AURORA celebrates 10 years of debut ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’ with release of title track and ‘Moth Tapes’

AURORA is celebrating 10 years of her debut album ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend’ by releasing the previously unreleased title track and some alternate version of songs she has dubbed the ‘Moth Tapes’.

Built around intimate early recordings, demos and previously unheard material from the original era, ‘The Moth Tapes’ offers a new perspective on the album, and also comes with previously unreleased title track.

“ I am growing tired and I am growing old/ the road I walk I walk alone/and I wonder and I think I might take a look, take a look on the other side ,” she sings in her signature, ethereal style on the song, as a thumping drum beat grows behind her.

“ Just one look/ oh my demons greeting me as a friend/ I’m home waiting for time to let go/ peace in my body and soul ,” she sings in the euphoric chorus.

Check it out below, along with the full ‘Moth Tape’ tracklist.

The 10th anniversary reissue of the debut album features demos of ‘The Silent Twins’, ‘Running With The Wolves’ and ‘Let Me Heal You’.

It also comes with a 2013 demo of the now hit song ‘Runaway’, following the song having a viral breakthrough in 2021 and now experiencing a new wave of interest in 2026 – with over three billion combined streams to date and charting on Shazam across Nigeria, Vietnam, the Philippines, Norway, Indonesia and Thailand.

“It’s been over 10 years since I wrote these songs, many stories have been long lost and now some of them will find their way into your hearts,” AURORA said of ‘The Moth Tapes’.

“It feels vulnerable to release something unrefined, but I know sometimes that is what people need the most.

I hope these songs create and bring back some good memories for you all.” The ‘All My Demons Greeting Me As A Friend (The Moth Tapes)’ tracklist is: ‘Runaway’ ‘Conqueror’ ‘Running with the Wolves’ ‘Lucky’ ‘Winter Bird’ ‘I Went Too Far’ ‘Through the Eyes of a Child’ ‘Warrior’ ‘Murder Song (5, 4, 3, 2, 1)’ ‘Home’ ‘Under the Water’ ‘Black Water Lilies’ ‘Black Water Lilies (Vocal Files)’ ‘All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend’ ‘Let Me Heal You (demo)’ ‘Runaway (14th August 2013 demo)’ ‘Running With The Wolves (Hunting demo)’ ‘The Silent Twins (demo)’ The release follows AURORA releasing her third book at the start of the year, which also celebrated the 10th anniversary of the debut album with pages from her early notebooks and sketches, specially written commentary, and more for fans to see for the first time.
