I Went Too Far (MK Remix)

* Decca
* Glassnote/Petroleum

"**I Went Too Far (MK Remix)**" is a remixed version of "I Went Too Far" by Marc Kinchen (better known under his artist name MK). It was released on July 15, 2016.

## Lyrics

I went too far when I was begging on my knees

Begging for your arms, for you to hold around me

I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet

Waiting for your love, waiting for our eyes to meet

I went too far when I was begging on my knees

When I cut my hands, so you could stand and watch me bleed

I went too far and kissed the ground beneath your feet

Standing in my blood, it was a taste of bittersweet

Crying

Give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Why can't I turn around and walk away?

Go back in time?

I had to turn around and walk away

I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

I'm left behind with an empty hole

And everything I am is gone

I try to reach for another soul

So I can feel whole

Oh, give me some love

Oh, give me some love

Crying

Give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Why can't I turn around and walk away?

Go back in time?

I had to turn around and walk away

I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

Crying

Give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Oh, give me some love, give me some love and hold me

Give me some love and hold me tight

Why can't I turn around and walk away?

Go back in time?

I had to turn around and walk away

I couldn't stay, I had to walk away

Icarus

**Icarus** is an electronic duo by Bristol-based brothers Ian and Tom Griffiths, formed in 2013.

Both Ian and Tom played in bands (Ian on guitar, Tom on bass) prior to becoming enamoured with production while studying music. Tom's work varied from metal and rock to drum & bass. Ian, meanwhile, was consumed by his older brother's mixtapes and D&B artist LTJ Bukem. Those early tastes evolved with further inspiration from the soundtracks of Hans Zimmer and Cliff Martinez, as well as a retro-futuristic nod to eighties production style.

Radio 1's Annie Mac has stated that Icarus are "fast becoming the masters of emotive dance music". They landed three *Hottest Records in the World*: for "Home" in January 2016, for their edit of Arle's "Close to You" almost a year later, and for their track "King Kong".

## Works with AURORA

* "Home (with Icarus)" - AURORA recorded vocals for this track and it samples her unreleased track "Gone".
My Heart Is a Storm

"**My Heart Is a Storm**" is an unreleased song by AURORA. It was recorded in 2013 and was performed live several times in 2014. It is unknown why it wasn't released on her debut studio album *All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend*.

The studio version was leaked in April 2021.

## About the song

Questioned about the song in 2016, Aurora said:

> "I think my heart is very often in a storm. I am a tiny person and I feel many things. I am not afraid to feel because I love myself to cry and to be angry for a little while if there is any trouble in me. I like to put it in music, in painting or in yoga. I am very emotional and I cry a lot, I am scared and I think, I laugh and I am angry, so I like to feel so many things. And I often have the feeling that my heart is a storm, it can be in many ways. If you are in love, when you have butterflies in your belly, then you have a storm in your heart. That can be both, being scared and being so torn apart. When you feel so much and you forget about everything else that is when your heart is a storm."

## Lyrics

Shake off the frost inside my soul

The icy fingers trying not to let me go

A sea lies underneath my ribs

It's growing stronger now, my heart is so restless

Carried by the wind

Running with the river

Waiting for the moment

When the silence breaks with a thunderous roar

Seasons change and I transform

My heart is a storm

When the time has come I fly away (fly away)

Wings of a silver hurricane

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart

My heart is a storm

I shed the skin I need no more

Reveal the colours I have never shown before

It spreads like particles of light (It spreads like particles of light)

You'll see me shimmering like crystals in the sky

Carried by the wind

Running with the river

Waiting for the moment

When the silence breaks with a thunderous roar

Seasons change and I transform

My heart is a storm

When the time has come, I fly away (fly away)

Wings of a silver hurricane

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart

My heart is a storm

All I want is to drift forever

Dive into a complete surrender

Free to follow this rumbling feeling

Free to ride off into the distance (My heart is a storm)

All I want is to drift forever (My heart is a storm)

Dive into a complete surrender (My heart)

Free to follow this rumbling feeling (My heart is a storm)

Free to ride off into the distance

When the silence breaks with a thunderous roar

Seasons change and I transform

My heart is a storm

When the time has come, I fly away (fly away)

Wings of a silver hurricane

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart

My heart is a storm

My heart is a storm

My heart

My heart is a storm

Wrecking Ball

"**Wrecking Ball**" is a song originally released by Miley Cyrus that AURORA covered for the NRK P3 radio show Christine in 2014.

## Lyrics

We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain

We jumped, never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell

A love no one could deny

Don't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can't live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

And all you ever did was wreck me

Yeah you, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky

And now you're not coming down

It slowly turned, you let me burn

And now we're ashes on the ground

But don't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

But I can't live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

And all you did was wreck me

Yeah you, you wreck me

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

And instead of using force

I guess I should've let you win

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

Guess I should've let you win

Don't you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

And all you did was wreck me

Came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

And all you did was wreck me

Yeah you, you wreck me

## Lyrics

First things first

I'ma say all the words inside my head

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been

The way that things have been

Second things second

Don't you tell me what you think that I can be

I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea

The master of my sea

Singing my heartache to my brain

Take up my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty in the pain

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

Pain

You take me up, you break me down, believer, believer

Pain

I let the bullets fly, I let them rain

My luck, my love, my god, they came from

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

Third things third

All the prayer to the people up above

All the hate that you've seen has turned your spirit to a dove

Your spirit to a dove

I was choking in the crowd

Leaving my heart up in the clouds

Falling to ashes on the ground

Hoping to drown into the pain

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

Pain

You break me up, you break me down, believer, believer

Pain

Make the bullets fly, I let them rain

My luck, my love, my god, they came from

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

You're the face of the future

You're the blood in my veins

You're the face of the future

You're the blood in my veins

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

Pain

You break me up, you break me down, believer, believer

Pain

You let the bullets fly, I let them rain

My luck, my love, my god, they came from

Pain

You make me a, you make me a believer, believer

The Universe Sent Me

"**The Universe Sent Me**" is a song by The Chemical Brothers featured in their ninth studio album *No Geography*. AURORA is featured on vocals and is credited as co-writer, it is one of several songs they worked on together.

## About the song

The English electronic duo said to Apple Music:

> "Aurora really made this by coming up with these amazing images. Sonics-wise, there are a lot of ideas and a lot of movement. There are moments where it almost feels that whole thing has gone too far, the way it builds and then you’re back down. It's a rolling psychedelic journey, for want of a better word."

## Lyrics

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in

The universe has sent me a message

It came in a flower, encrypted with time, time, time, time

Ecstatic emotions, drive right through me

Pointy like fingernails on a beautiful lady

You should know I lie when I told you I was nervous

Nervous (nervous, nervous)

The universe has sent me a message

It came in a flower, encrypted with time (time, time)

I smelled it with my mind and begin to search for something

Search for something

And search for something in something

And slowly I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in (And we become divine)

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

I cave in, I cave in, I cave in

## Lyrics

Wrap yourself in a world of light

You know how

How beauty changes all the time

Open up your vision

And close your eyes

And feel the world that lies behind

Our changing perception is just a part of the transformation

Do you feel it rise

I see it rise, I see it rise (do you feel it rise)

I see it rise

Do you feel it rise

I see it rise, I see it rise (do you feel it rise)

I see it rise

Do you feel it rise

Tell me can you remember life

The same way

We know that life remembers you

In the place where it all collides

And an open mind

The sky is green, the grass is blue

Our changing perception is just a part of the transformation

Do you feel it rise

I see it rise, I see it rise (do you feel it rise)

I see it rise

(do you feel it, know the feeling)

(do you feel it, know the feeling, know the feeling)

Do you feel it rise

I see it rise, I see it rise

I see it rise

(Do you feel it, know the feeling)

(Do you feel it, know the feeling)

(Do you feel it, know the feeling, know the feeling)

Do you feel it rise, do you feel it rise

Do you feel it now, do you feel it now

Do you

Do you feel it, know the feeling

Do you feel it, know the feeling

Do you feel it, know the feeling, know the feeling

Do you feel it rise, do you feel it rise

Do you feel it now, do you feel it now

Do you

Do you feel it, know the feeling

Do you feel it, know the feeling

Do you feel it, know the feeling, know the feeling

Do you feel it rise

Do you feel it now

It's emotional, transformational, it's so beautiful

Do you feel it rise

Do you feel it now

It's emotional, transformational, it's so beautiful

Do you feel it rise

It is not known if there is a studio recording of the song, nor why the song was not included on her debut EP or debut album.

## Lyrics

Oh, she's a little feisty one, a little temptress

Standing on the pavement in her cold, red, silky dress

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

Her smile may be sedusive when she calls your name

Waves you to her corner and invites you to a game

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

And all those days

Just giving love away

And all those years

Fooling many to wild affairs

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

You see worries

Faces turn against her, hate has made them blind

What they never think about is the sad story behind

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

In her little heart lies a cherished hope that when

Evil thing within her dies, she'll learn to love again

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

And all those days

Just giving love away

And all those years

Fooling many to wild affairs

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

You see worries

All those days, giving us all the way

All those days, giving us all the way

All those days, giving us all the way

All those days, giving us all the way

And all those days

Just giving love away

All those years

Fooling many to wild affairs

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

But when you look in her eyes you see worries

## Lyrics

Tell me

Is your father a good man?

It's surprising how little

He seems to understand

His daughter was my savior

Sure, she can be a little indecisive

But, I don't have to make her choose 'cause

This is how it goes

Watching it unfold (Watching it unfold)

Playing my own role (runaway on 'em)

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

Make me leave this home

This is what you chose (This is what you chose)

I can't let him go (runaway on 'em)

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

In our house

The quiet is so loud

I'll never hear a single

word you wanna shout

Oh god!

You're just a child!

Oh he can be a little too invasive

And I just want to live

This is how it goes

Watching it unfold

Playing my own role

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

Make me leave this home

This is what you chose

I can't let him go

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

Tell me

Is your father a good man?

It's surprising how little

He seems to understand

His daughter was my savior

Sure, she can be a little indecisive

But, I don't have to make her choose 'cause

This is how it goes

Watching it unfold (Watching it unfold)

Playing my own role (runaway on 'em)

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

Make me leave this home

This is what you chose (This is what you chose)

I can't let him go (runaway on 'em)

Dum dum ditty dum dum ditty daddy don't

Jon Blund

**Jon Blund** is a Norwegian song originally sung by Edle Stray-Pedersen that AURORA covered live for NRK's Christmas Concert in 2018.

## Lyrics

Hvem er denne karen med sekk og lue på?

Han minner litt om nissen i grunn

Det er ikke han, det er Jon Blund

Han besøker store og små

Ja, Jon Blund har med seg hver kveld til alle små,

no' spennende, no'morsomt, no' rart

Kveldens vakre skygger kommer snart,

kan du kjenne gleden du får

Jeg er alltid søvnig når Jon Blund drar avsted

Jeg lukker meg og drømmer om han,

verdens harde kanter blir til vann

I min kalde sjel er det fred

## About the song

In a Facebook post in 2015, Aurora referred to the Utøya massacre in 2011 and to someone important to Aurora who passed away that day. She wrote:

> "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."

## Lyrics

I will tell you the story

About the little boy I found in the grass

Tired soul as he told me

He could hear the children wanting to pass

Sounds of laughter in the air

Still today we hear them

Finally we are over it all

Finally we are over

Over it all

(Let them run)

Let them run from the violence

The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes

Little boy runs beside them

As they take his hand and jump to the sky

Still today you hear him

Finally I am over

Over it all

Finally I am over

Over it all

When will my healing come

When will my healing come along

Sinking like a stone

When will my healing come

Along

Finally I am over it all

Finally I am over it all

Finally I am

**Sondre Lerche** (born September 5, 1982) is a Norwegian artist, singer, songwriter and composer. His debut album *Faces Down*, which was written and recorded at the age of 16, was named one of the most remarkable introductions of 2002 by *Rolling Stone*, going on to win a Spellemannprisen (Best Newcomer). Over the past two decades, Lerche has released many studio albums, toured with the likes of Air, Stereolab, Elvis Costello and St. Vincent, appeared on *David Letterman*, and composed numerous film scores for soundtracks including the 2007 Steve Carell/Juliette Binoche hit movie *Dan in Real Life*.

Nature Boy

## *All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend* Chronology

"**Nature Boy**" (sometimes suffixed "Acoustic") is a song originally written by Eden Ahbez and performed by Nat King Cole in 1948. AURORA covered the song for an official video, which was published on May 19, 2015. The same audio recording was later released as the fifteenth track on deluxe versions of the album *All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend*.

## Lyrics

There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They said he wandered very far, very far

Over land and sea

A little shy and sad of eye

But very wise was he

And then one day

A lucky day he passed my way

Then we spoke of many things:

Fools and kings

Then he said to me

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn

Is to love and be loved in return"

Lyrics transcribed by listening.

## Video

A video was recorded on April 14, 2015 and officially published on May 19, 2015. It was directed by Kenny McCracken.

## Trivia

* A different version of the song was featured on the teaser trailer (released December 25, 2016) for the science fiction horror film, *Alien: Covenant*.
	+ About its use for the trailer, Aurora said: "I think the song fit very well. I'm very fond of the *Alien* movies, so it's very cool. Lots of blood and gore and aliens."
* This song was covered by many artists. Among them also David Bowie, one of Aurora's favourite artists.

Decca Records

**Decca Records** is a British record label established in 1929 by Edward Lewis. Its U.S. branch was established in late 1934 by Lewis, along with American Decca's first president Jack Kapp and later American Decca president Milton Rackmil. In 1937, anticipating Nazi aggression leading to World War II, Lewis sold American Decca and the link between the UK and U.S. Decca labels was broken for several decades. The British label was renowned for its development of recording methods, while the American company developed the concept of cast albums in the musical genre. Both wings are now part of the Universal Music Group, which is owned by Vivendi, a media conglomerate headquartered in Paris, France. The US Decca label was the foundation that evolved into record company Universal Music Group.

## Signing AURORA

AURORA was signed by Decca circa September 2014 for all territories except Norway, USA, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Mexico.

> "The choice fell on Decca Records and Glassnote Records because of the people who work there. They were so persistent and enthusiastic about Aurora's music that it just had to be them, says Luedy."
>
>

> "It feels very good to be believed. I'm glad I got the chance and now I'm going to take it. As soon as I met Glassnote, Decca and Petroleum, I felt that these were the people I wanted to work with. Everyone shared the same love for music, and that's what matters most. I look forward to starting working with the team I have with me and making a fantastic record, says Aksnes in a statement to Dagbladet."
>
>

> Decca Records' Tom Lewis tells P3-Ruben that the record company considered Aksnes a special talent. - She is one of the most exciting voices of her generation. Her songs are fantastic, with beautiful and poetic lyrics that will communicate with her generation. She is also a very nice person. When you meet her, you will be charmed. At least it was me."
>
>

Shortly after signing with Decca Records, an article noted that the contract involved four albums. However this seems to be contradicted in a later interview with manager Geir Luedy. Exact details of AURORA's current contracts are unclear.

Blood in the Wine

## *The Gods We Can Touch* alternative chronology

"**Blood in the Wine**" (originally titled "**The Blood in the Wine**") is a song by AURORA from her album *The Gods We Can Touch*.

## Background

Aurora explained the track to *Apple Music*:

> "The symbolism in it is very inspired by religious terms. I get a lot of inspiration from faith because it's so complex. This song is about the whole complexity in this relationship. I think it's important for me that people find their own meaning in this song, but I would love people to feel strengthened by it."
>

## Lyrics

I was given a heart

Before I was given a mind

A thirst for pleasure and war

A hunger we keep inside

We fell from sky with grace

And life gave us a sweeter taste

You can drink, you can feast

There's beauty in your beast

The flesh in the fruit

And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive lover

Come and feel the love, like a sinner

Shout it louder

Shout it for the ones who could never say

"I won't feel ashamed, mother"

"Can you break the chains off her"

Shout it louder

Not a sinner, she's a lover

I was given a name

Before I was given blood

Like you were given your faith

Before there was made a god

Young rivers in your hands

And grass burning in promised lands

You can drink, you can feast

There's beauty in your beast

The flesh in the fruit

And the blood in the wine

Come and feel alive lover

Come and feel the love, like a sinner

Shout it louder

Shout it for the ones who could never say

"I won't feel ashamed, mother"

"Can you break the chains off her"

Shout it louder

Not a sinner, she's a lover

Come and feel alive

Come and feel a love

Shout it louder

Shout it for the ones who could never say

"I won't feel ashamed, mother"

"Can you break the chains off her"

Shout it louder

Not a sinner, she's a lover

Come and feel alive lover

Come and feel the love, like a sinner

Shout it louder

Shout it for the ones who could never say

"I won't feel ashamed, mother"

"Can you break the chains off her"

Shout it louder

Not a sinner, she's a lover

For the Humans Who Take Long Walks in the Forest

## Extended Play Chronology

***For the Humans Who Take Long Walks in the Forest*** (stylized in all caps) is the second studio EP by AURORA and the her first compilation. It was released on February 4, 2021.

## Background

The EP was released to celebrate the six-year anniversary of Aurora's single "Runaway", as well as celebrating the song reaching 100 million streams on Spotify. It is the first of a series of EPs compiled from her song catalogue, to celebrate the song's anniversary. On the EP's release day, Aurora posted on her social media:

> "My friends, I wanted to share something for those who walk in the forest... you probably already know these songs. But I wanted to make sure you would listen to them in the right places. Because, I feel most connected to them under the trees, away from the noise of the world. I hope these songs can allow you to escape into your mind... it's important to do that sometimes."
>
>

On its release day she also announced a livestream on YouTube where she discussed the EP and her upcoming studio album *The Gods We Can Touch*, finishing it with an intimate performance of "Runaway".

## Trivia

* The EP was the first of several weekly playlists on Spotify.
* Aurora has mentioned wanting listeners to go outside and listen to the EP in order to truly be in the music, and pretend they are in the trees if they do not have any nature near them. She hopes listeners are reminded of "how beautiful the world is."
* The photo used on the cover was previously posted on Twitter by Aurora, and was taken in Ireland while she was there for her shows at Malahide Castle Grounds.

## For the Humans Who Take Long Walks in the Forest (EP) Chronology

"**Home**" is the tenth track on the album *All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend*. It was written by Aurora and Tom Hull and produced by Odd Martin Skålnes and Magnus Skylstad.

## About the song

The song deals with depression and how it can sometimes overcome us; how sometimes we need to numb ourselves in order to feel home. Aurora has said that it is about people who have ended up on the wrong track in life, and who survive by finding a form of security. It is about "finding a home among what you have, even if it's not much".

She also explained to *The 405*:

> "*We are not alive... we're just surviving every time.* It's not a good way of living, making yourself numb, trying to let every day pass by as quickly as possible. But at least it makes us happy for a while. We are home."
>
>

The song rarely (if ever) appeared in live shows until 2019. Interviewed in 2016, Aurora was asked why some songs are rarely played live, she responded:

> "I need to distance myself from a few songs before I can play them in public. I don't play *Home* from my last album yet, because it makes me too sad. But I feel like I'll get there soon."
>
>

Nordic folk music was an inspiration for the song.

## Lyrics

Lost in the moments again

Stuck where the road has no end

Keeping the thought in our minds

One day life will be kind

We are not alive

We are surviving every time

We are not alive

Only dreams inside our minds

We are home

We are home

Home

We are home

We are home

Home

Endless days of complaints

Forcing the light to our veins

Keeping the hope in our minds

One day life will be kind

We are not alive

We are surviving every time

We are home

We are home

Home

We are home

We are home

Home

Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones

Doesn't really matter where you come from

We are home

We are home

Home

Calm again, calm again

I feel warm again, I'm reborn again

I am warm inside for a little while

I am fine

We are not alive

We are surviving every time

Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones

Doesn't really matter where you come from

We are home

We are home

Home

Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones

Doesn't really matter where you come from

We are home

We are home

Home

## Trivia

* The song was sampled on "Lost in the Moment", a song by Sentre.
