@@nohemiolivares555 nice no
Amazing show thanks for playing this
Love the Doomscoller... But this vid is such fun on the switcher-ooh
It's March 2021 and I just discovered this band a week ago. I am completely in love with them. I've heard every single song of theirs available on Spotify and now I'm watching their videos on CZcams. They have this air of hope around them. They make me feel hopeful and understood. Their music is just so heartwarming. I'm very glad I found them.
I want people to never stop discovering this song. It's so good.
Like where have you been all my life??? I know the feeling well.
Hey Metric are awesome, check out Chvrches, Stand Atlantic, Yours Truly, Grimes, Baby Metal, Redhook, Paramore, Alison Wonderland, Purity Ring, Hatchie, if you like this alternative stuff. :)
Go see them live sometime you will love them even more.
Same they are the best
Nothing beats falling in love with a band all over again.
+Scary7064 what about discovering a new band?
Crimson Vulpes That is great as well. There are new bands coming out of the wood work everyday. CZcams, Soundcloud and Band of the Day App are great places to get your ears on bands you wouldn't normally encounter.
try mother mother
the numbers of hours walking in the cold but not alone Metric with me!
Over and over again
This song brings back so much nostalgia, even after all these years it’s still so catchy
Same 💯
true
I feel like you're smarter than u lead on because it's one thing to leave a comment but your comment is above other comments that have way more likes. I leave a comment everywhere too but it just usually goes in the pile. I think you're doing something to at least have yours be seen more likely than anyone else's which is why you get the "i see you everywhere" reaction you get, also i don't care so much for this band im just looking for new music
@@XZ-III I don’t understand what u just said but trust me this band is worth listening to
oh my god you are also here
“We’re so close to something better left unknown” will be humanity’s epitaph
More like we found something better left unknown
Oh how true this statement is gonna be..
☢️🚀💥🛸👽🦠🪖💣🔫🌡️🌪️🔥❄️🌊☄️
truly. reminds me of Cats Cradle.
@Brendon Casarez what is this something that is better left unknown? Unsure if I ought to be asking but ...
This song gave me so much relief, years ago. For some reason, her saying: "you're gonna make mistakes, you know," helped me forgive myself. And I decided that I'd rather be the Beatles.
Yes yes YES!!! ⭐
The Beatles were done before they could become a parody of themselves as the Stones have.
Great comment! like ur take on the lyrics and how u applied it to events in ur life. be well my friend :)
@@losthalo428 stop
I went stones.
I love the simple music videos where it just has the band playing.
I love your avatar. Bioshock infinite!
Edmilson Rocha Lima should I buy that game...?
***** definitely yes! and DLC ar as good as the main game. Its a shame that you have to pay for them but its worth it
Legs please dont forget the legs
I'd like to thank that one person on Yahoo Answers who recommended this song to me. I'll never know who they were because their account was private and their username just showed up as a question mark, but it's a really good song and thank you.
Now this is what the internet was made for, making the world a better place
I discovered this on Reddit
She talks about anxiety and stuff...but in every video she seems so confident, like oozes confidence as the camera follows her, you wanna be her
You'd be amazed at what playing music on stage will do for someone's confidence.
Lots of great singers and actors have major anxiety issues. They can deal with it when they’re on stage or on camera, so you’d never suspect, but watch them just trying to have a conversation with someone they don’t know, and they’re suddenly the world’s biggest introvert.
@@rockoperajon I used to deal with very bad social anxiety, but for some reason I never had trouble performing on-stage. Same thing when it comes to dancing, moshing or stage diving at other bands' concerts. Music just removes my inhibitions I guess.
As Pete Townshend once wrote, the greatest motivator of the artist in me is my insecurities. He wrote that on that 1993 album Psychoderelict. A brilliant but flawed album the draws upon his experiences as an artist and from his many projects that failed to bring to light, like lifehouse.
Why isn’t this band a bigger deal?
"You're gonna make mistakes, you know" one of the best lines in the song. So human.
OMG! Ten years since they released this song, I feel nostalgic.
better album 2019
wow where the hell have I been damn
2009 is now 15 years ago wtf
I kinda suprised 10 years ago and your comment is 5 years ago. Then i check the video upload date. Wtf 15 years ago.
I miss when Canada had a proper music scene... I miss OG Much Music. When Canadian art/culture was unique and special and youth really followed it... Remember seeing bands like Metric, Bedouin Soundclash, Alexis etc in College and it was just a great time. Still great canadian bands out there, but they don't get the recognition they deserve, by other canadians.
Check out 'The Beaches'. Awesome Canadians!
In 2021, after so much pain, so much death, still here, asking you to gimme sympathy before the end. Here comes the sun, I know, it will come, yeah. Thank you Metric!
Get hot
Get too close to the flame
Wild open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I'll remember someday
All the chances we took
We're so close
To something better left unknown
We're so close
To something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?
The Beatles or The Rolling Stones?
Oh seriously, you're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"
Don't go
Stay with the all unknown
Stay away from the hooks
All the chances we took
We're so close
To something better left unknown
We're so close
To something better left unknown
I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who'd you rather be?

Oh seriously, you're gonna make mistakes, you're young
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"

Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"
Come on, baby, play me something, like "Here Comes The Sun"
My only regret was not listening to this band some years back when I had the chance. So many years wasted!!!!
So I guess 2009 wasn't too late after all!
What a bitch
Imagine being me and just NOW finding their music. Fuck.
Same! I only recently discovered them
Thats me, exactly now in 2021. 😣😣😣
I'm gonna see metric in July in Peterborough Canada
Free concert
The most under rated song of all time! She be up there with the best ever written. Can't help but dance as soon as the first chord is heard.
For high school graduation we all made a slide show with silly pictures with this song playing in the background. It's beeen over 10 years and it still makes me nostalgic
I love how Emily doesn't look like your typical musician - she has her own look and I love it
🎶🤺🎶🎧🎶🎶🎶
She even dabbled in fashion. She came up with a vest for mothers that has tons of pockets on the inside so you can be just strapped with baby supplies, and the way she described it, it's the most, mad, marvelous thing.
She is a real woman. Not all tattoo stained and inked up like a modern tramp.
She is beautiful.
💯👏🏽👏🏽
She's gorgeous.
I've only recently discovered this song in 2019 or 2020. Really chokes me up for some reason.
same bro
From the 1:00-1:30 mark- Why hasn't anyone put this part on a 24 hour loop? No CGI. No special effects. No explosions. Just 30 glorious seconds of Emily's gorgeous gams.
Her leg game is just hipnotizing.
Our new song ALL COMES CRASHING from our forthcoming album Formentera is out now. ⚡

I just discovered this band, and this has become my new favourite song, simple as that.
I love the old Metric, The new Metric and The Future Of Metric. Yay Metric
How the hell are these guys not a major hit in the mainstream?
lol loser
I'm very old but when I was a kid I used to fantasize about being in a band where everyone was super talented and we all liked/loved each other and the lead singer was gorgeous, had style, a bit of wicked attitude and miles of talent. This video makes me feel that way. I want to be in this band. Just the way she comes toward the stage... so excited to be with her guys and ready to really put on a show!
This song kept me from killing myself for about a four-year period between 2015 and 2019. It remains a source of life in 2020. Thank you, Metric.
The kids keep making me cry like I'm twelve and had a skinned knee. Thank you!
have been listening to metric for 10 years and i keep discovering such great music.......music keeps me alive....dont ever let go! you dont know what you would miss!
This band still slaps years later. Ever since the first hit of theirs "Gold Guns Girls", I've been in love with this band.🤩
That's wasn't their first hit, but go on
Love Metric.. (72 Y/0 here).
It's really refreshing to hear rock style music in clubs and on the radio. You can dance to this without being annoyed by the typical dance music. Theres a substance to this, it makes you feel something.
The part when the kids start running out the open door with the butterfly wings never fails to hit me RIGHT IN THE FUCKING FEELS.
Like, I legit start crying. Nobody's cutting onions or any weak-ass emotions-avoiding bullshit like that; this just sucker-punches me right in the soft, warm part of me that still defiantly exists despite 34 years of a not-easy life and a fucking global pandemic. Like a Roadrunner cartoon, it ignites a powder trail straight to my heart and causes it to explode in a burst of "holy shit, all is not lost".
Stay safe, kids. You're all we got now.
Same, bout made me burst into tears too
I can't believe this is 17 years old though, its crazy. I was just a kid when I listened to this and she was playing shows in Victoria. My first show ever was Hot Hot Heat when I was 13 as well. So much fun music back then.
If you knew what it really meant (mk ultra Monarch program) you'd be pissed instead. And the kids at the end is disturbing, knowing some musicians sacrifices children in satanic rituals to get what they want. They're all going down now.
@@billymilligan1045 Are you lost?
That said, Epstein didn't kill himself (and Ghislaine Maxwell isn't long for this world, mark my words), but don't you fucking dare suggest that Metric is involved with those fuckers without undeniable proof.
Sometimes a great music video is just a great music video. Get offline once in a while.
This is fucking amazing right???
And...back again
Their songs are really rich and textured. I like these guys a lot.
I don't know any band that would've surprised me so much as Metric. Every single song is a pleasure to my ears, love it
Literally I can't love you guys more.
Haven't heard this song in like a year or two, but it's been playing in my head over the last week or so. Such a great song.
This entire album were just pure bangers. Really rare to find one like that, and it made me love them forever, even if I havent sat down and listened to one of their songs in years
I can't get enough of this song....
i absolutley love emilys voice! the whole band is fantastic!
I can't put into words how much I love this song. Not simply because it is amazing on it's own, but also because of the memories I have linked to it.
The sound that all pop music lacks...heart.
Amen. I Love this song. It's one of my favorite alternative songs.
One of my favourite videos of all time. SO trippy and clever.
This music is so flowing and refreshing...
I love this girl...great music! Sooo many good songs.....so rare these days!!!
One of my favorite songs.
In love with this song since 2009! Bring me teenage memories.
I was 6 when I heard this awesome song. 10 years later and I finally found it. It brings back good memories of my childhood..
I cannot for the life of me remember what show or movie I heard this song. I was just singing the chorus lol. I know I heard this song years ago but never thought about it 😂
I don't know why, but I seriously love how they mix the members between different instruments... it's simple but really awesome
This song is actually pretty healing. Thanks metric for this cool piece :)
Just saw them in concert this past Friday....this song is still so damn awesome live!!!
Metric is a great band , they reach to so many people on so many different levels .
this song takes me back to a day i would call "one of the best days of my life".i spent all day missing that wholesome feeling and coming back to this video every single day, somehow, fills a part of me. i wish i could stay forever in that day.
Just saw y’all in Boston a couple nights ago and I’m so happy you played this song. It always makes me tear up - ever since hearing it in San Marcos, TX years ago when y’all played it at Float Fest.
My favorite song by Metric. I can’t wait to grab the new album.
2009 was the best year for all the artists, that year was great♥
Ugh I love this song so much and I can't believe how long it's already been since it was a new song. Ugh so special to me. All of their music too.
Still hear this on the radio now and again- twice on my run to Montréal last week. Great song.
i remember the first time i listened to them, 12 years ago! it was pure love and this music's album still fascinates me even today 💖
"Oh seriously........come on baby play me a song like Here Comes the Sun..."
Love this song, makes me feel like dancing.
Seeing Metric, Spoon and Interpol this summer in Toronto. I saw Metric in 2006 when I went to U of T and they played a shot on campus. I can't wait to see them again!
I was at Metic's concert last night in London ON, and teared up from this song. That was the first time I have heard this song and it compelled me to youtube it.
Always loved the children running around the band then escaping into the light, my favorite is the girl who runs then stops and turns back.
So, who would you rather be ?
This video needs a high quality update because this is seriously great stuff.
Damn! 15 years already and I still go nuts singing this aloud!
I had five music videos on my iPod during the war. This was one of them. I was so in love with her. This song brought me such joy
I love this song. I found it years ago and yet every time it comes on my playlist, it seems new and exciting. I have 3000 songs on daily rotation and this is the only track that does that for me. Just brilliant!
Perhaps THIS Fresh "New and Exciting" Sensation you're appreciating occurs because Emily's Songwriting seems to Capture, Personify and Engage us, METRIC's Listeners?
We seem Open and SO Easily Lead by her storyline and identify?
It's THIS Comparative Vision: Two MONSTER BANDS that have surely SHAPED US... [historically]
Any Thoughts?
Curious... As This Song's Story sure Draws me in, Too...
Thank You for considering my impression...
Thank You
Should I play the sympathy card? timothy lawsuit.... 6 months hospital... false arrest 6 months hospital.... stole a bottle of water/SOURCE INVISIBLE GOD ABOVE Y2 MUTATION..... $1 lawsuit all damages to charity.... 5% to Timothy to make amends. congratulations on becoming a decamillionaire given the U.S. Government and hospital systems would gladly settle for 50 mil... no hush money.... no settlement... trial! deposition.... Eric Wilson plaintiff. U.S. Government defendant.. arrest Miranda charges rights..... expunge mock trial Media Court House unconstitutional... not present and a violation of My 6th amendment rights....
So excited to finally see them live in in the US THIS YEAR!!!! 2022 tour 🎉🎉🎉
I somehow NEVER forgot this videoclip. It's engraved in my memories. The video and the line "Play me something like 'Here Comes The Sun'". The children with fairy wings at the end was somehow even more memorable than everything else, there's something so pure to it.
After all this is done, who'd you rather be, the Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
I also need to add after seeing many music videos in my life this one is one of my top favorites. Innovative idea, authentic, complements the song while producing an interesting and entertaining video without the need to a lot BS over production. The costume changes were NOT CG! Just great planning and shooting.
The kids in butterfly wings at the end is just the cherry on top.
This song makes me feel very emotional... It's not even a sad song it's just the vibe of it and the power of Emily's words trying to lift up our spirit after a hard time, having experience something bad, or even when you are at a state where you can't see any light.... 'after all this is gone, who would you rather be?' It's as if she tells you to look forward for the better days and she reassures you that whatever is happening to you now will pass and urges us to focus on the exciting part that awaits.
This is one of the many aspects of this song!

i'll never get sick of this song
This song will forever be legendary
My Best Band Ever!!!!!Brings back So Many Memories Boy o Boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!Rock on Guys!xxxxxxxxxxxxxs
I love Metric they give me a sense of freedom. When I feel really heavy. People who I love can say simple things like they care of my well-being, that's how simple I am and they will have my attention. Then it takes one mean act and I add my twist and Na I don't roll that way. I'll roll the right way with you. Idk anymore. I just realised I'm a forgiving person. If I consider you I mean it. If I say I love you I mean it. I'm not perfect but I never expected you to be either. FML

Wow. I haven't heard this song in probably 7 or 8 years. Still love it!
For these ten years... THANK YOU!
Also, the video of All Yours that starts a completely black screen and has an orchestra and Emily Haines playing piano and singing gives me goosebumps when I hear and watch it!
We really need an HD version of this amazing song
Does music get any more fun than this? Emily Haines is easily one the hottest talents in music ! Her alone is a visual and vocal treat.
Heard this song for the 1st time 10 years ago when I had decided to leave everything and started traveling. Never been on a plane. Never been out of state. I was scared shitless and this song just pushed me through it.
God I miss Metric! Hopefully I can see them live again 😊
1:04 I love the way she dances!!!
¡Es una de mis canciones favoritas! ¡Me hace sentir mariposas!
god this song is so aligned and brought so many tears and healing to me, the pheonix always rises. So much love y'all for all the work you do!
Emily is gorgeous and crazy talented. Amazing, real woman.
the beatles and the rolling stones are both awesome and irreplaceable and so is metric
So, when I was around 16-18 I would constantly be playing this band on my heaadphones as I walked from one place to another - they never left my side, always in the mix.
I haven't heard a single song in about 10 years and the memory OF the band came back to me by chance.. it didnt take shape or form, but knew I was going to persist and remember so that I can retouch on such fond memories... The Metric, thank you!
I was 12 when I discovered this song... Man, I don't feel old but this song reminds me we all have young souls
I totally love the concept of having the band members lipsyncing.
Watched them play their first show in Eugene OR last night, Damn was that amazing.
Dude, mind is blown right now....that's deep.
One of my favorite all time bands - would love to see them.
I so love the bass groove during the hook XD
i remember this song from a game i played years ago. i’m so glad to have finally found it again
Which game?
always love to see it
Going to see them for the first time tonight in peterborough ontario 👌🎸
Les confieso que el álbum Fantasies es el mejor que he escuchado de todos y siento una gran nostalgia.
