iamAURORA - Zábava
She definitely immerses into her music. Fearless in her lyrics. There is a hidden lioness inside of what looks like a fragile person. She moves me.
I couldn't agree more. I am actually a little frightened of her. The piercing stories she presents are not ones I would be brave enough to lose myself in, as she does when she is on stage. This song is a fine example. But her voice! and her very essence makes the performance achingly visceral and beautiful, even with such a dark theme. The fact that she wrote this makes the entire experience overwhelming to me, and that feeling returns each time I hear this.
I'm a 55 year old man.
Aurora can disturb my sp8rit and sooth it all at once.
She's like mescaline " in the shape of a girl"
In "soldier, poet, king" aurora would be the poet. ❤
This is without doubt the best live performance by any artist I’ve ever seen,I’m moved beyond words.❤️
Agreed❤
Thank you for the Reaction. I asked for it because I just love this song.
Aurora wrote "Murder Song" after reading in the newspaper that a man had shot his wife, who had terminal cancer and was suffering greatly.
Aurora was very concerned about that and she then wrote this song. I think she was 15 years old when she wrote MurderSong. My mother also had cancer for many years. In her last days of life, my mother called for a veterinarian. Here in Germany, animals may be euthanized if they are terminally ill. Euthanasia is not allowed for humans. This song by Aurora means so much to me. I hope someone would be willing to help me if I were ever in a similar situation as my mother.
it's not legal here in us either...my mother is terminal and it's so very hard to watch and participate with...❤️💔
Thank you for making the request. Such a beautiful song about such a hard topic.
Voluntary euthanasia is legal in some places in Australia, with more still deciding. There!s hope that we will soon treat terminally ill humans as humanely as we do sick animals.
Hello Rosalie, the song touches almost everyone. Let me put it this way: you've only scratched the surface of AURORA. If you dive right in, you can lose yourself in their songs.
This is probably the saddest love song I've ever heard. A man shoots his wife to end her suffering. Can love be bigger and more painful at the same time than in this story? AURORA manages to make this pain palpable with her voice and her movements. You have seen AURORA's eyes. She wasn't on stage. She was somewhere else. You saw how deeply she was thinking about these two people, that she sometimes shook herself uncontrollably. I believe that she is not conscious of her movements. She's so into the story in her head that she's doing the moves in the story. I heard that AURORA was horrified by these movements when she saw the recording of the performance. That means for me that she did it unconsciously. Her empathy must be beyond measure. She spreads all her feelings that she has in this moment in front of us and lets us look into her heart and soul. There is no other way I can explain that almost everyone who saw this performance was affected by this story. AURORA is more than a storyteller, more than a singer. AURORA is a true artist.
This is from an interview with Aurora:
"First of all, I have a really vivid imagination. You know that these things may be happening to someone right now. It's kind of a terrifying thought. I just had to get that thought out of my head - and that's why I wrote this song. But the two characters are actually just made up in my head. I've written many songs about them - maybe I'll make a book with them."
And in another interview:
It’s just fascinating that some people can have in them the desire to kill while some people cannot pick a flower without feeling bad. That's about this I wrote 'Murder Song'. How can a man kill someone he loves and it happens often in the world. But he doesn't really understand what he did, it's a very complicated story. Her, she didn't want to be in this world anymore, and she knew that this man would do anything for her. She asks him to kill her and he said: 'Ok, I love you, I would do anything for you.' After he killed her, he became sad because she didn't move anymore and he didn't understand where she went. He didn't understand why she left and he start crying. And it is sad, because for the rest of his life, he will not understand and he will be sad."
------------------------
The World Climate Summit is currently taking place. AURORA has the right song for it:
- The Seed (Official Video - VEVO) - czcams.com/video/_Mc_OM5oNA8/video.html - I call it AURORAS “Earth Song”
- Exhale Inhale - czcams.com/video/hJcIVes-6r4/video.html - This is "The Seed 2.0"
I usually prefer her live performances. But in this case the VEVO video is more impressive.
Many Thanks
und liebe Grüße aus der Nordheide
Second this 😍
thank you very much for this information and quotes. wow!! so profound. very profound!! thank you for sharing this. also for the suggestions and links. her music is very deep. art.
Jeez, this had me literally crying. That part from the second interview is like a child losing their parent before they understand the concept of death.
Aurora is lit 👍👍👍👌👌👌 her colab with wardruna is fire!
Yes, Helvegen is awesome. 🌬️🫀
Thank you, Rosalie, for fulfilling my request, and giving this amazing performance the respect it deserves. I appreciate the fact that you had to put in extra work on some audio difficulties too. 👍
This was the performance that took me from curious, becoming a fan, to hardcore Warrior and Weirdo. Her authenticity and commitment to the music and telling the story is just amazing. It never fails to blow me away! Of course, it doesn't hurt that her voice cuts through my soul like a hot knife through butter. (Ha! That's a good thing, right?)
It's interesting that you noticed her coming back to reality at the end. It's even more noticeable at the end of Runaway, from the same concert. It's like she forgets where she is. It's interesting to watch her growth as an artist and a person over the years. She's way more "present" in her performances these days. She's still very emotional and committed to the music and story, but she's equally connected to her audience. She didn't really like performing early in her career (and she was pretty scared at that Nobel concert), but she loves it now, and it's awesome seeing how much fun she has now, because she deserves it!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Haha and yes in this context the knife through butter is good :) interesting info! I’m looking forward to learning more about her.
Thank you for suggesting this. It moved my heart. Also you put to words what I felt about her. There is only one Aurora.
@@rosalieelliottofficial I'm really loving your Aurora and Nightwish reactions as of late, Rosalie! Now that you've done a couple of Aurora's heavier songs, might I suggest a couple of her lighter ones to lift our spirits?
A fun and energetic song from Aurora that includes a spoken introduction from Aurora herself about what this song means to her. (Also, this song was my personal introduction to her and I've been a full-fledged weirdo ever since!)
AURORA - Warrior (Red Bull session)

Another great fun and uplifting song from her 1st live television performance in America. Watch it, and I'll bet you anything that can't watch it without smiling!

@@bloodybutunbowed291 thank you very much! will gladly check these out asap. something light sounds like a great idea!! :)
Aurora is an amazing young Lady. I'm flying to Trondheim 19/11 to se her in concert. Can't wait. This young brilliant artist seems to have a very old soul..I just love all about her.❤️
Heartbreaking, haunting, and stunningly beautiful. This is a magical performance that always leaves me breathless. Great reaction!
It can also be about a mercy killing to spare a loved one from pain and suffering.
That's exactly what it is 100% about. There's no doubt, it was written as a response to a real event where this is what happened.
Terminal disease problem, how much pain?
It is.
Next do Aurora - Exhale Inhale (Live). She's really the best there is and has come a very long way since Runaway and Murder Song came out.
Greetings from Scotland! Oh, when I saw this reaction I just had to watch because I know how this beautifully sad song gets right into your soul! Yes, Aurora can't ever be described as a "singer" because she is so much more that that! So much more! I rarely get through one of her deeply emotional songs without crying like a baby! She is one of the very few singers who just seems to push all my buttons ALL together!
To me this has all the hallmarks of a mercy killing (Euthanasia?) and one of the most difficult decisions a loved one can ever make! Do you let your best friend/lover die slowly in pain from a horrible illness or do what must be done? (Just my own personal views of course!). An extremely difficult topic to discuss.
Great reaction as always Rosalie! 👏👏🙏🙏
I know some hear these lyrics, and come away with the impression that 'he didn't mean to do no harm' is the killer lying to himself. But the way she sings it has always felt to me like she was describing a genuine desire to spare her some kind of awful pain and suffering, like from a terminal illness. She seems appreciative, even thankful. Regardless, Aurora does tackle serious subjects, and she doesn't shy away from uncomfortable implications. Even in the happy ones. 'Cure for Me' is just a joyous song to listen to, but it still deals with a very unfortunate problem in the world.
Sounds like She is desperate to justify the murder
I know you've already reacted to Runaway but her live performance of it in this same concert is worth a watch. By the end of it, the way she loses herself in her music is even more apparent.
I second this!
Acoustic guitar is cherry on top
Very good reaction - I liked it a lot. I love Aurora's music and lyrics too. She is like full package. Great, suiting voice, beautiful songs, very emotional, artistic. Lyrics make you think about some topics and are open for interpretation too. I also love she feels music, not only just singing. And she also write and produce/coproduce her songs. She is also very empathic person and as such she write songs about things that moved her or are important for her.
Thx for this cool reaction!
Many possible interpretations. You could see it as a sad love song as well
She is the energy of the universe.....expressed in a point of light called an Aurora.
She read an article in a paper of a father who killed his daughter believing he was saving her from the world. She was so disturbed by the article, she had to get it out so she wrote the sing.
Jepp, that is not exactely the story behind the lyric.
It' the story about a husband killing his wife who had terminal canser
@@sveinb.a.hammer1681 ah cool, well not cool, still sad either way.
Songs can be interpreted in many ways. For me, I interpreted this as a euthanasia event. He really did not mean her any harm and was saving her from something awful that neither of them could stop (painful, terminal disease?), and he was devastated afterwards. One of the reasons I hold this interpretation is that, although domestic abuse survivors do sometimes go back to their abuser again and again, this is the final act, one she saw coming (5 4 3 2 1) and she offered no resistance and was understanding of his actions. I'm not saying you are wrong, really great art can mean different things to different people, which is the beauty of it. Also, her performance of Runaway at this same concert is definitely worth a look even though you saw her official video.
I mean it's literally based on a real event where what you said is what happened. If Rosalie came to some kind of other conclusion (I've not finished watching the reaction), she is wrong.
Euthanasia or interruption. They're similar in a way. And there always should be this consideration whether the person is being helped or simply murdered. Regardless of the intentions.
Thy for your comment to this you rly got it. I rly are adicted to this song... when the second part repeed comes to "he hold me tight ..." and then her voice go up and creacy.... paints me the picture of the murder just realized what he has done and went creazy about it.. its such a perfect perfomance and song i EVER EVER heard and goes so deep. And think what..... I am crying and crying even i am not a murder. I love this artist so much! Masterpiece (sry for me english ... its not my main language) take care.
The song is sung by the victim all the time. This also means the countdown at the beginning. She counts down herself for her husband. These are all her thoughts, not those of him. He does not justify anything. He's just crying. She sings "I know, he knows, that he's killing me for mercy". Both know. The man does not want to kill her, but does so at her request. And for him to make it, she counts down. He redeems her from her suffering.
He becomes a murderer for her.
Euthanasie for a terminally ill wife.
And if you pay attention to how the duet is sung, you hear Aurora singing "And here I go, oh oh oh", while the man just sings "Go". After the shot her spirit prepared to leave and he gives her his permission that it's okay to go, He will be okay again without her.
Of course, this is an interpretation, but taking into account the things that are actually offered. For me, this is the only comprehensible interpretation. In others, there are too many logic gaps for me.
wow that is beautifully interpreted and explained. makes a lot of sense. A few other comments have confirmed a similar interpretation regarding the husband killing his terminally ill wife for mercy. thank you very much for sharing your thoughts. it makes a lot of sense and adds even more depth to this song.
A dangerous conclusion to reach.
Aurora writes for the emotional effect, I seriously doubt whether 'logical gaps' mean anything to her ...
@@TheVirtualWatcher I'm not talking about logical gaps in Aurora's songs. So this has absolutely 0 effect on her in any way. And even if it did, it would have no effect on her. After all, that's what artistic freedom is for. I'm talking about logic gaps in other people interpretations I've heard and read. And what is supposed to be dangerous about that? Stay on the ground and don't do the drama queen here. 😁
@@TomTomson81 Have I hit a nerve here?
You seem to be putting your interpretation forward as the 'best' one because you see 'logical gaps' in others. But no interpretation is required, what matters is how the song emotionally affects the listener. The words of the story are triggers to elicit a response.
The danger lies in people listening to and believing you.
@@TheVirtualWatcher Oh not at all.
Why do you ask me if you hit a nerve when I put forward conclusive arguments. Because I called you a drama queen for your overdramatization?
"a dangerous conclusion to reach"
I don't push anything at all and don't undermine other interpretations. I wrote all the time "MY interpretation" and FOR ME other interpretations are holey. What others do or don't make of it is up to them.
Are welcome to have other interpretations. For me, however, most of them are full of holes. As I said. There will certainly be other conclusive interpretations, but I haven't read them yet.
The way she tells the story with her hands and expressions is like nothing I've ever seen. Her eyes scanning the audience at the very end was epic. She gives me chills literally. 😊
One of the best reactions I have seen to this wonderful performance by Aurora and Odd Martin (guitar and vocals). Their voices are perfect together. Thanks.
what an honor! thank you, Kev. I love Aurora and am mesmerized by her voice and heart. Agreed. What an outstanding performance.
I like your reaction as new subscriber to your channel,
Please react to a Filipino girl group sings ‘BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER’ (So Hyang Version) by 4TH IMPACT Cover Tnx.
Here's the Link : czcams.com/video/sfdyk8Sa_Ys/video.html
Thank you for this reaction, one of so many very deep song from Aurora. I would point out: bear foot on the largest stage in Norway, singing a song about ''compasion murder'' from the victime point of vew, At the Nobel PEACE Prize Concert... and knowing what I know of her, she knows exactely what she is doing. Even at this age ( 19 I think) she already is only herself. I juste simply admire her.
Achingly beautiful performance.
Thank you ! Aurora is a musical Avatar - and her empathy is emence . Please look at her consert from Nidarosdomen - Lucky or.. the Eyes of a Child
Appreciate the education.. I didn’t know the basis of the song.. until now. it makes it far more impactful…
she is magic
A beautiful and haunting song! Great reaction!
Thank you Rosalie! Love your reviews. Aurora is absolutely amazing, brilliant, and beautiful! I’m at a loss for words for how she touches people’s hearts. Love her!
always great reactions and then there are these special ones that I love so much when you do them its almost like she is pulling the notes out of the air and then sings them and she is so deep into all of her performances the music lives in her it gives her life you can just tell it does I like all of her stuff. as always your ride or die forever Eyy Ooooo
yes!! so well said. she has a gift
@@rosalieelliottofficial
This song isn't about abuse like some of her others. It's about saving someone in pain who will go through more. It is about mercy killing. About a world that is so bad for the person that death is the only escape, and about someone that loves them so much that they will give this to them, even if it means they lose the person themselves.
Yes. Aurora found out about a man who actually killed his wife, who had been suffering and it might get worse. The song is about that. It Happened Quiet night be related, but it's a bit fuzzy how.
Before you leave Norway, or when you return, I think you will like three other gems - Dagny, Astrid S and Sigrid, and the band Kalandra, to name a few...😀 From Dagny and Astrid S I think you'll like their one cowork in 'Pretty' - czcams.com/video/niaMHbhsV5E/video.html the poppy version and also the acoustic version - czcams.com/video/iAQgm-ZhoqQ/video.html. Both has huge catalogs and tour and are quite busy, as is Sigrid who is touring UK right now, having done Europe and US this summer and autumn.
Oh my gosh, I am so pleased to see you reacting to Aurora!! When I was in therapy, her music helped me so much! "The River" and "The Seed" are FABULOUS songs. I think you'd probably like "The Seed" more. Very emotional message.
Aurora's songs are beautiful, and hypnotic or spellbinding. she loves the forest, and works to have a good ecosystem to save the trees and our water of the world,
This footage - from the lead vocal, harmony, guitar, echo, stage, physical presence, cinematography - is masterfully executed. This piece of footage is a masterpiece.
React to her singing 'All is soft inside', please.
Can't remember his name but yes that gentleman and her put on an awesome tiny desk concert.
Spot on lyrical analysis, including the connection you make with It Happened Quiet. I highly recommend Churchyard live at KXP…it kinda completes the set. It’s my favorite performance along with Runaway from the Noble Peace Prize concert. Really enjoy the insights you bring in every reaction that I’ve seen.
Yes, so many times you see her "coming back to our world", having been totally in her song. With some songs and an audience, she is "in" the audience and the joy on her face is so visible.
You have to see Aurora and Wardruna doing Helvegen live
And I think you shoul see Dimmu Borgir live forces of the northern nigths. The song Gateways.
Some of the absolut best from Norway Aurora, Wardruna and Dimmu Borgir
so emotional.thanks for reaction!
Nice shirt!
Fantastic comment Rosalie 👍✌
I had the idea that this song was separate from It Happened Quiet, not about domestic abuse. I was led to believe that it was about assisted suicide (regardless of one’s views on this controversial topic.). What do you think?
It’s definitely not about domestic violence like “It Happened Quiet”
Many seems to believe that those two songs are connected, but they’re not 😊
She even says it herself what the song is about, that the woman wants him to do it, and that he’ll always be sad.
In “It Happened Quiet” the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt her.
yes, according to several others you seem to be right. some had spoken of domestic violence in response to my "it happened quiet" video, and expressed there are other connected songs. I concluded this may be one of them, but it turns out it's rather about what you described - in this particular song, a husband killing his terminally ill wife? it's interesting to see how unique and yet connected and oh so profound these songs are. I am learning as I go and stacking blocks of information bit by bit w every song I hear of her. what a journey!
@@rosalieelliottofficial
This is what Aurora herself says:
“‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’ - which is about someone that is stronger… a grown up with a child, a teacher with a student - someone that takes advantage of their power and uses it in the wrong way. It’s inspired by domestic violence.” AURORA
“In my more delusional stories like ‘It Happened Quiet’ and ‘Churchyard’, the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt them.” AURORA
So “Churchyard” is also about domestic violence, and if you want to check it out, please do the one at the KEXP Iceland 2018👍😊
Great reaction, Rosalie, thank you! Aurora has a lot of sad songs and had those deep thoughts already as a child. She is introverted yet empathic. Afraid of people yet not shy. Who could imagine what this child was pondering about alone in the parents attic or the Norwegian forest. Another song that deals with domestic violence (and revenge) is "Church Yard" (preferably the KEXP version). But I think it would be nice if you would react to "Nothing is Eternal", a small documental to discover how unique and different a person she is.
A masterpiece performance!
She always pulls you into the songs. Not all of her songs are sad, I recommend "Giving In To The Love" next.
Nice reaction 😊
The song is not connected to “It Happened Quiet”.
“Murder Song” is about mercy killing, it’s she who asks him to kill her.
While in “It Happened Quiet” it is about domestic violence where the victim comes back to haunt the one that hurt her.
Could you please react to:
“The Seed” official video

All is Soft Inside or any of the songs from KEXP iceland are good choices to see her fun and upbeat side.
Hell yeah another aurora reaction - i just had to watch it straight away :)
I absolutely love watching you work through these profound and moving songs with so much insight, it's always such a pleasure
I found your approach of the song incredibly interesting actually, because it wasn't quite Aurora's intent while writing it if I remember correctly - this song was born of her reading a story in the news about a man killing his wife who had terminal disease, to spare her a life of suffering. In her words, she wrote this song to get the tragedy of it out of her head.
But your interpretation was so insightful and heartfelt, and made me see new aspects i hadn't quite thought of before - which is why I like the fact that you don't look it up too much beforehand :)
A few reflections that I've had while listening to this :
It's not just the perpetrator who justifies the murder as essential... The victim is trying to convince herself too, in my eyes. In the "original" meaning this makes a lot of sense, but i think it still holds a lot of truth in the case of domestic abuse
And yet you can tell from her tone and expressions... She can't quite convince herself. She's not relieved at the end, but resigned... And almost, betrayed. Like she can't believe someone she loved would do this to her
Anyways, a wonderful and thought provoking reaction to a profound song, this has been a pleasure ! I hope you'll keep making your way down the Aurora rabbit hole... You won't regret any of it, trust me :D
oh wow!! very interesting. i didn't know. the downside of trying to listen with fresh ears/see with fresh eyes is missing that sort of thing, but grateful to subscribers and commentators like you for the education. Learning more and more and it's very enjoyable to build on to the knowledge as I hear more and more of these artists. so well said also what you mentioned about the victim justifying things. what a great elaboration and explanation. thank you for your comment!! these eloquent, kind and educational comments are some of my most favorite.
@@rosalieelliottofficial Awh thank you ! I also adore these discussions and exchanges around stuff I'm passionate about. It's why I gravitate to channels like yours, despite not being a big fan of the reaction video format (the senseless "hey I'm going to watch someone else's work, say it's cool and leave it there"). Having an artist give their genuine thoughts about another piece of art though, with almost half the video spent on discussion, and comments full of respect and interesting thoughts... I'm loving this community and this channel 😁
@@fyrenoftelios767 thank you very very much! yes, to be honest I didn't get the idea of reaction videos at all either for a while, and def. wouldn't want to put my name and time on anything senseless for thousands to see. i want to be proud of my work and message and so discovering that there is a way to "react" and more so, listen to music and explore the beauty of this art and my other passion, psychology and philosophy, etc., sharing it with others, has been a fun ride to be on! but it's people like you who make it worth while. thank you for your kind comment and for being part of this community.
@@rosalieelliottofficial Oh wow thank you so much ! I'm glad to contribute my 2 cents :D
Unrelated but the vocal line at 4:05 ish gets me every. single. time. I saw it did for you too, heh - it feels like a punch in the gut and like standing on the edge of a precipice at the same time. She pulls you up with her so so high with so much tension, you think she can't possibly keep going but she does and then it all just falls at the end of the verse, like the last desperate cry before passing away... Those few seconds are the most powerful moments of the song in my eyes
@@fyrenoftelios767 so well said!! yes!
Still looking forward your reaction to the Icelandic group Kaleo. Leadsinger has such a special voice.
Love ❤ your beautiful insights!
Aurora is just wonderful, and you have so much more to discover with her, some different styles too. My recommendations of where to go next would be, to see some different styles:
- Queendom
- The Seed
- The River
- Apple Tree
It happened quite is the aftermath of murder song so I believe✌️
I always thought about it from a different angle. A terminally ill person and the one that loves them. Killing them to spare them from the pain and suffering without the hope of getting well.
I like that point of view. It makes a lot of sense when analyzing the lyrics. The next time I meet Aurora, I'll try to remember to ask her about this.
yes, that makes a lot of sense. several others have said something similar based on what they read/articles, etc. i am learning as i go. and that makes a lot of sense and adds even more depth to the song and lyrics.
It was a song written about a mercy killing, a husband ending his wifes suffering from terminal cancer.
It happened quite is the aftermath of this song I believe✌️
Should listen to running with the wolfs by her
The remarkable thing was her ability to compose and perform this theme at such a young age ... to get the image she had in her head out. Maybe it was a news article or story about an incident. Possibly a terminally ill wife that the partner had mercy on her. Another wonderful reaction, Rosalie.
I recommend "Lucky" from the Nidarosdomen concert. (Her anti suicide song.)
Also "Little Boy in the Grass".
To put it bluntly because there is no other way to say it. Aurora lost a very close friend of hers in the terrorist attacks in Norway. That song is about the whole event.
That is one of three people she has lost at her young age. One reason why her audience ranges from teen girls to old war vets. One of the reasons I didn't get her at first. Until all of that clicked. Now I can't imagine who I was before I new about Aurora.
Another interpretation of this is that it was a mercy killing of one partner by the other due to an incurable disease and how both people were victims of an unbelievably tragic situation that left both of them, deceased and survivor, heartbroken and scarred and having to live with the consequences on their memory/conscious. If true, the survivor is left with a lifetime of pain knowing what hey had to do to end the others suffering. Regardless of the interpretation it boggles my mind how Aurora can tell these stories without assigning judgement or blame.
Please react to her live performance - i went to far at the honda stage please her live are always brilliant
Beautiful! Please react to Forestella! I recommend "Hijo de la Luna" or "Je suis Malade" to start with.
Fingers crossed you would hit this one 🙂
💕
❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️😘❤️
Aurora is a true artist. Nice reaction as always! Hey, can you do a reaction to Snarky Puppy ft Lala Hathaway - Something.They are pretty awesome musicians and Lala does some vocal magic when she does a little polyphonic overtone singing toward the end. I think you'll dig it.
I really like your analyse.
And i liked seeing emotions passing trough you listening and viewing it.
I got a little buzz in the high frequencies of your mic i think. I'll check my setup after this, but I didn't have it on the audio from the Aurora video.
yes, very possible you heard a buzz. had trouble w audio during this last batch of videos. hopeful it will be fully resolved for the next batch.
@@rosalieelliottofficial Can't wait for the next reactions.
Specially if it's an Aurora :)
Also, she has great interviews and video missives showing her wonderful personality. Here is a recent one czcams.com/video/m9DQk3QZNhE/video.html How can you not love her?
twist: 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - Interruption song... I know they know, they're killing me for mercy...
This one is about a situation where she is terminally ill. And her husband or boyfriend helps her.
Murder to some. Love to others.
*holds back his TroLLing*
Thank you for doing more foreign bands I personally think more people need introduced to them 🙂
Small recommendation Check out King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, He does Operatic Metal.. They are originally a Norwegian Band if I remember right, But Metallica has paid many tributes to them.
I recommend a Christmas song of his called "No presents for Christmas" however it is NOT a vid, but many made their on collage using the song which fits. (I'd recommend doing it around Christmas time)
haha welcome "troll" :) thanks for the suggestion too
@@rosalieelliottofficial careful responding to me remember what they say about feeding TroLL's 😛
She wrote this song when she was 12
😊👍
Please react to Aurora soft universe live in nidarosdomen u will hear her highest note
I always go back and forth on the motivations of the partner. Based on other songs I feel aurora is too sympathetic to the aggressor in her songs but I can't tell if it's "mercy" or mercy is a coping mechanism. Amazing writing
I think it’s a story she heard when she was young of a man whose wife was dying of cancer and he was killing her for mercy to save her from the pain of a slow painful death …I think
The song "Murder Song" is about a woman who is held at gunpoint by her partner. She closes her eyes and expects to die, but instead he pulls the trigger and accidentally kills her. He is upset and cries, realizing he did it to spare her from the struggles of life. The song ends with her dying and the gun being gone.
completly false
Is it me or anyone else remembered angus and julia stone...
❤️🇧🇻
I'm not sure you are interested, but here is an interview interspersed with music (which is unfortunately blocked). Anyway she talks about Murder song from about 3:00 to 5:30 minutes in the one hour video. Also a little about about the title after the song plays. Apparently Murder Song was too brutal for the BBC, so it was called 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 for them and now she uses both with the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 in ( ). czcams.com/video/sfaW0VVzHoE/video.html
My interpretation is completely separate from it happened quite, in this song for me it’s about someone possibly in pain and the murderer not actually being a bad person they euthanising their lover to end the pain. Alternatively could be someone that’s about to be tortured or in grave danger so to spare them the horror the other person kills them swiftly. This would make the lyrics “I know that he knows” she is certain that he is certain he’s doing the right thing.
that makes a lot of sense. i've since learned about the back story and what a tragic topic to sing about so beautifully. thank you for sharing
LOve your reaction to this Rosalie. Yes, it is dark and sad, but still wonderfully performed. Maybe you should try some other sides of Aurora now? Her Exist for Love is just lovely - czcams.com/video/7YDkrJaiCrw/video.html she released it when the corona epidemic really set in and everything closed down, feeling that we could need some love right then. Also Queendom is a gem of a video - czcams.com/video/wULeXeQkqd0/video.html and Cure for me is great, fun, but with an important message - czcams.com/video/K17df81RL9Y/video.html .
Her entire first album is a masterpiece. It’s dark though. She’s admitted that many of those songs were sad songs.
Strong huh? Aurora is so incredibly unique.......
Ee’ther’ee’al (Etherial).
This is NOT about domestic violence- it is about a mercy killing of a terminally ill loved one
Please react to Tom Macdonald "fighter " and Harry Mack Omegle bars!
Wonderful reaction as usual. One thing though it seems that there was to much volume or gain on the microphone as you voice was distorted.
She asked her husband to kill her because she did not want to suffer the pain of the terrible cancer that was eating her from head to toe. And, out of love an mercy, he ended her life.
Aurora was 19 at the time of this performance. Try finding another teenager who is able to write so brilliantly on sensitive issues and deliver performances that are so utterly compelling. More successful would be finding the proverbial needle in the haystack. Aurora is the total essence of the word unique. Once you watch the HAIK documentary/concert and check out some of her interviews, you will see that Aurora has a personality as amazing as her performing and writing talents.
Side note: You have a spirit with you. There is literally an orb in your video. At 5:50 an orb appears above your head and arches around into your right headset. At 6:00 it exits the right side of your head and exits to the left of our view above the keyboard. I don't see it happening in any other part of the video. What do you think?
I find it interesting that this song on her album is the worst one on that album. She definitely made it better as she went along and found its fundamental core. My favorite of this song was done at Nidarosdomen. She is special live, and always better than the official cut or album, live, other than The Seed, which is best as a Vivo official video. My favorite of hers is Lucky, at Nidarosdomen.
This song is not exactly about domestic violence. It's about kind of euthanasia. Really difficult feelings and hartbroking combination sadness and love.
It my understanding that she wrote this song after reading a newspaper article about a husband taking the life of his painful terminally I’ll wife.
i just learned that from another subscribers too. how interesting!!! that makes a lot of sense.
She is Gaia....
good video. please check out Tom Macdonald "Fighter". It's making history. 3.4+ million views, 3 days old. youll not regret
Hi , It's me , Anthony again
I listened to some other songs from Aurora. I cannot be a fan. ( I prefer not to write why)
May be you can think I am a difficult man but , I know what I like and why I like it. Aurora is not part of it.
You did some reaction to Daneliya Tuleshova, probably to Angelina Jordan and Diana Ankudinova. All are quite famous in the web.
They, all, have their talent , but , again I am not fan of them.
In that case you are going to ask me what do you like?
so here my answer.
number one : Lucy Thomas . Listen to her singing " hallelujah" ( more than 25 millions views in less than 2 years...should not be bad?)
Number two: Patty Gurdy. Listen to her singing and playing her Hurdy gurdy instrument : Over the hills and far away
Number three: Geoff Castellucci . The guy is stunning. His performances are stunning, everything about him is stunning.
Hope you will have time to check these singers. They, all, deserve all our appreciations.
I recently reacted to Geoff C. His version of 16 tons. Check it out if you like.
Thank you also for the suggestions.
@@rosalieelliottofficial thanks to read the comments. 16 Tons is a wonderful song. Geoff, with all his clones is incredible.
I do not know if you looked at voice play singing : in the hall of mountain king. It is so...special, cute, funny, and fascinating 🥰🥰🥰
@@anthonyl.6879 I am not a fan (I prefer not to say why😅) of any of your suggestions 😮)
@@byzinski not , even ,Lucy?????
I don't know any man that cannot fall in love with Lucy's voice, Lucy's eyes and Lucy's soul.😉
