This is the best live vocal performance I've ever seen.
Aurora Hold my herbal tea a capella through the eyes of a child

I'm 52...seen probably 35 plus different National/ World known artists/ bands....100 plus concerts....from Moody Blues, Niel Young, Black Sabbath, Rush, Pat Benatar. Even Britney Spears( took daughter, don't judge)........and it's in my top 3 .
Aurora is The ONLY Artist I have not seen that I want to see. Only Artist that I am actually excited to be waiting for new album to drop.
You are one of the only reactors I've seen that saw what he was doing as love. I always took it that way too!
I saw it as the girl trying to rationalise it
She read a newspaper article about mercy killing in which the husband killed his terminally ill wife out of mercy. Being the hopeless romantic that she is, she saw the love in the act. And being the emotionally controlled and beautiful creature she is, she presents us with this ultimate act of love from the point of the view of the "victim". And here delivery and control is so perfect, we can almost feel the woman's ghost walk right though us.
Good take on her. Good comments too. I read some other comments lately that I don’t see here. I think you like. She grew up in a small place in Norway and was bullied sometimes for being autistic. Her two older sisters were her friends and protectors then and now. She spent all her free time in the forest. Just her and the animals. By age 3 or so, she had made up a lot of songs and was writing them a few years later. Until she was well into her career, she was terrified of the stage. She would whisper the value of Pi, 3.1416........., which she had memorized through several hundred decimal places, to calm down. Check out some of her interviews on line.
Thanks for the notes! Definitely adds some depth!
Aurora is not autistic. Her classmates teased her for her "weird" behavior. That's why they called her autistic. There is an interview about it.
@@nattykds2256 thanx for telling me. I just read that a few times. She’s so special. I love her. Is it true about her reciting the value of pi to ? places to calm down?
@@nattykds2256 BTW She is so cute in her interviews; isn’t she?
@@garyrobb5341 I read it too, but I'm not sure, sorry xd
This performance was the first time i hear this Angel of Norway and since then i am in her World. She gives us so much. Yes her body expressions besides her voice is her mark. But i must say my thing with her is the eyes. Oh man! Direct line to her soul.
Her ocean eyes .. Yes. Agree
You are absolutely right about Aurora being a beautiful soul. Thats just what she is. I dont go a day without listening to some of Auroras songs. I love this one, her artistic performances of this, "It Happened Quiet", and more, are amazing. Maybe her cover or "Teardrop" next? Or "God is a woman"? They are amazing. Thank you again, Tyler 👍
The guitar player is Odd Martin Skålnes. He was part of her band in her early days and still does acoustic performances with her sometime.
Oh, you mention at the end her quality of pure emotion, etc. Her song All Is Soft Inside addresses just that quality. And her KEXP in Iceland live performance is exquisite and high energy. czcams.com/video/IS2iVcGz_Ok/video.html
Yes! My very favorite performance
I love that performance, too!
Thank you for another great Aurora reaction. I have subscribed because of your Aurora reactions. I hope you can add Aurora's songs Gentle Earthquake and Churchyard live at KEXP to your Aurora list, as her KEXP performance is phenomenal, and It Happened Quiet live at Nidarosdomen a truly iconic concert. I have chose these songs because you said in a previous Aurora reaction that you played the drums and percussion. On the studio versions these songs Aurora played the drums and percussion herself. She also played the drums and percussion on the studio version of The Seed, Daydreamer, Forgotten Love, Dance on the Moon, Animal, In Bottles and Hunger.
You absolutely nailed it, spot on. You are the first person to listen and feel enough to grasp the purity and love enough to go there on their own.
nobody compares!
Imagine she's singing from the perspective of a beloved pet. /l\ Be well.
You should check out Wardruna, they even have a performance with aurora
I dont think he is ready for that yet :p
Just found your channel, and you are so awesome! I love your reactions, and thank you so much for really seeing Aurora for the amazing talent and beautiful soul she is❤️
Glad you’re enjoying the channel!
Aurora's back vocalists are also very very good.
i loved the list of reactions you mentioned in the beginning =)
Aurora organized and is hosting an online music festival this Wednesday, July 1. She will be performing one of her songs that she has never played live before. The festival is titled the Exist For Love Festival. Check her social media for details.
She is my Queen, old soul in a young body.
Aurora read about mercy killing in real life,she was so taken about the story so she wrote this song
Briliant Buddy Holly is gutiarr player
Yes!!!!! I don't know why anybody doesn't see this. She even says "I killed you for mercy"....people can interpret it the way that they want to but for me it really is not so difficult to figure out. Perhaps it can apply to different situations too, though.
Lol,second time watching this, I need to do playlists of already watched. Hugs
I know someone has probably already commented about this but the guitarist is Odd Martin, he was a writer and producer on some of her work, and left the band to focus on other projects. He'll still occasionally do performances with her and collab on some songs. I can't remember the name of his other band. I believe they cowrote Murder Song, which was released with two versions (acoustic and one a bit more electronic).
just subscribed to your channel coz of your Aurora reactions! more plsss
Thanks for subscribing! Make sure you're subscribed to AlphaTyler Reacts (my full reaction channel) as well for even more Aurora reactions!
Super good reaction. Hugs
SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A TERMINAL DISEASE AND YOUR LOVED ONE PUTS YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY I WOULD THINK ABOUT IT THIS WAY BUT HER PERFORMANCE IS SO INTENSE IFTED SO EXPRESSIVE SHE IS UNIQUE BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE GIFTED AND WISE
SHE WAS LIKE 19 IN THIS SHOW SO EMOTIONAL SOME SORT OF PROTECTING YOUR LOVED ONES SPARE THEM FROM ALL THAT MIGHT BE BAD BE SAFE YALL
You are all tough criminals until AUROA starts singing.
Making people think this much about a lyric is pure art and definitely intentional by Aurora. She often tells people that she will not explain the lyrics. It is up to people to take their experience into the interpretation of the lyrics. And watching different reactions to her music you see the different takes on what the lyrics mean. So her art works as intended.
Please the next one "Helvegen" with Wardruna!!!
He's Odd Martin Skålnes, her friend and producer. He also co-wrote a few songs with her (this one being one of them). He left her "band" if we can call it that in 2016 to start his solo stuff also stopping producing her songs.
You should also react to another amazing norwegian artist: Susanne Sundfør, and the song "When the lord"
Btw Aurora is one of my favourite artists, have seen her live a few times in my hometown :)
My first thought when listening to this song was a married couple where the husband shoots the wife as an assisted suicide either due to something like terminal cancer or perhaps mental illness.
Aurora has said that its a love song - it’s dark and in some ways evil. This song deals with the difficult or hard things we must sometimes do/suffer to protect the people we love ❤️
Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!
He is Odd Martin who was her first guitarist. He left and Fredrik replaced him. Odd Martin actually joined Aurora for her recent NRK P3 Christine Festival performance.
If you want a song with even more epic poetry, I suggest "Infections of a Different Kind". It has a hopeful undertone in a work with every word having a golden value, The last almost whispered phrase is to remember , and to be really honest I want to see your face when you hear it. On top of that it takes place as an outdoor concert deep in a forest. Which also has a meaning. @.

This is poetry... In this context ( the Nobel Peace Prize Concert) I think it is to draw the attention to the victims of war. So, "He" - is the Universal soldier who is killing for some shady reason of "mercy". In other context Like in the concert in Nidarosdomen she performs the song in a different way because there it is about another victim.
There are several interpretations to this song. One really direct and personal one. But also one where "he" is mankind and she herself represents nature. We kill mother nature. We know we do that. But we continue. Fits well inte her eco-agenda
There can be several interpretations but this song stemmed from a "mercy killing" dealing with a husband killing his wife because she was terminally ill. It is a very controversial topic yet today. Aurora dug into it really deeply and showed us what pain that the husband went thru to do it and what he was doing....releasing his wife, the woman that he loved from all of the pain that she was going thru. His emotional pain and later on punishment could even be said to be even greater than his wife's pain and suffering. The wife was reaching out beyond the grave to offer him comfort, compassion and support because he might and did go to prison because of it....at least I look at it that way.
@@elizabethlessner2911 I really do know and appreciate what you tell us about Auroras background to writing the song. And maybe you are right in saying that's what it is for Aurora also now. What I try to say is that with the growing awareness of what we do to Nature and Climate (and also Aurora's seed song) I think (But have no proof) that the alternative interpretation might even be growing with the singer herself. Whichever is the truth the text fits extremely well also to that interpretation
I took it as a mercy killing
i dont think you are off the mark with your theory, i know Aurora has said its a sad love song but she has also said that her songs can change meaning from when she wrote them to where she is in life today. I like to add my own theory that the woman represent mother earth and the man with the gun represent the human race
I can definitely see that interpretation as well!
Imagine someone you love, but that is really really sick, a mercy exit.. its atleast one way of prossessing this song
Aurora says he's A very nice guy. That guy you were asking about.
She is singing about war mercenaries
Her live performances are crazy good! I know i've asked a few times and hope it on your list but All is Soft Inside Live @ KEXP please !! czcams.com/video/IS2iVcGz_Ok/video.html Its about being emotional, and how if everyone was free with their emotions, and accepting of our sadness,anger, happiness the world would be a better place!
Röyksopp - What Else Is There REACTION?
You should listen to the studio version also. Its completely different to this, with some different music some places. I think some reactors make a big mistake by mostly only reacting to her live performances. She is a portent live, one of the best, and her songs sound always different, but the studio versions are also perfectly well crafted gems of recorded music with theyre own set of sttrenghts and vision. Not a critique, just two worthless cents.
Odd Martin....writing credit with Aurora on the song. It takes time, sometimes it is best to read the verse before reacting to an Aurora song. That is the case with this remarkable one of a kind song. She read about a mercy killing and this is the result.
He won't stop clicking the pause...😑
No he won’t.
For me it's about domestic abuse
This is a cry from the victim of partner abuse STILL defending their abuser from beyond the grave!
Oh, he did it all for mercy. He cried afterwards. You don't understand, he's really lovely and means well.
Puh-leeze!
Are all these small pauses that reaction youtubers do because of copyright stuff ? It completely breaks the flow of a song and ruins it, especially on first listens.
It is just stupidity. It completely breaks the flow of an art form thar relies on time, and it is the complete killing of a first time experience. If you cant do something right, dont do it.
Basically, yes. I had three vids taken down yesterday for copyright issues, so I paused more in my videos yesterday to test the timing a bit more and see where the issue is.
@@Dacre1000 Rude as fuck and completely unnecesary. Don't go around spreading this type of negativity on other people's channels. Jesus, one would think that being kind to one another would be a BASIC CONCEPT TO FOLLOW.
Listen again man.. the full song.. not hacked up to pieces..
Aurora has said that its a love song - it’s dark and in some ways evil. This song deals with the difficult or hard things we must sometimes do/suffer to protect the people we love ❤️
