Thank you all so much for all your insightful and thought provoking comments on the original video - BEST COMMENT SECTION EVER! I had a lot of fun reading your interpretations and look forward to hearing your thoughts to what everyone else had to say! Original Theory Video: th-cam.com/video/zH9_GpHdwEk/w-d-xo.html What would you like me to analyze next? xo Nena
Miss Nena I like your youtube,psychology Always interested me,as I noticed how David Lee and Paul S by themselves could make an audience feel and react and release. I'm new,but maybe like a topic was how others, fans,felt when the fave version of a group lost members over stuff other than death or sickness.cos when Peter and Ace left KISS I was bummed long time.thanks.
The depth that this band shows is definitely something needed in rock these days. Catchy songs with lots of lyrical depth. The more you dig, the more you discover.
I want to thank you Nena for providing a place on You Tube that emphasizes discussion of the analysis, and interpretation of music, and music videos. You have created a fresh, and unique channel amongst the same old music reaction channels!
This has been fun. Has there ever been this kind of intense discussion about an album even before it came out? Not that I know of. I remember how fans (endlessly) analyzed Dylan & the Beatles, but that was afterwards. This is a great marketing move. How calculated is it? And, if the album doesn't meet expectations, will it blow up in the band's faces? Will it be worth the wait? I expect it will be. These ladies have already proven that they know what they're doing.
I think in the past, we did not actually get to see the album covers before they came out, so we had to have the discussion afterwards. But I do agree that the level of interest they have been able to gain is something pretty extraordinary! :)
As any thoughtful artist the sisters appreciate and enjoy how an artistic proposition generate interpretation AND CHANGE to audiences. Regardless of THE meaning if that is ever possible, we all benefited from uncover the clues life leave us in order to comprehend purpose and ultimately happiness in this journey. Greetings from México and thanks again ❤️🇲🇽
Thanks for the mention in your analysis .I love it when a band goes in to so much thought provoking questions to be answered in situations like this .Now where is my magnifying glass ? Lol.
We need more of these kind of lore videos, they’re super interesting to me. I’ve been thinking that this is going to be a concept album for a while but I’m still not certain because the band has made no mention of this yet. Super excited for June 28th!
Thanks for the update on the artwork. You don't even want to know how many hours I've spent over the years, but especially when younger, examining every minute detail of album covers. I never thought it was any reference to the last supper, but thought about the Beggar's Banquet art. The have actually been a number of album covers with a similar banquet table spread. Below the Salt by Steeleye Span is pretty similar. I don't think it's a reference to any existing work, just a product of their active creativity. We're just going to have to hear the songs before knowing. We may even see interesting connections that the band themselves hadn't thought of. That happens all the time.
All of this is what interests me so much about them, everything they do is open to interpretation - nothing more absorbing than a puzzle! Right off to look at that cover again 😂
The album isn't out yet but I already love it thanks to the many analysis out there by us, fans. I think the girls had that on mind while planning the releasing schelude (since More) and with every new single, the theories enhance and fans' minds go into turmoil! Loved the video, Nena! 🤘🏼❤️
Another great reaction and analysis video, Nena! I could be wrong but, based on a recent Spanish- language interview with Pau that I watched yesterday, I believe that she MIGHT have been the primary creative mind behind the concept and creation of the art for this album cover. I say that because, in the interview, she revealed that she is producing, directing and even acting in the soon-to-be-recorded official music video for "Que' Mas Queres", the new Spanish song from the upcoming fourth album. Most of us know that, basically, she's been the initial driving force behind the band's songwriting over the years. She has said that she sees her song and lyrical ideas as pictures in her mind for which she will often lay out in physical storyboards. So, based on that, and saying in the interview that she's getting involved in additional areas of the creative process of and for the band, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that includes this cover art. Lastly, I note that Pau is the dominant, aggressive figure and focal point in the center of this artwork. AND, she is armed and about to engage in an act of violence. The burning question is, who or what is actually her target and why? Hmmm . . .
Hey Gregory! I think it is amazing that Pau is directly involved with the new video. I can't wait to see it! She has such an incredible imagination! :)
The girls love to send messages to their fans. Plus surprises The Warning Army. Is this album a continuation of Error?? No Is the artwork spoofing The Last Supper?? No Why?? Before the band goes on stage. They do that huddle with their hands in the middle with their crew & goes one two three Warning. Just before Ale put her hand in the middle. She does a fast blessings of the cross (father son holy spirit). She wouldn't be part of mocking the last supper. *So the last supper is out.* My theory is simply a dig at Corporatism. The title of the songs are all on the cover. The dress men represent conglomerates. With The Warning with a *"CORPORATE LOOKING LOGO"* (stale boring looking). With the band destroying the conglomerate dinner party. With Pau in the middle. Like she is on stage. Being on the table destroying the dinner. She's known for her *"SCREAM OF DESTRUCTION"* on Evolve. With Ale to Pau's right (our left). She's more elegant in her style. She'll spill wine on you. Then walk away. Dany to Pau's left (our right). She's more happy with the little things like a donut. Than with the corporate indulgence. To me. The cover art is called *QUÉ MÁS QUIERES.. ("WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?")* Keep Me Fed.
I got quoted!. I agree the banquet scene has a lot more in common with The Stones', Beggars Banquet. In art of the Renaissance we see similar kinds of decadent banquet scenes which The Stone's and TW's album art is directly reminiscent of.
Yes! I am not a huge fan of the RS (I don't dislike them, I'm just not well versed) and had actually never seen this artwork. Lots of similarities and a similar feel! :)
Great analysis! I certainly did not expect to see my comment as part of an analysis video. I’ll be more careful next time. 😂 Anyway thanks for including the community as part of the discussion.❤ Looking forward to more song analysis videos.
@@psychologyofrock I don’t recall if you have ever mentioned Nightwish. They and The Warning are my favorite bands, and so different (or are they both just good story tellers?). Anyway their songs can be very poetic, and although not usually too hard to decipher, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an in-depth lyrical breakdown.
As always, an outstanding and entertaining analysis. As for the bird in the box, I just had the wonderful opportunity to exchange a couple of messages with Anton DeLost, the producer of Keep Me Fed (who apart from being a great professional seemed to me a close, humble and kind person, and made me understand why the girls connected so well with him), and who confirmed first hand what I already knew, or strongly suspected: that DPA has a strong opinion on everything, that nothing is done without their approval, and that the label has not forced them to do anything at all. Absolutely everything is the ladies' decision. So that probably means that although the money is inside the cage, the bird may be close by... but outside. And free.
I think your analysis is spot on ... My two cents . I personally think the artwork is exactly like the "new " TW sound ... Over-processed . That's a good thing . A lot of fans don't like the sound of the upcoming album ,and have stated the same . I'll address the sound first . TW as a whole have all signed off on the final outcome of the upcoming album. They were not manipulated by Anton to settle on the final results. Dany's vocals are almost unrecognizable compared to their live sound. But that's exactly what they were going for . They are just expanding their possibilities as Artists to use every tool in the toolbox. And the fans are too quick to put judgement on their vision. TW are only on their fifth album , so way too soon to make a final verdict. In twenty years we can properly discuss this album in their musical catalog. But not now . Also , TW will ALWAYS sound better live simply because of one factor .....LUIS . He is a sound engineer after all ...and during soundcheck he's calling all the shots . Now to the artwork . The artwork ties in with what's inside. I completely agree with you that there are key elements that tie in with each song. I also believe this was planned well . Just like the songs ...over-processed . In a very good way . Because all their other cover artwork is/has been just a simple image. One that really didn't invoke discussion. Almost dull if you prefer. .. Keep Me Fed changes that completely. It encourages the mind to wonder/think/analyze what imagery is in front of them . Especially true while listening to the entirety of the album. Like we used to .... Any every time we stare at it . We have a different opinion of what we're looking at . A personal experience example would be The Ramones debut album titled simply Ramones. To which they were just standing in front of a brick wall . We all just stared endlessly on it from the moment Blitzkrieg Bop started . Stopping only to flip it over to side B . My apologies for the lengthy reply.
Hey Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It is true that their sound is changing (at least the recorded sound), but as you said, the live versions keep with their original vision and we can't judge the full album until we hear it. Of course, they will have my support regardless because I think it is important for artists to grow and experiment to stay passionate about what they do. I heard Automatic Sun (live) for the first time today, and I loved it. Also, like you said, the new artwork is fantastic in that it inspires both thought and discussion. I applaud all they are doing :)
Amazing breakdown as always. So much fun digging into all these details & I’m sure DPA are enjoying all the theories as well. They do love to drop hints & clues (the insta posts re: Pau co-directing the video for ‘Que Mas Quieres’ for example). & the newest song ‘Automatic Sun’ drops on the 5th so hopefully they lyrics for that will shed some more …context… on the album art. 😊
@@psychologyofrock th-cam.com/video/CErNy51fNYU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qv6BPfIN41M4Hwn0. 1hr 15min ish. Though the whole interview is amazing (& for you in particular professionally). The auto-translation does not do well with Pau’s slaglish (but she’s 15-20% english anyway) but it’s enough to get what the conversation is about.
This news is remarkable!! ⚡⚡⚡ Pau in another hat is something to look forward to. Even the cake making experience was a complete success as far as direction was concerned 🤘😜👍 I predict that it's going to be terrific 🔥 ✌️💖🎼
The banquet could also reference to "Don't you tell me?" Where they trash a finer dinner service? We have seen some references to japanese culture in some videos. Like Ale's fan in "More" and Pau's kind of "kawaii" dance on "Sick". Very likely not... but who knows: they do know each other and are going to have a special concert together in Japan 12th of june (which is going to be awesome!! Especially Kanami seems very excited). Which also will give the sisters some exposure.
And to add to this, the album art had me immediately think of BAND-MAID's "Don't you tell me" video, that depicts the maids destroying a banquet/ball for rich people. Given that there are rumours that the girls may or may not have collaborated with BM already, or may in the near future when they go to Japan, I just find all these connections too much to just be a crazy coincidence.
What's so funny is Pau said in a recent Twitch interview that they put very little thought into the photo shoot. It was just a table with food on it and they posed and the picture was taken. I think she said this to get people to chill out about it but whoever the photographer was definitely made this image with intention.
@psychologyofrock I know right!? I was surprised she would try to squash people reading into it. But maybe she read some extreme misinterpretations and wanted people to just calm down lol
Hi Nena I just watched and then just listened to their new song Automatic Sun . It's funky. Love your ideas. Happy April. I liked the pictures of the girls you had
Love your feedback on them. You always give points that we ordinarily don’t consider because of the more prominent obvious dustraction just from the music and lyrjcs.
Just remembered seeing a video from a long time ago with David Bendath that Pau does not like raw fruit and recently she said the same of vegetables. The candlesticks target could be the bowl of strawberries? I really think they spent a lot of time on this album art and it is full of little Easter Eggs.
I will also comment about the age difference, I am a 69 year old man and noticed a lot of older men commenting and at their shows. I have a daughter Dany's age and what I felt soon after discovering The Warning thru the 2015 "Enter Sandman" cover is like a parental pride seeing how hard they work and how much they love playing music. I admire their parents for their high level of commitment to their daughters and I can imagine how proud they must feel. I mostly listened to Classic Rock and Jazz and have recently started discovering Metal but now listen to The Warning daily because their music is so fresh and exciting. I especially like their early work XXIst "Century Blood" is still my favorite album.
Thanks for sharing! I think there are many reasons why people of different generations love their music. I am Gen X and really appreciate their revival of rock music and the passion they put into it. Boomers and Gen X grew up when music was considered a more important part of life than it is now (I have a video about this), so I think the age gap between The Warning and many their fans makes perfect sense :)
I think that the artist or photographer might have had the composition of Da Vinci in his head as he was putting together the elements of the ladies' directions for the lavish dinner party described by you. Anyway, i always love your analyses and am getting curiouser and curiouser about your guitar playing.... Keep rockin' 🤘😎👍 ✌️💖🎼
It is so strange because I just can’t imagine it being intentional, but the parallels are definitely there. You are right, maybe it was in the subconscious of the artist that designed the photograph itself…. I really hope the girls speak on it at some point! Thanks so much for your comment 😊🎸🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock well...I didn't actually say it was his subconscious although I did consider it might have been. Hey, Da Vinci is a helluva of a good model to borrow from just on form and color alone. I agree I don't think The Warning would intentionally mean to even potentially offend those with religious leanings. Love your stuff, thanks for replying. ✌️💖🎼
Sorry, I just reread your quote and indeed I invented the word subconscious there lol :-) I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Very glad you enjoyed the video 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Of course, we could all be over thinking this. Taking a step back, the band are wearing red, the colour of danger, red = a warning... The Warning? The rest could be puns and references to song titles and lyrics in the overall setting of the album title. Because in the internet age, easter eggs, sly references and in-jokes rule.
Hello Nena… This picture represent the relationship between artists and the owners of the music industry. The relationship between music industry owners and artists can be toxic because of the power dynamics at play. Owners often hold the resources and platforms necessary for artists to gain exposure and success, leading some artists to feel pressured to compromise their artistic integrity or well-being in pursuit of fame and financial stability. This can result in artists feeling obligated to comply with industry demands, even if it means sacrificing their values or mental health. In turn, owners may exploit this vulnerability to maximize profits, creating a cycle where artists are dependent on the industry for their livelihood while the industry benefits from their talent and labor. Some artists as long as they are “kept fed” by the industry, they are willing to sacrifice their integrity.
I like the idea of the "suits" representing the music industry; I doubt the Last Supper ideas but its not unreasonable. I think it shows The Warning's response to the industry: Ale has a casual indifference, Pau is taking destructive action, Dany is having her cake & eating it too.
When you showed The Rolling Stones photo I was reminded of the music video The One Thing by INXS. There is a similar feast going on in that video. If anyone is curious about the age thing I am 26 and a big fan of The Warning, the first time I seen them perform was on Ellen. I was reintroduced to the band a few years later on TH-cam.
@@psychologyofrock The feast itself is similar but I don't think the meaning of it is in the same universe of the stones or The Warning. The Warning loves us fans but I feel someday they are going to mess with us ( in good fun of course) and write a " I Am The Walrus" style song that makes no sense at all just to see what we think it means. It will still have great lyrics though, as their music always does.
Over the last few weeks, I have noticed that the band seems to have rebranded their logo into more of a calligraphy font. I wonder how that plays in two things. I haven’t seen any discussion on that yet.
Yes, I noticed that as well. They are using the font in which their name is written on the new album. I totally understand why they would be doing this, but I think they’re old logo is so iconic that I would be afraid to veer from that…. ⚡️
@@psychologyofrock I have a theory that it might be something of the licensing issue. They possibly did not have rights to the font that they had done the original one in this is just speculation though. But, that classical font is very decadent, just like the feast.
Thank you for the great video ! It was very interesting to see what other people get out of the cover. I totally agree on your opinion that the girls didn't reference the last supper for the same reasons as you. I didn't pick up on the blue rose and the skinny pig. As the rose is a spiritual symbol it could symbolize the "divine guiding" that lead them to decide to become musicians and pursue their dreams. Concerning the pig, I like the idea that it could be referencing the haters. Going even further, as the two are so close to each other they may be linked and together symbolize that the girls will continue to follow their guidance and not sell themselves out for the money. More was a great choice as a first single because it hinted at the album title. There may be even more hints there, so More would be another interesting one to analyse especially as the lyrics can't be taken at face value and I feel there's a hidden meaning there too.
Hi Nena! Interesting conversation you started here. I was thinking, why can't it just be a visual metaphor for the album titled “Keep Me Fed” and so we have representational art depicting everyone feasting at an opulent table spread, keeping Fed . 🤔🤘 Sorry I have no imagination.🙂 But if pressed to find meaning beyond the image, it could be the band, seeing as they have created a monster in the fans incessantly asking for “More”; attempts their best to Keep the Fame monster Fed.
I’m guessing that the gentlemen in tuxes are ultimate patrons. What their participation could symbolize is perhaps the participation in the whole journey for supporters on Patreon. Their individual or collective reaction(s) I’m not sure of either. It’s fun to speculate though.
@@psychologyofrock Just to let you know I’m one of the older tenured fans becoming a TWA member at the end of 2018 and, yes, a baby boomer too 😆. I’m not nearly as prolific posting as I was in the past. I go more on quality than quanitity now since there many more now holding onto that portion of the torch which continues to get larger by the day. I’m anticipating a significant uptick surge after June 28th. ERROR had a similar timing with its release and what a booming success that was 👍. Don’t get wrong, I still quite active but I got something personally holding me back currently. There are others who are more inside the TW bubble than me, a few being Friends, so it compensates (offsets) in the meantime. Keep up your insight analysis’ and look forward to the next one. Make a reservation for one when KMF comes out. ⚠️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Welp! Now that the official video for Que Mas Quieres is out, we have more information with which to interpret this cover. I KNEW that rose had to be significant! ;)
Thank you for using my comment . . With regards to Dany . . She does want to get married and have a family . . In this case . . With Pau there like that as if to say " you cant have your cake and eat it too " . Maybe Dany turned down marriage for the band. . ?? For me . The overall take i get is that this is a banquet of the music industry and The Warning are disrupting the "usuall way" things are done . Thanks again . Till next time . Take care . Bye from New Zealand 💐🍷🤟🇳🇿twa
I have seen most of the things my self but I did not make the reference with the last supper, because as already said, it could alienate some fans. Dany engulfed in eating a wedding cake can have several meanings. One is That during a interview nearly two years ago, the girls got the question if there where any boy friends, and Dany quickly answered that she "was married to a band!" Maby she is reaping the fruits of this marriage. She is enjoying it! This album cover is meant to be interpreted and make peoples mind go crazy, much like most of the songs they write. There is always room for interpretation. And something I have noticed is they have plenty of Easter eggs, like always.
Did you happen to notice the expressions and the eye lines of the "Execs"... from left to right: 1 (perhaps, the youngest) -> Pau with concern and a bit of surprise, 2 -> the Champaign Glass (or the camera) with disgust for the wastefulness, 3 -> Pau with Fear having never seen this behavior before, 4 (perhaps, the elder)-> Pau with expectation (will this display be something new that he hasn't seen before?), 5 -> Pau with contemplation of how she might be controlled or directed, 6 (the full glass) -> the Cake with a bit of incredulousness "Hey, you are ruining the party!" The ladies eyes also show some intent. Ale, as you said, seems to be looking beyond the current scene but perhaps to her own desire somewhere off camera and seems to be there only in loyal support of her sisters... Tossing the Champaign as something unwanted. Dani on the other hand seems to relish the idea of having her cake... and taking that bite, while Pau is staring straight down at that flat pig aiming to make it flatter with her POWer. Having just seen the Blue Rose in their latest music video Que Mas Quieres (What else/more do you want?)... without spoiling anything, it is a very significant item. Perhaps using the symbol as a ploy to gain the confidence of someone in order to get something otherwise unattainable.
Not about the cover but...there’s mathematical constant called Pi that we use to solve equations, mostly dealing with circles. There’s another constant we can use to solve the same things called Tau. Tau is 2 times Pi. Last week was National Pi Day. Because Pi is 3.14 (March 14th). You’re supposed to eat pie on Pi Day. Tau is 6.28 (3.14 *2). Making June 28th National Tau Day. You are supposed to two pieces of pie on Tau Day. The new Warning album releases on June 28th (Tau Day), and it’s called “Keep me Fed.” Coincidence? ….Probably, but interesting none the less.
We need your help to understand the lyrics to The Warning's latest song releasing tomorrow (4/5/24) Automatic Sun. It has the lyrics "give me your psychosmatic love" I'm just ??? puzzled. Seems right up your "alley"
Let me kill the general z vs gen x..on their page they have the cover ..all the names are on there .The older folks are lava,their producer etc.When you click on it names appear as well as theirs ..
Exactly. They're too chill to have that mentality especially considering the vid that started it all for them, their cover of Enter Sandman was made for grandparents/relatives.
Despite the artist depiction of The Last Supper, Passover is a lavish feast with multiple glasses of wine and multiple courses of food (one between each required glass of wine, and we're not talking about the extra optional glasses of wine). The Passover Seder lasts until late at night because it takes that long to eat and drink everything. Even if you rush everything and sip the wine instead of drinking full glasses, it is not a quick dinner. Also, if you look at Keep Me Fed and The Last Supper, Ale's position and attitude seems to mirror that of the person to Jesus's left. Also, success is a kind of cage. They are becoming more successful and that means a lot of people are financially depending on them to keep making records/keep performing. Since they do care about their support team, this must be a pressure on them. Other young up-and-coming music industry artists have talked about this.
I really do agree. Although, after reading everyone's comments and seeing the parallels, I completely understand why so many people made this connection. I do believe, however, that it was no intentional.
For me the cover has connections to religious paintings but not The Last Supper but Seven Sins: Gluttony. The sisters are both taking part and disrupting the feast. This may represent exactly you discovered in the Consume lyrics. Although I would not completely reject that it is also related to the Last Supper but in reverse: instead of poor disciples of Jesus we see rich people. And here also the sisters are both participating and protesting at the same time. So no blasphemy at all, but still a religious connotation (I say that as their fellow Catholic church member). By the way, the pose Pau takes with the candle holder may be directly connected to the video of Que Mas Quieres (which Pau directed). It would mean that we see her exactly at the moment of the killing which happens off screen in the video (even as the rest of the picture ids not connected to it). A kind of Easter egg. The blue rose is another allusion to the video. I write this with the hindsight of knowing the rest of the album. So kudos to you for guessing so much while knowing only three songs.
I stand by the last supper interpretation. The last supper depicts the moment the disciples learn of the fact that one of them betrayed christ. The old men in formal wear represent the patriarchy/the system, and Pau is in the centre smashing the patriarchy. They've dealt with these themes before in disciple.
Not mine, I stole this from The Warning USA FB group. I hope David is okay with it. It's about the Blue Rose on the cover. "With the anticipating show of Band-Maid with The Warning in Japan, there was speculation that maybe they had done some sort of collaboration together. Has anyone noticed the Blue Rose on The Warning new album cover art? Well Siaki, the lead singer always wears a Blue Rose during her performances. Hmmmmm?"
That would be amazing - someone else made this connection as well, I think that would be the ultimate collaboration if that ends up being true! Thank you so much for sharing! ⚡️
A ring in the wedding cake that Daniela is getting ready to eat. Above is Paulina getting ready to strike Daniela. I'm not sure if that means anything, but I posted a comment several years ago that the girls' only weakness is one of the girls finding romance. If you look at the breakup of many bands, is the introduction of a drama producing boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't follow the lives of The Warning, so I don't know if any of the girls have a relationship with someone. In one vlog, Alejandra mentioned wanting a boyfriend, and Paulina said NO. She's happy being single. Does Daniela have a boyfriend? Is it serious? It could mean nothing at all, too.
Someone mentioned that it wasn't actually a ring, and it looks like something that is more oblong (I can no longer find the comment), but interesting symbolism if it is! Great comment! :)
Down here in the delta it can mean hard times if hog ain't fat. Theres an old saying here called being poor as Job's turkey ,the man thst God allowed Satan to take away all from him,but he didnt curse God.and God restored him twofold
Is Dani getting married?she started on the wedding cake.Pau is angry(look's like she's gonna attack Dani)3 candles in the back(one of them is soon burned out) Can this meen the end of The Warning? I hope not
I somehow find this exercise of finding meaning behind the picture tough. You go from funny playful meaning to dark and disturbing. I personally don't need more crap floating around up there.
I always find it fascinating how we can all look at the same piece of art and derive completely different meanings. I’m glad people are beginning to care about art again…it was definitely in decline for awhile
I analyze for a living and really enjoy looking deeper into pieces of art, especially when they are music related. I don't think I'm alone in finding enjoyment in doing so. :) And yes, the band is amazing!
And I can't believe that you're narrow-minded enough to not even take the time to consider that, the images depicted in the artwork might have some interesting significance, both individually and collectively, and it's amusing and entertaining to analyze, discuss and even politely debate. I'm guessing that you're probably a somewhat boring individual. Have a mediocre evening or day or whatever. 😁
I respectfully disagree. Pau was awarded Drumeo's 2023 Rock Drummer of the year, and Dany and Ale are incredible musicians as well - definitely not just basic…
@@psychologyofrock oh i see,, you are a fan of the warning and you also reacted to japanese female bands,, best drummer my ass,,lol.. She didnt even have the skills of japanese female drummers..what a joke that is,, do you think she is better than HARUNA of lovebites, AKANE of bandmaid, or MURATA TAMU of nemophila????.. " best drummer" ?? What a fckng joke..LMFAO..

Miss Nena I like your youtube,psychology Always interested me,as I noticed how David Lee and Paul S by themselves could make an audience feel and react and release. I'm new,but maybe like a topic was how others, fans,felt when the fave version of a group lost members over stuff other than death or sickness.cos when Peter and Ace left KISS I was bummed long time.thanks.
The depth that this band shows is definitely something needed in rock these days. Catchy songs with lots of lyrical depth. The more you dig, the more you discover.
Yes! Well said! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
I want to thank you Nena for providing a place on You Tube that emphasizes discussion of the analysis, and interpretation of music, and music videos. You have created a fresh, and unique channel amongst the same old music reaction channels!
Thank you so much for being a part of it! I’m so happy to connect with other people that share my passion for music. Thanks for being here! 😊⚡️
I really enjoyed this, I bet The Warning would really get a kick out of it too.
😊⚡️🤘🏻♥️
This has been fun. Has there ever been this kind of intense discussion about an album even before it came out? Not that I know of. I remember how fans (endlessly) analyzed Dylan & the Beatles, but that was afterwards.
This is a great marketing move. How calculated is it? And, if the album doesn't meet expectations, will it blow up in the band's faces? Will it be worth the wait? I expect it will be. These ladies have already proven that they know what they're doing.
lol endless albums have been analyzed before and after. This is not a new thing.
I think in the past, we did not actually get to see the album covers before they came out, so we had to have the discussion afterwards. But I do agree that the level of interest they have been able to gain is something pretty extraordinary! :)
As any thoughtful artist the sisters appreciate and enjoy how an artistic proposition generate interpretation AND CHANGE to audiences.
Regardless of THE meaning if that is ever possible, we all benefited from uncover the clues life leave us in order to comprehend purpose and ultimately happiness in this journey.
Greetings from México and thanks again ❤️🇲🇽
Beautifully said! Thank you for watching! :)
Thanks for the mention in your analysis .I love it when a band goes in to so much thought provoking questions to be answered in situations like this .Now where is my magnifying glass ? Lol.
Lol! So glad you enjoyed! I can’t wait until we see a higher resolution depiction of this beautiful album cover! 😊🤘🏻⚡️♥️
We need more of these kind of lore videos, they’re super interesting to me. I’ve been thinking that this is going to be a concept album for a while but I’m still not certain because the band has made no mention of this yet. Super excited for June 28th!
That would be amazing, but I guess we will have to wait to see! 😊🤘🏻⚡️♥️
Thanks for the update on the artwork. You don't even want to know how many hours I've spent over the years, but especially when younger, examining every minute detail of album covers. I never thought it was any reference to the last supper, but thought about the Beggar's Banquet art. The have actually been a number of album covers with a similar banquet table spread.

We're just going to have to hear the songs before knowing. We may even see interesting connections that the band themselves hadn't thought of. That happens all the time.
Yes! I absolutely agree, especially because many of the fans are analytical and philosophical themselves 😊⚡️🤘🏻
They have said in an interview that there is more in the art that ties to songs not yet released. I can't wait to put it all together.
Interesting! Was that in an interview? 😊⚡️
I'll ask around and see if anyone remembers if that's where they said it for sure.
Thanks so much!
All of this is what interests me so much about them, everything they do is open to interpretation - nothing more absorbing than a puzzle! Right off to look at that cover again 😂
I really do appreciate bands that offer food for thought. The Warning never disappoints! 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Thank you for showing my comment in the "Da Vinci section"! it was a very appreciated surprise! 🎩
♥️♥️♥️
The pig was beaten flat by Pau standing over it.
😂😂😂
The album isn't out yet but I already love it thanks to the many analysis out there by us, fans. I think the girls had that on mind while planning the releasing schelude (since More) and with every new single, the theories enhance and fans' minds go into turmoil! Loved the video, Nena! 🤘🏼❤️
Great thoughts, Matt! And I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! 😊⚡️🤘🏻♥️
Another great reaction and analysis video, Nena!
I could be wrong but, based on a recent Spanish- language interview with Pau that I watched yesterday, I believe that she MIGHT have been the primary creative mind behind the concept and creation of the art for this album cover.
I say that because, in the interview, she revealed that she is producing, directing and even acting in the soon-to-be-recorded official music video for "Que' Mas Queres", the new Spanish song from the upcoming fourth album.
Most of us know that, basically, she's been the initial driving force behind the band's songwriting over the years. She has said that she sees her song and lyrical ideas as pictures in her mind for which she will often lay out in physical storyboards.
So, based on that, and saying in the interview that she's getting involved in additional areas of the creative process of and for the band, it wouldn't surprise me at all if that includes this cover art.
Lastly, I note that Pau is the dominant, aggressive figure and focal point in the center of this artwork. AND, she is armed and about to engage in an act of violence. The burning question is, who or what is actually her target and why? Hmmm . . .
Hey Gregory! I think it is amazing that Pau is directly involved with the new video. I can't wait to see it! She has such an incredible imagination! :)
Thank you for covering The Warning. Your videos are informative and entertaining. Well done! ⚡⚡⚡
So glad to hear! They give so much quality material to analyze! 😊⚡️🤘🏻♥️
I love this analysis
So glad to hear that, Nico! :)
The girls love to send messages to their fans. Plus surprises The Warning Army.
Is this album a continuation of Error??
No
Is the artwork spoofing The Last Supper??
No
Why?? Before the band goes on stage. They do that huddle with their hands in the middle with their crew & goes one two three Warning. Just before Ale put her hand in the middle. She does a fast blessings of the cross (father son holy spirit). She wouldn't be part of mocking the last supper.
*So the last supper is out.*
My theory is simply a dig at Corporatism. The title of the songs are all on the cover. The dress men represent conglomerates. With The Warning with a *"CORPORATE LOOKING LOGO"* (stale boring looking). With the band destroying the conglomerate dinner party.
With Pau in the middle. Like she is on stage. Being on the table destroying the dinner. She's known for her *"SCREAM OF DESTRUCTION"* on Evolve.
With Ale to Pau's right (our left). She's more elegant in her style. She'll spill wine on you. Then walk away.
Dany to Pau's left (our right). She's more happy with the little things like a donut. Than with the corporate indulgence.
To me. The cover art is called *QUÉ MÁS QUIERES.. ("WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?")*
Keep Me Fed.
Hi Kevin! Love your interpretations, thanks so much for sharing!
I got quoted!. I agree the banquet scene has a lot more in common with The Stones', Beggars Banquet. In art of the Renaissance we see similar kinds of decadent banquet scenes which The Stone's and TW's album art is directly reminiscent of.
Yes! I am not a huge fan of the RS (I don't dislike them, I'm just not well versed) and had actually never seen this artwork. Lots of similarities and a similar feel! :)
Fantastic video! Merci!
So glad you enjoyed, Don! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Great analysis! I certainly did not expect to see my comment as part of an analysis video. I’ll be more careful next time. 😂 Anyway thanks for including the community as part of the discussion.❤ Looking forward to more song analysis videos.
Of course! You guys have so many insightful things to add to the conversation! :) What song would you like to see next?
@@psychologyofrock I don’t recall if you have ever mentioned Nightwish. They and The Warning are my favorite bands, and so different (or are they both just good story tellers?). Anyway their songs can be very poetic, and although not usually too hard to decipher, I don’t believe I’ve ever seen an in-depth lyrical breakdown.
As always, an outstanding and entertaining analysis.
As for the bird in the box, I just had the wonderful opportunity to exchange a couple of messages with Anton DeLost, the producer of Keep Me Fed (who apart from being a great professional seemed to me a close, humble and kind person, and made me understand why the girls connected so well with him), and who confirmed first hand what I already knew, or strongly suspected: that DPA has a strong opinion on everything, that nothing is done without their approval, and that the label has not forced them to do anything at all. Absolutely everything is the ladies' decision.
So that probably means that although the money is inside the cage, the bird may be close by... but outside. And free.
Great to hear! ♥️🤘🏻😊
I think your analysis is spot on ...
My two cents .
I personally think the artwork is exactly like the "new " TW sound ... Over-processed . That's a good thing . A lot of fans don't like the sound of the upcoming album ,and have stated the same .
I'll address the sound first .
TW as a whole have all signed off on the final outcome of the upcoming album. They were not manipulated by Anton to settle on the final results. Dany's vocals are almost unrecognizable compared to their live sound. But that's exactly what they were going for . They are just expanding their possibilities as Artists to use every tool in the toolbox.
And the fans are too quick to put judgement on their vision. TW are only on their fifth album , so way too soon to make a final verdict.
In twenty years we can properly discuss this album in their musical catalog. But not now .
Also , TW will ALWAYS sound better live simply because of one factor .....LUIS .
He is a sound engineer after all ...and during soundcheck he's calling all the shots .
Now to the artwork .
The artwork ties in with what's inside. I completely agree with you that there are key elements that tie in with each song.
I also believe this was planned well . Just like the songs ...over-processed . In a very good way .
Because all their other cover artwork is/has been just a simple image. One that really didn't invoke discussion. Almost dull if you prefer. ..
Keep Me Fed changes that completely. It encourages the mind to wonder/think/analyze what imagery is in front of them . Especially true while listening to the entirety of the album. Like we used to ....
Any every time we stare at it . We have a different opinion of what we're looking at .
A personal experience example would be The Ramones debut album titled simply Ramones. To which they were just standing in front of a brick wall . We all just stared endlessly on it from the moment Blitzkrieg Bop started . Stopping only to flip it over to side B .
My apologies for the lengthy reply.
Hey Jeff! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! It is true that their sound is changing (at least the recorded sound), but as you said, the live versions keep with their original vision and we can't judge the full album until we hear it. Of course, they will have my support regardless because I think it is important for artists to grow and experiment to stay passionate about what they do. I heard Automatic Sun (live) for the first time today, and I loved it. Also, like you said, the new artwork is fantastic in that it inspires both thought and discussion. I applaud all they are doing :)
Amazing breakdown as always. So much fun digging into all these details & I’m sure DPA are enjoying all the theories as well. They do love to drop hints & clues (the insta posts re: Pau co-directing the video for ‘Que Mas Quieres’ for example).
& the newest song ‘Automatic Sun’ drops on the 5th so hopefully they lyrics for that will shed some more …context… on the album art. 😊
I hadn’t heard Pau was co-directing! That is amazing! Hope we don’t have to wait too long for the video!!! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock th-cam.com/video/CErNy51fNYU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qv6BPfIN41M4Hwn0. 1hr 15min ish. Though the whole interview is amazing (& for you in particular professionally). The auto-translation does not do well with Pau’s slaglish (but she’s 15-20% english anyway) but it’s enough to get what the conversation is about.
This news is remarkable!! ⚡⚡⚡
Pau in another hat is something to look forward to. Even the cake making experience was a complete success as far as direction was concerned 🤘😜👍
I predict that it's going to be terrific 🔥
✌️💖🎼
I second that!
Best channel ever! 🤘🏻
Thanks so much! I thought you guys had some amazing insight on the last video! ⚡️😊🤘🏻
KMF is another masterpiece and will be a huge sucess for TW!!
The artwork is beyond amazing !
Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
Yes!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Great analysis and theories. Liked it
So glad you enjoyed it! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
I often find myself still looking at this cover,and trying to analyze it.
Me too, I think it’s phenomenal! 😊🤘🏻
Saiki from BAND-MAID wears a blue rose on her head band.
Very true! Definitely hadn’t considered that!
The banquet could also reference to "Don't you tell me?" Where they trash a finer dinner service? We have seen some references to japanese culture in some videos. Like Ale's fan in "More" and Pau's kind of "kawaii" dance on "Sick".
Very likely not... but who knows: they do know each other and are going to have a special concert together in Japan 12th of june (which is going to be awesome!! Especially Kanami seems very excited). Which also will give the sisters some exposure.
And to add to this, the album art had me immediately think of BAND-MAID's "Don't you tell me" video, that depicts the maids destroying a banquet/ball for rich people. Given that there are rumours that the girls may or may not have collaborated with BM already, or may in the near future when they go to Japan, I just find all these connections too much to just be a crazy coincidence.
What's so funny is Pau said in a recent Twitch interview that they put very little thought into the photo shoot. It was just a table with food on it and they posed and the picture was taken. I think she said this to get people to chill out about it but whoever the photographer was definitely made this image with intention.
I find that so surprising to hear!
@psychologyofrock I know right!? I was surprised she would try to squash people reading into it. But maybe she read some extreme misinterpretations and wanted people to just calm down lol
😂
Hi Nena I just watched and then just listened to their new song Automatic Sun . It's funky. Love your ideas. Happy April. I liked the pictures of the girls you had
I loved it! I absolutely can’t wait to hear the studio version! Very glad you enjoyed the video 💛⚡️😊
Love your feedback on them. You always give points that we ordinarily don’t consider because of the more prominent obvious dustraction just from the music and lyrjcs.
So happy you are enjoying the channel! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Thanks!
Thank you so much, my friend! So glad you enjoyed! 😊⚡️🤘🏻♥️
Just remembered seeing a video from a long time ago with David Bendath that Pau does not like raw fruit and recently she said the same of vegetables. The candlesticks target could be the bowl of strawberries? I really think they spent a lot of time on this album art and it is full of little Easter Eggs.
Lol, that would be funny :)
I will also comment about the age difference, I am a 69 year old man and noticed a lot of older men commenting and at their shows. I have a daughter Dany's age and what I felt soon after discovering The Warning thru the 2015 "Enter Sandman" cover is like a parental pride seeing how hard they work and how much they love playing music. I admire their parents for their high level of commitment to their daughters and I can imagine how proud they must feel. I mostly listened to Classic Rock and Jazz and have recently started discovering Metal but now listen to The Warning daily because their music is so fresh and exciting. I especially like their early work XXIst "Century Blood" is still my favorite album.
Thanks for sharing! I think there are many reasons why people of different generations love their music. I am Gen X and really appreciate their revival of rock music and the passion they put into it. Boomers and Gen X grew up when music was considered a more important part of life than it is now (I have a video about this), so I think the age gap between The Warning and many their fans makes perfect sense :)
Cherries for Ale, Strawberries for Pau and Donuts for Dany, but the black candle?
Not sure - I hadn’t noticed it 😊⚡️
I think that the artist or photographer might have had the composition of Da Vinci in his head as he was putting together the elements of the ladies' directions for the lavish dinner party described by you.
Anyway, i always love your analyses and am getting curiouser and curiouser about your guitar playing.... Keep rockin' 🤘😎👍
✌️💖🎼
It is so strange because I just can’t imagine it being intentional, but the parallels are definitely there. You are right, maybe it was in the subconscious of the artist that designed the photograph itself…. I really hope the girls speak on it at some point! Thanks so much for your comment 😊🎸🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock well...I didn't actually say it was his subconscious although I did consider it might have been. Hey, Da Vinci is a helluva of a good model to borrow from just on form and color alone. I agree I don't think The Warning would intentionally mean to even potentially offend those with religious leanings.
Love your stuff, thanks for replying.
✌️💖🎼
Sorry, I just reread your quote and indeed I invented the word subconscious there lol :-) I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! Very glad you enjoyed the video 😊🤘🏻⚡️
Of course, we could all be over thinking this. Taking a step back, the band are wearing red, the colour of danger, red = a warning... The Warning? The rest could be puns and references to song titles and lyrics in the overall setting of the album title. Because in the internet age, easter eggs, sly references and in-jokes rule.
Red makes perfect sense as a warning from The Warning :) I'm sure there are plenty of inside jokes in the cover as well...
Hello Nena…
This picture represent the relationship between artists and the owners of the music industry.
The relationship between music industry owners and artists can be toxic because of the power dynamics at play. Owners often hold the resources and platforms necessary for artists to gain exposure and success, leading some artists to feel pressured to compromise their artistic integrity or well-being in pursuit of fame and financial stability. This can result in artists feeling obligated to comply with industry demands, even if it means sacrificing their values or mental health. In turn, owners may exploit this vulnerability to maximize profits, creating a cycle where artists are dependent on the industry for their livelihood while the industry benefits from their talent and labor.
Some artists as long as they are “kept fed” by the industry, they are willing to sacrifice their integrity.
"Welcome to the Machine" Pink Floyd
@@lequ1152 👍🏼
Very well said. I hope The Warning continues to be able to resist this type of pressure... :)
@@psychologyofrock I think they will stay true to themselves and grounded! That’s why I love them.
♥️♥️♥️
I like the idea of the "suits" representing the music industry; I doubt the Last Supper ideas but its not unreasonable. I think it shows The Warning's response to the industry: Ale has a casual indifference, Pau is taking destructive action, Dany is having her cake & eating it too.
Well said, Jim! 😊⚡️♥️
When you showed The Rolling Stones photo I was reminded of the music video The One Thing by INXS. There is a similar feast going on in that video. If anyone is curious about the age thing I am 26 and a big fan of The Warning, the first time I seen them perform was on Ellen. I was reintroduced to the band a few years later on TH-cam.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve never seen that video 😊⚡️
@@psychologyofrock The feast itself is similar but I don't think the meaning of it is in the same universe of the stones or The Warning. The Warning loves us fans but I feel someday they are going to mess with us ( in good fun of course) and write a " I Am The Walrus" style song that makes no sense at all just to see what we think it means. It will still have great lyrics though, as their music always does.
that would be hilarious!
Nena you Rock, I love your concepts for videos, keep it going girl !
Thank so much! Any requests? 😊🤘🏻
Led Zeps "in through the out", both cover and the grooves within that sleeve. @@psychologyofrock
would love to, I'm a huge fan
I just knew you are a cellar of fine vino @@psychologyofrock 🍷
Lol 😊
Over the last few weeks, I have noticed that the band seems to have rebranded their logo into more of a calligraphy font. I wonder how that plays in two things. I haven’t seen any discussion on that yet.
Yes, I noticed that as well. They are using the font in which their name is written on the new album. I totally understand why they would be doing this, but I think they’re old logo is so iconic that I would be afraid to veer from that…. ⚡️
@@psychologyofrock I have a theory that it might be something of the licensing issue. They possibly did not have rights to the font that they had done the original one in this is just speculation though. But, that classical font is very decadent, just like the feast.
That would be terrible if that were the case! I hope not, but you never know! I just think the old logo is absolutely perfect for them 😊🤘🏻⚡️
@@psychologyofrock I agree 😄
I think we will have to wait until all songs are released to relate them to this artwork, which surely includes a link to each one of them.
Can’t wait! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Thank you for the great video ! It was very interesting to see what other people get out of the cover.
I totally agree on your opinion that the girls didn't reference the last supper for the same reasons as you.
I didn't pick up on the blue rose and the skinny pig. As the rose is a spiritual symbol it could symbolize the "divine guiding" that lead them to decide to become musicians and pursue their dreams. Concerning the pig, I like the idea that it could be referencing the haters. Going even further, as the two are so close to each other they may be linked and together symbolize that the girls will continue to follow their guidance and not sell themselves out for the money.
More was a great choice as a first single because it hinted at the album title. There may be even more hints there, so More would be another interesting one to analyse especially as the lyrics can't be taken at face value and I feel there's a hidden meaning there too.
Lots of great thoughts here, Denis, thank you! I look forward to the further hints they give us! :)
@@psychologyofrock Thank you ! So do I !
😊⚡️
@@psychologyofrock 🤗🤗🤗
This was very enjoyable
Very happy to hear that, Stephen! 😊🤘🏻

Happy to hear, Mikey! 😊 And glad you like the shirt 🖤!
Hi Nena! Interesting conversation you started here. I was thinking, why can't it just be a visual metaphor for the album titled “Keep Me Fed” and so we have representational art depicting everyone feasting at an opulent table spread, keeping Fed . 🤔🤘 Sorry I have no imagination.🙂
But if pressed to find meaning beyond the image, it could be the band, seeing as they have created a monster in the fans incessantly asking for “More”; attempts their best to Keep the Fame monster Fed.
Interesting thoughts here! I can't imagine the pressure of wanting to please everyone and keep them satisfied.
I’m guessing that the gentlemen in tuxes are ultimate patrons. What their participation could symbolize is perhaps the participation in the whole journey for supporters on Patreon. Their individual or collective reaction(s) I’m not sure of either. It’s fun to speculate though.
interesting thought, Christopher!
Like with your first one, I shared this one with most if 😊not all of the major Fan Groups in Facebook. ⚠️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Appreciate it, my friend! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
@@psychologyofrock Just to let you know I’m one of the older tenured fans becoming a TWA member at the end of 2018 and, yes, a baby boomer too 😆. I’m not nearly as prolific posting as I was in the past. I go more on quality than quanitity now since there many more now holding onto that portion of the torch which continues to get larger by the day. I’m anticipating a significant uptick surge after June 28th. ERROR had a similar timing with its release and what a booming success that was 👍. Don’t get wrong, I still quite active but I got something personally holding me back currently. There are others who are more inside the TW bubble than me, a few being Friends, so it compensates (offsets) in the meantime. Keep up your insight analysis’ and look forward to the next one. Make a reservation for one when KMF comes out. ⚠️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Absolutely! I'm so curious to hear the new album - so far it has sounded very different from the last so it will be interesting to hear! :)
It reminds of BAND-MAIDs MV for "Don't You Tell Me".
Can you believe they’ll finally be playing together? It would be amazing to see that show! ⚡️🖤
Interesting analysis, as usual.
P.S. Review Ghost or Sabaton next!
Great suggestions! 😊
This album is going to be the epic breakout this band deserves.
They are definitely beginning to receive some very well deserved recognition! ♥️⚡️😊🤘🏻
I hope so. Their record _Error_ is a masterpiece imhop.
Yes! One of my favorite records of all time. ⚡️
Welp! Now that the official video for Que Mas Quieres is out, we have more information with which to interpret this cover. I KNEW that rose had to be significant! ;)
Yes! I wonder if the cover has hints about all the songs 😊⚡️
Thank you for using my comment . .
With regards to Dany . . She does want to get married and have a family . . In this case . . With Pau there like that as if to say
" you cant have your cake and eat it too "
. Maybe Dany turned down marriage for the band. . ??
For me . The overall take i get is that this is a banquet of the music industry and The Warning are disrupting the "usuall way" things are done .
Thanks again . Till next time . Take care .
Bye from New Zealand 💐🍷🤟🇳🇿twa
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Roger! I appreciate you being here!
I have seen most of the things my self but I did not make the reference with the last supper, because as already said, it could alienate some fans. Dany engulfed in eating a wedding cake can have several meanings. One is That during a interview nearly two years ago, the girls got the question if there where any boy friends, and Dany quickly answered that she "was married to a band!" Maby she is reaping the fruits of this marriage. She is enjoying it! This album cover is meant to be interpreted and make peoples mind go crazy, much like most of the songs they write. There is always room for interpretation. And something I have noticed is they have plenty of Easter eggs, like always.
"Married to the band" makes perfect sense! I had not thought of that. I'm just glad they appear happy and fulfilled with their musical careers :)
Could the blue rose be a call out to Band-Maid? They are rumored to have collaborated on a song together for this album.
I just saw that myself! I have no idea, but that would be awesome! ⚡️
❤
😊♥️⚡️
Did you happen to notice the expressions and the eye lines of the "Execs"... from left to right: 1 (perhaps, the youngest) -> Pau with concern and a bit of surprise, 2 -> the Champaign Glass (or the camera) with disgust for the wastefulness, 3 -> Pau with Fear having never seen this behavior before, 4 (perhaps, the elder)-> Pau with expectation (will this display be something new that he hasn't seen before?), 5 -> Pau with contemplation of how she might be controlled or directed, 6 (the full glass) -> the Cake with a bit of incredulousness "Hey, you are ruining the party!"
The ladies eyes also show some intent. Ale, as you said, seems to be looking beyond the current scene but perhaps to her own desire somewhere off camera and seems to be there only in loyal support of her sisters... Tossing the Champaign as something unwanted. Dani on the other hand seems to relish the idea of having her cake... and taking that bite, while Pau is staring straight down at that flat pig aiming to make it flatter with her POWer.
Having just seen the Blue Rose in their latest music video Que Mas Quieres (What else/more do you want?)... without spoiling anything, it is a very significant item. Perhaps using the symbol as a ploy to gain the confidence of someone in order to get something otherwise unattainable.
Great theories! 😊💙🤘🏻
I think that they are just doing their best to remain themselves in an industry known to change artists into loving money.
Well said, Ronald! 😊⚡️
Not about the cover but...there’s mathematical constant called Pi that we use to solve equations, mostly dealing with circles. There’s another constant we can use to solve the same things called Tau. Tau is 2 times Pi.
Last week was National Pi Day. Because Pi is 3.14 (March 14th). You’re supposed to eat pie on Pi Day.
Tau is 6.28 (3.14 *2). Making June 28th National Tau Day. You are supposed to two pieces of pie on Tau Day.
The new Warning album releases on June 28th (Tau Day), and it’s called “Keep me Fed.”
Coincidence?
….Probably, but interesting none the less.
Interesting!
We need your help to understand the lyrics to The Warning's latest song releasing tomorrow (4/5/24) Automatic Sun. It has the lyrics "give me your psychosmatic love" I'm just ??? puzzled. Seems right up your "alley"
I will definitely be doing an analysis as soon as possible! Are the lyrics out yet or do we have to wait until the release of the song? 😊🤘🏻
Let me kill the general z vs gen x..on their page they have the cover ..all the names are on there .The older folks are lava,their producer etc.When you click on it names appear as well as theirs ..
😊⚡️
Exactly. They're too chill to have that mentality especially considering the vid that started it all for them, their cover of Enter Sandman was made for grandparents/relatives.
Despite the artist depiction of The Last Supper, Passover is a lavish feast with multiple glasses of wine and multiple courses of food (one between each required glass of wine, and we're not talking about the extra optional glasses of wine). The Passover Seder lasts until late at night because it takes that long to eat and drink everything. Even if you rush everything and sip the wine instead of drinking full glasses, it is not a quick dinner. Also, if you look at Keep Me Fed and The Last Supper, Ale's position and attitude seems to mirror that of the person to Jesus's left. Also, success is a kind of cage. They are becoming more successful and that means a lot of people are financially depending on them to keep making records/keep performing. Since they do care about their support team, this must be a pressure on them. Other young up-and-coming music industry artists have talked about this.
Thanks for sharing, Keith! 😊⚡️
Yes, this is nothing to do with the biblical event. The ladies are Catholic and try to focus on the music without being sacreligious.
I really do agree. Although, after reading everyone's comments and seeing the parallels, I completely understand why so many people made this connection. I do believe, however, that it was no intentional.
For me the cover has connections to religious paintings but not The Last Supper but Seven Sins: Gluttony. The sisters are both taking part and disrupting the feast. This may represent exactly you discovered in the Consume lyrics. Although I would not completely reject that it is also related to the Last Supper but in reverse: instead of poor disciples of Jesus we see rich people. And here also the sisters are both participating and protesting at the same time. So no blasphemy at all, but still a religious connotation (I say that as their fellow Catholic church member).
By the way, the pose Pau takes with the candle holder may be directly connected to the video of Que Mas Quieres (which Pau directed). It would mean that we see her exactly at the moment of the killing which happens off screen in the video (even as the rest of the picture ids not connected to it). A kind of Easter egg. The blue rose is another allusion to the video.
I write this with the hindsight of knowing the rest of the album. So kudos to you for guessing so much while knowing only three songs.
DECADAS QUE NO HABIA OIDO HABLAR DEL ARTE DE UNA PORTADA DE LP...
😊 The Warning makes it possible ⚡️
After that, there's nothing to do but ask the girls, right?🤣
Lol yes!
The album cover is an open threat to all mankind. It is Sgt. Pepper all over again, GAME OVER MAN. GAME OVER
Wait to you hear Automatic Sun
I loooooved it! 😊⚡️🤘🏻
Hi Nena
I found spiritual growth from this song all thru my 9 years of recovery.
Blind Melon...
"Change"
I would like to hear your thoughts some day.
I haven’t heard it! I’ll have to look it up! 😊🤘🏻
The men in suits made me think of Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine"
Good call 😊
Other bands have done this too.
This type of artwork? 😊
One band did this but I can’t think of the name ..like 6 years ago .I will search this..
I stand by the last supper interpretation. The last supper depicts the moment the disciples learn of the fact that one of them betrayed christ. The old men in formal wear represent the patriarchy/the system, and Pau is in the centre smashing the patriarchy. They've dealt with these themes before in disciple.
Interesting theory, Clayton! I appreciate you sharing your perspective 😊⚡️🤘🏻
🤟😘🤟
Thanks so much for watching :)
@@psychologyofrock 💗
Not mine, I stole this from The Warning USA FB group. I hope David is okay with it. It's about the Blue Rose on the cover.
"With the anticipating show of Band-Maid with The Warning in Japan, there was speculation that maybe they had done some sort of collaboration together. Has anyone noticed the Blue Rose on The Warning new album cover art? Well Siaki, the lead singer always wears a Blue Rose during her performances. Hmmmmm?"
That would be amazing - someone else made this connection as well, I think that would be the ultimate collaboration if that ends up being true! Thank you so much for sharing! ⚡️
where my AOE theorist at ? we back
A ring in the wedding cake that Daniela is getting ready to eat. Above is Paulina getting ready to strike Daniela. I'm not sure if that means anything, but I posted a comment several years ago that the girls' only weakness is one of the girls finding romance. If you look at the breakup of many bands, is the introduction of a drama producing boyfriend/girlfriend. I don't follow the lives of The Warning, so I don't know if any of the girls have a relationship with someone. In one vlog, Alejandra mentioned wanting a boyfriend, and Paulina said NO. She's happy being single. Does Daniela have a boyfriend? Is it serious? It could mean nothing at all, too.
Someone mentioned that it wasn't actually a ring, and it looks like something that is more oblong (I can no longer find the comment), but interesting symbolism if it is! Great comment! :)
Only a few songs of the album have been released. Isn't this stuff a bit premature?
absolutely! That's why it is only theories, and just for fun :)
Down here in the delta it can mean hard times if hog ain't fat. Theres an old saying here called being poor as Job's turkey ,the man thst God allowed Satan to take away all from him,but he didnt curse God.and God restored him twofold
Interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Last supper blah blah blah. People are thinking to hard ! It's just an album cover man !.
I really don’t think it was intentional, but I do see the parallels that everyone pointed out 😊⚡️
Who's holding the money bag like judas ?
Is Dani getting married?she started on the wedding cake.Pau is angry(look's like she's gonna attack Dani)3 candles in the back(one of them is soon burned out)
Can this meen the end of The Warning? I hope not
I don't think you have anything to worry about :)
Let us hope that I'm far away with my analyse😂
😊⚡️
I somehow find this exercise of finding meaning behind the picture tough. You go from funny playful meaning to dark and disturbing. I personally don't need more crap floating around up there.
I always find it fascinating how we can all look at the same piece of art and derive completely different meanings. I’m glad people are beginning to care about art again…it was definitely in decline for awhile
I can't believe you spend an entire video analyzing an album cover however the band is amazing.
I analyze for a living and really enjoy looking deeper into pieces of art, especially when they are music related. I don't think I'm alone in finding enjoyment in doing so. :) And yes, the band is amazing!
And I can't believe that you're narrow-minded enough to not even take the time to consider that, the images depicted in the artwork might have some interesting significance, both individually and collectively, and it's amusing and entertaining to analyze, discuss and even politely debate.
I'm guessing that you're probably a somewhat boring individual. Have a mediocre evening or day or whatever. 😁
You must have 1 boring life to waste time with theories about an album cover
Not at all. Discussing music and music related things is a passion thst helps bring balance and joy to my life as my job is much more serious.
“Life is nothing more than passing time”. So why not pass a bit of time analyzing interesting album covers!
For down time this is much more interesting and interactive than sportsball or anything else on tv imhop.
I'm guessing that you might've been bullied as a kid and had your lunch money stolen.
That seems like a random comment
The hard rock band that doesnt play " hard rock"😂😂😂,, just basic power chords, a too basic bass lines and lame basic drum fills/ drum beat,,😂😂😂
I respectfully disagree. Pau was awarded Drumeo's 2023 Rock Drummer of the year, and Dany and Ale are incredible musicians as well - definitely not just basic…
@@psychologyofrock you are a musicians you should know better,, lol..
@@psychologyofrock you also play guitar.. What is your definition of basic guitar chords?? Isn't that what dany is playing??..lol,,
I genuinely love her playing. I think she’s innovative and appreciate how well she can sing while playing riffs. I struggle with that.
@@psychologyofrock oh i see,, you are a fan of the warning and you also reacted to japanese female bands,, best drummer my ass,,lol.. She didnt even have the skills of japanese female drummers..what a joke that is,, do you think she is better than HARUNA of lovebites, AKANE of bandmaid, or MURATA TAMU of nemophila????.. " best drummer" ?? What a fckng joke..LMFAO..
