Metric - I.O.U.

[Turnips]

TERRIBLE quality, you should be ashamed

[hiyamike99]

First thing I thought when I saw this - "in low quality she looks a lot like ayn rand..... gross"

[elazarmack]

isn't there a highest quality version?

[ALAN1785]

What's the meaning of... I.O.U. ????????????? I'm not joking ... English is not my native language and I don't understand =D

[kmleblan]

@ALAN1785

I owe you. But people spell it I.O.U because when you say "I owe you" or just the letters I.O.U, it sounds the same. :-)

[sergeantfrog]

I'm thinking she looks like that chick from Metric. Emily Haines I think she's called.

[faithdelusion]

Emily doesn't have a big brown beaver.

[lazygurl93]

if there's ever a movie made based on emily's life, I'm sure Winona Ryder would play the part. :P

[tranzenic]

wow, their sound has really matured.

[Doogs623]

this is like a third of the song...weak sauce

[CalebTheGuitarist]

looks kinda like winona ryder and kira knightly in this video

[minnymich]

yeah she really likes a perfect mix between winona ryder and uma thurman

[hotcatmax123]

i love her hair like that and this song is so great .

[TheAistu]

its Uma mixed with Wynona Ryder

[BakaSoil]

@TheAistu

good call

[sony8877]

anyone noticed that quite a few of their songs refer to war?

[TheUraharaFan]

@sony8877

I have, they also reference the music industry a lot.

[StrangeNotDeranged]

@sony8877 Yes, but I think Succexy might be their only song that's actually about war. I think the others might be symbolizing other stuff. For example, I think that Monster Hospital is about struggles that people have in their lives, like when people say that they're "fighting their battles."

[platypae333]

I have this on my iPod but it doesn't work :(

[pauijay]

why is it cut off?!?!!?

[peachesndcream221]

so true she does look similar to winona...

[socialcontrol77]

Emily really reminds me of Winona in this...I don't know why.

[ameliaoctober]

i can see that

[jsteele07189]

@socialcontrol77 could be the hair

[marksmark4]

Metric Is Awsome!

[bonesmorebones]

does anyone else think she kinda looks like winona ryder?

certain bits?

[phchartrand]

Didn't see that until you brought that up, I agree ! But Emily's better :)

[RJTheDestroyer21]

I always thought of her as being a mix between Kira Knightley and Kate Winslet, but Winona Ryder is very similar in some respects.

[amsterdamTRAVELLER]

i watched edward scissorhands not too long ago and the resemblance blew my mind away.

[devourerofbabies]

Huh. I was thinking Uma Thurman.

[cortec3000]

shes got the bone structure, but shes lanky,tall

In the right light..hells yeah...

[MaxC17]

@bonesmorebones sometimes yah lol good eye

[fugazi1980]

what an amazing lyricist Emily Haines is!!!!!!!!!!

[shota777]

is this the real/official music video??

at first i thought this was footage of them recording in a studio..

[easylove87]

what an embarrassing video.

[Sims2players]

how's it an embarrising vid?

[easylove87]

It's just bad. Bad "concept," if you can go so far as to say it has one. Bad cinematography; it's so stationary and cheap looking. Videos can be really inexpensive and still avoid looking cheap. Also, Josh's dreads. Brutal.

[Sims2players]

Doesn't the song matter at all?

I think it does.

[easylove87]

the song and video are separate entities. the song is great. there's no question. however, i'm not talking about the song.

the video, made for the purpose of PROMOTING the song on television to get airplay on radio, and thus promote the album, is a piece of shit. it's a bunch of mostly static shots in a basementy with out-of-sync christmas lights. its about as uncreative as music videos get.

[Sims2players]

I know what you mean.That's true.Not as creative as most of thier usic videos.

[ihm111]

ya, this band is awesome.... saw them in calgary then pemberton then new york city then cumberland.... definately will see them again!

[LittleTripInMyMind]

Le refrain est extra, mais il n'y ai qu'une fois ! =(

[0Defunk0]

lol it says be the change you want to see everywere in my highschool and i have like 4 bracelets that say it.

[MuffinMaster31]

I love this song ^.^ I was on the skytrain the other day and someone had written a bit of the lyrics on a telus thing, and then there was underneath "Be the change you want to see in the world." ^.^ it was a beautiful thing to read on a day like that.

[kraken185]

Its also a Ghandi quote

[MuffinMaster31]

Yeshaa

[CountStrangulaX]

wot is?

[BlackLine1422]

This song has a very cool groove- kudos**

[baker242424]

canada ,,,,i think

[MyChemRom435]

metric is Canadian....

WOOT GO CANADIANS!!!!

[HalloweenFreakx]

Hehe, I saw them yesterday at the Osheaga Festival in Montreal. They were greaaaaat. :3

[MyChemRom435]

[soptamer]

[Sallimay97]

[singingfeces]

[Poolio27]

"Zomg this vid sux!"...No, i'm kidding heh. Making fun of dudespeak. This video and song rocks.

[guitarxgirlx13]

this is an awesome video! i absolutley <3 metric!

[CrazyDifferent]

stops at 2:13 for me too.

[ptrLeGrand]

Luckily, Haines's voice's great, because musicians aren't that good... Emily's solo stuff is so beatiful.

[Zeldreaisme]

Ack it stops at 2:13 for me!

But, otherwise, fabulous song!

[voidmachinery]

LOL, now i kno wat u mean

[agoodgirlNOT]

all my friends tell me emily is awesome live

[guts777]

sound was surprisingly really good quality compared to other stuff.

[emTglass]

thts awesome i want to catch them live too!! wonder when they will be in toronto...

[alizard1584]

saw them back in 04 or 05 there awesome live!

[LovelyDarkness14]

DAMN STRAIGHT SHE BE CANADIAN!

makes me proud to be canadian too.

shes the only respectable female artist from here.

avril lavignes a whore, nelly furtado is a sellout, and flyleaf is just dont get me started on her.

EMILY HAINES 4 LIFE!

[mixxycan]

Yes, because those are the only choices for Canadian female artists...glad to see you've got your MTV rotation nailed.

[ChineseKiwi]

have we got music elitism here? Who said that they were the only choices? Certainly not me, you did.

[LovelyDarkness14]

lol and im glad you know what im talking about too.

[ChineseKiwi]

Um, the women from Arcade Fire and the Canadian Supergroup "Broken Social Scene" e.g. Leslie Fiest anyone?

[LovelyDarkness14]

magenta lane and hunter valentine!

i dont listen to arcade fire.

tried to once but couldnt.

[edgette]

and tegan and sara! amy milan!

don't even get me listing. there is way too much canadian talent hanging around. and thats because we rock. haha!

[ShinjuHoshi]

hes talking about the famous ones *meaning the ones that get more show*

[LovelyDarkness14]

she is lol and yes thats exactly what im talking about. some people here are just too dense to know it.

anyways yes canadians do rule. i am a canadian.

thank you for the support. you rock.

[karmahbelle]

E.H. for life is right, shes friggin awesome!

[crimsonxrose103]

umm, flyleaf isn't Canadian =/

[LovelyDarkness14]

doesnt make'em suck any less.

[crimsonxrose103]

Thats simply an opinion and I'll respect that.

[LovelyDarkness14]

thanks, nice to finally meet someone who doesnt lose their cool when one speaks ones opinion.

your awesome for that XD

[crimsonxrose103]

haha woot! =]

It really bugs me when people loose there cool, and starts a fight over the internet. It's like what are you trying to prove, your arguing on the internet? lol

[LovelyDarkness14]

lol exactly! and sorry if it seemed rude earlier. i was just preparing myself in case you were a psycho flipper outter.

[crimsonxrose103]

Well im happy to say, I don't think I am one! =D

[LovelyDarkness14]

nah your not. if you were you prolly would have went off on me like big time.

[travelhymm]

oh god get a room

[parisianlights]

she looks good with her hair like this. now it's all ratty.

[Nangsuuh]

First time I hear them. They're actually pretty good. I think I might check up some more songs with them.

[IHeartMyCamera]

I want Emily Haines to marry me.

[jusforfunn]

maybe she will!!who knows??

[underbeast]

lol im hardcore type put i jsut love their music so well arange together and emilie have a so charming voice. the ebat in huslte is jsut incroyable.

[Marenacat]

God, they're so good! No one of my friends like them, but whatever. I'm norwegian, but I can't find their cd's!! May be they just excist in America? And can somebody tell me something about them? I've just listened to their music, so I don't know much about them ^^ And excuse me if my english is bad, but I'm actually from the cold north ... Haha.

[cheesemaster23]

They're Canadian...

[pshhtaha]

there a canadian band, lol

[Milynia]

Huh! D=<

[cherryprincessm]

"subtract my age from the milage of my speeding heart"

=)

[tronandtaco]

XOXOXOXOX EMILY <3

[corridorsofpower]

BEST SONG!!THE END!!!

[psnk0002]

BEST SONG! the end!

[gorillawarfare30]

Metric are indeed the best thing, for quite a while, since sliced bread~!!

[camtheman234318]

metric is the best ever

[stuntbikebabe]

metric roxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[rockingdonnas]

j'adore ^^

[avejn]

I like her better with blonde hair, personally.

[boyStaRR]

Much agreed!

[pshhtaha]

same here:O, and everyon else i like, ohhshes way better brunnette , pssht, :P

[SparkleXcookies]

My fave song x

[DeSadeTO]

Tried not to copy and paste and shes still alive...damn...any other suggestions?

[wearXsunscreen]

does it matter? the lines between genres are so blurred nowdays that its compleately irrevelant.

[PenguinMafiaFilms]

Does anyone else think she kinda looks like Nina Meyers from 24?

[corridorsofpower]

I think she looks like Nyna (pronounced niner) from the VKTMS. Check my posted vids of Metric from Prince's own adopted club 1st avenue!

[herenaycomes]

shes got a really good voice.

emily haines's solo songs are also great.

[MZB]

tight.

[ChineseKiwi]

Anyway, Metric's sub genre is ELECTROPOP. Just to clear it up. The lyrics, the way the instruments like the synth and guitars are used = classic electropop fashion.

[icecapped]

WTF INDY=INDIAN TURD NO!!!

[synaps555]

heyyy full versionnnn? :P

[michio]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.. i see ...everything makes sense...now

o__o

[michio]

is'nt indie, indian music? o__O

i always thought this was funk...

but enyway, THIS SONG IS FRIGGIN AUSOUME @__@

one of my faves ^-^

[Utterlyfantabulous]

Indie = Independant

not indian.. D:

[radicaledward123]

Indie stands for independant music. Meaning it isn't on a major label (BMI, Epic Music, etc..)

[rowsdowersavesus]

No. "Independent"

[metricfan33]

good stuff

[geena06]

she has a great voice!

[ntimes9]

Well aye - I was expecting shooting "vomit bombs", but apparently this is before the stop-animators got a hold of them.

[AndySquirrel]

man, this album is so much better then the new one....

[psychosomaticism]

Good song, but what a boring music video. I was hoping for some visual to go with the images the song conjures.

[bajooby]

she's so pretty

[bystrouska]

How I love this song... every time I listen to it, I fall in love with them all over again! :)

Oh, and isn't Emily friggin' ADORABLE (and damn sexy, too) on this video? <3<3<3

[PirateSammy]

hells yeah!

[Rutsah]

Un des seuls groupes "pop" que j'ecoute ^^

[Shemp3]

C'est indie

[ViewingAngela]

^^ Metric :heart:

[IceFloeHyoga]

The Best Song of Metric

[ScorchedFreak]

Amazing.... just amazing!

[MetricGroupie]

Ha! Look at Josh's hair! xD

[nostalgialol]
