Went to the AURORA's concert

AURORA, a Norwegian singer-songwriter is a small girl with her characteristic bob cut in white. Her singing voice is soft but strangely versatile. This was why I started to adore her as soon as Minjoo introduced her to me during lunchtime strolls. Her name was difficult to recognize as a name of a singer at first. When Minjoo asked me “Have you heard Aurora?” I had no idea how I could listen to the sound of Aurora in the night sky. Minjoo then showed me a live video of the AURORA, perhaps Warrior was the name of the song. It aroused my curiosity because her powerful gesture was well-blended with her ethereal voice.
 

 
Her voice is in the range of soprano and I soon realized she took the role of The Voice in the animation Frozen II. There, her sacred resonant voice catches the audience’s attention effortlessly while building up the context of why the main character starts her adventure at this time. Maybe this role made her world-famous and iconic, but as far as I’m concerned, she has been determined and had a strong heart, and rarely stirred by the lightning popularity. She is born to be an artist.
I like her songs mostly in Minor Keys, which usually bring a nostalgic, sad atmosphere and suit the warm-hearted themes of the song lyrics: climate change, heartening to the weak, and so on. She performed and was interviewed in many areas, which I could find on Online sources, and managed to satisfy me. Then one day in February, there was a stroke of luck to meet her with the naked eye. It was her second visit, which her fans described as ‘the queen’s return.’
 

The queen’s return

 
Indeed, it was the queen’s back. The concert started at 8:00. When I arrived at the place 40 minutes before, it was already full of the audience in the unreserved standing zone. My height is suitable for that circumstance. There is usually a less-dense spot behind tall crowds, so I squeeze into the area and stand behind them securing my sight between the heads. I used this strategy again and wished I were sensible enough to arrive at this place way earlier. The waiting was not so tedious because she appeared on the stage around 7:30. I thought I was misinformed about the beginning time, but it was her kindness for us coming out 30 minutes earlier. How kindhearted she is. She brought her Classic guitar, wearing a casual knit with loose hair, and started to sing her unreleased songs. It was only her on the stage, and she looked somewhat surprised when she found her audience packed the room so early in advance. Seemingly she planned a small surprise for those who came up early and most of us were very lucky to receive her gift. That in-between time took a role of a small ice-breaking between her and the audience to increase intimacy and a booster for her main stage.
 

Small performance ahead the main one

 
She left for the BOH and reappeared with her music session with two choruses. She changed up in two pieces of glittering chiffon, wearing her iconic wig. The long-awaited main concert began. If I describe her early 30-min performance as good because I could feel her kindness and modesty, her main stage was literally with endless astonishing moments. Her voice had power. She had formidable and influential strength when she sang her greatest songs. Also, she knows how to express herself as she is and to blow up what is inside of her through her elegant movements. Her improvised dance along with the beat of her music moved us every second and sometimes made me break into tears. I don’t understand how it touched my heart but everything on her stage was inherently natural as she was and the atmosphere around her was something similar to what I have always dreamed about.
 

 
For nearly two hours, she was like an energizing goddess who jumped around the stage end-to-end, waved her arms along to the sound of music, shared her thoughts about how she felt grateful no matter who we were and made small but intense interactions with us. I like how she kept showing how she was thrilled by us, even at the last moment she waved to us from the car roof. That attitude uplifted her audience to become one. 
It is time for me to listen to her songs and get inspiration.
