4th of May 2015
A little "Thank you" to Roman (@a.different.kind.of.aurora) for enlightening me about the release of Running with the wolves (RWTS) EP. The date of this release was chosen because of the referanse to "Star Wars" - May the 4th and May the Force... is a well known play with phrases (^10.1).
"In boxes" wasn't previously released as a single when it was dropped as the 3rd song on her "Running with the wolves" EP. Still - as we shall see in later song stories - this song have strong connections with other songs that plays on the murder-/domestic violence theme.
Tracking down the background story for this song has been quite difficult. There does seem to be an agreement among those interpreting the song that the whole piece is a long metaphor for past relationships, covered within this story of a crazy murderer (^10.2). If you know any interviews or facts about this song, please let me know.
"It's not about me, but a crazy lady doing crazy stuff... but I like to write stories... that comes from emotions within me..." (^10.3)
An interesting sidetrack - the day after this EP was released, Aurora and her family founded the company Aurora Music AS. Aurora herself owns the greatest stock (60%), while her parents share the rest (^10.4). Then we realize that her whole family, parents and siblings (Miranda, the makeup-artist and Viktoria, tailoring and fashion clothing), are involved in this.
