    It's strange, how this preview is, for me, the best version of the song I've heard. It's almost perfect.

    Just love accoustic versions of songs. As they, Jimmy and emily have said, the song has to pass "the camp fire test" whoch means it souds great accoustically as well as all decked out with the full band and instruments, this is one of those songs, as all metric song are. Great job. Having played guitar, I have an appreciation. For accountic music as well.

    Metric NEEDS to release an acoustic version of Fantasies in its entirety. I saw them at a free show in Albany NY where they played 6 songs off it on acoustic/piano. The new album didn't grab me until I had heard the songs in acoustic form. Emily's voice shines through best like this when its not all overproduced. The nuances in her beautiful voice need to be heard, not masked with all the studio processing and behind millions of synthesizers.

    I love this... it has a very REAL quality to it... something that most music is lacking nowadays... here is music in its raw un-adulterated form and its beautiful just the way it is.

    She's Come Undone is referencing a Guess Who song. Too bad they didn't keep those lyrics, but I imagine it was a decision to make the lyrics more accessible to the public. Referencing a Beatles song as opposed to the Guess Who song Undun.

    LOVE this song. LOVE it. Her voice is perfect for it, and I like their style, too. They remind me of everything that was best about being young. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the cool factor meter, I'd give them a 15.

    I have their newest album "Fantasies" and the lyrics are "Come on baby, play me something like 'Here Comes the Sun'." If YOU were a real fan and actually HAD the album (which includes lyrics to every song), YOU would know. However, bands have poetic license to change the lyrics however they wish when performing. That being said, the published lyrics are "like Here Comes the Sun"(a Beatles' song). Also, Emily JUST referenced them in asking who you would rather be - them or the Rolling Stones. . .

    @MJCastellanos... its a song by The Guess Who...one of their more famous ones. I assume Emily changed it to "here comes the sun" to connect to the line with beatles. However, The Guess Who are Canadian (as is metric), so maybe thats why it was the original lyrics? pretty interesting though...

    I'm not sure of the model/number but it's referred to as a "Jumbo" style body shape...that one has maple back & sides. If you google Gibson and go to their website, you should be able to search their Jumbo models and find it...but get ready for a high price tag!! Like 2-3K!!Epiphone makes one very similar for around $400 and sells in Sam Ash music stores or online

    latinavip, you're basically saying "only real fans would know that they changed the lyrics and melodies a lot until the finished product was released". Music is there for everyone to enjoy, not just the fans who NEED to know everything about a band they want to follow. The fact that liltwistedangel69 (and I don't agree with her statement - she/he should have researched it) even knew Emily's name shows that she/he is SOMEWHAT of a fan. Dont tell fellow music lovers to stfu. You kill the fan base
