The Norwegian singer, Aurora has resurfaced to fame recently, thanks to tik tok and Instagram reels. She is a gifted songwriter and singer. Her music is infused with layers of meaning and sometimes, a halo of an enigma. For all the frozen fans out there, you will be surprised to know that she is the enchanting voice of the north wind which calls Elsa to follow the true purpose of her life. Aurora, just like the north wind inspires us through her moving songs. Here is a list of songs you can just listen to and feel with all nakedness and rawness of your being. The list begins with of course the songs on trend!
1. Runaway
Mood: This one hits the right chords
Sometimes, existential questions pour into our minds from every direction. In this pandemic, we have often felt the dread and weight of the questions. This song is about the momentary joy of life, the cry let out due to the weight of the world, and the longing for the ‘home’. It is about a calling from ‘home’ which is heaven or any perfect place we envision to be after leaving this body. It is a song with both open-ended lines and with hart hitting thoughts!
2. Queendom
Mood: When you are in a happy mood
This is a loud and melodic song of difference and acceptance. It is about respecting and accepting the different shades of human beings. Be the difference in terms of sexual orientation or race or disposition or nature, everyone can sing their song. Everyone belongs in the queendom. This song is both a feminist anthem and a safe space in itself!
3. Conqueror
Mood: For a positive vibe
When everything around is tumbling down and nothing is making sense, we try to find a saviour. This song is about finding the saviour who would conquer our fears and doubts. The conqueror we are searching for is not someone else, rather is it all of us. The conqueror is within us.
4. Apple Tree
Mood: Hopeful and energetic
This song is an anthem about agency and being oneself unapologetically. It is about unravelling the potential in all of us. It is about the search for purpose in life. The song echoes that the world can be saved by the power in all of us.
5. Warrior
Mood: Hopeful
The world lets us down in many ways. It is unfair and unkind. In such a world, how do we keep our belief in humanity intact? Sometimes we let ourselves down. In such a state, how do we keep the belief in the power of agency intact? Only love can save us. Indeed, let love conquer both the demon within and the demon out in the world.
6. The River
Mood: When you want to feel hopeful
We often bottle up our emotions especially our sadness. We don't allow ourselves to feel and express ourselves completely. This song is made up of soulful words that urge us to let go of such inhibitions and feel all that is to be felt. Aurora, being true to her style, always brings out the nuances of living in this complicated yet beautiful world.
7. Forgotten Love
Mood: When you fall in love
How elated we feel when we love someone! But love comes with its trials, with its risks. What if we lose the loved one suddenly? What would happen to our life then? This song crawls into the most treasured part of our hearts and makes us feel the vulnerability of love.
8. Exist for Love
Mood: When you are in love
This song perfectly describes the euphoria of falling for someone. In the initial days, the lovers feel as if they exist only for love. Aurora's soothing voice brings out the depth of the lyrics beautifully. If you need a song to slow dance to with your partner, then here it is!
