Reaction to The Warning performing "Black Holes" and "Breathe" Live at Pepsi Center CDMX

I was there flying from Hamburg Germany 24.000 km in a whole to CDMX and back. This concert and every thing around was the best thing ever happened in my 60 years long life. Needless to say that Paus "Breathe" was the top of all. So in Feb 2025 I'm coming back for the 2 shows in CDMX and the 1 show in Guadalajara. Hope to see u there? I love you both two for your lovely reactions to our girls. We are very proud of them.😍

[@sergiodelatejaytejeda]

Pau said: “...Well… This next song… I had said that I was never going to play it live… Because it’s a very personal song… But seeing you all here… Gathered together… It’s incredible to think that there are eight thousand people here right now… WHO CAME TO SEE US (No LOVE US)... And… Honestly I’m kind of sick, my voice is not so good… But… I want to sing this song to you…” And for some who didn't understand: Her first interruption when she was already singing was not because of a mistake on her part, but because she made the audience understand that if they sang it with her, then she couldn't do it, so she tells them: “...No! Necesito cantarla, oigan…” ("...No! I need to sing it..."). The entire video of this extraordinary and emotional song is a roller coaster of feelings and emotions. Pau's tearful smile is beautiful, as is the crowd singing along to the melody and at the end her name... "...Paulina!!... Paulina!!..." And the last thing she says: "...Muchas gracias... Los quiero muchísimo..." (“...Thank you very much... I love you so much...”). Anyone who doesn't get emotional at this is a heartless psychopath. Thanks and greetings from México!! 🇲🇽 🤘😁✌️ .

From a young teenager composing this heartfelt song about addiction on the family's famously slightly-out-of-tune upright piano, to performing it with string accompaniment on a concert grand before thousands of awestruck fans singing along with her.

Said it before - never thought that I'll cry with a band in more than 4 decades of listening to the Blues & Rock and Roll. "Can't call for help, so I'll just call my name" How desperately desperate is that though? Pau returned to her metaphorical best here after Queen of the Murder Scene.

I have said it so many times but Pau is a special person. Talented, smart, beautiful, and real. That goes for all three of them, but Pau has that rare quality that draws you in and makes you feel what she is feeling. All three of them are so personable, humble, and appreciative of their fans that it's impossible for me not to love them, and I know I'm not alone. I was also going to the Knoxville show tonight, but I will get to see them in Montreal in October so I'm just glad they are safe. I live in East Tennessee and the storm damage is considerable here. As of this morning, 33 people are missing in my area. People are still being evacuated due to flooding and the possibility of a dam failure caused by the tremendous runoff from the mountains. Some have lost their homes, cars, and all of their possessions. We woke up this morning to emergency alerts to evacuate and seek higher ground immediately. We live above the flood level so we are safe and have supplies to last until this is all over, many are not so lucky. Prayers for everyone going through all this.

LA based Grammy winning producer David Garza along with The Warning arranged the orchestration. I am absolutely certain that Pau had a lot of say in this arrangement, given her expertise with Vivaldi. The strings are from their hometown's Escuela Superior de Música y Danza de Monterrey. Apparently David Garza is also from the same northern region of Mexico as the sisters. Credit is also given to Juan Carlos Paz y Puente for the arrangement. He is an award winning Mexican musician who was one of the directors for Warner Music Mexico.

[@EriktheG248]

Now that whoever around me was cutting up the onions left, i just wanted to point out that these show what a great song writer she is. The first song about an addict telling her to just forget about them, written from the perspective of the addict. And she was how old when she wrote that? I don't know if it's something that happened to her in real life, but even if it is, writing from.the point of view of the other person can't be easy for most song writers of that age. She may never explain what the song is about, butbto write about drowni g from the perspective of the victim is a level of artistry i will never achieve. Even if she was using drowning an a metaphor for something she was experiencing herself, being able to put it to words like that for someone who was, i think, 13 when she wrote it is just unbelievable.
