[@DAMHoo]

How can you not love Pau. Such a sweet soul

[@gorddunbar7453]

First of all, thank YOU for your own vulnerability as evoked by Pau's performance. What really struck deeply for me was, once the crowd realized Pau was struggling to continue, they added their voices to help her along. The audience got it. Inside - are too many times for far too many of us - we feel like we are all alone with no support, so that, in Pau's song lyrics, we just disappear. The audience was assuring her she was NOT alone. They were with her and they understood. Pau ends by saying "I love you all." Then, despite having the flu and only able to perform because the doctor administered steroids to allow the performance to go on, she went back to her kit to play the next song on the set list: Enter Sandman. What a brave, strong, self-aware tower of strength Pau is.

[@rodneyramirez603]

Pau bled on stage for us…she was in pain and chose this time when she knew all the TW fans would catch her when she fell…

[@Jonno2summit]

I love these sisters. I'm 59, a decades old Rush fan, and love that true rock and musicianship lives again.

[@roncarey8810]

Hey! That's my line!!! I am the same way...and age!!!

[@nbrowser]

This one broke me...the amount of raw emotion on full display here is insane...just so powerful.

[@roywall8169]

This was Pau choosing to unload a burden she had been carrying for some time. No one knows just what she was hefting, but she obviously felt the time was right to let it go…..with people who care for her all around. I am so glad she was able to lighten her load and move on. This song is one of my favorites that she has written. 🤘🏻🥹🤘🏻

[@Ieeho98]

Yes, mine too. Another one of her songs that doesn't get much attention at all is Escape The Mind. She performed it live at Liceo de Monterrey show for their classmates. Those girls were singing with her there too!

[@LostHate]

Unforgettable performance

[@bobkellerjr1956]

These young ladies are just incredible... I am a 68 year old Rock and Roll Fanatic. I am so proud to know them, support them, and enjoy the art they create. It is such a pleasure to see that this fame and and talent hasn't corrupted these three women. A loud shoutout to mom and dad , and the rest of their team for guiding and protecting Dany, Pau, and Ale. You all have done well!! I have laughed hysterically watching their Vlogs, and interviews. I have been made stronger by their lyrics. I have cried, teared up, and been torn apart by The Warning. They are so "Goosebump Worthy" as well. I love them as I love my own adult kids. Thank you The Warning for these 11+ years of the pleasure of your music. I am and will always be a fan till my last breath. 😍🤩☺

[@mshatters28]

[@rockero1313]

gets me every time 😭😭 57 yrs old male here and crying for the 20th time watching Pau pouring her amazing heart out 😍😍 nice reaction 👍👍

[@MrJest2]

I think, more importantly, all those people showed Pau that _she_ was not alone. And when she started to break down, the audience were very glad to sing the ending for her, showing they love and support her, and appreciate that she went above and beyond singing a song she said she'd never sing live. And while she is well known to cry at the drop of a hat over the silliest of things, _this_ was vastly more heartfelt than most of the time, and we all feel it. A truly impressive and honest performance that we may never see again.

[@JosephRios-p1c]

love, love ,love. that the warning is here on this planet..

[@brianslifeafterstroke5990]

it was beautiful that the audience completed the song for her when she broke down...

[@Caldyman]

Very sweet reaction. Vulnerable Pau just tears your heart up. She's incredible. You have to go to one of their shows, if you haven't already. They are just on another level.

[@mt4design2]

“As an artist…” So true. We put pieces of ourselves into every creation. Dany, Ale, and Pau do this with everything they create and they’ve said this over and over. “We can create something, put it out in the world, and people react to it.” - Pau. Can you imagine putting a song like Breathe out there, with every vulnerability exposed, and the first time you share it live the crowd knows every word and sings it back to you? In English! This was Mexico City. I don’t know how she even made it through the performance only that she faces fear and pushes through it on a mission to share her self with those who love her…and that is equally as beautiful as the dark and haunting lyrics of Breathe. Great reaction.

[@jfw413]

Perfect example of an empath in broadcast mode. Whatever your connection with the energy it is, you feel it in your eyes and elswhere too. I don't think I could stand being on her end of the feedback loop she created there.

[@TheWilkiwonder]

I was there with my daughter!! It was a very awesome moment and we both cry a lot !! Very touchy

[@blakband]

I 100% agree that the lyrics describe the feeling of anxiety and panic (somewhat similar to The Warning's song, When I'm Alone but different). Of course, the power of music is in the fact that it means different things to different people. This live version is what inspired us to cover the song in our own way. It was very cathartic to go through the process of covering it. In any case, good reaction video.

[@Oskar2922]

✨Es una canción que solo dura 2:43 min., pero que duele toda la vida. Grande Pau!!! ⚡🤘

[@MarkBtvd]

💔 Thanks for your insightful comments. Don't know what other platforms this was on, but her Instagram post is still there, where she says "nothing more humbling than crying in front of 8,000 people - thank you for singing with me through the tears 🫶🏼🥹".

[@yeticatcher]

The Warning are advocates for mental health. Pau's writing is from the heart whether it's from personal experience such as this song or an incident that she or the girls have been privy too. She is a bundle of emotions that she often seems to wear on her sleeve. Just lovely and human.

[@funkster007]

Then Pau's sweet smile just makes it even more emotional. SIGH

[@2twenty]

Rachel, this is probably my favorite reaction of yours to date. You “get it”. Pau is a treasure, and I really hope the 3 of them get all the flowers they so richly deserve. Thanks for sharing your heart. Keep doing this, you never know who you’re touching with your words.

[@LeoOz365]

She has touched my soul every time...😢❤

[@ScottT248]

This song is personal to Pau and no matter what you hear, no one really knows what it is about or why Pau wrote it. I don't think she will ever play this again live for a long time if at all. It is one of those magical moments that you will never see again, so enjoy this video. You can tell the emotion qand apin in this song and if you do not have a tear by the end of the song something is wrong. It is so sad to see Pau, one of the best and fiercest drummers tear up at the end.

[@oldmanyeni1663]

I feel very fortunate 1) to have been in the room to hear this performance, and 2) to have a copy of the lyrics to this song hand-written by Pau. Like many others, this song has had a big impact on my. More than just about any in the last 25 years. Feels like a panic/anxiety attack in a song. "Is it so wrong, wrong to want to be alright" is indeed the line that got me. Simple. Illustrative. Impactful.

[@alistairwhite2906]

I haven't seen them live yet, being in Oz. But when I got to choose a hand written copy of lyrics to one of their songs, I also chose this one/Pau to write it. Hell of a song and a stunning performance.

That Pau can dit down at a piano and play so gentle and heartfelt after banging the life out of her drums is amazing. This performance speaks volumes about her.

[@Skazz92]

I was there in that concert! It was so heart warming, she was so emotional and the song was just perfect. I've seen them live 3 times and now in February I'll see them for the fourth time, I'm so excited!

[@bernardoaguilargt3763]

Pro musician here. It’s not just what the song means to the performer, it’s the audience reaction what can be overwhelming. Something similar happened to Dany few days prior at Monterrey while singing “When I’m alone”.

[@runmiltality5230]

The Warning are so very very special to me as a lover of rock music... We the Army Of The Warning should protect DPA at all costs...

[@dennisbradley3562]

She is special. Scary that she is going to get even better. Thank you for the reaction.

This perfromace was shared by audiance memebrs with their recorders versions months ago and the first time I saw this perfroamce I Wept lol the only other song that had me with such emotions was Johny Cash version of Hurt. I saw them last week for the first time in Brooklyn as I became a fan a month ago and they are soooo much better live .

[@reactionsaccount3955]

FYI she didn't tell the crowd to not sing as a joke, but because she knew that if the crowd sang along, she would have immediately lost it.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

A lot of people will tell you this is about her dealing with the loss of a friend. I believe it is about Pau' dealing with anxiety and panic attacks. So, your analysis is probably right on target. Having had panic attacks driven by anxiety in the past, the lyrics accurately describe the smothering (drowning) feelings.

[@hardknox1917]

Pau said it was about her panic attacks ,

[@saby5075]

But, the true is, nobody else really knows the true meaning, but, Pau.

[@NM-tr6kq]

@@hardknox1917 I believe Pau has described this song as “a panic attack set to music”.

[@GreatOutdoors1]

@@NM-tr6kq That has been brought up many times but I can't find a single person who can show the source of that quote. It also wouldn't mean that the song was about panic attacks, it could mean that it felt like a panic attack dealing with it and writing the song.

[@bjwnashe5589]

I thought it was written from the perspective of a friend who was suicidal, similar to the way in which Black Holes was written from the perspective of a distant relative struggling with addiction.

[@jrgenervik9977]

Great song and preformance. Must have been a Great show for those who where there and this might be the only time she does this song live.

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

PAULINA PAULINA PAULINA... What a feeling it must be to hear 8000 people chant your name. The crowd showed her their love, and she used her soul as a mirror, to reflect it right back. That voice... The bug running roughshod through her body that night didn't stand a chance.

[@musicfanatic6558]

That is one of the most beautiful moments I've ever seen from an artist who had written a song about a loss that was deep and personal and then sing it to fans; Because of her appreciation of the Love the fans have given in support of their success, Pau wanted to give something back and was willing to give it in the most vulnerable way....That's a total trust in the fans. Thank you Pau! How the fans there responded was phenomenal. The Villareal sisters Rock! 🤘

[@SDsailor7]

It is not known what the song is about. Pau said that it is a panic attack set to music.

[@AidenLidi]

She said "No! I need to sing this well" Meaning she got surprised when the crowd started singing with her and she wanted to cry, that's why she said "I need to sing this well".

[@BryKG]

One of the beauties of this song is it blankets. There no one soeciithing it centers on. The way its written leaves it so relatable that it could be depression, heart break, stress, pressure etc. its not like most song where "this is how I feel, except this line or that verse". No matter what it is thats weighing you down or feels like its "pulling you under" can be related to this song word for word and theres not a person out there that can say theyve never felt anything that can make them feel this song

[@mburkitt7678]

When the audience knows the lyrics to a song that is not their native language, that is not regularly performed at your shows, and wants to join in, to be part of what you are doing, you know you are doing a lot of things right.

Pau is a genius, so she struggles like a genius. Anxiety, depression, how do you say "incomprendido". We feel that we don't belong, we don't fit, the "majority rejection". The world said they "love artist, love genius for what they receive from them" that's a f* lie, the world is a hell for us.

Absolutely wonderful live performance!! Paulina is a treasure for all humanity! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@espinozasergio]

Hola amiga. Paulina incluyó "Breathe" en el bonus track del tercer álbum llamado "Error". En su momento dijo que no la iba a interpretar en vivo porque era una canción muy personal y muy sentida para ella. Cuando The Warning presentó su álbum "Error" en el Teatro Metropolitan de Ciudad de México en el 2022, se escuchó la pista de la canción "Breathe" en el interludio del concierto. Paulina en ese momento se negó a interpretar la canción en vivo. Finalmente, en octubre del 2023, en el concierto del Pepsi Center, creo que Paulina encontró la oportunidad ante 8 mil personas de exorcizar la canción y de alguna manera sacar la pesada carga emocional que llevaba dentro de sí. Saludos desde la Patagonia Argentina. The Warning nos une.

[@TravisFlint1]

Such a gift shared with all of us!!!!!!!

[@n5cbi]

She sometimes projects a spirit kindred with the passion and vulnerability of Edith Piaf.

[@steveherman6909]

Pau did have to fight through this one, but that's the beauty of it being probably the only time we will see this track performed live. Not just emotionally either, but that's part of her strength. I've always felt that she tries to drop too low out of her range. She is natural and in her stride in mid to mid highs. There's a lot of noticeable effort and a drop in power when she goes low. That said, this is probably the best live performance that we have been privileged to get from Pau to date.

[@ThomasHooper-bt1xf]

I imagine her getting a huge hug from her sisters, and then quickly gained her composure because they play Enter Sandman next

(HUGS) to you as well. It is an amazing song, and a heartfelt performance.

[@brianproctor411]

I'll say what this song is about as best I know. (They don't talk about it.) Pau wrote this about in the 8th grade after a school friend died tragically. Story is, it was a suicide. Hence the lyric: "Is it so wrong to want to feel alright?" That age is tough because kids at that age can be so cruel, to the point it hurts alot and you feel like you'll never recover. Not enough life lived yet. We learn as we go on life can often be cruel and you can press on and feel better. They needed an extra song at the end of recording the Error album, her Team talked her into putting it on the album. She refused to re-record it in the studio so they used the only version available. The one she recorded at home. She wrote and recorded it to heal herself. Bless her heart, this song means alot to her as we saw.

[@brianproctor411]

She walked off stage and got a big hug from Ale. And went to beat the drums for Enter Sandman. That is her therapy.

[@javierornelas3558]
