The conclusion to one of my all time favorite albums. Starting with Our Hell, a cynical decision to walk alone, the rest of the album meanders through solitude, burnout, sexual suicide, all leading to the admission, "What's a wolf without a pack?" Absolutely brilliant.
The last meeting I had to sit through, was with my boss, and he was delivering an exceptionally well-spoken analogy on "winning". I lost my job today, due to circumstances that are out of my control, essentially I was laid off. The woman I love is 6000 miles away, and I'm trying to keep my wits about me, trying to dream of her every night. I've never missed another human being this much before. I'll attack tomorrow with a "winning" stance, but today, I accept reality. All I gotta say, is this is the best version "winning" I've heard all day.
I hope u are in a better place these years later. My best friend that overdosed in 2015 had made me a whole lot of mixed cds and this song was on there and i have played it to death. It's now on my Amazon music playlist.
to never open a book always reading a magazine out-spent, betting if it looks like women you haven’t been knives don’t have your back i wait and i count the knives don’t have your back i wait and i count to the last breath we take what we make doesn’t make sense what’s a wolf without a pack open your chest and take the heart from it open your chest what’s bad, we’ll fix it what’s wrong, we’ll make it all right all right, it’s gone, we’ll find it takes so long, we’ve got time all the time some part of you too small to lose some part of you too small to lose all of us, all of you all of us, all of you counting to the last breath we take what we make, doesn’t make sense what’s a wolf without a pack open your chest and take the heart from it when you talk, can i tape you how’d you get what we don’t know we don’t know how to help only know how to hump nose to the grindstone grindstone to the ground don’t even visit that place they’ll sharpen their teeth on your smile i’m glad you didn’t all our songs will be lullabies in no time what’s bad, what’s wrong make it all right all right, it’s gone, so long we’ve got time, all the time all the time
I don't understand how I've never heard Emily Haines solo music or Broken Social Scene before today...she is an absolute genuis! I've liked Metric (mostly their acoustic stuff) for a long time, but her solo stuff is 100 times better! I first came across Metric covering Elliott Smith, because I'm a huge Elliott fan. I think is on par with Elliott...and I have a portrait of him tattooed on my forearm!
This was this last thing my ex girlfriend sent me, not of her own choice. It was an insult and it was the moment I knew I had to ghost her. I wouldn't normally do that, but this girl is the devil. That being said, this song is sublime and beautiful and I adore Emily Haines for the music she's given me.
I want to meet her one day. I'm a teen who writes songs and is told every day my genre is dead. I want to know how she conjured the ghost of John Lennon to help create this album. Haha

The way this song makes me feel, still the same emotions years later
I absolutely love Emily Haines

@@LizzyDeeAgape better today, I have a new job, we got married on New Years right before COVID hit the west, and we just bought a new 🏠
to never open a book
always reading a magazine
out-spent, betting if it looks like women you haven’t been
knives don’t have your back
i wait and i count
the knives don’t have your back
i wait and i count to the last breath we take
what we make doesn’t make sense
what’s a wolf without a pack
open your chest and take the heart from it
open your chest
what’s bad, we’ll fix it
what’s wrong, we’ll make it all right
all right, it’s gone, we’ll find it
takes so long, we’ve got time
all the time
some part of you
too small to lose
some part of you
too small to lose
all of us, all of you
all of us, all of you
counting to the last breath we take
what we make, doesn’t make sense
what’s a wolf without a pack
open your chest and take the heart from it
when you talk, can i tape you
how’d you get what we don’t know
we don’t know how to help
only know how to hump
nose to the grindstone
grindstone to the ground
don’t even visit that place
they’ll sharpen their teeth on your smile
i’m glad you didn’t
all our songs will be lullabies in no time
what’s bad, what’s wrong
make it all right
all right, it’s gone, so long
we’ve got time, all the time
all the time
This is what perfection sounds like

I love Elliott and Emily too 💕
She is a national treasure ❤ 🇨🇦
Sadly, I doubt most Canadians even know it. They're too buzzy with bells and whistles 🍭
TE AMO SIEMPRE EMILY
beautiful voice!
Absolutely spellbinding. I like big theif as well .
por qué esto es tan hermosoo

Sometimes completely exiting a situation is the best for you and your mental health... Emily Haines has gotten me through some shit..

It feels, to me anyway, like she had the support of more potent spirits than his.
Music is subjective. Never forget that. If it sounds good to you, it will sound good to others.
I saw Metric live and it was great, but not solo Emily. That'd be amazing to see though!!
We’ll find it, takes so long. We’ve got time, all the time… man
Me encanta. ❤
K. Flay brought me here ... :) but I've definitely been a Metric fan before.
PeepsILoveEllie I know that she coverd Lost Kitten and I loved her version!!! Did she cover any other songs? What did she say about this song??
what’s a wolf without a paack
there's not one song of hers I hate
I wonder if you still listen to this, Dalton...
Are ya winning son/daughter?
