[justsumdude899]

Amazing song.

[MasterBlaster747]

[justcommentary]

TRISI digs it

[stefanplaza]

I Love METRIC

[FuckingStanz]

mediocre band pillages the 80s. story of the 2000s. 

[SerendipitousSean]

@FuckingStanz

Listen to the back catalogue...then shut up

[1Hom3slice1]

I hope They release it.

[kenny888stsk]

the audience is wayyyyy to jumpy.

[ashrinketla]

@kenny888stsk  i know, its pretty bad.

[writermatthewcrow]

Yeah, the reason I love Metric is Emily's intergrity as an artist. I love that about her, which is why I am in love with her. She's the 1st on my list of artists I'd like to meet.

[najtrows]

haha i though it was gonna be roxette :D

[Evarkr374]

@najtrows WORD ME TOO

omg they should do QUEEN OF RAIN

[xXxXkillerqueenXxXx]

i loveeeeee emily's voiceeee

[metricLover9999]

i actually hope they dont release it, im tired of people who think they know metric

[okJAVS]

Will you cover my ears if i cover your eyes?

[likeomgitscrystall]

this audience needs to calm down.

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

@likeomgitscrystall Live recording, they were told to be quiet.

[Kirthey]

What is up with the audience...did they all get like two minutes of sleep the night before?

[BenjaminFranklin2u]

@Kirthey Live recording, they were told to be quiet.

[mez49]

Yah Dog?

[DistantTwinkle]

any word that this is actually going to be released, I know Emily commented about how she got mixed reactions from audiences when playing this. Love the SONG!!! One of my Favs!!!

[velobwoy]

this is the best thing metric has ever done - so simple, so beautiful. really needs to be released.

[leafnation4]

@mystisohorney that is part of what makes it so awesome, its rawness and realness

[maggieismyhomedog]

Emily haines is simply amazing and genuinly beautiful :) LOVE THE SONG, ILL BE WAITING FOR THE RELEASE!!! <3

[deadchildstar]

yeeee dawggg

[fallenxstar101]

why is this song unreleased?? it is amazing!!

[yokhaaleed]

i like how she says yeaa dawwg

[beamismyfreind]

love this. the keys and bass together are magnificent

[KairosKitsu]

Can't wait for the release!

[DMClover2]

Love the song!!

[rouzbehazshab]

just beautiful.

[ZZJoCa]

Like her voice, (brandable) and she 's hot and just quirky enough. Like to hear another guitar but the band's pretty good; hated the audience.

[bukketb0t]

Judge much.

[ZZJoCa]

@bukketb0t : just saying my piece. I looked at the comments on your web site. Seems like you're quite the work. I guess for some people, negative responses are better than no responses.

[smartone555]

Oooh pretty

[maimiaa]

joules. is so fucking hot. :D

[SakutheKQ]

@maimiaa THIS.

[DTTdanny]

fucking great voice :D:)

[GrueneBiene]

100% unique.

[mymorningvodka]

HALF HIGH HAT????

[Hycrion]

That´s where the drrrrrrrive comes from -

[LiamBamBam]

sounds like a full high hat to me

[mymorningvodka]

0:13

[pecman15]

release this song, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeea­z!!!

[IzzyCanFly]

I get to see them live on Saturday :D

[FortunateJoker]

you went there to 97x too! sweet

[maimiaa]

they are incredible live!

[platypae333]

I second that statement!

[duffyfan86]

This song *needs* to be on a future album, be it an LP or EP. Emily's vocals in this performance enchanted me & won me over yet again. Definitely one of my favourite Metric songs & it truly needs to be heard by more people. Pure love <3.

[TheLadyLotus]

No, Emily paved her way to make her own indiviual set style and compelling and moving lyrics. Giving herself a top folk/indie name and having two bands at the same time. Amazing live sounds just like the albums, if anything better!

[easylove87]

I am unsure which of her musical projects qualifies as anything remotely resembling folk.

[TheLadyLotus]

"Clenched fist sayin'

Its wrong to want more than a folk song" -Wet Blanket by Metric..

[easylove87]

... really?

[ronfoxfire]

@TheLadyLotus yeah i have to agree, how can one band produce so many wonderful hits! each one of there songs should be a classic! ronfirefox

[shakeurheaditsempty]

i love this song! they should sooo release this as a single at least. and the soft skeleton rocks Soo much, its all about telethon dog!

[viki008]

nice one-

[BellatrixSlytherin]

I wish I could find an mp3 of this

[bujintao1]

smd honey

[rick4001cs]

wow! the 80s smashed headlong into the 21st century+10

[theslexer]

i really hope they play this in calgary on the 30th

[cmay2008]

ME TOO! So so stoked for the show!!!

[mama0of0flatulence]

wowilove the synth!! is there a recorded version floating somewhere?

[BigWiwii]

dear god, everything they do just turns out being magic ! i need this song it's so "melodious"

[theslexer]

Release this track please

[steve843]

yes. .... i'm obviously not as familiar with them as i should be. :-/

thanks for the correction.

[absterz00]

Emily Haines is awesome

[steve843]

well, this vaguely resembles 'under my tongue' by the rolling stones so i'll say they sort of sound like them.... except, metric's more indie! repetitive beats, frequently whispered raspy vocals,etc. i love them though of course.

[pierrebgbig]

under my thumb*

[goodtimesdeluxe]

this song is awesome, what other band have this kind of sound?

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

Check out Stars. I mean they're no Metric haha but they're pretty good. Or if it's Emily Haines you're liking she has some solo work under Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton which would definitely be worth your time.

[RamonRocksProduction]

Personally I didn't like any of the songs she made with The Soft Skeleton, but I'm a big fa of Metric :)

[starship333]

@goodtimesdeluxe

None

[3pepper9]

she looks like a mix of winona ryder and a young meryl streep!!sooo pretty!!!! sorry I probably didnt spell those names right...

[crizackreggaeman]

bang on.

[lyricalempire]

this if my favorite song from what do yall think it about ?

[ThornellianKingdom]

agreed.

my favorite song from the new album.

[daceptacon]

it would be mine... if it was on the newest album.

[morenomoreno13]

yeaa dawg

[dry36]

yeah dawg

[salostefan]

I'm not quite sure what it is exactly, but her voice is so attractive.

[killar55]

Hmm.... maybe it's her vocal range?

[unholynitemare864]

why is this unreleased/??? i want it sooooo bad :(

[MalfoyMajick]

Her lyrics are amazing and her voice only adds to their perfection. <3

[polkadots311]

metric is pretty cool

[JuicyFruitBabe]

haha yeaaaa dorkk

[wtfjedlili]

i think she said yeah dawg haha

[planb61293]

she owns that synth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great stuff! been gettin into them so much lately

[antijbro]

shit I missed them :(

[tigerlily114]

First time hearing this one...have all of their albums, saw them in April, seeing them again in October! metric rocks my world!

[artevius]

i love it, wish it made "fantasies"

[kiddobaybee]

my fav

[Dilliboy63]

can't wait for virgin fest july 25, metric, broken social scene, the roots, sonic youth!!!!

[Real720]

would HAVE been.

[Hugoinabox]

On one hand you're kind of a douche for pointing that out.

On the other, you're doing your fair share of saving the world against the next generation, the generation that will rape the English language.

I give you the golf clap, for your courage.

[Blankbills]

The fact that this didn't make it on Fantasies is so weird.

[EmoThoughtsandDreams]

I love metric, they're amazing, ans the singer is amazing!

[Fade858]

yay metric ^___^ i didnt hear this song in their albums im hooked ;)

[imamok]

Her voice reminds me of the guy who sings in Motion City Soundtrack (I don't know his name as I haven't yet memorised wikipedia).

It's cool I like it.

[cashtrey]

amazing, amazing, metric rocks

[pleasantsville]

um, amazing song!!

[Fisheralt168]

Shut up noob mat....

[LTandDS]

It's just you.

[Deathbull1]

Well, tell yah what, I cant stand punk rock but this isnt really punk....its like a mix between Daft Punk and something unique, like Cold Play...not too sure what i think yet, but theyre definately genious. Way to go Metric well done. Doing a good thing for the Music Industry.

[jameskond]

Daft Punk, say what?

[wtfjedlili]

thats NOT jonas brothers lol that not i would care if it was coz they suck cow balls. i agree with

GeGeMus12 . they suck and know nothing about real music.

[TheMidgetNme]

janas bro ........rock!!!!!JOKING

[majo1310]

JANAS!? LOL! Learn to spell nerd!

[squidlycarmichael]

The fact that you're familiar with "the sound??" of Disney's answer to "The Partridge Family" says alot about you? It bewilders me...

[basqueboy89]

That's not the Jonas Brothers at all. You need to get your faces and facts straight before dissing other people and telling them to think before they think.

[GeGeMus12]

thats not the Jonas Brother lmfao, they wouldnt kno about real music haha

[evanisb0ss]

Im sure the crowd was like told to stay pretty quiet, to keep the quality good. But still, it would be more fun if they were jumping around singing.

[thear675]

who gives a fuck about the audience. I can't keep my eyes off of her <3

[dannycantwait]

if i were in that crowd, i would totally go up to emily after the show and ask her out, and if for some strange reason she declined i wouldnt care.

shes amazingly sexy.

[GeGeMus12]

These bands make a living making music for their fans, at least you can do to appreciate them is to buy their CD! Support Metric dawgs

[subsnclubs]

yeah that, itunes at least! we gotta support bands we enjoy, and its not like metric is a one hit wonder, all of their tracks are great.

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

Haha no trust me, I own every CD they've released...plus Live at Metripolis, a good chunk of Merch., all the Soft Skeleton stuff...there's no lack of support from me! And I've converted as many people to Metric fans as I can, including buying tickets for their concerts for nine other people haha. I just wanted the unreleased stuff too!

[Randori]

I would love some help tracking down the Static Anonymity EP. Any help ?

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

Yeah for sure. I got the songs off of Limewire Pro I think...I can email you the files if you want to message me an address. Someone did that for me once and I really appreciated it so I'd be happy to pass on the favour.

The only songs on Static Anonymity that weren't carried over to Grow Up And Blow Away are Siamese Cities and Down, but both of them are excellent! Just let me know :)

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

And by the way, do you ever send the audio files of your videos? Because I'd want so many of these on my iPod if I could!!!

[keepl0vealive]

Wtf, that was the worst applause ever for such a rockin' talented group!! They seemed half head! WAKE UP AND SMELL THE MUSIC...METRIC IS ALIVE!

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

Oh, is that what I am? Phew, I was confused there, had a bit of an identity crisis I guess. I just though I was an aficionado of good Canadian music and performers with talent! Thanks for setting me straight.

[juanx14]

omgoshe'sopretty!

[myssemily]

What the? No Joyride on Fantasies? Joyride=fun/.  sad. sad.

[DeansterTheSnow]

Yes, but B-sides are FTW.

[TheRedScareIsAlive]

Why the hell di d Myspace cram a whole bunch of fucking preppy douches and fucking skating assholes together for this performance? 

They don't appreciate it at all!!!

[nunzilla]

I'm thinking they won it via a contest, but blerg, I don't know. What an incredible opportunity, wasted.

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

Oh my they look BORED even. I hate them all haha I just wouldn't be able to stop smiling! If I wasn't moving it's be because I'd be so in awe, like "OH MY GOD EMILY HAINES IS FOUR FEET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!"

[oswaldvonromak]

so..........good!!

[likeomgitscrystall]

whats with the audience just sitting there? if i were watching metric preform i couldn't/wouldn't be able to just sit there like that.

[TheSkyAboveAblaze]

I wish this one were on the album...it's one of my favourites from this session.

[nunzilla]

me too. I simply don't know why it didn't.

[firefrostpeacemaker]

YEAH DOGG !!

[helemundo]

Fucking LOVE this band.

Emily Haines is my idol :]

[Jimnickm]

This bands just wonderful...what a discovery!

[robtriton]

HAhahaha! I love her! She spits out a "yeeeah Dawg!"

Stellar!

[troublesere]

THEY ARE FUCKIN GREAT!

[oryP]

great video, decent song

[IndieRockGal]

go and puke somewhere else then . no offence

[niiieee]

just bought test drive unlimited 2 das ago... and i love it most for now knowing about this great band.

(handshakes is on the soundtrack there)

[cactusattack]

To all the doubters this song still might be on the album. The song "Blindness" might be Joyride under a different title. The title sort of fits with all the "Cover my ears and close my eyes" talk. No one knows what Blindness sounds like so there is always a possibility. Be hopeful.(Even if blindness isn't joyride I bet Blindness is probably a super awesome song)

[dustycool66]

Good point, but there is speculation that the clip from Rawside (Part 2 i believe) in the editing process of it is Blindness, and the tiny clip of it sounds nothing like Joyride.

[TrickyRCAF]

They played some of their new stuff at Capital X as well, a couple months before Jingle Bell Rock.

[TrickyRCAF]

Whoever game the thumbs down, here is the setlist from that night. Dead Disco Poster of a Girl Satellite Mind Handshakes Empty Hustle Rose Rock Me Now Calculation Theme Combat Baby Stadium Love Monster Hospital Live It Out Stadium Love was perhaps the only new song played, but there you have it.

[robtriton]

Very cool!

[tankjedimaster]

it would be too cool if they toured with radiohead

[zeejay327]

All of their songs are amazing. This band definitely does not disappoint.

[dustycool66]

I'm sad to say that this song will probably not be appearing on the new album.

[cactusattack]

Me too, but they might release an EP or something later on with the other songs not on the album on it.

[dustycool66]

Yeah i really hope for that.

By the way, thanks for the thumbs down people...

[KCcassette]

I hope so. I'm quite surprised to see all these new songs !! :O

[runningofthejew]

saw them friday at sound academy. actually moshed the hell out of it lol. sorry for pissing off everyone who wanted a nice evening out with their girlfriend.

[metricLover9999]

lmao i was there too yo

it was fucking bomb

i hated how barly anyone knew metric's newer songs :P

[runningofthejew]

yeah they only played like 5 oldies. So good, met Sebastian Grangier, Got the setlist, good friggin night.

[cuppid14]

Yeah I went to them in Edmonton for Jingle Bell Rock, and I'm sad to say that I was one of the people who didn't know their new songs..

but it did make me go on youtube so I could hear them all and now I know them all off-by-heart! So really, the concert definitely did what it was supposed to.. promote their new material.

[TouchMyWeenis]

hahahahahaha you moshed at a metric show?

[metricLover9999]

yea...

[DeansterTheSnow]

Same! Sorry for stepping on your shoes! :P

[trinity546]

OMG Metric rocks my world i CANNOT wait to see them in concert

[IndieCredFred]

Going to be seeing them today in Toronto!

[MinnieMouse117]

Same. I'm so excited! :D

[TerraTempus25]

Lol "Yeaaaah dawg!" xD

Emily is incredible.

Metric is incredible.

The new album will be mind-blowing.

[beyourself180]

this band is a good example that Canadians can kick ass too

[kbdemaria]

This could possibly be Metric's best song.

[EvatheDiva00]

If anyone hates metric,, I might have to beat their brains out.

[meganestewart73]

agreed

[hoboman92]

Man, I can't wait to see them live in vancouver!!

it'll be sweeeeeeet!!!!!

[ryanc14tcd]

I'm so impatient

[phddddd]

This has got beat ... Metric rocks.

[omarchehayeb]

:( I cannot wait anymore....I NEED THEIR NEW CD

[nunzilla]

you and me both, damn it.

[omarchehayeb]

Haha it's like a fix!

Going to their concert tomorrow, oh yeah!

Hell, I'm fucking disappointed that they don't come to Montréal for the new stuff tour. I think I'll cry. xD
