Nick and Lex here. Hey, everyone. How's it going? So tonight? Oh super excited another Aurora request and we're always happy to listen to Aurora and Thank you so much Dave for this Request to buy me a coffee and all that good stuff, but I just love to support I love her. I love her so much. She's such a wonderful soul and Just the title and the information that Dave shared with us about the song just really Augment that idea, you know He said this this song is titled starvation and he believes and I I checked and I think he's right This is the first song that we've done from her most recent album. What happened to the heart? It was released two years ago This is gonna be live at ke XP Seattle But she said that our souls are starving because AI is taking over art is being replaced by computers Just so sad honestly, but she said that this song was inspired by Germany's techno scene Dave mentioned that in the 90s Berlin was known for its underground rave culture And she stated that I'm a very big fan of the prodigy underworld and the chemical brothers I think that kind of music is I can hear her tiny voice The song addresses a disconnect That modern life imposes on humans so very very excited. I also love that DJ Because we have a few David's yeah DJ I love that. He said I gotta do Yeah Because I mean obviously it's your support that matters the most or Aurora So I hope she knows that she watches these videos because I believe these You know, I can't say that she's a smaller artist, but just compare it to these legacy Oh, yeah, she's obviously smaller, but I they do what they do watch the video sometimes Davis is a source. Yeah behind me. Yes. Thank you for mentioning that All right. Well, I have it pulled up here. So let's go. Let's get started Kxp you see some good stuff on great great stuff Thanks to Dave as well because you know Larkin Poe from there, too, so Yeah, let's go I'm intrigued because I'm also a big big fan of like techno Yes becoming more and more. Yes From Just to see I sleep on the floor dreaming my life away We come stronger Everything Discover new music get listener powered k exp dot o RG. Love. How was you just like yeah Wow That was so good. And it sounded like she was gonna say something but you know, it's recording. Yeah Wow just like that high-pitched like why do we have is it why do we have to die? Just to see the light it's amazing like the pitch and that I love the backing vocals that they're so Good yeah, so they can't harmonize with her two people and I just Is she really surprises me every time like like with the genre just the change of genre from the almost very Organic, you know like wild not wild a nature like yeah Place to this more electronic This was so good and really reminded me of like You know, yeah the typical build up Like this techno She would totally like if she would go deeper into that genre. She would totally kill it. Absolutely. Yeah I'm just like and this was like the happiest drummer of a witness From the moment she started singing he was like lit, you know But it must be so cool for a drummer to to be drumming along with The techno beat, you know, yeah because he was like You know like that. I like I love how they started with it. Yeah Yeah, just everything about this song and she I love her expression Angry and she's she gets so intense and like Yeah, it's really like Such a pleasure Yeah, like her obviously like I would enjoy her like obviously the audio But it's so every time you watch an aurora video. It just like she knocks it out Should I mean she should be up there with like The most successful artist Yeah, I don't know what it takes, you know because she's so good Maybe because she's not American I don't know if it has to do with that. But I mean her music is so good and her pronunciation her English and So, I don't know what it takes to be up there. Yeah, I know. I know She's just so creative and her lyrics are so inspiring because she gets these ideas and then she's like I need to talk about this. I need to write a song about this. I need to share this message Maybe it's like the the niche of the Larry Maybe it's not Maybe it's more about Maybe she's just too artistic like Yeah, you think it's that I think that what is it I mean why is she not but she is like quite big I know what you're saying. Yeah, but I know there's big and then there's like I know But let's see like I don't know if we've ever checked this or maybe it's been a while since we have her monthly listeners 16 million. Yeah, I mean that's big Her song, I mean it is big has 1 billion Yeah Which is I guess you know, but I know she's bigger than I thought but I think she just deserves to be a beggar It's like that artist that my little sister told me about it 29 million No, what the hell no, have we ever heard of her? Yeah I Said 16 million is pretty 16 million is very good. Like look at Radiohead. I mean Radiohead is a Yeah, 44 million, yeah, I mean she should be like but it's also the legacy that they have left She's still up-and-coming almost like yeah Because she's barely what 30 So it's just like, you know, I'm sure I'm sure everybody knows what I'm talking. Yes I just wish that her message would get across. I love that. I didn't know that she was this big Yeah, well, this was another but Techno in there. Yeah and listening to the guitar and mixing You know real Physical instruments with the sounds of techno is something that I love so this really really hit the nail again, Dave because You know, it's something that we've talked about and and it's something that we really enjoy So, you know what? I love also really quickly before we go that there the line that that she's saying very Was reduced later Exactly so that's kind of cool that she also is like using Looping yeah, just other techniques where she kind of like Messed with her voice and made it into something Electronic yeah, absolutely. I've never heard that before and the voices of the other two women as well They were also like it was just so different. I love her running around the studio Like these videos are so much They are more Aurora, like you said I have to do my monthly Aurora Addiction. Yeah, I wonder if we're like the ones who do the most Aurora video if it is Because they do get a lot of you so thank you all your fans You guys are amazing. We have to give this woman and her band and her bad Yeah, because she works with so many people she does You know the views they deserve and I just wish I really wish she would come to Barcelona But she was just here. She was so we went to a beautiful place But we saw Pat Metheny, that would be an amazing place for her But hey, but I would love to be in front row. Yeah, I would spend good money. Yes Thank You Dave so so much you're awesome. Thank you everyone for sharing this with us Let us know comments thoughts anything at all about the subject matter of the song about her Anything your stance on AI? Yeah, I mean we just talked about it the other day What I like to step that and you know, sometimes it's like It's like a mixed bag Let's let us know what I'm usually very anti those Alexia, but sometimes it's like You know if it's like something that you can't like avoid it's not gonna go any I don't think it's going anywhere it's just run with it, you know, like and do the best you can and But The fact that it's Replacing, you know, like art and stuff. I don't support that at all if it's gonna help you. I don't know correct your emails or whatever But I mean music doing music with AI Totally not we do music and we do it the old-fashioned way or movies and stuff like that Anything that's art or painting or writing a book I think should be kept to Humans. Yeah, don't let it don't use AI, you know, if you're an artist, I mean Use it, but only a certain way. It's just like there's this weird because once you can do this How to do your art, but I mean just know that don't replace your talent. Yeah All righty, well wonderful once again and please subscribe we'd love to see you all in the next thank you. Bye everyone
