The moment I read that title of their album, I understood the meaning and it got me to instantly love them, cause they feel exactly like I do. Where is that world? For our own good, I hope it's not really gone for good.
They are so rad, all there songs are so good. She has that peak that comes up at some point in every song that just gives you goose bumps. Really chill, good lyrics, great music. They are a band that plays any song that I love waking up to in the moring and starts of my day awesome!
This song is GREAT. I'm amazed that Metric can make brilliant videos without spending a fortune. So many artist make high cost music videos, and they still aren't as good as something like this.
@LordOfTheGnus I haven't heard a voice like hers in the last 20 years! And the video is great, and after watching it, i feel like working out. After seeing the band jumping around and playing their guitars, you just feel so "pump" up you gotta go to the gym and try to jump around like the band. so much energy, i listen to this song everyday! plus combat baby and sick muse are my favorites, i wish they would come to Las Vegas,NV. i would pay top$ 2 good seats. ronfirefox Nov10th,2010
Old world underground where are you now? Subtract my age from the mileage On my speeding heart, credit cards Accelerate, accumulate Looked for you downtown Wound up in a movie with no story Now it's late and you are nowhere to be found Hesitation's always mine Hesitate outside the times With all I don't say With all I don't do I'm sending you Invitations to hesitate too
hmmm this main synth part that starts at 0:28 and 2:24 is haunting me...it's from some movie(maybe "They Live"-although i didn't find it on the OST),series...i know i've heard it before...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
And for the all-around deficient types: relocating to a bustling city in another country to get involved in its music scene doesn't mean you become a citizen of that country.
What a perfect, awesomely constucted and beautifully layered song this is. However, I have to admit to thinking the title was "Old World Underground", having listened to it constantly in my car for over a year. Some of the lyrics are just great, too.
you would think that because old world underground was the name because thats the name of the album and sometimes bands do that but yes i agree with you
Damn right. Canadian Indie d.eserves so much more recognition But for some reason I almost feel like I'd be less drawn to it if it actually was mainstream... I don't know how to describe it.
didn't metric win a bunch of Canadian music awards? I don't live in Canada so i'm not exactly sure of this, but i have friends that live there and tell me how metric is considered mainstream there. They call them sell-outs too (my friends are probably just pretentious twats). Canadian Indie music has gotten pretty damn popular over the past few years. I guess we only really get the tip of the iceberg (the tip of the iceberg being everything on Arts & Crafts).
This is my favorite band, I can sing most of their songs, and this is my number one favorite and then Under The Sly. Or I think it's under the sly, lol. I know it I just forgot the name lol
This, and Monster Hospital, are my 2 favourite Metric songs. Fantastic! Wonderful band. Would love to see them live sometime, should they ever venture over to Wales! :)
Ginger, blonde, i dont give a shit. She's fucking awesome either way! <3
