• Sondre Lerche - Alone ...
Thanks for the reaction, a wonderful song/duet and introduction to Sondre Lerche.

“Sondre Lerche: Alone in the Night was the first recording I did for the Avatars of Love album. It put everything in motion, and surprised me greatly. I heard AURORA's voice singing it in my mind one day when I was out running in the sun. So I asked her if she'd sing it with me. It felt extra special, because I had just returned home to Bergen after 15 years of living in the US. And she was one of the first to greet me there. It's a song about what happens to our bodies and souls when we fall in love, and then again through the passage of time, when we age and die. It's ultimately about our memories and dementia. How frail we really are, and how heartless the process of aging can be to lovers.”

Aurora’s voice often reveals (for lack of a better word) different textures and nuances.
Her recent “Golden” cover is interesting. I’d recommend checking that out. Also Sigrid’s Watermelon Sugar for another Harry Styles cover. :)
This is a short song if you listen to Sondre's music :-)
Sondre said:
"This song is perhaps the most patient of all the Patience-songs I juggled during the recording of the album.
But the song felt so overwhelming and heavy that I never managed to record it.
I had also always heard another voice sing it inside me, and suddenly AURORA's voice began to appear in
my head when I was out jogging. Her own "Exist For Love" is one of my favorite songs this year, and I felt a vague
kinship between these two songs.
I told her about the text, and topics such as lust, love and dementia. What the body and heart remember when memory
slowly pulverized. And he who remains and mourns and can not forget. It seems that most people have experience
with dementia in close family in our time.
Two weeks ago I asked AURORA if she would sing "Alone In The Night" with me and she immediately said yes.
A week ago we recorded it. AURORA lifts the song far beyond my most hopeful hopes. She holds one
absolutely exceptional musicality, a precision and a presence that really touches me."
Not just the country, the city of Bergen ...
This was filmed in Bergen, in fact, if you watch the HAIK documentary, the very same building as where Aurora gave that special performance of Warrior for the two fans.
Lerche is one of Norways finest sing/songwriters :)
This isn't the sort of music I tend to listen to......but I really might need to dig into this particular artist's work.
Because this song is just beyond gorgeous and calming to my very soul.
I'm already a huge huge Aurora fan....but Sondre is new to me. I love how subtle and tastefully jazzy this is. All sorts of super cool musical moments. Especially that descending pizzicato motif at 3:42. That moment legit sent chills up my spine....
You rarely get songs of this immense beauty in 2022.
I am going to Bergenfest 15 to 17 june, Sondre preform 15, and Aurora the next day... so I HOPE that Aurora will join Sondre at his concert! It's her birthday also!
I am also seeing A-Ha on the 15....
I can't wait !!!!! :-)
In her recent songs I've noticed a richer quality to her voice. They were superb. Really enjoyed this, and your reaction.
You should check out "Sentimentalist" by Sondre Lerche next!
Lovely Duet.
Really really nice, guys Haven't heard this one before, but loved it
Fun fact: at the beginning of her career, Aurora (and Silja Sol) helped out as backing vocalist for Sondre Lerche : aurora-aksnes.fandom.com/wiki/Sondre_Lerche?file=Sondre.2014.05.24.Festspillstredet.jpg

I did not know this, that is awesome. Thank you for sharing this.
Aurora has not done a lot of pure love songs, but her own Exist for Love (her video version) is comparable to this lovely throw-back song. As always, she invests her entire being into the music.
Just saw Aurora last night live!Man you guys gotta get to a concert of hers.
beautiful ❤️
I think this song is a bout dementia. How your partner is just slipping away from you. Death before death.
That’s terrible. 💔
@@MikeandGinger Yes.
It also explains the haunting last chord.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful, yet sad love song. I agree with Ginger in that pace and length of the song are perfect, even more so because it touches the topic of dementia/Alzheimer. So it is about love, but also about merciless of time, and the fear of forgetting: "Will we awake and love move on?", "Our memories slip through the hands of time". Btw. do you know the beautiful version of Nicole Kidman and Robin Willams of "Somethin' Stupid"?
Thank you - for filling up my playlist with another BEAUTIFUL song 🎵 ❤️
Absolutely our pleasure!
So glad you guys got to this one! I love it so much and yes Aurora sounds different in this.
about the many talented people of Norway : in 2004 Simon Cowell and IDOL arranged the first and only World IDOL competition. Kurt Nilsen from Norway is the only winner of world IDOL. One of the members of the jury said he had the voice of an angel but he looked like a hobbit.: czcams.com/video/dUJdPbjxggw/video.html Kelly Clarkson finnished in third place.
✨🧡✨
Listen to metteson: Harder, acoustic version. Sooo good
I think the change in tone is mainly because it isn't her song.
Bergen 🥰 .. its not Norway, its Bergen😂😇
Yeah, a bit long, but so nice thou!
Sigrid got a new song out. Bad life. She colab. with Bring me the horizon on this. Im going to Oslo Spectrum to watch her concert tomorrow,. She also relice a new album tomorrow, so maby we got even more new songs:)
Aurora’s music (her own’s or otherwise) is NEVER too long.
LOve your reaction to this lovely song! It's filmic, as in a 50'ies movie, loving it. Sondre has been living in Brooklyn last 15 years, done much of his studio work in LA, several film scores and tunes too. He is from Bergen and were noticed at the music clubs at age 13, signed at age 16, first album when 19, his 12th album this year. More from Sondre? 'Two Way Monologue' mv is lovely, and fun - czcams.com/video/CmQyasIZYZ0/video.html . 'I Can't See Myself Without You' - also fun and nice -czcams.com/video/1L4ZLDNNp_Y/video.html . 'Summer In Reverse (feat. CHAI)' - czcams.com/video/I5ts5YE6kfg/video.html .
7:40 Oh yes, that song "Somethin' Stupid" (by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman) was the same song that popped up in my mind as well, when I first heard this song
💙💙💙💙Please react to : 13 years old FAOUZIA - Say Something A Great big World cover 2013
I’m sorry you have missed the whole point of this song seriously you need to listen carefully to the lyrics and you may realise what they are actually singing about, The song’s theme is about the loneliness,that Dementia Alzheimer’s can be in a relationship of loving someone,this song is the most beautiful moving song I’ve ever heard Genius ❤️
Would you understand that in s first reaction without any background? I would not.... and if they find other meaning for them: greate!
Thank you Runar. It is very difficult to pick up lyrics on a first listen. - G
@@MikeandGinger Aurora released a new single about 1 months ago "The Woman I Am", and there is already a Vevo live performance of it with her band on her main channel:
youtu . be / 0zBYPZxX41A
Since it is a Vevo video there is always a risk of your reaction getting blocked unfortunately, maybe put a film or sign over the video. There is also another live performance of it on her channel from a TV show in Norway that might be safer, but musically it is not as good as the Vevo one imo and her band is not with her (but 20+ women dancers 🙂 )
youtu . be / 5N2zA9HfbM4
"The Woman I Am" is already on the vinyl version of her newest album, and she it releasing a Deluxe version of the album soon where it will be on as well.
Another song that will also most likely be on the deluxe version is "Potion For Love", which she performed live ~2 weeks ago at a US radio station (she is touring the US right now). It is a "sister song" to "Exist For Love" from the newest album:
youtu . be / 3tQoTk9p1M0
To hear an awesome Duet check out Within Temptation Somewhere it's a duet with Sharon den Adel and Anneke Van Giersbergen
Please may you consider reacting to No One Dies From Love by Tove Lo! Thank you 😄❤️🔥
