"death makes everything meaningful, and meaningless at the same time" -AURORA 2:34
yes everything she said is magical, i almost cried watching this because the meaning is very relatable
❗
that quote is insanely wise

she is
Right

“Death, It makes everything kind of meaningless but also it makes everything meaningful” Aurora is so profound.
What does this mean?
@@theprinceoflight15 Death is meaningless because everything is temporary, but death is also meaningful because it is that same "temporary" that we do what we can with our mortal lifetime.

I love the fact even though you don't like it you can recognise that it's a beautiful song and be respectful about it. We need more people like you :)
yeah I'm the same way. Usually this isn't my kind of music, and the first time I heard it I wasn't sure whether or not I liked it, but it grew on me and now it's in my playlists. The chorus is so powerful and speaks to me on a lyrical and emotional level; I'm in college right now and so naturally I have homesickness from time to time and this song comforts me.

😅yeah a lot
she looks like she'll start a trend for the next 5 yrs
I love how the song is telling 100 stories not just one
Even If she is not singing, her voice and speech is soo melodical
It’s the accent
@@No_Relation_666it's the talent.
@@nympheiasdiary talent has nothing to do with this conversation because it’s not something she is actively trying to do it’s just the natural effect the Norwegian accent has
@daisydaisy1767 but you also need a good voice and talent to sing and make these songs , talent is part of this conversation.
@@nympheiasdiary no because her music wasn’t mentioned, op said her voice sounds melodical even when she’s not singing, I simply added that it’s her accent causing it. Her music wasn’t part of this. It’s about her normal speaking voice. And honestly I don’t like how you’re arguing here because you’re putting me in a position where it seems like I’m saying she’s not talented, of course she is talented. But how she sounds when speaking normally is not effected by her talent
She sounds EXACTLY like the recorded version, no autotune AT ALL
man you'd be surprised how much different the arrangements she does sometimes too, like you'd think something's amiss when she just swapped the intro with the bridge and you won't really think of it that much lol
@@banheesos For me that's part of the beauty in the way she does music. It's never the same.
yes
Sir, we dont do that here.
Autotune is not a badthing tho
that’s crazy to think that it took 6 years for Aurora to finally get a genius interview 😭
smfh😒
@@andreashuwae8273 lol
I thought exactly the same
RIGHTT
I knowww right??? Almost 4 years of being a warrior and weirdo 😊
The way she thought at 11 is so impressive. This is whole song is a masterpiece and unbelievable impressive especially when you know the story behind. Since I first heard the song I cry so bad every time I hear it, after watching this interview I will even cry more. I really feel all of her pain in her voice that’s amazing. All my respect to this wonderful women, please don’t ever let this song die. I cried during the whole Interview. Awesome
Keep in mind she has been rediscovering and reinterpreting the meaning of this song over the years. She tapped as a child into something profound, and her brilliance resides into having held onto it
"The world seems to just listen to whoever shouts the loudest and people who really need help seem to only manage to say it so quiet that maybe only the dogs can hear it.. like those invisible sounds that humans can't even hear." I've never heard someone say something that just felt so spot on, it definitely struck a nerve. She's wise beyond her years.
This is even more poignant now...
the fact that she probably has sung this song a million times before and still stings every word with such emotional connection and meaning is so amazing.
Yes 🥺
Yes
@Srednestatisticheskii Indeed
that is the hardest thing about making music... i've written just a few songs but they have to be so good for me to even want to sing them after days of working on them... you really have to take a break away from it. i assume when she is not touring, she probably rare if ever practises this song :P it's just innate
“All your mistakes should be meaningless, cause we are gonna die anyway, and all your accomplishments and everyone you love, that should be meaningful because it might disappear one day.”
She's so beautiful, I can't
It's seems like Heidegger. I wonder if Aurora read it.
well if we use your example everything is meaningless and the good side your talking abt makes no sense
When I say that hit me hard.... *speechless
@@gutenbraggan293 exactly! That is why you should treasure and hold on to good and happy moments, and let go off regrets
She is mad talented sounds exactly the same as the studio version.
I heard this song in Sky : Children of the Light video game as part of a collaboration season. I heard it at the right time as I had recently lost my mother to covid. Whether I wanted to or not, I cried for her. I found my strength in this song. I know I can go on without her by my side, but I'll carry her everywhere I go.
That is so profound and I hope you find solace
Am sorry for that, but take this my friend... death is not an end of someone, is just an end of the body ❤ i love you and I hope to meet you one day somewhere even if it's in eternity life
Ahh nice to see a fellow sky player and I heard this the first time through that game as well
"I've been very obsessed with death... whee!"💀😭
😭😭😭
That’s my fav part😭😭
I was dying when she said that🤣💀🤧

The way she didn't just explain the song but explained many things like life, death, and nature
Honestly, that just made my heart peaceful hahaaha
she sounds like someone has been enlightened
She is really awake 🌿
Honestly everyone needs a friend like her in their lives she’s so genuine and so wise and motivating it’s really rare
Imagine if everyone was like her!
I refuse to believe this magical being is human. Aurora has such a meaningful outlook on life and death, and every sentence that she says is so deep inspiring, not to mention her singing and voice are incredible! we need more people like her in the world.

Maan Listening to her voice at 3 am is so healing. She's like a Wood Nymph speaking to your soul.
Couldn't agree .. hits differently when you're all alone and depressed. Her voice is just magical .
She is as vulnerable as finely spun glass and as strong as high carbon steel. Her art rips you apart and heals you at the same time. Who does that? Her art is almost too intense to bear, but you can't look away. She is a siren in the form of a wood nymph. Resistance is futile!

@Naziphobic the dudes name is robotic 👨🦳
I can appreciate her heavenly vocals, but what is absolutely captivating, is how beautifully poetic the lyrics are, the things she says can only be obtain by one who has lived in sorrow, and yearned for a lost loved one, her perspective is soo true for me, to my deepest core. Memories of the ones you lost flood your mind until you fill to the brim and it starts to spill out into the open world through some expression, be it song, painting, or doing old things you used to do together. The thing is, while we try to grasp at what we feel like is fleeting, we fail to realize, it lives inside us, and no matter the distance or passage of time, we could never lose it, because it is in our hearts, it is a part of us now.
i don’t think i’ve ever found such comfort in music aside from her’s. i’m a cellist, i live for music, and her’s has forever been the music that i find myself in. god she’s amazing.

Oh, yeah and my mom's name is also Aurora and she has the same kind of soothing voice and views the world through a colorful kaleidoscope lens too.
“The world seems to listen to those who shout the loudest and those who need help talk so low that only the dogs can hear it“ this is so true! And it encompasses what’s going on in the world run

What an amazing voice. I'm old and weary of death. My life was a blood bath. I was bombarded with death at a young age and it it continued for many decades. The cops were killing us, we were killing us, the drugs were killing us. Weariness from my own self destructive path finally became too much. I just couldn't seem to die like so many had. This tale she told had my eyes leaking pretty good. She seems so delicate and the world is so hard. Her voice is a thing of beauty.
