Country Punk? - The Warning - "Eternal Love" | First (reaction)

[@thontor]

This was the song Dany wrote when their teacher, Pablo González, challenged them to create their own music for the first time. Each of them contributed a song (Pau wrote two): Dany wrote "Eternal Love," Ale wrote "Take Me Down," and Pau wrote "Escape The Mind" and "Fade Away." These four songs, along with the first track they all wrote together, "Free Falling," became their debut EP, Escape The Mind, released in 2015.

[@LostHate]

They were still finding their sound. Funny thing is if some big name artists in County or Pop were to release any of TW early songs they would be hits.

[@FullTexanEffect]

It always amazes me about the amount of talent they had when they were children. 🤘🐴🤘

[@oregonlt3]

These songs on their debut EP were literally a homework assignment from Ales bass teacher who encouraged them each to write their own song. (Pau wrote 2… cuz she Pau) & ‘Free Falling’ is the first song they ever wrote all together. No intent to ever record them. But of course because they are DPA they were awesome. The title track ‘Escape the Mind’ is amazing (it’s Pau… on piano… with strings {on the studio track}… so of course it is😊)

[@arctic_haze]

Recording the EP was actually their next homework. Pablo, the teacher wanted them to learn how its done. Releasing it was an afterthought.

[@oregonlt3]

@ yea, that totally makes sense. Recording is a whole different animal than performing.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

@@arctic_haze I think the reason they released the EP was that their early supporters found out that the recordings existed.

[@rodneyramirez603]

I won’t delve into what genre this is, because to tell you the truth most musicians hate the idea of labeling their music so I’ll leave that there…but from a purely musical standpoint and as a musician myself considering their age and how difficult this is to do, is there anything these girls can’t do?? Amazing talent is what I hear!! A challenge at that stage of their musical education, is really something that only the most talented and most gifted musicians would get from their private lessons teachers. These are girls are truly way out on another level than most.

[@don-music]

Lead bass in the first verse!

[@construccionyavancesadecvc5554]

The song "Escape The Mind", music and lyrics by Paulina at 12 years old is phenomenal

[@Dave_Marks]

I don’t get why people think this is country. I think of it as singer/songwriter. This song is a forgotten gem. Dany was once asked what song they would no longer sing; her first reaction was Eternal Love. She then said that was unacceptable and sang a snippet.

[@nichep1]

Chuckle. Dany has identified it as country.

[@Dave_Marks]

@ I still don’t agree.

[@scottbradley6953]

Well she did " We even wrote a country song". 💖🐺 ​@@Dave_Marks

[@Ryan_Crown]

All the songs on this EP are incredible - especially considering how young they were when they recorded it. The title track Escape the Mind is especially amazing - very much the softer side of Pau!

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

I recommend her live performance @ LICEO.

[@gmantw]

ETM EP is endearing, and amazes for what they was able to accomplish at such a young age. Pau calls it their chipmunk voice era. Just for fun at a concert or radio special, I would love to hear them "Warnify" all these Escape the mind songs, with their wall of sound from today. Dany's sizzling tone itself would be insane, but their mature vocals too? 🤯

[@kennethhanson560]

I haven’t heard this song since this afternoon, on Spotify, the warning complete collection, hit shuffle hit play, you will hear it all.

[@NoSmokingDogs]

If you noticed, Dany counted them in to start the song so they didn't have In-Earz/click track at that time. They sounded a bit off from the EP studio track. They did this at the Liceo concert which would have been a better video to watch. This was a VERY early concert for them.

[@spidernose]

The song you are thinking of is by Green Day called Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

[@Amaranthine1000]

I love this song, it is on my Writing playlist, a list of songs I like to listen to while I am writing, the CD version is a lot clearer. Escape the Mind was not an album they were going to actually release, it was just an experiment to see which direction they should go in. But I am so glad they did release it as all the songs are great. Yes their voices are very young but that just makes it so much more endearing, and there are the harmonies.

[@roywall8169]

My favorite Warning song!

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

The* 😉

[@don-music]

Pretty sure this was one of Dany’s first songs?

[@arctic_haze]

The very first song by Dany.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Her first.

[@AlfonsoAyala-l7m]

Oldie but goodie. Believe it or not, I love this track and their other EP songs. Keep Rockin' my friend 🤘⚡🤘

[@jrgenervik9977]

Escape the mind has difrent genres as they tried difrent sounds. And in the tidal documentary i think they mentioned they went the direction the songs needed instead of focusing on having it be rock

[@bearkiti9974]

She sang a snippet of this at the acoustic show in Montreal a couple of years ago. Mature Dany could definitely do this as a country song now. 😉

[@mrh3578]

The vocals sound really country. They could have easily moved or crossed over into this genre.

[@g.garcia7151]

As a fan of country punk and alt-country (but not so much country itself), I kind of bristled at the title of this reaction. But your comments make complete sense, and I agree. (I was never a fan of grunge or Green Day-era punk so I never really made the connection between Eternal Love and those genres.) I appreciate having my perspective changed.

[@chabirandjeanmarc7032]

Written by Dany as take me down by ale and fade away and escape the mind by Pau

[@glennpaulsson2366]

charming, wonder how they would have done it today?

[@arctic_haze]

They would warnify it. That is played it as a straight rock song.

[@glennpaulsson2366]

@ yes and it would have been the original🎼🎶🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸🥁🎹👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥇🥇🥇

[@NathanAllen]

Dany's pedal board is something to behold, something I have always appreciated is her ability to craft amazing guitar tones.

[@philwrichtube]

You can certainly see the talent in these three at that age. Not just the musicality, but also the attitude. Not nervous, just working hard. 🤟🏼🎸🥁🎸🤟🏼

[@blaineoshaughnessy685]

All I can say is, “Yee Haw!” ❤

[@EdwardRLyons]

This is very much from their apprenticeship days! A children's song performed by children. Pretty good for what it is, but they've left the songs from the Escape the Mind EP well behind them. Don't expect DPA ever to revive any of them. And, Country Punk? Interesting you should say that. Makes me think of Lone Justice back in the 1980s, Maria McKee's original band. They were described as Cow Punk. Definitely worth checking them out.

[@lroa6913]

This presentation by the band was the first warning they sent to the world. Can you imagine that a band of little girls could sing songs like this? When they should have been playing with their Barbies, they were composing music for grown people. In his first stage of musical learning in the world of bands, searching for his identity as a group, searching for his musical genre. This album is the most charming on record, with songs that really sound very good. Standouts are Free Falling and of course Escape The Mind. Real hits from some pretty little girls. The story of The Warning never ceases to amaze me.

[@anthonyfisher1670]

Certainly the drum roll surprised me near the end when i first heard it , but a pretty unique sounding song all the same . To me this is a country style song , i wonder what it would be like if some one like Dolly Parton covered it .

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Paulina said she felt powerful doing that drum fill. I told her she *was* powerful.

[@ThisUsernameIsAlreadyInUse]

Ah man it was so funny when they played this at the throwback quiz during the canada show (when Ale was sick) and Pau said "What happened to us?" 😄 I would say to the EtM EP that you already can see the amazing potential they have and would leave it at that. 😙 🤟

[@jimlaheta8864]

I like these very early videos since they are snapshots of where The Warning were at that point of time with their music and performances. One of the fun things about The Warning is that we can follow their development from pretty much the beginning.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

*"Eternal Love"* is one of five songs off The Warning's first EP called *Escape the Mind* from 2015. Other songs on the EP are ....... Fade Away Free Falling Escape the Mind Take Me Down To me, *"Eternal Love"* has that Americana vibe. A mixture elements of Country, Rockabilly (your punk) and Alternative rock sound. *"Eternal Love"* is similar to The Warning's song *"23"* off of their *Error* album. Not quite a ballad but definitely not a tune The Warning is known to play.

[@titifatal]

Thank you. In one of their first English interviews, Pau says they tried different things besides rock and one of the first songs is a country songs. In my mind, this is one is a good candidate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYDHkqOAjKd2maMsi=sW-8ZfuuuxNlbJO_

[@elgonwilliams7624]

It ain't a Country song if there isn't a John Deere tractor, a Ford F150 with a lift kit and big mud tires, or someone's dog died. LOL All we have is a cheating lover. That's just not enough to qualify for the genre. Considering all of Dany's musical influences, which extends in entirely different directions than Pau or A, it's natural that one of the first songs she wrote was an amalgam of several genres.

[@arctic_haze]

Yes. There is a saying that if you play a country song backwards, you get back your job, money and girlfriend.

[@thomasmalatesta7331]

I actually love the song. The only problem with this live version is that Dany's Les Paul was out of tune. It would be great if they re-recorded it with a "modern Warning" sound.

[@blaineoshaughnessy685]

Rockified ✌🏻😎

[@TUBBYMAXX]

@@blaineoshaughnessy685 Warning-if-ied !!!🤟

[@andgar923]

In regards to the song itself, I can see how the clash of styles sounds odd. I also agree that the individual pieces are good and that it may take some time to get used to the song itself. But I feel that the reason it sounds odd is due to their age at this moment. They sound a bit off as they haven't matured enough musically to stay on beat and sound tight. Dany's voice is clearly infant at this point, as she's breathing through her nose and is off pitch a bit. Having said that, as many have mentioned: this song would be a hit TODAY for some artists, specially artists trying to do a cross-over. Imagine more mature performers covering this song today? I can honestly see this being a hit now with some production tweaks, which is amazing considering their age. Ale's baseline grooves and riffs are killers specially for her age. But even then, regardless of their age, it can work and be a hit today.

[@solarvanlife8177]

What I see in this video is three young girls, who haven't yet got their footing playing live and trying to reproduce their studio work of an extremely well written song. For anyone that hasn't heard the studio version of this song, I highly recommend it. It's actually a country gem that would be a hit today or anytime in the last 30 years with the proper promotion. The acoustic guitar is pristine, with rich layered vocal harmonies preformed by a band that is as tight as any group of session players today. The EP "Escape the Mind" is just as enjoyable to me as any of their albums and shows their individual and collective song writing abilities already at such a young age. Glad you brought it up Zack. Now for Ale's gem. "Take me Down". (the first song i ever heard from them) Listen to her creative, precision bass work with hardly a year of playing under her belt and rich full harmonies. Kudos to Pablo and Jake for helping to shape their sound. The unsung heroes for helping them launch their career.

[@WaldoKitty]

i have all 60 of DPA/TW's songs on loop on my Spotify... that's this EP, all four albums, and both singles... i'd like to put some of their covers on there, too, but what i have is only from their channel on Spotify... i give it like 4 hours per loop allowing for commercials Spotify tosses in... i'm not here all the time while it is playing but there's like 6 full loops per day and i generally hear 3-5 of them... speaking of which, *Fade Away* is playing as i write this and there's *Eternal Love* right behind it 😉😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Dany's song!❤ This is one of my favorite The Warning songs. I would eternally love if they surprised us with it in concert sometime. btw, That's a shaker, not maracas.

[@christinaalgate4899]

Hi Zack I Like this song and the EP

[@MrSudeepdas]

Pablo Gonzalez Sarre was asked by his childhood friend, Luis Villarreal to take a look at his daughters besides teaching Ale bass. The Latin Grammy nominated bassist & founder of Mexican band Los Claxons agreed on one condition - The Warning won't do anymore covers but write their original songs instead. In a recent interview he reflected on his time with the sisters.

[@rgmatthewsjr]

The EP release is a better version of course. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXLUkqxpZrl-mcU

[@raulcasta7841]

Hi Zack, l like the way your comments make me love even more this band. You know there are an interview from gama studio( they presented to the media QOMS and the other one is atipical fest in monclova city in ( Mexico) are so so good. Once again Thanks for your great reactions.

[@professorg9424]

Ale! 😎

[@MaddogJones]

This may have been the first and only song by The Warning I had ever skipped while driving in my car.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Why??

[@thomasalbrecht5914]

It’s cute. What did we do when we were this age, to criticise it? An original song, but obviously full of miscellaneous influences, because they weren’t completely discerning in what they listened to. And their proficiency on the instruments is absolutely commendable.

[@RobTJ2000]

is there anything these girls can't do

If Counting Crows went folk/country. ❤️⚡🤘

I will call it more like Pop but I get the country thoughts.

The warning do country

[@leesmallwood4585]

I could hear Waterfall by the stone roses. Good tune but I think they have now found their groove with the rock stuff.

[@markdicesare7936]

Take Me Down is my favorite from Escape the Mind

[@Gforceracing20]

Was the lyrics in your head for the intro Green Day - Good Riddance?

[@construccionyavancesadecvc5554]

Perfect song for Taylor Swift to make a hit, in a very short time

[@josephoconnell9052]

I see what you mean about grunge/punk vibe. A little Green Day “Good Riddance “?

[@lozfalcon]

I would like to hear it with just an acoustic guitar.

[@701easternNorthCarolina]

I can kind of understand where you're going with your reaction but I also understand that this is the very earliest songs of their career they were just starting out this might have been the third or fourth song that they wrote....

[@zealgope]

[@v6jim2]

Pretty horrible really, but still great to hear! Considering their ages and level of experience its pretty impressive.

[@williamburkholder769]

Dany’s right not to sing it again. It’s out of character. Yes, punk country is a thing, but this isn’t it!
