    When I see this video it reminds me of two things. 1. The birth of Venus by Botticelli. 2. Aurora herself makes me think of the silver screen heroines of the 1920’s &’30s. That makes me wish it was filmed in black & white.
    Thank you again for one little thing that makes Tuesday just a little better every weeek.

    Doja Cat was really blown away by this. She had plans of using something similar in a video but Aurora beat her to it. There are actually a video out here that shows Doja as she is finding this video. Its quite a nice reaction from her. And in her own words, she loves Aurora. Well, duh! On a side note neither here or there, but Aurora was quite proud of her underboobs here. Go figure. The paragon of a decent and proper music artist said, and I quote " I thank my mom and dad for my underboobs" That's Aurora for you. I just love this woman, artist, songwriter, singer, producer, poet, creature, fellow human. Thanks Ashlena and love from Norway.

    This is Aurora’s love song for her fans. There are some little tributes to Leonard Cohen songs in the lyrics. When Aurora sings “we are leaning out for love and will lean out forever” Is from his song Suzanne.

    Loving the love for Aurora 💃 what an amazing talented, grounded earthy gift Aurora is 🙌🏻 she is the gift that just keeps giving. She is so humble x Aurora reminds of a real life fairy and never fails to make me smile and float away from the every day mundane stuff x
    It’s well worth checking out Aurora at lollapalooza in Brazil 2023 x
    I can’t pick a favorite song from that concert but it’ is a bit of (a lot) of WoW xx cheers from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪for your Content 👌🏼

    Okay, I would like to entice you with some unreleased music by Aurora, audio only, so no great video to watch her perform. Honestly though, there are so many songs that deserve attention, they are amazing. Here are the lyrics to Silhouettes:
    "Silhouettes"
    Myself inside a mirror on the wall
    A look within my eyes I can't recall
    A feeling that I was no more
    And when I stopped, the silhouette moved on
    She turned her head and walked away
    So far I can no longer see
    Hey, hey
    My own reflection on the wall
    Is no longer reflecting me
    Hey, hey
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see the eyes of somebody else
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see reflections of myself
    The lady was a part that I've ignored
    I've felt her underneath my skin before
    I tried to never listen to her words
    Until they were the only words I heard
    The lady on the other side
    She screamed again with angry eyes
    Hey, hey
    And in my hand there was a stone
    I threw it and the mirror broke
    Hey, hey
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see the eyes of somebody else
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see reflections of myself
    Go back where you came from
    Where you belong
    From all the anger
    Where you are numb
    [2x]
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see the eyes of somebody else
    I look in the mirror I see reflections
    I see reflections of myself
    Go back where you came from
    Where you belong
    From all the anger
    Where you are numb

    Her videos is not videos, they are work of art 🙂 The day before this video was shot , AURORA and Viktoria(her sister) was raiding everything they found with pearls just to make this outfit. They also wanted to have this clamshell, but did not know where to find one. They used all of their contacts around Norway, but nobody had one. In the end they finally found one just around the corner from where the made the video🙂

    Hi Ashlena! More than a resident show in Las Vegas, it gives me the sensation of something straight up from one of the safes of the Titanic, something in tune with the Belle Epoque: I imagine Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio sitting in that audience the evening before the event we all know. But in the video the audience is empty, because it was filmed in the midst of the covid period and Aurora wanted to symbolize the situation of all live shows blocked due to quarantine.
    Can't wait to see your reactions to her covers, my favorite being Across The Universe -Triple J, during a tour in Australia. She customizes the final lines of the song to her own style/feel. I like to imagine that John Lennon would approve.

  • @Accolonian
    @Accolonian Рік тому +8

    There is actually no crowd. It's an empty theater. Filmed during corona lockdown on a low budget. She made the dress herself (maybe with her sister) and the girls at the end is some of her friends.

    This was recorded in the time of Covid. Aurora wanted people to feel loved. Pretty much everything in the video is self-made. And the two fan women are Aurora's friends. They stepped in at very short notice when Aurora came up with the idea on set.

    @johnnyshih498 Рік тому +19

    Please don’t forget about the music video for Cure for Me. As far as the other MVs she’s in, I think Storm is a must. Because it’s an actual collab where she wrote some of the song, and the MV is filmed in Norway so it’s her crew. And it’s a visually striking MV.

    Just beautiful. Now you really must react to a live version of this song. She sang it live at the end of the Exist For a love sessions. But also there is a companion song “Potion for Love” which has a live acoustic version on her channel.

  • @RunarNyrud
    @RunarNyrud Рік тому +15

    They made almost everything theirself, Aurora directed the video herself. The headpice: she used 3 days (or was it 4?) taking pearls from old clothes and making a headpice of them.
    The audio you hear is from the old demo they recorded when they made the song, they also kept it on the records, Aurora say that is not perfect, but it had a warmth that her and Magnus wanted to keep.

    Hi dear Ashlena ! YAY ! Finally the last music videos... and you started with one of her most beautiful songs AND videos. The very first time I hjave heard "Exist for love" was in a live video from 2020 (during the pandemic) where she gave a small intimate concert in Norway, performing just three songs (The River, Make you feel my love (Bob Dylan cover) and Exist for love) and when I heard "Exist for love", I almost melted away... so simple, but yet so hautingly beautiful... just like the music video, as you mentioned after the song. I would love to see you react to this little concert one day, since it is so sweet and Aurora is so cute, adorable and also funny ! There is a "complementary" song to "Exist for love", which is called" Potion for love"... also very beautiful, the studio version AND the live version from VEVO ! Another music video with collaboration :
    Sondre Lerche feat. Aurora - Alone in the night (VERY beautiful song with a serious topic behind it : Love and liust in combination with dementia !)
    Okay, this should be enough as an "inspiration" for your next Aurora tuesdays...
    I'll watch the other two Aurora uploads now... and comment on them as well.
    Best wishes from Germany : Gerry

    Thank you for your continuing Aurora Tuesdays! So, there is still so much more… One collaboration I think you would love is Alone in the Night with Sondre Lerche and Aurora. He is a fellow Norwegian and the official video is wonderful. As far as continuing with her own music, I would recommend Potion for Love (live VEVO) which is the companion piece to Exist for Love (it’s a break-up song!). After that, try Animal Soul (the version at Verftet online festival 2020), Soulless Creatures live at Bergen (2020), Why Did You Have to Go (UMV) (a fan-made video - posted by Hann Chan - that accompanies the song she performed only once at the funeral for a friend that was later made available by the family online), and the 20-minute concert at SOS Ole Bull (in Bergen 2020) which includes three songs and some wonderful crowd interactions (make sure you watch the one with English subtitles). I’m sure you’ll get many more suggestions and they will all be equally amazing because, well, it’s Aurora.

    this mv and song came out during the covid pandemic, she was doing live streams in youtube weekly to keep us sane, she was so lovely just talking to us and playing one song, when the music video came out she said that she wrote this song a long time ago but she said that now this song was for us, her fans, so it was very emotional to see the video when she pointed the camara she was singing to us directly 🥹 and the i love yous at the end pointing to the empty spaces in the theater was a direct i love you to us the fans so yeah i think Aurora is the one artist that i know that its this cute with her fans

    @celinel9750 Рік тому +4

    Simplicity, yes I think it's part of her magic song, she use simple words, (part because english is not her language) so using simple words to discribe deep meaning and poetry , this way ppl around the world have access to the message, often poetry is beautyfull only for those who understand the deep meaning, but with Aurora ( as well with The Warning) the simplicity of those words are not taking away from the meaning of the message but can be understand by many more.

    I knew you'd love this one. It's so beautiful, and perfectly fitting for the song. It's amazing what became of conditions forcing them to make a "simple" video, because it's hard to imagine a better video for that song. BTW, she used that clamshell for this song in at least one live performance.
    You still haven't done the "Cure for Me" music video and it's so, so good. It's probably her most popular video, aside from "Runaway." It went viral, as the kids say. 😉
    Her music video with Sondre Lerche, "Alone In The Night," is absolutely gorgeous, both the song and the music video itself. It's about losing someone to dementia, so a very deep subject, which makes it all the more beautiful: ua-cam.com/video/XSK1Bt9O0Pw/v-deo.htmlsi=MUpyKvtm1KFuVb0q
