To the war paint in Aurora's face. That actually has meaning. Not only for the song but in general. Under the eye stands for tears and laterally from the eye for smile. Showing the inner emotions to the outside.
The whispering in the bridge: In a place where nothing matters dancing around a shooting star And every cell remembers What have taken us this far I see images of killer whales sleeping in a desert trail Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts Poetry on a high level!
There is an artist by the name of Billie eilish that said she actually decided to become an artist when she watch the video for Runaway by Aurora. Aurora responded that she was glad that she could plant the seed.
You can’t really go wrong with an Aurora song. You’re the first reaction I’ve seen to mention the whispering behind the music in this song. Very cool. You’re my favorite reactor to watch. Great video.
She is the One of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever had The chance to be introduced too!! An awesome person who loves this world and everyone in it!! And she is unbelievably talented!
To see Aurora in her element you must be acquainted with her through the HAIK documentary and the final concert. It is set in a forest she played in as a child… she would get lost a lot in it. I believe the nature spirits communed with her here. She could not be more in her true element. ☺️
@@larryshair It is really better if you look at documentation and concert together and do not look at anything from the Haik concert individually beforehand. Especially for "the seed", you need the context to the documentation to understand Aurora's reactions to certain events in the songs. Otherwise, you lack the extra emotional power for what happens there. This is both together with subtitles. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_uW-0HDWoc.html
Larry, paused at 3:22, just a comment before even see your reaction. Lots of comments about the HAIK. Haik is a Norwegian spelling, in an audio script way, of the english word hike, as in hitch hiking, to catch a ride. In this context, HAIK is a tv series celebrating our most known and influential artists. The concept is to take the artist on a ride for a day of pleasant surprises and then arrange a concert with the artist, and some of their most eager fans, them not knowing where, with whom. Great series.
The whisper part “In the place that’s nothing matters, dancing around shooting stars . My every cells remember what have taken us this far. I saw images of killer whales sleeping on the desert trail . Dreaming of parallel world where nothings ever hurt X2 “
Aurora calling her warriors to action. Aurora is dressed like a character from one of the sci fi / fantasy novels she likes to read. In her studio work the vocals, including layering like the whispering, are all Aurora, whereas other artists are involved when she performs live. My suggestion for you is to react to “I went too far” live on the Honda stage.
Aurora is the architect of all her music and the videos. She really is quite amazing. Oh and good luck steering clear of anything political, she is quite outspoken about her causes such as the environment, BLM and LGBTQ (she identifies as bi-sexual). Honestly these are just human issues and politicizing them makes no sense - we should be arguing about the best way to achieve these goals not whether they are valid goals or not.
I second that. If I were you, I would do a double reaction: that version, followed by the acoustic one: 1) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nJLuG8c11Gk.html (live @ KEXP) 2) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o58hKXhQLtA.html (acoustic live @ The Current Studio)
I ask that you challenge the antiquated "lessons" that has been taught for centuries; that it's NOT ok to cry by checking out the song "The River" The official video parallels the song in the most wonderful way. I enjoy seeing your journey into the "rabbit hole", thanks for your thoughts and feelings.
Hi, thank you so much for another great Aurora reaction video and a happy national rabbit day. I really enjoy to be a part of your Aurora journey. Aurora is my favorite female artist. Maybe you would like to take a look at my favorite male artist too. His name is Hua Chenyu and he is a chinese artist, singer, composer. He is very versatile and as Aurora he has always deep meanings within his songs and is amazing in conveying emotions through his voice and music, he also started at a very young age and also was never seeking for fame. Hua Chenyu once said: " When you listen to my music, in the very, very deep and tiny corners of your heart, if I can light it up a little bit, it´s more than enough for me". Many reactors are starting with his Singer 2018 performances which per se rules are mostly cover songs (he rearranged in amazing ways). Best covers are Fake Monk (stunning art performance), Child (angelic Hua Hua),, Nunchucks ( you will see how versatile he is). His own compositions in Singer 2018 are I don´t care (rock song) and Qi Tian ( Theme song for the movie WuKong about the monkey king/ genre rock/rap). All songs from his latest album New World are stunning as well. He has a trilogy about mental health (I really want to love this world/Madhouse/Converstions with martian children) and two songs about the environment Sacred tree/Arrival ( which are representing Destruction/Rebirth)....... and so much more. Looking forward to more of your Aurora videos and would be very happy if you give HuaHua a try. You can find all his performances with eng subs on different fan channels here on youtube. I try to give some links below.

Hua Chenyu said : Actually, each song I sang in Singer2018 reflects a different mountain in the uphill battle of personal growth. "Qi Tian" => My arrival; "Child" => My childhood; "Nunchucks" => My arrogance; "I Don't Care" => My apathy; "Flammable and Explosive" => The world's conflicting expectations of me; "Wayfarer" => My disappointment after opening up to the world; "Fake Monk" => My inner struggle and salvation; "Ordinary Path" => Clenching my teeth to face myself; "I Am What I Am" => Finding myself. The last song after I have scaled to the mountaintop is "Shout" => surpassing myself.
"suffocate me.... so the flowers can grow again". We surtenly have to sacrifice something to save our environment for the generations to come. This planet will survive, but will our species? The rule of nature can be hard... And I say this as an ecologist! 😏
There is one artist that own one of Aurora’s song. Please react to Hua Chen Yu to see how versatile he is. I encounter Aurora through Hua Chen Yu. Maybe you can encounter HCY through Aurora. 🌸🌸
She’s asking us to be warriors for Mother Earth. I cry every time I see this video and I thank the whoever that we have youth like that. Makes me wanna go out in the streets and shout! Thank you for reacting to this magical Tinkerbell❤️❤️❤️
Aurora is at COP the environment meeting in Scotland this week , i expect she will be singing this as there is a concert afterwards with a variety of artists. I was so close to buying a ticket and expect to regret not doing so.
She literally takes my breath away. I appreciate your great, genuine reaction, thank you. For something a little different, please react to Exist For Love. It's exquisite
Aurora is profoundly shamanistic in this piece with the spirits speaking through her. This dance would have been right at home around a nordic ceremonial fire 2000 years ago.
Her face paint are smile lines and tear lines to symbolize people showing their emotions freely, she is very excited to get her smile lines as soon as possible
I watched one video that equated Aurora to a Shaman...and I think they nailed it. Her ability to deliver a message through music and dance is extraordinary. She has quite a few songs that lean into that tribal feel.
Very helpful to always pull up lyrics. They are all important. And no, she isn't shy, she is just introverted. As for suggestions, I would suggest "The River" live at Haik or "Warrior" live at Haik, The makeup marks represent wearing your emotions on the outside (tears and laugh lines)
Great reaction as always. I'm an old (ish) guy and was pretty much stuck listening to classic rock and not much else. I saw a short video on RU-vid with Aurora explaining her vocal bacing part in the movie "Frozen" with the song "into the unknown". I searched more and found a whole new world of her music, live concerts and her humour. She is a true talent with a great stage performance whatever stage she's on. She has the energy to light up a city with her dancing while singing "pitch perfect". Not a lot of artists can sing and dance at the same time. Thank you for the reaction and thank you Aurora for sharing your music and for opening the eyes of this old guy.
The Concert at the end of HIAK is in the woods near her home town of Bergen like where she used to go to as a child to be alone with nature. The entire day was a surprise to her. She didn't even know she would perform there when she woke up. She touches slightly on political issues (environmental, LGBT, etc) but I honor her undeniable love for nature. If I had a suggestion for another artist it would be another young Norwegian music prodigy Angelina Jordan. She is definitely a reaction favorite. Thanks again for sharing your journey of discovery.
@Danny A little correction: The HAIK concert did not happen in Bergen, but near the ruins of the monastery of Lysekloster, around 1 hour south of Bergen. AURORA did not play there as a child, because she lived several kilometers south-west from this place. But the forest near her home is very similar to the place of the concert.
It' my all time favourite mv. I love the message, it's strong and powerful and her voice is just amazing ❤ i'd say pause as much as you like to get all the little details ;)
Nice reaction! This video came out in 2019, she was 22 at that time. I think the first time she played this song live was 28. February 2018 at Melkweg in Amsterdam. She played it live at Lollapalooza in Brazil in March 2018, an outstanding live version of this song. She must have written this song when she was 20 or 21. She has done a lot of different live versions of this song, alone or togheter with Silja and the band.
Aurora is an incredible dancer. Her fluid movements are so natural and spontaneous. Her body is music. Always watch her video's first to get the full meanings, then watch he live performances. Her shows are incredible. Brazil 2018 is a must watch.
Please react next to Hua Chenyu, one of the top Chinese artists, his song I Really Want to Love this World at his 2019 Haikou Concert, you can find the video on the channel Hua Chenyu For World, thank you so much! 💖🌸🌸
Aurora's age only shows how long she's been living on earth...her soul feels ancient. I hope you also check out Hua Chenyu who many of us feel is closely matched with her. He is a rock star on the stage but rather shy away from the stage and also feels like a very old soul. His music is very diverse and deep. I hope you check him out.
Wonderful reaction! I've heard this song a thousand times but I still get emotional every time I see the video, it's so powerful. So lovely to watch you falling in love with Aurora's music, like so many of us have 💜
YEAP, the SEED is deffo one of my ABSOLUTE FAV's from AURoRA. Hands down.... it's amazing! Welcome as a fantastic Warrior & Weirdo ;) She was 22 when she wrote and produced this song.
Hello! As Hua Chenyu fans, we have been requesting reactions to this awesome Chinese artist, he's very close to Aurora in the way he expresses himself in his art, he even bought a song from Aurora a few years ago. Would you please react to his song Child in the Singer 2018 show, thanks!
This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I can recommend this epic song: Wardruna +Aurora with the song Helvegen. Look for the live indoors version.
Just a fun side note: She says her face markings symbolize something. The ones under the eyes represent tears and the ones on each side represent the wrinkles you get when you smile or laugh. Also, unsurprisingly, she test extremely high on the Mensa IQ test.
Song recommendation for random drawing: Angelina Jordan - I put a spell on you (black and white version) . And thanks for this awesome reaction. This song is amazing, the Haik concert version is incredible. (Yes, that concert is in a forest, as part of a TV show where they took her to the Forest to hold the concert (she didn't know where), that is right by where she grew up and spent a lot of time in as a kid.
@@larryshair I`ve been meaning to recomand Angelina to you as well, but I`ve held back. Angelina is quite a rabbithole by herself, quite different to Aurora though. What they have in common; - born in Norway Aurora june 1996, Angelina january 2006. - starting from a very young age. Aurora by writing lyrics and music. Angelina by singing and writing. (Published her book "Mellom to hjerter" meaning Between two hearts, when she was 9. Illustrated by her painting and poet artist grandma Mery Zamani, born in Iran. Youngest published author ever in Norway. - extraordinary voices. Auroa as you know, completely her own style. Angelina rooted in classic jazz, but has evolved to be one of the most versatile artists at least I`ve heard. - complete studio albums: Aurora: - All My Demons Greeting Me as a friend - 2016 - Infections of a Different Kind - 2018 - A Different Kind of Human - 2019 (next album set to be released january 2022) Angelina: - It`s Magic Project of The Staff Band of the Norwegian Armed Forces marking their 200 years aniversary & Angelina Jordan - 2018
Super awesome reaction as usual!!! It’s great seeing your rabbit as you go down this rabbit hole lol. It really sucks that in U.S.A. the topic of the environment is political, it really shouldn’t be. You touched on some of the hallmarks of Aurora’s music: great storytelling, emotional, and excellent build up. She usually has great choruses as well. For a next reaction I’m gonna suggest Soulless Creatures live in Bergen 2020 (it’s the first and only time she did this song live, not counting time she sang it on a livestream). Once again I believe it’s about the environment where she sings as Mother Nature.
Good reaction again. You hit my favorit music video, it is so powerfull, an anthem for mother nature and what i like is that she is not ''preaching'' anything, just saying facts with trail of solution in those images, giving us the feeling that we can do something, she never says ''it's too late'' it's those or them fault'' just that wunderfull feeling of power true the music and lyrics that we have the power to fixe this. Environement and human right are deeply important for her, she doesn't speak that much about it, she make songs and act. I just love her. For the next song: churchyard, you'll see an other Aurora :-)
You cannot eat money Oh no powerful message alarm went off, it's time to do something for our planet, actually it's not ours, we were put here to experience Life, we do not own the place and we're not alone, there are other beings sharing this wonderful opportunity(?), let's see what NaturalSelecton has for our ridicously proud and selfish Human Species.......sweet n wise Aurora is the voice of our times, in every sense, open your hearts, open your minds Peace
Thanks again. For the next one I will definetly suggest - AURORA - Little Boy In The Grass | Mahogany Session. Talks about the 2011 massacre that happenend in Norway, unfortunetly 69 people died, including a friend of Aurora... It's a very special song for her, and for everyone that suffered from this.
If it was on her, the world would look a lot better! You have to see HAIK, and when this song pops up, you see even more energy coming from her.. she enjoys and takes the moment she is in.
She is also channeling. That is where the disbelief in how she can grasp concepts and emotion for something beyond her physical years comes from. Lovely to see someone take it all in. Give your rabbit a pet and plant a tree. She would approve. Lol.
I think she said we learn and forgive. She was 22years old on that video. The seed so flawless and I love everything on it. Her new album is out the God we can touch. ❣️🌿💚
Loving the journey 😊👍 You have much to look forward to, both in new songs you have'nt heard, and other versions of songs you have heard. Some of her live performances differ a lot from the album versions.
There are another musicvideo that she made that are so adorable, totally different from everything else she has made. It is called exist for love and is really beautiful.
I discovered Aurora a few months ago. What an amazing artist. You should react to Nina June, "When We Fall" and Celine Cairo, "Found a Light" or "Pirouettes". Not quite as intense as Aurora but also very talented artists.
Another great one! Aurora's message on the environment is so inspiring. As opposed to the doom and gloom way of looking at it, she sees it as an amazing opportunity. We can be the ones to save our planet. What higher calling could there be?
Love your reaction. I was dumbfounded when I first seen this and watched it like 50 times in a row. Powerful song and powerful visuals. I see a lot of requests for “Churchyard” from KEXP which is an amazing song (also a great concert) and “Churchyard” and “It Happened Quiet” are linked because they are both related to domestic violence, or a bully situation, where the abused comes back in the end to haunt. “Churchyard” is a very upbeat song with an incredibly deep meaning. When you do get to “Churchyard” it helps to know it’s the European equivalent of a graveyard. “Infections of a Different Kind” at HAIK (pronounced like ‘hike’) is hauntingly beautiful (and I say that about a lot of her songs but this one hit me differently). Whichever direction you go with Aurora you can’t go wrong 😊
Watch the whole HAIK consert and suprise NRK made for Aurora local here in Norway. It's Aurora righting and Producing all her stuff.. Also plays Instruments....
Another Great reaction, I really enjoy seeing people who are new to Aurora experience her for the first time and see just how Awesome she is. You should do her song Churchyard (Live on KEXP) it is one of my favorite performances of her, she is full of energy in this one and my absolute favorite one is Aurora - All Is Soft Inside (Live on KEXP)here is the links if you like.Keep up the Great Reactions.😁👍 Churchyard (Live on KEXP)- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nJLuG8c11Gk.html All Is Soft Inside (Live on KEXP)- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IS2iVcGz_Ok.html
Enyoing your reaction again! I discovered AURORA two years ago, and i can´t remember an artist that has so much impact to me... and i listen to a lot of music in the last fourty years! But don´t think AURORA is a shy person, she is just intovert. It helps me a lot to understand this young woman ( if it´s possible ) to watch her documentries and listen to her sirious interviews when there is no camara in front of her. This girl worked so hard to spray her message... and i don´t think it´s a political one. She just cares about to be human in every single aspect of our life! And as you say; the look in the mirror... It´s very importend not to put the finger on another person, it´s important to reflekting your own life, and change it when it goes wrong for yourself! We all want the best for our children, but we are distroying their future! Just take a look what´s going on in the world; i think the world needs more people like AURORA and her warriors! Keep going on with your journey, and spray AURORAs message! Thanks...
Really enjoying watching you discover Aurora :) I would love for you to listen to an absolute favourite artist of mine, Tori Amos. I recommend starting with her 1991 debut Little Earthquakes. An incredibly gifted musician and songwriter from the age of two, I think you'll find her songs not only amazing but also her lyrics and metaphores are an entire world to dive into just like Aurora. :) Hope you get a chance to listen to at least some of her work, track I'd highly suggest listening to first would be Silent all these years. :)
So if you do plan on watching the whole HAIK documentary--- which I highly recommend, then you should take the time to react to her live performance at Kexp of "All is soft inside". It helps to contextualize a moment in the documentary that you might not appreciate as much without knowing that song first.
International Rabbit day!!! So sweet. It is most interesting to actually compare the Haik performance to the video. What she does with vocals and a limited crew compared to the produced video shows she can be amazing both ways - building to the final drop with her vocals is heart-rending.. Pause all you want, it is only fair use when there is significant input. If anyone thinks that climate change and the threat to the well-being of the youth is a political issue, then please re-evaluate your direction. Aurora is not a political figure. In that vein, there are a few older reactors who put their religious thinking on top of her pure message. That's why I feel that Queendom is the acid test. Also, I feel that a google search that shows her age vs song output is almost essential to seeing her agelessness and yet emotional growth. Don't be afraid of doing that.
Welcome to the world of Worriors and Weirdos, it's so easy to get hooked on Aurora, her concerts are amazing and so are her music videos, glad you did The Seed, hope you can get to the others I mentioned in your last reaction video. I certainly don't mind you keep pausing and saying what you think, you do a great reaction and goes to show you actually listen to her and the lyrics, which some reactors don't do. Love your rabbit I used to have two a long time ago though.
