Aurora - Churchyard (Live on KEXP) 

After careful consideration and countless hours in contemplation, I've finally come to the conclusion that Aurora is in fact a fairy

I get this really comfortable vibe of insanity from this performance

This song is definitely the best version I've heard live and it even beats the studio version to be honest

Watching aurora go crazy while singing is honestly beautiful. She makes it look so *normal.*

Aurora: “Churchyard” is just like the concept of someone bigger using their power in the wrong way, that happens all the time in politics, with children, women. I wanted the songs to feel empowering - like at the end of “Churchyard”, she comes back to haunt him. Quote is from her Interview with the Independent. September, 2018.

My friend: what is this music, it is not heavy metal Me: He re he ro he re hu ma He re he ro he re

those tribal sounds really hit hard like we were dancing in a campfire 20 thousand years ago

About time the Elf World sent us a good singer!

Shes the only one of her kind... she must be protected at all cost..

This is the song you give them when the alien overlords ask you to show them what you got.

The sound of Aurora and Silja harmonizing is the most angelic thing ever.

To all my fellow warirors and weirdos out there: Keep fighting, keep breathing, don't let anyone ever ever make you feel worthless. You're perfect as you are!

When she raised her hands while singing the chants .. it feels like she surrendered her body and soul to the music and became an art form herself.

This gives me chills everytime. The energy she creates is ancient, magical and so brightly dark

This song is a masterpiece. I love how she has an almost out of body experience while performing and then she comes back to being herself at the end of the song. Brilliant!!

I just saw her live last night. One of the best performances I've ever seen. She's absurdly talented.

Everybody’s heard of Billy Eillish but nobody’s heard of this fantastic talent.

I love those "he re ho ro he re ouma".

By 2050... we will have something to look back on modern music history

This is my favorite song ever. I've listened to it 137 times

Ive watched this performance too many times now

There aren't many bands anymore that sounds so tight-knit, and so GOOD live. They totally jive, they don't sound like different band members. They sound like one unit. THIS is pure ear gold. That reverb on the voices though... 😍😍😍😍😍

I recently discovered her 2 days ago and I can't get this song out of my head. Totally love how she fells this song. She reminds me of Björk

So much more alive than the studio version! Love the drummer!! 👏

What I love in this, is that your can clearly heard her Scandinavian roots... Truly beautiful and pure.

i stumbled over a random video, heard her singing for like 5 sec, spend the whole day finding this song and man do i enjoy finding this.

He told me I belong in a churchyard He told me I could walk away, but I wouldn’t get far Tell me how do people know what is hurt, what is love? He told me I’d belong in a churchyard Words pointy like arrows Wounds no one can see He closed all the windows As his anger broke free I will not remember You as somebody nice Please will you remember me And cry? 4x (Da-la-da-da-la-da) (Da-la-da-da-la-da) He told me I belong in a churchyard He told me I could walk away, but I wouldn’t get far Tell me how do people know what is hurt, what is love? He told me I belong in a churchyard Hate followed him gently Black seeds in his heart Who’s tearing the love in him Apart? 4x (Da-la-da-da-la-da) (Da-la-da-da-la-da) He told me I belong in a churchyard (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re) He told me I could walk away, but I wouldn’t get far (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re) Tell me how do people know what is hurt what is love? (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re) He told me I belong in a churchyard (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re) 2x (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re) 8x (He-re-he-ro-he-re) (Ouma-he-re-he-ro-he-re)

This is a true artist 🙌

I keep coming back to this performance and all I can say about it is: _if you don't love this, you don't love music._

1:55 that little liq she sings is just an eargasm

I'll never get tired of this song. It's like releasing a ball of emotions, pain and pressure out of my chest.

I wish more people would listen to her, i know she has many fans/listener but she still so underated. I hope she will get the recognition she deserve. Wish you a good luck and can't wait to hear more songs from you, Aurora ❤️ Also if you haven't watch her cover of 'Teardrop' check it out :)

This band is so fun to watch. Each player is unreal, especially silja sol and n backup singing to a perfect pitch. This is one of my fave live performances for sure.

Watching this video was the first time I heard Aurora and this song. I was very impressed. Its perfect

The best fucking album ever made.

The only bad thing about this song is that it ends 😢😢😢

she looks like she’s having so much fun 🥰

To me, this version of Churchyard is the best thing has Aurora ever made. What a performance, pure fire! Her band is awesome too 🔥

She is Art.

Харизма и талант, энергия просто фонтаном!!!

What a performance, I stumbled upon this artist by accident today and this is my first encounter, blew me away

come back to this every couple weeks lol

This live performance sounds surreal. I love it

You have no idea of the amount of strength that your music gives my soul and my mind on its darkest moments... THANK YOU AURORA

*I fall in love with her, AH* Me all day: HE RE HE RO HE RE UMA HE RE HE RO HE RE

There are few songs I play 2-3 times back to back each time I listen. This was one. One of the greatest songs I've ever heard and I grew up on rock metal and electronic. This song makes me tear up but it's never sadness

It's so fresh, like summer air after rain!

Aurora at 2:00 channeling the beat, the natural raw emotions she busts out is epic.

My god I LOVE this version. I love how intense Aurora gets. And I haven't seen this mentioned a lot, but I love the drums in this song particularly? Magnus is really going for it and it shows. It just gives the song such a cool vibe. Thank you AURORA

I usually listen to extreme metal, but this somehow speaks to me in the same, weirdly beautiful, way.

I love how comfortable she is feeling her music, so fkn cool

That girl has the most sweet smile I have never ever seen in my whole life. REALLY. She's lovely.

Her music comes so alive when we see her singing it. Her whole body is part of her voice somehow. And the band's singing here - wow!

This song is definitely one of my favourites, its so emotional and powerful at the same time

my friend told me to search for here hero here humma and yes

2:44 ha-rá ha-ró ha-rá hú-mma Here is the most important part of the song. One doesn't need words to express the essential. In this triumphant cry manifests itself the emotional denouement of the story. This is how sounds the Spirit - powerful, passionate, profound. Magnificent! 🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿⚡⚡⚡

I prefer this version than the original. I also like the original but when I listened to this for the 1st time... woaahhh, I felt in love!!! Edited: Woah, I feel very "shocked" for the fact that my comment has over 300 likes xDD. I've never expected such amount of likes for a "simple comment". ¿Should I say thanks for the likes? I would feel stupid doing so. I know now that there´s more people that has the same opinion of this song as me. Edited 2: Wow, today 29th June 2020 I turn to watch this video again, like a lot of times before, and I found that my comment has over double likes than last time (814) I checked it!!! I understand now why some people get excited and a bit "addicted" to likes hahahaha. It's been a year and half since I wrote that comment and here we are, a pandemic and a lockdown happening and actually I've seen Aurora in live since the Edited thing and I can say she was amaaazing in the concert. Thanks again to everybody who reads this and listen Aurora, she's the artist and protagonist!!!!

I watch Aurora and she gives me a piece of her soul to share. I feel lucky to have stumbled on her music.

That's why people live on this planet. To sing and listen songs like this

Al ser una cancion triste y halgo algo turbia, y al verla cantarla de esa manera, no se pero me hace sentir algo que no puedo explicar con palabras, aurora una artista de verdad, la mejor, doy gracias a dios por dejarme seguir en este mundo y dejarme conocerla 🙏

I cannot express how much I love Aurora, Silja, Magnus & Fredrik ... to me they are the main band and I'd be gutted if that circle was broken. I'm 60yo and Aurora and the band really penetrate my being with great joy, optimism and happiness. It's not "just another band" it's a major happening to me and obviously I'm not Robinson Crusoe !!

For the last 48 hours Im listening and watching this for at least 20 times.

Aurora and Reykjavik, what a combination. I've only visited once but saw a stunning female duo perfom surrounded by people half my age and felt so welcomed. I don't think anyone can explain why Reykjavik is so special you just have to experience it yourself. Same goes for Aurora.

So this is what magic sounds like

My one year old son really loves this ❤️ he smiles so much, his eyes light up and we dance together. Its so beautiful. Thankyou so much. We really appreciate it 🙏

That little head twitch is the best! I wanna lose control and dance around in the forest. Clothing optional 😉

im in love with siljia

No debo ser el único en pensar que esta mujer tiene la mirada de una Diosa en trance , dios te bendiga mujer.

I fell in love with her music, She's Awesome

"He told me I could walk away, but I wouldn't get far" Is basically the man I married when I was 19, I got away from him when I was 25 and now I'm 53 and loving how far I got. 😍❤‍🔥

There's so much serotonine rushing on her brain; OMG I just love her so much!!!

I want her to be my friend so bad

The type of absolutely crazy singer I freaking adore 🍀 She moves the way she feels the music the best, its her art

I'm listening greatest song 👍 from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿

When she's rockin out to the tune towards the end is phenominal

There is something very spiritual about this song when I listen to it. It is like I am brought to a different plane. Brings me to a connection to the earth and all the people. Many of her songs make me feel this way and it is absolutely beautiful. She is an incredibly talented young lady.

What a talented, absolutely fascinating, beautiful being. I keep running into her stuff and thinking, "I want to like her music but I'm not finding the thing that really pulls me in." And here it is.

Loved the Cocteau Twins and Sugarcubes back in the day. This performance left me feeling awestruck, dumbstruck and thunderstruck all at once.

Churchyard and All is soft inside will always be my favorite Songs of our Queen. Oh, and In Bottles, of Course.🤪😜🥰

Aurora is amazing because she interprets music darkly and brilliantly, and combines complicated flights of expression with controlling every note to a T

Why she has so much vibe and energy, you can feel it every time you see it

The sound...its mindblowing and unreal. I visit this specific performance very often.

Everyrhing about Aurora is beautiful.

Wow at the end you can totally see her come back to this time/space/reality. She really is from another ether man ...wow! aurora is a portal to other worlds and realms... music can be used as portals. Also, I'm high as a kite right now :)

This is the best thing I have ever seen...

So my new years resolution was to go to as many concerts as I could possibly go and afford. I met Aurora in a videogame show where she explained her collaboration in an indie videogame. I was captivated by her personality. I remembered I had heard that name before on my spotify playlist so I looked out and I stumbled upon Running with the wolves and Cure for me that somehow I had saved but I had no recollection of ever doing that. Anyway, I re listened to them and I liked them a lot so I started adding more songs and man this girl can sing, it sounds ethereal, like somehow my body is gently leaving my body and feeling nothing but peace. Still I was a newbie but I was captivated. This whole year I was chasing for concerts all the time, the new years eve thing. I found out she was coming to Mexico and I bought the ticket right then and there. Stil thinking if it was a good financial decision because I wasnt a fan after all. The day came and I can honestly tell you it has been one of the best days of my life, she has a way to connect with people, you can actually feel her emotions through her voice, her charisma and how she dances and floats around the stage, it will always be in my memory. She has a beautiful soul. I've been in 15 concerts this year, even went to see one of my top 3 bands of all time and still, this is the best concert I've been this year. And ever since that concert, she is one of my favorite artists. I listen to her daily now. It's 2 am in here, in my safe place: Aurora's music.

There is something very otherworldly about her 🧚🏼‍♂️

She sings with her BEING!! Absolutely love her!

I’m happy I got to experience this humans music

This song put me in a very specific moment of my life. Right after my wife quit me, this song came randomly in my youtube feed... since then, this song brings me so much memories... such a good song, thank you aurora.

Somehow, this reminds me 90's and early 00's music. Don't know how to explain this, but when music flows with lyrics, and singing isn't just random words, or good singing with just random music, here singing just blends together with music, like one piece, singing and music just make one piece of melody. And most importantly, it's very rare for today's music, this song let's you'r imagination play :)

He told me I belong in a churchyard He told me I could walk away but I wouldn't get far Tell me how do people know what is hurt, what is love? He told me I belong in a churchyard Words pointy like arrows Wounds no one can see He closed all the windows As his anger broke free I will not remember You as somebody nice Please will you remember me And cry? He told me I belong in a churchyard He told me I could walk away but I wouldn't get far Tell me how do people know what is hurt, what is love? He told me I belong in a churchyard Hate followed him gently Planted seeds in his heart Roots tearing the love in him Apart He told me I belong in a churchyard He told me I could walk away but I wouldn't get far Tell me how do people know what is hurt, what is love? He told me I belong in a churchyard

2:04 what I look like when I take a shot

Truly a different kind of human!

I got really positive energy from her. Every single her movement is so mysterious and making me to imitate her dancing...:)

She is lovely and she has a lovely voice.. seems like such a free spirit, I wish I could fly with her in the frozen sky.

Love the final chorus onwards, is so badass, mystical, powerful yet delicate and haunting

I love this

Old soul in a new body

Ok I just came across Aurora a couple weeks ago when I was looking up Wardruna and she is soooo amazing but is is just be or does her live stuff sound even better then the recorded stuff. Both are amazing it’s just rare to get a performer that can attack a stage harder then a studio. 💚💚💚💚
