish you a lot of fun on your AURORA-journey!
Welcome to an amazing journey~
Just dropping my personal favourite as recommendation:
Aurora "It happened quiet" live at the Current
still equally expressive but in a different way
Through the eyes of a child live at Nidarosdomen next ! It will blow your mind too for sure !
If you liked this, you have to do It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current). It's simply wonderful.
Will, your erudite comments are spot on. You have taken the first step on the amazing journey into discovering the wonders of the work of this mesmerising artist. However, as the old saying goes, "You ain't seen nothin' yet." and watching and listening to Aurora's songs and interviews from this point in 2015 to the present time will, delight, surprise and enthral you. Three suggestions if I may, 1/ Any song (or even better, the whole concert) from the Nidarosdomen (Trondheim Cathedral) concert of 2017, which is an artistic masterpiece of the highest possible level (venue, staging, performances, recording quality), 2/ The same for the magical HAIK documentary/concert from 2019 (which was filmed in the forest where Aurora played in her childhood) and 3/ The stunning rendition of "It Happened Quiet" live at The Current (just voices and guitar). In the meantime, here is a little gem that highlights not only Aurora's talent but also her fantastic, quirky personality - this is an off the cuff acapella version of Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" (this song is the first one in Aurora's Nidarosdomen concert), with some banter with the audience, from a concert in Amsterdam in 2018 (ua-cam.com/video/1-LtCbPUoTM/v-deo.html ). I hope that you can find the time to watch and enjoy it.
Thank you for this great reaction to my favourite artist😊
She had so many great songs, I actually don’t know any bad ones. I of course have favourites, but they are many lol
I would highly recommend the whole concert at Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway) 2017, it’s an experience you don’t want to be without👍
Yes, it's indeed a Martin usually played by Odd Martin Skålnes (in acoustic set up), who was a member of Aurora's group at that time. Aurora was 19 when she did this performance, her first in such a big stage. She's born in Summer 1996, she's 27 years old now. It's really sad that there are still people who don't know her yet, they really miss something, don't they?😉
Her musical world is wide and varied, and you will always find her deeply immersed in her songs live, although this can manifest itself in very different ways, depending on many factors, including her mood and feelings at that time.
I see you already have some suggestions, mainly live, except The Seed, whose synergy between the images and the powerful sounds make the MV clearly worth a reaction (her MVs are usually interesting to watch, btw). I would add:
20171102 - AURORA - Nidarosdomen - 09/12 Through the eyes of a child: ua-cam.com/video/RkxSnRVoDOQ/v-deo.html
(Nidarosdomen is the location of the concert, to be known, for sure)
Aurora - Under the Water (Live on the Honda Stage): ua-cam.com/video/zVGQWw4Ap6o/v-deo.html
Anyway, I thank Rana (H?) for the great suggestion, and you for your nice reaction to Aurora, this so intense singing butterfly from Norway.
Omg Through The Eyes of a Child live gives me chills every time I hear/see it 🔥
She is true Artist. Her music has a lot of variation too. It is hard to go wrong with her music (a lot of great music and sounds), but I would recommend f.e. Lucky live in Nidarosdomen (she wrote this when was 9, but finished it a little later :) ).
Congrats on finding Aurora, she's really something special. Definitely stick on her live stuff as it's the way to go with her on first listens. A few suggestions for you to check out next:
Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert
Lucky (Nidarosdomen Concert) - she began writing this song at 9 years old after falling out of a tree as a child I believe, finished the writing/song years later.
Through the Eyes of a Child (Nidarosdomen Concert)
It Happened Quiet (LIVE at The Current)
Life on Mars (David Bowie Cover Aurora)
Believer (Imagine Dragons Cover Aurora) - small side note on this one, they gave her 30min-1hour to cover this song without her knowing the song prior.
The Seed (HAIK Forest Concert) - this was a surprise concert for her in a forest near where she grew up, with another surprise for her during the song. (you'll see what I mean if you ever check it out)
Any of these are great to start the rabbit hole with, but honestly there's hours of captivating performances. Even a documentary which is incredible (HAIK Documentary). Enjoy the ride brother, there's nothing else like it.
Honestly, her entire performance at Nidorasdomen is an S-Rank musical experience. You should do "Through the Eyes of a Child" from that concert and maybe accidentally watch the rest of it too 😂
And then do "All is Soft Inside," performed live on the radio 😬
I'm still relatively new to Aurora myself, but yeah, like Ren she comes at storytelling and music from unusual, unique angles. 2 very different artists, but MAN what I would not give to see them do a song together.
The other song she performed that night at the Nobel concert was her song Runaway, and it seems to be the version people gravitate towards (yes, I agree that it's a stunning performance).
I hugely recommend her song It Happened Quiet, done LIVE for The Current. It's a super heavy one, in case you happen to be trying to not overwhelm your uploads with unintended runs of heavy subject matter, lol.
This! It happened quiet live at the current is heavy but so moving. ❤️
Total agree and should not missed my favourite performance ever been made.. AURORA - Lucky live in Nidarosdomen 😉
She’s really amazing 🥹🫶🏽 Please react to it happened quiet - live at the current by aurora
Great reaction!!! Her live performances are always amazing. I highly recommend as next reactions Lucky live at Nidarosdomen and It Happened Quiet live at The Current.
Soft universe live in Nidarosdomen
I'd maybe recommend doing another live performance - It Happened Quiet (at the Current) - you'll know then just how vocally talented she is and then from there, Runaway (which made her famous) and then there's 40 more at least after that each of which will hit you differently . . . incredibly gifted artist and human being.
Thank you Rana for this!!
Please do It Happened Quiet ♥️
Aurora is an amazing artist!! You can’t go wrong with het music because they are always very different and creative. She shines on her live performances, usually her music sounds even better live than in the studio version because you can see her emotions. It’s just beautiful 💜
Aurora was 19 here though looking younger, and she is 27 now (28 in June 2024). This was still early in her career in Dec 2015 (she was "discovered" at a festival in Oslo in March 2014), and this performance was her biggest so far with ~8000 in the huge arena as well as being livestreamed and cameras recording for TV (not sure if live TV), and she said in the interview afterwards, that she was very nervous. But she has this amazing ability to completely immerse herself in the music and her feelings, so she doesn't care about the surroundings.
She writes her own music and lyrics and has released 3 albums and 2 EPs so far, and we are waiting for her 4th album very soon within the next 1-6 months probably, she just released the 2nd single from it on Jan 18th "The Conflict of the Mind".
The next logical step would be the song "Runaway" from this same concert. It is the biggest song of her career, and she has even recommended it herself a few times as an introduction to her music. The song went viral in 2021, when it was 6 years old because it was used in a TikTok meme, and it actually reached top 20 world wide on Spotify, so you might have heard at least the snippet used in the meme videos (with silhouette snapshots over a starry background).
👍🥰
Omg I could recommend Aurora performances for days!! She’s an artist that needs to be seen and experienced, and not just simply heard, so I always encourage you to watch her live stuff as opposed to studio versions, but here’s some of my favorites: Runaway (also from the Nobel concert), It Happened Quiet (live at the current), Through The Eyes Of A Child and Lucky (from the Nidarosdomen concert), The Seed (from the Haik documentary)… plus she has some amazing covers that she breathes her magic fairy Aurora-ness all over, like David Bowie’s Life On Mars, Massive Attack’s Teardrop, and Boney M’s Rasputin… and if I were to recommend one of her music videos it would have to be for Queendom. I can’t wait to watch you go down the Aurora rabbit hole. It’s pure fucking magic in there!! ❤✨😊
Yes, dynamics like in a good story. Her songs are stories mostly anyway. Even though some of them feel more like a movie. Enjoy your journey.
Aurora is something else. A wonderful human...artist..singer...songwriter. If you listen to her concert from Nidarosdomen in Trondheim...I will se you on the other side....after that experience. There is som much for you...Welcome to the amazing world of Aurora. Great reaction, Thank you!
This is a lovley reaction. AURORA is a self-taught piano and singer. She is from norway, and she started making melodies when she was 6 years old . The words came when she was 9 or 11 years old. She is a multi talent. She can paint, dance, and make meaningful music. Her new songs is very different from what we have seen of her. She is in a new area, but she still sounds like her so its best to check out the old songs first! its a bit hard to give recommendations because all of her songs are beautiful but i recommend her cop26 concert she sings alot of her songs that is popular and its mostly acoustic. In that way, you also get to see her speak to the crowd and understand her as an artist and what she stands for.
Aurora doesn't write about herself. She always says the music is bigger than her, and she has a longer vision about what music is and what it could do for us, it can make you dance, cry or be sad or happy. She have made a lot of songs and realised them many years after because she is realising them when she thinks the world needs it the most.
Aurora is the most authentic person I think you will see in the music industry. She writes all of her songs mostly all alone. She produces them on her own terms and make her musicvideos too. Aurora herself is art. She is also very strict when it comes to her band and the people she works with she said, "I need people that don't look at the notes while playing."
When she writes music, she has something to say. It has become more "political" she sings about the right to love, racism and the most important to her is mother earth as she call the world. She was mostly in the forest when she was a child all the time,alone, and she still loves it.. Her parents used a big cow bell to call her in to dinner. If you see cop26, you will understand it.
When she was little, she didn't like to be with a lot of people, and she only got social media because she became an artist. She dont care about fame and has a totally other view on success than others. Us from Norway is obviously so proud of her and we think its fun thats so many can see her talent and help others to feel.she iis having a norwegian tour and people from 48 countries are coming to see her.
She is just pure and so authentic. I think you will love her singing live. ❤
Very enjoyable reaction. Aurora is not your typical mainstream artist and she isn't doing this for fame or fortune, she writes to help people deal with the hardships of life. Her songs are thought provoking and she is a lyrical genius. She starting putting words to music at a very young age, she wrote for herself, to help her deal with her emotions, she is very emphatic and feels so much sorrow for the hardships of others who are not treated well. She calls her fan base Warriors and Weirdos because she wants to remind everyone to be a warrior because sometimes it is very hard being a human and those who struggle everyday are seen as weak when they are really the strongest. Weirdos because Aurora can be seen as weird when in reality she is authentic, unique and wonderfully quirky. Thanks for a great reaction to my all time favorite artist and I might add that every song at Nidarosdomen is stellar, that whole concert is the best concert ever.
Great written my friend....
@@hakanandersson1276 Thanks my fellow Warrior friend, you always have great comments.
This comment👆
Couldn’t agree more my friend🥰🥰
@@lillm6874 it wasn't to rambling? Lol. Thanks my dear friend 😍😍🥰
@@Oldperson-wt3ui You never ramble🥰🥰
She basically can't help it at this point. The emotions making her write in the first place, returns when she performs. Her songs are not often this dark these days, bust she was always occupied with death. She got sad receiving gifts as a kid, as she knew she couldn't take them with her when she dies 😄. Unique human and artist in the best way. Great lyrics that aren't always clear, as she wants listeners to find their own meaning. Some exceptions, when she wants her message to be loud and clear, like with "The Seed".
Aurora is the fifth element and must be protected at all cost.
Nice reaction to our Svengali untying this emotional knot. May I suggest, in the following order: It Happened Quiet (Live at the Current), Through the Eyes of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen), All is Soft Inside (Live on KEXP), Runaway (Nobel Peace Prize Concert), Queendom (Loustic Sessions), Warrior (Steigl Hidden Studio Sessions), Black Water Lillies (SXSW 2016), The Seed (Greenpeace).... There are so many unique and entrancing performances. It's also worth looking at the same song performed at different times. For example: Murder Song (Steigl Hidden Studio Sessions) to contrast with this performance. I am surprised she hasn't received wider recognition. But at the same time, not everyone knew who John Coltrane was either.
Aurora is a special kind of human. She sees the world in a different way and her songs are very varied. As she sings in the moment she is best live and keeps reinterpreting her works. Her concert at the Nidarosdomen is a masterpiece and an emotional roller coaster. Her very recent works are very different, as her fans would expect. try "Your Blood".
If you have seen Frozen 2, Aurora is that voice, that angel voice Elsa hears 👍
She never misses! 🙃 One of my very favorites is her performance at KEXP of the song, 'All is Soft Inside'. Buuuut they're all pretty fucking great.. enjoy!!
YES! My favorite performance of my favorite song of hers
Just subscribed. I've seen Aurora live and she's fantastic, funny, quirky, I love her! She has a wide range styles. From soothing "Through the Eyes of a Child" to poppy "Cure for me" to "In Boxes" a tongue in cheek song about a female serial killer who keeps body parts under her bed (Lollapalooza, Chicago 2016.8.1). lol. She's just amazing.
Ohohooh - then I really recommend this two to go on with:
I went to far/Honda Stage

And
Warrior/Haik Concert

Have fun!
Greetings from Munich 😀
Its all part of the process 😅 I like your reactions very much! Very profound and honest!
thanks for the brilliant reaction! Live, love Aurora!
You have no idea what you've done! You will never be the same again! Check out Runaway from this same venue. Aurora does this with every performance. She becomes whatever it is that she sings.
You may want to watch her MV for "Runaway", it's where the rabbit hole begins. She just released two mv's recently - Your Blood and The Conflict of the Mind. Both seem to be new directions, style wise for her. She is a joy to experience wether it's a live performance, interview or Tik Tok stream. You won't be sorry.🤘
You have probably heard her song ‘Runaway’.. with 616 million views, it would have been hard to avoid. 😂
But if you haven’t, and you react to it. Be aware she was 11 when she wrote Runaway. 11. 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you ! The more you hear of Aurora the more you get amazed - dont forget to listen to her lyrics, its a message to us all - about love each other and ouer self. She has a extended empatic abillity. She makes everthing herself - also her music videos are also amazing - and ofcourse her live performances. Best from Bergen, Norway
Welcome to a better world! The world with Aurora in it ❤.
Great reaction!
I am 53 years old, I am fan of Elvis, Queen, Chris de Burgh, Springsteen and many other.... but this woman.... she is simply in one way "the girl next door", and at the same time a very different kind of human. I have in my life never had problems talking to anybody, but when I met her I did not manage to say a singel word..... not because she is scary, but because I was afraid my emotions would flood out of control. And I am not like that.... I don't know why she effects me like that... I just admire her art so much it makes me a big wimp 😂.
Please check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen consert.
There is something about Aurora, and how she expresses herself. When I look at her and her movements, I see someone that's 'living' her song. She's there, in her song. It's inwards, it's not like she's "telling" other people a story - you know when artists look into the public and try to connect with them -, instead she's showing us the story. It's fascinating but works so well.
Great reaction!
Usually a "down the road" Aurora reaction, but I'll throw it in early.
(CC on for translation, she sings in Norwegian)

Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (live)
Thank you so much for your great reaction to this masterpiece 🙏🥰Please react to the most beautiful song and performance ever, Aurora "Through the eyes of a child" live at Nidarosdomen, a beautiful cathedral in Norway 🤩🤩
I love seeing new ppl react to Aurora. I haven't seen anyone not like her so far.
She is my absolute favorite artist in the world.
"Through the eyes of a child" from the Nedarosdomen concert is a must
i recommend each and every piece she made. best would be chronological.
She is the best artist and human in this world❤
By far 😊
Enjoyed ur reaction! Big AURORA fan here. No one else like her, esp. live. I notice you have never reacted to someone else that AURORA influenced who is also a once in a gen. talent, Billie EIlish. Billie mentions that when she saw AURORA's video for her hit 'Runaway' Billie knew she wanted to perform and sing publicly. There is so much to both of these talents, (Billie is really a duo with her brother). Thanks again.
I loved your reaction! Aurora has a lot of beautiful songs. Maybe you can start with; Runaway: ua-cam.com/video/Fc7XWW_Ehb8/v-deo.html

Exactly my list to Great Pernille❤❤❤
She’s 27 now.. but was 19/20 here. She does look very young though.
Will, you are in for one wild ride. Aurora will take you on a journey your heart and soul will never get over. It doesn't matter which of her songs you listen to. There are no bad Aurora songs. Some will break your heart, some will sooth your soul, and some will do both at the same time. She is magic.
Aurora is amazing, literally a Siren. You will get lots of suggestions from her “Warriors and Weirdos” (fans) for suggestions. Have fun.
There’s dozen of things to see/hear of her next, and if in doubt her live performances are typically superior, but let your regular viewers recommend specific live performances for specific songs … I’ll put in this one for your queue, actually two I recommend back to back, without out pause, the official album versions of, A Different Kind of Human, followed immediately by, Mothership, both off the album titled, A Different Kind of Human … enjoy all that’s coming at you, you’re in for a series of treats.
Next should be Lucky from Nidarosdomen LIVE performance and all the others she sing there
Aurora and Ren. My favorite contemporary musical artists. They both create their own amazing songs, and do covers that are often better than the original and really mean it when they perform. Aurora is also a very quirky and hilarious person who is the personification of love. The best humanity has to offer. If this is your first exposure, you are in for a real treat as there is so much more.
Yay, thanks Will! Here for it. I must have forgotten you were away, sorry for bugging you!! ❤
Miss H, thanks for the great suggestion😀. Our world needs Aurora to be more known, and more enjoyed.🙂👍
@@Josian-ps7fb No worries. Everyone needs a bit of Aurora in their lives. I’ve seen her live twice when she came to Australia and she is simply wonderful. Her music, her personality, all of it. ❤️
Oh no worries at all! I appreciate the recommendation and I really enjoyed this one!!!
@@willreacts_official I’m glad you enjoyed it! Sent you another donation. Hahah. ❤️
Pronunciation of my name was perfect this time! ❤❤
Thanks for introducing him Rana 😄
@@bjornarsimonsen7592 My pleasure! ☺️
For me when Aurora sang that high note or how she expanding her voice and it was more open up, the next part when she sings "Oh he did it all to spear me from the awful things in life that comes" looks as if she's screaming but her voice stands out because its so perfect and angelic.
Aurora and Ren are sort of two sides to the same coin. I can't imagine what a collaboration between them would be like, but I bet it would be sublime.
Her song potion for love but the vevo live studio version! Brings me to tears everytime. Aurora has changed my life!
thanks for react to Aurora
You HAVE to see "Through the Eyes of a Child" live at Nidarosdomen Cathedral
I like watching her snap back into reality at the end. She's in it!
AURORA shines in live more. Genius. I recommend you to check her live performance of whole nobel peace prize, Nidarosdomen, Honda stage, KPEX etc., so many wonderful videos are waiting for you.
“All is Soft Inside” from KEXP in Iceland.
"all is soft inside" live at KEXP !!!
Yeiiii welcome ro Aurora-world
Her live concert at the Nidarosdomen gives a good sample of her best, too. This concert at the Nobel Peace prize has a good selection, too.
She is a soul healer, writing song at first to help herself to deal with emotion. Everything that she bring out have a purpus, a message and as it's comiing out of her soul to heal herself, it's heal us as well. Always meaningfull, every song is tricky, funny or gut wranching but also southing and conforting. Many will tell you that her live perfo are better but I will say that the MV always have meaning as well, try The Seed.
Welcome home. Great reaction.
Oh yeah,,,,,another rabbit hole to go down, you are in for a wild ride. My choice for next time would be 'It happened quiet' at the Current or any performance from the concert at Nidarosdomen, Her live songs are incredible.
Through the Eyes of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) is a must.
Aurora is famous for saying, It’s okay to cry.
Love Aurora ❤
anything live from her will work. she is at her best live
Hello my friend Will!!....No one better than you, to make a reaction video and analyze this incredible singer, with an stunning range voice, who is leaving all the experts, literally with their jaws on the floor (Do you remember Jim Carrey's movie "The Mask"? well, just like that)...In 2017, a 22-year-old singer from Kazakhstan, named Dimash Kudaibergen, was invited to participate in the famous Chinese program for professional singers called "The Singer"....In his first appearance, Dimash covered one of the most difficult songs in the world, a famous French composition called "S.O.S. D'un Terrien En Détresse"...Since then all this madness began on the internet, UA-cam and social networks worldwide and he is already considered the best singer on the entire planet... It is almost impossible to see a human being, being able to reach vocal ranges of 8 octaves, that is, the 88 keys of a digital piano, which allows him to reach all registers, both masculine and feminine, that is, he can sing as Bass, Baritone, Tenor, Contratenor, Contralto, Mezzosoprano and Soprano...You can see in UA-cam to all kinds of experts (Vocal coaches, analysts, singing teachers, singers, youtubers, reactors, etc.), who have dedicated themselves to watching his videos and verifying for themselves that what is said about him is completely true...In addition to all this, Dimash is capable of singing in more than 12 languages...In all his concerts worldwide, tickets are sold in just seconds, via the internet, due to the immense popularity he has worldwide... Anyway, I think you haven't met this impressive singer yet, so here is the link to the first song that Dimash performed in China in that year 2017, the song S.O.S., and if it doesn't bother you, I would like you to mention me as the person who recommended it to you...Warning: You have to be prepared for thousands of views, comments and new subscribers...The video It is more recent, so it does not have the millions of views that the first ones, but it is more complete, including an intro, subtitles in several languages and better audio and sound quality...ua-cam.com/video/bDX3FhmyNac/v-deo.html
Aurora has a tendency to sneak into your life and hang on so you can let go. Recommend wathcing the KXVP concert next!
👍😮🤟
Aurora❤ ! Love your reaction! Came here from your other Aurora reaction. Nice one too😊
Please Check aurora "it happened quiet" live at nidarosdomen
Check out Aurora - Churchyard (Live on KEXP) (ua-cam.com/video/nJLuG8c11Gk/v-deo.html) - You won't be disappointed!
Just make sure that every performance you see of Aurora is live!
After checking out 6-7 live performances, then see some music videos.
I will personally recommend “Through the eyes of a Child, live at Nidarosdomen”, and the live version to the cover of “Live On Mars” recorded by “Trygdekontoret” on NRK.
Sorry for some tongue-twisting words here and there, but she is Norwegian 🇳🇴🥵😁
You seemed very proffesional in your way of making a reaction, so surprised of the subs, maybe a newbie ??
consider the is there life on mars - bowie cover by her in that cathedral. there is magic to be shared :D
Wonderful reaction. I recommend "The Seed", the video.
My understanding of the meaning of this song lyrics is that it is about someone that is facing their fate & wanting to end the pain & die mercifully. I know it's a little deeper than that but thats the basics of the meaning behind the lyrics. Aurora is a true treasure. If you do more reactions of Aurora then stick to live performances because that is where she shines the brightest.
Never heard of Aurora? Well this will be a trip I might have to sub for.
I used to not like her. Thought she was weird.
Now she's one of my favorite people to exist. She's a great artist, but it's more about who she is as a person.
Exist for love! You need to react to that one! And some of her newer songs too like Conflict of the mind.
She's pure Magic.
Check out her cover of Teardrop
(Massiv Attac)
Great rection ❤
Hi Will Welcome Too Aurora And there Are Many Songs Runaway, The Seed And

Welcome to better world stay safe and a sub from me.
Great reaction and welcome in Aurora‘s world.
Can you please react to „Dimash Kudaibergen - SOS d'un terrien en détresse“?
It will blow your mind and I will be sure, that he is the best singer of the world.
hi Will, thanks for your reaction.
Please check out Diana Ankudinova can't help falling in love
🧚♀️ O-
Next aurora runaway
Just a tip. Its better from an esthetic point, to put the video on top of your image that the other way around. Now your image is blocking out much of the video and from a audience point of view that's not so good. As I said, just a tip.
You really must check out Dimash
She’s not from this world.
I can definitely recomend live song “Dance on the moon” - on Existe for Love session✨🤍
