AURORA - Through The Eyes Of a Child (Live at Nidarosdomen) 

This song is hard to sing because is so emotional even to her.

Imo Aurora's most beautiful trait is that there's no fear in her voice. Hearing her singing is exactly like hearing Nature; trees being blown by the wind, running rivers crashing into rocks, etc.

just finished a concert featuring Aurora in Sky: Children of the Light It brought me to tears, I loved every one of her songs

Goosebumps whenever i hear this song/version. She's kinda divine being.

This woman is a world treasure.

"Please don't leave me here." if purity and innocence are gone, what else is there to preserve and protect?

cant believe this song is 4 years old, or maybe 5, 15 year old me found her and now im 20 and still cant stop crying to it

I carry this song close to my heart ..it was the first one that brought me into tears and still does😢😍

1:29 my skin crawls deliciously up and down my spine.

This song will always touch our inner child. It was meant to. If it is hurting, if it is happy, if it is alone. Thus the line, please don't leave me here. Please don't forget your inner child. You were once one. Even though we're older now, it seems like it was better to just be a child.. for one more time.

when I have kids this will be their lullaby

The live version of this song really hits differently. One of the few songs I have ever heard that can move me to tears, I am so happy Aurora is alive, and sharing her gift to the world. She is such a wonderful human being, and I think I will love her and her music all my life.

“Through the Eyes of a Child” (2016) reflects Norwegian singer-songwriter AURORA’s* (her stage name is stylized in all caps) core philosophy. She explained : “That song is about how I’d rather see the world through the eyes of a child because everything is a bit better. I care a lot about people’s inner child and I am very determined to NEVER LOSE MY INNER CHILD. I get why we need all these layers to survive. It is a very tough world and I think sometimes we forget that child, sometimes we lose it and I think that’s a bad thing.” 💙🎶💚 * Her birth name is Aurora Aksnes.

humanity doesnt deserve a soul, and a voice so pure

The world is covered by our trails Scars we cover up with paint Watch them preach in sour lies I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child Through the eyes of a child... Darker times will come and go Times you need to see her smile And mothers hearts are warm and mild I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child Through the skin of a child... When a human strokes your skin That is when you let them in Let them in before they go I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul With a childlike soul... Hey oh, oh hey Oh hey Ah-ah hey Oh hey Hey oh, oh hey Oh hey Ah-ah hey Oh hey Please don't leave me here

_"Life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way through the eyes of a child"_ - Michael McDonald

I love one of her interviews where she says to drop children off in the forest, and leave them there.

I just can't! I thought the stripped down version was the one to move me the most until I watched this performance for the first time. Man, if we had that kind of music and message in church when we were children, we wouldn't be crying rivers now as this beautiful song touches and wrings out "the pain we have soaked ourselves in". Yes, her music is magical, going right to the very soul.

This song ... Auroras and my favorite! Something happen in my soul each time i hear this masterpiece!

A face as beautiful as the moon, a voice as beautiful as the sound of the sea❤🦋✨️

My cat fell asleep to her music

Her art is meant to be universal.

In these dark times, this song touches me even more than before.

This song changed my life. Thanks Aurora for making me feel I’m not alone love you

Who cares about area 51 and they're aliens , we just found a singing angel

Please don't tell me I'm the only one crying right now

Excuse, me while I wipe my tears away. Pure 100% human angel goddess...

What an angelic soul covered up in a angelic person

I don't know why, but I always cry when I listen to this song. Just literally every time. So powerful and emotional. And so beautiful

This is like a lullaby.. Her music touched my heart... I feel life when I listen to her

so pure

The acoustics in that cathedral are incredible, and are perfect for this song. There's something about Aurora's voice that just hits you. Amazing.

I don't get how she makes it through this song without crying 😭😭😭😭

What??? That voice can’t exist... *So beautiful* como descobri só agora??? ❤️🇧🇷

when heaven doors open ...

I could just fall in to those wonderful eyes

There's no possible way to love this more than I do. Chills every single time I listen to it

Aurora's performance here is mesmerizing and spiritual!

Auroras vocals are one of a kind I don’t think anyone has a voice quote like hers!

I come back here everytime I need to connect with my inner child again... It still makes me cry a lot.

Makes me think that people are born for a purpose. Aurora is a gift. She uses it well. I feel grateful that someone such as her is lucky to have been preserved to reach her destiny. I think about so many other gifted individuals who do not reach their full potential due to drugs etc… Aurora makes me ponder how precious people are and need to be preserved for greatness

It's a plain masterpiece. Love Norway, it's culture, and all that unique music style that sprouts right in front of our eyes. P.S. Sigrid brought me here.

There is none other on the face of Gaia that touches my Heart as you do,Beloved Child .Your Spirit speaks to my being in ways I cant put into words . The child I AM is always with thee .I Love You ,Sweet Aurora .My Heart is yours .Peace and Joy be unto you always .

I have apparently evolved from tearing up every time I hear this song to simply trying to catch my breath…with occasional relapses.

It's said that tears can replenish the soul just as rain does the Earth... Aurora is a RAINMAKER.. 🥲

The last ten seconds are really special...and her body language after the performance, innocent and appealing.

Man... i wish i discovered AURORA earlier and saw this performance. I watched the entire video of it and what an emotional ride it was. It would be amazing to see her perform live in another cathedral like this.

The best time to hear this is when the weight of the world is crushing you, this song helps you reach back in time, into your own past and reclaim some of it, the good parts, and not for nostalgia it's for you to grow further. We are the eternal golden braid.

hearing her sing is a unique pleasure for my ears but especially for my soul. Aurora seems to heal whatever I have inside.

I was stressed when I found this version and it just faded away it's eerily beautiful tone just put me to sleep 😴 I think it's the sweetest way I've ever heard a mother encourage her child to share something with the world ❤

When truth and beauty are put to song, this is what happens....undeniable humanity.

It’s so calming

im crying omg my angel i feel so alive

This woman make me cry every time I hear her! So sweet and pure!

I look at this song in a different light, Think of a person that has lived their life and is looking back at all the experiences they have gone through in life, they are now coming to the end of theirs and with friends and family all passed/passing they are saying, its time to go. "Please dont leave me here", let me come with you.

Aurora carries herself with the grace of a leader not from guidance but mere mentality... her wisdom beyond ages, her voice beyond angels and her indelible awkwardness are immeasurably encouraging. Every one of her lyrics hits with a fervent passion allowing peace to be felt under any circumstance. Always uplifting.

Masterpiece. Aurora with her band, TrondheimSolistene, Oslo Fagottkor, organist Petra Bjørkhaug and harpist Ruth Potter. You are a musical genius and a genuin goodhearted person, Aurora.

I can’t describe how pure this is. She literally taps into a primordial essence and channels it through her body, as natural as it is for us to breathe, for water to flow, for plants to reach for light. Ethereal isn’t enough of a word to describe this. At 3:41 she literally has to hold on to the stand as she releases one of the most beautiful things I’ve genuinely ever heard. She trembles cause she has let go at this point and is just letting it flow through her. I am beyond glad that I was born at a time where I could not only discover her but to live at the same time she did is an honor.

Aurora taps into a place of pure emotion during her performances. You can see she feeds off of the audiences energy. Her performances live are superior to anything in the studio, imo Definitely one the best vocalist in music history.

idk why, But in the first 40 seconds I already had tears

This blew me away its like a peice of heaven fell on earth

I cried, it feels so sad and beautiful at the same time 🥹❤️

I'm sitting here giving plasma balling my eyes out. Her voice and presence just brings out my emotional side.

I'm glad reaction made me find this angel

I cried. Beauty.

Never has a song touched me to my core like this one, Thank you Aurora.

The sky maybe sounds like this :')

The gestures is just the music spilling over.

Who ooh... All my emotions surely greets me as a friend... This is epic.

I can’t even move at the moment after hearing this. It’s so otherworldly and so exquisite. Aurora, you are from another time altogether

Arghhhhh...her voice!!!!

June . 22 . 2021. I’ve been a fan of Aurora for almost 3 years, today i just click this video unintentionally and i’m in emotions now. The feeling i get exactly like the very first time when i heard this song 2 years ago, this emotion is really hard to express but i can tell you that she put all her soul into this song and nailed it perfectly, her soft voice, her breathe, the moment when she did the vocal lines as she brings me to heaven. She is getting famous and well-known at the current time, but i hope she will always keep this energy, this soul and voice. And few weeks ago i heard that her backing singer (Silja Sol) was lefting the band. All i can say is wish you (Silja) would be success on your own new adventure and be known as a independent singer.

I am fully confident that there is not a soul on this planet who dislikes Aurora. She is the greatest human ever

POV you discover aurora through cure for me 🎉 and this is the next song you listen to 🫀

My heart, my soul, my entire being connects with this song

Her voice is like rock music for the spirit. ❤

This song is what got me into Aurora. Nearly 2 years ago. She's just so pure and adorable. - A fan from the UK

I always burst into tears 😩

Lullaby for grown ups 💟

this is so beautiful i don’t even now what to say it’s like if it goes beyond your ears it touches your soul, it makes me cry, she makes me cry. She’s angelic i can’t believe she’s a human, Luna Lovegood from hp got the same energy as her, anyway i just love the way she’s so natural and wow. She got a powerful voice and she’s just wow, i can’t even describe her i want her to hug me she feels like a medecine, anyway she’s gorgeous.

Listening to her songs, is like looking up the aurora in the sky. 😍

She’s an Angel from heaven

That building is beautiful

Speechless - no words - just music and voice.

This song makes me feel home, it gives me chilhood memories that I don't even knew I had, I don't know how to explain that, I Just see beautiful things and feel alive ❤

perhaps Aurora's greatest performance! your dress and make-up look amazing!!

World is covered by our trails Scars we cover up with paint Watch them preach in sour lies I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child Through the eyes of a child Darker times will come and go Times you need to see her smile And mothers' hearts are warm and mild I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child Through the skin of a child When a human strokes your skin That is when you let them in Let them in before they go I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul With a childlike soul Hey-oh, oh, hey Oh, ay Ah-ah, hey Oh, ay Hey-oh, oh, hey Oh, ay Ah-ah, hey Oh, ay Please don't leave me here Sorry for posting the lyrics. This is for me. I want to internalize her words as i listen

Beautiful song & performance. It seems as if she sings the song in 2 different "first persons"-- child.aurora for the verses and adult.aurora for the chorus starting with "I would rather...". For example, the opening verse says 'World is covered by our trails. Scars we cover up with paint.", which is child.aurora's perspective , where her childhood was spent foraging new trails in the forest and adorably naively thinking that scars can be healed by covering them up with paint. Then adult.aurora says the chorus, "I would rather see the world through the eyes of a child." Also, adult.aurora at the end uses first person pronoun, "me", instead of "I", with "Please don't leave me here.", where adult.aurora yearns to go back to child.aurora's world. Amazing song!

How can this song not bring anyone to tears. 😭 Especially with this angel singing it.

Ich liebe ihre Musik.

So deep and beauty

This should have 100 million views

I'm so thankful...she stands up for us free spirit in the most astonishing way

Most wonderful song i've ever heard! I Always cry when i hear this song, even on her concert.

Each time I hear this song, I think about the world, the nature, when I was a child... I think how shitty it is now, and how even more shitty it will be when my nearly seven years old joyfull boy will be a grown up.... I fell so sorry for him than I could do no other thing than cry....

omg I cried at the end....so beautiful

Such raw emotion, you can tell this song it's so personal to her. "Don't you leave me here" breaks my heart... Anyway incredible performance, the choir, the harp, the church, all add to the magic of her voice.

1 dislike?...what?...why!...this is perfect!...

This performance, this song is pure perfection. I have literally watched it about 100 times now and I cry every time...it's not enough to listen, you have to watch her, her persona is so pure, captivating, angelic, childlike but full of wisdom and so inspiring! Just love her to bits

I cherish this song too much 😢 Every time I listen to it, makes me cry rivers. So powerful ✨
