wow, I always loved the original version since it pretty much kicks ass with the combo of guitar and her voice and everything comes together in such an awesome way.
But hearing this version - it's the first time I really understand the meaning behind the lyrics. It's really sad, yet beautifully done.
This has been the track they end with every time I see them and its always such a crowd-pleaser. Its such a great way to slowly come down from your high.
this is scary if u read this this far u will die in 10 days if u dont send to any 15 videos in 2 hours good luck hope u dont die !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@plusmin09 It's an acoustic rendition of something which is, in and of itself, a very lyrically focused song. The monotony of the music and her vocal tone add to this, making it a "story set to music". To call it boring just means you weren't paying attention.
@plusmin09 I'm not arguing with you mate; go watch an interview with her where she discusses the band's structure. Also, it's a stripped down acoustic performance. As a full band, it enhances a lot of the lyrics, melodic structure, and songwriting structure.
I had to beg my mom to buy me tix to their concert and I showed her this vid to prove that the band wasn't some 'scary rock band' like she puts it. i got them, woot!!
I love this performance. And all I can say to you critics is that, if using drugs can give people the ability to sing the way Emily does here, then the U.S. should not only legalize drugs but distribute them for free.
actually, i think she's wearing sunglasses because she doesn't give A FUCK about her physical image. she's a musician, if she gave a shit about what she looked like she'd be a model/actress like everyone else. she cares about the music. close your eyes.
I believe she was spinning around with a mircrophone and hit herself in the eye with it during rehearsals. I read it in an article somewhere, I'll look for the link if you want :)
ok guys, even if she is hungover, this is an amazing performance. i can barely get outta bed when i'm hungover, and shes obv extremely talented if she can sing this beautifully hungover.
Why do you care what drugs they're on or if they're dating or if they're balding? They're making awesome music, and that's all that matters. Stop your fucking gossip.
This song is so amazing Acoustic especially performed live! Metric are amazing with their performs such as these! The campfire test. Absolutely wonderful to listen to.
if you're going to make fun of someone with a way cooler job than you, spell it correctly. otherwise you look like the illegitimate child of helen keller.
Metric are such a talented band, I've seen them three times and each time has been such a pleasure, so I'd really recommend them.
She's has one of the hottest voices I've ever heard, and songs like this just make my heart melt. I'd love it if they did an acoustic album of their songs over the years, that would be wonderful
she dosent do drugs, she just gets into her music. ive seen her so many times as either metric or just her and jimmy doing an acoustic show. i know she sometimes gets liquored up before she preformes though :p
What a joy we have to enjoy something like this....
I am just glad there are still people that are willing to play shit that means somethning to themselves... and in turn to all those who can appreciate
who knows if she does drugs or not and who really cares. She makes great music and performs amazingly. I really doubt she does really hard drugs anyways shes way to talented to be doing that and still be able to make this amazing music and perform so well.
Incredible. And nothing like the mediocre album version. If anyone knows how I can get the acoustic versions of these songs (especially Live it Out) I will donate parts of my anatomy and also dance at your wedding. PLEASE help.
oo i stumbled onto something good. i've heard of metric and the song "poster of a girl" and i've even heard the album version of this song before. at first it wasn't too impressive... but this acoustic version is so sweet. the lyrics are so beautiful it actually brought tears to my eyes watching this video. youtube is awesome! = newly converted metric fan.
then why are you arguing my point? i'm saying she should make some cash, and f your respect, you made my point, she doesn't need your respect, but you still buy her album, live to your word honey. long live emily haines and converse advertisement, let her feed her family, based on her looks, name, physique and most of all talent. commie go home.
Sometimes words can't express such beautiful poignancy. He would be so proud of you...

@joshcarr777 There are plenty of good lyrics that aren't degraded, but reinforced by interesting, complex, well thought out, and overall good music.
Calling the lack of effort, which results in boring music, intentional is just an easy excuse.
