Her voice is incredibly haunting. The mix with Warunda transports us to the frozen fields of ancient Scandinavia. You can almost hear these voices echoing across the land by the light of campfires.

I saw them live in Dallas last October and it was amazing! Sadly she wasn't there with them but they did this song. They got 3 standing ovations at the end and he did a poem for the encore. If you ever get the chance to see them take it, its a once in a lifetime experience. It's not just a good show, its a healing experience.

Just mythical and magical. Thanks for doing this one. Aurora is a whole other rabbit hole to gone down 💞
There is a version of this where they do it at the bottom of a cliff near the sea. The visuals are incredible, unfortunately the audio on that one is not so great.
Thanks again

Aurora is wonderful human being. I think she and Floor would get along splendidly.
Aurora writes songs that are important. She plays the piano at the age of 6, the lyrics came at the age of 9. At this age she wrote
"Lucky" (live at Niderosdomen)
an anti-suicide song. Aurora sings, writes, produces and composes almost everything herself. You might know her from tiktok. Since she trended with her song
"Runaway" (live Nobel Peace Prize Concert)
in Covid times.
Like Floor Jansen, it is absolutely down to earth. I don't think one have to point out that she is a genius.

helvegen means the way to the afterlife it is a gamel nowegian viking funeral song. it is about honoring and remembering the dead and accompanying them dying into the afterlife

[Azhureus]

Wardruna and Aurora were meant to do this song really. Most beautiful song I have ever heard !!!

[Geralt]

Great song and just love Aurora voice and incredible harmonies between Aurora and Helvegen singer. Also great transition on start between Aurora part and his voice :). Also love this "Viking vibes" :). Generally recommend to jump to Aurora rabitt hole :). She has not bad songs but would recommend f.e. "Lucky" live in Nidarosdomen :).

[mightyravendark]

Great reaction as always😊 One of my favourite songs of all time. You should definitely check out more of Aurora. Her live performance of ”Through the eyes of a child” from Nidarosdomen in Norway is a good start. Also another favourite you should look out is ”Eivør” with her beautiful song ”Falling Free” Live in Torshavn. I promise, You will love it👍

Potion for love/ through the eyes of a child/ the seed/ exhale inhale / queendom
All by AURORA
U HAVE TO REACT TO THESE GEMS

[LakkMetal]

Im Norwegian and love WARDRUNAS music ❤️ its home for me, i have seen them many times. But still they captive me and enchanting 😃 before he introduce Helvegen, he talks about singing praise song for the dead person. And we shout from the crowd * we shall sing You Kvitrafn *.

[stephsteph]

Aurora is great! She is like a fairytale! You could check out her live performance of "Murder Song"!
More Wardruna: "Raido" (goosebumbs allert)

[jo_g.germany]

One of my all-time favourites. It will be played at my funeral one - hopefully still far away - day. 🖤🤘🏻
Edit: Einar does a great collaboration with Faun. The song is called 'Odin'. There is a great live performance of that available on YT. Absolutely worth to check it out. It's not a song, it's a service.

Also worth to check out is Einar's live performance of 'Vikings suite'. And of course anything else by Wardruna 🖤

[mariopardillo]

So glad you did this one! Not only because it is such an awesome musical experience, but also because it introduced you to Aurora. She is a young singer/songwriter/producer from Norway who is quite unique - she is a genre all by herself. This was very different from what she usually does - she usually performs her own songs which are in English and her lyrics are quite insightful and thought provoking. I'd recommend you check out her live performance of her song "Runaway" performed at the 2015 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. Many of her music videos are mini masterpieces, but her live performances are something else altogether.

[mikeconway]

Great choice! You will have to listen to more Aurora.

[janhokke]

Heyy, Jynger, thanks for this reaction, AURORA is indeed a rabbit hole, if you like her the way you reacted to her, there is much more to explore, for example I'm Running With The Wolfs Tonight, thanks again, Love you take care, till next 😉

[lillm]

Nice reaction👍

Helvegen (path/road to Hel)

In Norse mythology, Hel is an underground realm of the dead where it was believed that most people ended up when they died. In Norse cosmology, north is the direction towards cold and death. It is therefore understandable that Hel is cold and intractable, and that the road there leads "north and down".

Hel is also the name of the ruler of the underworld. She is motherly and terrifying, and her skin is part blue-black like that of a corpse and part human-colored. She is very greedy and does not easily give up the dead who end up with her.

This song and others from Wardruna and Einar Selvik are in the Vikings series, and Einar has several small acting roles in it😊

Please react to more Aurora, she’s so unique and diverse in her music 😍😍

A great place to start is with “Runaway” which she wrote when she was 11 years old💕
Live at the Nobel peace prize concert 2015👍

[jamesnelson]

Wardruna, Danheim, Skald, among others are sources of mystical music. Not to be missed.

[larsm]

So - you stumbled across Aurora, that's another amazing rabbit hole for you. Trust me - you will love it :) Wardruna of course, is also amazinf

[Deku_]

Please please do more Aurora! Black water Lilies live at the Honda stage is magic in its purist form!💙

[craigbolton]

BTW, this is the song they play when Floor Jansen is busy carrying you into Valhalla
