Metric: the only band whose songs can never be overplayed or unwanted.
I was 18 when this came out and watched it all the time. I can remember exactly what I was going through and experiencing during that time. So much nostalgia 😢
I love that she sounds the same on her recordings and in person. I don't know what I would do without their music.
This song helped me with a difficult time in my life. I would’ve been 12 when this came out. I still remember when I first heard it
Been stuck on Metric ever since I started listening to them a little more than 2 years ago. Always going to be a fan. It's all so good.
tfw you see the date and realize this was a decade ago

Closer to 20 now 🤯
Metric is amazing. Emily Haines has the most beautiful voice ever, and this song shows it.
I fucking love this chicks voice. so not typical, so much feeling. shes awesome.
Crazy how some people were just born to create music. Even crazier how those same talented people are all underrated. Proud to be Canadian !
The best song ever in my life since 2009 :) ...
I very literally had shivers run down my spine listening to this. I can't believe how good they sound in this setting... Serious talent.
That harmony... wow.
I wish I could "Like" this song more than once. So good!
i'm in love in love with this song, her voice, their performance chemistry....just everything this band does is so beautiful
This is my favorite song of all time. Hands down.
Thank God for noncommercial radio and the internet.
Not only does Emily have an amazin voice but so does Jimmy!!! This verson is magical!!!
The part I love best about this video is their harmonies together. Their voices are perfect complements
Amazing voice. Calm and confident.
By the way, props to the whoever it was who set up the sound for this performance at spin. Its so clear you can hear every inflection of Emily's voice and the subtle squeak of Jimmy's fingers moving along the neck. Really captured a side of Metric you don't get to see or hear in the studio recorded material. I'm so impressed (then jealous, then just impressed again) with their talent as a musicians, especially Emily's heart felt songwriting and immaculate yet natural vocal delivery.
she really is an amazing artist. The whole band too. I can't wait for the next album!
Come back here from time to time to remind myself how high the bar is for beauty in a song. This is my metric
I always thought that! He looks at her with such respect, love, and longing. He looks like he's in love with her but she doesn't feel the same.
Listened to this video over 10 years ago and here I am again, I remembered the name of the song and video and wow I’m just mesmerized all over again
Oh wow, this version of the song is just incredible. I love the album version, too, but this one takes the cake. I can't stop listening to this album...
I am just starting to appreciate this band. I hear they're stuff on the radio and I am always turning it up.
This performance was legendary.. I love them so much.
As far as Metric's acoustic versions go, this is one of their most natural and beautiful.
One of my favourite Metric deep cuts
This right here proves without a doubt that you don't need a million dollar setup to have a million dollar sound. The acoustics of the room = FANTASTIC They should perhaps record and release an all-acoustic album along with a few 'new' releases. IT.WOULD.BE.HUUUUUUUUUGE!
Her little intro is adorable! They are so amazing live, wow
"I'll pick you up and take you where you want" all love
2:48 •goosebumps• & when she sings “want” it’s so comforting 🥹
This is the most amazing version of Twilight Galaxy I've ever heard, it was the first version I ever heard, and the second Metric song I ever listened to. Now, I know every lyric to every song of theirs, and even Emily's first solo album "Cut in Half and Also Double". Metric continues to amaze me every day of the week, every moment of the year.
Emily Haines is perfection ❤
That vocal unison in their harmony at about 2:41 is really something.
I love this song and this band! Jimmy and Emily seem to have great chemistry... That makes for great music! Beautifully done!
I like acoustic versions better than the normal ones. You can really focus on the lyrics and it brings a lot more passion to the song and listeners. Great Job.
This is so relaxing why can't all music be this peaceful!
The smile right at the end makes this video 100% perfect - Gives it a quality you can't quite describe, but really love.
Duo name--> 5 Decimeters
this song is too beautiful to have hundreds of thousands of views... this video deserve millions of views... in fact, this is much much better than the original song
I went and watched the original version being played on MySpace just for kicks, and the video was absolutely FLOODED with people saying how much they hate the final version!
Some people do know things about music but just have a creative mind too.
they are fucking amaze. love how they look at each other when they're singing
I love the way Jimmy looks at her when they play. They definitely compliment each other.
the way they sing together is so intimate. they could almost be a couple!
She's got a fantastic voice for this type of music.
I love the way these two breathe together.
I can not get over how amazingly well-constructed her lyrics are.....
Man do I like her voice. Just listened to this about 10 times. It's a good thing people at work know I'm a little eccentric. :)
Emily Haines is an amazing artist and an absolute babe.
I also have to add that this song brings me back to when I was a little boy where life was such an adventure and people were not strangers but friends not yet discovered. Thanks for bringing me back. -William :-)
I love how in their acoustic versions Jimmy and Emily always turn to each other when they're both singing.
Her voice is so endearing in this song.
Dam, that was incredible. I Never really paid attention to Metric before but that duet was top notch.
beautiful song, I love the lyrics, they kind of describe my life at the moment...
Wow, i didn't think the album version could get any better. Amazing.
I love Her. So inspirational and so got me through a lot of rough times.
She's so awkward it's amazing. I watch this like once a day

I must be awkward as hell as I do not sense awkwardness of her. Pure genuine beauty, this gal is ❤️
i love love love love love 2:54 as soon as she hits that high note my heart melts
the eye-glance communication among musicians is a kind of love, but it's totally non-sexual and full of poetry
omg, i was not ready for the amazingness these two produce
Beautiful fucking song this version is so much better
I love her
The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.
playing along to this is one of the best feelings
the guitarist came in with laser precision.. amazing
i love her voice, it's really calming. and it doesn't seem like she really has to try that hard to make that voice come out of her. also i think i like this acoustic version better the original, but the original is still good.
i watch this every day.
They should SOOOOOOOOOOOOO do an acoustic album.
Seeing them tonight!! Cant wait!!
freaking ADORE her
What an amazing duo
"doing it wrong, singing along" I like those lyrics
theyre amazing.
I saw them in New Orleans on the 29th of Sept. at The Republic, THEY WERE AMAZING!!!! AWESOME SHOW!
Those snowball mics sound way better than I thought they would.
the vocals at 2:52 at that bridge are amazing....goose bumps every time...
I simply luv 'em!!!
i can't help but listen to this over and over again..
I love this song!
