- We should always be ourselves. Aurora creates another hit that I just melt into, and resonate with so much. I'm quirky, weird and expressive, and I don't want that to change. Girl, I relate!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Aurora performing "Cure For Me" for the first time.

#Aurora #Reaction #TheCharismaticVoice
-------------
Fun fact: She drew all the different faces on the masks herself while chilling at home. She used a box of little kids colored markers to do it 😆
Argh! I genuinely thought I couldn’t love her more and now I am THRILLED to be proven wrong!! 😍
That fact is actually Adorable
Omg really!? That’s a fun fact right there
Lol, that's so Aurora! Love her! 😄💓
She's an amazing artist too??? What the 😂
According to some recent interviews that AURORA has given, she sees this as a funny and playful song, but a playful song with a sincere and honest message behind it
Another lovely song from Aurora worth checking out is Exist For Love. It's incredibly beautiful and serene, both lyrically and musically. It gives me the chills and makes me well up every time I listen to it
YEAH PLEASE! WE NEED IT SOON! Is so good it made me cry at first listening.
When i listen to it i felt like i wad falling in love with someone i don't even know, exist lol
I’m walking down the aisle to exist for love ❤️
We want to talk about the live in Bergen? I cry every time
Agree. The Disney Princess vibes come pouring out on that one
Shes adorable! I love how she showed off her 'ticks' (head shakes etc) conscientiously. They used to be involuntary.
Fun fact, she hand painted all the masks. Because of course she did 😄
Humperdoo! Love your tapdancing.
@@Kraakesolv yay!
Is she painted that mask like really? Omfg
@@damarjatipanuluh2511 she did all of them. There is a making off clip on her channel
Haha I think they are still involuntary, you can totally tell when they are forced or not (like this video), and of course it was for the point of the song!
Your observations are great. Yes, I heard the parallel 5ths, backing vocal placements, even the quirky synth at the end. You’re one of the few reactors who have in-depth analysis skills. Great job -fun song.
Thank you, Dennis! I try, but sometimes I miss a lot of things the first time.
For sure she definitely is, and I too really appreciate that about Elizabeth @TheCharismaticVoice as I have been a classically trained musician ever since my mom began teaching me to play the piano & singing in the children's choir @ our church way back in kindergarten! From there I progressed into scoring the highest score in the history of musical theory and aptitude tests given to elementary/junior high students when I was entering the 6th grade almost 3 decades ago, and I began playing my dads old trombone, and from there things really began to blossom for me musically as I got into jazz and orchestral performances which involved me learning valves and the baritone and tuba out of necessity for the symphonic/concert band as well as being a part of the small group that would join the strings in concert, as well as the orchestra pit which was always a ton of fun. Probably my fondest memories of performance are follows: 1. Bass and Lead Trombone in Jazz band
2. Marching with a Sousaphone be it in on the field for games, competitions, or in parades and the goofy fun we Tuba players would have adding visually to the drum cadences, and 3. All other Lead Trombone/Tuba performances and the cool places it's taken me, and how much I've learned over the years that took me well beyond anything I ever learned from my limited experience in choirs here and there, but it definitely gave me the skillset to be able to know and innerstand how to become a better singer over time, and to make it a work in progress as I continue to this day to understand the intricacies of all beautiful, and sometimes super intensely coarse things in terms of vocals.
@@TheCharismaticVoice I love you 😍
@@thehunt4truth570 'innerstand' ... is that you being clever by twisting the word? If so, bravo! R (Australia)
@@TheCharismaticVoice he’s right you know … you are the best vocal analyst for AURORA 🙂🦋🐚🎭✨
My daughter's have danced to her music for contemporary solo pieces for the last three years. She is beyond amazing. This however is quite different...it's still good.
Do you have any videos of her dancing? :)
Nice.
I'm genuinely infatuated with Aurora. She's just _magic_ 😍
"I love that this feels like such a celebration of being weird and quirky and creative"
This is probably the most accurate description of the feeling this song and video gave me. I was not able to find the right words to describe it, but this is spot on!
The sea shell in the opening shot is a nod to her “Exist for Love” video. Her first love song.
Aurora's music has definitely gotten me through some dark times where hope was miniscule and the Light was dim. I believe she is a beacon for many.
I heard the song Cure for Me was written once Aurora found out about Gay Conversion Therapy being at thing 🏳️🌈
Yes, I heard an interview she did, saying that's what started the idea for the song. (And the widening of her eyes + the tics in the choreography remind me of Electro Convulsive Therapy treatments.... Though I'm sure that's just me reading into it too much.)
She very much stands up for all of the LGBT community.
@@erinnicole2018 She truly does. I think it's just innately woven into her, being a voice for the voiceless, for minorities, for the underdog, ect.
Aurora mentioned several times that one of the major inspiration sources for her had always been Enya, so I assume that’s where Aurora’s ideas and keenness in mastery of multilayered songs come from. Enya can be proud of such an immaculate successor of her heritage )))
I didn't know that. Thanks for the info. But now that I know that, it makes sense. Both convey something spiritual or transcendental
I love to hear that, I feel like Enya doesn't get as much respect as she should for being an incredible songwriter and creator!
i would recommend So I Could Find My Way by Enya. Excellent music and lyrics
Inspiração foi da música antiga brasileira chamada 'Aquarela do Brasil', se ouvir vai perceber a semelhança do som
BTW Aurora was training as a ballerina and modern dancer for 11 years from about 5 to 16... so her ability to move in ensemble is hard won - she can control herself even as she lets go like nobody else. --and tbh, your responses and sound/singing awareness is bar none the best i have ever encountered (and my brother was coached at La Scala)
There’s a really cool alternative version of this song. An acoustic version that moves into a full blown bosa nova. Her songs are so adaptable and even stripped back to a simple guitar and vocal, still sound incredible.
ooo I'm intrigued; I'll give it a listen
I'm intrigued! Can you point me to what to search for?
@@sissy021
Anything Auroramusic posts on CZcams. Good place to start looking.
@@sissy021
I’ll start you off. Then you’re on your own.

Aurora is what artistic expression is supposed to be. Pure soul, radiant and unafraid. Uncensored by judgement or material desire. A nebula of scale and a supernova of intensity. Every time I see her perform, I can't believe it. And this music isn't even "my thing". But how can it not be. God bless her.
Elizabeth has an aura all her own.
That she does, my friend, and once you have been "Zharoffed" there is no cure for you. Good.
My aura is a unicorn! Thanks Seth! ❤
Yes more Aurora! She's one of my favorites and this is a fun track!
I love how AURORA's playfulness slips into you too, it shows
Hi Elizabeth, I'm glad you're re-releasing this video after clearing the copyright issue. This playful song was FUN to watch and the choreography, especially the hand movements, were amazing. Thank you, Elizabeth!!! 💙
Thank you, Kirby! I absolutely love the art direction of this song, and it is super poppy. Not the usual Aurora.
@@TheCharismaticVoice This will not be how the new coming album will sound, here is Aurora in an interview:
youtu .be/YytOgPVXqK0&t=3m24s
"Sonically what can you tell us about kind of ehh, is this (Cure For Me) kind of representative of what you're exploring on the next record. Is it a sign of what's to come?"
"Ehh No! It's very NOT how the album sounds, which is very exciting. But it has something in common with the album, that I am experimenting with new things and new sides, which I am enjoying. Because it is easy for me to make a really "Aurora" album you know, like that feels like nature and Mother Earth. It is very easy for me to do that because it comes so naturally for me, so I have been *really* enjoying just doing something new this time, doing something different. Because this is my third...and a half....album, and it's about time, you know, in my mind I needed to just play around and do something different, and for me music has always been extremely serious and no fun. It's been very like very serious, and I always write very serious things, and I can see myself like standing on stage every night for an hour and being like really sad all the time, because all my songs are so filled with so much sadness, you know. I just wanted to make an album for myself that had a bit more playfulness and cheekiness and wildness. It's very exciting, I'm very excited to share the album with you, and it will come out this year."
I recommend you watch this simple piano version of "Cure For Me" she did on a livestream, it might not be as "fun" as the original, but it is very beautiful, I like it better:
youtu .be/f2avKa4iMEY&t=55s
The livestream also contains 3 more beautiful piano songs: 05:45 "Make You Feel My Love" (Bob Dylan cover), 10:09 "Runaway" and 16:53 "Exist For Love"
@@TheCharismaticVoice why are you shaking your head or blinking your eyes rapidly some times during this video. just because i am curious
.
I vote Aurora for a Teatime Interview, if possible.
Maybe this is out there, but the defiant individuality expressed in the lyrics is very heavy metal. "The glorious teachers are no use for creatures who knows how to play with the gods" is almost Dio-like, but the bouncy electronica sound and Aurora's smooth etherial voice make this a playful aria as opposed to a snarling anthem. Either way it's catchy as heck! Also, Mrs. Zharoff, anyone who wants you to change is officially off the intellectual roll call.
i would pay for that metal cover
Also, is it just me, or does the thumbnail make it seem like Mrs.Zharoff is doing the old Daniel Bryan "Yes" chant?
@@oglschmitt YES! YES! YES!
my favorite line of the song.
@@jazoon7249 Same here. Can totally relate.
That was so much fun watching this with you. I laughed and cheered all the way through the video the first time I saw it. It was fun to read that she purposefully included all the hand movements, twitches and facial expressions she gets criticized for. So much meticulous work to create that video. And, having watched your reaction I now appreciate it twice as much because of all the subtleties you pointed out!
I'm glad you came back to Aurora, she's amazing as an artist but also as a person, great video
As amazing this song is with it's creativity and playfulness, your comments and analysis are equally amazing!! As a 73 year old classically trained rock musician, I feel that your musical analysis is magnificent. Your facial expressions are precious. I love that you love Aurora. ❤❤❤❤
Aurora loves to listen to sounds all around her and plays with them and experience while also experimenting with them before she incorporates them in her music. She’s one of the most interesting artists I have encountered who does this. It’s like she wants to utilise every new sound she encounters. She’d probably make a great hit with just 2 spoons and a guitar 🥰
Aurora is by far my favourite singer/artist in recent times. I only found her just over a year ago and she leaves me amazed every time I listen to her! The way she lives her music is so beautiful…
My wife picked up on this a few months ago and for my Birthday she presented me tickets to go and see her when she comes to the UK next year!!! I can’t wait to see her perform live!!!
The song and video really highlights how funny AURORA is, as well as her self-effacing sense of humor. SO many nervous smiles and winks as she dances during the video- she's laughing with us.
Aurora might be my absolute favorite reason for being subbed to this channel. I don't think I would have ever had the joy of seeing her perform otherwise and I am extremely grateful.
Aurora is do delightfully individual. She's so quirky and adorable. ❤
Thanks, Justin! ❤
I love her vibe. Her songs are gorgeous and playful. Her choruses are hooky as heck, and her image is really cool and playful. I have Norwegian roots, so i like her even more.
Love it. Aurora is how I discovered you. Arora said in an interview, she loved the dance from Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, and learned it for this video. Watch it again, and you can see a little piece of master Burton throughout. Apologies if this has been posted already... Not enough time to read everything
Infections of a different kind by AURORA!!!
Happy that you reviewed Aurora and enjoy her work! My daughter and I discovered her years ago while watching CZcams Volvo video she sang on. We then began enjoying her music videos and taped performances. She is so talented vocally, with her mostly Nordic techno style, reminding mostly of Bjork, but also in the vane of other alternative rock and pop female singers like Delores O’Riordan, Dido and Sinead O’Connor, to name a few.
But it’s also her authentic presentation during performances; the way she seems to sensitively and emotionally experience every note, that really grips you. Then at other times she playfully, youthfully dances, skips and wiggles about, instantly lightening the vibe, ever entertaining.
She's really good, this girl. Unique, lovely voice and quirky as hell.
Ahh I cried tears of joy watching this video :')
It's so good to see people getting excited and smiling with her music, just like I do! Thank you for being so genuine ^^
I really enjoyed your reaction and in-depth analysis! AURORA is just so authentically herself! She can go in so many musical directions, so I look very much forward to her upcoming album and tour!
Obsessed with Aurora lately. Her live songs are the soundtrack to my 2021 already
I highly recommend her song "Through the Eyes of a Child" (Vevo UK LIFT). It's just gorgeous, raw and emotional.
I love her artistry and individuality, but also her incredible ability to connect us with her art.
YEEES!!! Elizabeth, I was waiting and hoping you'd do this one! I always love seeing you do Aurora breakdowns because you're the only one who talks about how she 'plays' with her voice and puts such an emphasis on physical expression in her performances. The way you broke it down and the special attention you pay to every nuance of a singer and performance is incredible and pays tremendous honor to the artist's intentions. You're such a legend, thank you for this!
Her cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack is quite good. I would recommend that one if you haven't seen it already.
The acoustic version of this track Aurora released is also beautiful, and has a slightly different feel to it.
Great reaction - as always. It would be so wonderful if you did an interview with Aurora - she drinks tea! Have you tried already? If not, why not? ;)
Love to have tea time with her! I'll try harder. Thanks Mario! ❤
@@TheCharismaticVoice Oh, Elizabeth - that would be so, so amazing - to see you two amazing ladies drinking tea and chatting about...well, who knows where that conversation will go!!! :)
@@mariopardillo8618 moths. It will absolutely go to moths at some point 😂 there's also a little making of to this video that completes the experience :)
@@lennethwemyss3713 Ha, ha! I think you may be right!
She also has a bookshelf from her hometown and named it “ssssshelf”
Auroras voice an performance remindes me of the early Kate Bush... Voice, habit, individualty... and both write and produced their music themselve...
My favourite thing about Aurora is her originality. You can always tell when you are listening to an Aurora song, but it can still be totally different from other songs she has sung. Great analysis, as always Elizabeth
Love this. Aurora is amazing. Thank you for another great Aurora reaction & analysis. She is so easy to deep dive into. I hope you do more Aurora videos in the future. Absolutely recommend the whole HAIK concert. You will love The Seed at HAIK it has an extra something special to it. It's been amazing watching Aurora grow into a performer over the years.
This music at a live performance is even better.. few artists are able to do that. She is really impressive.
Hello Elizabeth! I love it when you react and analys my Soulhealer Aurora. Pity that you not do her more often (i know that everybody dragging in you for reactions) She coming soon with new music and i can´t wait. I maintime, react to her song Lucky in Nidarosdomen so much to hear there and analys. Love it Dear!!
She seems to be very proud of this song, for good reasons :D She unleashed her creativity there for sure. It's amazing how she evolved since her debut. Can't wait to listen to her full upcoming album.
When I first discovered this song, I couldn't stop watching the video just for all of the different facial expressions she makes.
I just love watching how much joy you get from these performances!
This song just gets better and better! It's such a middle finger to everyone hating on you I feel so blessed being alive to get to experience Aurora, she's amazing If you don't like Aurora we just can't be friends
Aurora literally makes my inner child happy and says "but hey guy, it's okay for me to still hang out. Let's not be drifting islands so often". I thank her so much. I get the same out of your reactions of enjoyment and ecstasy when you get that good feel and the facial expressions. You both help nurture my inner child and I love it
You need for teatime! She was on the norwegian radio this weekend, and she is just the best pest person to interview, 120% herself and just a good human :D
So glad you’re reacting to her!!! She deserves the recognition!!
Wow - what an outstanding production - Aurora confident to be different! The world would be very dull if we were all the same...
I'd love it if you did a reaction to her song Exist For Love. It's one of the purest love songs ever written and I'd be interested to see if you agree with my feeling that it sounds like the Bond theme that Karen Carpenter never got to do. 😄
One day Elizabeth will cover Karen Carpenter, one day....
@@rickrutledge9363 wow that'd be amazeballz!!!
I don't normally watch reactions more than once, but keep coming back to this one, when it shows up in my recommendations. So much fun!
More Aurora, please. 🙏😀
I could have listened to you do all of Auroras music. You do it so well. Thank you 💚
love love love Aurora. So glad you decided to do this song. Much love! :D
You are accentuating the moments that give me chills. I enjoy your take on songs. Celebrate being yourself!!
I love your break downs of the songs you watch! Thanks for putting these out!
I really loved how much you enjoyed the music, the dancing and production. It was lovely.
You’re so spot on with her intentions. I’ve watched her talk about her work and she’s describing everything the way you’re interpreting it. Great job! Good feels for sure!
More Aurora PLEASE. ❤
I love this pure joy painting on your face as you go deeper and deeper into the song. Makes me smile too! Thanks!
You should definitely react to Through The Eyes Of A Child by her, it's a really ethereal and emotional song and just proves how good of a writer and connected with emotions she is
I’ve been wanting this one! Yay
I LOVED YOUR VIDEO ! I just couldn't stop smiling for 17 minutes ! thank you so much for these analysis, I love aurora too 🥰
thank you so much 😘
I love her music. But what I love even more is how unafraid to be herself she is, it’s so inspiring. I’m so damn excited to go to her concert in November 😅 It’ll be my first concert ever. I’m weird in really similar ways to her and like she said, it’s sad to see how we assume there is something wrong with ourselves if we aren’t like the people in front of us, so it’s cool to see someone so like me in the spotlight.
Aurora brought me here! You said she is overflowing with creativity and that’s a perfect description, so interesting to hear your professional opinions on what flows out of this young lady. Pure talent. Thanks
Loving it here, as well. Thanks for providing your unique perspective.
She's not from this world... An avatar, pure magic
Aurora is an international treasure! Loved your reaction and analysis, as always!
The way you speak and come across is extremely heart warming! You display a big heart, Loving your content thank you :)
I have been waiting for you to do this one. So awesome!
As an autistic person, learning to unmask after years of trying to blend in and be like everyone else, this song hits me so hard and despite it being such a fun song, it makes me cry almost every time! I adore Aurora with my whole heart and the sincerity of her music never fails to floor me
You just made my whole week. Thank you. I really appreciate that you're receptive to the message and have the background to provide such great analysis. Aurora just seems to confuse some people. So glad I'm subscribed to your channel.
The first time I watched this music video I thought it was a lil goofy cuz the dance the people with the masks do with her but it's just kinda grew on me and now this is my favorite song from her and the dance looks pretty good too
I have to tell you, it always amazes me how much you add to any song I hear you break down. I have heard this song countless times, and after listening to your breakdown its like it's a whole new song.
This was such a great analysis. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your Aurora reactions are getting me through the rough patches of my Master's haha.
AURORA is a one of a kind. Not many singer/songwriters like her.
Its been a while since I watched one of your videos - OH IT GOOD TO BE BACK!
I love your reactions to AURORA's songs! You notice lots of interesting details 😀
i really enjoy how you enjoy the magic that is Aurora! really great reaction and analysis, so good!
Nice. Another Aurora reaction and your reactions are so good :). Still remember your previous ones to 2 other her songs. This song in particular is very different then "standard" Aurora, but i like it. Also i liked it more and more with every listen. Now there are already 3 cool versions of this song :).
Awesome reaction!😊👍 I love that Aurora is exploring new sounds! Can't wait for the new album! 🤗
I’ve observed the phenomenon where fans for artists have an almost irrational expectation of an artist to stay within “their mold”. But they’re artists for a reason!
I really love the song and the message, it’s so upbeat and still channels her “energy” very well. (Plus the visuals and choreography add so much as well)
I couldn't agree more Elizabeth, the choreography is absolutely brilliant. This young lady is a consummate artist. And yes, she is celebrating uniqueness and being different.
This was my first time as well hearing this song, never heard her so playful although the message is very important, hope the youth take it
Aurora- The Seed, official music video. Pleeeeease 🙂🙃
It's so powerful and the message needs to be heard. Over and over...
What an absolutely gorgeous voice. Just beautiful
Flapper dance/sound is foreshadowed by the crystal ball with an image of her from the oyster shell in Exist for Love video...Great analysis, thanks.
Always be yourself, unless you can be Aurora, then always be Aurora.
Reminds me of Two of Hearts by Stacey Q… Aurora is a star child from another planet!
theres so many cool version of this she's released. absolutely amazing.
Aurora is not actually a human. She is a mystical magical creature with human like resemblances.
She's hypnotic to listen to and watch.
Aurora and yourself.
Hi Elizabeth! i absolutely love Aurora and your reactions to her videos are outstanding!!! i love how you break her down and give your explanation!!!
OH!!!! and CONGRATS!!!!!
Metal head here, your CH got me on an Aurora kick. thanks for that! and no really thank you.
Great Reaction! Who doesn't Absolutely LOVE AURORA???
More PLEASE!!!
I'm so excited to hear the whole album when it comes out!
It’s funny because people often regard this song as fun and playful, but THIS was the song that finally sort of saved my spirit, heart and mind. Been struggling with being myself for 30 years. You see.. I’m a little witchy, and I cannot help that.. but also grew up religious.. so, you can see how this song would be that final bucket of water over my head. “I don’t need a cure for .•*me*•.” ..… ohhhh! True. I’m just a nice girl who literally doesn’t f with anyone, and just likes my witchy stuff 😅 (not hexes lol , I mean nice witch). What is the harm? I don’t see any 🤔
