Aurora is the kind of artist, that when you first hear her you felt something was missing in your life. And she is the kind of artist when you see her live you realize that you didn't have a clue that a piece of your puzzle just no clicks in place.
She is just so tiny and humble to be the Queen she is in her own Queendome. I just love her free spirited personality. 🤗 And her lyrics should be on the curriculum for every school in the world. They are all amazing and meaningfull. 💪
@@malinpiratberg3069 thanks Malin! For some artist like AURORA, Evanescence, Devin townsend and some other older heavy metal group i have been on the comentary field for 1,5 years now. I have been on almost every AURORA reaction for over a year. På Svenska. har dock dragit ned på AURORA kommentarer pga några kommentatorer är för besserwisser aktiga samt att jag inte vill ledsna på hennes sånger framförallt konserten i Nidaros samt Runaway. Alltid lika roligt att höra av svenska AURORA FANS. Vi hörs. 💚💚💚
I’ve watched a couple interviews today and the “nothing is eternal” doc earlier , the 11 min long video . Wow she really has always been so unique and her sisters are so beautiful . Also I watched an interview where she was talking about her fascination with death and it was interesting and how she had to have her appendix out. She is really endearing !
There is a 2nd KEXP performance (4 songs) a few months after this one at KEXP radio station in Seattle without an audience though: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gWa68W9sUC4.html At 19:32 in the video the host does a nice interview, here are 2 quotes Aurora says about her performance and energy: 26:07 "I think it took me about 2 years to enjoy being on stage.....cause it is not a natural thing for me to..., I dunno, the attention thing is very strange" 26:40 "...because I have so much energy when I sing, and I can feel like, you know. It comes from like a different place, like from the place of music, if it's....you know, this divine place. I get like, I get too much energy for my tiny human shape." If you want to know about Aurora's background, here are 4 nice interviews: 2 when she was 18-19 and just starting to get noticed, and one later with her 2 sisters, and the last one is funny and shows her quirkiness (hit CC for English subs), but there are so many interesting interviews with her: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WSRwxwohtjs.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4B6lx2NM6yQ.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5F9gwIpCB9w.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bb9J68FSjo0.html Regarding "Runaway" she wrote it at age 11-12, so it was not about being homesick on tours. I saw her say in an interview that it makes more sense to her later in life than when she wrote it, so it was like a present to herself from the past. "It's strange how this song fits my life better now that I could ever imagine when I wrote the song itself. It's about how important it is to have a soft place to fall" If you want I can give you a long list of amazing live performances, but this post is already too long :-)
I've never experienced an artist that as you learn more and more about her you are just drawn in even more. She is wise beyond her years, and her ability as an empath is other wordly.
Once Aurora actually shows the beginning production for Step 1. It showed how much control she had in making the album. It also showed her growth in appreciating her fans. I felt sorry for her with the attention she had difficulty dealing with. She is easily one of my favorite artists!!
@@MizVikki999 this is a link to watch "Once AURORA" drive.google.com/file/d/1HNbqhIrRuOrbkmHnkEIKdCfhEhLmczRC/view?usp=sharing%5D(drive.google.com/file/d/1HNbqhIrRuOrbkmHnkEIKdCfhEhLmczRC/view?usp=sharing
Aurora's drummer is Magnus Skylstad, who co-produces a lot of her music including the album she is currently working on. His Wikipedia entry has this anecdote: When he met her, he said "My manager Geir Luedy (also Aurora's manager) asked me if I could do a session with a young woman; we booked the studio, and we recorded 5 or 6 of their songs with just the vocals and piano. I selected one of the songs I wanted to work with. This song was 'Runaway'. She immediately impressed me." Runaway is currently charting around the world after re-emerging on TikTok in March!
Who is Aurora. 1 of 3 sisters. Lived in a house by the fjord of light (Lysefjorden) and with forest around. Here Aurora roamed on her own thinking. She grew up without radio or tv, and only some records of Dylan and Cohan. At 6 she found a broken El. piano in the house. She had to hold the on button down so she learned to play with one hand 🙂. No one knew but she started to add lyrics when she had the words at 11yo, in english! One of her first is Lucky. Still no one knew, untill she wanted to sing for her parents as a gift. She didn't dare to, but made a record instead. 14yo. She also sang at a school event 14yo. Someone leaked it an it was picked up by someone in the music industry. Aurora did not want to become an artist but her mother said that her music could be important to some body. And it is.. 🤗 She was very nervous and allways sick before shows, but now she is ok with it. And now it is 10 years of music history.. 😊 Aurora loves the creative prosess and may change from music to something else. She is a good painter and writer as well. Totally self taught except from some dancing clases. You should check out some of her interviews. 🙂
@@FernStone She made Runaway when she was 11. And Lucky at 9. I´ve seen many reactions, but no one from the 2020 consert with Bergen string orchestra, without audience. Very calm and beautiful. I really like your reactions. It´s really clear you understand what you are talking about. And there are a lot of smart phone videos out there. She often talks to the audience for like ten minutes about what just is popping up in her head. And people really love it and laughing all the time. Like stand up comedy.
@@KjartanAndersen It was their choice to not have it. And to be honest more people should try it.. All time spent on tv and social media kills creativity. Just saying..
For a really comprehensive view on her background, check out the vastly underrated Lifekeys Talks - Aurora. Over one hour long and the most comprehensive interview with her out there.
omg wait i just remembered... like... just HOWWWW much energy is in this whole set oh lord ALSO the insane amount of skill they all have is incredible and so appreciated in this set
Fun fact! How did Silja get to be Aurora's backupvocalist? Silja was in a meeting regarding her own music, and at the end they asked her "Btw do you know a keyboard player? Aurora need one..." she BLUFFED and said she could 😂. That is how it all started.....
You have no idea about her comedic quality. She literally has no filter. You need to watch some interviews. She will say all kinds of shit you won't expect. It's refreshing how honest and open she is.
Hello lovely Fern. Great reaction as usual. Love to see AURORA especially in this one. Mostly for her energy and it show her pureness. I Love also her talk between song.
You should check out her full performance in nidarosdomen... That was the best live thing i have ever seen bcz everything is so grand and perfect and she's using like a choir and a small orchestra and harps and church organs and stuffs. The setting and the lighting are also really beautiful and she also sang two covers there along many of her ori songs
There are several documentaries out there. "Once AURORA". The "HAIK ducumetary" followd by the "HAIK concert" (wonderful concert by the way) And "Nothing is eternal" About what Aurora is singing in "Forgotte Love" I belive that is a "language" that Aurora herself invented. Pretty cool.
The woman doing the backing vocals are an amazing artist herself, it's Silja Sol. Silja and Aurora together creates this wonderful magic place Imagine singing and dancing this flawless with Björk in the audience watching. She really is a fearless fairy warrior 🥰🧚♂
I am glad that you are able to witness her amazing performance. I am really looking forwards when you get to watch the Nidarosdomen and HAIK concerts. Those really were transcendent. She really makes the world a brighter place. I am looking forward to your cover of all is soft inside, good luck!
If you want to know a bit more about Aurora check this one out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_uW-0HDWoc.html their speaking in Norwegian but this one is subbed in english. It's 78 min, shot during one day where a team had made a schedule for her ending with a concert in her childhood wood. Aurora did not know what was going to happen at all as she was guided through the day by the host of the show. It is beautiful from start to finish and so worth to react to (not many have done it).
Ohh, I hope you get this message. In the concert at the end there are songs from her last album A different kind of human step 2. Maybe you should react to the album before watching the HAIK concert at the end.
As for “her language” I don’t think it has a translation. I think she said it’s more of “emotions”. And it’s how she verbalizes it. Although I remember she mentioned having a diary with a decoder but I think that’s a different language she made up.
Great reaction. I enjoyed listening it again (this time with you). Also it is crazy how different is f.e. full concert in Nidarosdomen and how different is this full concert in KEXP and in the same moment how wonderful are both.
You want to know who Aurora is? You have a mini documentary called "nothing is eternal", a long documentary called "once" and a lot of interviews and live streams. And with all of this you are going to find out that not only her music is unique or interesting, she herself is quite a unique human or mind. I'll be quite interested to see you react to those. (Edit) i just saw in another comment about the lifekeys interviews and totally that is a must.
Finally got away to watch this reaction. Better late than never. This is my favorite performance from Aurora, because the energy in this is phenomenal. It allways gets me in a good mood. I love to see new people discovering Auroras music and performances for the first time. So I'm looking forward to your continued journey, and step 2. Also exited to see your cover 😊
Yesssss! Not at all surprised that you enjoyed this. "Life-affirming" is a big word, but I sort want to use it for this performance; it is so full of energy and "abundance", for lack of a better term. And yes, certainly Aurora's genius also shines through in her choice of collaboraters; a huge part of why these live performances are so amazing is of course the fact that she has musicians who can bring it to life along with her. (And Silja's amazing, amazing vocals is a huge part of that for me. So with that in mind, let me once again point you towards "It happenend quiet" at The Current; just Aurora, Silja, a guitar and a couple of mics... *sigh*) Thank you for a wonderful reaction - and get well soon, shoulders!
If you would want to know more about Aurora, there are couple of documentaries here on RU-vid available: Nothing is Eternal, HAIK, Into the Light, Becoming AURORA. Also, there's an hour-long docu that covers her journey, especially when she's on a non-stop touring for years. It is entitled as En Gang Aurora (Once Aurora in english). It's pretty hard to find a copy of it 'cause it's kinda blocked on other countries but I'm sure many fans including myself has a copy of it although mine was only screen captured and has slightly delayed subtitles. If you're willing to spend a little, you can find an official copy here: vimeo.com/store/ondemand/popup/4559768?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.idfa.nl%2F&ssl=1
Hey Fern, this performance was my first contact to Aurora about one year ago while roaming randomly through the KEXP gig-videos ... and I instantly fell in love with her. Since then, I went on a wonderful journey of her art and it literaly changed significant parts of my life. (Don't underestimate the magical power of music and its creators). I has been a pleasure watching you enjoying this performance as much as I did (and still do every time). It's lovely to see genuine happiness on people's faces. For me one of the reasons to watch reaction videos like this is the kind of feeling of enjoying the favorite art and artists together with likeable people, similar to sitting together with good friends and listening to music as a social happening. 30:55 To answer these questions I strongly recommend to watch her documentaries (if you haven't already), especially "Nothing is eternal" and the HAIK Documentary. It's a great way to get to know her a little bit more. Maybe in seperate reaction videos ... you wouldn't be the first one doing it that way. 😊
Thank you for this wonderful comment ! I’m so happy she has done that for you I truly feel the same as I listen to her more and more . She encourages me to be very open , I’ve always been a spiritual person but have always been quiet about it but she gives me confidence to be more open with it ! Her lyrics are forgoes and her vocals are so clear yet powerful ! Awww that’s the same reason I love watching reaction videos too ! Can’t wait to watch haik after I’ve reacted to ioadk step II next week !!!
@@FernStone Really looking forward to the step II reaction. For HAIK please note that there are two videos, one with the documentary (to watch with subtitles, as it is all in norwegian !) and one with the concert that happened directly after the documentary part. The first leads into the other with some overlapping in the beginning of the concert.
Actually Aurora and her sisters did take dance as young girls - from 6-16 according to a quote from her sister. 🌟I loved your reaction. It’s magic to watch others discover the beauty and joy of her music. I too I have watched this particular performance at least 30x since I discovered it. You will be excited to know she had a post in April 2021 saying her new album is unusual - so new Aurora tracks are coming soon! Cannot wait!
lovely reaction! i'd have to check, but don't think you did all the Nidarosdomen concert. hope you'll finish that. her backup Silja is an artist as well, and has opened for AuRoRa before. Magnus, the drummer, has a hand in a lot of the song writing. her father Jon sales garage doors and mother May is a stay at home mother. sister Miranda is a make-up artist (does AuRoRa's when she wears it. no one else touches her face) and Viktoria is a fashion designer. her and AuRoRa design her clothes. she was discovered after what i would call a talent show was posted on FB where she sung I Had A Dream. signed with Made Management shortly after. without her mother convincing her to share her music, she most likely wouldn't have signed. Thanks to Jon, May, Miranda & Viktoria for taking care of this treasure! Love your reacts! thx!
Thank you for guiding me through this Aurora perfomance once again! I watched it all and enjoyed all your comments. We clearly look at Aurora - the person and the performer - in the same way. She's good isn't she! I think this is one of her best live performances - so far! You tell us that you are contemplating covering "All is soft inside" Give it at go! I would love to hear your interpretration of this wonderful song!
Aurora is a true performer and you are a true reactor. Best one from this concert ever. Bravo!! Looking forward to the next chapter!! And you should probably look into some more interviews and maybe the documentary "Once Aurora." And then there is the HAIK documentary, leading to the HAIK concert in the wood where Aurora spent time in her childhood. You'll love that one, I'm certain.
I discovered your channel like, hours ago and I can't stop seeing your reactions of Aurora: you're amazing, so true to yourself and open to feel the music, the energy, everything! I love that, really. I saw her live and it was the best show ever, I cried the whole time, it was from another world; her energy is MAGICAL, it gets through your soul like a lightning bolt made of everything that is pure, powerfull and sweet in the whole universe. Love and light from Argentina! Oh, by the way, Aurora is a Gemini, that is why she has this double nature like, or her mischievous side ;) PD: I knew from the moment I saw you that you’re a spiritual-witchy being, sending you witchy sparks of magic from here! (Sorry for any grammatical mistake)
Hello ! Welcome 💕 thank you for this amazing comment ! Wow ! You got to see her live ! I’m so happy for you I can only imagine how amazing that was . Her energy is so rare and wonderful . Awwww witchy sparks and good energy being sent back to you too ! Thank you so much 🌸💕
if you wanna know her story, watch her haik documentary. she talks about what it's like growing up, why she is who she is, and stuff. you could totally make it as a reaction video, though the documentary is almost an hour long. but honestly, i'm pretty sure most of us dont mind it. I personally have watched her haik documentary multiple times now and still find myself going back to it. by the end of the documentary, there will be a haik concert. you could either watch it all through and through or make a two-part video, one for the documentary and one for the concert.
her music and the way she sounds makes you imagine her in a dark forest peeking out from behind trees at you, singing and laughing, being cheeky and having fun!
❤ all your Aurora reactions! Have you seen her live yet? Do NOT miss a chance to see her live, it's pure magic. It's worth a looooong drive or even by plane, or bicycle! Seen her twice and those were the best concerts I've ever been to. It's like a family gathering and she creates such a warm and welcoming atmosphere and of course she aways delivers. ❤ from Norway 🇳🇴🦄🦋
I have yess !! I made a vlog about it on RU-vid too . Was sooooo fun 🤩 loves every moment just wish I was closer to the stage . Didn’t take away from the magic though .
@@FernStone Found your vlog! So happy you saw her live. Seen her twice and it's definitely not the last. Watched almost everything of your Aurora reactions and your emotion and breakdowns are perfect. Seen countless reactions to Aurora, but you and Adam Straughan are my absolute favourites. Much love from Norway 🇳🇴❤️🦋
Wait til you get to see her live in person! It's unreal. I have been lucky enough to meet her and she is incredibly grounded and down to earth. Really enjoying your reactions! x
I just couldnt hold back and had to watch your beautiful reaction to this beautiful masterpiece of a concert again. Lady, I have to say I just enjoy every second of the deep raw enjoyment you seem to have while listening to Aurora. I feel you truly understand the uniqueness of this little norwegian genius in quite no time. Your "mutism" after all is soft inside makes me kind of emotional cause I felt the same first time. I am really looking forward for future reactions of yours. Finally, I just wanted to thank you for the fun I had watching your reaction. Love from Germany
What a lovely lovely thing to say . I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it ! I just finished recording my reaction to A Different Kind Of Human and I can’t wait to post it on Wednesday ! I’m blown away . Thank you again , I’m so glad we can connect through such beautiful music .
@@FernStone oooh yes!!!! River, dance on the Moon, daydreamer and not to forget the title song a different kind of human..so many great great songs in this one. Cant wait for wednesday 😄 i really looking forward. And yes, one of the mighty traits of music is the power to connect one to another. Its the beauty of (forgotten) love...
It hurt when it ended, huh? It's so nice & somehow validating to see you fall in love with Aurora as we all have. May I say you honesty is nice to see. Kinda like holding up a mirror. Glad you're on this journey. Thanks again. Oh & I'm looking forward to your cover. Trust your gut! it will be lovely.
Here weeks later but I'm not sure if anyone mentioned that All is Soft Inside is about her sister's depression and viewing it from the outside. The song even sounds and feels like a 2 - 3 week manic-depressive episode, Like the lingering darkness in the beginning to chaotic mania in the middle back down to radical acceptance in the outro.
I think Aurora is a true child of nature (yes, I'm aware it's a cliche). She seems to be connected to something outside the world of man, something untamed and pure that the rest of us can not access by ourselves anymore. She lacks all the filters we others observe the world around us thru as soon as we leave innocent childhood. Her child like spirit seems to live and thrive whilst ours are long since dormant. When she sings for us we can get small glimpses of this hidden and ancient world. But only if we slow down and let ourselves listen intently when her spirit speaks to our souls thru her voice. It's a wondrous and precious thing to behold indeed. If there ever was an artist that truly draws her inspiration from nature it's Aurora. I feel the four elements in her voice and her lyrics. I can see in my mind's eye a small clear stream finding it's way thru high mountains and old, deep forests with a cold and crisp wind blowing above it. I can smell the moss covered earth, see all the wild animals along the stream and feel the snowflakes on my face...
I've been waiting for this reaction! I think its about time to officially declare you a ✨warrior and weirdo✨ (even though you've been one for quite a long time) Also, Auroras language in forgotten love doesn't have any actual meaning because its not an actual language. I believe she said that the only meaning is what we feel it means. Also I'm really looking forward to seeing your cover! It'll turn out beautiful❤️
31:30 To know "Aurora's story" you could check out (as a reaction video or on your own) a couple of documentaries: "Nothing Is Eternal" (it's free on RU-vid) and "Once Aurora" (it was airing on some Norwegian channel and wasn't available on RU-vid but I think there are re-uploads of it here, still, if someone was to react to it, there would be a lot of copywrite issues, I think). Update: 1) Nothing Is Eternal documentary - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4vdBorK67tk.html 2) As I suspected, Once Aurora re-uploads were deleted
@@FernStone I hope you'll have a great time! Also, "Once Aurora" was filmed while Aurora was recording her 2 and 3 albums (Step I and Step II), so there's some insight into her and her team's creative process. One thing to note: there are different versions of this doc. Shorter one was available to the public and full one was released at some screenings on a couple of festivals and, unfortunately, some of us'll never get to see the "full" picture. But I think that the longer version was later available for purchase (?), I'm not quite sure about that, tho. Still, there were some snippets of a longer version on RU-vid. For example this one, that shows a little bit of a different version of Forgotten Love (originally named The Beauty In Forgotten Love): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XGrqANQfCwI.html
You should watch The HAIK documentary with Aurora youll be able to know her a little more and also have performances of her in a florest is really awesome !! LOVED your reaction as always
Her festival-debut at Øya, Oslo. It's a more timid version, but she made as much an impact on that audience as she has done in us. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QFrK3QgRqFI.html
Aurora Live is an overwhelming experience.......this was Clastonbury UK 2019 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3DihvVQtIZ0.html Brazil 2018 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tg-nbbWkfaU.html So much fucking energy in such a little cute lady, Fern, sweet Aurora is big talk!
I swear I watch this performance at least once a week…it’s just out of this world..this week I watched it with you lol. I will never share this with my guy friends in fear they won’t like it 🤣🤣🤣 this performance is an absolute masterpiece wow
She is 5'3. She is the youngest of three sisters, and not surprisingly something of an "oddball" (in a good sense, of course ;-)). Her family is a very normal, loving one.
Ok I’m late lol but yeah her “Dancing” is what we her fans and friends say is her “ Expressing the music through her whole being no matter the type “ wouldn’t you agree fern?
3:19 "Tiny!" :D She's 1,60m, but the camera lens is a wide angle, so it exasperates the perspective, making she looks even smaller; it also seems that Aurora "falls" towards us. Beautiful video with a palette of colors and lights that also made the images magical for that special evening. Well, then there are the songs, but You All Know How Wonderful They Were.
Great reaction. It’s obvious you’ve jumped somehow into her magical queendom and are now a true WW/fan. Looking forward to seeing your cover of All Is Soft Inside too.
First, thank you for a great reaction to a great concert. Since you are interested in makeing a cover of All soft inside, you can listen to Ane Brun's cover of this song. This is in the the HAIK documantary part (Aurora HAIK consist of two part, one documentary part and one concert part). Ane Brun is one of the most important artist for Aurora, since her music helped Aurora in some of her hardest times, when she was younger. But be aware of that the HAIK Documentary part has a shorter version of this cover (and Aurora's Warrior performance). Her is a link to the full version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zB0Qx7buCF8.html
Superb reaction once again! I hope you react to Soft Universe live at Nidarosdomen and Infections of a Different Kind live HAIK later, really great performances! Or maybe react to those entire concerts, those are two of her best with this one being the other great concert. She has many documentaries, the longest one is called Once Aurora which chronicles her life during the making of the Step 1 album you just reacted to. Doing a metal version of All is Soft Inside sounds really cool, hope you decide to go that route!
She wrote "Runaway" at the age of 11, long before anyone even knew she could sing or perform. Though it fits very well to your thoughts, it was not what inspired the song.
Yeah I did say that it wasn’t acting , I meant she was using actions to express the emotions , to show them completely and bring visual elements to them . Being a performer you have to focus on many things and like I’ve said through the whole video she is expressing her emotions so much. I said “you can drop an act but you can’t drop who you are “ meaning she was being herself as she kept the same energy all the way through . ☺️
