This entire concert is a Masterpiece. Those lucky people who were there. Aurora sings in the moment, either she is deep within the song and the world is outside her or she is deep in the audience and sings for them. You either see her coming back as the song ends or the joy on her face reflecting the audiences joy in her.

What sets Aurora apart from other artists for me is her songwriting ability,she is never afraid to write about subjects that other artists shy away from,the lyrics in this song are outstanding it’s a masterpiece and there is no one that even comes close to her ability of telling you the story of what is happening it’s as if you are there seeing what she is seeing,Aurora is simply a GENIUS ❤️

The Current version is probably slightly more popular, but I go back and forth on which one I like better. I love the orchestra backing her here, and she does more vocal acrobatics. The Current version is acoustic with just Aurora and the great Silja Sol on acoustic guitar and backing vocals, and it is beautifully intimate. You should really watch that one too, either on your own, or on another reaction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U-N6LqzdIM

Recommendation for your private enjoyment is this same song "Live At The Current" if you haven't seen it. There is even more to see as a vocal coach in that version I think, and her amazing harmonies with Silja Sol, it is a classic performance now.
Any song from the Nidarosdomen concert is good, maybe the cover "Walking In The Air" next? Unless you want to save it for December.
Another idea is "Little Boy In The Grass", but it would be amazing with a double reaction video with the Nidarosdomen version AND the version from "Mahogany Session". They are so very different versions of the same song, the Nidarosdomen version is very upbeat with the orchestra behind her, and Mahogany Session version is just her with "Odd Martin" on acoustic guitar, and it is very somber and sad.
The topic of the song is very sad, it is about the massacre on July 22nd, 2011 in Norway on the island of Utøya, where Aurora lost a friend/boyfriend at the age of 15. Quote from 2015 when the song was released:
"Today is the day. 22nd of July. It's been 4 years since you left us. Since all of you left us. how time flies, we even find ourselves forgetting for a moment, nearly moving on.. Not because we forget you, but because we remember to live. But know that I will always remember you, and everyone that went down with you. I will think of love, and send love to those who needs it this today. I hope no one is crying alone. Rest in peace my friend. You are free now."
Quote from 2019 article:
"Aurora: ....and then I had someone I was very close to who died on Utøya. A boy I was in love with. He was wonderful.
- Were you his girlfriend?
Aurora: We were probably that, even though I was very young then. I was 15 when he passed away. He was 17."

So glad to see you back with Aurora. Yes, this Nidarosdomen concert is superb. May I suggest you react to a song you haven't heard yet.
Aurora- Winter Bird Live in Nidarosdomen : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oioAjSS13Ww
To see how physical she can get, you need to see her with her dancers 😍
AURORA - Running With The Wolves @ La Cigale, Paris, France [30th october 2018] : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsoGMLWAYJs
Plus all the others I've suggested elsewhere ... in fact her complete repertoire 😍

You should give a chance to the "live at current" version.
Especially since you are a music specialist.
Don't get me wrong, this song in this cathedral is amazing.
But the more stripped down version, 2 voices and one guitar, and in such a quiet way, that you can even hear the flooring squeak....
I would have liked to know your opinion in terms of comparison between the two.
I miss the hamonisaon with Silja here, but on the other hand I really like the instrumentation.
Anyway... you should think to watch and react to the whole Nidarosdomen concert...
There is also a really touching and lovely Aurora between the songs :)
I really appreciated the quality of the information you provided here, as well as the way you reacted to her performance. Takk :)
