DOUBLE REACTION TO AURORA - Everything Matters (ft. Pomme) & A Dangerous Thing 

Hey everyone, Hope you enjoyed these tracks as much had I did! I now understand Pomme was also singing in the French section at the end of Everything Matters. She was incredible, just wanted to highlight that. Hope everyone is well! Adam X

I can't think of a better description of being in a abusive relationship than "I keep on losing feathers". That is a genius line. It both alludes to loss of innocence (angel wings) both also a bird wasting away in a cage.

This was my first time hearing Pomme and her sound matches Aurora's so well

This Album is fabulous so far. She really can't do a bad song. So excited for this Album to come out.

I feel you forgot Pomme while listening. She is singing backing at the first part of Everything Matters and then it is Pomme that is singing the french part in the end of Everything matters with Aurora shifting to be the backer. I didn't know Pomme, but she has a great voice so I might go exploring.

I can't get enough of her, I loved this song! Aurora said that. "It's a very strange story [...] a story I would like for people out there to figure out themselves. I contacted a French artist, Pomme, to write the ending for me. And it is beautiful. Sensual. And real. I do often feel like this world is trying to make me focus on all these great miracles. And somehow I feel like it makes me miss out on the small ones. And that is sad. Because small miracles happen all the time. Sometimes several times a day. And I want to see all of them. Because everything matters."

Aurora's been very open about taking inspiration from Greek mythology for this upcoming album. So with that in mind, I think "Dangerous Thing" is an interpretation of the story of Icarus with the thought that the sun is a representation of the God, Apollo.

Aurora has done it again

My first interpretation of the lyric "I keep on loosing feathers" is, loosing freedom (loosing the ability to fly) and maybe also, loosing comfort, warmth and innocence..

Aurora was not singing in French. Pomme was singing in French. 😀 I totally agree. Aurora is not a "pop" singer. To me, she is closer to classical, even opera. But, of course, it is not that, either. She samples, as you said, whatever she needs to express what she wants us to understand, imbibe, and shine in our own uniqueness. 💖 Everything Matters reminds me of the teaching story with King Janaka and Ashtavakra. To make a long story much, much shorter, the King wanted to know - what is real, the waking state or the dream state? Because both seem completely real when they are happening. The answer was - who is the one who knows when you are dreaming and when you are awake? That witness is what is real. I truly feel that Aurora knows this and is urging us, through her exquisite music, to understand that for ourselves. We are so very, very much more than the 'sound and fury' of the outer play. She points us within, to the place where each of us is a vital part of Life. And in the second one, she completely nailed the seduction of short term pleasure at the great expense of our divinity. (The losing feathers). To me, it reminded me of "I Went Too Far". Don't we all, at some point or another in our lives?! She is truly a marvel how she sings the absolute gamut of our very human existence!! Yes, yes, as you said at the end, her music is to dive in and explore. And, imo, it just gets better! She recently said that she is already starting on her next album. Yowsa!! I so look forward to the rest of this one. I'm sure it will be a cohesive journey.

Loving this sound. Aurora always keeps pushing her art form and it’s incredible to watch. Your breakdown is on point Adam. Thanks man

Hi Adam... when I heard those songs first I was like: hmmmm, ok... not sure if I like them that much. Especially dangerous thing. But after I heard it again and again it is getting better and better. The lyrics are like a riddle. We have so many metaphors, so many interpretations. I can't wait to hear Aurora speaking about the songs, cause her approach is always surprisingly different...

Thank you for your reaction. Aurora and Askjell at the piano for Everything Matters, and I believe Aurora plays during the final section. And I think the instrument used to get the “to me, to me, to me, to me” effect is called a Vocoder? It can probably be achieved with other tools, as well. Aurora provided backing vocals for Pomme and vice versa for Aurora’s verses. :) A Dangerous Thing: That guitar, though! The song is possibly about being in a relationship with a narcissist. A lot of people are comparing A Dangerous Thing to her Rasputin cover, saying the structure is a bit similar, and that both give off subtle country/Dolly Parton/Jolene-vibes. Anyway, her (song) production and arrangements are getting more and more sophisticated, and both have always been terrific. P.S. It’s “sedusive,” as I’m sure you’ve heard on repeat listens. Aurora made up a new word. :) Not really, it’s been in the British English dictionary for a few years.

Pomme is the French singer🥰🤗it’s a collaboration

I really enjoyed your reaction! I love both tracks, but I gravitate towards EVERYTHING MATTERS -- the poetry is sublime! I noticed that for the section Pomme sings in French, she must have initially translated AURORA's words into French, then played around with those lyrics in French in order to bring in the proper rhyme scheme and stressed syllables, etc. This resulted in slightly different lyrics that add even further meaning to the song as a whole: The part of Everything Matters that Pomme sings in French, translated into English: Somewhere, before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world a bird falls asleep Without noise, you and I At night we will find Somewhere to place the flowers we picked Leave before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world a bird falls asleep Without noise, you and I At night we will find Somewhere to place the flowers we picked Leave before dawn When the light wants to see us Somewhere in the world a bird falls asleep Without noise, you and I At night we will find Somewhere to lay the flowers

I feel this is about self exploring and exposing the the dangerous thing in us all that is a pretender, liar, accuser and deceiver. To know our true Self, includes to expose what we are not.

I loved both songs, but, like you, A Dangerous Thing grabbed me right away. I love her new guitarist Fredrik Svabo. He's adding some really interesting twang to some of her music which is giving it a bit more meatyness than earlier albums. Her previous guitarist Fredrik Vogsborg was really good, but his style was different. A Dangerous Thing, honestly, with the melodies and the tambourine jangles, brought to mind an almost classic Fleetwood Mac sound. Aurora, Norwegian Stevie Nicks! Great reaction!

Is the greatest lyricist in modern history.

It is, as you would say, just a treat to the ears, and such a pleasent joy to listen to.

J'espere que cette chanson donne a Aurora des fans partout le monde qui parles francais. I'm sure the crowd here in Montreal will go bonkers when she sings this here during her tour date on May 31st. And I just read that Pomme lives part-time in Montreal and part-time in France, so hopefully she's onstage too that night. Might have to whip out my phone to film that.

both so beautiful, thank u 🥰 and thank u for saying you’ll return to artists - and new ones - in the community post ❤️

Please do a full album reaction when it's released! I think we're all here for that :)

Adam. Spot on. I pre-ordered the Album and as each single is released I am so excited. AURORA is an artist whom you can love just reading her lyrics. I gravitate to artists that can stand on their written words alone. Add her voice, her look, her growth as she travels her twenties. Her artistic expression tells me the future will be OK even in the darkness. The lyric "my inner heaven" is so amazing.

I get the country old western vibes in Midas touch too. 🦋

Everything Matters - for when your soul hurts and needs soothing. A dangerous thing - for togetherness at the Aurora concert, roll on March.

What a wonderful joy to listen to Aurora with Adam!

I can't wait for the album!!!!

Great reaction. I found out about her 2 weeks ago and I can't get enough. It's gotten to the point where her lyrics are stuck in my head 24/7 and watching her interviews which I never do for any celebrity even my favorite. Her music is just too good and I'm so excited to see her live in May.

Beautiful poetry once again from Aurora..Thank you for dissecting her new songs,Adam..Look at the bigger picture...of the whole world gifted with the music of Aurora...and a very on point and objective analysis from you.....

I would love to go back 20 years and here her sing once with Dolly Parton. Jolene. I' an not really country, but those two doing Jolene together OMG.

Pop, country, rock, rap..... You know what? I don't think that Aurora think about it.... I think the melody "style" will "automatic" be the "style" that best tells her story..... Does that make sense? I am unsure if I write in English what my Norwegian thoughts thinks... 😳 And how fun! We will never know what will come, other that it will pobably be briliant......!

thank you Adam! honestly this album, to me sounds like a glass of wine while a piano sounds on the back, i’m so excited about it! 💗

What a strong album its gonna be with the tracks already released =)

The base gave me Johnny Cash sound - vibe... perfection as usual :)

Yessss!👏👏👏 I was so looking forward to this, high expectations, but she really delivers 🥰 How is it possible for an artist to always make beautiful music 🎶 It’s Pomme that sings in french in the end👍 I love both songs ❤️

I am in love in Everything Matters and for me it is the best from upcoming album (so far :) ) and it is currently in my top favorites of Aurora. For me lyric it is like poetry and from the start I have my interpretation. Also I love Dangerous Thing (I see some country music influences there) and it is very very strong song but from the very start I preferred EM :). Also I think DT is more mainstream then EM and it will be more popular.

The Live on Modzik is the best version of this song. Just LOVE watching her sing. :) ❤️

The "losing feathers" lyrics reminds me of Icarus, losing feathers as the wax melted from the wings Daedalus had made. He ignores Daedalus's warnings and flew too close to the sun, and ultimately fell to his death.

Every song gets better, how is this possible 💖🎶🎶🎶🎶

Hello Adam. Great reaction again. And I completely agree with everything you said about these two songs. That Pomme also triggered my interest, so I'll go check out some more of her stuff. Aurora's made some interesting colabs before as you know. Have a great Sunday :-) Love from Norway.

Thanks for this amazing reaction Adam ❤️

I always enjoy your Aurora reactions Adam. Only 12 more days until album release! 🤩

Commenting before watching your vid....not something I normally do...but you have to check out more of Pomme. She's amazing.

Hope they Collab more!!

I think the loosing feathers line is an angle reference. The song starts out with saying the other person seems like an angle but is actually dangerous and I wonder if the loosing feathers line could mean that the pov person was like an angle but through this relationship is also turning into a dangerous thing under the surface. I think the song also fits really nice with I went too far narrative wise (musically they are very different).

This is so f****** smart musically. The way that Aurora just doesn't resolve things and keeps restarting them during the chorus just added so much to the feeling she was trying to convey. Like you were right there with her as she gives the abusive relationship another chance, only for it to repeat some more.

Great, thanks!

I am so in love with all her new songs and I can't wait for the new album. Also I really excited cause I got 2 tickets for her concert in Berlin at the end of February. Only thing that sucks is that I had hoped my best friend could come with me cause he loves Aurora too but sadly he doesn't have time and now I don't know who to take.

Magnifique! How good are these two songs, j'adore j'adore *happy squeal* 😍😍😍😍😍😍 Aurora just keeps on gifting us with her love and beauty and extraordinary talent. I can't get enough of A Dangerous Thing omg it's just too good right. Needs to be on the radio this is an absolute bop. Love it. Reminds me a bit of Miley's Nothing Breaks Like A Heart, definitely has a country pop flavour. So good.... so good! Great reaction Adam.

Thank you, Adam. What a great reaction. Lovely focus on the lyrics. And you are so right, her diversity is immense - the 5 songs released from the album are shockingly good, so different, but still so Aurora. One can only wonder what the other 10 may bring.

Aurora. Is she part angel? Amazing. Thanks Adam. Loved the contribution of Pomme and love the French😉 Both songs are great! 💞💞💞🇨🇦

Well worth a listen to Pomme as well. She has her own originality and its interesting that she s involved here.

This whole album bring me to another dimension ✨✨✨✨💕💕💕💕💕💕✨✨✨✨✨✨

Que reação incrível Adam! A Dangerous Thing é minha música favorita deste Álbum.

Adam, I just watched Grace Pettis performance 10/2/21 at Paste in Austin, TX. There is a list of at least 4 songs she performs. (On Utube) . New talent for me. I know you would love her style. Even if you listen off line .. she is special...

Always interesting to watch your reactions and your analysis of the lyrics. Love all her new songs and sooooooo looking forward to the rest of the songs on her new album!

Beautiful. ✨💜 One of my favs on the new album.

thanks, buddy! i adore these songs, and would like to see your initial reaction to the album 😁 nice use of the double reaction format….and cheers for the reply a few days ago. i hope you’ll enjoy those songs and artists when you get a chance to check them out. well, a couple you already know….but not _well enough_ 😉 speaking of folk and occasional country vibes: ‘music for people in trouble’ 👍🏼

Aurora surprises me and impresses me again... I don't understand why I am surprised? I should have known that she always does this 😂 The French bit.... I thought it was Pomme singing?

THANK YOU AURORA!!!

in constant progress this girl

Love this song!

I am so very happy that you play. The whole song and then comment 👍

And also… 21:15 - that would be interesting, we’ll see how things work out. As for other suggestions/unreleased songs, I hope you’ll sneak in a few before the album is released. You have a long list of songs, some are too risky (for instance Silent Violence - which has been taken down multiple times), others that have been around for a long while should be fine (All My Demons, Encrypted Love, We Were Going To Do That, etc.)

I couldn't agree agree with you more, sounds like dangerous thing could have been produced in Nashville.

Ahhhh me encanto amo tus reacciones

WOW!! Today the reviews of "The Gods We Can Touch" by Aurora hit Norwegian newspapers! And the reviews are overwhelming. 5 and 6 on the dice all over. Just to mention a few "Divine beauty from Aurora", "Everything falls into place" and so on. I get my signed vinyl tomorrow! Can not wait 🙂

I was thinking Daedalus and Icarus and the danger of the rising sun. Also reminded me a pinch of Dolly Parton. Loved both songs.

These lyrics capture stages of narcissistic abuse very well.

I wonder... I guess you have met many different kinds of fans now. Do we have other artists today with such a dedicated fanbase as The Warriors and Weirdos of Aurora? Great Reaction, Adam.

"I keep on losing feathers" makes me think of when a bird loses feathers when in distress. It actually took me immediately back to an abusive relationship I was in and when he moved in my bird started to lose feathers and passed away.

You took your time lol stay safe Adam.

I cannot wait for the albummmmm and we are so closeeeeee and aurora said that its her 3rd album as she thinks that the previous two are parted into two and so its the 2nd one also have you seen this that if you say her previous two albums together it stands as "infections of a different kind of human " which is so magical and interesting and intelligent she is a QUEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN

So you finally met her 🙂. Hope you talk a little about it in your futur reactions . Great reaction by the way👍

🍏 Pomme est une magnifique chanteuse. Elle a une voix et un univers incroyable. Moi je découvre Aurora ! Et j'adore ! J'ai découvert Dangerous Thing dans la voiture, en roulant, et j'ai eu la même réaction que vous. Un choc cette chanson ! (Je me souviens même de l'endroit où j'étais en voiture au moment où je l'ai entendu.. Un coup de foudre musical)

I think the feathers might be related to freedom. Like a bird needs it’s feathers to fly. Because of this abusive person, she’s losing more and more freedom?

Checked out some reactors, am I the only one that lovede Everything Matters?

To me now...the only matter is Aurora for me...thank you my Lady..

Listen to those layers! I think she did all the layers to Dangerous Things. Remember that’s what she loved about Enya. QUOTE ABOUT “A DANGEROUS THING” “A Dangerous Thing” leans on the notion of self-awareness within a realm that disguises a cold and abusive relationship as something actually warm and appealing. IN AN INTERVIEW AURORA SAID; “There's a lot of beauty in this world. And there's a lot of ugly. I was surprised to learn how often the ugly is disguised as beauty. How often poison is disguised as wine. And life disguised as death.And when we learn that what we thought was good for us, is in fact bad for us - even then we tend to go return to it. Because at least it's familiar. And all we ever dream about is home. Seductive, yet destructive. A dangerous thing indeed." Aurora and Pomme on Everything Matters ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ObAXM6vD6nU.html Pomme sings the seed, but later in the song, go to the end of the song where Pomme and Aurora sings a lyric of Everything Matters .

Aurora was noe singing in French. That’s singer and songwriter I Poome who is singing!

Please react to the live version of Everything Matters......it is Everything!!! I am obsessed!!

The songs I have heard from the LP TGWCT have been super nice and I look forward to hear track 8 - The Innocent - , we know that track 8 is always of great importance to Aurora!

Think I need to listen to some Aurora.

I actually lovede Everything Matters. Then again I grew up loving Kate Bush.

great reaction, Adam. I do think though, it is Pomme singing in the french part of the song. Not sure. but think so. I do love this song. It is one of her best.

Must say that I love both of these songs! About the country/western/folk feel...Aurora is a fan of Bob Dylan so could that have had some influence? Just my thought. And your reactions were again enjoyable! There are so many interesting points you brought up, should really have a pencil and paper to write them down in order to comment--- Hang on, I do have a computer...

Always waiting on the edge of my seat for your Aurora reactions 😋. It is “Pom” but her actual name is claire pomme Ty and pommet her last name is pronounced “Pomay” (the second way you said)

nice T-shirt

Every Song is centred around a Greek god... not sure if I can guess which ones for these two amazing songs.. Time will tell. :D

Finally

Just cant belive that you didnt live Everything Matters, its a piece of art.

hey Adam aurora dropped all the names of her songs for gods we can touch on a hoodie if you go to buy it then click on the picture to make it big then press the arrow to go across it says all the song names on the back

love it mate..but have to ask,,,,spike in the background..love it..big buffy fan :)

It was that Johnny Cash guitar sound.

One can't choose which people one find attractive. This is determined in childhood by experience. Usually by one parent. It is not for nothing that daughters, for example, choose their partners according to the example of their fathers. Not because they want it that way, but because it's programmed that way. If the father has abused them, there is a high probability that she will look attractive to this type of charakter later. They fall in love with these people, knowing that it is not good, but always hoping that it will get better. That's why it's so hard to get out of these mechanisms. One would oppose everything that has shaped you in childhood. This is the vicious circle that is difficult to break.

With the feather lyric maybe she’s talking about Icarus?

Who did the Backin vocal on Dangerous thing??

Loved the reaction. Thank you! Did you ever check out Kalandra? I'd love it if you could react to "Not a fairy tale". Greetings from Germany!

Here are Aurora and Pomme singing together on TikTok: youtu . be/mdIDIf8uGiU
