Domestic violence leads to death of woman, she comes back to haunt him.

As a metal fan, this is also totally out of my comfort zone but I absolutely love it. It's nice seeing a fellow metal head appreciate it 🖤

[hakanandersson]

As a long term metal and rock fan i love to see when a brother in arms like my Queen. I been with this thiny lady for 6 years and i have never ever regret it. Hope you do more of her. Her voice is always soothing but be aware.... Her lyrics could be pretty morbid and harsh.

[davidhill]

Aurora vibrates on a different frequency than most of us. She is unique.

[milkythecat]

It's really awesome how many metal heads appreciated Aurora. So amazing.

Aurora’s Murder song live at the Nobel peace concert is a MUST!!

[SuperMilner]

Her fans, of which I am one, are called the Warriors and Weirdos! Her voice is quite unique and her body becomes an instrument as she sings! You should check out The Seed or The River or Through the Eye’s of a Child Live VEVO stripped! Enjoy your reactions and just subscribed!

[annebritraaen]

yes - she is trancendental - she is a great songwriter, and one of the best live artist I've ever seen. That includes Stones and Springsteen. She have done some good covers too.

At 24, AURORA has quite a diverse repertoire. She's always mesmerizing, and her voice just pulls you in and takes you with her on a journey. Her performances and songs range from folk ballads to orchestral to trip-synth to percussive high energy -- songs often build as you listen to them, adding various elements along the way. I strongly recommend reactions to other live performances, for instance, her highly energetic KEXP performance in Iceland (with Bjork in the audience), where she sings "Churchyard" and "All is Soft Inside.”

Only Aurora can create a song about violence and make it into something beautiful ❤

Hi Matt! You are amongst very few male commentators that didn't pretend not to understand what this song is about, instead talking about only her voice and outfit... Some of them actually laugh away as they listen to it!!! Of course this song is about domestic abuse, I recommend River for you. She wrote it after she read the statistics about male suicide rate and how both genders are a victim of macho male toxicity culture. She also has a song called The murder song 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. I recommend her performance in nobel peace prize concert of 2015. Since it is performed there, it can be interpreted in many ways, such as in wars, where one's lover is injured and suffering but there is no hope of help, or in my case when I had to ask the doctors to end my grandmother's life, or when I had to euthanize my 16 year old Lab/Great dane boy. However she wrote it when she read the story about a man who shot his wife, because of a terminal illness. She performs it in an ambiguous way, because euthanasia is illegal in Norway...So again double meaning...Anyway I applaud your intellect...

[tmsvanes]

What a nice and gentle reaction! So suitable! Yeah, Aurora very often has that effect on you, speaking directly to your heart and soul. Her catalogue is a huge goodie-bag!! Only 24 years old. If you want to hear another great duet with guitar, and would highly recommend Murder Song from the 2015 Nobel Peace Price Concert in Oslo. It's an epic performance.

[brehojojordan]

Performance of a lifetime. So beautiful.

[Rimmsy]

I absolutely love this version of the song... so gentle and soothing

[eefneleman]

There are so many full concerts of her on YouTube.
The problem is, once I start listening, I don't want to stop.
My neighbors have no choice.

[elisangelaferreirasoares]

Without understanding anything Aurora speaks, because I only speak Brazilian Portuguese 🇧🇷, I understand everything at the same time, just because of the emotion she goes through.Thank you perfect author, and her companion too.

[ivanmarquez]

Aurora - Under The Water live is the most rock song from her
