Congrats, you just discovered one of the purest human beings on this planet... and her voice is beautiful!
This young lady sings with her entire body.
Written when she was around 11. Checkout her Nidarosdomen concert and her performing "Soft Inside"to an audience of two from the Haik concert / documentary. "Wow" is a good description!
Spot on! Aurora, always different, always best live.
AURORA's voice hits home! I agree with majestic and anglic also. Love your reaction and yes, good background music for reading!
Not only an incredible artist, but, likely the sweetest human on the planet.
Most people consider Aurora an angelic princess with a siren like voice. She gets deep into her music and will occasionally shed tears during concerts. Her music is mostly dark, sad and emotional. She in fact is heavy into fantasy books and fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings. At 72 years of age I have seen many performers including Jimi Hendrix, Elvis. Joe Cocker, The Who and many others but I was never obsessed as I am with her. I even watch her interviews which are very entertaining. She has a sense of humor. She is very charismatic. Just be careful because she has that effect on people when they start watching her videos. She writes all of her music and produces them as well.
I’ve never heard of her. Beautiful voice! And she seems to be “lost” in her song and I mean that she looks totally engulfed by it. Thank you for introducing her to me and I’m sure many others
The Pleasure is all on this side of the screen. This was simply wonderful to hear.
Aurora is an amazing person and she pours herself into every song. Its like the music possesses her and takes over. She is very querky, wholly authentic to who she is and is capable of saying almost anything at any time. The more intimate the environment the better she is live especially.
I'm 50 years old and went to see her in Seattle in May this year and was blown away, just so amazing!
Saw her in DC a few weeks ago. Aurora is a bit of an empath, quirky, funny and an overall sweet person. She gets lost in her songs and doesn't come back until their over. You can sometimes see her physically shake herself back.. You can see she's very animated, goes crazy singing "Running with the Wolves". She makes me think of the "FLower Children" of my day, nature lover and shuns glitz and glamor.
Her live concert at the Nidaros Cathedral with orchestral ensemble, pipe organ and choir is not to be missed! It was initially broadcast on NRK (the Norwegian equivalent of BBC or PBS. And she continues to evolve and grow as a singer/songwriter, performer and producer! A new album out: THE GODS WE CAN TOUCH! Aurora herself is a big LOTR fan, and has said she would love to perform one or more songs for the upcoming Rings of Power series. She was the Voice of the North Wind in FROZEN 2.
I like it. Never heard of Aurora. SEE? Reactors open your eyes to new artists every day. They should be happy instead of giving y'all a hard time.
Right!?!?!? Thank you, Lana!! *hugz*
First time I heard Aurora's voice was at the start of "Into The Unknown" from the movie Frozen 2. That's her background vocals. I've been hooked ever since. Story telling. Her eyes draw you into the story.
You need to listen to her song…murder song (54321)
You are right to thank William. He has led you down the Aurora rabbit hole. It is a truely magical place. I hope your journey here is long and beautifully strange.
Hi Salty, thank you for this fine reaction to AURORA. Congratulations. You have found one of the Norwegian Treasures.
AURORA (Aurora Aksnes) was born on June 15, 1996 in Stavanger, Norway. She is a singer, songwriter and producer with a style all her own.
AURORA's songs always have a strong message. Often the messages are not very clear either. They can be interpreted so that many people can relate them to themselves. Her movements when singing are extraordinary. This isn't a dance. This is her special way of expression. You can also say that she sings with her whole body. Her excellent music, her brilliant voice and her movements. AURORA's live performances are a total work of art. She is often so into the song that she shakes her body or head uncontrollably (--> Murder song, It happened quiet) and need 2-3 seconds to come back.
She is capable of transporting feelings because she allows a look into her soul. Her fans call themselves warriors and weirdos.
AURORA once said: People tend to believe quite quickly that something is wrong with them if they're not like the people they see in front of them
It's so sad that it doesn't take much for us to really doubt ourselves
- Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) - ua-cam.com/video/ncG9zTzsisE/v-deo.html - she sang in norway's biggest cathedral - phenomenal acoustics - angelic voice
- Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) - The 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert - ua-cam.com/video/vh0SWTVwXxw/v-deo.html - the saddest love song I've ever heard
- It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current) - ua-cam.com/video/9U-N6LqzdIM/v-deo.html - it's about the rape of a woman - some say - these great harmonies
- Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen) - ua-cam.com/video/AmTiqR2_VAw/v-deo.html - the song is her way of suicide prevention
- The Seed (Official Video - VEVO) - ua-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/v-deo.html - it's about the climat change, AURORAS “Earth Song”
- Exist For Love (Official Video - VEVO) - ua-cam.com/video/7YDkrJaiCrw/v-deo.html - best love song ever!!!
- Cure For Me (Official Video - VEVO) - ua-cam.com/video/K17df81RL9Y/v-deo.html - this cheerfulness of the music - even though she is hurt.
- Queendom (Official Video) - ua-cam.com/video/wULeXeQkqd0/v-deo.html - about her queendom??
- Warrior (Live on the Honda Stage) - ua-cam.com/video/I3dvC4tDI3s/v-deo.html - it is for her warrios
- Heathens (Live Performance) - ua-cam.com/video/utKR7tAm0hg/v-deo.html - another incredibly profound lyrics
I usually prefer her live performances. But in these cases the VEVO video is more impressive. I hope you enjoy AURORA.
Two important bits of information I found from another commenter:
1. -- In a recent interview she said "well, the last song I wrote is meant for my 7th album.” -
AURORA's latest album, the fourth, was released on January 21, 2022. She's already in the planning for the 7th.
2. -- AURORA was a teen when she answered the question "are some of your songs related (on different albums)?" - it will all make sense when I have finished. -
AURORA has a plan and we don't know the destination yet. But it is important to know that everything belongs together.
Have a nice day and
Greetings from Germany
She is writing an album that will be released only after her death.
you can't go wrong with this young lady, live is best, but her music videos really get you thinking to. first artist sense the 70's to have me sitting down and listening to full albums
Thanks! Tina and I were pretty sure you would enjoy her. Her live stuff is the best. I don't think she could sing the same song in the same way twice there's so much emotion in it.
You can definitely tell by her body language .. That was pretty special.
She could sing the PhoneBook and it would sound great 😃
"Does she sing all the stuff for like Hobitts and stuff like that? She's very pretty!" Laughing my ass off. KING!
This girl is a musical treasure to be discovered. Hope to see more reactions in the future.
Aurora Aksnes, 26 from Norway. A true artist in every way. She wrote this at age 11 I believe. Her latest album "The Gods We Can Touch" was released earlier this year and is well worth listening to. She has been touring since age 16 or 17. She toured the UK and USA this year and is currently in Europe. She has a large catalog of music, interviews, concerts and documentaries on UA-cam. Hope you react to more of this young woman.
Yeah there are tons of amazing Aurora content, at 26 she already has 3 albums 2 EPs 20+ amazing cover songs and 20+ unreleased songs and so many live performances.
Thank you mister for the kind words, yes she is good. In fact the best in my opinion. She is the versitale Queen and she do not hasitate to say what she want. Love everything she does. Welcome to a world with so much love and understanding. There are so much music from her and all dongs snd almost every performance is above great. My suggest is i went to far honda stage. Good starter. There you see her other quirky personality. I would sub you in the next Aurora reaction. Cool background by the way.
Thank you. Lucky you for discovering her.
Now you've heard the best, time to jump down the rabbit hole. Check out the concert from Nidarosdomen or the Haik concert if you want to know more about this incredible artist. Loved your reaction, by the way.
Aurora is gem, but we got other gold female singers in Norway. Try Angelina Jordan with her Take on Elvis Preslys Suspicious mind, or Sigrid with Dynamite(acustic version)😍
Just lovely ❤
If you would like to watch her sing in her native language, you should check out her collaboration with the Norwegian music group called Wardruna.
Video title: "Wardruna and Aurora - Helvegen (Live)"
Aurora plays her part perfectly.
Wardruna makes music based on and inspired by Norse myth and legends,
and tackles everything from life, our connection to nature and more esoteric ideas like the Norns (spirit weavers), fylgja (totem animals), different forms of afterlife. (etc)
Ps.
The video has CC in English. and the translation is pretty good.
Hey Salty. You hit another of my favorites
Oh WOW!! Glad to hear that!!!
@@SaltyReacts to me aurora is a woodland fairies. I just love her tone. I believe she is on the spectrum asbergers I believe, thus she can be unfiltered in interviews. But she does feel the music. She also performs barefoot lol. She is absolutely precious
@@SaltyReacts might check out billie eilish performing at frank Sinatra tribute concert...she performs Fever
Nice reaction! From one grumpy old man to another, you are in for many treats with Aurora. She is the total package - singer/songwriter/musician/producer/dancer and an absolutely lovely human being. She is best in her live performances, but she also has some amazing music videos that are mini masterpieces. Her lyrics are insightful and reveal a maturity way beyond her years (she was around 19 in this performance and is 26 now).
For your next reaction, I'd suggest: "It Happened Quiet" live at the Current, "Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1" from the same Nobel Prize Concert and "Lucky" from the Nidarosdomen Cathedral Concert (actually, almost anything from that concert - it's amazing). These suggestions are mostly her earlier work - she's experimented and matured (musically and vocally) quite a bit. I'd recommend watching her live performances of "Exhale Inhale" and "Everything Matters". She has quite an extensive catalog for someone her age.
She will often perform her songs differently - sometimes with her band, sometimes with an orchestra, acoustic or acapella - making it worth while to watch different versions.
Oh, and besides her original songs, she is a master at doing covers. Check out her cover of David Bowie's "Life on Mars" - there are at least 3 versions on UA-cam, but my favorite is the one she performed on the Howard Stern Show.
Oh My! Thank you, Mario. I am very intrigued by a Bowie cover. Life on Mars has always been a favorite of mine.
@@SaltyReacts Yeah, i suspected you might be a Bowie fan 😄. Here's a link to the performance on the Stern show ua-cam.com/video/FE7DJwNJibc/v-deo.html
Totally agree for the next ones to try would be either It Happened Quiet or Murder Song from the versions as pointed out. My preferred version of her Life on Mars cover is the one where she plays on the keys while singing.
@@mariopardillo8618 in my opinion, the Norwegian TV version where she accompanies herself on a Fender Rhodes electric piano is the best rendition.
@@jongu71 All her versions are beautiful - it´s a matter of personal taste. 🙂
At least you finished your work first. LOL
This was beautiful. I'm learning about so many different bands and artists along with you Salty. Thank you and thank you to William
Definitely talented 🙂
Nice reaction 🤗
She was very nervous before this concert, and she performed perfectly 💕
She wrote this song when she was 11 years old, and at that age she didn’t quite understand the meaning of the song. But as she grew older she knew that home meant home to her parents and especially her mom.
It’s one of her most important songs, and one of few songs that are about herself.
You never know what kind of music to expect from Aurora👍
With released, unreleased, a few covers and a few featuring she has about 100 songs 😊
Aurora is a Norwegian singer/songwriter/dancer and music producer.
She plays several instruments like piano, guitar, mandolin and harp (what I know of).
She’s born on the 15 of June 1996, she’s from a small place in Os outside of Bergen🇳🇴
When she was 6 years old she found an electric piano in the attic after her older sister.
Because the power button was broken she had to play with only one hand, and she did that for years.
She began writing music without lyrics at the age of 6, and with English lyrics at the age of 9.
Her family didn’t know about her talent until she was about 13 - 14 years old.
She’s self taught when it comes to singing and playing piano💕
Could you please react to Aurora with:
“Through the eyes of a child” live from Nidarosdomen (cathedral in Norway) 2017
This is also one of her most important songs
“All is soft inside” live at KEXP Iceland 2018
“The Seed” official video
This is a powerful song and music video, a cry for Mother Earth
New to your channel. I always like seeing someone experience Aurora for the first time. Great reaction. I think you would like her performance of All is Soft Inside from KEXP in Iceland. I always love the end of that song where you see how powerful her voice can be and then she ends it with a “thank you” in this soft, quite, almost fragile little voice. Here is the link
ua-cam.com/video/IS2iVcGz_Ok/v-deo.html
I'll check it out!
@@SaltyReacts Yeah, her live performance at KEXP in Iceland is incredible! All is Soft Inside is Aurora at warp factor 8! The other songs in that concert are also great -- esp CHURCHYARD!
That's was gorgeous. If you want Lord of the Rings, and I'm sure you've already been hounded, but Nightwish - Ghost Love Score live at Wacken 2013. SPECIFICALLY 😅
No, Annie Lennox, sings the end trilogy of the Lord of the Rings :P
A very fine, honest and respectful reaction. Aurora has one of the sweetest, clearest voices you will come across and with her brilliant song writing and captivating performances style, she is the full package and the real deal. As the old saying goes though "you ain't seen nothin' yet", so take a look at these, 1/ "Through The Eyes Of A Child" from Aurora's masterpiece Nidarosdomen (Trondheim Cathedral) concert of 2017 (ua-cam.com/video/ncG9zTzsisE/v-deo.html), 2/ A smiling, dancing Aurora with "Daydreamer" from her magical HAIK concert from 2019 (filmed in the forest where Aurora played in her childhood) (ua-cam.com/video/XH-Pd8hYSoA/v-deo.html). Also, another Nordic gem for you, Eivor Palsdottir from the Faroe Islands with "Trodlabundin" (possibly the most scenic music clip ever filmed) (ua-cam.com/video/wsl-KHGe4Kk/v-deo.html). I hope you can find the time to watch and enjoy them.
Thank you so much, John!! I will be adding those to my list.
😊👍

You are so funny Salty I had to Subscribe. Will you react to The Cranberries song Zombie? Or Chris Stapleton song Tennessee Whiskey?☺
Why can't I see this video here from Norway?
Hi Irene ... The recording label has copyright claim and a complete block for Norway. Not sure why. Norway is THE ONLY blocked territory.
@@SaltyReacts Thank you for answering me🙂 That's weird, because I have watched it so many times with other reactors. Anyway, I give it a like because I know it is a masterpiece 🤩Hope your next Aurora reaction don't get blocked 😉😉
@@anirenka Thank YOU!! I appreciate it. I am still very new to the youtube reaction stuff and I get hit with probably every claim or block there is. LOL ... The bigger, more established channels seem to get a bit of wiggle room.
I cringed a bit when I saw Nobel Peace Prize but you're right, it's pretty. Like a piece of art you don't quite understand but appreciate the beauty!
I like that .. Interesting perspective!!
Aurora is amazing, I love her live stuff, as good as she is she is the second best singer from Norway. You should listen to Angelina Jordan, totally different kind of singer, she covers everyone from Billie Holliday to Elvis, Adele & Queen. She has about 175 covers plus some originals. I would start with "I Put A Spell On You" she did at age 9, or Bohemian Rapsidy she did on AGT. at age 13. She's currently 16 & signed with Republic Records. You won't be disappointed.
I cant do with manufactured Karaoke cover artists like Angelina , yes she's good at what she does for her age but she's not for me. I prefer someone like Aurora who came onto the scene {reluctantly) with a different sound , look and like a breath of fresh air and also with a new unique sound unlike AJ, but hey Im sure she will go on to do great things as her career grows . I dont find her endearing and welcoming like Aurora . ------ No 1 ? Nah Just my opinion, dont go ballistic on me . Luv ya bye
@@thehonestcritic6577 I don't know if you've listened to very much Angelina but she's not manufactured Karaoke, she doesn't cover songs, she uncovers them, makes them totally new and usually better than the originals. Both artist are great & totally different
@@thehonestcritic6577 Couldn't agree more with you. Aurora is the complete package, musically, instrumentally, lyrically, and produces her music. Angelina has a great voice, but I have never been moved by it. They are not even on the same level. IMO that is.
I love you now worries...my face is also white
Did I miss something? What happened to the music at the intro? Last few videos it has been MIA...BTW, bet you didn't know that my high school knickname was "Dinger"! Think about THAT the next time you tell us to "hit the danger button"!! lol Always enjoy your reactions!
LOL!!! My wife told me my intro music sounded like it was from a horror movie ... I like it, she doesn't. So, I am glad you noticed. So -- what do YOU think I should do?? hahahaha
@@SaltyReacts I like the music, but domestic tranquility is more important! Haha
Careful, she will infect your soul.
