the fact that she probably has sung this song a million times before and still stings every word with such emotional connection and meaning is so amazing.
Yes 🥺
Yes
@Srednestatisticheskii Indeed
that is the hardest thing about making music... i've written just a few songs but they have to be so good for me to even want to sing them after days of working on them... you really have to take a break away from it. i assume when she is not touring, she probably rare if ever practises this song :P it's just innate
😭
"death makes everything meaningful, and meaningless at the same time" -AURORA 2:34
yes everything she said is magical, i almost cried watching this because the meaning is very relatable
❗
that quote is insanely wise
@@pranavalaparthi2021 yes definitely
Ecclesiastes 12:13 ?
“Death, It makes everything kind of meaningless but also it makes everything meaningful” Aurora is so profound.
What does this mean?
@@theprinceoflight15 Death is meaningless because everything is temporary, but death is also meaningful because it is that same "temporary" that we do what we can with our mortal lifetime.
Yes black is also white lmao
blah blah

i love how her whole fan base just agrees that she is a fairy sent to look after us with her beautiful music
That’s because she is in fact a fairy sent to protect us with her music

I thought the same 🥺
The power of TikTok
Did it??😵😵😵
Me neither
“All your mistakes should be meaningless, cause we are gonna die anyway, and all your accomplishments and everyone you love, that should be meaningful because it might disappear one day.”
She's so beautiful, I can't
It's seems like Heidegger.
I wonder if Aurora read it.
well if we use your example everything is meaningless and the good side your talking abt makes no sense
When I say that hit me hard.... *speechless

The way she didn't just explain the song but explained many things like life, death, and nature
Honestly, that just made my heart peaceful hahaaha
she sounds like someone has been enlightened
She is really awake 🌿
The fact that she wrote this song when she was 11 is still astonishing
WHAT?? HOW OLD IS SHE NOW?
@@jerucells She is 24 year old
Edit: Sorry, I forgot that it was in english and I wrote it on spanish
Such a genius!
HOW
11?!?! GIRL WHAT
I have never seen someone who understands life so deeply, someone who has an angelic voice even when she isn't singing...
“death makes everything meaningless but also meaningful” i lost my breath hearing this. so sad yet so beautiful. so cruel yet so kind. aurora has really achieved her goal to be remembered. just made death a whole different meaning for me.
Can you elaborate what you meant by that?
"I've been very obsessed with death... whee!"💀😭
😭😭😭
That’s my fav part😭😭
I was dying when she said that🤣💀🤧
i swear it’s gonna be a meme 😭
😂
She is rocking so many hairstyles at one
She has bangs
Short hair
Straight hair
Long hair
Curled hair
and a bob
Used to have braids. So let's add that too.
Wavy
😅yeah a lot
she looks like she'll start a trend for the next 5 yrs
i’m personally not a fan of music like this, but damn. that’s beautiful.
I love the fact even though you don't like it you can recognise that it's a beautiful song and be respectful about it. We need more people like you :)
yeah I'm the same way. Usually this isn't my kind of music, and the first time I heard it I wasn't sure whether or not I liked it, but it grew on me and now it's in my playlists. The chorus is so powerful and speaks to me on a lyrical and emotional level; I'm in college right now and so naturally I have homesickness from time to time and this song comforts me.
@DON'T oh shut up
@DON'T ok
@DON'T ok I won’t so shut up now
To all the future generations, " Please don't let this masterpiece die".
pls
She looks and talks like she’s from another dimension, lol. Idk how to describe it, but she sounds so ethereal, enchanting.
So true
not another dimension, she's just norwegian lol
all jokes aside, i totally get what you mean. she's almost celestial & i love it
Ikr the way she talks is so satisfying and beautiful
she's an ice elves.
can't tell if she's an old soul or a young one, she has childlike curiosity but the wisdom of an old woman
A WITCH!
@@minebr100 I’d lean more towards fae
She’s an old soul bc she know the key to happiness is exploring life with childlike wonder
She has the "Body of a woman, soul of a child, mind of the free, and heart of the wild." ~Ashley Lemaine
@@minebr100 more like a beautiful fairy
I love how the song is telling 100 stories not just one
"The world seems to just listen to whoever shouts the loudest and people who really need help seem to only manage to say it so quiet that maybe only the dogs can hear it.. like those invisible sounds that humans can't even hear." I've never heard someone say something that just felt so spot on, it definitely struck a nerve. She's wise beyond her years.
This is even more poignant now...
AURORA feels like the physical embodiment of Mother Nature
was just thinking that
shhh, that was supposed to be a secret!
she is
Right
yesss, to me she's a fairy 💗💗💗
"Being a human is an extreme sport."

Even If she is not singing, her voice and speech is soo melodical
It’s the accent
@@No_Relation_666it's the talent.
@@nympheiasdiary talent has nothing to do with this conversation because it’s not something she is actively trying to do it’s just the natural effect the Norwegian accent has
@daisydaisy1767 but you also need a good voice and talent to sing and make these songs , talent is part of this conversation.
@@nympheiasdiary no because her music wasn’t mentioned, op said her voice sounds melodical even when she’s not singing, I simply added that it’s her accent causing it. Her music wasn’t part of this. It’s about her normal speaking voice. And honestly I don’t like how you’re arguing here because you’re putting me in a position where it seems like I’m saying she’s not talented, of course she is talented. But how she sounds when speaking normally is not effected by her talent
The way she thought at 11 is so impressive. This is whole song is a masterpiece and unbelievable impressive especially when you know the story behind. Since I first heard the song I cry so bad every time I hear it, after watching this interview I will even cry more. I really feel all of her pain in her voice that’s amazing. All my respect to this wonderful women, please don’t ever let this song die. I cried during the whole Interview. Awesome
Keep in mind she has been rediscovering and reinterpreting the meaning of this song over the years. She tapped as a child into something profound, and her brilliance resides into having held onto it
that’s crazy to think that it took 6 years for Aurora to finally get a genius interview 😭
smfh😒
@@andreashuwae8273 lol
I thought exactly the same
RIGHTT
I knowww right??? Almost 4 years of being a warrior and weirdo 😊
i don't think she belongs in our world.. she's way too angelic and pure, could be a fairy too
she is an angel
she is a fairy and angel.

Honestly everyone needs a friend like her in their lives she’s so genuine and so wise and motivating it’s really rare
Imagine if everyone was like her!
I refuse to believe this magical being is human. Aurora has such a meaningful outlook on life and death, and every sentence that she says is so deep inspiring, not to mention her singing and voice are incredible! we need more people like her in the world.
She’s doesn’t sing a song, SHE FEELS IT SHE FEELS THE LYRICS
Yess finally someone understands me
Ongg I got goosebumps
She's so serene

funfact: Aurora actually wrote Runaway when she was only 11 years old
Wow such a beautiful soul
i thought she was 16
@@lillybilly990 when she sand it she was 19 but wrote it at 12 whilst I am 11 (yes I'm young but does age even matter?) and I'm here doing my hw on the last day
@@katlovegood4921 the age of your brain is the one matters i think
@@katlovegood4921 no one asked
I heard this song in Sky : Children of the Light video game as part of a collaboration season. I heard it at the right time as I had recently lost my mother to covid. Whether I wanted to or not, I cried for her. I found my strength in this song. I know I can go on without her by my side, but I'll carry her everywhere I go.
That is so profound and I hope you find solace
Am sorry for that, but take this my friend... death is not an end of someone, is just an end of the body ❤ i love you and I hope to meet you one day somewhere even if it's in eternity life
Ahh nice to see a fellow sky player and I heard this the first time through that game as well
It’s strange how I can feel her emotions with each word, how love and passion is in each one, truly incredible how each lyric hits the soul. Just breath taking.
I don't mean to be dramatic but the things she is saying are literally so calming and eye-opening
so true
Trueee
Yes! She's so wise
Fr
Trueee
She sounds EXACTLY like the recorded version, no autotune AT ALL
man you'd be surprised how much different the arrangements she does sometimes too, like you'd think something's amiss when she just swapped the intro with the bridge and you won't really think of it that much lol
@@banheesos For me that's part of the beauty in the way she does music. It's never the same.
yes
Sir, we dont do that here.
Autotune is not a badthing tho
She is mad talented sounds exactly the same as the studio version.
I literally just came here to listen to her voice singing this without any music. This is the best version of runaway. She doesn't even need a music. Her lyrics and voice and emotion is everything this is where all the talent is. This is what we need. This is brilliant
She's not our little secret anymore guys.. She's famous now.
😭
I feel like she is a family member of mine that got famous hahaha
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yh .. :(( goddammiit
It took a long time... 😒
Can u believe she wrote this masterpiece when she was only 11? AMAZING
I'm 11 and I mad a song
I am sure it’s good!!!
@@playeatsquizzes you don’t listen to the doubters. You share your song when you ready 🙂

She's from another planet, she's so uniquely different and I like her for that reason.

Aye Yoo. I watch anime too. I am waiting for part 2 of season 4 of attack on Titan.
@@kellen8116 have u read the manga¿

When Aurora talks about death im very sure shes the real Luna Lovegood
I was waiting for someone to say that lmao
trur i relate so much
She reminds me so much of luna omg
FRRR
she seems like Luna shes as dreamy as Luna
She's such a mythical, ethereal, and kind being. But she's real! I wish I knew her irl but I feel like I already know her. She pulls you in...there is something just so enticing about her. I absolutely adore her. She helps me feel calm and give hope for mankind - that there really are kind and genuine people out there in the world. God bless her.
I am reminded of Luna Lovegood when I watch her videos....just so out of this world❤️
She is definitely THE PUREST artist ever

Hi I'm looking for a new partner we both like aurora so you'll probably like my snatch
urora at 11 “wrote a song”
Me at 11 “why is the moon following me?"
😂😂☠☠
innit
plot twist: the moon is the one who is "running far away" because it wants to chase you home
Me at 11: Imma stick something in my ear so I can’t hear.
To this day that lego is still in my ear but it’s very tiny
I'm sure Aurora could write an incredible song about that but she would probably say you could as well.
When she talks about death she makes it sound and feel so comforting and even magical. I have been following here for almost 5 years now and this was and still is my favorite song of her im so happy and grateful she and this song got the recognition they deserved
Her voice is art
The way she speaks, its like she’s singing with soft tunes and magic
For real
What a beautiful description~!
Yeah
Yep !
I think it is called an accent
I don’t care how gangster u are when this banger comes on u gotta sing along.

@@OTB2002 🤣🤣
no lol
I can appreciate her heavenly vocals, but what is absolutely captivating, is how beautifully poetic the lyrics are, the things she says can only be obtain by one who has lived in sorrow, and yearned for a lost loved one, her perspective is soo true for me, to my deepest core. Memories of the ones you lost flood your mind until you fill to the brim and it starts to spill out into the open world through some expression, be it song, painting, or doing old things you used to do together. The thing is, while we try to grasp at what we feel like is fleeting, we fail to realize, it lives inside us, and no matter the distance or passage of time, we could never lose it, because it is in our hearts, it is a part of us now.
i don’t think i’ve ever found such comfort in music aside from her’s. i’m a cellist, i live for music, and her’s has forever been the music that i find myself in. god she’s amazing.
She's the only person able to pull off that hair and make it look good 😂
girl have u been hanging out with Helen Keller recently???¿
my biggest flex is that I listened to Aurora until Runaway went viral on tik tok
Same 🤝
Big Facts
SAME SINCE 2014
Mine is I heard a lot of songs before they got famous on tiktok
SAME HERE BOO
“The world seems to listen to those who shout the loudest and those who need help talk so low that only the dogs can hear it“ this is so true! And it encompasses what’s going on in the world run
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!
she looks like the weird and talented cousin who doesn’t show up for family functions

@@supremejp8492 bruh wtf?
The one thing I love about genius is that you can easily tell who uses a lot of autotune and who doesn't.
not rlly, cuz a lot of people dont sing the lyrics, they just speak them on the genius interview
@@Lana45367 yeah that’s true
@@Lana45367 cause they are the artists who only depends on instruments to cover up their vocal insecurities . As a singer, vocal is a priority and instruments comes afterwards. Beautification of vocal is real : “autotune”.
omg i read autism- like “you can easily tell who uses a lot of autism and who doesn’t”
a lot of artists also use vocal layering, which makes it sound different without autotune. also a studio recording and just a genius recording are really different
her voice.... Oh my gosh🥺. And I'm glad that this song reemerged, because it's so beautiful

This tale she told had my eyes leaking pretty good. She seems so delicate and the world is so hard. Her voice is a thing of beauty.

Ok. Thats something you could said 8 years ago 4 years ago and now and its still truth.
Feels like she has seen the whole world, now she doesn't need to live anymore.
The calmness in her voice when she talks, shows the depth of her thoughts.
“Home is definitely the one place where you can go and mend yourself and fill whatever space used to be empty and fix whatever thing inside you is broken. It doesn't need to be a place or the family you where born into. It can be anywhere and whoever.”
That “whoever” sounds like me..
