- AURORA - The Seed (Live Performance)
“I’m missing anger in the youth," says AURORA. "Not the blind rage, pointed towards all and nothing. But the kind of rage that wakes you up in the morning, the kind of rage that Inspires you to do something with the power you have in you… It’s time for us to really fight for her. This is a cry for Mother Earth.” That cry comes in the form of "The Seed," the Norwegian singer's latest track and the first from her upcoming second album, 'A Different Kind of Human (Part II),' due June 7. It's a fetching anthem that arrives with AURORA's trademarks: an ethereal track and a fierce coo that's the essence of her vocal style. Our respected LIFT alum arrived at the Vevo studio with a handful of helpers, and their performance of "The Seed" is nothing short of gripping.

It is so strange how the same song can feel so different. The studio version is full of righteous anger. A warrior fighting for the earth. But this version is so sad and beautiful like she has gone past anger and is now pleading.
I prefer the live version. It is raw, hard, angry and Arora really rocks when she sing this from the stage. I have heard her singing The Seed two times live, and I will never forget it. My best concert experience ever. Here you have a link to her, singing The Seed live on the legendary Lollapalooza Brasil Concert. Amazing:

Yeahh I agree I love both for those differences
oml yes that is what I was wanting to say but I had no words to
@@egiljohnsen6145 She was in my country and I didn't see her :')
I was just listening to this version, is the first time i hear it ( it came from a need, 'cause the studio one, after twenty times of listening to, suddently sounded so "too much packed") and i decided i will write a comment about this here and then go back to the "oficial video" and recomand this version!!! Then i so this first comment, of yours. Thank you for expressing this in a easier to understand mode :) [yep, not a native speaker... Regards from beautiful Romania to all of you and to Aurora :) ]
Aurora sings the same song with a different mood every time.
There's no reason you cannot find your favorite version of one song or get bored of it.
This is so true. Her tiny desk version of Runaway floors me every time.
I know right! I don't think I've ever listened to the same songs over and over so many times, and never get tired of them! Love them all!
That’s live art for you folks.
That's why I started a playlist when I first discovered Aurora and it's now over 400 videos. Live performances concerts radio gigs interviews and documentaries. She's pretty amazing!
Right, this is so true
She is definitely an airbender
Nah, she's the whole goddamn Avatar 😌✨
and waterbender
She’s a Gemini soo
You can see she is airbending when she does that hand gestures
Water bender🌊

Native American religion often revolves around living as one with nature and respecting it. I think we can learn a lot from their way of life still.

I'm crying. This version is so soft, and yet so intense.
This came up in my suggested during a dark time for me. Its exactly what I needed
Putting headphones knowing that I'm gonna listen to HEAVEN sounds🌼🌸🌸
She's an angel in human form 😍 such a soothing voice even in live version ❤️

Mam the humans are pointless creature. Their objective in life is to make life as comfortable as possible, they don't care about what their comfort brings in the live of other living beings on Earth.
@@rudrashiva sad but true
that's beautiful
@@rudrashiva read selfish gene. We actually care about nature because it will affect us too. But some people try to get rid of their responsibility
Exactly. For anger to not stay pointless, something has to be done with it. Beautiful.
Just love how her shoes are just in the background.
I was listening to this and my mother asked, that "Is this from that angel girl? I've recognized her voice."
Ur mom is tha best ❤💙
KicsiKorte. That’s lovely! 😊. I emailed this video to my 85-year-old father, and he was just as captivated by Aurora, the song and this presentation as I am.
So lucky~!
My mom doesn't like her one bit :(
Meta Tooru WHY NOT?!
Same bro
Applause to the background vocals, too! This is brilliant all together!
she always found the right background vocal
I might be wrong but I think that's her sister?
@@original4fun you are in fact wrong, she is silja sol, a very good friend of hers and amazing as well
@@original4fun you are exactly right. you do think that's her sister.
She's also brilliant live ! If you have the opportunity to see them live, run !

Aurora is like a fairy singing the message of mother nature to human.
My 5 yr old son acts a little hyperactive sometimes, I put Aurora on and he sits down and shuts up and focuses on her voice, I think he's in love 😍.
Bro, me too tho! 😂
@@viceshark i hear you, she is just gorgeous right to her core.
I bought myself a ticket to see her in november, i think im in love too :D :D
Dylan The Villain That’s really awesome! That’s great that you will be able to see her live. I bet her energy in person will be a soul-salve. 💚
Deni Pallas seeing her in November too and I can’t wait 😍❤️
get schwifty that’s a beautiful thing! 😁
Aurora is definitely the number one artist in the world today. In performance she is stunning and totally captivating. Her voice is unbelievable. As a song writer she is prolific, and her originality stands out. She is totally sincere, her lyrics are powerful yet sensitive and she is adventurous melodically. The vocal and instrumental arrangements are superb, both acoustic and electric versions. She is such a refreshing human being, totally original and so wise. To me the title, “Aurora” also includes her band who are part of her, helping her to develop and perform her songs flawlessly. I am totally hooked and I try to expose her to as many people as possible. My wife and I recently I had the good fortune of seeing her perform in Sydney. She didn’t disappoint!
Graeme S
she is indeed _superb_ . but my gripe with your comment is precisely the word _today_ . I happen to have the exact same age as her (to the day), and when I say that she will grow further in the future, I pull it from the bottom of my heart. She is indeed amazing, but she's still young. Give her a couple of years and she'll be unstoppable
At least im not worry...
her bob blond hair remain me of sia. Amazing singer/songwriter nowadays.
if sia retired, shes will be her successor.
Thanks God.
Agree! She’s incredible ❤️ saw her in Chile a few days ago. Silja, Vetle and Freddie were amazing as well.
Damn it ! I live in Sydney - where did she perform, where did you see her ? I would've loved to see her
Karen Skinner - Hi Karen. I just noticed your comment. We saw her at the Enmore Theatre on the 30th of April. Amazingly just a few days before my wife and I were playing the superb Nidarosdomen concert to a friend of mine and we actually searched on her website for Australian dates. None could be found. The very next morning my wife found the Enmore Theatre. Performance advertised in the paper. We went the next. It was all very” strange” (Aurora likes that word). She also visited Australia in 2017!
I must say thanks to Disney for introducing me to this talented singer, her songs are so meaningful
Yes yes, you have found an angle desendenced from heaven
Welcome, another Vietnamese warrior
Welcome Warrior!
Ngo Mạnh Dũng It’s Angel 😇
Same!!!! I just discovered this gem and i cant stop watching her vids heeeelp
She is so visibly free, you can tell, she isn’t afraid to sing, and she seems to happy when she sings, dances, she knows her purpose..
Every time I play an Aurora song loud the neighbours must think there's some kind of strange ritual taking place with my singing along to it 😂 This song is beautiful just like the rest of them by her.
If I sing along, they'd probably think I'm doing some kind of evil chant.
@@maourazonica5945 lol me too
Hahaha I've always the same feelings with my neighbors. But, I would absolutely love to see/hear my neighbors acting strange like I do ❤️
Rituals are good, the good intentioned ones, so don't worry! :))
hahahaha
When the last tree has fallen
And the rivers are poisoned
You cannot eat money, oh no
Do you guys know how bloody strong this part is?!! Wish i could obligate every single person on earth to listen to her songs
I got chills and cried. And realized "oh no. What have we done?"
It’s a well known Native American proverb.. I’m so so so happy she’s bringing the message that the invisible indigenous communities all over the world have been screaming at us to no avail.
me too
I want to hear all of Auroras songs acoustic like this. Pleaese release a raw acoustic album.
They are everywhere on CZcams.
@@strangelittlegirl27 it would be better if she does acoustic versions and put them into 1 album
Yeah right! The studio albums are so overproduced.

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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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, nah
Oooohhhh the lyrics cool
Thank you for these lyrics! This reply is both to Aurora and to you for providing me with them 😭
can we talk about those background vocals??
Survey Brook she’s Silja Sol!
Best voice of this generation, don’t care what anybody else says 😂
Music is subjective, but she does have a nice voice in my opinion
If you like her, you might like Florence and the machine
To much Auto tune
Yuli A listen to queendom harp version, it’s got NO AUTOTUNE in it what so ever and it’s beautiful!
Amanda Vit I’m personally not a fan of Florence, but thanks for the suggestion anyways 😁
I love that her shoes are always elsewhere
She does NOT need auto tune AT ALL. Such an angelic voice, it's like an angel is calling me from heaven. What a beautiful human being.
Yeah
Silja’s voice tho 😩
I nearly collapsed at 4:23, this version is truly amazing, more relaxing and more sad than the original one.
This is just pure soul
I cannot listen to the last few seconds of this song without crying, she's an angel
and i didn't realise i pressed this time so many times...
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

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
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
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
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
You cannot eat money, oh no
You cannot eat money, oh no

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
She literally looks like an ancient princess in History. Love that
if there's one faerie in this world it's Aurora. She's such an ethereal little creature and I cry tears just looking at her lovely self and listening to her otherworldly voice. She puts a real soul into her music, it's like she stands beside me when I listen to her songs
Everyone who is saying, "this is beautiful," or "her voice is amazing," I hope you guys realize what she actually wants to say. Nature is being killed everyday. Mountains are going bald because of deforestation. Plastics is everywhere bec we are consuming so much commodity. Buildings and condominiums are rising where trees, animals, and micro-organisms should be alive. So, yes, her voice is beautiful and she has a great message. You are moved by it, but the real question is: are you moved enough to make a difference? Will you still carry this song everyday when you waist food, water, consume too much of nature, and stay ignorant of what is happening with nature? She's right. Let us be angry, not only to the business owners who ruin mountains and rivers, but also to ourselves: we have a part in all of the greed and ignorance of the world.
clover scrobens Damn she does have a beautiful voice. Too bad she’s just a musician, and I couldn’t care less about what she thinks about anything else.
Its so hard,, because we can make small changes. Recycling,, using reusable bags instead of plastic-- but what much else can a normal civilian do? we can beg and plead the bigger people to help us make a difference to change our world.
Brooke Linton if you are an American citizen go to local town hall meetings, write to your politicians(federal or state and local level, better yet both) and go to most any event wear they or other members of the government can be found and ask what they are doing. Take public transportation or walk if you are in a city or places that have them, join local organizations that are pressuring businesses to be plastic free, and if you have spare income then start a savings to purchase solar panels or other devices that you know produce clean energy or accomplish a task in a clean fashion. If you are not in America than find the equivalent of a town hall meeting or local government and ask them how they are addressing climate change, and if they’re not pressure them into doing so. Find or start a group in your community that works toward building a greener community. We are not powerless, and although we may be small, together we can make a difference and it only takes one to start a movement.
Brooke Linton you can go vegan, or at least reduce your consommation of animal products. That makes a change for real, that’s really the most you can do.
Hannah Policar youre right 🧡🧡
The last part when she closes, sounds to me like the earth crying out in pain...
Exactly.
karimzo21 fuck off man
karimzo21 wtf man??
It almost broke me to hear.
Silja’s backing vocals on this song when they do live versions always gives me chills.
Barber: Short or Long Hair?
Aurora: Yes
"So what hair length do you want?"
*Well yes, but actually no*
I think it looks pretty on her amazing:)
She dose her own hair cuts
This comment is so unoriginal
uh. she cuts it herself
yeah but how can she pull off those clothes and that haircut, i swear aurora is a God i absolutely love her
Purple Taco I think it’s that she just has an inner confidence that comes from being alone a lot, and being reflective, and having the time to be reflective about everything about herself
The secret it's not care about what people says and be yourself.❤️
the hair cut she did herself in the mirror with a pair of scissors. No joke, she says as much in an interview.
It is sometimes quite hard for me to go back to enjoying the studio album recordings when her live performances are so strong! To me she truly shines the most when she has freedom against a living backdrop, less electronic intervention. Her voice comes across as more dynamic and emotional and flowing in her lives, I think, so I was so glad to see what she was able to do with this particular intense song. Very affecting. :)
All valid points. This is exactly why I love her live version (at the Cathedral) of It Happened Quiet than the studio version.
I agree, and I so wish she'd record and release a Live album on CD - preferably a double album with 10 min+ versions :) I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Well, in the studio, it’s difficult to not use all the bells and whistles available to you ... it takes an enormous amount of restraint to keep things “pure” (to use an imperfect word). I much prefer these strip down versions of her songs as well, they allow her to fully use her vocal and expressive power, and I find it very refreshing in an era where most of the music one hears on commercial outlets is digitally massaged beyond comprehension.
84homey me too 🙂✨
She is absolutely enthralling to listen to live. She has the voice of an angel!
She deserves Grammy!!!!
She has won one and ditched the afterparty for street tacos
I saw aurora in concert a week ago and I've been greedily watching everything i can find of her on CZcams ever since. Interviews, videos, live shows, and alternate versions of songs she does and performances like this one. This version is magnificent. The way she expresses her heart, the vocals, the musicianship, silja's pure harmonies...Real beauty. Aurora is many things in one. She's a 5' 3" adorable, beautiful, fairy; she's a quirky humorous girl who you want to be friends with; she speaks and acts with grace, wisdom, and maturity about important matters; she's an incredible, inspirational, songwriter, performer, and vocalist; and she's a formidable force of nature with a heart for seeing people and the world healed and harmonious!... I guess you could say i kinda like her!
PREACH 😍😍
What's not to like???
dear Netflix,
please cast Aurora as the OA's twin sister. as you can see, she has already mastered the five movements 🤣 besides, her voice can literally move people into other dimensions 💕
YES!
OMG, IT'S REALLY INTERESTING IDEA. AND AURORA REALLY LOOKS LIKE ORIGINAL ANGEL
ripmadonna omg so true
I'd sign that petition
She could totally fit in the role! That's an awesome idea and I support it 😁
Woman playing the guitar does the job.
Silja
This song makes me ask myself the question: what am I doing to improve the world around me? Am I contributing to its destruction or helping it to heal? In this song Aurora helps us see that we ultimately cannot escape responsibility. We are the stewards of this precious spaceship we call planet Earth. Can we learn to live in harmony with it and with one another before it's too late?
I have been working with childen with special needs for 18 years, I am my self a Asperger/ADHD person. Auroras voice does put me in another world.
Still think that GOT should have gotten her for their soundtrack
GOT is to dark for her.
Michael Taddeo not really hahahah
She's too good for GOT
@@shaggasonnofdulf i agree i feel like that show shows everything she's against of. It's like the exact contrast of who she is
I think it could've worked. It could've been a good experience as an artist too, to be able to experiment with different stories and emotions. The thing about aurora is that she has a very pure sound, but it's purity that resides within darkness. That's why it's so beautiful. There's a sad darkness to it.
Your voice really bring me to another dimension. 💙💙💙💙💙

As an avid metal head an self proclaimed percussion circle drummer. I adore her.
Her music, both vocally, lyrically, performance as well her personality are ethereally rich with love an soft gentle sorrow. Love it, as an middle aged gent I will say I'm smitten by her aura an yearn to be as young as my mind is. All her music is inspiring, calming an soothing. A true musical gem from the forest of the sidhe.
OZZY is God AURORA is a Goddess
These back vocal! My God, they're really good!I love all of them.
True.
Her background singer at 2:27 is so amazing
shoutout to her bandmates and background singers, they always do a great job at harmonizing along with her voice!
Her live performances could be the studio versions, they are that perfect.
*Sees the shoes in the background and immediately knows they belong to Aurora* 😂😂😂
srija sengupta i disagree but respect your opinion
And you know she forgot them too 😂
srija sengupta my opinion so its ok to disagree and share your opinion if you would like but i see Billie more mainstream and party going,crazy for life in a good way if you will
As Aurora is more calm, gentle and innocent. She admires life and makes her songs about the beauty’s of life rather than life itself like billie, again both have terrific angelic voices but i see them quite different
Both enjoy life no doubt and both are goofy cute
Im sorry I’m not trying to bash her or you in anyway I just see them as apples and oranges
E†YΔE this is really cool! This a quote from Billie Eilish. I love this so much!
“When I was 12, I saw Aurora’s ‘Runaway’ music video,” she once told Vanity Fair. “Something inside me clicked, like, that is what I want to do, no matter whether it goes anywhere or not.”
I love artist inspiring artist. ☺️
I've been wanting that color of shoes for a long time, lol.
My opinion: They are so consistently excellent. One of the (many) lovely things about Aurora, the band, is that there is a certain innocence, or maybe privacy, that is about her music, she/they don't sing about this or that lover who jilted her/them or destroyed confidence, they sing about how [they] are hurt, destroyed, lifted, exalted, etc. by the community of mankind. How refreshing!! Surely they have private/personal lives, but that is just that..personal/private. How pristine yet so deep and connected, personal in fact. Again, refreshing, and INSPIRING ACTION. Although the band is Aurora, I can't assume it's one person, they are a well-oiled non-machine. love them!
well said
Huh. Youre right. Feels impersonal while personal at the same time
how we as humankind interact with each other and others is one of the most private things to me. It mirrors our deepest self.
Yet she's an open book in interviews. Interesting dichotomy. But if you live your life constantly aware of the connection you have to the people animals and planet around you you'll probably feel compelled to talk/sing about it.
She's not just making music
She's making us feel the world that is beyond comprehension
Aurora is so special. I am so glad I found her.
This is the song that should have been at the end of David Attenborough’s Our Planet not that Ellie Goulding song, so much power in the lyrics
Ellie always speaks for the planet though!!!
@@deliriumnights that's not the point bob is talking about the song
BowlingFor Bob which ellie goulding song was it?
She has a cold , that makes her voice even more charming ..
This is so wonderfully choreographed that it's like a music video in it's own right:
The blank white background that it starts on before slowly panning up towards Aurora sitting with her legs folded in on top of her box conveys her feeling of isolation, like she's stranded with absolutely nothing around her ("just like the seed, I don't know where to go") Yet, at the same time, her pose suggests something meditative that's peaceful within its sadness, as though she's been brooding on a sad truth. We see a faint flash of anger as she balls her hand into a fist and sings "through the struggle", only for it to then release and open up softly again. As that other comment below suggests "this version is so sad and beautiful like she has gone past anger and is now pleading."
Then as she sings "I unravel myself in slow motion" we start to see her begin to really move and open up now. As it comes to the chorus, this camera that's been so close and claustrophobic slowly starts to move back. And when the chorus hits, it's soft and quiet, despite the build up, suggesting this same 'balling of a fist only to softly let it go' feeling.
We see more of Aurora's body again now though, and she cradles her legs in a tight hug, rocking herself slightly as she signs the sad truth: "you cannot eat money, oh no."
And then, as the second verse begins, we really see her open up and climb down from the box. She's moving much freer now, having sung that sad truth, and she stands next to the box with it like a table she imagines flowers growing out the top of. It's as though the box is now the seed; that rather than being the lone thing she's trapped upon, she now able to at least try and find a way to help it grow.
Then, as the chorus comes round a second time, the camera pans to reveal the rest of the band: Aurora's not alone and isolated anymore. There are others who feel the same as she does, who share this grief and care for the seed, and now they sing with her. Aurora seems to become more energetic and empowered.
Then, as it gets into the bridge, she makes eye contact with the camera/with us for the first time. Drawing very close with her head raised up and her hand to her throat as though to gesture that we have been suffocating her. "feed me sunlight, feed me air, feed me truth and feed me prayers" becomes her direct call to us.
By the time the final chorus comes in, the camera's zoomed out much more so we can see all of Aurora now, she's much less trapped and isolated. She dances incredibly expressively, there's some sense of hope in this, despite the sadness of the truth she's telling. There's a sense of things picking up, of the seed having hope of really growing now. However then she falls to her knees, almost begging, praying because hope is a start but it's not enough. She makes eye contact a final time now at the very end, on her knees, begging to us for our help. Then she closes her eyes and falls silent. The song ends.
Masterpiece.
*HOW CAN SHE BE SUCH A TALENTED ARTIST*
She IS a talented artist.
Now that is the million dollar question. Although, with inflation, it’d be worth a lot more.
Designer: Which type of fabric cloth should i make for you?
Aurora: Yes.
I cant remember in what interview Aurora said it, but she has explained that she has bought second hand clothes form childhood and redesigned them, and that she makes most of her own clothes this way. Her more polished looks, like the outfits in the Queendom video, her fashion designer sister Victoria makes for her.
I stumbled upon Aurora a few days ago... such an amazing discovery! Every song is so beautiful and strong. Love it
3 weeks in here, old hardcore, metal and prog fan. I root for that woman. LPs ordered, scanning for live acts. This is a phenomenon at least of Kate Bush magnitude.
Plus Teardrop cover caught me totally off guard. I thought you can't cover Teardrop, but Aurora is like an angel. Plus interviews, very soothing voice and interesting views.
Same, I instantly fell in love.
Same here. Only just discovered Aurora, and I’m emailing videos of her to various friends around the world.
The Most Pure Magic...
She feels everything she sings, its so honest and pure, such a natural story teller... beautiful ;)
Props to the background singers, you sound fantastic! Also obviously, Aurora too
The band and her hit a different part in people’s hearts that other singers of today only brush over. The pure rawness and honesty heard in their music is so sincere and makes me believe there is hope for humanity.
I feel like she is one of the few singers who turns up at the recording studio, sings her track and it gets edited 0%. How amazing.
She understands life, death, sound and dance. What else can I say?
we truly need the acoustic version of the seed 🌱
thank you for making this song 💕
she's grammy worthy.
Yes she most definitely is. They need
a special category for indie artists
from foreign, far-a-way places
I was listening to this song yesterday i just realised that she's singing this as mother nature grieving.
Jesus. I just discovered this artist. She is a perfection.
even though her voice sound sick but still spreading perfection... unbelievable
Listen to sia
If this girl ever recorded some rock or heavy metal song, I would be the happiest guy on this world. :-)
You can find her Teardrop cover somewhere on youtube
Aurora's cover of Teardrop is awesome. czcams.com/video/GPTY6l_PX5k/video.html
In my ears, Aurora really rocks when she sing The Seed live. You can see and hear her performing The Seed live at the legendary Lollapalooza Brazil concert here:

@@egiljohnsen6145 Ikr?! So metal, so sexy, so beautiful!
My baby boy Ivar loves this song, i use to play it alot when i was pregnant and everytime i play it now he smiles or stops crying.
She's just magical. I love how she perfectly aligns her body language with her emotions and her voice.
She's so underrated omg she deserves more appreciation
She is appreciated, by the right audience ; )
More??
>Beautiful voice and no needs autotune
>meanful lyrics
> QUEEN AURORA
However way she sings this song it somehow always manages to bring me into tears. Anyone?
Yes, all of us 😭❤️🥰
I want to live in her head
She seems to have more interesting and mesmerizing universe in her mind than the one we are living on
I want to say many thanks to the backvocalist too. You are also original flower.
i was floating in this universe, lost, desesperate, and i found you, like a beautiful island, at first i thought "it can't be real" but yes you were, and now you are my source of motivation and inspiration.
you inspired me in a way that i didn't think it was possible, you shattered so many negative beliefs about me and the world around me, and made me believe that things can be better. You gave me the strength to be a WARRIOR.
thanks for sharing your many gifts with the world.
thanks for being so brave and focused yet so kind and caring.
thanks for opening your heart to everyone.
thanks for fighting for our mother earth.
thanks for being a loving, magical and humble being.
thank you for be a beam of light in this life that sometimes is all dark.
I wish you the very best, keep growing, keep growing so everyone have the chance to feel you, and feel themselves.. so they can open their eyes and feel the world as beautiful again!
Some greatful human

she makes me be who i always was without fear, without prejudice, without anxiety
I seen her live in Auckland, march 2023. It was phenomenal, her on stage energy is captivating and contagious. Also had the absolute pleasure of meeting her after the show, it was intimate, with few people, and she gave time to all of us. She really is, as genuine and as lovely as we see online. Thank you Aurora 💜
@1:40 "Just like the seed, everything wants to live!" I feel blessed hearing her belt this, so sublime.
Really loving Magnus' background vocals in this. His contribution is low-key but integral.
This is now, officially, one of my favorite group…..Aurora Aksnes has the voice and spirit of an Angel
I always listen Aurora but recent times I'm obsessed with his live performances and documanteries. I'm sure right now she is not human. I don't know what, but she can't be human. I'm a very lucky person I live with this woman in same century and see her performances.
She’s human alright … there’s no reason to fetishize her as something else … a very sensitive and emotive human, a gift to the world, a once-in-a-generation talent 🙂🦋🐚✨
From time to time comes an artist who is very unique and special that they present work this is of the boundaries of all things that have all been tried before. They bring something totally new in artistic expression. Aurora is such an artist. Not only does she create great work in the studio but it is in her live performances in the usage of body language, vocals and facial expression that makes her an extraordinary artist. Even in her interview we know it is a gentle soul who is talking to us. I now believe in angles because with Aurora I have seen one. :)
The part where she looks directly into the camera and just owns your entire soul for 5 seconds? Im so fckin weak omg, shes magical
silja's back up vocals literally seems like the cry for help by mother earth
All of her outfits are always 🔥 af🥺❤️
She truly lives “in” the song.. feeling it to it’s fullest which is what makes her such a brilliant artist.
Essa versão acústica ficou tão massa, Aurora é um ser humano tão lindo de tantas formas, e quando ela transmite isso nas suas musicas eu me apaixono cada vez mais ❤
Sim vdd ela é maravilhosa do jeitinho dela e é tão bom ver isso eu amo as músicas dela os significados por trás são maravilhosos igual as da Melanie eu amo as duas
One of my favorite videos of all time
I got goosebumps from this performance
Addictive song. It's been playing in my head since I first heard it 3 days ago.
"Sofocame, así mis lágrimas podrán ser lluvia, regaré la tierra en la que estoy parada, y así las flores podrán volver a crecer"
The way she says "money" is so UNIQUE ❤️
This is wonderful!
Her Voice
The lines
The Music
And they all!
