Renaissance Man Reacts to AURORA - Lucky (Live at Nidarosdomen) 

55 yr old Rocker here…herd her a couple of years ago…the emotions she brings out in me…can’t describe…incredible voice…a true artist…

Through the Eyes of a Child at this same concert is incredible. I can’t watch it without crying. Highly recommend.

This entire concert performance is nothing less than spectacular. It's an hour long and I highly recommend it. She also performs Murder Song and It Happened Quiet in the Nidarosdomen concert. I think I read somewhere that the halls of Nidaros Cathedral has a seven second resonance. ✌🏼

"Nidarosdomen" = Nidaros Cathedral and "Nidaros" is the medieval name of the city of "Trondheim" in Norway where the cathedral is located. There were 1100 people in the audience for this performance on Nov 2nd 2017 (5 year anniversary recently), and those tickets was sold out in like 4 minutes. This concert was denied at first by the church administration on the grounds that it did not meat the criteria for use of the church: It should provide room for wonder, faith and hope (apparently they never listened to Aurora's music). The festival arranging the concert appealed to the parish council and it was unanimously approved. I highly recommend this a cappella version of "Through The Eyes Of A Child" youtu . be / CFzExUN1N8I

Great reaction! The entire consert is a masterpice...... the Norwegian broadcaster NRK are world class, video and the sound quality is magic.

The Viking Fairy Queen will be coming to my country this coming March, I simply can't wait for that oment to arrive, I'm going with my 13 year old grandaughter, Valentina, gonna be a mind blower OMG!

If Nidarosdomen is not the perfect concert, then perfection is not possible.

I’m moved beyond words GENIUS

This concert was at Nidaros Cathedral in Norway. The 1500 tickets for the concert sold out in 5 to 10 minutes when they went on sale. Aurora sings Bowie's "life on mars" at the end of this concert and it is just fantastic. Great reaction. Thanks.

One of my totally favorite performances. For me it is masterpiece. Just everything. Her voice, expression, camera shots, song, lyrics, meaning - just amazing. And yes Aurora is like anyone else - she is unique. It is not only about her music and expressions and how much she is "in the songs" but also about her personality. And her music and art looks for me like a just extension of her. She is very free and looks like in harmony with her music:). But is is only my opinion :).

I was at one of her concerts where she performed Life On Mars, and even with 5000 people all around me, you could hear a pin drop on the dirt ground. That is if you weren't so enthralled with her performance that nothing else mattered, ofcourse.

Fun fact. Nidarosdomen have three organ. The main organ played here has almost 10 000 pipes. One of the biggest in Europe. It sounds amazing.

I discovered her threw a video game. Sky. She had a concert in the game it was amazing

47 year old metalhead here. Aurora is the best "mental cleansing" for me. She seems authentic and very talented.

You are my doppelgänger, dude. This young woman is very special. A shame about the focus situation, but you made the right choice-genuine reactions.✌️

I wish someone would create a musical that Aurora could star in. Heck, she could even end up on Broadway.

Aurora is one of my top favorite female vocalist on the planet. (Actually my top 2 are both Norwegian, Angelina Jordan being the other but 10 yrs younger) This entire Nidarosdomen concert is simply and epic masterpiece of Aurora's stunning vocals and the entire production with the Orchestra, her band, the choir and the fantastic camera work as well as the acoustics of this Cathedral. Her Haik concert in the forest as well as the documentary that accompanies it are right up there too. Thanks for your reaction to Aurora.

You must listen to the lyrics!! She has a important story to tell! I wonder why some people want Aurora to do something else - like a film… peculiar- why don’t just enjoy her art like she presents it? And don’t just comment on her outlook- experience it through the heart.

Hi Ken, goosebumps and shivers all over my body - every single time I hear this song. I agree with you that AURORA is unique. I don't know any other singer who is so extraordinary and unusual. That concerns the versatility of the music and the lyrics and then her movements. This is not mainstream. Nidarosdomen is a cathedral in Trondheim , Norway. As far as I know it is the largest cathedral in Norway. AURORA is so deep into the story she's thinking about. Her facial expression is just the result. At that moment AURORA was somewhere but not in the cathedral. You saw her eyes. She was somewhere else. The song is her way of suicide prevention. A masterpiece. And you have to consider that she started writing this song when she was 9 years old. What child at that age thinks about this topic? And creates such a song as a result? AURORA's voice is great and works phenomenal in the cathedral. ------------------------- There are three very unusual concerts by AURORA. One is in the Cathedral Nidarosdomen and the other in a forest where she played a lot as a child. The concert (HAIK) in the forest was organized by NRK TV. But it's not just a concert. They surprised AURORA with different things for a whole day. She was supposed to do a small concert (only 1 song) in front of two fans. Pure emotions, I can tell you that. Then a singer, Ane Brun, sang a song by AURORA just for her. Then another surprise and finally the concert in the forest (7 songs, approx. 40 minutes), which in itself is amazing, fantastic, enchanting... The most important thing about the documentary (38 minutes) are the interviews that are conducted in the car on the way. There you can learn a lot about AURORA. - AURORA HAIK Full Version - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-n_uW-0HDWoc.html - approx. 1h:16m - AURORA - Live in Nidarosdomen [Full concert] - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XXVwFvkNTEg.html - AURORA - Somewhere Else Festival | 2020 - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QPQ0zSVzod0.html - a concert, during the lockdown, without a public --------------------------- Three important bits of information I found from another commenter: 1. -- In a recent interview she said "well, the last song I wrote is meant for my 7th album.” - AURORA's latest album, the fourth, was released on January 21, 2022. She's already in the planning for the 7th. 2. -- AURORA was a teen when she answered the question "are some of your songs related (on different albums)?" - it will all make sense when I have finished. - AURORA has a plan and we don't know the destination yet. But it is important to know that everything belongs together. 3. AURORA is holding back one song from every decade of her life to release those songs as the last album after her death. Which artist does that? Have a nice day and a nice Christmas time Greetings from Germany

If you ever get a chance to see her in concert you really need to!Saw her in May this year and good lord it was magical.

The greatest artist in the world today. We are Lucky to be alive.

She went to a dancing school from around 6 years old until 15-16, and then she gave it up to pursue the music career, as well as quitting 3rd / senior year of high school after the first day. There are 2 dance videos with her from before she was famous, that later was posted to youtube: youtu . be / rMmt1wVgjy8 and youtu . be / FFEHA9gbs Btw this concert will not get any copyright strikes, any video with "NRK" in the corner is safe, it is the Norwegian national commercial free TV channels. The concert is even still available on their website for free without needing VPN.

You should really do "Through the eyes of a child" from the same concert. It's just out of this world.

Aurora's voice is pure emotional exfoliation. I have heard this performance probably 30 times, and every time it just squeezes the soul like the first time. This and "through the eyes of a child" both just gut me every time (also from this same concert)

Wonderful reaction. Like and subscribed. Speaking of the camera work, I have watched this full concert many times, and the many, many different camera angles from up close and all around, left right and center, to up high in the ceiling, zoomed in and faraway, are simply incredible. And other than the one directly in front of her below the stage which briefly appeared, I have never spotted a camera. Maybe I'm blind, but unlike many live, open performances with this many different viewpoints, you just aren't aware of them.

Good reaction. I personally cherish Lucky to my soul. AURORA delivered this song so beautifully!!

When stepping into Aurora-land, you could do a lot worse than start with _this_ very performance. It's usually my go-to when trying to quickly convert someone in one video. But this whole concert is mindbogglingly good. I've seen Tool live twice....and Smashing Pumpkins live. But, the whole Nidarosdomen show is one of my top 5 concerts ever.....and I wasn't even there. It's that good. Beyond that, there's SO MUCH to dig into when it comes to Aurora. I discovered her March 15, 2020....yeah I remember the date lol. It was lockdown and I stumbled across the Nidarosdomen concert. 1 hour later....I was BUZZING with inspired energy and head over heals in love with this new artist. It's been 2 1/2 years since then....and I'm now basically a full blown Aurora uber fan. Ask me the most miniscule random bit of trivia...and I'll have the answer without having to think lol. It's a bit of a cult....the W&W community, but our cult leader is damn near a literal Bodhisattva, so it's all cool. ;P Seriously though, Aurora is hands down one of my favorite artists ever....and one of my favorite human beings ever. Just warning you....this rabbit hole goes DEEP, if you so desire.....

I've heard her compared to Delores O'Riordan, late of the Cranberries, with her mastery of that nasality. Both of them drive me crazy with emotion.

Great reaction Ken! This song and performance is a favorite for me too. The whole venue is outstanding in camera, sound and very professional musicians, and the acoustic of the cathedral (the tail is 7 seconds long). Concerts like this is a very rare thing for this place of christian worship and it is a proof of Aurora's high standing in the Norwegian cultural society.

To write an anti-suicide/depression song at the age of 9. Incredible

AURORA🥰❤❤❤

Great reaction, even though the dessert reference you wrote was a bit creepy. lol

If you want to hear Aurora sing with "someone" i can recommend her as a co-singer to Einar Selvik (male "viking style" singer) and his band Wardruna doing an epic version of their song Helvegen at Bergenshus fortress. The harmonies they make will take you somewhere else... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FnkTuHP9q3o.html (Lyrics are mostly in an in archaic form of "Nynorsk" written form and some Old Norse (last verse). The video has English captions i you want to follow the lyrics)

Great reaction to an incredible performance. I really enjoyed that, and you have a new fan. This entire concert is spectacular, from the performance to the setlist to the production, etc. This concert is probably #1 for most Warriors and Weirdos. I personally think it's one of the best things I've ever seen. Regarding collaborations, how about Aurora and Geoff Castellucci? 🤔

For a born and raised metalhead(1986), Aurora is a breath of fresh air compare to the bubblegum POP industry now days in my eyes, ears and emotions. She does thing's HER way! She write her own songs, she says NO when producers want's her to sound and act a certain way. I think that is why I really enjoy her music. For me it feels like the music she produces is like the old days (make's you think).... Unlike most pop music - witch is created JUST to make money and fame for the artist and producers!

She is totaly whithout makeup. You can see her feelings

i know you because im a big fan of The Warning as you can see on my profle pic, I got so excited when i saw you uploaded this video because Aurora, along with TW are my favorites artists, she is super special, definetly no one like her, I hope you bring more reactions of the videos you havent seen from her. thank you and have a great time.

Nice reaction🤗 This whole concert at Nidarosdomen is amazing, every song is so beautiful 😍 She wrote “Lucky” when she was only 9 years old😳 She explained the song's meaning to The 405: "It's about realizing that you've been through dark tunnels in life, but still walking forward, both feet strong. We are all lucky to be alive, it's an important thing to remember." I’ve talked to people that says they don’t like watching her live because of her hand movements, to me that’s one of the things that makes her so unique and such an amazing artist ❤️ Could you please react to: “Through the eyes of a child” live from Nidarosdomen “All is soft inside” live at KEXP Iceland 2018 A more energetic Aurora “Soft Universe” live from Nidarosdomen

This concert is amazing 🤩

Love Aurora! To answer your question, if your reacting to music from Auroras channel, you shouldn't have problems with copyright because Aurora promotes free use of her music and doesn't copyright strike anything as far as I know. (this is different of course if youre watching a concert of hers that was uploaded to another channel like a radio stations or something)

I see its already been mentioned but didnt your realise that the venue was a Catherdral ? Video's from this concert are rarely copyrighted , or at least in my country UK or i might be just Lucky.

do through the eyes of a child at this concert

It would make a great dry-wet chalk . Excellent choices.

Thanks.Great reaction! When you re talking about her range of styles in her performing, you must try her Leonard covers of Famous Blue Raincoat( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FJrudQmnnxs.html ), or So Long Marianne ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i4CgyVMJiEk.html ). Her covers are some of her best live performance. The Beatles, Imagine Dragons, Dylan, Massive Attack are others. Enjoy the ride, it is good for the soul.

No doubt, Aurora, Diana and Floor (was excluding her cause she has 20 years on them :P) are the most exciting talent, singing wise, since Whitney... Damned BBrown .....

I myself for some reason, always picture ( try to fit her) AURORA doing a bit Part in a one time concert or " special guest" singing the parts of Mother in The Wall. Be great to go see Roger Waters doing the Wall with "special guests

Speaking of pairing Aurora with other artists, I will recommend you to react to: 1. Aurora invited French artist Pomme to contribute to her song Everything Matters, both with singing and with the lyrics. Pomme has a very high standing in France and is a great match, her register is a bit lower than Aurora's. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yX8bYwl9rKc.html . 2. Aurora's fellow citizen Sondre Lerche asked her to sing with him on his song Alone In The Night and it is a wonderful song and a very likeable video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XSK1Bt9O0Pw.html .

Thank you! And now try Angelina Jordan, another Norwegian artist that is AMAZING!

It's funny how much pronouncing, or spelling, Nidarosdomen tripped me up back in the day too. Since then, let's just say I've had some obsessive practice. So, in short....it goes like this..... Knee - Duh - Roast(minus the t) - Dough - Men Does that help? Who knows! But good luck!

Her production crew rules, but I think the church is doing some work here?🧚🏻🍎

Babymetal is hot right now they are awesome
