Voice Teacher Reaction to Aurora - The Seed [NatGeo Earth Day Eve 2021] 

Fun fact: Her parents used a bell to "call her home" from the woods...!! Rather that yelling like "Aurora, it's dinner!!!".... :-)

She's the fifth element and must be protected.

I cannot express how much I love this human. She is truly unique and special. She has become my favorite of all time and I'm 49

"When the last tree has fallen, and the rivers are poisoned, only then will we realize....we cannot eat money" Cree Indian proverb (from the original Aurora video)

Perceptive reaction. This performance feels like Aurora (as well as her insanely wonderful backers) are channeling the cries of the earth itself. If this isn't an anthem for environmentalists everywhere, I really think it should be.

Aurora is Faith , Hope , Love & Pixie Dust all magically wrapped together

Thank you for not pausing every 20 seconds to say, "that is amazing".

The tone of this version of the song is almost mournful like it's the last desperate cry for people to listen, almost sad. The produced music video version has a tone like a war dance and a warning to those in power. Shows just how amazingly diverse she can be with the very same song, let alone her whole array of different music. Innocent earth child or force of nature warrior.

The orginal song is more "hard" and it hit me more. Absolute recommend it!

I just discovered Her last night on accident and I can’t get enough!!! She seams otherworldly and her band is so amazing.

Aurora grew up in the forest. A fairly remote area where she often got lost and would be gone for many hours. She was taught how to navigate by the stars so she could find her way home.

You MUST listen to her proper version of this. It is incredible! This slower version is incredible too but her original is insane

This version has a very shamanistic, norse feel to it (singing in Norwegian would complete the scene). I love it!

Another Incredible song by Aurora "Soulless Creatures" live in Bergen

Aurora also never really sings a song each time the same... she put a bit of difference in each time.

Wonderful that you have found Aurora. I call her my Queen of the North. Love from Sweden :-)

What a wonderful reaction. ❤️💜💚💙💛

Good reaction.. but I think her great bandmembers deserves a comment too.. especially Silja Sol whos lifting the sound into another dimension.. anyway.. thumb up..

Check her live performance at KEXP(her energy was amazing) or HAIK (a whole concert at the forest) ..

Aurora has this magic about her, that I can't really explain but her music hits deep. I'm often brought to tears in the best, most healing and soulful way possible. Sometimes I listen to her just to have a good cry and feel so cleansed afterward. She will always have a special place in my heart ❤

Aurora is my Viking warrior goddess. I will follow her into battle tomorrow. Also, grey hair adds texture. Your greys are coming in a whole lot better than mine. You look amazing.

I think this is the fourth version I’ve heard of this song and even though they are very different they are all so beautiful❣️

Great AURORA reaction!

Lovely reaction! She is a force of nature in human form. Her studio versions are great, but her lives are amazing!

Loved this reaction... She never ceases to amaze.

Thanks for the reaction 💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿💚💚💚

If you ever have time, you should look up the HAIK-documentary and concert with Aurora! Then you will have a better understanding of who she is, and how she is as a person and as an artist! Beautiful! ❤ I think it lasts for 50 min or so...

Loved this reaction, hugs from Sweden

The anthem for our only home. the Earth. I love this woman (and the hole group) so much.. Tack så mycket för att du gör dessa fantastiska reaktioner av min själhelare AURORA. Hope you react to AURORA LUCKY IN NIDAROSDOMEN some day my inspiration song ro live. 💚💚💚

I am convinced that she must glow at night while flitting around the forests sprinkling her magic....i love Aurora! ☮ ❤️

Yes. A beautiful singer and a beautiful song.

I love this version of her song....the beautiful woodland creature in her element. So beautiful. I recommend you also check out the MV to this song. Very powerful!!

So many different words are used to describe this wonder of a person. Fairy priestess is great. As always, thanks for a wonderful reaction, just wonderful. I really think you should see the official video for your own sake, it is a "must see" imo. Hope, hope, hope you will bring more Aurora to your channel, you are among the persons out there who can really do her justice with your wonderful comments.

Another Special person from Norway. Aurora's expressive performances are amazing, the music, the lyrics, the girl herself all make for a wonderful listening and visual experience. Angelina, and Aurora came into my life last summer, I have listened to both of them each night since. Two different styles, two remarkable young girl singers who give their all to their music. We are so lucky to have them with us. Thank you for your professional reactions to them both. You are extremely well spoken, and a pleasure to listen to. Take care. 😄XX

What a masterpiece!!!!! 🤩🤩 You should also check out the official music video 🙂🙂

Thats so funny to see Aurora🇧🇻 at the fortest where she played when she was a child because that's no so far where we live. But more fun is that Aurora and my wife are realated😄 - and they are very look alike🥰

Yea. i like this settings and voice harmonies incredible Aurora voice. BTW: Aurora often has very different settings for one song. This is more slowed down then original - but it is more fitting to place and this ave. Love both versions. Also agree that she is always very "into" song, you can see her emotions and she also is able pass emotions on others. It is most unique IMHO. Thx for reaction.

This clip should be played at the next sitting of every nation's parliament. Aurora shine as bright as the lights she is named for. Just like other passionate young women (Greta Thunberg, Malala Yusafzai, Jacinda Ardern) with a positive message, she is a beacon of hope for the future. Watch "The River" and "Daydreamer" from the 2019 HAIK concert which was also recorded in this forest. I am not aware of any other current lyricist who writes as brilliantly as Aurora does on important, sensitive issues.

As much as I like the original of this, this performance realy took me all the way. Thank you Valerie for the great comments and honesty even in your emotions for this wonderful artist.

There was a tremendous amount of emotion in this performance. A great reaction and your thoughts on conservation were also very thought provoking.

I'm from Gig Harbor, WA so I get what you are saying about the forests, I love it.As for Aurora she has become my new favorite female artist along with Eva Cassidy.

Absolutely perfect!

Aurora is a gift humanity don't deserve.

Great reaction:) Greets from Finland! Btw. I also grew up playing in the forest:)

You should check out the official music video! It is a powerhouse, much more powerfull and beautiful images of mother nature! Loved your reaction, ones again❤ Thank you V! Love from 🇧🇻

Now ðat's a cool hair A magic being reacting to another

♥️Your reaction. 🌱

Thank you for another great Aurora reaction!! The Seed is an amazing song, she has another version of this song at the HAIK concert wich is amazing, and also set in the forrest together with a choir. Check it out!! Hoping for «murder song (5,4,3,2,1) at the nobel peace price concerts next🤞🏻

Hi! I'm hap from Cambodia, I heard her songs it's really carefully so excited she actually beautiful singer, I love her songs she could be the best of me fan.

Not a Single dislike Just impressive

Lyrics: Just like the seed I don't know where to go Through dirt and shadow I grow I'm reaching light through the struggle Just like the seed I'm chasing the wonder I unravel myself All in slow motion Mmh mmh mmh You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money oh, no Oh no Suffocate me So my tears can be rain I will water the ground where I stand So the flowers can grow back again 'Cause just like the seed Everything wants to live We are burning our fingers But we learn and forget Mmh mmh mmh You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayer Feed me sunlight, feed me air Feed me truth and feed me prayers Mmh mmh mmh You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no You cannot eat money, oh no When the last tree has fallen And the rivers are poisoned You cannot eat money, oh no Oh no

only Mother Nature can open for NG earth day! thx!

I recently discovered you channel and I like the way you seem to enjoy all the music you hear, no matter what genre it is. I agree with you Aurora is an extraordinary singer, songwriter and choreographer. The way she feels the songs and not just sing them are amazing to watch. Personally, I love music of many genres but I want to listen to music that moves me in some way, either make me feel happy and want to dance or just in aww of the beauty of the song. And we do have a lot of wonderful and talented young artists here in Norway like Aurora, Emilie Nicolas, Sigrid and many, many more. But I want to share some of our talented artists that has been in the music business for a long time, and here are some of my favorites. I have picked artists who do have many songs in English or only sing in English. We also have many talents who sing in only in Norwegian too, but I have not added them to this list. I will start with Sissel Kyrkjebø, she is a Norwegian soprano singer with an angelic voice. She has been blessing our ears with songs here in Norway since the early 1980’s and I've seen you have recently been introduced to her music. She is a diverse singer who will try different genres but her voice shines the most in classical and slow songs. Here are some of the few favorites of mine. Sissel Kyrkjebø with “Pie Jesu» live at Oslo Spektrum in 2002 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-otHPPBVtjJg.html Sissel Kyrkjebø with «Your Raise Me Up” from a Norwegian TV concert in 2020 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nOZKuRRnrg8.html Another artist is Jarle Bernhoft. He started his career as a singer and guitarist in a rock band called Span, but he has been a solo artist since 2008. His solo music is more pop, blues and soul inspired. He sometimes tour as a one man band where he uses loop pedals to create the sound of a full band. He also tour with the band Bernhoft and the Fashion Bruises. I like both settings with and without a band on stage with him. Jarle Bernhoft (or just Bernhoft) with “C’mon Talk” and "Don't Let Me Go" Audiotree Live Session 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XoofDQvKSJg.html 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WxIiQzp0E-Q.html Bernhoft & The Fashion Bruises with "Lookalike" live at Oslo konserthus in Norway 3. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GZpAFddHrSI.html The band Madrugada with Sivert Høyem on vocals is an alternative rock band who gave out their first album in 1999.The band went their own ways in 2008 and Sivert Høyem has had success in Norway as a solo artist. The band did however get together again in 2018 for a few live shows. One of their biggest hits is a duet with another amazing singer, Ane Brun. Sivert Høyem is known for his dark and haunting voice. Madrugada featuring Ane Brun on vocals with the song "Lift Me" back in 2005 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UzxPq0eOjnk.html Sivert Høyem with "Prisoner of the Road" live on SVT1 (Swedish TV channel) 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KTmVTiRnlFA.html Sivert Høyem with the song "Majesty" live at Acropolis in Athens. This song is from the album "Grit" by the band Madrugada released in 2002. 3. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5P4n6wITFYo.html Another favorite of mine is Thomas Dybdahl. He started his career as a guitarist in the jazz/pop inspired band called Quadraphonics. He decided to go solo and released his first EP in 2000. He is also the singer in the pop group The National Bank and he has made film music for several movies. I will describe his music as blues with influences from pop, soul and jazz. Thomas Dybdahl with "Love Is Here To Stay" live at St. Pancras Old Church in London, UK. This is an acoustic performance. 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FmstiBAgjVs.html Thomas Dybdahl with the song "But We Did" Live from NRK Studio 1 in Norway. This is with a full band. 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P_sD5JK0d0Y.html Unni Wilhelmsen is another hidden gem: She released her first album in 1996 called “To Whom it May Concern” where the first song I have chosen is from. She has said many times that one of her biggest inspiration in music is Joni Mitchell whom she also has been doing covers of. She has been releasing albums in both English and Norwegian. Sadly, there’s not very much good quality live recordings to find of her on RU-vid but I have found two of her biggest hits. Unni Wilhelmsen featuring Henning Kvitnes with the song "Won't Go Near You Again" 1. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QlcntQOzBzU.html Unni Wilhelmsen with "Anything 'Bout June" live for Låtskriver'n (Radio Station) 2. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fawXyAHS99M.html This is just a few of my favorite “older” Norwegian artists, there is many more I could include, and if I had chosen artist who just sing in Norwegian the list would have been even longer. I hope you will enjoy all these talented musicians.

If you wanted to listen to a live alternate version(different type of vibe but very powerful) of this, she performed it at an event known as the HAIK Festival and the videos are pretty easy to find. Have a good one!

Nice....and nice to know something personal about you.

❤️

It would be great if at some point you could showcase the painting and give a little about it and the setting depicted. I know that it is hard to light , etc. but our Scandinavian interest is certainly part of this channel, with our favorite Norwegian singers! (and others, of course...)

What an ending ❤

Aurora The Seed, 2021 version is more calming than the original. Beautiful. But in some way I like the original better, as this was more like a primal scream, a wakeup call to us all.

Awesome video.

She is Gaia...

This where all started , a snippet of I had a dream from 10th grade : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3MS7iax8qyI.html . Uploaded on FB by a friend and found by a manager in Made Management ... there is a full audio of the song on YT. This is Aurora's first major concert at Øya festivalen 2014 , she was only 18 yo , ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QFrK3QgRqFI.html , enjoy!

So how does it feel to encounter, even by video and music alone, a real life forest nymph?

My Gosh! So that's what they mean when they say music is an art ?

Aurora’s English is pretty clear for a non-native English speaker. İ thought it would be even more so to a native speaker…is it not so? Wondering why the person reacting in this video needed subtitles..? Any idea?

What part of Sweden is that picture from?

Hello , please react to Bobby Mcferrin - Spain live in bratislava 1986 . Last year he got NEA jazz masters award. He also did dont worry be happy song :)

This is one of the very few cases where I actually also recommend to watch the music video as it gives a much stronger message due in the productions and pictures. It can be hard to hear the exact words but she sings "You cannot eat money - oh no": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_Mc_OM5oNA8.html

If you really want to see the living legends then watch out mahesh kale Melbourne, Kaushiki Chakraborty exquisite afternoon I'm damn sure you will be flabbergasted and speechless 😶😁❤️❤️ love from India

I'm Latvian and we were pagans. We have that special connection to nature too. In a forest I feel like I breathe different, I walk different, it's like going home after a long time away. In a way it is. I think the pagans had it very figured out and sadly the world moved away from respecting nature.

I hope you will one day react to Susanne Sundfør. She is the one who totally changed Norwegian pop music to be what it is today. A pity that everyone jumps on the popularity wave of Aurora and Angelina and forgets the GREAT in Norwegian music There are many videos on Yt, both live and audio .. enjoy!

She is as vulnerabe as finely blown glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you apart and heals you at thee saame time. Who doess that? She is a siren in the form of a wood nymph. Resistance is futile.

pls react to the song Ehsase Khoobie by Mehrshad Aghili

I liked her up until she admitted that she is a witch.. I run from the occult or anything close to it...
