@@domcactus by the way, " there is no love in the end" ... i always understand there is no end, because Love is eternal. makes sense to me ... greetings from berlin ( half the world away ) C.
I'm just having so much fun watching you guys, I am sick and can't go out but you are making me laugh so hard, I'm enjoying my day when I thought I was going to be all sad and bored, I have watched some other reactions of this same album because I love Aurora and how she moves the people with her songs, but this is the best one so far, thank you, I appreciate it
“Sirens singing” in “Exhale/Inhale” is a reference to the half-bird/half-woman creatures from Greek mythology who would lure sailors to their deaths by singing their beautiful song from their island. I love in the song how the sirens sing an emergency call to help save the planet.
Winter Bird IS her best 🥰 47:30 the song is inspired by Dionysos, the stranger God. He's both male and female, alive and dead, blood and wine. He's famous for liberating women and partying like no other with fauns and maenads. Each song of this album is connected to a Greek god :)
Enjoyed your reaction! Really great album -- right now I'm especially playing Everything Matters, Heathens, The Innocent, A Dangerous Thing, Exhale - Inhale, Blood in the Wine, Artemus, and A Little Place Called the Moon! They need to tap AURORA for the new 'Ring of Power' series (either for a song or as a character)!
I loved watching you two react! You guys obviously have such a fun relationship! 😌 Also, ‘You Keep Me Crawling’ had the EXACT same effect on me. I have been listening to it NONSTOP since it came out. 🤣
giving in to the love , Exhale inhale , blood in the wine, a temporary high and A dangerous thing are mu topt 5 on this album even if it is almost impossible to put together a top when it comes to Aurora
After over 1 year of listening to this album, my top 5 are Everything Matters, Giving in to the Love, Exist for Love, A Dangerous Thing, and This Could Be a Dream!
@@domcactus I am reading comments before I watch the reaction, I know, I am late to the show, lol. You don't have to go to Norway to see Aurora, she tours the world, I saw her May 2022 in California, and, of course, she was awesome live in person.
Siblings,you are great...happy and sibling's love is so palpable.I love your reaction to Aurora.She is the best and am a senior who loves everything that comes out from her...
I just found yall's channel and it's funny how you two have so different reactions but also in synch somehow?? Anyway i relate to the brother too the way he reacts to every song lool
Yes! Would love to see your sister react to AURORA’s other projects/albums! Looking forward to it and great reaction btw, love how enthusiastic you are abt AURORA’s music 😊
Great reaction 👍 I love this album so much🥰 Aurora likes it when people make up their own mind of what the meaning of the songs are , but she has said something about it. Like that every song is referring to a god/goddess. There are mostly greek gods/goddesses, but “Heathens” is about Eve👍 “Exist for love” is her first love song, written in 2020.❤️ She doesn’t really like to have other artists featuring, but she made this album in an old french castle in Norway. For some hundred years ago there lived a french man there, and he loved art and music. And Aurora thought it would be a nice way to honour this french castle by having Pomme write and sing the last bit in french 🥰 This is what Aurora says about the meaning of the song: "It's a very strange story, a story I would like for people out there to figure out themselves. I contacted a French artist, Pomme, to write the ending for me. And it is beautiful. Sensual. And real. I do often feel like this world is trying to make me focus on all these great miracles. And somehow I feel like it makes me miss out on the small ones. And that is sad. Because the small miracles happen all the time. Sometimes several times a day. And I want to see all of them. Because everything matters." Here’s a video clip where Aurora tells about most of the songs from the album: ua-cam.com/video/Ej0eA-Fp-p8/v-deo.html O, if you haven’t seen the documentary “Once Aurora” I really recommend it. You get to know Aurora in an intimate way, and in some parts it was quite heartbreaking ❤️ Love from Norway 🇳🇴
I love her other projects so much! I hold them very near to my heart. With that being said, I guess I could make my sister react to them, though she's already heard quite a lot of the older songs. I still really want to do that, so expect more aurora videos in the future !!
You might want to listen to a young Russian singer - Diana Ankudinova who is 18 years old in this video, singing a very unique cover of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling In Love. She's a contralto, and a commanding stage presence. ua-cam.com/video/M-znD6QKbrg/v-deo.html Diana (dee-ah-na) was abandoned by her abusive mother at the age 3 and placed in an orphanage, diagnosed with cognitive impairment. Her adoptive mother had her enroll in singing lessons to help with some speech problems due to abuse and neglect. Her singing talent was immediately noticed and the rest, as they say, is history. It's a safe prediction that you'll have goosebumps and say that's the most unique voice you've ever heard.
Aurora talked in this interview about "Exhale Inhale" (as opposed to Inhale, Exhale) comes from grief counselling (Aurora lost several people close to her over the years). So I think it is a statement about grief for the current state of the climate: youtu . be / dK-FJeA3kiw&t=595s Carmen Holt: "You usually hear it in reverse: Inhale, Exhale, like if you are in yoga class: Inhale and exhale. But I have recently had an experience with grief, and it was actually exhaling, that came first." Aurora: "Yeah, it is the exhaling that comes first. I have experienced the same."
The album is intentionally very different from her previous sounds and very experimental and playful. Maybe by the next album she goes back to her previous sounds, it will be interesting to find out: youtu . be / YytOgPVXqK0&t=3m24s "Sonically what can you tell us about kind of ehh, is this (Cure For Me) kind of representative of what you're exploring on the next record. Is it a sign of what's to come?" "Ehh No! It's very NOT how the album sounds, which is very exciting. But it has something in common with the album, that I am experimenting with new things and new sides, which I am enjoying. Because it is easy for me to make a really "Aurora" album you know, like that feels like nature and Mother Earth. It is very easy for me to do that because it comes so naturally for me, so I have been *really* enjoying just doing something new this time, doing something different. Because this is my third...and a half....album, and it's about time, you know, in my mind I needed to just play around and do something different, and for me music has always been extremely serious and no fun. It's been very like very serious, and I always write very serious things, and I can see myself like standing on stage every night for an hour and being like really sad all the time, because all my songs are so filled with so much sadness, you know. I just wanted to make an album for myself that had a bit more playfulness and cheekiness and wildness. It's very exciting, I'm very excited to share the album with you, and it will come out this year."
Thanks for sharing some insight into the songs! I'll definitely need to check out more videos about her talking on the album's meaning. And I do appreciate the experimental-ness of this album. Although I truly adored her previous works that were more cohesive, this one seems to be best seen as a collection of stories and tales that she wants to share with us, which is quite an interesting concept. Thanks for the comments!
@@domcactus Since you 2 loved "Everything Matters" Aurora and Pomme performed it live. It came out over a month ago, but just in case you have not seen it: youtu . be / yX8bYwl9rKc
Great reaction to this masterpiece from AURORA. Than’ you both warriors. The vinyl album does sound different,warmer, and has 2 different tracks The Devil is Human and The Woman I Am. Look out for when Aurora releases these for download.
Cool reaction :). Whole album is just great and very different then previous. Even each song is like a different journey. I think the best of hers, just masterpiece. But previous albums was great too - more intimate, emotional and personal. Love her whole discography too be honest:).
Love the dancing and the reaction. Thank you. Just an idea…react to The Airborne Toxic Event. Sometime Around Midnight or The Graveyard Near The House Thanks again for the Aurora reaction. She’s the best!
also, is it just me, or is “the innocent” a successor to “in boxes” and “in bottles”? It doesn’t sound the same at all but i feel like it continues the story of this evil yandere witch character. the witch gets at lovers by killing them and stealing their body parts (hands, spine…) and now she’s saying “you would never let me into your heart” which is obv about love but also a play on words maybe? like you would never let me PHYSICALLY get in there. Also she does drown this love interest character “for the sake of the torture” and then feels that she’s “closer” which sounds vague but what if she’s saying physically closer, like now she can eat the love interest’s heart? Much to think about.
Spoiler: long comment haha. One of the things I like the most about Aurora's songs is that in every one she tells us a story. You can read it literally or give it your own, sometimes deep, interpretation. You can even link two or more songs and make a bigger story out of them! I think this album is full of hidden layers to analyze and I totally loved it now, even if the first time I listen it to I wasn't sure how to feel about the way-too-much information I was receiving from the different sounds and styles. But it happened the same with Infections of /a different kind/ of human. Specially part two was too different from All my demons. But at the end I totally fell for it (Soulless creatures's still on the top five), just like with this album
Very true. Whenever my sister and I try to attribute a meaning to her songs, we always end up having completely different interpretations of it, which is fascinating. Also, I've got to agree with you that Soulless Creatures is definitely in her all time best tracks. I'm a sucker for that song's dramatic instrumental and choruses! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely keep her on my radar in the future. I'm glad you enjoyed the video
'dangerous game' reminds me of Lust instead of Love. which is why 'there is no love in the air' but she 'keeps on falling'. its about lust and giving into it. but i am never suprised when aurora packs several ways of interpreting lyrics into her songs :)
Very true! It's definitely one of the highlights for me, and a stunning way to start the album. I do speak French, so Pomme's part feels even better when the lyrics make sense, I can tell you that much! Beautiful song
@@domcactusHere is a 32 sec duet with Pomme and Aurora from TikTok: youtu . be / mdIDIf8uGiU Pomme wrote the last french part, here is a translation (not mine): Somewhere before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world, a bird falls asleep Quietly, you and me In the night, we will find Somewhere to drop off The flowers that we picked Leave before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world, a bird falls asleep Quietly, you and me In the night, we will find Somewhere to drop off The flowers that we picked Leave before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world, a bird falls asleep Quietly, you and me In the night, we will find Somewhere to drop off
I knew this was going to be a great reaction when the girl said In bottles was Aurora's best !!! It's one of my favs tooo 🥰🥰
She said it was winter bird
and now her favorite is "You Keep Me Crawling" !!
YESSSSSSSS in bottles is SUCH A SONG
pls more. so much fun and wisdom included
yes I really enjoyed making this earlier this year :)

Greetings! Also, nice callback to another song of hers. Half the world away is in my top 5 fav Aurora songs :)
Hi i just saw her in concert in Montréal.. IT was the best show ive ever saw in my life.. honestly IT was magnificent, grandiose. Shes the best.
LUCKY! I didn’t even know she was on concert :0
FINALLY SOME YOU KEEP ME CRAWLING APPRECIATION I love this song soooo muchhhh
I think it's still my sister's favorite song. Either that, Artemis, or A Little Place Called The Moon
@@domcactus She’s got such great taste and you too! It was a great reaction video haha you guys are so cute!

The fact the video started with winter bird is perfect
