[myempathy1]

Oh, don't tell me again, I won't see you again...

[sstrycek1]

That voice! That VOICE!!!

[Candiigalz]

the two dislikes will be dust.

:)

[100aurusss]

f.....g awesome

[100aurusss]

wonderful s

[perato123]

The most listened song for me for 2 years now. Last year, when I found this, I had maybe 500 playcount on winamp, this year 800 more. So positive and upbeat that I could listen this forever and just smile. Thank god I found "free mp3" code for local seller so I could buy this song since they don't sell the 2 disc version in here.

[realpinkfan]

Metric kick ass!!

[regrebud]

The one that disliked just hit the wrong button by mistake :)

[PaperBirdsFilm]

1 dislike? ha! looks like you're alone, LOOSER!

[magnamerc]

Without a doubt this is one of the best pop songs ever.

[Zepthire]

No idea why this wasn't included on the main Fantasies disc, its amazing. Lucky for me it was on disc 2 of the edition I got.

[dodecameric]

Great song. Who was the one to dislike? Boooooo!



[Toddcraft]

@dodecameric Whoever disliked this has no soul

[UnlimitedMega]

This is my favorite Metric song, such an incredible band. I also love "The Police and the Private".

[emelyv]

one of my favorite metric songs! dont know why it is not on their album!!!

[kalsikum]

@emelyv i thought it was?

[AlmightyScubba]

Is she fucking Jimmy?

[Caleyero]

Emily, marry me please...

[krzysiek180589]

in poland we have ,,Hey'' - they sing similar songs but in another formula slower and lyric. metric is best after muse

[AngelGirl929]

I love metric 

[aconradful]

Stupid limewire and frostwire got into legal trouble. Can't get this song. I hate that that happened.

[Gulliver1229xD]

@aconradful just use a youtube audio ripper

[minitrim]

@aconradful buy it! you know, with money? metric are an incredible band and if we are to even be aware of equally good bands in the future we have to be prepared to support them

[ronfoxfire]

@minitrim I couldn't agree more, i just wish i knew where to listen to them? other than Amazon. Any suggestions? ronfirefox

[fergferguson]

yes, this song could have been thrown on the album no prob... the perfect example of them making the simple and predictable sound completely original.

[slayerinmypants]

satellite mind was my #1 song by metric...it just moved to #2 =D

[gvtodab46]

this band never ceases to amaze me. there talent is huge and i love them.

[RyuuketsuTV]

Shit... I cant believe I didn't hear of this band earlier. Found out about this band through the "scot pilgrim" movie. I really like it!

[Randori]

Who has this in digital form?

[tgold1968]

The best song the Ramones never wrote. I bow to your lyrical genius, Emily!

[MmmCouchPotato]

I loooooooooooooove this song

[Papadupulous]

Brilliant. Shouldn't be a B-side.

[KickBackLip1]

This is my fav metric song.... :D :D

Im gonna use it for my next montage

[Presentboy]

i dont really get what B-sides are?

[TheBiz182]

@Presentboy It's a term to refer to a band's less popular or know tracks. It comes from Vinyls and Cassettes where people would buy a single from the Vinyl or Cassette. Since the Vinyls and Cassettes had two sides to record songs bands would give their A-Side (the popular hit song) with the B-Side (the less played song on the other side of the Vinyl or Cassette).

tl;dr it's like the Hidden Tracks that are on most CDs today. It doesn't really matter because this song, and Metric, rock!

[alexveeyeah]

@Presentboy B-sides are songs that don't make it on the album.

[PixieShadows13]

My fav song from them, besides front row and sattelite mind

[Alleyana]

This and the acoustic version of Glass Ceiling complete my life.

This band, and Emily's solo career put the icing on top of my life and give me hope for music.

[BobYD1337]

best song from metric

[ihopeyouredone]

This band... is PERFECT!

[tommy0canadian]

so fucking good!!!! to bad i cant tell what the hell their saying in half of it

[Heavencloud]

how is this a b-side? better than the rest of the album imo D:

[phr33ksta]

Anyone knows a band similar to metric? looking for more of that kind of stuff but no luck yet ...

[nickyme5]

@phr33ksta maybe the yeah yeah yeahs?? their new stuff, from the album it's blitz :)

[phr33ksta]

Big fan of metric since years. This is another great track

[niftyflowers]

Fucking right, indeed.

[Suicideman0]

listening to this allows me to be completely happy and relaxed. I love metric :)

[glennhwj]

I agree, this is way too good to be B-side!

[owenissalty]

after i see metric in concert, i'll be able to die happy

[notyetaladie]

@owenissalty Do! Every chance you get. They are AMAZING live!

[sketchesofariel]

@owenissalty Hahaha! I feel the same way. I'm seeing them next week, so I wouldn't mind dying after that. =D lol

[owenissalty]

haha that's awesome! where are you seeing them? i'm going in april - can't wait!

[sketchesofariel]

@owenissalty: Sweet! *high five*. I'm seeing them in Hollywood. I really cannot wait either!

[owenissalty]

@sketchesofariel wow hollywood! i'm jealous!

[moonshinexperience]

I bought the CD, but it didn't come with this song D:

and that is totally suckish. cuz i <3 this song :)

[Mixarenan]

What single is this from?

[subvertAG]

this is a b-side from the fantasies album

[RUTH4NN3]

I love thiss sonng! And metric of course. :]

[Pdnorell]

WTFFFFF a metric song I don't have!? I WANT THIS!!!!!!

[violetgang]

i love metric so much i don't know if i should cry in excitement or jump in joy. they're brilliant!!!

[sheruhachi]

@violetgang Overflowing much! *wipes tear*

[punkgirl911]

im glad someone put this up

[PreussenEiche]

it sounds like a medley of help i´m alive and sick muse :D

[cmattmetric]

Why in the world was this left off Fantasies??? Blindness could have easily been left off in place of Waves. Hell... I could have lived without Collect Call if this would have been in its place. Just shows how much Metric rock! This was in the discard pile! Emily, Jimmy, Josh, Joules.... I can't wait for you to come back to Detroit!!!!!

[owenissalty]

omfg. I completely agree. Why have i never heard of this until now??

[myonlyoffer]

Someone told me it was on the B side of Fantasies.

[miguel46580]

N-n-n-no... They couldn't have taken off Collect Call. I could've lived without Stadium Love, I'd end up finding it on youtube anyway and listening to it and loving it as much.

[wtfandy]

Wow.

I've been missing out on this.

[miguel46580]

Crap.. I meant to agree with you. Not a thumbs down... Sorry about that.

[SagaciousHamster]

This is fantastic. I didn't know it existed until it was used for the background on their new behind-the-scenes from Australia video. Could easily have made it onto Fantasies.

[glargfleeb]

I can't believe they're already writing songs this early!!! Emily Haines is a machine!! I love it.

[notyetaladie]

Can't....stop....listening....­ ..

[sarahXblink06]

This song is amazing! wish they put in on their album:)

[necvir]

Yes!!!! Its amazing!

[blocparty4life]

@sarahXblink06 its a pre order bonus track

[williamjamesbrown]

@sarahXblink06 It is ... its a hdden track. I mean you might know that by now but, you know !

[ronfoxfire]

@sarahXblink06 you mean you can't get this on a album or a single?

[sarahXblink06]

@ronfoxfire it's just a b-side 

[MusHansen]

I'd love to see a video for this song! Yeah Metric, u rock!

[StereotypeMaster]

I miss when Metric was good. Their latest album was overproduced beyond belief.

[okdontnoewattoput]

you've gotta be kidding me fantasies was some of their best work, while i think all their previous three albums are great and static anonymity which was nice and raw, fantasies has some of their best tracks to date, like the three singles off of it, gimme sympathy, help i'm alive, sick muse, then other tracks like this, front row, blindness etc. and it definetely was not over produced i really don't think metric over thought any of the musical components in their music, but hey that's my opinion

[StereotypeMaster]

The new album was. Basically the message that Metric put out with Fantasies was "sexyness sells". They just went completely mainstream and gave up the lyrical and raw music they were famous for. Out of their new songs (in their later stages, I mean), Freddie was probably the only one I considered "amazing", and they didn't even include it on their album. Fantasies is my least favorite of all the metric albums.

[okdontnoewattoput]

Ya i guess i can see where youre coming from with the sexyness sells, but i dont think its their fault for going mainstream because all that means is their music appeals to more people which is whats bound to happen if they produce great songs like they do and i also disagree with them giving up on their lyrics cuz i still think theyre amazing and they lost their rawness ya, but now they are more refined and fine tuned, but watever your entitled to your opinion and i still think theyre amazing

[sonyasurprise]

i completely agree. metric is still amazing. they're lyrics are still powerful and meaningful, and not mainstream. sure, they've gotten more mainstream, but they're still different and their music is still amazing and unusual. i adore them, and i think this is one of the best albums yet.

[BaliMan19]

awesome song! should be their next single, or radio song.

[MetricCrazy]

ya this is the original version of up in flames but its called waves

[coldesire3]

This sounds so familiar. It sounds like one of the songs they toured earlier. I think it was called Up in Flames?

[angelinchains7]

easily my most loved metric song. "a sailor married to the sea"....brilliant

[necvir]

Yes its one of my favorites!
