AURORA ~ Songwriter Reacts to All My Demons Greeting Me As a Friend - FULL Album 

Brb sobbing... 😂😭 What artist should I discover next month?? Also if you want to follow my current bops playlist and check out hat i'm listening to atm its here! ▶▶ spoti.fi/3i1AUyu 😘

“This might be my new favorite album!” Step 1 and Step 2, “Hold our beers.” 😂

AURORA really said “Let me write one of the greatest debut albums”

1:39 - Runaway 4:19 - Conqueror 7:01 - Running with the wolves 9:42 - Lucky 13:00 - Winter Bird 15:48 - I went too far 18:34 - Through the eyes of a child 22:49 - Warrior 25:30 - Murder song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) 28:50 - Home 30:56 - Under the Water 32:57 - Black Water Lillies 35:59 - Half the World Away 37:11 - Nature Boy 38:59 - Wisdom Cries

fun fact: "Lucky" is her oldest song which she wrote when she was 9.

also: she wrote runaway at 11. she says she still performs it because it always means something different in different stages of her life. im in awe of her

Listening to Aurora is like healing by rediscovering parts of your soul that slipped away as you were growing up, and blending the old bits with who you are now into a more complete self.

Fun fact: Aurora calls her fans "warriors and wierdos". She aknowledges and celebrates differences among people (references wierdos as a positive word) and she speaks out her mind about important global matters, ( ref. warriors of love). In her song Queendom she starts with "The underdogs are my lions, the silent ones are my choir". Aurora is simply brilliant. Stay emotional ♥️

your soul has been touched by AURORA's music and it's the most incredible feeling in the world

AURORA's live performances are a must-hear and see! She takes all her songs up to another level. I recommend reactions to her songs from the Nidaros Cathedral concert, the 2018 KEXP concert, and the HAIK concert (in a forest) for three excellent but very different venues.

Aurora has said she wrote murder song after reading about a man who killed his wife who had a terminal illness, but she has also said that she wants people to connect to her lyrics in whatever way speaks to them and many people relate the song to having to euthanize their pets and how painful it is. Wonderful reaction, I look forward to see your reactions to step 1 and step 2 ❤ you really must watch her live too, it's a complete experience worth every moment!

Can't wait when you listen to her second album infections of a different kind

You are going to self detonate when you hear her next albums. Even though its hard to belive they are even better. Its actually insane.

You need to listen to her next two albums: Infections of a different kind (part 1) and Different kind of Human (part 2). She really matures as an artist and her production (which she does herself) is immaculate. The structures of her songs evolves to be more interesting and her lyrics are more profound. This is not surprising considering most of the songs on “all my demons greeting me as a friend” she wrote in her childhood from age 9 ( “lucky”) upwards. It was also her first time in studio so the production was more experimental than it was intentional as she was just discovering that element of song making.

through the eyes of a child is my go to song for when i'm having panic attacks, its just so beautiful and it calms me down

You would like her Queendom video, there's a place for all of us.

Your reaction really touched my heart! I feel like this album comes from such an inner place and it feels so soft and brutal at the same time. I am looking forward to more from our favorite fairy AUORA! Guess you are a warrior now ;)

I tried holding my tears when he started getting emotional 😃👌

I never cared for this album as much, but the next 2 (Step 1 and Step 2) are incredible. Im so excited for you!!

Many thanks for the reaction and a warm welcome to the Warriors and Weirdos fandom. On your journey into the Aurora wormhole I recommend her next album, infections of a Different Kind Step 1, next. It magnificent. And do yourself a favour and listen to murder song acoustic. The best version of this is the live version at the Nobel peace prize concert. Actually she is amazing live. I suggest you do step one album reaction and then do the KEXP Iceland concerts where she does 6 or 7 of the songs live. One of the best live concerts you will ever see. Tell me I’m wrong :-).

AURORA is truly a phenomenon to cherish. So excited for you to get into her entirety

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO HER NEXT TWO PROJECTS

You're gonna cry so hard listening to It Happened Quiet. That song is just... Wow

*Yay, Step 1 and 2 next!* Can we get reactions to *Sevdalizas* two albums - *ISON* and *Shabrang* and *The Calling* EP, she’s such a great songwriter and singer

Gosh did i cry with you during through the eyes of a child....hope you read your comments. Aurora will do you good my friend. Dig deep into her music. She will change your life

I remember seeing Aurora in a small club in Berlin in 2015. Was my first concert, was standing right in front of her, not even a meter away, performing. Looking up to her I could not help it but cry, it was wonderful and touching. After the show she met with people to take photos with, I did too. She is such a sweet person.

About “Lucky”, I don’t remember where I read it but I remember reading that it’s actually about her favorite tree that was going to be cut down but whoever was going to do it changed their mind and she felt like a piece of her was saved

Few little inside so you get to know her a bit better: she learn to play piano by herself when she was 6 and start composing, then add english lyrics when she was 9. she was playing only for herself, to escape in her own world. she publicly played at 14 for the 1st time at school, then some one put it on the net. a producer saw it and want to to signe her for an album, she refused! her mom told her that her music could help ppl so she decide to go for that only reson. you just listen to the result of that periode. she realy didn't like to do show, she was to nervous so to calm down she used to count Pi in her head (up to 200 decimal). It took her about 100 show to feel better about all that attention. You can find ''meaning'' for each song but she prefer not to tell so that the song brings you what you need. Murder song tho was a true story that she red in the newspaper about a man killing his wife cuz she was suffering to much from deadly deseas. She produce her album, design her close with her sister, (fashion deisgner) cut her hair by herself with a pizza cisors, still don't know to read music, refuse to have make up on (only her sister can touch her face to get some lttle blush on). she is a facinating human being. And her favorit music is heavy metal. So welcome to the famelly my friend ! (sorry for my english i'm a french canadien)

I listened to the album just a month ago and it literally changed my life

It’s such a shame that I see so many reactors skip the acoustic version of Murder Song because it is the more powerful and beautiful version of the song. However the best experience of Murder Song is to watch her live performance of it at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert! It’s a must watch! I loved watching your reaction to this album though because it’s how so many of us felt when experiencing Aurora for the first time. She is unique and special. And watching her perform adds a whole other level to the experience! She is amazing live!

...and she is even better live! Like from Nidarosdomen, HAIK or Nobel Peace Price consert 2015.

I cried with you too lol. One of emotional ppl here, being judged. But it is our essence. 💓 AURORA's music really helps me growing a lot as a person who accept myself.

"Running with the wolves" was used later as a soundtrack to "Wolfwalkers", an animated film which kinda reminds me of "Princess Mononoke". YOUR SENSITIVITY IS BEAUTIFUL

This album is easily one of my favorites especially in terms of lyrics because it's crazy to think that she wrote most of these when she was a young girl (and her voice is just so sooooothing 😫😫) I'm kinda sad you didn't react to Murder Song acoustic because it hits differently but I still love your reaction ❤ Also you gotta react to her next projects Step 1 and Step 2, both feels more like a fairy tale and I believe you're going to love them!

I love seeing people getting to know Aurora... your life has changed now. You just entered the Aurora rabbit hole-and you won't be able to leave it... never... ever...

i'd love for you to react to some of her live performances/acoustics! she's truly unreal.

thank you for this amazing video! Warrior was the 1st Aurora song i've ever heard and seen in a video. cried my eyes out.

It's so funny that you said she reminds you of Princess Mononoke. The first time I saw the video for The Seed, I realized she was LITERALLY the physical embodiment of Princess Mononoke. The face paint, the hair, her clothes. Aurora is actually a huge Studio Ghibli fan. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that her style was inspired by the movie when she moved into the Step I & II era.

Hi guyyyssss how are you tonight??

i went at her concert when she came to brazil in 2017 and i can’t even explain her energy and the feeling of listening to her voice and this album live 🥺

Thanks. You are wonderful. You shall love the next two even more. And one more coming this year.

I am loving your sensitive reaction. Would love to see more of you, obviously such an emotional person, reacting to more...and more....and more....and even more of this otherworldly angel...

Her voice is so angelic, like that of Weyes Blood

Lucky destroyed me when I first heard it years ago and it’s still one of my favorites of hers. I got to see her perform live a few years ago and it was so cathartic hearing it in person.

yay finally 🕺🕺 I love this album so much, it's crazy to think that she wrote most of the songs on it when she was a child

Love this reaction ❤️ please please please react to some of her live performances, it’s a whole other world and she EXCELS as a performer. she completely transports you to another world.

Allrighty, i am half way through now, after Through the eyes of a child. I totally agree with what you said there, beeing sensitive and emotional aware is not a bad thing, quite the opposite. Additionaly I am 43 now and am still keeping the child in me alive the best I can. I am still nerding out about my love for childish stuff like Avatar - The last Airbender, gaming, music. I talked about nightwish in my previous comment. I actually changed my mind about what songs to suggest to you, as I "got to know you a little more". I would now suggest Dead Boys Poem and Our decades in the sun. They will make you cry but as we established before, that is not a bad thing. I like that you are emotional and genuine. Gonna stick around and binge your previous vids.

OMG, I loved your reaction so much. You remembered me the power of listening to music and letting yourself and your emotions just flow. Thank you for that, I wish you the best! I would love to see the last albuns of Aurora, they are soooo good.

you need to watch videos of her performing her songs live!!! it's hypnotic

I've always thought I Went Too Far is one of her best songs, but I don't see a lot of people talking about it.

Omg you guys didnt even gave him a heads, up he cried every tears he held up.

I CANT WAIT for u to listen to the next two albums THEYRE SOOOO MYCH BETTER and this ones amazing already

Lovely reaction! Can't wait for your reaction to her next two albums. You got a pretty good sense of who she is, but you will definitely want to see some of her live performances after you're done with the studio recordings - it is a whole other level! I grew up in the '60s and '70s, with some absolutely great music, but I have not been as taken with an artist - ever - the way I have been taken with Aurora. Enjoy the journey!

I can not wait for the steps!!!!

Aww I teared up with you on ‘lucky’. I struggle with the things that you mentioned in your interpretation (depression, self harm etc) and wow I am blown away. I didn’t previously know many songs by AURORA so thank you for introducing me to such art.

I'm so glad I stuck around to the very last second! So shocked to hear you talk about an Owl City song, another one of my favourite artists. Loved your interpretations of the songs on this Aurora album. I would die for an Owl City album review!

I love auroras music .The emotions her songs give you are so beautiful they help you cry when you need to feel happy when you need it just all the emotions.❤️

Forever grateful that you shared your experience with this magnificent album, to see you respond with fascination, energy and love for the artistry is how I feel on each listen. Much respect for such pure heartfelt and beautifully spoken words, the moments with raw tears and delightful enjoyment, superb to see. Excellent job on editing, retaining the connection as you thoughtfully analyse each song and the overall journey. And this is just the beginning of discovery for a truly spectacularly talented musical genius. ✨❤️🙏🎼🦋🕊👏

imo you can really feel growth through her discography. happy to see such an exciting reaction from go!

It was so interesting reaction for a great artist 👌. And yes, Aurora is a master of emotions. if you would see her live she is very "in" song and can pass these emotions on listeners, she is very expressive = live performances are even more emotional than only sound (even if music alone can pass emotions)

What a wonderful reaction. Without music videos to guide your interpretations of the songs, it was interesting to hear what kind of imagery came into your mind while listening to the album. Some of your comments make me feel sure that you'll also enjoy her follow-up 2 part album (Infections of a Different Kind/A Different Kind of Human).

i love aurora so much i can’t even describe. her music just gets me on a level that is more than worss

Hiiii! So good to catch your premier. Its 2:30 am in India right now!! (where I live). Im gonna go listen to the whole album now.... I was listening to it with you for the first time!!

STEP 1 and STEP 2 are NEXT

Can't wait for you to listen to her next albums!!!

you defenitely need to give a listen to the accoustic version of Murder Song! it's so beautiful

I feel like Home is about depression, and how Aurora's barely hanging on. When she says, "we are not alive, we are surving everytime" shes saying how shes not living life, shes not thriving, shes not expierencing, shes just living and feels so unmotivated and lonely.

Your reactions bring me so much joy 🥲 Please don’t stop making these 🙏🏼💗

All Aurora has said about murder song is that it’s about tragic love. There is an interpretation that it is a man killing his terminally ill partner. Killing her for mercy.

You should check her live bro she ia amazing and better live.. AURORA live at KEXP 2018 is a must try

I had to subscribe after watching this reaction. I love seeing how her music makes you feel. I feel it so much too, every time. Cant wait for you to see her live. The combination of sound and vision is everything with Aurora. Enjoy❤️❤️

You should make a reaction video to Aurora- the river, epic song. I'm just supper happy more people are exposed and listen to Aurora :D

Aurora is a musical avatar and a gift for all of us. Love your reaction 💕stay safe from Norway

Ya, through the eyes of a child is something very special. I break and am fixed again everything I listen to it. It touches and heals a deep desire of the human soul…

Your energy is just GOLDEN!!! Bless you ✨❤️❤️❤️

Get ready for the next Album of Aurora Step 1 & 2

The album is so beautiful🥺💕, I just wish she had put all my demons the song in it, loved your reaction 💗

OMG YOU REACTED TO MY QUEEN (HAPPY BIRTHDAY AURORA BTW) AND RU-vid NEVER TOLD ME!!!!

She's a true artist!! 🙌🏻

Sooo.. What a cool video! I love Aurora anda loved hearing your interpretation of her songs. She gave me chills and i have cried and felt identified with her music... She did experience the death of someone she loved.. A very good friend of hers.. And i think thats why she writes and feels how she does.. I adore her. She teaches us to be super vulnerable.. The most beautiful!

Her live performances are so amazing you have to watch them, especially her performances at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in 2015.

Fun fact: 'Running with the wolves' was featured in a movie called 'wolfwalkers', it was a beautiful movie with a unique art style, the song basically described the movie. Definitely check it out if you have the time!

I love the honesty of your emotions. It’s nice to see other people being moved by beautiful music.

I remember watching season 4 of wolfblood in 2016 and immediately falling in love with auroras voice (they used "running with the wolves" as the theme song) and putting her songs in my playlist. Wolfblood was one of my favourite shows as a child and even if I've grown older I was still watching the new seasons when they came out. And while I didn't like the change of settings (if someone's watched till S4 they'll understand) the song saved it for me.

You will love the Nidarosdomen concert.... If you don't react to it is fine, but you must see it... It has an insane version of "Lucky" and Through the eyes of a child (and others!). I have seen this concert 50 times, and I still gets chills... Murder Song: Aurora, male backupvocalist with guitar, on the Nobel Peace Prize concert 2015 in front of thousends in the crowd, and up to 350 mill people in 100 countries.. She was terrified but gave a mindblowingly good concert (3 songs).

I cry with you

hi luscent! loved your reaction. i've been a fan of hers for some years now and it always brings me immense joy to see how her music touches other people. you are a beautiful person inside out and i hope you check out rest of her music ❤️ also fun fact: i think Aurora mentions in an interview that the song Conquerer is about finding the conquerer within yourself. knowing that you are your own saviour!

I love how emotional you get listening to her. I only recently discovered her and I find her to be so amazing and her lyrics are so deep.

great react! hope you'll do the others. thx!

Aurora recorded «Half the world away» in 2015 for the John Lewis Christmas commercial that year ☺️. Please react to more Aurora songs 🥰

“Running with the wolf” was used in the “Teen Woolf “series. New version is used in the movie Molfwalkers 2020

Listen to Under Stars and Exist for Love. You will cry as well when you listen to them believe me 😭 every time Exist for Love starts playing I know shit is about to go down

Her Step 1 and Step 2 albums are just wow. The growth from this album to those is AMAZING. Cant wait for you to listen to them!

Omg I got so emotional when you started to cry, and then I started to cry too, because all the things that you said you felt, I extra feel it 😭 Love your energy so much ❤

She startet giving out music when she was 15-16, but she has written songs much longer.. in fact, no one in her family knew that she wrote music, or that she could sing. So one day her mother heard her, and she said that Aurora had to get the music out. In fact Aurora wasn’t that keen, but then she changed her mind. I don’t remember exactly, it’s so long ago😅 I love Aurora, and you should see when she sang in the Nobel price Consert in 2015, she was 18-19 years then😊

I cried with u, just so beautiful 🥺❤️

I just laughed and cryed a lot with you throughout the whole video, and it was amazing, I felt very embraced when you talked about dealing with being an emotional person because I'm one as well and sometimes it's very hard to deal other people's expectations, isn't it? People should let us be crybabies and go on with their lives hahahah Much love from Brazil ♥

I've always taken the we are home message as a criticism of the destruction of the planet and this idea of looking to other planets for expansion rather than protecting Earth and realising that it's our homeworld and should be more important to us than anything else.

Under the Water is such an unappreciated gem 😪 it's honestly my favorite

you just found heaven in one of the three best peaces of art that i love so so much.
