First time reaction to: The Warning - Automatic Sun Tecate Pa’l Norte Festival I Artist Reacts I

[@Dave_Marks]

Dany says: "It's about missing someone and the energy this person gives you. You're drawn into their gravitational pull and brightness - like an automatic sun." The video was put together in one week. They shot it at Tecate Pa’l Norte in Monterrey on March 31st. The video team is led by Beto Ramos, Pau’s drum teacher, and Iván Chávez, recent graduate of the University of Monterrey film school. The team they lead is top notch. Their first major TW video was the Metropolitan concert. Dan Lancaster is listed in the credits as a co-producer of the song, a lyrics contributor and providing keyboards. Dan was a touring keyboardist for Muse.

[@mt4design2]

Dave, do you remember DPA saying they talked songwriting/collaboration with Matt Bellamy during the tour? I can’t help thinking Dany is referencing him in her description. Just thinking out loud.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

I was at their live show last friday in Lisboa, Portugal (i am portuguese). They played this song. Live this song is more metal. Alejandra filled in for the multitracks voice tracks that accomply Daniela and Paulina's vocals found in the studio version. To nobody's surprise, this song brought the house down.

[@KoalityReactions]

Hahaha yes! 💯

[@DarrellW_UK]

OK, first the technical side; in this song Dany is using a new Guitar, it’s a baritone Fender Jim Root version - it’s a 30” scale length (instead of the standard version 25.5”), which means that it can be tuned lower, in this case A instead of E. She’s also using a Zyvex fuzz factory for the badass distortion (which is the same as Matt Bellamy uses in his Manson guitar - remember the weird noises in Plug in baby at the start?), this sort of helps to understand the Muse vibe! Alé is also playing her bass tuned down as well which adds to the heaviness of the song; Pau is playing some new drum fills - triples which again add to it all. The Photographic work was done using high quality cameras and Drones, which explains some of the views being rather different and making it more creative. I think you’re pretty close with your analysis of the lyrics but not completely sure that it’s the way it was intended - you know that they always leave things a bit open to interpretation, which makes it more interesting! Glad you liked this one, it is so far my current favourite, as regards the future who knows? 🤷‍♂️

The solar eclipse comes with The Warning. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AGAIN!!! 🌞🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⚡️🤟

[@bigfan007]

There are no professional live audio versions of the song, but lot's of fan-cam recordings (with marginal audio). This song was just added to their live setlist as they have started their Spring tour of Europe. I love the grungy-distorted guitar/bass paired with the Pop elements. Interestingly, one of the credited producers for this song (Dan Lancaster) mixed for Muse and has toured with them as a supporting musician. From a recent Her Campus interview about the song. "The inspiration for “Automatic Sun” came to us very spontaneously. We’ll admit that our creative juices were very slow the day we wrote this song, it wasn’t until we were brainstorming with random words and phrases that we stumbled upon Automatic Sun, and it sounded hella cool. We didn’t know what it meant, but we knew we had to do something with it. From there, we thought about how there are people who just light up rooms like that, they’re little “automatic suns,” and we wrote an entire song on how the chemistry with a person you perceive as an automatic sun is intoxicating and beautiful."

[@RandyTWA]

The live concert was Easter night. The video was produced and released 100 hours later, Friday at 12:00 am. Amazing!

[@bigfan007]

Randy - I would have bet against them turning around a finished video in a matter of days, but TW proved my wrong (again)! Using the studio audio probably helped as it avoided having to do the audio workflow.

This uis definitely inspired by Muse. In fact, Dan Lancaster who tours with Muse as a 4th musician was co-producer of this track. They wrote Hell You Call a Dream with him when The Warning was touring with Muse in the UK.

About their live performance in Lisboa, Portugal, when it come to announce their names, Alejandra got the longest ovacion from the audience. Also, Daniela and Paulina are prettier in real life than in the videos. Alejandra looks absolutly the same both live and in the videos, she is a veritable goddess, she is both photogenic and a natural beauty, quite a rarety.

This is performance footage from the live debut of the song, over the studio audio, like they did with Money.

[@publius2000]

One of the many things I like about The Warning is how you can hear the influences in their music, but it's still very much their own sound (if that makes sense).

[@2twenty]

Great reaction, as always!

[@bobkellerjr1956]

I believe Its us... Their fans who are the Automatic Sun. The Sun gives off Light, Warmth, and Life to everything. In return, The Warning returns that Light, Warmth, and Life. We are a marriage of the needing, and anticipation we get from each other. A very strong co-dependence on each other. When we are apart, the world's darkness, sadness, and strife dominates our lives. But for a short moment(a couple of hours), we are one heart, one soul, and one united in love, passion, and affection. In other words... Light, Warmth, and Life... It's Automatic when we are joined together... Automatic Sun!! VIVA THE WARNING!!

[@ronhall5395]

My thoughts exactly when I first heard it. Funny how they wrote this based off the words Automatic Sun. They liked how it sounded and wrote lyrics around those two words. Amazing.

[@tonycook1624]

They use studio recordings for the sound when filming outdoor festival performances (like they did with Money). This is because they are not able to capture and mix the sound to the standards they need for an official video release. They are not the first to do this by a long long long way.

[@robhaunui3343]

Where are you getting this info from ? This is only the second video where they've used a studio track on a live performance - have you not seen "Hell You Call A Dream",that is live ! Many artists have done this (I'm not particularly a fan of doing this),but it is what it is. As for them not being able to replicate their music live ? They do use some backing tracks in their live performances (I'm sure you know that),and their live performances are way better than any of their studio tracks.

[@tonycook1624]

@@robhaunui3343 Precisely - I quoted the only two they have done the live video and studio sound combination. Not good environments to get clean sound for an official video release. Where did I get the info - its stated by the Warning for just those two videos. Yes I've seen HYCAD live. That was an indoor performance and their own gig using their sound system/board with full access to and control of the recording. Money and Automatic Sun are outdoor performances as either a support act or as one of many bands at a festival sharing the festival sound board. Also if you listen to the live sound from the fan cams of the AS performance you will get to hear the extremely loud pryo/air jets being used on stage and the sound of another band bleeding in from the other festival stage. I think it now becomes obvious why live sound wasnt used for AS.

[@terrybeaud9348]

I LOVE this song. Could they be singing about addiction to our electronic devices or even addiction to social media ? Funny thing, i think they are so much better than Muse or even Halestorm. Like the apprentice is better than the mentor... :)

[@momoneymjp]

First off, love your reactions to The Warning. Dany is using a Fender baritone guitar and Ale (Thunder Goddess) had to tune her low (top string) B string down to A to match the sound of Dany's guitar. So the normal 5 string bass tuning is B, E, A, D, G and in this song it's tuned to A, E, A, D, G. They just know how to write great songs. Peace and Love.

[@williamburkholder769]

An automatic sun is a person who lights up your life. When apart, the thought of that person inspires… At least, that’s the sense I think they were going for. This song hits disorientingly hard the first time. It grows on you rapidly. The complexity is really cool. Hard rock, metal, pop, swing, grunge… and yeah, Muse influence, are all in there somewhere. It’s very creative and quite the ear worm! I enjoyed the reaction.

[@TeemarkConvair]

gather your thoughts,, they do do that to us the "thing" about Pau, she plays TO the song, no thrashing, tasteful rolls and fills,,at perfect moments..

[@solarvanlife8177]

Great comment. She's got the energy to Keith Moon it all night but she only adds what's needed. Viva La Warning....

[@adamkaige]

Definitely check out the official live performance of Hell You Call A Dream on The Warning's YT channel. Awesome everything!

[@juancarlosgarzonuribe86]

The song was released that day at that concert. The video was recorded at the Tecate pal norte concert in Monterrey, Mexico where the girls are from. If they have Muse influence, they really like that band, for this album the production was in charge of Dan Lancaster who worked with Muse, Blink-182, Bring Me the Horizon, A Day to Remember, among others

[@HarrymegamanDJ]

More is going to be on this album too and HYCAD and Automatic sun are about the same thing as More. So they definitely have a theme for this album. Due to the Warnings passion for mixing influences in new ways I want to call their new sound Passion Rock. I have never heard this mix of sound before. They keep exploring and testing and grow as musicians. They do what ever they feel like and I think that´s cool. I have only respect for these women! And I like your reaction.

[@PeterMcCracken-n3g]

A point is being made here. I cannot overstate how great these siblings are. The Warning.

[@RipThru]

Nice reaction to this new release! For pretty much every new song, the artist will release a studio version before any official live performance release. I’m with you, I think it’s great releasing this audio over the live footage which itself is absolutely amazing. And yes, Muse is a major influence on TW and one of their biggest inspirations growing up. Definitely, you’re not wrong about the Muse vibes in this song. I have a small suggestion going forward: at the start of each reaction video, read off the official title to eliminate any confusion. I see other reactors do this and it’s quite helpful (to both the reactors and the audience). Most of us have seen this already so we knew. But just a helpful suggestion. 🤘thx!

[@johndoe-wb6cw]

I’m Great reaction!! Thanks for that insight on the lyrics I have been enjoying the sound so much I hadn’t considered the lyrical message, now I like it even better 😁 btw I agree about the muse flavor in the song, in fact I recently saw a clip of Dany telling how much she liked Matt Bellamy’s lead guitar playing sooo. Thanks for the reaction🤘

[@vernhoke7730]

I've watched a few fan shot videos of this song. It's hard to gauge how close the live is to the studio due to crowd noise, distance from the stage, and general phone quality. One or two had kind of decent sound here and there. Their last release "Hell You Call A Dream" was remixed with the live audio and sounded great.

[@Ruisu-San]

The song "Automatic Sun" seems to depict a complicated relationship where the singer feels both trapped and addicted to someone's presence. The "automatic sun" could symbolize the intense and overwhelming effect this person has on the singer, even though it may not always be positive. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and dependency, mixed with frustration and desire for escape. Overall, it's about the emotional turmoil and intensity of being involved with someone who has a powerful, perhaps destructive, influence on the singer's life.

[@SO.CAL-D.Edwards]

I am sure they will come out with a live performance when they find the one they want. Dany has said that some of the news songs are about the conflicting emotions of being in the spotlight and performing, she loves performing but touring does have some unpleasant things as well, interesting that the eclipse in the backround is mimicked in the video where they are at the center and the crowd sorrounds them in the drone shots on the fisheye lens.

I take it as tongue-in-cheek, as if to say, "this is a body I wouldn't mind having and displaying."

I don't think a rock band is taken seriously unless they write their own songs. I was thinking about this the other day, and it seems to depend on the genre.
