Aurora's music is frequently inspired by nature. She told The Sun: "'Running With The Wolves' is about freedom and joining nature again, getting away from phones and radio and all the stuff we keep around us." Aurora wrote the song during the blood moon in 2014. She told The 405: "I just imagined the moon turning all the people around the world into wild animals, running away from all the rules, all the materialism and technology. Just being a part of nature again, running free."
I love seeing others touched deeply by her music...anyone else? Our tears are shared. Each of us has our own experiences, impressions, and emotions when listening to the songs...and yet we are not alone. It is such a great gift that she gives to us. I am grateful.
You are infatuated. And you are not alone ! May I suggest that you listen to some of her interviews. She is absolulely a free spirit ! Another reactor said: It’s amazing how this young girl can take on these BIG ideas and turn them into simple words, that are reletable. She does, and you are into a great ride. You have made some great choices, and I’m sure this will continue. Have fun, and keep on crying. Best rgds.........
You're so perceptive, and such a sensitive listener! Reaction videos like yours help us (Aurora's fans) relive the first time we listened/watched a video to a certain song of hers. I must say it's the first time I've teared up while watching this specific video!!! So I should thank you for that!!!🙏 🙏 🙏
@@larryshair the worlds first black country music duo plus they are spearheading a new genre called # Country Trap so go ahead and react to this fun hilarious song ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8B58nxWsFi8.html.
@@larryshair 2nd The Seed music video. For a high impact one Apple Tree. Or for a bit more fun Churchyard live at KEXP. Or even her most recent release this year, Cure for Me. Not to mention all her covers (especially Teardrop or Rasputin)
I've watched a lot of Aurora reaction videos and I have to say that I am really enjoying your reactions to her. She is my absolute favorite artist and human! She is a special and otherwordly treasure gifted to human kind in a time when we need her the most. Keep it up!
Just want to mention some facts. Auroras 2 sisters Miranda & Victoria is responsible for all visual designs. Miranda is the make-up artist and Victoria designs and sows all her clothes. So you might say that the Aurora-concept is a family-business.
I really love your Aurora reactions 🥰🥰 Yes this is truly a masterpiece 👍 My favorite music video of hers is "The Seed", it's mindblowing!!! I am looking forward to your "Lucky" reaction from Nidarosdomen 🙂🙂
Hi, I just watched all your reactions (so far) to Aurora. I am always pleased to find new reactors to her and see how she hits them. I guess you are hooked 😊 Great thoughts and reactions, I will follow your Aurora-journey. Enjoy yourself!
So much in all of her MVs. She is the real deal, a brilliant R-Teest. The MV for I Went Too Far seems to get overlooked. It’s from mid-2016. She’s always gorgeously deep. I haven’t seen much delving and analytical treatment of that one, as well of two of her most challenging videos, for several reasons, Apple Tree and Animal. Deeper reactions to Apple Tree and Animal MVs would require lengthier segments, for the opportunity to comment in real time as well as grapple with unpacking the visuals combined with the lyrics. All of her MVs are unique. So much to process and decipher. The themes and metaphor in The Apple Tree MV are even more challenging, as the lyrics are more of a poem. Apple Tree is a tough nut to crack, and needs the lyrics pulled up, and read again after the viewing. A reading of her own online comments after her songs might be interesting too. I wonder if specials segments on more challenging MVs would be successful. I think the attempt would be cool. Goodness knows, many of us wrestle with trying to pick up on, comprehend and contemplate a lot of the serious and creative content out there.
It is such a treat to see you get involved the way you do, Larry. You pick up the smallest details so instantly. And the way she touches your soul is similar to how I experience her music, her performances, her emotions. I am getting addicted to reactions like yours. What is it in her that provokes so much emotion. I have never seen this with any other artist in my life. Please continue! ♥️
You are right. Her music videos are all very good, very artistic in the way it shows the meaning of the song. I think you will enjoy Lucky live at Nidarosdomen very much. Can’t wait for that one!
The movement thing is interesting. She didn't know she did that until someone showed her a video of herself. She actually found it quite disturbing at first. This song is about technology encroaching on our lives and our ability to connect to nature. Running with the wolves is cutting loose from all that.
Hey HH! Good to see you again! Yes, that makes sense. Not sure who the guy in the car was... That's why I was thinking that she might have been trying to escape from him, but the visuals of the city seems to imply exactly what you observed. Thank you friend!
@@larryshair Hi friend, you know there is not only technology who encroaching on our lives. Also some kind of people with their craving and wrong ego mindset. i really love your spirit and way of reaction.
@@larryshairI think she intentionally writes so that her songs can mean different things to different people depending on where they are and what they need at that point in their lives.
@@freddyberg7281 yes, I see him as an "enforcer" and the last thing "they" want is for someone to question their "reality" and break free and then cause others to question "the system". Think the movie Soylent Green, or Sparticus.
it's so beautiful and emotional to see someone connecting with Aurora, with her essence and her music… she makes us cry. It's completely passionate and pure. Everything is beautiful and deep.. She's a genius.. And thank you so much for this video reaction 💛
Yu need to see her The Seed Video and Queendom....I think she is the future of spirituality. Good reaction. I cry ALOT when I watch her shows and videos. Also. Watch some interviews. That is where yu REALLY see her heart and kindness.
Thanks Julie! Yes, The Seed is the one that I was trying to recall when I was wiping myself off of the floor after that reaction. That is definitely on the roster coming very soon. Thank you Julie for watch her with me!
"Churchyard" and I suggest the live version from the KEXP concert. KEXP is a radio station in Seattle, but apparently they travel well, as the performance actually takes place in a Hostel in Iceland. It's one of Auroras most energetic concerts. Get to see her playful wild side.
i watched alota auroras reaction videos! but yo seemed to be the best to describe the feeing that one feels or the magical feeling one feels when dey watch nd listen to her magical voice! ❤️
My favorite music video from her, it's so powerful and it captures how I feel as well. Being tied down and hurt by society and wanting to be free and finding comfort in nature
I love watching your reactions to Aurora. It is like looking back into a mirror the first time I watched these incredible songs. If you want to cry, I know you have already mentioned "Lucky" on your list - that will do it, so will "Infections of a Different Kind" The live version at the HAIK concert is wonderful. Also "I Went Too Far" Live on the Honda stage. The saddest part of this song is that Aurora tells us at the start that it isn't a sad song, when it is one of the sadest songs that I have ever heard. Knowing that she doesn't realise how sad it is breaks my heart for her.
I love watching people going through the same maze of awestruck enjoyment that I did regarding Aurora. Being from Bergen myself it gives it an extra dimension. Now that Norway has opened up after C19 (yesterday, the 25th of September at 1600) I hope there will be many opportunities to experience her music live. By the way, I hope you have her performance together with Warduna on your list. Wardruna is also a band from Bergen that dives into Viking related music and they invited Aurora to participate on their live show performing the song Helvegen. What a treat that was. It was this performance that led me into searching for more Aurora. And what a rabbit hole that was. In the best possible sense.
Aurora- Churchyard (Live on KEXP). This is my favorite version. Performed at small Icelandic radio station in front of a very small audience. You will get to see her rock out, and her dance moves (Aurora style.). Song starts out very somber, but then changes pace becomes almost tribal and she really lets loose. More on this version than others I’ve seen. Another great reaction. Just subscribed.
Aurora mentioned in an interview that the Wolf is her favorite animal. They are extremely intelligent and loyal. The Pack will will live and die to protect the young and the old. We as humans can and should learn from them.
Great composition great pictures which underline the vocals ! Love your emphatic nature ! So intense and warm you are as a person and through your senses you take me on this ride this adventure which you give more debt and colour ! Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
She's truly shamanistic =) Her disappearing in to the lake is like drawn from the Arthurian mythos of The Lady of the Lake, like the embodiment of nature =)
Oooh, so excited that you're checking out her music videos now! I HIGHLY recommend watching the music video for The Seed. It's powerful, far beyond what words can describe. You'll understand what I mean.
Thanks again for a great reaction to this amazing artist. Hope you will do Little boy in the grass from the Nidarosconsert, if you do check out why this song was written first :) You also should check out some of her cover songs like: teardrop, god is a woman, Rasputin and Walking in the air. :)
All Great reactions to Aurora Larry. Thank You! And no, - I don`t think we are out to see you tear up. At least I am tearing up along with you. Still after watching these videos quite a few times. Perhaps you would not mind a small breake from these darker songs from Aurora, and take a look at her latest, called "Cure For Me". Still a song of wonderful deep lyrics, and strong meanings to it. As always; - talking strongly into our present time. Mainly about the right to be and express who we actually are. The official mv of the song is more than anything putting a great big smile to my face, and if any tears, they are all happy tears, from joy and amusement. Highly recomandable!! :-D What ever you do next, you will be fascinated.
This video always hits me like a truck. I feel at home in my little village in the Alps, surrounded by lush woods, but I have to work and live in the city.
Oh man... If I have a hard time with these past videos, I have no chance with Lucky... Looking forward to it. Lucky is next on the list, then The Seed.
When I first heard her I didn't know what to think, my first thought was this girl is weird. Watching her further she is indeed quirky but in a wonderful way. She's a truly original and creative artist. The messages in her songs really resonate and she is great at expressing herself.
If you want to see the music video that most shows what's important to her and how she expresses herself, it is "The Seed"....That is what you should see next. It's a masterpiece...The other ones I would suggest is "Winter Bird" and "Queendom" music videos..........As for "Graveyard" there is no song by Aurora with that name, so not sure which one you are talking about there. Guessing you meant "Churchyard"
For me, her best rendition of this song was performed during the Live at Glastonbury 2016 concert. The way she steps back to the mic after the break in the song is simply amazing.
Dear Larryshair (2), Because you pleaded to go explore AURORA, I did. Want to thank you again for doing that, also because today my mum, sister and myself are exploring al of her music! When I found this song I looked up iff you did a reaction video about it, and so you did!☺️ (Back then you were much tamer then now 🤣😘) Still keeping your tip of watching/listening to murder 4,3,2,1 for a good moment to do. Lots of love, From a Stan, Fabian
I like your reaction and would suggest to check the official video of most her song, for the expression and scenery she put it them, ( she write, compose, produce most of her song, and she touched evrything on her video. But as Aurora is never truely please with her song she makes them evolve, so the concert version is almost always a bit ( or a lot) different. You can get the same song in different feelings. I haven't red all the comment from my fellow warriors and wierdos, ( the fan's name) but I garantie you that you'll never be out of surprise with her. She's funny, always speak her minde, always find ways to lift your spirit up from crying out your soul of bursting laghing. Enjoey your ride, we'll be here with you.
Hi Larry I’ve seen Aurora live twice now and I’d like to tell you of my experience,first thing there’s no doubt in my mind that Aurora is the best live performer I’ve ever seen seen in concert and believe me at my age of 65 I have seen numerous artists live since the 70s,but this girl is special there we’re times when there was complete silence as she held you in the palm of her hand as she sang poetry to your soul moving emotions inside of you you never thought you had other times the whole concert erupted into singing along with Aurora some in tears for the words had special meaning a message as if just for them and then there were times when you looked at Aurora and she was so shy as if did not know how good she really is but what I loved was the humility she has with her fans her warriors as they are liked to be called,she engaged with them constantly with pure affection and love talking and meaning every word she said.yes she is a beautiful humble human soul who touches hearts and I was so blessed to have been there to witness Aurora for she simply is a Genius ❤️💚💙💛🧡🍎🎭
You should see the one ( live ) with Aurora and Wardruna. Title of the song: Helvegen. It`s a song about death, dying and remembering those who have passed. About crossing over and about letting go. Really nordic viking feel and very different. The voices and old instruments are magical
Nice reactions, it is really fun to see someone go through the same journey as I did 5 years back, and I still get the chills from the same performances! I'm going to recommend 'Life on Mars', David Bowie cover, at Trygdekontoret NRK, just since it was the first I ever saw of Aurora and it made a huge impression. The song has a long history with Aurora, she first performed it in a High School talent show, and in one the concerts she said she wished she had written it!
New subscriber here, I've watched your reactions in chronological order and can say your perception of her is uncanny. Aurora is a genius Empath; she can feel other's emotions, moods, and energy as well as project her own emotions to her listeners. As for her songs, she has said her biggest influences were Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and Enya, I'm certain you've picked up on how she's enhanced the elements each of her influencers bring to their music. Lyrically, I believe she has no match in modern music, the way she can compose a song which can have so many different meanings to so many different people. And yet, these people open-mindedly and passionately feel everything Aurora is sharing with them as if she wrote the song for them, personally. If that isn't genius, I don't know what is. For her to be able to do it in a second language as she does is mind-blowing! You are the first reactor who had the same visceral reaction to this video masterpiece as myself. As I've said in many comments about 🧚 Aurora, she does something in this video which no other artist in the world has the ability to do - she gives you GOOSEBUMPS with a SILENT scream 😍 Thanks for the nice reaction 👏
Thank you Matt! That's one thing that I hadn't put two and two together on yet - English being her 2nd language and able to put these "English" words to such profound lyrics. Great point, there! Thank you for your kind words! This whole reaction video stuff is pretty new to me. Blessings, my friend.
@@larryshair when you have a chance, either for your personal enjoyment or as a reaction, I HIGHLY recommend watching the HAIK (Hike) documentary for insight into what makes Aurora, Aurora. This is a Norwegian public TV show where she is driven around Norway while being interviewed and given surprise experiences and gifts. As you know, there is a concert at the end of the show but Aurora didn’t know ALL that was going to happen. The look on her face as these surprises come to light is absolutely priceless👏 She is an amazing artist and human being who we are blessed decided to listen to her mother’s advice and become an artist. This is touched on in the documentary as well. Oh, you’ll need to read the subtitles for HAIK but it is SO WORTH the extra effort 😍 - enjoy 🤜🤛
This song is a perfect theme song for a book i am reading now. It is a master peace from Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying ; A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century. Love your reaction. Thanks
The Seed, All is Soft Inside (KEXP) live, The River, Queendom, Cure For Me, Churchyard (KEXP) live. All of the Haik documentary, trust me, we will watch it with you, it is glorious.
That silent scream hits me as well, and while, like many others generally prefer her live performances, her MVs are typically well worth watching. For actual choreography I'd suggest Queendom and Apple Tree.
It really depends on the song for me. I love her videos for The Seed, The River, Queendom, Running with the wolves. Though all of these are pretty great in live concerts as well. Auroras physical acting in her videos is beyond spectacular. But watching her unleash the emotion, lose herself in the music and connect with her fans during live performances is where for me Aurora shines the brightest.
If this got to you then the song Why Did You Have To Go(a song she wrote and sang at one of her good friends funeral) will really do it, but it is a wonderful song from the heart.
Every time I watch this music video the silent scream gets me. So powerful. And for me it's not even silent. I can hear that scream in my head. It's that powerful. Aurora has many more truly amazing songs that all deserve a top favourite spot but this particular one have a special place in my heart.
Wolves are wild and.. free. And of course video shows chains and that she wants to be free and in the some time someone drive to her to take her back to "Mega city". Great song, great video and of course also as usual your reaction :). On short: It is about breaking some chains of our civilization and technology and return to nature:). Love how she sing wolves (like howling) and contrast between baren word of "mega city" and a nature and how she calm is in the pictures with nature. Great song and video:). Of course it does not mean we need to live like in old days just to find balance and also remember about this calming and simpler live/joys too and to care about remaining nature areas:). Also Aurora is always about take care of nature as she finds inspiration for music in it and it is a place you can just be yourself and no one wants anything from you. And as far many see it is more and more destroyed/polluted/removed by humans. There is more songs about this topic like f.e. "The Seed" (f.e. official video) or great live performance "Soulless Creatures" from Bergen 2020. Second one is a song from the perspective of Mother Nature (it help a lot with lyrics interpretation :) ). I will also add I like some example analogy with "Running with the Wolves" about mobile phones which we are using all the time. From one point of view it is great thing as we are able to reach each other all the time. But from other perspective it is like chain (f.e. connected with work or when we need to be alone and "charge up" our mental batteries).
Exist for Love is her first and only love song. The MV is stunning. Fun fact: The audio in the video is her very first recorded demo of the song. She decided to release this because “ I thought world could use it right now”
Definitely more Aurora.... There is SO much to choose from! If were going official video versions, I suggest: "Apple Tree" (she actually raps in this song, but of course, it's not rapping....It's Aurora, whatever she does, it's always Aurora). Or, "Exist for Love"......a love song by Aurora, her vocals are B-E-A- Utiful ......"The River" and "The Seed".... OH.....and "Queendom" these are all great official video versions.... If we're doing "Lucky" next, I HIGHLY suggest going back to Live in Nidarosomen, even hardcore official video fans will say this is the better version..... Once again Larry, thanks for your thoughts and insights and sharing your journey...... I have a strange request (I guess) Aurora does many different covers, and everytime she covers a song from a different artist or band, she truly makes it her own. If you decide to tread down this path, I say go with "God is a Woman" originally by Arianna Grande....... It's truly magical.....
@@larryshair Alien beeping...she has that in her repoitore as well. One of my favorites actually. "Different Kind of Human". There are two different performances for this one that I find equally amazing. The more reviewed and viewed is an in studio live performance with Silja, Fred, and Magnus, that is performed either the day after or a few days after Siljas Mother passed away, it's a truly heartfelt performance, the name of the radio station is escaping me at the moment. Christine's Radiofest. The other performance if this song that is less reviewed but should be more reviewed is her "Live at the Carona stage 2021" A performance she did during the heart of the pandemic in an empty theatre with mannequins. It's incredible and I can't make it through the song with a dry eye.
Her video and song for ...the seed....is a more aggressive and angry ......Aurora. Her verse after the first chorus is probably the best way she expresses her personal beliefs on the environment, and how strong they are.
@@larryshair just make sure it's her VIDEO for the seed. The visuals are rarely important in her songs, but are somewhat important in this song. Enjoy your journey down this Rabbit hole.
The fact he gets so invested in the artist makes the pausing not even a problem at all to me. Most pausing only angers people because the reactor misses something due to it. But he is so invested he is sure to pull everything he can out of a song. It's great. Wish more people did it for that reason.
Again, there is no direct connection between the individual songs. That's fanfiction. What indirectly connects the songs is the topic but not the story. There is no direct connection between murder, lucky, it happend quite and all the other songs. To this song. Away from society back to nature. This includes technology and people. That's why she runs away from the man. He is representative of the people who want to prevent Aurora from being free. He stands for the people who want to tell her "no you can't do that". People who want to force her into a position in society where she neither belongs nor wants to be. Aurora's music videos are all always associated with the song.
I think you have "got" her but also I think she is very sensuous. In the same way that a very small girl loves to touch, feel, move, experience, I think she still is like that.
Great to see your reactions, it's like re-living our first time listening to Aurora! I think I could count with the fingers of one hand the times I had cried with a song before Aurora, but she has some special magic that really gets you in the soul! If you want another song that hits you hard, try her version of "Believer". The magic in her voice is like a mermaid calling you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ucY21wLJhOo.html
Great reaction again... I will not give you a new song this time; I know you have a long list :-) Tip: You might know this, but "k" pauses the video, or starts it, arrow left jumps 5 sec back, and "j" jumps 10 sec back :-)
Great reaction! I'm definitely looking forward to your reaction to "Lucky". Just make sure to react to the one at Nidarosdomen : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AmTiqR2_VAw.html And also please keep in mind that she wrote it at the age of 9. Quite remarkable. Love from Norway :-)
Larry take a break from the heavy stuff and do Either "Exist for LOve" masterpiece of vision and song and Cure For Me which defies genre. both Aurora productions. I do like your reactions very much. One benifit in doing Aurora and Angelina is your likes and subs will go up.
