The 3rd and last single released prior to her "A different kind of human"-album.
"The recording of Infections of a different kind was very elaborate - the location [a French chateau] was huge and beautiful and dreamy... For this record I wanted to make it a very tiny room with a purple floor and dark blue walls, and it was just me and my drummer." (^52.1).
The story behind this song is quite sad:
"It was inspired by something quite sad as I looked at the suicide rates on this planet and apparently 73% of them were men..." (^52.1)
Travelling the globe, meeting people on her tours, she learned a lot about human nature, and she found this rate to be strange, and she came to a conclusion:
"... obviously, it must be because of the feeling that you can’t talk about your emotions and show that you’re in pain because pain is often associated with weakness..." (^52.1)
Aurora don't agree, of course:
"... but you know, here in my world it’s not, so the song is inspired by something quite sad but it is also happy because crying can be such a positive experience, especially afterwards when you actually feel a bit lighter. It’s about that feeling to let off some steam as they say in England." (^52.1)
"Music really saves lives, and I feel so honored to know that people use my music as a companion when they need it. I feel that the purpose of the song is to help people with feelings that we have a hard time explaining. Being human is difficult." (52.2)
