Aurora (Lights.Action! song)

"Aurora" is the third single released by British
quintet
Lights.Action!
. It was released 7 April, before their debut mini-album, All Eyes To The Morning Sun
through iTunes and other major DSPs.
The song is based on a poem Patrick Currier wrote. It’s a letter to his imaginary future child, a daughter, called Aurora, who is confronted with the end of the world. He imagines speaking to her and soothing her, despite the fact that the skies are filled with exploding bombs and the world is being torn apart. He tries to put it across that the explosions are just a lightshow for her, like the Northern Lights, her namesake
