Hi there ! This is an unofficial release, a song that she composed with 13 years, after losing a close friend in a car accident. And she played this song at her friend's funeral. Luckily, someone recorded it… one of her saddest songs, in ,my opinion..- simple, but also realy beautiful. Thanks for reacting to this one.
Greetimgs from a German Aurora fan : Gerry
Aurora wrote the song for one of her friends who died in a car crash. At the funeral she sang it for the first and last time. The family wanted this song published on the internet and Aurora agreed.
The video itself is fan made.
Beautiful, but one has to disregard the subtitles and just watch her and listen.
If I’m not wrong (someone correct me if I am), she wrote this song for a dear friend who lost her life in a car accident. She only played it at her funeral and never released. The mother asked for the song to be public for all to experience.
The depth of it all is heartbreaking and beautiful 💔
Hello there my favorite guys. You have so right. Almost everytime her songs is more of reflections of her time here in the world. But this song is very personal. She sung this song in a funeral of one of her friends (if i am have this right) Her voice here is so raw nd heartfelt. For me it's a crier and i didn't listen to ot so often, because it's to close to me. LOVE!!!!
It’s always nice to see you back with Aurora🥰
The video is fan made, beautiful though😍
This song always gets to me🥺❤️
I’m thinking about Aurora and the friend she lost in a car accident in 2014, and that she sang it in her funeral🥺🥺
I also think of the ones I’ve lost, so it hits hard💔❤️
I think this audio was from the funeral, because Aurora never meant for it to be heard by others.
Her friends mom posted it on social media, because she felt it was a song people needed to hear🙏❤️
😊👍
Nice reaction, I think you have a very good understanding of this marvelous artist, Aurora, like no other. For her the music is about emotions, not the perfect note (although she nails it all the time unless she doesn't want to for some more effect to the emotion). Thanks for coming back to my favorite artist and I read the comments below and I have no more to add, except, please come back to her soon.
Thank you guys for your beautiful reaction video. You always give the best reactions to Aurora! This song for the friend lost in a car crash, the song 'Under the Water' for the friend lost to suicide and the song 'Little Boy in the Grass' for the close friend lost in the Utoya, Norway tragedy … all are emblematic of the sorrow she has wrapped herself in writing these and other songs. I believe she speaks of this from the lyrics of 'Infections of a Different Kind' – "And I beg, I beg to be drained from the pain I've soaked myself in So I can stay okay And more than okay for a while".
I always get mixed emotions (and very wet eyes) when I hear this song. It is so beautiful and sad – but I also know I am listening to the only time she ever performed this song – live at the funeral of her teenage friend – for her parents. It is as if a part of me does not really have any right to hear this – but then I remind myself that the mother asked Aurora permission to post the recording on the memorial page on Facebook. Still – it is so crazy intimate. Not least because one can hear Aurora's internal battle to get through it in her voice, making it almost impossibly raw.
Regarding her early thoughts of loving writing more than performing, I think she has nuanced this with age – she now routinely states that her music does not come alive until other people take it in. I think this was a process for a natural introvert like herself, to find peace and confidence with being pinned by stage lights in front of thousands of people.
Oh, by the way – that shirt is dope, madam!
This song is personal for Aurora. She wrote this after her close friend was killed in a car accident. X
It is true that Aurora very often write about what she see and usually is not about her (as you said). But this one is personal for her. As she composed it only for one event: funeral of her friend who died in young age in car accident. She performed it on funeral and this is never released song (video also is not official). But parents of her friend published it (I think on social page) and that is why why can listen to this very personal song. And I listened this song first time with only her standing (back to you) and watching something far. And it was so emotional for me that I cried on several first listens. And I love this song but i listen it very rare as it is so sad and personal.
Thank you for reaction. I love Aurora artistic soul and her music and it was (sad) joy to listen together.
This is a very old song from February 2014 when she was 17, so this is her voice at 17! She made this song for a private funeral for a friend from her class in school who died in a car crash. The only reason we know about this song, is because the girls mother made an open FB post in Jan 2017 on the 3rd commemoration day remembering her daughter with a video full of clips of her with Aurora's song playing. That FB post is still open and available.
The mother wrote this about the song (translated from Norwegian): "It is such a lovely song. It is beautifully written and at the same time so infinitely sad."
And then she quotes Aurora: "It is important that the song can be cried to. That it is reminiscent of grief at the same time that it can relieve a little. This song is Ida's song. And it always will be. I only had her in mind when I sang it, and I think a little part of her is in it if you listen extra carefully."
Only the audio is available from that post on FB, since the video it was attached to was not about Aurora, so this video was made by an Aurora fan. The video clips are from different small documentaries about Aurora and has nothing to do with the song, but I think he chose very well, and they fit the very sad and somber mood of the song somehow enhancing it.
Aurora, this marvelous composer/song writer, and her emotional singing, so powerful.
Thanks for this beautiful reaction to Aurora, so sad here.🙂👍
I enjoy your Aurora reactions very much👍
Oh boy! Got to get prepared for this one because I 😭 every single time when hearing it.
She does this song called ( Scarborough affair ) you all should do a reaction too. You all are wonderful and I really enjoy your reviews. Thank you
This one tugs at my heart strings every time I hear it. Lovely song (done on request) for a friend she lost in an accident.
