Such a crazy amount of talent and poetic intellect. Loved this one! I can't wait to continue my Aurora journey. Thank you for watching my reactions.

![[Industry Ghostwriter] Reacts to: Aurora- It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current)- so artistic](/img/n.gif)
This is love going wrong... an argument, ending in her getting pushed out of the Window, landing on the medow, turning the ground red with blood - "dont speak over my voice" meaning dont tell lies about what happend, or i will return too haunt you - bleed in your bed and turning it red - as the ground outside his Window. Beautiful, haunting and Chills...🥶
Exactly!
This is about a relationship gone bad and at least an emotional confrontation if not a physical one.
To me the story is about one lover killing the other by pushing them out of the window, probably in affect. But the dead lover comes back, first with little remembrance but growing in strength and voice while the killers psyche breaks apart. Love is wild, because it is chaos. The greatest feelings turns into the greatest destruction and even brings the dead back. Love is a force of nature, neither good nor bad, but always conquering. Undeniable no matter who gets hurt in its way. That is that she means by wild. Untamable.
It's not just you. Aurora herself said as much.
A song about domestic violence that leads to death here. He threw her out of the window in anger. Probably in affect. She comes back to him either as a ghost or as his guilty conscience and chases him. Her voice is louder than his own.
For me, this is the best performance, because here the "don't you speak over my voice" is very powerful and decisive. This is not the case in the other versions.
Not true, live at current session is amazing and had a powerful bit with that point, which she purposely makes stronger than the rest of the song! This concert is overpowered by orchestra and theatrics which aurora just doesn't need. She is amazing live with barely any backing except a bit of reverb and back up singers/instrumentalists.
My interpretation to this beautifully poetic written song:
Hollow eyes rain against their will = crying
Feathers from a pillow = a physical fight
Words falling from a window = a domestic conflict
A silent call = an internal cry for help
Falling apart like a stone = loosing it mentally
Landing like flower to a red ground = physical abuse
Your dreams are dead = complete loss of moral perspective
Dont speak over my voice = taking back control
I will return from the shadows to bleed your bed = a warning to karma, in this or the after life (death might have happened)
Basicly it is about a love affair gone horribly bad... imo
Yes. This song resonated with me instantly. I’m the daughter of an incredible woman. Unfortunately, my father was abusive and almost killed her. I witnessed it for the first decade of my life. This song makes me cry but feels so empowering, especially the “don’t you speak over my voice”. Me and mother are finally free.
@@PommeLavande I’m very happy to hear that you are both free 🤗
You should definitely check out the live at the Current version! Amazing harmonies in that one and very different to this. There's also a really amazing version with the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. I very much see it as about domestic violence/abuse in terms of the story/subject matter. "Love is wild" not in a good way...
As for more Aurora, I think you'd really like Murder Song (5,4,3,2,1) at the Nobel Peace Price concert.
warning, heavy subject matter ahead. it’s always been my interpretation, even if it’s quite literal, that the narrator has been pushed out of a window. that’s why the earth is covered red and she lands in the meadow. furthermore, that the person who did it might have r*ped or been in an abusive relationship with the narrator. saying time stands still, can’t remember that day, it feels like it happened quiet, eyes are hollow, pillow and bed being mentioned, “love is wild” all being things pointing to that type of traumatic event or relationship in my opinion. “and i bleed in your bed, turn it red, like the ground outside your window” being the line that always keeps me interpreting it this way.
that being said though, this song is one of my absolute favorites no matter what interpretation i see in these reaction videos, and when a song can say so many things and be good every way it’s a wonderful thing.
That has always been my interpretation, with the addition that she warns him: I ´ll be back from the shadows... Genious Aurora
Aurora is the physical embodiment of her music. She is simply a charismatic enchantress. Aurora also has a unique personality and she is very intelligent and also very, very funny. Check this out as a short glimpse of her personality and humour, a short clip from Tik Tok made with the assistance of a fan "How To Attract Guys", unfortunately this has been changed to a smaller screen version than it was originally but the effect is still good (ua-cam.com/users/shorts_cEWy7MNchU). I hope you enjoy it.
Yes, I do not know Lara Fabian's music, but I cannot imagine that she could immerse herself in the music more than Aurora.
More than a year has passed since your last reaction to an Aurora song. Why? I look forward to your new reaction to Aurora!
She sings in a very old church called Nidarosdomen. Love from Norway 🇳🇴
I think I like the "live at the current" version better but she's always so good live anywhere
Agreed. Magical harmonies not included in this version. And a softer more angelic delivery. Though this is more 'angry' energy which is cool too.
Yes live at current version is amazing. A lot of people who watch reactions always suggest this concert for some reason. I don't find her heartfelt connection to it as beautiful as it may sound!
Agreed. It feels a little rushed too in comparison.
Yes thank you! Every aurora fan seems to like this version. Current version is superior
@@Smaugyyy true true
For future Aurora reactions would recommend:
- Lucky from the same concert (Nidarosdomen)
- "All Is Soft inside" and/or "Churchyard" live from KEXP 2018
- Little Boy in the Grass live from Mahagony Session
- Soulless Creatures live from Bergen 2020
I totally agree with each one of these recommendations-all of them are masterpieces!
I love this song. I prefer version from The Current, but generally it is great:). And it is not about war. In my interpretation it is about some domestic violence and/or abusive relation which ended bad.
i prefer the current version too...stripped back
Yes, I believe it concerns domestic violence. I witnessed it as a child and that’s instantly what came to my mind the first time I heard the song. This is my favourite version. Such anger, pain, and intensity. I love that she included the “don’t you speak over my voice”. Made me cry in the car with my mother who escaped the abuse. I’m so very proud of her.
@@betmo I love both, but as a DV witness, this version does a better job at manifesting the true pain which the song describes. Much more chaotic and emotional. That’s what abuse is.
It will surprise me if Aurora did not write 90% of this song herself.... In every intervju and all the documentaries I have seen it is only Conqueror that is written as a collective.
The "wiki" say: "AURORA said she started writing this song the first day after the release of her debut album."
So my guess is that the song was mostly written, and she finished it with Sacha Skarbek. How much different it is finished is difficult for me to say, but Aurora like to have 100% controll over EVERY aspect of her songs, videos, layout, everything....
It was a big issue with Conqueror, she was not happy with it, and was "forced" to include it, and use it in the promotion.. and she was not happy... The moment the promotion tour was done she refused to preforme it anymore. She said in intervjues that she HATED the song. The song became a symbol on what she hated with the music industry. She told her management that if she ever had to give out music she did not like again, she would quit.... She told her sisters: "If I can't be me, what's the point?". (Sorce: "once Aurora documentary and intervjues in Norwegian newspapers).
The lyrics are complicated in the way that they're much open to interpretation and can represent different things to different people,
but they are simple in the way that they definitely are written from a point of view of someone victim to something with a destructive nature. Simple in that her performance always makes me cry...
I'm a 33 yo man and I've struggled a lot. I don't want to analyze my own reaction too much but having such a strong connection and emotional reaction to the song I think it's because I see the struggles Aurora has had and her strong mind to fight through it.
This can be anything, but as we all know, a glass of water can only hold so much until it spills over... my connection would not be the same if I didn't see her and definitely not if I didn't hear her. I see her... bless her.
This is my favourite version of this song because it’s got strings, which creates this haunting atmosphere that accompanies the lyrics perfectly (the album version has a baritone (?) choir, which creates this space of doom, or the like).
I always interpret this song as being about abuse from a loved one, hence the ‘love is wild’, feathers flying, blood in the bed, not remembering, and the hollowed eyes. The last part of ‘don’t you speak over my voice, I will return from the shadows’ is more so about haunting the perpetrator with remembering what happened, and that they won’t ever get peace with what monstrosities they committed. They can no longer lie, or misconstrue the reality of the matter.
Now, this might just be since I cannot help but think about my mother (and her ex partner) and the abuse she put me through for years and years (directly, and indirectly), and how I fully believed and trusted that she loved me when I was a child simply because she said so, whilst her actions said otherwise.
"I fully believed and trusted that she loved me when I was a child simply because she said so, whilst her actions said otherwise." Exactly describes my mother and childhood. Whether it's a parent or a spouse or someone else who supposedly loves you, they always have conciliatory words that follow the abuse as if it was a freak occurrence that will never happen again. Words are wind.
Well, we are similar but different. When I first discovered this song, it brought me back to a time of childhood violence. Except I was mostly the witness. My father almost murdered my mother. This song puts it so well and this particular version renders it even more realistic to me.
Thank you for you. Such kind words you speek. God bless you. Thanks for your reactions ,i'm happy you apreciate aurora... she-s Wonderful
I think I like the version at Current better, there you have only Aurora and backup vocalist Silja Sol on guitar.
The harmony between the two of them are just so beautiful 😍
It has nothing to do about war.
This song is very sad, it’s inspired by domestic violence.
And when she sings about “as I land like a flower on the meadow”, not a flower landing on the meadow, she’s singing about falling out through the window and landing dead like a flower on the meadow.
“Love is wild”, it’s about how mean people can be in a relationship, domestic violence.
Aurora talking about the songs on Infections Of A Different Kind step 1:
“It’s quite empowering. Many of the songs are about people taking choices on behalf of themselves, about coming back for revenge. In my more delusional stories like ‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’, the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt them. It’s about the process in becoming a warrior, a true warrior for the world - but you have to work on your own stuff first.”
AURORA
Could you please react to
“The Seed” official video
It’s a very powerful song and music video
I usually love her live performances the best, but with this song I think it’s very important to watch the video 👍
ua-cam.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/v-deo.html
Yes, I also like The Current version better, even though the entire Nidarosdomen concert is amazing as well.
@Josh: I highly recommend you watch this version privately if you are interested: youtu . be / 9U-N6LqzdIM
Incredible harmonies with her backup singer Silja Sol, who unfortunately left now after many years with Aurora to pursue her own career. She is sorely missed by fans, the performances with Aurora and Silja are legendary in the Aurora fan community.
...and the way she pronounces "pillow" in that performance is like she is describing not a real pillow, but some perfect heavenly pillow, or the concept or essence of the all pillows 🙂
For me its sounds like domestic violence
BTW yo add to my previous post: in a case of some performers like Aurora:
1) it is often not so easy to interpret in first listen and to some songs you can have different interpretations
2) It is easier to interpret with sound and emotions (like you feel it is sad story and you feel emotions of song which helps to interpret lyrics you are hearing)
everything she does has purpose. her ability to tell a story and transport everyone to it is next to none. im in tears every time really.
Omg so happy you did this review! I actually requested this song before! She’s got the voice of an angel
I would agree that Live at the Current version of this song captures this song at its core. Well worth watching either privately or publicly--it is a very beautiful performance to behold. Love your thoughtful reactions and hope to see more in the future!!
I think she already is, and will become even more so, one of the greatest artist in music. In her own kind - she is one of a kind. Technical she's so good, but it's that layering that she does in any way that makes her so magical. I'll be seeing her for the first time in September and I can't wait. I even hope I'll be lucky to meet her. Yes, I said it. Lucky. And to tell her that even dough her succes I hope she can keep carrying the world for her own luck but also for other people, and generations. Because my young boy, I'll be telling him who she is. And what she stands for.
💖💖
Dla mnie Aurora, jest wolnym ptakiem. Tak jak kiedyś Kate Bush. Pozdrawiam z Polski.
Thank you for your reaction. I recommend you listen to her studio version with guitarist Silje as well. It’s intense in a completely different way. To me, like a lot of other ppl have written, this song is about domestic violence. When she sings “love is wild”, I hear “love is violent”. When she says “don’t you speak over my voice”, it’s a victim that finally speaks up.
From what I have understood from comments, Aurora has never confirmed that this is what this song is about. She’s just said that the song is about what ppl want it to be, and you can go as deep as you want.
As a child witness to my father’s abuse of my mother, I also believe this to be about domestic violence. Makes me tear up every time. I love this version.
@@PommeLavande I’m so sorry to hear that you had to go through that. It must have been heartbreaking. I wanted to react to your comment, but tapping “thumbs up” felt so very wrong, but “thumbs down” means something very different. This is an instance where I wish that there were more options like there are on Facebook, where you can leave a heart or a hug.
I haven’t been subjected to domestic abuse as such, but my parents had a loveless marriage, and I was the reason they married, and I sometimes feel that it came across. Not intentionally, but on some subconscious level I have felt that my younger sister has been treated differently than me. Even though we are grown up a long time ago, my sister still shows signs of that.
I have been lucky to find a loving husband who I have two sons with. He has raised our sons to take very good care of their mom, so I am sooo thankful for that. I truly hope that you have love and happiness in your life ❤️ Hugs!
@@Nora-jt9zy Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad that you have found happiness and joy with your family. I continue to look after my mother. Unfortunately, I’m now 20 and struggle with complex PTSD. I’m at university and just being around people causes panic attacks, but I’m trying to rewire my brain, almost, with therapy. I’m just grateful my lovely mum is still here as she was almost killed. Hugs to you too.
@@PommeLavande Take the time you need to heal. Be patient with yourself, and be kind to yourself. And don’t forget… all the kind words and care you would show a friend who would go through what you went through, show that to yourself. It’s so easy to be harder on yourself that you would be on other people. Try to tell yourself on a regular basis that you are good enough just the way you are. We tend to feed the inner voice that put ourselves down, and then that voice becomes the louder one (I know I’m guilty of that), but I try get better at telling myself that I’m good enough, that I am loved, that I am good at things I am good at, to boost my confidence a little. I still have a long way to go (and I’m a lot older than you), but I do believe in that we get better at what we practice, so I will keep practicing 😊 So next time you look at yourself in the mirror, give yourself a nice smile, and feel good about yourself for being able to do that 😊 Baby steps are WAY better than no steps at all 😊 Take care 🤗🤗🤗
@@Nora-jt9zy Yeah, I was listening to this song last night and mentally said “I’m proud of me”. I really have a habit of beating myself up emotionally and feeling as though i’m inadequate. So I’m taking things a step at a time, but I’m doing really well at university and want to keep working hard. There are good and bad days, but I need to keep moving forward. I wish you the best of luck in life, you are a kind soul!
I'm not finished the video yet but I'm really appreciating the deep dive into the lyrics here at the start. Is this something you do on all your videos? If so I'd suggest taking a look at Elliott Smith's stuff if you don't know him already. Waltz #2 (XO) would be my first pick.

Depuis 18 mois que j'ai découvert AURORA, je lis souvent les commentaires et regarde les réactions. Quelqu'un rappelle que la Norvégienne n"écrit pas de chansons nombrilistes ou qui parlent de sa sexualité, ses paroles vont vers les autres et elle s'inspire de faits du réel - et pas de son réel - Mais elle a la liberté de l'écrivain, je suis moi-même autrice et pas du genre à raconter ma vie mais de s'inspirer des autres, du réel, des faits ou d'autres artistes et surtout de ce nous imaginons.
Je suis un peu déçue par les commentaires, si SingerDad Reacts parle d'une chanson d'AURORA parlez en et si vous y tenez en sus de la pub pour d'autres artistes.
AURORA a une particularité : tout en elle renvoie les autres artistes au passé et parmi les artistes actuels elle a tant de talents dans tous les domaines de la chanson (écriture, composition, interprétation sur disque et surtout en public, voix, danses, surtout émotions permanentes, discours plein d'humour, interviews...) que les autres ne sont par comparables. Et pour corser le tout elle est si imprévisible dans ce qu'elle fait que toute vidéo d'AURORA a son intérêt abaissant encore le niveau des autres.
Translate :
In the 18 months since I discovered AURORA, I often read the comments and watch the reactions. Someone reminds that the Norwegian does not write navel-gazing songs or songs that talk about her sexuality, her lyrics go out to others and she is inspired by facts of reality - and not her reality - But she has the freedom to l Writer, I myself am an author and not the type to tell my life but to draw inspiration from others, from reality, from facts or from other artists and above all from what we imagine.
I'm a little disappointed with the comments, if SingerDad Reacts talks about an AURORA song talk about it and if you care about it in addition to advertising for other artists.
AURORA has a particularity: everything about her refers other artists to the past and among current artists she has so many talents in all areas of song (writing, composition, interpretation on record and especially in public, voice, dance, especially emotions permanent, humorous speeches, interviews...) that the others are not comparable. And to make matters worse she is so unpredictable in what she does that any AURORA video has her interest lowering the others even further.
Aurora said it could be about rape and revenge but it could also mean different things to different listeners
The song is actually not about war, it’s about domestic abuse/violence
You have just explained why i dislike reactors who dont listen to the whole song and constantly make assumptions before they know what she's singing about ie Love is wild piece . You must also understand she does not write about her personal life ,she has often said this . She had a amazing childhood by all accounts but didnt enjoy school to much. There are many short video's on here where she talks about her childhood.
Would you please check out ANGELICA HALE recently recording performance EASY ON ME, I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IS, UNCONDITIONALLY, STONE COLD DRIVER LICENSE, TALKING to the MOON, REACH, WHAT ABOUT US, SKYSCRAPER, SCARS to BEAUTIFUL, BORN this WAY n many more thank you.
Angelica Hale 2017 AGT performances when she was 9 singing RISE UP, GIRL on FIRE for the Golden Buzzer, CLARITY, WITHOUT YOU, you for the final she's the first youngest runner up in the history of AGT n AGT the CHAMPION singing THE FIGHT SONG for the 2nd, Golden Buzzers and she's the only one to receive 2 Golden Buzzers in the history of AGT IMPOSSIBLE, she has alot to react to please looking forward for your reaction to Angelica Hale.
Olá Josh,un saludo desde Brasil,me gostaria muchissimo se tu hicieras una reaccion a Gabriel Henrique stand UP ,my ALL ,Holly nigth,te vá gustar muchissimo,és el mejor cantante latino-americano , gracias,abrazos!!!
Hey Josh, great reaction as always. Please consider revisiting Katrina Velarde. Her husband passed in November and she took a break from recording. Her comeback is a cover of I Surrender in. Collaboration with The Clash Season 3 winner Jessica Villarubin. Released last month the original video is approaching a million views. It it extremely well produced and Katrina performed all the background vocals as well. Here’s the link
ua-cam.com/video/JXXWQhJhbzE/v-deo.html
This has been a trending song for reactors and it’s an impressive piece. Katrina’s emotional performance is exception. Give a listen for us. :)
Angelica Hale is God's Given Miracle Talents Amazing Incredible Beautiful Angel Superstar she's Special and the best.
Not sure but Aurora is very into nature where in nature all animals die where they all bleed and dissolve back into the earth which would mean all of the earth is drenched in blood of all those that lived before.
Can you react to Kate Bush? She and Aurora both are very pure in their art.
Aurora did many cover songs, if you want to react to one of these. With many of them she changes them a lot and makes them her own ("Aurorarising" them), maybe you like her version of a song you did not like before. The first 7 in this list she changed the most, but all the rest are great as well:

Domestic abuse. He kills her. She comes back to haunt him. Companion piece to churchyard.
This song is very much about domestic abuse and codependency. It's a beautiful song about a broken relationship, one with physical violence involved. It's dark, but she brings the personal aspect, a person in that tragic space, who still has a voice.
I believe this to be true. For the first decade of my life, I was witness to my father’s abuse of my mother. Their relationship was chaotic, futile and confusing, above all. Love definitely is wild. My mother had so much love to give but it was to the wrong person. I now repay that kindness back to her and I’m very proud of her.
I really enjoyed your reaction. I have noticed that a lot of American reactions are based on analytics of words (perhaps not so strange since all the news is about "what did Trump mean" or "What did Biden mean" or "how well has Putin lied recently).
It is a bit like how you discuss the second amendment. The idea at the time was great - is it interpreted and applied in the best way possible - that is a different discussion altogether.
Aurora is working in arts - not in diplomacy - so she often counter-points the feel of the musical writing with the text she is conveying. And she is deliberately not giving us a conclusion.
While her stage-persona is telling us "This is of critical importance" via her performance. And that is ART.
Do I need to have met Edith Piaff or understand French to discover 20th-century peak art?
I do not think the brave people of Ukraine have time in distress to watch reaction videos on youtube. If one of you do - know I as one welcome you here if you need safe harbour for a (hopefully) short while.
To Russian young people - I know most of you are not "Kremlin" just like I know Americans are not "white house". I hope we can associate via the internet and in-person soon since I like our "hood". It is not personal that reality is what it is right now.
Good people belong among W&W
This song is about violence. Most likely rape. And by "love is wild" she means love can be violent. Sad song, chilling performance..❤
A very good reaction. Please check the amazing young 14-year-old singer Viki Gabor, who performed a brilliantly cover of Rihanna -„Stay”in the program ”Your Face Sounds Familiar”. link below. Greetings!!
ua-cam.com/video/dYyZ39GFR_k/v-deo.html
this song is about love going wrong...more of a domestic violence song....
