Welcome 😊

My name is Rune, a family guy from Norway, and a devoted fan of AURORA.

This newsletter is made in honour of Aurora Aksnes, the singer, songwriter and music producer from Norway. A true artist, simply known as AURORA.

Here you’ll find my collection of stories, insights, and memories that bring you closer to AURORA’s world. Over time, the newsletter has grown into several sections:

This collection is aiming to describe each song, EP and album in AURORA's discography. The song stories is a deep dive into what inspiried the song, and what she have shared about it. I have written them chronologically from the first released song, and the library now contains more than 70 such stories. I am currently working my way through her The Gods We Can Touch album.
