The Warning - Revenant (Live at Teatro) - Reaction from the Margarita Kid

One of the most beautiful songs I think I've ever heard. I don't typically get emotional the first time I hear a song, but this one is an exception.

[@jamessummerlin9516]

Pau could sing her grocery list and probably bring grown men to tears. She can just tear your heart out, such talented young women.

[@franciscodiaz183]

The richness of artistic expression that the Villarreal sisters have in The Warning is simply wonderful.

[@thomasmalatesta7331]

I first heard this song the day it was released. When the song was over, I was convinced that this band is on a superstar trajectory. I have not seen a group this talented and this musically versatile since Queen.

[@jimmybunch1651]

[@cncs2806]

I felt exactly the same when I first heard this song. Pau's voice in these slower balads always makes me emotional.

[@larryday9455]

There is something about Pau's voice. It can reach into your soul and pull out emotions.

[@ericlenouy8756]

Yep, The Warning does that 🙂 Pau carries so much emotion in her voice...

[@SO.CAL-D.Edwards]

This band is exceptional.. they al started on piano at 3,4,5 ,6 yrs old. After receiving the game"Rock Band" for Christmas they loved it so much the parents ask them if they wanted real instruments.. of course they said yes . Today their ages are 23,21,19 yrs. Old They've been a band 10 + yrs.. already. They all attended Berklee college of music.. and now ready to conquer the world.. 🤟🎶☮️

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

I think they're more than ready... I think they've started!

[@FelipeSilva-nm9hx]

You are not alone, brother. When Pau sings from the heart , she touches something inside many of us. It's amazing, and hard to explain ❤

[@ScottT248]

Pai has that way to want to make you cry. Her voice is so angelic and soulful and so emotional. We completely understand you crying. We have all done it when she sings.

[@ez68eldo]

Yep... This man just got warned all up in his feels. Been there, done that many times.

[@oregonlt3]

Yup, we’ve all been there. It’s Paulina’s gift. ‘Black Holes’ & her version of ‘Creep’ get me every time. The key to what the songs about (my interpretation) is the title & the crackling fire. The lyrics are from the perspective of the Revenant (undead or spirit returning to haunt the living) she is haunting her killer as he goes about destroying the evidence.

[@TUBBYMAXX]

Right there with you Brother.... Pau can make the strongest of people weep with Her voice..... So Incredible these 3 Ladies !!!

[@professorg9424]

The guest guitarist is Pliego Villarreal, bassist of the band Kinky. They are calling him "Primo" (cousin) because of the name.

[@bankmystr]

I'm a 51-year-old grandfather and Paulina makes me cry all the time

[@genboyer]

Wow, you're young!!!

[@KansaSCaymanS]

The guest guitarist is Pliego Villarreal who they call Primo (cousin) because he has the same last name though not related. He is the bassist for a Mexican band called Kinky and is playing a 10 string (5 doubled) bass guitar known as a bajo quinto. This song is just another example of the diversity and compelling nature of their music and talent. 😎👍

[@peterwaterford9482]

What I find particularly notable about The Warning is their songcraft. Here we have the intro instrumental motif, then half a verse with that opening motif echoed an octave higher, the second half verse, this time with harmony, then pre-chorus ("say goodbye...") in a different key, then chorus. Repeat the intro motif, this time with harmonies. Then after the second verse/pre-chorus/chorus, a 16-bar bridge with BOTH harmony (Ale) AND counter-melody (Dany)! And then end on an unresolved chord. And oh yeah, it's the DRUMMER, all five-foot-nothing (I'm being generous) of her, singing!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Wow, it sounds like you're reading that comment directly off of the chart!

[@Scott_Diverscott]

When they're not melting faces, they're tearing out hearts. Who's cutting onions, behind me? Jeeze!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

I'm not crying, you're crying

[@biglew1161]

them darn ninjas keep rubbing their onions in my eyes.

[@ripmcmanus773]

I don't know how many times I've listened to this song, but it makes me cry every time. Which of The Warning's songs is my favorite changes as often as the stoplight on the corner, but Revenant is heavily in the mix. Pau is simply not from this universe.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

This song showcases one of the things Pau does best, tugs on the heart strings with her voice and amazing lyrics!

[@mrh3578]

I get emotional every time I see this performance (about 20 times now)

[@spidernose]

The girls make me cry on a daily basis.

[@mjc1389]

We all had the same reaction! TWA will fill you in on the details of the guest musician. I don’t want to get the info wrong. There are many interpretations of Revenant out there. One thing for sure is Pau has the perfect emotive voice to sing their ballads.

[@spaceknave]

We don't know who the boy is. The several theories are that it is loosely based on the movie Revenant, where after a significant bear attack leaves a man (Leonard DiCaprio) mortally wounded, he is left for dead by his hunting party (Set in the 1800's), he makes it back alive and tracks down his former friends seeking vengeance. Hopefully I didn't butcher that summary. Another theory is she is singing to a lone wolf shooter who has just committed an unforgivable act. Either way it's an incredibly emotional song, they may give hints to the original intent eventually, but they will likely keep it vague as long as they can,

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks for the ideas. I remember the move Revenant pretty well (and that scene with the bear specifically has become legendary). I'm perfectly ok with not knowing, really.

[@rrnum7]

This is probably The Warning 's most enigmatic song, but Pau has actually talked a bit about its meaning. A youtuber asked her about it and this was her answer (translated from Spanish): "Revenant is about a bounty hunter. At least that's how the song started. Now we also think of it as a message to oneself, about having to change as a person in order to move forward in life."

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

If the meaning is changing over time for the person/people who wrote the song, then I don't feel bad about not completely getting it :-)

[@billholder1330]

@@DadDaughtersandDrinks That's the real songwriting artwork of The Warning - they manage to leave so much open to personal interpretation, even with such evocative lyrics. They paint the most wonderful pictures with the words and melodies, but they way they trick our minds into "filling in the blanks" is right up there - an ability they share with great storytelling authors (thinking JRR Tolkien here, who managed a similar "specific but also open to interpretation" style of description). Sheer artistry in their songwriting!

[@marcogutierrez437]

Welcome to the beautiful side of the Warning! now u know why TWA is so loyalty! Viva The Warning!

[@blacksunshine1437]

⚡🔥🤘 Vocal jewelry by The Warning !🤘🔥⚡

[@FullTexanEffect]

The Warning have auch a great range of songs. They never get boring. 🤘⚡🔥 Also, after Pick-Gate, I'm surprised you didn't notice the magical disapearing and reapperaing Dr Simi on Dany's lap. 🤣

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Ha, you're right! And you should trademark Pick-Gate, that's a perfect description.

[@peterwaterford9482]

@@DadDaughtersandDrinks In addition to the magical Dr. Simi, there's a dissolve at 7:10 where Pau's legs are crossed and uncrossed at the same time LOL.

[@marktaylor1799]

@@peterwaterford9482 I always notiece that, I always wondered how she crossed tham again so fast.

[@d4anzig]

Great song and you would not be the first reactor to get choked up by The Warning there are many video compilations of The Warning reactors losing it and congrats on your entry into one of them ...

[@MrJest2]

_"All I know, is it makes me want to cry"_ ... Yeah, The Warning does that. Their tunes tend to be immensely personal, and incredibly emotional. This is one of their best, in terms of that aspect. And now you grasp what _Revenant_ means. Sort of... which is how many of us see it. Like most songs they do, it's open to interpretation (deliberately so) and sometimes - especially when Pau belts out a song from her heart - it kinda whollops you. And that's a *good* thing. It means you "get it"... and honestly, isn't that what music is supposed to be _about_ ?!?!

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Indeed it is!

[@AchimE]

You deserved subbing, so I did! Thanks for all your reactions to this promising talented band! I am a fan, saw them in London/UK last year and have my tickets for their next Euro tour in April! Go to their shows, they are even more amazing live, to feel the bass and their energy! Thanks, greetings from Germany 👍⚡️🤘

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Danke schon! I will certainly see them if I get the chance.

[@jluisg622]

--The Warning en cada tema demuestran que son un grupo de Rock de mucho talento con temas musicalmente sólidos y letras con profundos contenidos como Revenant un tema interpretado por Pau con su voz triste y melancólica que te mueve el sentimiento ,Pau es un músico completo

[@DadQuixote7]

Love your reaction to one of the most beautiful songs ever written!

[@JuanCastro-cv3md]

We will see what happens. But Pau is in her way to being one of the greatest songwriters of her generation

[@mt4design2]

Well, Dad, welcome to The Warning. I see you becoming more and more invested in them as you watch this concert. Honestly, you've only scratched the surface. This is only a sampling of the songs they've written and an incredible show with outstanding performances...but they've been writing and gigging for ten years. More than half Ale's life. As you dig deeper into their story you'll become more invested (especially as a father, and a father of girls). Interestingly, no matter how hauntingly beautiful this live performance is, in my opinion, the cut on the album is even more so. When you do listen to the actual album consider this...there are no studio musicians. They play all the instruments, and Revenant is an instance where they use instruments not typically used in a "rock song". There is a lyric video on their channel and I suggest just hitting play, sitting back with your eyes closed, and letting it all in. If this made you emotional, that will break you. Great reaction.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Wow, great advice. I'll give that a shot. I know that I've only scratched the surface, and I also know I even need to rewatch this concert several more times to really absorb it. I'll get there eventually.

[@johnhawkins_twa]

One moment she's destroying her drum kit, and then she comes out and does this and you're chopping onions before you know what hit you.

[@billholder1330]

Great reaction - I found it overwhelming the first time, too.

[@DaveRod76]

The Warning nails another reactor in the feels. And Dad strikes me as a no-sense guy with a tougher layer of skin than most, and they still got under it.

[@TerryParsons1724]

This is a beautiful song Pau always sings these ballads with a lot of emotion and the harmonies are awesome. Thanks this has been great.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@knavekid]

It occurs to me that the inspiration for this song might have been the movie, "The Revenant".

[@jayhegener3028]

Black Holes from the Dakota Bar is another tear jerker from Pau. She was 13 when she wrote it, 15 when she gave that wonderfully emotive performance. It may be my favorite of theirs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/on6bfJiHlNmBh8Usi=YAAuUp5bBEHpUECc

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Thanks - going on the list!

[@SDsailor7]

That on and breathe are my Favorite ballads.

[@SDsailor7]

The end is also great!

[@phsjockstrap]

Primo is playing a traditional 10 string Mexican bass.

[@marktaylor1799]

I am sure that Pau wrote it in the beginning with some specific person in mind but is likely having so much fun listening to how others interpret it to let us know. Many times what we think it means evovles as we think about he words more deeply and it is easy for me to imagine that the writer can sometimes find a song writing itself to a different conclusion as they think of what to say next.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

They always say that's the sign of good art - it means different things to different people, and no one is necessarily right or wrong. Especially when it means different things to the author over time :-)

[@mijgreco3914]

You should check out Pau's cover of 'creep' by Radio head when you get the chance. Just her, piano and an iPhone. Tear jerker for sure.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

Wow, will definitely take a look - love that song!

[@RussInCanada]

Guest musician is Pliego Villarreal. No relation.

[@johnager6226]

Been there, did that. ❤✌🤘 from England.

[@robhaunui3343]

Great reaction in the fact you had nothing to say - that there spoke volumes. Although Dany has the bigger range than Pau,it's Paus vocals abilities on the slower ballad numbers that I prefer. There's just something magical about her vocals that draw you in,and take over any emotion you have. Great backing vocals by Ale and Dany,especially Danys higher register here (it's not Ale folks,if you look closely you'll see),but this song was one of the slower numbers on the album that wasn't looked favorably by some Warning fans when it first came out,but oh how things have changed since,this "23" and "Breathe" proving to be fan faves now,and for good reason.

[@DadDaughtersandDrinks]

It's funny how the slower ones can have a slow burn before they're accepted... and then they just skyrocket

[@ZWQ945]

That's what happens. Out of nowhere for no particular reason. Be sure to watch Daniela's solo acoustic performance of "When I'm Alone" from the Auditorio Parbellon M, in Monterrey Mexico (The Warning's hometown). kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4StlmOfhM2eqbc Paulina's solo acoustic performances of "Breathe" from the Pepsi Center, WTC in Mexico City. The only time "Breathe" has been performed live. Paulina said she wouldn't perform it live but did it as a present to the sold out 8k crowd. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGrYXqmEa92Lb7s and "Black Holes" kzbin.info/www/bejne/navXf6eqgq-Eh8U

Thanks for those links!

[@Divedown_25]

When you find a band and every single song is good....this is the reaction. After this and by yourself you can dig into all their vlogs and community updates on KZbin with rig run downs and information about songs etc if you are Patron you can see Pau bake food and cakes to some less success 🙂

[@SDsailor7]

Those vlogs are a available to everybody now. I have watched them.

[@WaldoKitty]

a REVENANT is "one that returns after death or a long absence"... this song by DPA/TW is the 12th one on their "ERROR" album, their 3rd since they became a band 10 years ago... to me, this song appears to be about loss, heartbreak, and pain... they have a few songs of similar theme... in this one, the protagonist seems to want to say goodby to the past after some sort of breakup or possibly a death... they are trying to come to terms with what happened and are seeking the truth about what transpired... going by the definition of REVENANT, maybe that one who has been gone is returning or has returned and maybe there is some hope for reconciliation of sorts? in this rendition of DPA/TW's *Revenant* , the guest musician is Pliego Villarreal (no relation to DPA but they do call him cousin) and he is playing a Mexican 10 string bass known as a bajo quinto... other guest musicians have been Beto Ramos (Pau's drum coach), Pablo González Sarre (Ale's bass coach and band mentor), Arejay Hale (Halestorm drummer), and Barry Stock (Three Days Grace lead guitar)... they have also shared the stage with other bands like Moderatto (an '80s glam metal parody band) and Eruca Sativa (Argentine alternative rock band)...

No one really knows what this song is about. All I know, is that the label should have pushed it to top 40 radio.

Scariest song they've ever done. I do NOT want to be that "Dear Boy" - YIKES! Don't make Pau angry!! hehe
