Metric Glass Ceiling, acoustic

[Judirox]

Her voice actually sounds like it does recorded :D 

[Bree10f]

wow

[High4Till2I0Die]

i think i just jizzed in my pants...

[Jayfeatherclaw]

oh my, her voice is amazing.

[lizardstatus]

I fell in love with them by fluke... it was fifa 2009 soundtrack golds gun girls ... I was like I need to find out more about these guys... and poof! the rest is history.

[oproski]

I LOVE this song so much! Metric's new stuff is super awesome but their older jazzy songs like this one, too little too late, the twist, rock me now, etc. are my favorite.

[Katchata333]

Different, but JUST as good.

[xlaxfleurx2342x]

JIMMY IS SUCH A BEAST.

[MeetTheCryptid]

All the most original and different musicians hail from Canada! Rush, Metric...

[devourerofbabies]

@MeetTheCryptid The Pixies beg to differ.

[MeetTheCryptid]

@devourerofbabies haha

[hiimlarry]

Only know what I'm told. METRIC ROCKS!

[justbasic07]

(L)

[M3lloW55]

super good

[emanuelsson1993]

guessing she's on a hangover, hence the glasses and acoustic version xD

all said and done, awesome song :D

[datickywickygurl]

@emanuelsson1993 actually i think the sunglasses thing is just emily being emily. a few weeks ago she had an interview on sirius radio's alt nation and the host madison commented on her wearing sunglasses that night.

[bucketablood]

I love metric....all of it. But I kind of feel like it should just be this--the 2 of them, acoustic...it's the best.

[MaxC17]

I enjoy most of their songs in acoustic...

[Alleyana]

Emily Haines is the reason I love music and inspires me to want to become an artist.

[LiSsAgA88]

wow... first time to hear this and i kinda liked it n_n

[doctordutch]

That riff makes me think of Nirvana.

[thekohlton]

@doctordutch shes the lady cobaine my man.

[mikesentra]

@thekohlton Minus the heroin and self destructive habits (i hope)

[thekohlton]

@mikesentra well dont get your hopes up bro just take a gander at those fuckin glasses

[Analarana90]

great song, well played in acoustic but the guitar's volume is a little low...

[RyeLime22]

Great song! I like it in acostic form toooo! Metric owns, can't wait to see them!!!!!!

[xxRandomnameguyxx]

this song entrances me, especially when she says "break your own glass ceiling" theres something about the vocal melody there that gets to me.

[Chubigans]

@inflambulent they're just glasses.

[Jozsus]

maybe she's high

[rizelmine]

so amazing !!!! <3

[jdcrissey1]

weird but a good song.....

[pobrediablodemierda]

amo la guitarra de esta canción.

[TheControverseMan]

3:14 looks rather funny doesntit

[quickgears]

agreed haha

[treehamallama]

i love this.

[sebassucc]

they are surprisingly good live tho i dont think Jimmy should have sung at that point

[missnineteeneighty]

Why? I like it when Jimmy sings!

[jessicazepplified]

If you like Metric, check out her Soft skeleton stuff. Its a softer more profound side to her.

[dvs1717]

It's her solo project

[ThomasLavoie01]

That guy has the douchey LA cocaine flopsweat scenester look down to a science. That said I really like metric but guaranteed one or both of them is trashed.

[666devilsadvocate]

I agree.He looks greasy and she looks hung-over.that said,I love Metric to death.

[bangles00]

Lol, i'm pretty sure he was born in Britain and grew up in the GTA.

[Morningv0dka]

@bangles00 born in india

[Herorewind]

I don't see why it matters.

[anaquot]

They're Canadian...

[MaxC17]

@anaquot HELL YAH!!! HAHAHAHA!

[lupapa1000]

Who let that guy sing?

[sleaterkinney1bt]

hhahah

[XeRGi0]

WTF? Why he does that? Why God? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyy?

[holly4davidt]

1.25 I love that bit of guitar! Brilliant!!!

[Fateisawhore]

Who wouldn't marry Emily Haines?

[snobunny1993]

she's so beautiful, and her voice is amazing...I am addicted to Metric

[Domytar]

this is a wicked tunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeee

[enolf]

i find her guitarist man hot.

[codeblu23]

lmao, he is hot! I've got a cyber crush on him:)

[dustycool66]

I used to have glasses JUST like those, but they broke.. so depressing :(

[bookswise]

Mine broke when they saw that face of hers.

[phoebec75]

"there's no knight in silver harmour shining..." this line makes me shiver everytime I hear it

great, great song!

[Cammertime]

Oh, I love that lyric too! Fantastic. Where's the new album? =P

[Wohlfuehldiktator]

theres this discussion about her not being a sex symbol. I agree with you guys, don´t get me wrong, but still. when I think of metric I think about great music and damn adorable emily.

[wordemup2]

I love this.

[joeblow322]

Great Performance

[LaMeIsCoolifURme]

she has such an excellent voice, and legs

[stayroxy]

awseome canadian band they are great live too

[cecelia15]

i don't understand the glasses inside....O.o confused good song thou..love metric

[lightweight101]

They're hangover glasses

[brightcabfire]

WHHOO HOOO!!! i like metric.

[claricecrvl]

maaaan, this music is awesome!

[TroyPepper]

Man, this song is amazing acoustic. Didn't think it would work out that well with the guitar riff, but it was awesome.

[cronelordg]

she's not bad, reminds me a lot of sarah blasko

[ejm999]

Awesome acoustic version of one of my favorite Metric songs. What a voice!

[staceystars91]

kickin sound as usual. love you guys!

[izzyranglin]

Ah she's beutiful...great song.

[dunplaeh]

she looks like she's enjoying herself.

[stargurlflower]

Some bands/artist fail at attempting their song done on acoustic. Metric DOES NOT fall into that category at all.

[bangles00]

One of my fav quotes from Jimmy Shaw "If we can't do our shit campfire, it's not worth doing, right?"

[manolitabeltran]

Que... buena... canción!

es perfecta, así como está.

[WeveBeenWarped]

That it is. Awesome song Metric's lyrics are always meaningfull.

[soccergoalieforlife]

i wonder if the name of the song has anything to do with the term "glass ceiling" as defined as the unspoken rule that women can't achieve a higher status than a man in the working world?

[redlunatik]

listen to the lyrics, the whole is about that!

[skitsopaa]

its so crazy to hear this acoustic :§

[Whoaloic]

I Love it !

Metric rules

That's true music

[gggnarly]

emily=class

[thepigofhappiness]

dems some short shorts! lovely lovely Emily. i prefer this song acoustic, although i do miss the drums, they were great

[danielnorgrenjensen]

who let it end up on the ground?

how am I gonna know I'm letting you down?

[macknlay]

I love this song acoustic!

[SuperTaz13]

I think I prefer this song acoustic.

[jtaggartt]

omgg, i actually LOVE this.

i listen to it all of the timee!

<33

[rhcpforeva]

metric is a really nice band love it . *-*

[Maxx240181]

Emily I love you...........

[dustycool66]

[tizzlekkk]

[dustycool66]

how do i find it?

i already searched for it, and i really wanna hear it : )

[tizzlekkk]

i dunno, i have it on my computer somewhere, have NO idea where i got it.

[FemaleMac]

she rocks! she's the cooliest chick goin

[GrapeTV]

amazing, voice, exactly like the album

[Ynazzra67]

such a delicate singer love her and the rest!!

[minimalmuse]

I've seen Metric twice live...they should do an acoustic tour too!

[corridorsofpower]

wow..since the early LA days at the Troubadour I will always cherish that scene even if I only lived there one year in 2003..good to see them on top!

[JNickS33]

her tshirt is dope too

[curt1213]

damn, thats a great version

[jdacca]

from which album is this tune?

[toiletpprproductions]

live it out.

[lukeez512]

vo come ela um dia

[chicatitine]

J'adoooore!!!!

[beeboydance]

she is so hot right now.

[aTruThBmCpRoDuctionS]

OH WOW, I CAN SEE HER LEGS! AHhHH EMILY!!

[cygnusx211268]

Hahaha...YES!! Go Emily! (good god she's hot.)

[Uchinari]

My goodness, calm down guys.

Have some respect for the artist.

She isn't striving to be a sex symbol.

[agoodgirlNOT]

but she is

on of the reasons i like emily bcuz millions of guys thinks shes the hottest women on the planet and she doesnt even try hard to considered a sex smbol.

all my guy friends love emily.

[Uchinari]

I get what your saying, and that's another thing I adore about Emily is that she doesn't try so hard to be sexy like you often see in other female artists and that because of that she's even more attractive in a sense.

But still, I'm just trying to say that there should be enough respect for Emily, that no one treats her like someone who is nothing but a sex symbol. Because she is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than that. You know?

[agoodgirlNOT]

yeah your right.

shes became like more than a person.

in a sense.

like in a radio interview she was like iffy about doing carson daily with metric because she says and i qoute "I wanted to be more of a sound than a look"

that qoute right there sums up who emily is.

ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC NOT ABOUT THE IMAGE.even though shes gorgeos.she doesnt rely on that like SOME artists.

[Uchinari]

Exactly!

I saw that same interview. Yay Emily!

:D

[TheShen74]

she's one of those individuals who will never be respected for what she is, an example of what someone can become if they are truly gifted and not hindered by what they think others will think of her. so inspiring...

[chicatitine]

That's great!! i like metric!

[jfsoftspoken]

right on, another great acoustic set.

metric is kick ass, especially miss haines.

[letsgofeet]

I can't get over her voice.

[mine799]

The accoustic version makes it sound beautiful. The other version is more fun, but this just sounded beautiful.

[cherryprincessm]

who DOESN'T love metric???

[dulcetrivalista]

Esa chica canta como los dioses, I LOVE METRIC

[GRUNGEGOBLIN]

this songs so much more amazing acoustic , very dEUS-esc

[igotthebluess]

great

[AmazonProdutions]

I like Metric, cos the leader is a woman. Emily, you kick ass!

[haileycomet]

face down on the ground.

great song!

[edgette]

this band is fucking rad lol

(even tho its only half the band here)

:]

[chrisdunst13]

LOVE this song!!!!

:-D

[spacetraavelisboring]

emily haines is my hero. i love her. this song is amazing. i really like live it out too.

[user4thehumpa7]

Why would anyone hate metric?

[witchblade11]

fuck she's talented (and hot)

[theunwantedhero]

emily is the sex

[Bantelwoun]

This fucking rocks in both the acoustic version and the regular one! Love this song!!

[jennamaria2]

emily and jimmy are amazing!!!

[camtheman234318]

metric is awesome and if you think wrong fuck you =]

[royalavon]

does anyone know what brand those sunglasses are? i really like them

[enolf]

did you ever find out what the glasses were? I really love them as well!!!

[user4thehumpa7]

Emily is a babe...

[erictreen007]

i no eh!

[riotsammy]

jaaajjajaja i agree. why she's high? she can sing and you don't! that's the true :). anyway she got the style so shut up :)

[coolcatjojo]

i can't tell if she is doing her own little dance to the song or if she is on something

[IamChavez]

Well...wearing those sunglasses indoors does make her look a little high. Or at least like a 60's or 70's rockstar...oh wait, they were high.

[Alixness]

I don't see how she looks like she's high. She just looks like she's singing.

[Shanex36]

jeez emily is amazing

[thereader]

Jesus christ! So apparently if musicians get into their music at all they're high. I don't care that they do drugs or not, that does not mean that they are high in this video. Have you guys ever seen a conductor or pianist in performance? Oh, that's right, they go and get stoned and drunk before they perform, my bad. This video is great and if you guys can't be mature enough to get over this stupid detail you don't really deserve to listen to the music.

[fortuna202]

This version is just too awesome! I love the regular version, but acoustic is even better.

I couldn't say if they are high or tehy aren't, but I don't care either way. I just care that they give an spot on performance. Kudos

[facckoff]

fackk i love her.

[polopoly]

She's pretty hot, nice voice too.

[rainb123456a]

she has a lovely voice

[carmanf]

im in love <3

[geninerini]

wikid emily!

[zmitchzz]

Long live emily haines.

[xSouthParkFanx]

Omg I just started listenin to Metric but I have fallen in love with the music!! This is one of my fave songs by Metric!

[tiw3]

god save emily haines !!

[moopuff]

What are you guys talking about? ACTING like she's high? You see someone getting into what they are playing and you think they are high? Maybe they are high? But who cares? People who leave comments along the lines of 'they are trying so hard to be cool' and 'they are only acting like they are on drugs' are just idiotic, and are probably still in seventh grade acting like they are big bad pot heads who have never even seen a tree. Fuck off and grow up.

[bosherrz]

man i friggin love metric but shes like always on something

ahahahha still got to love her though

[moopuff]

It's not that I don't believe she does drugs, it's just that there is an over abundance of those posts. They really aren't needed. Yeah, you're right though, she's awesome.

[thereader]

Haha, right on. Some people just can't get over it.

[metricfan33]

uhm i love emily haines, and shes not pretending to be high dude. she does weed and cocaine, shes the real deal no fall out boy wuss.

[jennmannix]

Not that that's something to be proud about, though lol. But I understand what you mean, and I love Metric so peace. &hearts;

[dnlb82]

Amazing!

[kzdub]

LIME WIRE

[riversideblues7]

omg i love this so much.

anyone know where you could get mp3's of this?!

[bradez]

unlike the rest of those rude comments i think every word and every note every played by either one of these amazing artist's is perfection. emily haines is gorgeous. jimmy shaw is absolutly handsome. i love metric!

[yogigi12]

its great

[redquill]

They both look so fuckin high. LOL.

[jun7per]

They are too stupid to even get high. Shes just trying so hard to be cool. She actually looks like some southern California rejected house wife.

[gotgotchill]

what do you know about them

theyre just playing music.

you can't judge a girl like that.

[staringproblem]

thanks for posting these!

[idiotequedemos]

Jimmy played every note perfectly in this, fantastic! I prefer the acoustic version, the delay on emilys vocals on live it out....well, trips me out.

[meepmeep43]

great!

[FantasyParadox]

The only thing that pisses me off is how she doesn't play.

Itd be alot cuter if she did.

[SGK531]

she plays the keyboard, if that counts.

[swtstprfctn]

mmmm, this version is nice. =)

[raquelface]

jimmy, you're so sexy! <333

what a rock star!

[ElWeasle]

The glasses do make her look silly, which she doesn't. Damn fashion...

[Rybry]

love this song
