Ratty Reacts to The Warning - Breathe LIVE from Pepsi Center CDMX (Pau can sing so well!)

[@RattyReacts]

I hope everyone enjoyed! :) Here is a playlist of all my reactions to The Warning (future/present): kzbin.info/aero/PLDYJIGSuxqEmGFk7r7dFWd5MNPMqOhz1w

[@MarkBtvd]

All the sisters learned to play piano at very early ages. Pau was essentially baring her soul here. This is not just some well-written ballad -- she wrote it about and for herself, voicing a difficult struggle she was having. She knew it would hit hard which is why she said she would never perform it live. Yet perform it she did out of love for those 8000 people who came to help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band. In fact her last remark translates to "I love you very much". The audience helped her finish the song when it became clear she couldn't. I'm guessing part of the reason Pau cried is she could feel the love for her from that crowd.

[@jamesanderson5268]

Pau said this song is a panic attack set to music. It's a very personal song to her.

[@darrinashby9019]

She says she is very sick and her voice isnt very well. Its song that she said she would never do live because its too personal. 8000 people came to see them so she wanted to sing it for them. What a wonderful voice. You need to go back one song in the show and play Black Holes. Another on the piano but with orchestra. Also check out "Revenant" from the Teatro Metropolitan show.

[@SDsailor7]

The requester should have requested both black holes and Breathe in the same video and told him to activate that close captions but most people forget about this Little detail.

[@darrinashby9019]

@SDsailor7 The cc is not very accurate but its close enough to get the point.

[@SDsailor7]

@@darrinashby9019 To bad that the song from the Pepsi center cannot be reacted to individually or can they? those songs have the correct translation.

[@jeffgray9943]

The crowd finished the song for her. In the album version the ' OHHH, OHHH OHH' is the end of the song!.❤❤❤

[@mykemech]

It's so funny how people say they "let the drummer do a song". I have a feeling no one has ever "let" her do anything. I think it's more of a "get out of her way" rather that "let" her lmao ;)

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Exactly.

[@glenmcculla6843]

Storm Paulina is a force of nature.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

This song always hits right in the feels every time I hear it! I am so glad she chose this night to perform it!

[@zwhtan]

Although she was quite sick during this performance, I think the "shakiness" is actually her embracing her fast vibrato to commit to the emotion of the song.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

They generally don’t have any solo projects (yet), though Pau did write, perform, record and produce this song herself for the end of their Error album. 👍😎

[@jc-aguilar]

In the full concert video, they added a translation to the Spanish. Same for Dany’s during “when I’m alone”

[@torresilk4277]

Yes, in particular it’s the correct translation that auto translate doesn’t quite get right in the individual videos. There are timestamps in the full concert video

[@WaldoKitty]

this Pepsi Center performance was the 3rd of the three 10th Anniversary concerts... they played the same performance in Guadalajara (Oct 21, 2023, Teatro Diana - 2500+), Monterrey (Oct 25, 2023, Pabellon M - 4500+), and Mexico City (Oct 28, 2023, Pepsi Center - 8000+)... all three performances had the same set list (with a notable difference or two), same costumes, same stage design and light show (or as close as possible for the venue)... they premiered *S!ck* and *Hell You Call A Dream* in Guadalajara and they had the 10-piece string sections with them at all three... the lighting was done by the same guy, Brian Bogovic, that does Halestorm's lighting... he had some free time that matched DPA/TW's schedule so they made things happen... somewhere is a BTS showing them working on the lighting programming and controls at the office before doing it all actually setup... very cool stuff... i saw all three performances via live fan cam streams and they were ... i mean, "WOW!" doesn't even begin to describe it... i remember the double surprise when *S!ck* and *HYCAD* were premiered in Guadalajara... and the surprise when the string section appeared out of nowhere for *Black Holes* and *Enter Sandman* was indescribable... Pau playing *Breathe* right after *Black Holes* here in Mexico City was a monstrous surprise to everyone watching... there were a lot more than 8000 pairs of eyes overflowing from that portion of the set... i fully enjoyed seeing them and only miss not actually being there... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@fantus01]

this is the bonus track on Error .... Lava wants a song more and they send them Breathe .... A DEMO recorded at the slightly detuned family piano. Lava puts it 1:1 on the Error album .... it has its own flair. They all write songs but the must are created from Pau at the piano . and than it be warnified :)

[@keenian6164]

Pau is an angel.... a fantastic creature!!!!!

[@keithwillenson8314]

The Pepsi Center may be the only live performance ever. For the Error album, the studio requested another song. Pau had written Breathe and agreed to have it on the album if she never had to play it live. That was written into the album contract. The recorded version was not done in a studio, but with Pau playing their slightly out of tune home piano. During the album debut concert (Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHjddWeGoM10iM0), they played the album track with no one on stage. Gave me the chills. Pau sings lead on about 20% of their songs. No one "lets" Pau do anything, unless they want a song written about them. Pau writes most of their songs, starting on the piano. She wrote Animosity about a break up with a bad friend.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Again, neither the studio nor the label requested another song. They realized at the last minute that they needed two additional tracks for (undisclosed) "logistical" reasons.

[@graybri]

These girls can do it all.

[@rlew49ers]

Breathe: (to understand what Pau was saying before she started singing you needed to turn on the English subs) It been mentioned in other comments from other reactors: Their record label wanted one more song to be added to their album "ERROR" and asked Pau for her song (Breathe) she agreed with the stipulation that she will not be forced to sing this song live, it was added to their album "ERROR" as a bonus track. At Teatro Metro concert a recording of Breathe was played during a break/change over; the setting was surreal the stage was dimly lit and only a black void where the audience sat/stood...then slowly cellphone lights lit up the darkness like fireflies. Now at Pepsi Center with 8,000 in attendance Pau felt compelled to sing Breathe live as a gesture of gratitude for the love and support of the fans. Hey, I just The Warning for the first time 4 weeks ago and have listened to just about everything on their channel, watched dozens upon dozens of reactions, interviews and documentaries. There have been many explanations as to why this song is so personal but until I hear it from Pau I remain skeptical.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

They realized at the last minute that they needed two additional tracks for (undisclosed) "logistical" reasons. Pau already had that one recorded, never intending to use it, but due to lack of time, she made the decision to use it for one of the two tracks.

[@rlew49ers]

@@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD Good to know!

[@alexpert]

So much a personnal ballad from Pau, We listen to the artist and her song, this always pierce my heart,, now , comment on drums if you like, but emotions are overwhelming and this is what counts in this stellar performance

[@thontor]

Did you know youtube can auto-translate the captions? "Breathe" was a bonus track on their third album, "ERROR," released in 2022. The label requested an extra song, so Pau recorded it at home on their slightly out-of-tune piano, and it was included on the album. Before performing it at the Pepsi Center, Pau said: "Ok, this next song. I said I was never going to play it live because it is a very personal song, but seeing all of you gathered here, it's incredible to think that there are 8,000 people here who came just to see us. Honestly, I’m kind of sick, and my voice isn’t in great shape, but I still want to sing this song for you."

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Again, the label did not request additional tracks. They needed to add two more tracks at the last minute for (undisclosed) "logistical" reasons. Also, for this song, auto-translated subtitles are not needed, as there are actual English subtitles.

[@thontor]

@ “When I’m Alone” is the one with actual English subtitles. “Breathe” does not have them. “they needed more tracks at the last minute” vs “they requested additional tracks”. I’m not sure how those contradict. Also, two? First I’ve heard two.

[@DavidSJatWork]

"They let the drummer sing one"...that's hilarious... The Warning is basically her band...she is the primary songwriter, creative force, interview spokesperson...this band is going to go wherever she takes it...

[@gorddunbar7453]

This song is so emotional for Pau because she wrote it descriving her feelings after a friend died by suicide. The crowd has a relationship with DPA that fuses music with artestry with compositional excellence with talent with really nice, humble, hard-working, dedicated women that is reciprocated by their desire to give the audience of 8,000 the best 10th anniversary of The Warning because of their loyalty. THAT'S why, when the audience sees Pau cannot finish the song, they do it for her out of love. Not many bands or people can create such an atmosphere.

[@SDsailor7]

Nope, this song is not about a friend commiting suicide. It is about a panic attack set to music Pau's words.

[@rickyjones01]

@@SDsailor7 Heard the "panic attack" was from a friend who died.

[@mykemech]

@@rickyjones01 It was not. Pau has ADHD fairly bad, and panic attacks are an unfortunate and scary part for many of us.

[@mykemech]

@@scottborenstein8291 I believe she watched a documentary about addiction then wrote it. There are some many myths spread about their songwriting. It's crazy.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

Oh look. Someone else promulgating a fantastical story. She never mentioned any friend dying.

[@v6jim2]

....and then, 90 seconds later she was playing Enter Sandman. Oh. Solo careers? No. And they most definitely can't play each others instruments! Hilariously demonstrated with some hilarious home VLOGS!

[@VebastionSettel]

As to whether they have solo careers, Pau and Dany have been invited on stage with a different band a time or two, but all 3 of them have said they have no interest in doing this without their sisters.

[@GreatOutdoors1]

This song is from their album Error. They haven't released anything officially individually, but you can see them sing by themselves on their KZbin channel. There are multiple videos of either Dany or Pau singing by themselves. You should check out Pau singing a cover of Radiohead's Creep.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

If he reacts to "Creep", he needs to let the video run all the way to the end. It is important.

Pau is the main songwriter in the band, and according to her sisters is the most likely to step up to lead.

[@CarlD70]

Thank Ratty, a very personal song from Pau, likely the last time we shall ever see it Live. English subtitles are available had you selected it, here is the translation of what she said: Well, this next song, I said I was never going to play it live because it's a very personal song, but seeing you all gathered here, it's incredible to think that there are 8000 people here right now who came to see us, and honestly I'm so sick, my voice it's not great today, but I want to sing this song for you. **Fans start singing with her** No, I need to sing it (alone)... **She bursts into tears** Than you very much, I love you so much.

[@paulbrinkmann1469]

My suggestion.. get into their history 11yrs of vlogs and music. Start from the beginning.

[@graybri]

They all play piano, it was their first instrument. She wrote this at 13 I believe.

[@GreatOutdoors1]

She wrote Black Holes at 13, I don't think it has ever been mentioned when she wrote this.

[@TFT-JF]

You said “They let the drummer…” As you get to know the band better, you’ll understand that Pau is a, if not the, major cog of this machine. Besides being an award-winning drummer, she is the main song writer, can sing lead while drumming and has co-directed one of their music videos. I would suggest you watch (and we’ll be right there with you) Tidal Rising and Mayday in the Making (1-6), two documentaries which would help you better understand the dynamic of the sisters. I’m sure you’d get plenty of views. I really like your style and look forward to your The Warning journey.

[@scottborenstein8291]

Yes, I wouldn’t recommend Breathe at the Pepsi center to a new listener, I think you should be more familiar with the band first. He was a little confused about it because all he has listened to so far are rockers, this is quite different. Yes, I would recommend the documentaries for him to better understand the band.

[@popdefender460]

That was beautiful. The piano and the melody. Really great. She has a great voice. I feel like in the beginning she was singing very low, nearly at the bottom of her range which can account for the shakiness and parts that were slightly off. When she got to the higher parts she really was stunning. 👍👍

[@thomasalbrecht5914]

Pau is the chief creator of the band, she will start off the writing process most of the time, and always on the piano. In this case, it stayed a piano ballad. It’s also a personal song because contrary to other deep lyrics, this one deals with her personal life. She has had panic attacks and still seems to be prone to having them. This performance is very likely to be a one-off. She had never intended to perform it. She did it finally because it was the tenth anniversary, but also very probably, to get it off her chest. The reaction of the audience says it all. This was painful, but also therapeutic for her. I don’t think there will be a repeat.

If you had the subs on from the get-go.... This song was a total gift to all of us!

[@R2robot]

She was saying that she was never going to play this song live.. but she did it here for the first time in front of 8k people. Pau is not just the drumer, she also the main songwriter/composer for the band. She spawns the ideas, melodies, lyrics and then shows it to the other 2 to finish fleshing out the songs.

[@davep5788]

YT will translate.

[@MrJest2]

Yeah; one of the things that's frustrated me from the beginning of Google's "auto-translate" is that you have to specify what language you want it to translate _to_ , even ignoring the sometimes bizarre nature of the output. It always defaults to "translating" to the original language, which is pointless. Having a way to permanently set a desired output language would be a huge improvement, but for some reason they've never gotten around to that. Normally, when they "let Pau be Pau" and do her Mexican ballad thing, the other two chime in one way or another, even if it's just subtle guitar/bass work. But while they knew she had decided to sing this that night, it's nothing they've ever really practiced before... because it was never supposed to played live.

[@iNsTaNtpUdDiNhEaD]

For this song, actual English subtitles are available. This always was a Pau solo song.

[@RattyReacts]

Yeah, I don't trust Google's translations haha. It feels like it gets non-translated transcripts wrong half the time, so I imagine once it auto-translates it, it is even further from the original meaning.

[@wchaza67]

So, Pau has never directly said what this song is truly about, as far as I know, but the lore of this song is that Pau wrote it just for herself as a way to deal with the depression of losing a close friend. The water is the despair and depression she was battling against and losing to, feeling like she was drowning. Again, that's not coming from Pau. Dany has talked about losing a close friend, and since Dany and Pau are only a couple years apart in age, it would make sense that it could be the same friend. They needed one more song to complete their 'Error' album and Pau decided to include this as that song, with the condition that she would never have to play it live because it's so personal to her. At this concert, in front of their biggest headline audiences to date at the time (8,000) and since it was their 10th anniversary concert, she decided to play it. Probably the only time she'll ever do it, unless many years from now when they eventually get into the R&R HOF, she can be convinced to do it one more time?

[@davejohnston2197]

Pau has said she will never go solo. Her sisters are too important to her songwriting process. They'll do performances with other bands, but their work is a collaboration of the three of them. Even in this case where the input was likely, no it's yours. Do it your way. ❤️⚡😭⚡🤘
