It's incredible how AURORA's songs sound the best live. They should go for an acoustic record. It'd be awesome.
Totally AGREED!
Somos 2
Albums sound so overproduced compared to the live stuff. I was a bit disappointed when I finally got the albums.
@@silentone11111111 I'm sad to agree, the live versions are the best for me too. I hope she will do an acoustic album once
I agree, more acoustic, even slightly folksy albums . Ones with that raw spontaneous "one-take" feel ... coupled with those close, personal, cracked and breathy vocals she does so well.
Nothing translates quite like the raw honest beauty of imperfection - especially when delivered as though to an audience of one.
An 'intimate' acoustic album would turn me to a pool of liquid on the floor, and I'm betting I'm not the only one.
I mean, know she can do commercial pop, and you need some of that to fill a hall... But for me it's her unabashed honesty and fearless intimacy where she truly shines. Even in interview she seems to come at life as a child would and it's engrossing... that is her true musical superpower! When she taps that, find ourselves yearning to see the world through her eyes, and when she sings in that mode - well, for a moment I reconnect with the very best vesrion of myself... the child... full of optimism and wonder.
An increasingly fearful world needs that.
It is so impressive how many different versions Aurora and her bandmates are able to make of a song, the one better than the other. You never get tired of a song! They are so talented. They should make a record only with these down stripped versions. Would be the best record ever!
I personally think that all of AURORA songs shine the best when they are played live and with only real instruments. They surely should do a more visceral record with an unplugged vibe.
Yeah this songs deserves to have many versions. I'd say that when music takes you hostage then you do what she does. I think this new generation does not deserve such sophistication and class.
I do prefer her stripped down / acoustic versions over her album versions, shes incredible live 😍😍😍
vidarmedl please yes
Could not agree more! I was tbh a bit disappointed about the over-produced albums as I first heard the stripped down versions of the songs and found them so much more authentic and beautiful. I don't think the records do her incredible work enough justice.
the backup vocals really do complete the song
AURORA + SILJA = PERFECTION
Hugo Carvalho - That is the str8 truth. When I listen to them, it sounds more like a duet than a lead and back up.
they're so talented and complement each other it's a godsend match!!
Yeah their voices harmonize so good together it's heaven for my ears 👼
She is exactly the artist I've been looking for since I was a child
She is the artist and the angel everyone is looking for.
SAME
How about Roland Kaiser?
@@humatex I must admit I laughed out loud. It migth just be what I grew up with but Roland Kaiser is on the complete opposite of every spectrum (Not saying he is bad. Listen to whatever you like)
@@nickkohlmann Glad that my Roland Kaiser brought someone to laugh. Actually it was just a joke ;)
Silja's backing vocals add so much depth to the music and she honestly gives me chills during live and acoustic performances! Thank you for sharing your voice with us 🧠💖
Agreed! LOVE Siljia!!!
They all contribute so much to this music :)
I saw her live as a solist a few weeks ago, it was amazing!
💯
Every cell and atom in this lady is music , heavenly music. Silja is freaking talented too
@_egas calybird find a chapel were you can meet people like your self and then you can have a nice conversation about the lord , which is a fiction figure. Writing crap is all you are able to do ., brainwashed idiot!
Not sure who you're talking to buddy, but as a Catholic I agree, this is heavenly. I love Aurora. I just came from the "Across the Universe" cover and Silja's ( I didn't know her name before) vocals are angelic. All these musicians have mad talent!
I always have to get my headphones when I listen to Aurora
same, it's a must
always!
yeah, I think this is the only reason to make me think about buying better headphones...
@@RapManCZ try the Beyerdynamic DT 770. for the money you can't beat em... and its what Aurora uses in the studio with Magnus ^^
@@thekittencult Studio speakers or headphones aren't everyone's cup of tea, it's meant to be more neutral sounding, without enhancing bass or frequencies that enhance music. But I suppose it is closer to how the artists originally intend for music to be, unless they compensate figuring everyone will be listening on speakers that colour the sound in certain ways.
It is so rare to see main singers letting backup vocal shine. Silja Sol really sound ethereal in this performance. What's in Norwegian waters that produced this soul touching talents?
Feligam Love ❤️ 😊 Aurora 🦚🐉😉🥰💕song! 3:24
This is a great song for her. I'm an atheist, but ...
If there _was_ an earth-mother goddess, then Aurora would be her daughter. When I see her in interviews, she's the definition of a free spirit, she just oozes love and acceptance. She seems to live her life exactly the way she sings.... with passion, wonder and a childlike exuberance. I watch her 'just be' and become engrossed by her beautiful honesty. I find myself yearning to see the world through her eyes.
Then, I feel resentful that I lost that part of me - that I allowed the world to strip me of my childhood innocence and encumber me with fears and obligations ...
... but, then she sings and those pieces of me just seem to dissolve for a moment. I become a calm sea.
And just for one perfect moment, there is only the moment itself, and I am free.
So, thank you Aurora, for your gift. May love and light follow you all of your days.
What wonderful words!
No sentience required for Earth to be like a mother. Our Earth gave and continues to gives us life. That is unless we humans continue pushing things further out of equilibrium, and much like a virus, we kill our host. Genetics, a unique set of ingredients in her upbringing, a bit of fortune, and full support for her endeavors is what lead to this person and the music and enlightenment she's sharing. The world can be full of magical things, and wonderful people. When watching her, I'm sure people wonder if "It couldn't possibly be that easy could it"? It could be... we have the choice to be whatever we want in our lives, to treat others how we want, and there's no age restrictions with making changes to our own lives. We just have to be willing to take a risk, open ourselves up, and give it a try.

@@naaspam1185indeed 😊
I've discovered Aurora just some months ago and her singing is helping me through very hard time in my life (the closest person has passed away this year).
I hope you find peace to heal your broken heart and embrace life's greatest sorrow that can happen , come out the other side with courage to carry on.
It's a trip, I found her at a transitional period as well. I wish I could discover her all over again, the wonder is truly phenomenal
She’s the only singer in the world that gives me chills, love her!
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
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 forgive
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
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
In a place where nothing matters
Feed me truth and feed me prayer (dancing around a shooting star)
And every cell remembers
Feed me sunlight, feed me air (that have taken us this far)
I see images of killer whales
Feed me truth and feed me prayers (sleeping in a desert trail)
Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts
Dreaming of a parallel world where nothing ever hurts
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
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
Oh no

Dear Aurora We need live performances album on Spotify immediately
Wow... sounds so softly. It's like you're saying "please, open your eyes". Love this. Love Aurora. 💟🐘✨
Every time, every fucking time i swear, Aurora and the band amazes me without failing.
Close your eyes, let Aurora take you on a journey.
Talent, peerless.
While listening to her sing you cant help but get the impression that she'll be a legend before shes finished.
Am I the only one who thinks this version is like a child? So innocent and pure. A child so honest that sadness are visible to their eyes.
No righteous anger nor hint of pleading.... just a child saying something plainly and purely but really hits your heart.
Amazing explanation
how are they all so damn talented, my brain does not not understand
My former girlfriend discovered Aurora shortly after we broke up and she says it helped her get over it a lot better, and we often listened to her again when be carefully became friends again (never had any hostility between us, just didn't work out anymore). At some point she even looked exactly like her (same clothing style, same hair colour, same eye colour too) and I am very glad I was introduced to her!
One of the best "acoustic" versions that I've heard of this song thus far. Big love to Aurora & Co - Silja, Magnus, & Fredrik!!
I have been put into a trance by her uniquely beautiful voice and emotion. Such expression and power in this little Angel that resonates into my soul like nothing else has. I feel like she is directly connected to my soul. For me to come out and publicly admit this really says something. I guard my inner feelings behind many layers to not get hurt, and I project confidence and arrogance to hide behind. One day I hope to find a woman that can shake me emotionally like this girl does. Aurora, you are such a blessing to my soul. Thank you
Couldn't agree more..
This is my favorite version of this song. Ethereal!!!
My gosh im in love with Silja and her amazing voice.
If Aurora was a aurora Silja would be a twilight. This two are so distinct and opposite but at the same time bring us the meaning of harmony
Brought tears to my eyes 😢 the most beautiful song with an important message 💙🌏💚
she makes the same song sound new every time, it's amazing 💚🌱
any chance you folks could make a less jolting intro and outro for this type of music, and maybe give it a few seconds before rolling it at the end?
Its like waking up to an alarm clock from a nice dream...
☝🏾☝🏾t h i s ☝🏾☝🏾
HAHA YEAH seriously.
+
Couldn’t have said it any better 🙌🙌🙌
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
Aroura is a genius angel who surrounds herself with the absolute cream of human musical artists.
I would an intimate concert with more songs played like that 😍 with the 4 voices of Aurora, Silja, Fredrick and Magnus, Aurora at keyboard and Fredrick at the guitar. It's perfect.
And Magnus on percussion...
@@Sofia-Lala yes but only on few songs.... I like a lot this atmosphere with just soft guitar, keyboard and the 4 voices... (just for 1 concert)
I have to say that I am impressed with Aurora's incredible focus on everything that is going on here. Just to begin with making this Song so beautifully and so much grounded in reality. The craftsmanship with everyone and specially her. This is beyond professional this is outstanding. So much so that you forget she is gorgeous because that is just not why people come here.
💖💖💖the sound of the borealis!
She’s in Australia so would it be Australis? 🤔
Aurora is amazing, i love her, but look at Silja.. omg girllllll. ♥♥♥ this version of the seeed is precious
My Queen of the North
Absolutely beautiful, very pure voice. Listening to her for the first time and I picked the right song. Back up vocals are gorgeous
Sublime
wow so incredibly talented, amazing such a voice can come from the vocal chords,..... truly inspirational
i'm so happy that Princess Mononoke is making music 😌
Aurora, te amo
Aurora, love u
I love how every version of this song I've heard is its own thing, while all still being the same amazing song. What fantastic artists. Completely in love with Aurora, but man Silja's voice is so damn pretty.
It's amazing how Aurora is also a very good keyboard player, yes they are simple parts but the notes are confident and magical...
Oh, we cannot make honey oh no..
No, we cannot make honey oh no,
When the last bee has fallen
And there is no more pollen
Oh we cannot make honey oh no.
All jokes aside, when i listen to this i get uncontrollable goosebumps and have cried each and every time. Really, really incredible performance.
She is a true artist! Just wow...
Queen of masterpieces and alternative versions 🙌
4:28 omg this is so beautiful
Her voice is truly gift. I always get comfort whenever i hear her song
hearing this live gave me goosebumps
Aurora live is simply amazing.
Wow. I wish I could like this twice.
The Nordic chanting (if that's what it's called) shoots straight into my soul. This is just so sad and beautiful all at the same time. 💕
I've been listening to Aurora's music for a few weeks now and this is her best song alongside Exist For Love in my opinion.......and this is the best version, the best performance she did playing The Seed live.
Aurora is just a breath of fresh air in the music industry 💗
wow I got chills. I like this better than the studio version
Aurora and Magnus are the producers
Aurora herself said that this song was supposed to be angry, and the studio version does show this side of the song, but I think that this particular version, this bittersweet tone, is a better way to get her message in this song across. Sometimes it is more impactful to whisper something than to yell it.
Don't miss out on seeing her live, such an angel!
Oh how I melted at 01:40!! She's like a beautiful drug. Gets me high every time.
she is so beautiful
an angel, literally an angel
This song touches me on a such a deep level - It’s So Angelic, So Beautiful, So Heartfelt, So Sad, and Yet So Powerful in its message! 💕
Thank you 🙏 for sharing your special gift to the world - your Angelic voice truly is The Aurora, passing on a message straight from the heavens ✨ ❤️🙏
Amen 🙏🏻
Although this version is very beautiful my favourite performance of the song is that from Lollapalooza. The drums give this song so much power, it is literally another experience.
i feel like this is the "calm" version, where the original delivers in power through the drums, this highlights aurora and co.'s voices more
What an incredible performance. Spine tingling and passionate. Backing vocals are AWESOME. Not to mention Aurora’s juggernaut voice.
They are beautiful
This is so beautiful I'm glad I clicked on it. Love her voice
She always shakes me
My God! Just....there are no words.....
I'm amazed how precise this is!
Love this era of Aurora. She definitely looked like she'd walked out of anime. So stunning
The backing vocals are so amazing!
This covers with AURORA and the band are just amazing! Incredibly beautiful how you can feel the whole song
I listened to the whole thing with my eyes closed and It was magic, like a flight, my soul went away for five minutes and then came back. A river of emotions, thank you Aurora, thank you Silja and thank you all band members.
Please o please release this version on Spotify.
i keep coming back 😭
I will forever love this song ❤
love her deep voice
amazing
This is what music should be...all about the message and the magic (not an ego in sight!)
Wow...speechless
so pure
2 days listening to this awesome piece of music from the heaven
