I've NEVER Listened to AURORA - WHO GAVE HER PERMISSION to be this ridiculously good?! 

Thank you for coming along! I hope you enjoyed the video 💙 let me know what you'd like to see next!

Billie Eilish told Vanity Fair: “When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video.Something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”

If you’re doing Aurora again, "Murder Song" (live from the nobel peace concert) is an absolute MUST! Also recommend her covers of "nature boy" and "life on mars". Great reaction as always!

If u ever decide to listen to more AURORA i recommend the songs: - through the eyes of a child - murder song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) ACOUSTIC VERSION they both are from her first album and have AMAZING vocals :) hope u like it!

Fun fact: she also sings in the end credits from a little game called sky children of the light

If I’m correct, she was the one who sang the iconic motif in into the unknown from frozen 2

Ive been listening to AURORA for 6 years. She is one of the most talented singer/songwriters out there.

Please please if you want to do a part 2. I recommend The Seed Everything Matters Under the Water To Be Loved These songs are my favorite of hers and I would be so stoked if you checked them out!!!!

I recommend "exist for love" its a very beautiful song.

My first song I heard from her was "Lucky" and even if it was ages ago, it still has a special place in my heart. If you have a spare moment, listen to it please. It's really good in both vocals and meaning.

AHHH! IM SO GLAD YOU LISTENED TO AURORA!! HER VOICE IS THE DEFINITION OF MESMERISING

Could you listen to a lesser known band called “Tally Hall.” They have lots of great songs like “The Bidding”, “Hidden in the sand”, and “Ruler of Everything.” It would be awesome if you listened to them.

Recommendations for if you decide to do a part 2: - Exist for Love - Queendom - The River - Different Kind of Human - Infection of a Different Kind

I'm so happy you got to check out Aurora. She is so magical! If you ever decide to do part two you simply HAVE to listen to The Seed and Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). You'll be blown away!! 💕

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE (I also suggest watching her live performances it’s a whole different experience!!)

When I was younger I used to compete in dance competitions and ‘Running with the wolves’ was one of my solos. I didn’t win much but with that dance something inside me just clicked. I’ve never been prouder of myself and every time I hear this somg it brings me straight back there. Such an emotional song for me

You should really react to her latest album that she dropped in january. It's called "The gods we can touch". Each song is based off of a different Greek god or goddess. Also, how have I never heard of people doing that water drop sound effect?

I came across Running With The Wolves when it was used as the theme song for the fourth and fifth seasons of a British TV show called Wolfblood, about teenagers who had the ability to turn into wolves. To this day, it is one of my favourite TV shows, and one of the very few that I own as a DVD box set!

I feel like everyone in the UK knows Half the World Away, it was used in a very popular advert here

MATHEW, you need to listen to the covers she did of God is a Woman, from Ariana Grande, and Beliver, from imagine dragons, THEY'RE STUNNING Also, try listening to "It happened quiet" from her second album/EP "Infections of a different kind"

Yes!! I really recommend the "Into the woods" soundtrack aswell :D (up to you obviously!)

Really enjoyed your reaction and thoughtful analysis of those songs by AURORA! So much great stuff to choose from when it comes to AURORA! For her music videos, I highly recommend THE SEED, WINTER BIRD, QUEENDOM, and APPLE TREE! Her live performances are incredible -- THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD, LUCKY, and IT HAPPENED QUIET at Nidaros Cathedral; INFECTIONS OF A DIFFERENT KIND, THE SEED and DAYDREAMER at her 2019 HAIK concert she performed in a forest; ALL IS SOFT INSIDE and CHURCHYARD at the 2018 KEXP concert in Iceland; FORGOTTEN LOVE at the LINDMO concert on NRK; and a number of very recent live performances, especially the acoustic and piano ones! Then there are her covers -- RASPUTIN (Boney M), LIFE ON MARS (David Bowie), TEARDROP (Massive Attack), to name a few.

GOOD GOD i remember a few years ago i recommended alt j to you and you told me you loved them, now i'm disappointed i didnt mention aurora then!! she's such an amazing artist im so glad you started listening to her now, all her albums are **chef kiss** it's never too late & i hope you get to enjoy her as much as us fans do💃🏽

AAAAA FINALLY AN AURORA REACTION VIDEO! i would honestly recommend songs from "infections of a different kind" and "the gods we can touch", two of my favorite albums of hers. it has the most authentic sounds of aurora that truly do feel as if they came from her soul. however i love all her songs and i adore how much she's developed over the years! i love ur reactions to her too, and i'm so glad more ppl are starting to appreciate her

If you want to get into her really experimental music, listen to "Wisdom Cries". My personal favorite song (along with Warrior) is "In Boxes", and I think you'd really enjoy "Conqueror" as well! Also, fun fact: One of her songs (Under the water) even has a version in Simlish (the made up language in The Sims), which you can find on the "spooky" radio station in the game! By the way, I think it's funny that you started with a cover, when she is known for writing her own music, but it is a very good cover, so no harm done!

Just wait 'til you see her live when she truly shines and transforms into the music. Then you'll start to understand Aurora.

Loved the video! Aurora is amazing! I would love to see your reactions to Thomas Sanders, he does covers and his voice is amazing! He also has a yt series called Sander Sides and it does have some original musical-type numbers!

The Seed is genuinely her best song. Make sure to react to the music video!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to will wood, hes like my favorite musician my recs would be I/Me/Myself, 5oh 6up CopOut, and Love me, Normally. Hes also in a band Will wood and the Tapeworms that also make really banger songs!

If you react to her again you should check out her cover of "teardrop" and "god is a woman"!

Great reaction brother. I love your energy. Cheers my friend

Rewatching some of your old stuff! So happy when I saw your Warrior reaction, it being my second favorite Aurora song My personal favorite is The Seed

LOVED ur reaction after the bridge ended!Love all of ur unexpected reactions to songs!I love vibing to music as u,dude!Keep up the amazing reactions and content,man!Also fun fact,did u know Running with the wolves was one of the theme songs for the teenage drama fantasy show called Wolfblood?

I'm glad to know that you liked Aurora, I hope you can react to her live performances, I'm sure you'll love them. Aurora is simply magical and she is releasing her album so I recommend it to you 😊

YOU NEED TO HEAR ’THE SEED’

Aurora's music recently has been featured in the game sky: children of the light.

Pls do more from her albums 🙏 😭 pls do Winter Bird/Murder Song/ Exist for love/ Queendom/ Black water lilies !!!

I was listening to her new songs so many times the last two months and suddenly i get the notification. I am exited for this :D

YOO i love Aurora her voice is so angelic ALSO I recommend half•alive they're epic I think you'd love TrusT it has an amazing beat drop I personally prefer their older music like the songs from Now, not yet but What's Wrong is also pretty cool Hope you make a video on them, I'd love to see your reaction :D

Will be entertaining to watch you go through her discography, hugs from Sweden.

I love runaway. It is probably one of the songs I most strongly connect to.

I didn't expect this reaction, but she's one of my favorite singers, so I won't complain :D Also, I would recommend listening to her entire last album "The Gods We Can Touch", it's just so beautiful

Omg I’ve been asking for this for so long

i just found out that she was the “voice” in frozen 2 from into the unknown

PLEASE listen to songs from the infections of a different kind(step 1) and a different kind of human(step 2) albums, especially the title songs. Queendom is also an absolute must watch. Auroras music is beautiful and im super happy that youre checking her out !!

I would love to see more Aurora reactions from you! She has so much more to offer, i just know you'll love her other songs. I recommend Exist for love, All is Soft inside, Murder song, The seed, and Queendom.

I love Aurora so much! All her stuff is great. I listened to her new album, exclusively, for a month. Temporary Vice is probably my fav of hers.

I love how she expresses herself, it looks like she can feel the music literally

MAT THANK YOU IVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO LISTEN TO HER FOR SO LONG!!

Oh if u do another one can't miss "it happened quiet" live at the current! I love watching her weave together the story as she sings in that one 😍🥰

I just want you to know that I actually have days where I just rewatch your videos all the time. You are my favorite RU-vidr.

I first heard 'half the world away' when I saw that one christmas ad and that with the music hit so hard that it made me cry

I got this notification while listening to her!

YESSS I love aurora :D if you’re ever doing another video on her I definitely recommend blood in the wine and this could be a dream from her new album; they’re absolute bangers

Would recommend everything from her new album, especially Blood in the Wine and Exhale Inhale and You Keep Me Crawling

Me before discovering her: great, another depresed soft voice singer Aurora: *_Laughts in Range_*

Love your reactions. Here's a fellow Norwegian that you might consider analyzing. Shortly after turning 9, this little barefooted girl arranged and performed a masterpiece cover of the Screamin' Jay Hawkins' 1956 original, "I Put a Spell on You". Although this song has been performed time and time again, many think this studio performance got closest to the original artist's intent. To further confound the issue, it also just doesn't seem rational that this is coming from a little Angelina Jordan. You may not prefer critiquing child singers, but this child prodigy is like nothing we've seen before. "I PUT A SPELL ON YOU" (black and white studio performance) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nwFloCPXzCs.html - A Child Prodigy - Angelina Jordan is a child prodigy who: began singing at 16 months old; shows a clear preference for jazz/blues (Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone, Etta James, Ben E. King, and Amy Winehouse), a talent which always work its way into every performance with her vibrato and riffs; she arranges all of her music; entered Norway's Got Talent at 7 y/o, and ended up winning; has performed around the world; her parents have kept their focus on her having a normal childhood so 90% of requests and offers have been turned down. The largest performance she has sung for was for over 40,000 people, while still a preteen in Norway. Having won Norway’s Got Talent, she was invited to compete America's Got Talent "The Champions" in 2020, at 13 y/o. She auditioned with her own arrangement of "Bohemian Rhapsody", earning herm a pass straight to the finals. By 15, she has over 160 cover performances and 5 originals. She has signed with Republic Records at 14. Her parents have still tried to preserve a normal childhood as possible for her and her little sister. She turned 16 this January, and Angelina's presence in the music industry is increasing (Here is Republic Records' page about Angelina - www.republicrecords.com/artists/angelina-jordan ) Here are 2 other videos you may wish to sample. The first is her "Bohemian Rhapsody" audition for AGTC and the second is her final performance on Norway's Got Talent, where she arranged and performed "Summertime". This second video has English CC and is broken into 4 parts: a spotlight on Angelina's experience on NGT; her performance of "Summertime"; the judge's responses to the impacts Angelina has made on them; and the announcement of the winner. Here are the time breakdowns of this performance: spotlight 0-1.40; performance of "Summertime" 1.40-4.20; judges summation 4.20-8.00; winner selected 8.00-12.48. If you wish to only listen to the song, I've included the judge's comments below. I've also included the backstory on why Angelina always performs and records barefoot. AGTC - "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" (includes golden buzzer) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tC1hD7k_WTw.html NGT 4 - "SUMMERTIME" (spotlights Angelina, pre/post performance, winning NGT, and has English CC) - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zN4kAof1is0.html - Norway's Got Talent Judges Reflections on Angelina - Omer Bhatti: “We were in shock when she started to sing…it was a discussion whether it was an impression of that kind of music (ref to Gloomy Sunday performance) or the real deal…and the next time we saw her, she owned the stage, when she rehearsed, she told the bassist what she wanted and had full control. And we were like…ok…you are a star…we have something special here…”. Judge Lisa Tønne: “…I am so happy that there is a human like you on earth. For me, this is not human like talent, I can’t explain it. … I’ve never ever experienced such a talent in my life.… “Don’t think. Just sing”. Judge Mia Gundersen: “Angelina, you have a gift that you got at such an early age. And to be able to convey this talent to the world is a huge task for an 8 year old, but you nail it. There’s almost no one that can convey in the way you do in this age. There are a lot of singers out there, and some of them sing great. But you have such a unique style. You have to protect your style. You have to understand that for yourself because it’s a gift…" Judge Bjarte Hjelmeland: “It won’t help how many times you say ‘Don’t you cry’, I can’t help it but to cry. You know I promised you and myself to not cry, but you hit something inside me whenever you sing, and you hit something in many people when you sing. And I’m thinking to myself, in 10 years… I think that is unimaginable…You sing so amazingly good.” - The Barefoot Princess of Jazz Backstory - Angelina is known as "The Barefoot Princess" or "The Barefoot Princess of Jazz". She always performs barefooted, whether in front of a live audience or during a studio recording. The story is that when living in the Middle East, at age 6, she came across an orphaned girl about her age sitting in the street, earning money by weighing people on a bathroom scale. She noticed how really cold it was and that the little girl was not only barefooted, but had scars on her feet. So 6 year old Angelina took off her own shoes, shoes that she loved, and gave them to the girl. Angelina decided she wouldn't wear shoes in her performances to remind her of all the children in the world who had no parents, proper clothes, or shoes. She remembers that girl every time she takes off her shoes to perform. Of the encounter, little 6 year old Angelina wrote in her diary: “The world is very strange. Right then and there I felt as if a door in my heart opened up, and it was filled with lots of lights. It was as if there was, from Earth to Heaven, a staircase. I climbed the stairs. To be able to do something for another human - it was such a big thing…hard to describe really.” In 2015, at 9 years of age, Angelina wrote a book about the encounter (making her the youngest published author in Norway). The book and her attire Angelina wore for her AGTC audition (above) were designed by her grandmother, who was herself a child prodigy in poetry and art. She has performed in charities for children, helping to raise 21 million euros and millions of dollars.

i think another band you should react to if your interested in is Steampowered Giraffe, songs like Honeybee, Clockwork Vaudville, and brass goggles are some of my favorites, or the band Tally hall, they're really cool and interesting bands if you wanted to check them out!

PLEASEEE do a part two!!!

These videos is the thing we need

YES ive been waiting for this one, i love aurora so much

Man, you've gotta do a part 2, and if you do, I highly recommend Heathens, it's one of her newer songs, and Helvegen, for something completely different.

I would love to see you react to It Happened Quiet, the acoustic version!

I just can't wait to see you react to Apple Tree, that was my introduction to her and then Runaway right after was my 2nd video of hers, so dang amazing! Then the Seed was 3rd and then Paramour by her and Sub Urban.

Please please do more AURORA reactions! I really recommend her music as it is always changing and evolving into new sounds.

Loved your reaction! Please do more of Aurora! I recommend All is soft inside, Queendom, The Seed, Forgotten love, Exist for love and/or A different kind of human to name a few ☺️

Oh to be able to go back a few years to when I first listened to each song and the feelings of discovery they evoked in me being so new to me. My friends told me about her music and I started out with 'the seed' which is quite a powerful song and I fell in love with the music almost immediately. And what a time for Mathew to start listening, just as the new album dropped, giving us even more variation and new song styles. Every single song is brilliant and refreshing/distinct whilst also having songs like 'a different kind of human' and 'mothership' being similar and even overlapping their audio in some places to tell her stories from each album. She creates these worlds of both calm and safety but intense power and naïvety of sticking to the status quo. Anyways, some cool facts. 'Half the world away' was for the John Lewis Christmas advert about the man on the moon. Such an iconic thing to be able to do as the John Lewis adverts were practically a Christmas tradition lol. She also sang a haunting cover of 'nature boy' for one of the Alien movies. 'Running with the wolves' got a second version made to better fit the film Wolfwalkers. She sang as the mystery voice in Frozen 2. So she really does have a lot under her belt. When Mathew said he felt like chanting the lyrics to 'warrior' with a bunch of other people I couldn't help but laugh because that's exactly what happens at an AURORA concert when she sings that song. Everyone sings along and those fists go in the air during the chorus, every song is just as excellent in live form as well because she really is that great at singing. Certain songs are slightly different when sung live to better fit the concert narrative, cause even her concerts tell stories. Got my second concert seeing her in less than a month and I am so hyped

Mathew: this is really peaceful 😌 Aurora: I can't take it anymore

Mann!! I love your reactions!! If possible can you please react to the ‘36 questions’ songs? It’s a musical podcast

Hahaha it was very fun to see you having the same reactions to each song that i have. Im bouncing in my chair to Cure for me with you :)

I really missed you doing artist reactions

Im glad someone could put my love and admiration for Aurora into words. Loved watching someone feel all the same emotions i had hearing these songs for the first time

Half the World Away is actually a cover of an Oasis song! Both songs are really awesome :)

THIS WAS GOOD IM LATE BUT AHH, saving this to my Aurora reactions hehe!!

You need to do a part two just listening to her live performances they are INSANE (I especially like the live version of runaway from like 2015)

I saw her live two years ago and Warrior is one of those songs you must scream out loud in a room full of people. The energy flowing around the venue was simply powerful and beyond description 💙

Exist for love is so hypnotic and beautifully written.

This was a great and sincere reaction to the talent of Aurora. I'd love to see your reaction to her singing 'It Happened Quiet' live at The Current. It's one of the best performances I've ever seen from anybody and always gives me the chills. I think you'd really like it.

Omg running with the wolves bring me back to my wolf blood days

Highly recommend her live version with Silja for It Happened Quiet

Amazing reaction! 🥰 I recommand: "Murder Song(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)" "It happened quite" "Through the eyes of a child"

Running with the wolves is used in a gorgeous film called wolfwalkers, that was my introduction to her

I think a part 2 reacting to her live performances would be great! Her live performances are another level. And if you want to cry you gotta listen to Through the Eyes of a Child live at Nidarosdomen.

He should play Sky:Children Of The Light Aurora does all the mystical beautiful vocals, and rn u can go to a concert by her in game! I did it and it moved me so much You can learn more about the concert through the game and the game awards recently

You have to see her live though! Murder song, through the eyes of a child, and infections of a different kind are so good live

you need to do a part 2 with her newest stuff!

SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE QUEEN. I get to her concert in the USA! (Her live singing is fantastic) Overdue reaction to such an idol, but I think I want you to see her most powerful songs!!☆ My suggestions: 'It Happened Quiet' (acoustic version or normal) 'Murder Song' (Nobel Peace Prize 2015 Live) 'Churchyard' (Original) 'The Seed' (Music video - my personal favorite) 'Athena' (the lyric video) 'Exhale, Inhale' (lyric video) I think these are interesting in lyrics, composition and in their power!☆

i would LOVE to see another reaction to her- i have yet to hear anything from her i don't love

wait, she wrote running with the wolves?! i heard that in a movie called wolf walkers! it was sooo good

omggg, in case you react to more songs by aurora, i completely recommend “animal”, it was the first song of hers that i heard and,,, 10/10.

you need to react to more of her stuff dude. i recommend "the seed."

If you want to listen to Aurora again I would also recommend one of her few Norwegian songs that she made called "Stjernestøv" which was made for a Norwegian advent calendar show (which we have yearly, meaning we make a new show for every December that slowly unravels as a calendar would and finishes on Christmas day

I absolutely love Aurora and have since 2015, and the songs you chose are great! However you didn’t choose any songs from her duology Of albums Infections of a Different Kind (step I) and A Different Kind of Human (step II). Both have incredible songs especially the title songs and It Happened Quiet and The Seed, if you do another video on her you should definitely listen to some of those songs!

ABOUT TIME!!! I'm glad you liked her as much as I (if not we) do!! 😄😄 If you are doing Aurora again next, please you gotta react to some of her tracks in her albums Infections of a different kind (Step 1) and A Different kind of human (Step 2) they are the highlights of Aurora's career and the BEST work she has ever released! 🥺

I was planning on doing runaway in front of my entire school and this just reminded me of that

You should totally do lyn lapid next!

You MUST check out the Seed and 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Murder, and eyes of a child.

You should totally listen to some more of her music. The Seed, Queendom, Eyes of a Child, and Exhale Inhale are a few I think you would really enjoy

Yes I’ve been waiting for this I love Aurora

Oooh! So glad to see someone new get introduced to the wonderful and amazingly talented Aurora!
