Musician reacts to Aurora - It Happened Quiet (live)

Musician reacts to "It Happened Quiet" live at The Current by Aurora.

Genuinely listening to this song for the very first time.
No pressing pause.

Please do add a comment recommending another song/artist for me to checkout in future! Always on the lookout for great new music.

Aurora (especially together with Silja Sol) can make it sounding so beautiful, that someone can almost forget, that this is a song about domestic violence.

[vincentmb]

Silja is the name of the other.
They have done a lot of work together in Aurora's band, Silja's voice underlining exceptionally well Aurora's already sublime one.
They don't sing together anymore, even if I hope to see them doing occasional little things.
This is one of my favorite Aurora songs. And my favorite version.
I'm so glad you made a reaction to it.
It was beautiful and a great share. Thank you.

Beware of her lyrics, they are as deep as her music. I think her diction is so presice from her first language, Norwegian.
When you are ready for it, the Nidarosdomen Concert is a pure musical Masterpiece. All the songs arranged to suit the acoustics and take advantage of all the available backing artists.

One wonders how is Norway educating its children we have Angelina Jordan and Aurora and its worth watching their version of Norways Got Talent. There is so much Talent in this comparatively sparcely populated country.

Loved this, I always watch reactions to this one because it's so beautiful and should be seen and heard by more ppl.

Hello, you have chosen a very good song. AURORA is the queen of harmonies. This is a masterpiece.
I find it interesting that the lyrics are so sad (violence in relationships leading to death) and on the other hand the music is very beautiful (harmonies) and doesn't give me that sad feeling. The music is more soothing. This contrast struck me in many of her sad songs. Does she want to spread hope? You can change something. You can't let it get to that point. And then everything is better. An invitation to change something, to change yourself. You have it in your own hands. Is that what this contrast is supposed to do?

And let's not forget that this was sung live on a radio station. Many artists want this perfection when they go into a studio and after many, many attempts have recorded their song. And let's not forget that this perfection would not have been possible without her accompaniment and backing vocalist. Silja Sol is also an outstanding singer and musician. AURORA is lucky to work with such good artists. Or is it her ability to choose the right ones? This is also the case with the Murder song at the Nobel Peace Prize concert - as you have already seen.

You should also check out the songs she played at the HAIK concert. The concert took place in the forest where she played as a child. AURORA is very close to nature. And that was the perfect place for a concert. Another important and correct lyrics. Another important and correct lyrics. She sees things at such a young age that other people don't understand in their entire lives.

This song is black humor, which I would not have expected from AURORA. Did she write the song for Halloween?

Give them a phonebook and they’ll still blow you away! Boy do I love this recording!

Aurora surrounds herself with accomplished artists such as Silja Sol here.

OK, I think I've now seen all of your reaction videos concerning Aurora. Unlike SO many other reactors you seem to truly "get" her. This performance in particular. I consider it the best video I've ever seen due to the video quality, audio quality, and the level of the performance itself. (the two other songs, "Churchyard" and "Animal" done at this session are right up there too.) Look, 70 is in my rear view mirror, still play in two cover bands (drums), seen and heard a lot of music in my time. But, nobody has ever reached that deeply into me and resonated the way Aurora can. Excellent and "on the mark" reactions, you now have my sub.

Only Aroura could sing about domestic violence and make sound so beautiful.

[christian]

Beautiful song writing here...melody and lyrics, lovely pictures created through the words.

[almost_harmless]

Ah yes, Aurora and Silja Sol. Match made in heaven. Sadly, Silja Sol is now going back to her solo career (sad for the duets, but probably good for her).

[heidifarstadkvalheim]

Thanks 🙏 the song is about rape - so listen to the lyrics again. Aurora is a special person and she has a empathy that goes way out over her own experiences. Important to have that in mind. Best from Bergen, Norway

Check out her cover of "God is a Woman" and her song "Churchyard"

When Aurora goes in to the section saying you know it happened andf her head does a little twitch is a physical sign her body shown to trauma and the next section when she sings so quiet and starts tapping her body language up and down on her toes is a way to calm yourself so she remembered something that happened to her and it actually caused her to have a physical reaction there. Insane.

[panchiolarranaga]

Demasiado buena so I had to say it in a different my fellow Warriors might have gotten tired of ole Panchio repeating himself but what else could I do Aurora is simply unique a different and original artist and a very special human we're so fortunate she's around chau Batero good job a brilliant reaction!

[larryc]

" Are your dreams as dead as they seem...?" such a sad and disturbing song of a relationship that possibly has is wild', and not in a good bleed in your bed, turn it

[agnesyeche]

Hello Steve !! I like Aurora but I love also an artist called Ren, please try his song 'Hi Ren' it IS awsome too ! 😊
