Metric - Help I'm Alive Video

[sammysnakejones]

love the intro thats about it

[dbdaws]

@sammysnakejones Great. Thanks for letting us know.

[sammysnakejones]

@dbdaws anytime

[antirockinchair]

This is one Metric's best songs, I demo'd about 60 of them today. They have a great talent, maybe just a little more production work and they could put out some more fantastic songs.

[dapenguin2]

Beating like a hammer....

Beating like a hammer....

[FluffyFly79]

I wish they would eat Justin Bieber alive.

[xxxnanosinxxx]

Even with Twilight and ScottPilgrimVSTheWorld , Metric doesn't have their deserved attention!

[Armedak]

5 people are imperial

[jerkythesandpiper]

@MsQuidi omgomgomgomgomg

[notseto]

Where are the zombies? Isn't this song about zombies?

[usernamesucks409]

@notseto no.....Emily even aid it's nothing related to zombies about her personal feelings on the outlook of the world

[djscotty1111]

Good Job M8 ! Keep producing videos Cheers!

[ktodd1670]

I really love the video you made for this. It really looks like something they would have made for their video. haha. It's amazing. i give you kudos. times 10.

[ktodd1670]

I really love the video you made for this. It really looks like something they would have made for their video. haha. It's amazing. i give you kudos.

[iamjq3]

I love her voice, It is just so beautiful

[MissMac88]

The video you made for this song was Awesome!

[jumpalitann]

like this song, sometimes seems like YYYs - Y Control

[RockingestHellKitten]

@jumpalitann I was just thinking the same thing

[Mslittlejoeyy]

god this song is bloody epic.

[nakiahjoy]

I think I broke my repeat button by listening to this.

[Starmoo555]

Love the video, brother introduced me to this song last school year.

[baby8dingo]

This song reminds me of the time my friend gave me some chrystal meth and instead of smoking it...I wanted to be the big hero and shoot it up.. I shot up too much because I was so sure i was going to die. ... It was like my heart was going to smash through my chest... I was just waiting for it to smash through my chest.

[asiasawrus]

this is my favoret song

[magedoom379]

I may lost my appetite to this song from looking at that heart but I still like this song

[highmountain0]

love the title and the music.

[Megixe]

This song makes me cry ='(

[starlovegirl24]

@Megixe i can see why this would make you cry i just think its a great song

[QueenOfGuitars]

Has to be my favorite song from season 1 of the vampire diaries and thanks to that show I learned about this amazing band :)

[agizmo8]

Win



[lifeondisplay92]

Hell Yeah

[VioladorDeLaLey]

Thanks to the movie "Defendor" I learned about this song :-)

[Bowmore182]

@VioladorDeLaLey Dito ;)

[eviltypist]

best

[futurestar94britfan]

i cant believe this only has 76,643 views...

it should have like... at least 10 million

[Nexus956]

@futurestar94britfan I agree but it's better this music is kept underground. it is kept artistic, pure, and not commercialized. let the other 10 million sheep listen to the crap that is out there. let the artists dictate their music and not the label companies.

[futurestar94britfan]

@Nexus956 yeah thats true...

and as soon as something becomes "mainstream" u get all those random haters spamming everywhere.

at least this way their music wont get labeled and judged and people can just enjoy it for what it is.

and what it is, is awesome :)

[futurestar94britfan]

i keep listening to this over and over again

its my new favorite song <3

[masim78]

Very good song......

[sawmonkey]

Defendor! We should do that. Clear out the half-way houses and let the retard-strong decide...

[wittgenstein86]

Das Lied hört sich mal richtig gut an und die Sängerin sieht auch heiß aus ;-)

[Kvon253]

Long Live DEFENDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheMac4010]

how come ive never seen this on MTV or VH1 is what gets me!!!!!

[leovaeg]

@TheMac4010 because MTV is absolute dogshit(no actual Music), and VH1 is only "oldies" now :(

[sularjuper]

Defendor! :D

[MrBailiffMan]

I love this song, both this version and the album version even though I get completely different things out of the two.

The acoustic version I get what is probably closer to the intent of the song, someone who is lost and feels hounded by the world.

The Album version I always take a little bit more literally and it feels like its talking about someone who is being chased by zombies. Odd I know but thats what I get from it.

[grimlockca]

How on earth was this video not nominated for any awards at the MuchMusic video awards

[twilight799]

I love this song :D she's play on the soundtrack of vampire diaries, the second episode of the first season :) ♥

[AngelNotYetDead]

Whenever I can't sleep, I repeatedly listen to this song. Clears my mind, puts things in perspective. Anyway... After MANY viewings of this video, I just noticed that the kid at the :50 mark looks exactly like the kid that is on the cover of "Broken Star" by The Broadways.

[MaxjeDeNeusbeer]

@AngelNotYetDead Yeah you're right! But that kid is kinda freaking.

[dbdaws]

@AngelNotYetDead You are right. I checked out the album cover and it is the same image/kid. The clip is from a public domain film, not sure which one, but I think it was about children's learning patterns (like the LOVE and HATE text).

[AngelNotYetDead]

@dbdaws Ohhh, that makes sense. Thank you for the information :)

[MeganKerschieter]

@AngelNotYetDead Haha, I totally do the exact same thing.

[GoddessSongBird]

Hmm. YOu're totally right!

[MultiKimimaro]

@AngelNotYetDead that's cuz it is the kid

[smallvillealinedf]

great song!

[lassmichreinverdammt]

love this song - it makes my day

[thebizkid84]

Good song. Sounds like something The Breeders would do.

[unknowngirl777]

I thought this song was about stage frieght but I guess it's about love =\ humbug lol

[SourLemonSqueeze]

She does the sort of.. David bowie look when she preforms. I love it :3 The whole one shoulder uncovered and lots of skin showing, metallic fabric. I love Metric!!!!!

[xEinherjeRx]

Very nice video. For me as fascinating as the song. Well done!

[darkgameover]

I tremble...

[ziwx]

This is a really good video!!!

Talented! =)

[tiangasby1]

I LOVE this song.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarkChaos128]

defendor makes this song 1 million times better

[chuckielong1]

@DarkChaos128 true true it goes well or the mood foes well with the ending 2

[jokajoka82]

....soundtrack from "Defendor"

[machdw650]

This video was very well edited and creative. Well Done! Great song too!

[Xmenfan246]

Love the drumming!

[YxBthemaster989YxB]

fucking trippy

[Spacescope17]

Gotta be there best song from this Canadian group. Video is puttin me in vertigo

[yakoou]

the song is about u beetledick

[jgurbisz]

Perhaps the most amazing song my ears have ever heard.

[Sillyhappyhead]

I LOVE this song so much! its one of those i can listin to over and over again

[TwilightGallaxy]

They was amazing in concert!!!! My fav band ever!!!!

[WhatsYD]

It doesn't matter what the video is about or the song, it is just a good song simple as that.

[Willpower665]

This song isn't about depression. It's about zombies duh.

"if i stumble, they're gonna eat me alive"

"help I'm alive" (talking to other survivors, probably radio)

it's all there if you look for it. She's probably hiding in a basement or something.

And for the record, everyone is miserable when they're 15. No reason to hate on the kids. That's just where they're at.

[buus666]

@Willpower665 its about vampires you stupid fool DUUUH?!

[netblues]

I think Willpower665 has nailed it. I can't believe I didn't see it before. This song is about surviving the zombocalypse.

[yakoou]

haha

[Hazedream]

NBA2k10!!!!!!

[samirEdwards]

lol u alredi add the hommie u aint fckn wit me!

ice_EDWARDS

[Capinyx]

[parissharpe]

I love this song so much

[skateREALboards96]

[PalmTreeMechanism]

[440Imperial]

Voted #1 Hottest 100 2009 Gold,Guns and Girls... Cool Band

[ShinigamiReika]

[Ma0zGr3eNg0]

2k10 lol

[BrookieFrank]

I love this song so much,so I learned it on my guitar.Loove METRIC :)

[richardsucksx]

not everything is about twilight bro

[MOviEmakINGmadNeSS85]

Does anybody else agree with meeeee????

[kimpigoinksalot]

i kinda thought she meant that being alive was a bad thing. like meant save her from being alive. because maybe being alive is too painful...and because the world kinda sucks.

[ShabbyPictures]

yeah she talks about that but then she says "i'm still alive and my regrets are few" so maybe its a story of how she recovered from her struggles

[TurboBabyPuncher]

You must be one of those teenagers that pretend suffer from teenage angst, and pretend to not care about living, how much it sucks, etc. when in fact you pointing out that you don't care only shows how much you care about not caring.

[thebossfight]

don't even read that far into it, they're just in denial about caring so much about attention.

"life sucks, it's so hard to be a teen" (please comfort me, and give me attention. i need to feel special)

[hardxxcorey]

someone's a dick

[tomboy1123]

Dude shut ur ass up its a song and it aint ur business if someones depressed are suicidal ok so leave people the fuck alone and just listen to the damn song are get the fuck out

[spectrummmmmm]

whats this song about??

[unknowngirl777]

I thought it was about stage frieght but i think it's really about love =/

[MOviEmakINGmadNeSS85]

wow i guess i was off. i always thought she was referring to vampires.... =$

[cienade]

Generally, you're not allowed to criticize Emily's lyrics after listening to Underground.

[MinetteMinette310591]

i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bunnycrap16]

Freakin emo song

[BingDar]

im pretty sure it has to do with smoking crack

[bobbyluy]

Zombies !!!! Dam I knew it.. !!!!

[Willpower665]

OK maybe I'm way off but this is what I got from this song:

A girl, on a portable radio talking to some sort of rescue team, hiding from zombies.

"help, I'm alive" -but not for long!

[smcmillan88]

@Willpower665 I think it's a bit more metaphoric than that

[Willpower665]

@smcmillan88 Oh you need more?

"they're gonna eat me alive"

"If youre still alive

My regrets are few."

And everybody knows zombies can sense a heartbeat! It's how they find you!

[priospr3]

i agree.!

[happymsw]

I like willpower's theory. I agree fully, lol!

[batfreak28]

hey liamsvlogtasticvlog, first change ur name, second ur wrong wut the hell is wrong with ur brain "wen she says beating like a hammer" it kills the song? wut are you drunk, on drugs, both? do you got a mental issue. dont be weird.

[LiamsVlogtasticVlog]

when she says beating like a hammer it is just the worst it ruins the song

[MorganImagine]

She's so awesome! just saw Metric last week, they're AMAZING live.

[mlered]

I <3 METRIC!!!!

[HiMyNameIsJonnyBoy]

Her voice is so damn cool, Lovin it

[Annamandabella]

This song is brilliant.

[ameysimon1]

[rccarwinner]

[nathank16]

[ZafireLuminos]

Hard to be soft... tough to be tender..... total awesomeness...

[kabamodernchick]

I think I heard this on the Vamp Diaries. It's a really cool song

[Twigirl321]

Yah I heard it on Vampire Diarys too. I love Metric so I was so excited when I heard it

[Superion74]

Heard it on KROQ, and I love this song. The MV is also rather creative.

[titaniumsweetie1]

I love all the symbolism in this video.

[JakeMartin23]

a picture of a heart beating followed by a hammer does not count as symbolism... that's just literally showing parts of the lyrics...

[titaniumsweetie1]

Go red the letter I sent you, then watch the video again. Then you won't look like such a jerk.

[melonringluvr]

afi silver and cold- awesome vid check it out. i love her voice in this one. amazing music video

[psychedeluxe]

[RandomnessZach]

Can hear my heart beating like a hammer, she isnt banging her heart lol

[xHannahxAllmanx]

I love the whole part where she says, "Can you hear my heart beating like a hammer?" I like the drumming. It sounds very army-ish.

[tayy311]
