Fun fact, your blood released on my birthday. Best gift I could’ve asked for.

This album has been my entire existence since it came out. I had the privilege of seeing her set in Kingston and my god it was something else. My favourite (at the moment) is My Name, the beat and gorgeous vocals from Aurora and Ane just perfect

This album has so much AOTY potential

Been here since the first Aurora reaction 🙌 She truly sets a new bar with every album she releases, and I really like how much you can interpret just from your first listen! It feels like you do her albums justice Also i cant for the life of me choose a top 5, but my favorites are Starvation and My Body Is Not Mine purely because of how crazy it was to hear them for the first time 😭 Like, I was not prepared at allll

Too much stop/ start in the song and in your reaction...

If you want to really be moved listen to 'a case of you' from 'blue'

Always love your analysis. It really got me thinking of the story of the album and after a couple re-listens I think this might be her most heartbreaking one 😅, at least with the ending. Like you mention, in the Step 1 and Step 2 era she had this message of “I will be your guiding light, I will be the queen of our Queendom” and she had taken up this role of being a saviour. But now with this album she’s hurt at the state of the world and starts by trying to convince herself she can still be okay (To Be Alright) but keeps coming back to realizing the world is too hard and too difficult right now (Some Type of Skin) and then getting angry about it (Starvation, The Blade). And in the Blade she talks about protecting “soft hearts” by taking up the fight (“bloodstained hands”) to protect everyone else, and so you think maybe she’ll end it with becoming a warrior again. But instead she ends the album by admitting defeat: “I need you to stop needing me.” “I can’t fix all of your pain because I’m in pain too.” She hasn’t said it outright but I can’t help but interpret Invisible Wounds as her feeling the weight of this burden of being this bright light that people see her as, and realizing that she can’t be that anymore, not until she’s healed for herself.

26:36 What an incredible image you just placed in my head; Aurora, standing atop a glacial shelf, the mountains and blue sky behind and a verdant valley stretching away before her far below, belting out her soul just to be heard, and those hearing emerging from a distant tree line, emerging from all their various ways of life, looking up in unanimous appreciation of someone who can sing out those fundamental connections that bind us all, regardless of the myriad of ways by which we live our lives. That was a nice image to catch and hold on to for a bit. Thanks for that.

I noticed that reactors that listened the singles apart and skip them in the reaction or not listen for the first time the whole album struggled with it Im so glad that you wait and give every song the same amount of attention, auroras albums are thought as a whole in my opinion, you get more of each song in association with the songs before in the album

thanks for your reaction.

I somehow can’t choose favourites from this album. I’m obsessed will all of the songs. I love when the dark dresses lightly, starvation, dreams, invisibles wounds, my name.. Basically all of them.

Absolutely loved your reaction. Here are my top 5: 1. Starvation 2. Do you feel? 3. My Body Is Not Mine 4. Earthly Delights 5. A Soul With No King

My tops: 1) When The Dark Dresses Lightly 2) Dreams (when I listen to this I always wonder if I should it put even higher ;) ) 3) A Soul With No King (x3 versions) 4) The Conflict Of The Mind (actually not sure as this song I know from longer time and maybe I should put it a little lower) 5) Starvation (I wonder If not to put it higher, still did not decide ;) ) - funny think is that at first listen it was my lowest song, I can not explaint it now, why :)) maybe because it was techno end (which I love now how it progress after this more aggressive part and connected with lyrics - "we are decorated bones" is pretty strong :)) ) 6) Earthly Delights (Love it, maybe verses could be a little different to be even higher, but it is beautiful ang longer sounds it feels like something from church a little ) Did not decided other of other songs, but for sure maybe i will put 7) The Blade (she has many references in album to wars which happens currently). My Name is very interesting. To be honest all songs are very strong. Not sure but in my lower parts would be My Body Is Not Mine (BTW: she has many references to AI on album), was not fully convinces to the Essence on the start too. But still great songs.

Not better help...

Thanks for another enjoyable reaction video! 👍Waited for it a week! Really good review analysis. So nice that you look at the lyrics for each song. Agree with so many of your interpretations!

I was so happy to see you here with this reaction. Love your profound analysis. I wish all critics would see this, they dont always understand the depth of the music. You Are so spot on with many things, and you Are able to express things in a way I cant, and you see things I didn’t see. So impressed with your insights. (In her last album, she ended on the moon, I think she starts there in her first song, same soundscape+In To Feel alright she/production actually sound like Madonna. You commented she sings in a different voice. So fun.) The way you describe the songs and the album, I Discover Even more than I originally did. This album is a Conflict of the mind… The songs Are interconnected in ways I look forward to exploring more after seing this. Also: I read that she received a letter that inspired this, from indigenous people(?) you can read about it, dont remember where. And she asks in the title: What happened to the heart (in our society), and then this album is exploring this. So beautiful: both the concept, the album, the songs, Aurora, you, your reaction. Top five: impossible, because it changes all the time, but: The Essence, Dreams, A soul with no King, Starvation, To feel Alright, The Blade Are all up there. Your reaction made me love more of the songs more than I originally did. She is engaged in the things you Are talking about, both environmental issues, mental health, pandemics, technology, of course LGBTQ+, Black lives matter, todays war situation (Ukraine, Gaza++). It’s a lot! So how has the world become like this? What happened to the heart? ..Hope you will see/react to her music videos and live stuff (vivo) as well. And how about an Aurora documentary: Once Aurora (beautiful, costs a bit of money, but worth it, copyright issues, though) or Haik (lovely, free). Anyway: Thank you for this, take care <3

AURORA speaks about A Soul With No King during her live concert in Kingston at Pryzm (11 June 2024): "I feel like our souls are lost, and I feel like our souls don't know what to do. We haven't given them any value, and we haven't given them any [hold/home]. And I feel like we really need to prove to our soul that we're its ruler - and we'd hear it and we will guide it by being just decent, [empathetic], good human beings. And I think about what's happening in Palestine a lot when I sing this song because I don't understand how in the modern time - in modern times like this - that we can disagree on whether something so heartbreaking is wrong or not. I don't understand." 1. To Be Alright 2. Some Type Of Skin 3. Echo Of My Shadow 4. Starvation 5. Invisible Wounds

😊👍

There is a dvd (on UA-cam now) with the drummer explaining how this album was made and how great and new it was.

The Ninth Wave is my favorite. Jig of Life is amazing too. Waking the witch I play over and over. I relate to it. The Dreaming is the other favorite album of hers.

I f........... love you and your reactions, and I love you loving Aurora ❤

You tamed me with the mental health sponsor, and it worked. Thanks for spreading the feels, the mood. I wish I could’ve delivered this 10 years ago. I’m in.

Top 5: 1. Earthly Delights 2. To Be Alright 3. Starvation 4. The Essence 5. My Body Is Not Mine

Like you, I really love this album. It's so diverse and experimental, but still very much Aurora. Current top 5 favorites: The Conflict of the Mind Starvation The Essence A Soul with No King The Blade

Hey, I'm a brazilian and i love your videos, if you ever need portuguese subtitles for your videos hmu

"My Name", "Do You Feel", and "Starvation" completely gagged me on my first listen. I was like "Is this even Aurora?? Is she taking me to the club??" I am so happy she is experimenting and trying new sounds, but it still sounds so much like AURORA. This album blew me away. Also I am completely addicted to the second half of "My Body is not Mine". Just...UGH it's so good. As for my top 5 songs of the album, I'd say they are: 1. Starvation 2. My Body is Not Mine 3. To Be Alright 4. My Name 5. Some Type of Skin

during "My Body is not mine" outro, she's shouting "Cease fire, now! Cease fire, now!".

I love the darker synths - lower voiced Aurora on this album. It is SO GOOD. And yes Aurora is dipping into her metal side; she just did a collab with Bring Me The Horizon called Limousine!! Great reaction as usual Luscent. It gives me such joy to hear other people loving on the incredibly-slept-on brilliance of Aurora. Kelly Clarkson just “discovered” Aurora recently and has sung a few of Aurora’s songs on the talk show BUT she is still at the “Runaway” era. Aurora has expanded and grown so far since then! Everyone that does get exposed to her brilliance does go down the rabbit hole of her genius eventually! No one can resist her magic.

This album honestly feels like a spell to be as one with the universe.

My Top 5!! 1. Starvation 2. My Body is not Mine 3. Earthly Delights 4. Invisible Wounds 5. To Be Alright

Thanks for your empathic and thoughtful analysis of this glorious album. I think the “you” she refers to can be on two levels: an individual lover, but also her public, each of her warrior and weirdos, who give her love, but place such heavy emotional demands on her. She is so insightful into herself and others, and so brilliant in putting those insights into poetry, it is astounding to me. BTW, I cannot choose favourites, each song is my favourite until the next!

Here’re the timestamps cuties <3 4:13 Echo Of My Shadow 9:08 To Be Alright 15:15 Your Blood 🩸 20:28 The Conflict Of The Mind 24:49 Some Type Of Skin 29:38 The Essence 33:30 Earthly Delights 36:49 When The Dark Dresses Lightly 41:38 A Soul With No King 45:22 Dreams 48:57 My Name 52:44 Do You Feel? 55:45 Starvation 1:01:03 The Blade 1:05:17 My Body Is Not Mine 1:11:03 Invisible Wounds

At the end of My Body Is Not Mine people are saying it sounds as though Aurora is screaming CEASEFIRE NOW. It seems as though Aurora is connecting our disconnect with our bodies to those who need us to reconnect and to use our bodies and our hearts to rise up and protest genocide. Also Highly recommended A Soul With No King ( NATURE REMIX) it’s more a different darker rainforesty interpretation of the song and was released before the original and before the album. Some Type Of Skin acoustic and the live vevo performance are also worth checking out.

Your reaction is as artistic and perceptive as her album.

The album is amazing but I truly think the later songs, I'd say from Do You Feel are just on whole other level for Aurora. Absolutely my favorite album of hers

Incredible reaction. Really deep and perceptive analysis.

It is to soon to say tha this is her best album???💙💙💫💫💫

Top 5: 1. The Dark dresses Lightly 2. Earthly Delights 3. The Blade 4. A Soul with no King/Starvation 5. Invisible Wounds but honestly, this is not fair, I cannot chose (also live versions vary, too)

during her live show in Kingston she said in regards to A Soul with no King that she feels like "it's guilt talking to us"

<3 love the album so deeply, the concept behind it, the execution and i have not been listening to anything else since the release. and i love this reaction of yours, too

LOVE THIS REACTIONS!! your analysis is always so eye opening and heartfelt ❤This album just seems to go everywhere with vibes of Florence and the Machine, Conan Grey, Ethel Cain, and even Sophie in parts, while still so absolutely Aurora. Its def one of my fav albums of hers so far and I can't wait to see how she explores these new genres further! My top 5: 1)The Blade 2)When the dark dresses lightly 3)Starvation 4)My body is not mine 5)To be alright (honourable mention: earthly delights)

Very nice reaction🥰 I’m obsessed with this album, imo her best❤️🔥 In “My body is not mine” you can easily hear that Tom Rowlands from Chemical Brothers had a touch on it, he’s credited as a co-writer together with Aurora and Magnus Skylstad 👍 It’s difficult to write down only five favourites lol, but here I go in no particular order: “Your Blood” “Dreams” “Starvation” “The Blade” “Invisible Wounds” Have a great weekend🥰

1. My Body Is Not Mine 2. The Dark Dresses Lightly 3. Do You Feel? 4. Earthly Delights 5. Starvation though my rankings change every hour so ... don't trust it :)

What a great reaction to this incredible album. Your appreciation and understanding of the lyrics is wonderful. My favorites on the album are: Invisible Wounds, Starvation, Echo of My Shadow, The Blade, then I struggle, so many I love the same. Perhaps Conflict of the Mind, or The Dark Dresses Lightly or Some Type of Skin, I just can't, lol

Are you going to upload to yt?

You are amazing. This was the best reaction to the album i have seen so far... your ability to sense those things is stunning 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Amazing reaction my fav 1: invisible wounds 2 echo of my shadow 3: the essence 4: starvation 5:the dark dresses lightly Tysm for the beautiful reaction❤️

I feel like this new personality in her music has always been under the surface. It has often been seen in her collabs with other artists, where they have more metal, techno and dark themes

I encourage to check out the Louis Vuitton Women’s Spring-Summer 2020 Fashion Show - Sophie has a very, very large presence there. It's really cool

Maybe it's time to move with the times and produce albums only in electronic form, because it's a waste of Lungs for your masterpieces.
