[PartyPoison171]

i thought this was supposed to have lyrics...dammit

[sunmoonstars415]

Some people missed the like button- oh wait, nevermind

[Electric28Feel]

Am I the only one who has no idea what this song is about?

[PartyPoison171]

@Electric28Feel

no



[CityLights452]

O dear I hate being wrong! I always thought it was "Do it to make a mends and do it over again" . . . well this is embarrassing lolz

[Tailage]

Who the hell uses a zune?

[FemmeNevrotique]

DAMN, MEMORY LANE. 

[micalishis]

Are the E.P. albums "Static Anonymity" and "Mainstream" on iTunes?

[nihilistgum]

@micalishis no but you can get them on the internet and download them onto your itunes

[castman3]

@micalishis Static anonymity? Are you sure you don't mean Siamese cities? "She is shakin' out, static, anonymity, vanity..."

[micalishis]

@castman3 Not according to Wikipedia. Then again, it is Wikipedia.

[castman3]

@micalishis Your probably right, I was just linking up the lyrics but whatever :P

[loopstheloop]

I wonder why they added that annoying fake damaged vinyl sound through the whole track? Atmospheric? I think it's more annoying... wonder if there's a clean version out there?

[kaileydiogo]

I love the line about DuMaurier. She's always made it evident that she's a Montrealer. So awesome.

[clorox40nine]

hands my fave metric song! its a staple on my iPod!

[13thdog]

This is just Emily and Jimmy. The other two weren't in the picture yet.

[fobiklavinchikrulz]

[PhoeFira]

Mainstream EP demo 1998. Good stuff! Thanks for uploading.

[Shawna45Loo]

Love this song.

[Aliouxie12]

Where did you get this song from? Is this from the very first album they did which was unreleased? Even before Grow Up and Blow Away...

[VittheKit]

What album is this from?

[xngk]

@VittheKit

@Aliouxie12

This is from their early demp EP "Mainstream" (1998)

[VittheKit]

@xngk Thanks man!

[TeaseOhPlease]

I like to do ballet to this song :D

[CyakCyad]

For any video game nerds out there, doesn't the piano sound SO much like that song from final fantasy 7 'Heart of anxiety '? Just youtube it and see what I mean.

[Glandrid]

@CyakCyad I'm not picking it up.

[CyakCyad]

@Glandrid it's only about the first 15 seconds of the song

[Glandrid]

@CyakCyad Haha, ah yes. I do hear it!

[COLDSAPPHIRE909909]

@CyakCyad I thought the same thing the first time I heard this. Glad to know I'm not crazy.

[megastone]

its do it to make amends and do it over again

[ama21211]

Yum! Robert Wyatt anyone?

[Srutieken]

isnt it ' Do it to make amends and do it over again?

[PanoplyCabaret]

this sounds like it should be in a musical.

[flagella9]

Lovely vocal melody, the way she ties in the first word of the second line in that 'persue the bone - darling' bit

[luvmgmtrock]

This seems more emily than metric but still is a song that is neglected witch is a painful shame!

[s0succexy]

I listen to this song when im sad

[sketchesofariel]

I put this on my zune like two weeks ago and I just found it. It's like a drug! I cannot stop listening to it for the life of me. It's so beautiful.

[aavacado]

its not on any of their albums.

[BlueEleaphant1]

mainstream EP

[CristalTapioca]

the lyrics are WRONG!!! DuMaurier *Light *Learn to bend, learn to swerve. we stray for nothing *now. say learn to bend learn to swerve *do it to make amends and do it over again* learn to bend learn to butcher *make amends and do it over again* learn to bend learn to swerve *do it to make amends and do it over again* learn to bend learn to butcher *make amends and do it over again*

[LordOfTheGnus]

It's incorrect, but I heard it "learn to bend, learn to squirm", and I still like that better.
