May the force be with you.
I can tell you a bit of me as a child, how young Aurora was before she started doing any of this.
I was quite a strange, but there are many strange children in this world.
And I wore a superhero robe.
And I had imaginary friends.
It was a boy called ALK.
Kind of, kind of, yeah.
Couldn't see him because he was invisible obviously, but I knew that he had blue hair.
He was a child from Norway, a frozen human being.
They even made when he had his own plate.
His food was also invisible of course, you know, so no, but I made him dinner, invisible dinner.
I think it was like pancakes or something, I can't remember, but I think it was, you know, the same thing I liked, you know, so we could eat the same thing.
and I think that was pancakes really I love pancakes 40 minutes from Bergen but the place yeah but the place I live another 15 minutes away from Oost so even more far away it's almost in the forest it's by the sea and it's four mountains it's quite lovely there so do you think yes absolutely crazy imagination and I always made up almost everything I knew going to school I just made my own stories and I drifted away and I forgot why
I was at school.
It was very like, I don't know, I just had a really big need for everything to be even more wonderful.
And my brain helped me with that.
It was quite easy because I was really determined to learn English and to learn how to speak and to read English.
Because my biggest hero in the world was Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen.
And, you know, I to them every day as a child.
Age of nine, that was when I started to write songs with lyrics.
And obviously I wanted to write them on guitar because my big heroes, they wrote songs on guitar.
And I didn't know much, you know, I was self-taught, self-taught, both on guitar and piano.
I could only do the easy stuff on guitar.
And that's kind of started, you know, it was more about the lyrics than, you know, the way...
had the melody moved or if there was chords in there.
It was more about just telling the story in a...
in a good way and make people just focus on the story itself kind of yeah but you know what i mean about soup is that it's a this is kind of a certain thing it's a very good thing it's a wonderful thing but you know humans are not meant to swim in a soup and that's kind of how i feel sometimes that it's very strange and you know the getting having your photo photo taken with people it's quite strange and it's not the thing i will ever it's just very with you know it's a strange
thing for me but I kind of I always get very nervous before going on stage but it helps me to just change my focus because I know that now people actually they come to my show and sometimes they pay to see me and to hear me and that's why I need to make sure that they feel like try to give all those people the best experience this week at least and I just try to do but that helps to just think about the audience instead of yourself kind of well
And all my songs are quite emotional.
And I guess I just, I think I would find it very difficult to sing them standing still.
I don't think that would be possible even because I need to tell, you know, there's so much emotions in them and I can't, I'm quite tiny, you know, so I need to.
So it kind of explodes on the way out of my body.
And I think that's why I kind of spasms now and then.
I've never been that, I never care that much about celebrities, you know, but obviously, you know, I've seen,
her on stage and I've seen her a documentary and I thought that was really lovely and she seems like a very wonderful person but what I appreciate most is that she nice to meet her without her costume and her wigs and her makeup yeah so I met Caitlin not Katy Perry and that was really wonderful to just meet her and it was very strange and she was just a normal girl and she just wanted to talk and I actually asked her if it was horrible to be and she said sometimes
but most of the time yeah it is because it's not a thing you should take for granted it's just I still get very moved by it I don't know it's yeah it's just a very it's so strange every time but it's very wonderful and it's it's very surreal giving so much love to you I got signed by my management two years ago made they're called and they're really great and I wouldn't have been here without them I know that um two years ago and then I had my first real show one
year ago at this Norwegian festival called Bylarm in Oslo.
Got me signed because after that festival, you know, there's so many males and it was very strange.
It was very strange and my manager just got like 100 males a day suddenly about people wanting to, you know, be a part of this team.
And then after a while, because I didn't really feel it when I'm, you know, I always needed to meet the people, but I never felt, can I say that?
I never felt it, but I'd
I did feel it when I met anyone I met at Decca.
I think it was six months after the performance.
So they were quite late in, even, you know.
But still, we waited almost six months before we decided to sign to anyone, even though we had many options before that.
It just felt very real.
And they kind of... They care about me and my music.
Which I think is very special in this industry.
And I think I'm very lucky to be signed by them.
But I can hold my breath for quite a long time actually.
So I think that will be fine.
And I'm also quite good at swimming in soups.
So I think I will survive.
But I'm quite scared about it as well.
I just want to be able to continue to do what I do.
And I guess I have to... But I miss my home though.
I miss the trees at home.
and the silence, and there's so many people in the world.
I've never seen this many people, you know, have one place, because I'm not used to that in a way, I think.
Around 20 people live.
So, you know, you get the picture.
I'm ready for it.
But I haven't really been ready for anything that's happened.
So I think I'm just going to keep on doing it as I've been doing it for the last year.
Yeah, but it's strange.
I don't even want to think about what might happen.
But I'm very excited too, of course.
But, you know, it's strange.
A Jedi about it, I think.
I love it when you find yourself physically
in the place where it's exactly where you should be.
It feels very right.
I'm feeling very appropriately coordinated with the world and that's very nice.
My experience so far here at the COP26 here in Glasgow is very inspiring.
I'm meeting a lot of good people.
Some people that have done great things.
Some people that have done great small things but equally as great.
I feel like it's a very
it's very spiritual.
I do strongly believe that neither art, music or fantasy books or anything lovely would exist without our planet and without nature to be the great divine source of inspiration that she is every single day.
I'm reading a lot of fantasy books that takes place in nature and I love to read about, I love to read when humans try the best they can describe her
because she's so complex that it's almost impossible to find any words worthy of her, if that makes sense.
But I'm enjoying seeing people try.
I'm enjoying trying myself as well.
But right now I'm reading a book called The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rutfuss.
I strongly recommend.
I'm feeling very saddened.
Land lost.
I'm feeling very saddened on behalf of all the indigenous people around the world who mostly have this
amazing connection with Mother Earth, almost, you know, spiritual.
And I can't imagine how much it must have hurt to lose your friends and to die while trying to protect your land, the little that's left of it, and then seeing, also seeing it disappear when you care so deeply.
I find it really, really heartbreaking.
I find it really heartbreaking that people, that we managed to extinct a whole species that's taken millions of years to, and then
And it takes us two years to remove its whole existence.
It's just so unproportional and so confusing and so incredibly heartbreaking.
And also the fact that, you know, this is the only planet with life within the whole of the universe as far as we know.
And still we're managing to ruin it.
It's such a rare thing.
My relationship with the planet right now is very heartbroken.
And I'm feeling very like you're gasping for air because the sense of emergency is so present.
