In 57 years I have never heard an artist who so consistantly touches my soul. I have tried many ways to describe that feeling ( but have always been left wanting ) I just call it the Aurora effect. Keep on enjoying the journey. Loving you reactions.
Same here... I know the reaction is long ago, but i just came here to hear her and see his reaction... this effect is to me like.... "she is singing out of me" not to me. This is how it feels to me. Her voice and compositions triggering mystical stuff of everyone... just whow. She is and must be a unichorn in human form. :)
This is what I often observe with the coolest guys and girls reacting to Aurora. The truth, honesty and magic within her art hás to affect you, it can' t be ignored. ❤
Aurora hits all of us. For me, the statement here is less the desire to be a child again and to be ignorant, but rather to remember the values you had back then. As a child, race, gender, and other things were not relevant to everyone. You were more open to other people and unreservedly nice to each other. At most you argued about toys or because you didn't want to go to bed in the evening. I think that's rather the point of the song.
I think you may be confusing ignorance with innocence. Children aren't ignorant. Ignorance is lack of awareness or deliberately denying the obvious. If childhood is ignorance, why do so many people look back on their childhood with fondness? We look back on the innocence. There are many things that we don't fully understand when we are children, that is not the same as being ignorant.
@@John-gv2ug He used the word ignorance in connection with childhood in the video. I just picked it up and said that it wasn't in my opinion. If then in connection with race, gender etc. than they are ignorant, what is positive. I think you might be the confused one here.
Agree. Or going back to the time in your life where you hadnt yet discovered how cruel the world is. From all the wrongs we do with nature, to all the wars around the world. How much hate there is in it. That is for me what the song is really about. Innocence, not knowing how bad everything is. Me, I personally hurt. I hurt seeing all the bad things. Thinking of all our wrongs. I worry. Worry that we will destroy each other. Our planet. This world needs healing.
Most of us have cried with this one, all of the versions, many of us many times … It's good for the soul to immerse in it and let it wash over you like a soothing balm …
this is why we play and listen to music from ALL artists, lands and cultures........Aurora just reaches in and touches your heart.......the transition to an a capella performance is stunning and the ending crushes your soul.......a beautiful hymn to innocence
As I previously said, MANY times, this is one of her songs that ALWAYS leaves me crying. The kinda scary thing is that she can touch something inside my being when she sings, and I can't place that something anytime else...she doesn't even needs words, her vocalisations speak to me, to a "me" that I lost contact with, and I really wish I didn't.
Quote from the Haik documentary: The song means a lot to me. I got into a bubble where all I saw was all the evil the world had to offer, to get it out of my system I wrote the song.... And what a song, I dare say it is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! Super reaction, thanks
Here you can watch the part of the HAIK-documentary when she is explaining the meaning of "Through the eyes of a child": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_uW-0HDWoc.html
Childhood is so precious and unreplaceable. Ever the worse then to think of those poore ones having it robbed away. Surely a piece of wonder this creation. True art.
Yea. I agree and Aurora is able to keep this childlike soul. It is not only about hate and adult problems, but to see beauty in simply things (and notice them) and be amazed and happy with it. And of course i am never bored with Aurora and always like to watch reaction about her:).
When I was 9 my mental health got very bad, I’m now 14 and diagnosed with bpd, ptsd, depression and ocd. I know I will never have a “proper “ childhood.. I just wish I could live for once. I also had anorexia but luckily I’m 100% recovered now!:)
This song is such a good reminder to try to delete and remove all the bullshit we have inside us. All the prejudice, all the negativity. This is the call of the phoenix, to be born again and look at life differently, with new eyes and see the magic of being and value life again. It's so easy to get stuck in a routine and thought patterns... thank you Aurora.
Told ya. I cried the first few times I heard it too man. She just does that to you. And this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I love a man that can show his emotions. Great reaction.
You’re a beautiful soul. Thank you for listening to Aurora. She is truly an angelic artist. She unconditionally loves and heals peoples spirt and soul.
I agree with you man. I would rather go back when I was a kid than to witness what's happening to the world today. I want to go back when I was still ignorant of all the hardships of life. Oh Aurora...this song got me too.
this artist and her voice along with her words have touched my soul and reached to the deepest parts of my sorrow, happiness and frustration like no other artist has. no song has put me to tears of sadness and almost making me want to cry out. I would listen to one last song by us the duo and Not even that song has reached out to me like this one has. Even if it makes me think about my lovely future with my partner and what is to come. I'm so thankful to be alive in the moments of this wonderful person who preaches such words.
I'm not hitting the dislike button on someone willing to open himself up on camera man. Great reaction. Hope you do Winter Bird and It happened Quiet... screw it, the rest of the songs from this concert as well. I'll be here for them all, i love this concert and i wish i knew about Aurora back then because i live 3 hours away from the venue. Ah well. I'll get a chance in August, though outside Nidarosdomen this time, not inside, but i'm betting it's going to be amazing :) Take care and stay safe.
As the heart fills, it needs to spill over, let it flow brother, nothing more cleansing, than a good cry, no shame, always welcome. Aurora is the perfect catalyst, to trigger, this heart reaction!
It is called the Aurora effect a calmness as you ascend to a higher plane of existence or she just puts a spell on you either way she's unique and magical and she gets you !!! Great reaction !!! 😥😢🤧🤯😎.
I don't know what that was.... But I love it...... There ya go......you finally put it into words my friend......and I agree.... I'm 6'3" tall and around 270 lbs, and this makes me cry 'every' time.... It's all good......
I keep tell people bro for the 100 time she’s the best singer/songwriter alive no debate tell me who’s writing songs like this worst her age Fam she my favorite artist in the women category…..♥️
the way you feel this song, the look of your eyes, i can see a lot of pain there, you must be a tough man, a tough man after through a lot of things in life, but deep inside you, you're tired and just want a rest, a peaceful break from the hardness of life. your tears is a prove that you have a gentle heart, I just wanna say it's never too old to keep our inner child alive no matter how small it is, and when we have that small piece inside us, it's like a remedy when something bad happened, because through the eyes of a child, we see everything simpler as it is. keep happy and healthy. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for your great reaction to this amazing performance 🙂❤️ This is the most beautiful song and performance I have ever seen 🥰🥰 I never get tired of it. You are one of my favorite reactors and I wish you a wonderful weekend 🙂❤️
I wonder how many rehearsals it took before her back-up chorus stopped bursting into tears while practicing the song. Maybe the sheer "terror" of the live performance saved them :D
Cool these supports you get from Aurora's performances and the the folks who listen to your reactions and commentaries, times and efforts mutually well spent.
The amazing thing about this song is the fact that the part without word is almost as long as the ''lyrics'' part, but cary as much emotion. And you know what? She is not ''that'' magical, (according to her) she's just saying thing that we all can feel, the magic is in everyone, she is just opening our doors and reveal ourself to us, that is her super power. And listening to you explaining how you feel since you becam a Warrior and Wirdo (the Aurora fan) her magic works on you too, reaveling yourself to yourself, without judging you, without expecting from you, just reconecting with you. Have a nice journey my friend.
I think the magic about Aurora is that she still have that childlike wonder. If we could see the world through the eyes of a child, even as an adult, then the world would be a better place.
Yup, you ain't wrong about the cathedral being very cool. All Norwegians are extremely proud of it. It stands in the town of Trondheim and it's 850 years old, built in the Gothic style. The west outside wall is covered with stone statues and is one of the most photographed spots in the whole of Norway. It's been ravaged by age and fire through the years but is still standing proud after multiple renovation efforts lasting several years. The building itself is so heavy that parts of it has sunk several feet into the ground over the centuries. This is most evident at a little side door that was built with a step down to the ground. That door is today a couple of steps down from ground level... It's certainly worthy of a visit if you ever come to Norway.
A superb reaction. This performance, in this setting is simply an artistic masterpiece. There are artists with huge contracts and multi millions of records sold who do not come anywhere near this very, very special young lady. When Aurora articulates her vision, she can break your heart, then produce a sweet smile that let's you know that everything will be alright in the end. Aurora answers her own question from "Daydreamer", "I know I'm just a girl but can I change lives?". The "I think I can" that she states in her lyrics is in fact a most emphatic "YES", which is resoundingly echoed in all the comments to the many videos posted by her and about her. Continue they journey and don't forget to watch some of the interviews.
In my interpretation, in the end where she sings please dont leave me here alone. I think she is talking about the inner child that still exist inside all of us. We have to reach inside and take care of our childlike soul and embrace who we are and who we where.
Aurora has always said that she believes your inner-child is one of the most important parts of yourself, and sadly so many people lose it. You should checkout Winterbird and Under Stars from the same concert!
Bless you, brother. It's truly a wonder how our tears express so many different feelings - from sorrow to happiness, from joy to sadness, but always with a hope and dream of better things to come and forgiveness for things already passed. When we finally learn how to live our lives with the heart of a child beating in our chests, we will be what we were meant to be. Thank goodness we have beautiful souls like Aurora to remind us of who we are.
The exquisite angel Aurora - totally enchanting and mesmerizing. Thank YOU Matt for reacting to this version of Through the Eyes of a Child which, in my opinion, is the best ..... I respect your comments and look forward to your reactions! ☮❤️ Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa
It has been ages since music affected me directly and so deeply. Aurora has that power and I let her affect me as often as possible. It is actually healing me.
I think the next song for you is The River... It's about it being ok to cry to be happy & healthy. Aurora are no strangers to tears when listening to Aurora. That's what she is here to remind us to do... FEEL! :)
Don't hold that shit back homie. If this song doesn't touch you right in the soul then you're missing some pieces I think. Aurora is as close to magic as music gets. This is sorcery
Its so beautifull and nerve toutching my god' I dont even know how to describe the emotions I felt during this masterpiece ' her angelic voice and her whole performance the true words in this song. This young lady knows how get peoples attention and let us listen ' and from what Ive seen so far with other songs" is my impression of Aurora that she wants the world to be a better place 🪷🫶
20 kr is nothing but it is hard times. What i wanted to say to you tho, is people like you make alot of us having a better day. Actually hearing from another human beeing, beeing human. Fck. I look at alot of music and I come back to a few of your reactions. Thank you🤘
I just discovered this reaction video... and I can only recommend to watch the whole concert, it's simply magical, from beginning to end. The true highlights though - besides THIS one here - are Lucky (another song with a powerful deep message, written by Aurora at the age of 9 years (!)) and It happened quiet... check these out especially, when you want to react to other single songs from this concert. Best wishes from a German Aurora fan : Gerry
Such a sweet reaction. I do not know where you live and it doesn't matter. In my mind when I watch your videos, you are a Cajun, from the area around New Orleans. It is your accent. Many times people from New York have the same accent. It is endearing. The folks in LA are some of the sweetest most humble people I have ever met. I guess that is why you come across that way. Continue making videos, they trap me from time to time.
