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 😢
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 :-)
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've seen all the demons that you've got. If you're not alright, now c'mon baby I'll pick you up and take you where you want." OMG! I could cry right now. But then I wouldn't be able to stop, and that would just ruin this marathon of Metric I've got going here.
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!
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 cannot get this song out of my head in the best kind of way. I'm probably responsible for at least a couple hundred of the 700,000 views. And yes....she has the most natural and amazing "unadulterated" voices I've ever heard!
wow..that was amazing..what a soft voice..i liked the song so much.."Metric" i will remember the name..anyway..thanks for sharing such a beautiful song..keep it up_^
I love that she sounds the same on her recordings and in person. I don't know what I would do without their music.
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 😢
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.
Metric: the only band whose songs can never be overplayed or unwanted.
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
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 very literally had shivers run down my spine listening to this. I can't believe how good they sound in this setting... Serious talent.
i'm in love
in love with this song, her voice, their performance chemistry....just everything this band does is so beautiful
Metric is amazing. Emily Haines has the most beautiful voice ever, and this song shows it.
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
The best song ever in my life since 2009 :) ...
This is my favorite song of all time. Hands down.
I wish I could "Like" this song more than once. So good!
This performance was legendary.. I love them so much.
she really is an amazing artist. The whole band too. I can't wait for the next album!
I fucking love this chicks voice. so not typical, so much feeling. shes awesome.
tfw you see the date and realize this was a decade ago
:(
Closer to 20 now 🤯

Not only does Emily have an amazin voice but so does Jimmy!!! This verson is magical!!!

That harmony... wow.
Amazing voice. Calm and confident.
The part I love best about this video is their harmonies together. Their voices are perfect complements
The smile right at the end makes this video 100% perfect - Gives it a quality you can't quite describe, but really love.
I am just starting to appreciate this band. I hear they're stuff on the radio and I am always turning it up.
I love this song and this band! Jimmy and Emily seem to have great chemistry... That makes for great music! Beautifully done!
Her little intro is adorable! They are so amazing live, wow
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

This is so relaxing why can't all music be this peaceful!
weirdly into my YT feed, but i would still hug them both as they are the coolest Mofos
beautiful song, I love the lyrics, they kind of describe my life at the moment...
2:48 •goosebumps• & when she sings “want” it’s so comforting 🥹
As far as Metric's acoustic versions go, this is one of their most natural and beautiful.
One of my favourite Metric deep cuts
"I'll pick you up and take you where you want"
all love
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 :-)
Thank God for noncommercial radio and the internet.
I love Her. So inspirational and so got me through a lot of rough times.
I love the way these two breathe together.
Wow, i didn't think the album version could get any better. Amazing.
Dam, that was incredible. I Never really paid attention to Metric before but that duet was top notch.
omg, i was not ready for the amazingness these two produce
I can not get over how amazingly well-constructed her lyrics are.....
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
Some people do know things about music but just have a creative mind too.
Emily Haines is perfection ❤
That vocal unison in their harmony at about 2:41 is really something.
playing along to this is one of the best feelings
i love love love love love 2:54 as soon as she hits that high note my heart melts
she is amazing live!
I love the way Jimmy looks at her when they play. They definitely compliment each other.
first time hearing them, very impressed with neat performance for such a difficult (and beautiful also) song.
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.
this music keeps u alive! love this
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. :)
This is so, achingly lovely. Really calms you down!
"I've seen all the demons that you've got.
If you're not alright, now c'mon baby
I'll pick you up and take you where you want."
OMG! I could cry right now. But then I wouldn't be able to stop, and that would just ruin this marathon of Metric I've got going here.
She's got a fantastic voice for this type of music.
Seeing them tonight!! Cant wait!!
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!
the eye-glance communication among musicians is a kind of love, but it's totally non-sexual and full of poetry
o my such beautiful voices :D
i can't help but listen to this over and over again..
my favorite musical discoveries of the past year
I saw them in New Orleans on the 29th of Sept. at The Republic, THEY WERE AMAZING!!!! AWESOME SHOW!
the vocals at 2:52 at that bridge are amazing....goose bumps every time...
You are so amazing. I cannot even describe.
I just them on the radio and i already love them :')
She has a beautiful voicee.
What an amazing duo
Ugh they are SOO AMAZING! Painfully awesome this band is.
This song makes me feel sumthing really different, i just love it.
I love how in their acoustic versions Jimmy and Emily always turn to each other when they're both singing.
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 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 sound amazing when they harmanize :)
I cannot get this song out of my head in the best kind of way. I'm probably responsible for at least a couple hundred of the 700,000 views. And yes....she has the most natural and amazing "unadulterated" voices I've ever heard!
Perfect. I love her.
Great songwriting.
beautiful song & video... & of course her voice :)
wow. blown away.
they are fucking amaze. love how they look at each other when they're singing
I love this beautiful song.
This will never not be outstanding.
Probably some of the best Canadian talent right there, i love metric :] .
I think their acoustic stuff is incredible. WoW A+
