With “Aurora”, Hägerstrand delivers a baroque pop reverie that blurs the line between drama and tragedy, like a pop novella drawn from real life. The song follows a protagonist who abandons his old world to chase an untamed calling, only to watch the promise of his new beginning wither before it even takes shape. Echoing the grand, literate stylings of The Divine Comedy, Hägerstrand wraps his tale in lush orchestration and poetic melancholy.
