About "Dance On The Moon"
Aurora was asked about the track "Dance On The Moon", and I don't think she have spoken much about this song elsewhere.
POPHRT did a 20 minutes interview with Aurora and posted it as an Podcast on Spotify the 4th of june, 2019. Click here to listen.
She was asked about the track "Dance On The Moon", and I don't think she have spoken much about this song elsewhere. You can read her answer to this question below. I do urge you to listen to the whole thing, though. Her thoughts on life and humanity is truly beautiful.
"Dance on the moon" - Can you tell me a little bit of the story behind that track?
Every song is kind of about even bigger things than the inspiration to the song was about, so you know that the actual meaning of the song is quite big. I think it can mean very different things from every human that's listening to it, and that's very exciting.
The reason I wrote the song was because of something my grandmother said, a long time ago. She said: "It's strange, cause you know that you're getting older but still, when I look at myself in the mirror, I sometimes don't recognise myself".
It was so strange to hear that we would change on the outside much quicker than what we do the inside. It's strange how time kind of happens, something that happens to us. It's kind of like an attack but also its like a gift, because the more time we get to experience, the more we consider that we are lucky to be here through all of that crap.

It's really interesting to me how time is something we can't escape, you know. It's there. I wanted to write this song from a different kind of perspective, where time is kind of... like you feel time, if not in a bad way.
In the chorus I say: "I feel time looking out my window, watching me dance on the moon". It's kind of like I'm escaping time for a moment. Time is still in my room, in my house, in the world, on the earth. You know, time is everywhere, and I'm up on the moon where time don't exist - and I'm dancing - and time is kind of looking up on me.
It's just this little ting that we still have, you know, these times to escape the world in these tiny moments we kind of steal to ourselves, where nothing else matters. It's just one of those moments.
