Thanks Tim. Fun to see it broken down. I got to see them live in Chicago recently. They are indeed amazing singers and to know that they sing without any "assistance" made it all the more amazing.

2025-08-19 14:25:01 +0000 UTCThanks so much, Tim. I remember the day a few months after I found The Warning where I watched Amour something like 15-20 times in a row, in part to figure out what was going on with the harmonies. I watched both the Pepsi performance and the Teatro Metropólitan performance—watching both was helpful to see who was singing when. I figured out that low/high to high/low reversal that Dany and Pau do. Their voices blend so well—sister harmonies!—that in each case it really sounds like a single voice, so it seemed like Dany's voice (where the camera attention was) changed in character from one section to the other. Also, while I agree that Ale is singing low harmonies for most of the time, I think she is singing the haunting high vocals at the very end. It could be Pau, but Ale has such a beautiful head voice—for example, in Sinister Smiles and in Revenant. (BTW, you will LOVE breaking down Revenant. I will recommend it next.) Thanks for doing this! The Warning's harmonies are one of the (many) things I love so much about them.

2025-08-17 18:17:24 +0000 UTCYes! This is what I'm here for! My untrained ear does hear that beautifull things are going on, but sometimes just can't quite separate their voices. I really appreciate your detailed analysis! These ladies are just unparalleled in their ability to create heavenly harmonies.
