Old Composer Reaction to AURORA Running with the Wolves 

Ah, me so old - YES, I did do a video on Aurora a couple months back - sigh- I need to take more Ginkoba for my memory - LOL! If you have any other requests for me to listen to Aurora tracks leave them below in a comment :)

In a documentary about Aurora, I saw her walking around in a room I belive she has not been in before, picking up things and knocking on them. When she fund a sound she liked, she recorded it. Aurora is a percussionist. Aurora and Magnus, her drummer, produce her albums. I'd like to hear what you think about "All is soft inside" (live on Kexp). There is allot of interesting things going on.

How interesting to hear you make analysis of my soul healer. There is so much to say about this little but emotional lady. I myself am an oldtimer metalhead but I and many others have seen the qualities she has .... and there are many. I'm not a bit surprised that you like her. A song that is interesting and I think you would appreciate is the original to "the seed" by Aurora. Hope you continue into her rabbit hole.

Yes! You've discovered Aurora. She really is quite unique. Aurora is the total package - singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, producer/arranger, choreographer, and an absolutely lovely human being (and she’s just 25 years old!). She will often perform her songs quite differently - sometimes with her band, other times stripped down to just her and one instrument, a cappella, with full orchestra, etc. - so it is definitely worth listening to different versions of the same song. Also, her videos are mini-masterpieces as well. Oh, and maybe you aren't a lyrics guy, but with Aurora you can't help but hear the lyrics. A short list of original songs: Runaway - Nobel Peace Prize concert and her music video Through the Eyes of a Child - Nidarosdomen concert, my recommendation Live Stripped - VIVO UK Lift: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CFzExUN1N8I.html It Happened Quiet - Nidarosdomen concert, but I'd recommend the live at The Current version as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9U-N6LqzdIM.html Churchyard - Live on KEXP Winter Bird - Nidarosdomen concert and her music video Murder Song 5,4,3,2,1 - Nobel Peace Prize Concert Lucky - Nidarosdomen concert Little Boy in the Grass - Nidarosdomen concert The Seed - Music Video, HAIK Concert The River - Music video, Live in Bergen 2020 Exist For Love - Music video, Daydreamer - Music video She also does some awesome covers: Life on Mars - David Bowie Believer - Imagine Dragons God is a Woman - Ariana Grande Across the Universe - John Lennon Teardrop - Massive Attack Rasputin - Boney M

She just released new song "Heathens". No surprise: I love it :).

The acoustic session with the cello, guitar and drums is beyond words..!!!! Such a beautiful and pure soul

Greate content! Hope you will check out Through the eyes of a child from Nidarosdomen concert. It is NRK, so you will not be blocked... 😎

Aurora is wonderful to listen to no matter if she's singing or not. When she is singing, her body language is as lively as her voice. There's nothing lost in translation with her.

Very nice. Would have preferred the music video, but still good. Half the experience with Aurora is watching her. If you continue, you should do some live stuff or music videos.

All is soft inside- AURORA plss 🥺

Aurora remade this song for the animated movie "Wolfwalkers". You should check it out!

You also should see the impressive official video. Great song. Try The seed, official video.

You absolutely have to continue down this rabbit hole! I'm an old grunge rocker type and like other rockers and metalheads will certainly be telling you, despite our usual tastes, we all love Aurora! I cant say it enough. This girl is special. She is that rarest of breeds that sounds even better live than recorded. I would recommend you react to 'Murder song (5,4,3,2,1) live at the Nobel Peace Prize Concert, or 'The River' live at HAIK.

when you say that a lot of modern female singers have a completely different way of singing recently, I think Aurora has been the pioneer in this movement. Billie Eilish said that it was an Aurora song that made her want to pursue music and that it inspired her style. And Billie has then gone on to influence every new female singer today. I think Aurora has really changed the music game in the past ten years and doesn't get nearly enough credit for it.

Yay, your back! Welcome back to the Weirdos and Warriors club. Thank you for you reaction to her songs! She's enchanting in anyway, unique, magical and angelic. She's from Norway, 25 this year :')!

I believe what you might enjoy is here live(studio) version of It Happened Quiet or the live performance of Runaway she did for the Nobel Awards. This specific version I believe you adore. Aurora - It Happened Quiet (Live at The Current)

Really enjoyed your reaction and insightful analysis! Since those earlier compositions, AURORA has continued to evolve and diversify as both singer and songwriter. So much to recommend! (1) The 2018 KEXP concert in Iceland: CHURCHYARD and ALL IS SOFT INSIDE; (2) The iconic Nidaros Cathedral concert: LUCKY, IT HAPPENED QUIET, THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD, and others; (3) FORGOTTEN LOVE live at LINDMO ; (4) her covers of: RASPUTIN, TEARDROP, THE PARTISAN, GOD IS A WOMAN, LIFE ON MARS; (5) last but not least: her brand new songs: MIDAS TOUCH, CURE FOR ME live at NRK; Her collab with Sub urban -- PARAMOUR. There are others as well.

Aurora is a truly amazing artist.

Havn't checked yet, but omg I hope you do more Aurora, you WILL love,this was so early.

Aurora is really one of a kind completely genuine and feels her music more than any artist I know.Already have tickets for her show in 2022.

plz react to Aurora performs 'It Happened Quiet' live in The Current studio.

"under the water" is one of my favorite tracks by AURORA, i think you would like it.

She got some fantastic covers to , check out Teardrop.(Massiv Attac)

I believe you have covered Aurora before 🤔 *Yep, back in October you analyzed Runaway.

Aurora's Runaway was a huge Inspiration for Billie Eilish. I can recomand Runaway live at the nobel peaceprise consert and Murdersong from the same show. Another Norwegian band with a female singer who I think sounds a lot like Aurora but more alternativ rock. (Folk prog) is Kalandra. Please react to Kalandra Slow motion live at Gildehallen or Brave new world live at Kulturkirken. On Slow motion you can hear a hint of clasic Persian vocal technique. Love your channel 👌

This is the first song of hers I ever heard - and this was just in 2021! How had I not heard of her before?! I get to thank my daughter for sending me this song. I have been hooked ever since. Aurora is pure artistry.

Wow this is very different from the rock channel. Surprised just how big the production is on this.

You mentioned Frozen… the song she sings is called Winter Bird. If you like her I highly suggest listening to The Seed and Blood in the Wine

you've really got to do some live aurora songs.. they completely destroy her studio recordings. suggestions: Soulless Creatures (Live in Bergen 2020), Churchyard (Live at KEXP) the seed (world earth day 2021).

I'm no expert so I'm only regurgitating what I've read, but during album recordings she harmonises over herself.

So glad you selected this. Love Aurora. Recommend "The Seed" or her cover of Bowie's "Life on Mars"

Do yourself a favour and take a look at the official video for this song. You don't need to do a reaction to it but it brings a whole new light to the song.

Please, please watch her live. There are too many excellent performances to list, but I would suggest either "It happened quiet" or "Lucky" . For a different side of here, "No cure for me" Is very upbeat with a good message.

Since you focused a lot on the drum flourishes in the production, you should know that a producer of the track was her drummer Magnus Skylstad, who co-produces along with Aurora on much of her recent music. That could be the why behind some of the points you were making.

Aurora is so underestimated. What a diamond ❤❤

Very amazing thought process you have! I bet you'd like the video associated, she shows so much emotion and the meaning of her song.

Yayyy I'm so glad you liked it! Aurora really never misses tbh. I'm excited to see what you have planned for the channel!

Great reactions for an amateur like me. Very interesting comment! Thank you so much!👏🙏🏼😊 I think you would find both her Haik concert in the woods (literally) or the concert in Nidarosdomen (cathedral eith organ, reduced symphony orchestra and choir) interesting from both a professional and artistic perspective. All songs in both cocerts are nothing less than spectacular but Daydreamer from Haik and Lucky from Nidarosdomen are just otherworldly with amazing sound! I have beento a lot of concerts from classical, tock, jazz, pop, but these pretty much top any and all concert recordings I have heard during more than 40 years of concerts. Merry Christmas!🎅😊

I love how you have grown as your channel has grown your much more condifent in the way you talk. Good going man

you need to see her live

Ooh, the bass synth!

Aurora and Elden Ring reaction? I'm in!

this is actually your 3rd listen to AURORA ..

It is best to listen to live versions of Aurora's music

Great reaction! Many good suggestions already on where to go next with Aurora. There are so many fantastic performances to choose from. I highly recommend to check out her live performances, like Nidarosdomen, HAIK, KEXP Iceland, or maybe Aurora live with Bergen Philhamonic Orchestra 2020.

Fun fact: All female voices in her studio productions are sung by Aurora. No other female singer was involved.

Not an aurora track but could you do a breakdown/reaction to Mars Volta: Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)? It’s one of my all time favorite songs and I think you’d get a kick out of it

Dude....it's been too long....you gotta do more Aurora! Her fans will show up for it....trust me. We're crazy loyal to her lol. *_"Lucky"_* live at Nidarosdomen is THE song to do. Or *_"It Happened Quiet"_* at The Current. Or both!? Trust me...either song, but those specific live versions which everyone basically agrees are THE definitive versions of those songs, will blow you out of the water. They're both a solid order of magnitude better than the 2 songs of hers you've heard so far....

😎🤙

You HAVE to do her live version of "Murder Song" from the Nobel Peace Prize Concert! 😭😭😭 But you can't do it without listning to the lyrics.

Aurora is amazing! The two songs you've reacted to are a little bit older now, but her new album comes out in January and this one is a single from it. I would love to hear your reaction to it! Heathens: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-etIXDCSB_VU.html Heathens (live): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-utKR7tAm0hg.html

This is great, and as always a great analysis! Her version of Ariana Grande's "God is a Woman" is what first introduced me to her. Check it out! It's live, so it's more about arrangement than engineering, but so moving.

As mentioned on the other video, you really need to do the live performances

Please check out the Nobel Prize performance of (54321) murders song. Even a technical ear can get immersed in that performance. I love learning about production and engineering on this channel. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO!

Could be Enya. But i would say Eurythmics are one of the forerunners. Annie Lennox did not have the higher spectrum voice, but music wise its somewhat similar. As for Aurora, she is highly inspired by another Norwaegian artist that goes by Susane Sundfør. And i think Sundfør was early on out with these new voice drive. You should check her out!

Hey its me again, fan from the metal channel. Going to start posting this all over this channel feels annoying but its for the the algorithm. Please check out Hiatus Kaiyote they are from Australia (RIP) . One of my favs is "Dr. Jeykll" but their whole discog is epic :)

Add to the list to eventually get to: Damien Rice. The song I Remember is a great place to start.

ALWAYS chose a live performance with Aurora. The Nidarosdomen Concert is a masterpiece. For something different try her appearance with Wardruna doing Helvegen.

Please, check her out live!

Glad you've found Aurora, her songs are indeed quite beautiful. If i may offer a humble suggestion, not just for you but for your listeners. Please listen to "Corpo-Mente" - "Dorma", in particular the Live at Improve Tone Studios, 2015 version. Fun fact:- Its the same members of IGORRR, but the music is the exact flip side. Where igorrr is heaviness and chaos, Corpo-mente is beauty and soul. Laure is absolutely phenomenal, she sings in a language she invented, sings the entire sitting down... and during the last section she sings what is the violin part on the CD recording. Could not recommend highly enough.. Well, except maybe the other songs from that live session like "Ort". )

I really appreciate your approach, and this reaction to Aurora! She has quite a catalogue and many versions of each song here on YT. You spoke of tone and ways of using the voice by female singers of later 15 years. May I introduce you to Susanne Sundfor? She is held by many as the mother and inspiration for the rise of a well of young female singers in Norway. She is a singer songwriter and an absolute favorite of mine so please check out this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MTz1aGXL41c.html

If you want to hear metal where the vocals are pushed to the foreground you should hear Babymetal, and the song Akatsuki in particular. This is the live version which is by far the best one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g2372C5PJLM.html Other songs by Aurora which are absolutely amazing are Cure For Me, It Happened Quiet, Lucky.

You mention the dull synth - check out the NPR Little Desk Concert (link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evBgLWQwAFA.html ) where a muted acoustic guitar plays that, really cool. Running With Wolves is the third of three songs on this performance, preceded by Runaway and Murder Song. Even if you don't react, it is worth a listen to listen to her voice without a lot of extra sonic elements to distract you. Also, check out "It Happened Quiet" live at the Current ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9U-N6LqzdIM.html ) the harmonies with Silja Sol are fantastic!

Pleaseeeeeee u need to react to her single - the seed pleaseeeeeee pleaseeeeeee

Hey there Maestro Geebz, If you are curious about some interesting ways of engineering, I would recommend listening to the: The Glitch Mob - I Need My Memory Back (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dzSpvFwNB4w.html) Their work is Electronic Music with a twist of IDM and industrial/glitch. A lot of layers and what I call a wall of sound, but not without depth. I'm pretty convinced you might enjoy this.

Heyy!! I have a recommendation for you again. Its gonna blow your socks off yet again. I promise. Chhap Tilak - Coke Studio. Please react to it. It will be a memorable experience.

React pz dimash incredible new song Japanese ( ikanaide)
