I heard their acoustic version of this song first on Wits (NPR) and I like it much better. I just sat there listening and thinking, "The gall of this song to be so simple and yet sound so good..." It was mesmerizing. I'm hooked!
I don't use to say "what a beautiful voice" 'couse there are many "beautiful voices" around the world... but her voice (and the way she sings) is so emotional
I'm 6'3 burly surly and crying tears being moved hearing this version of this song for the first time. She's got so much emotion pouring out of that voice it's so powerful
Wow, you guys are awesome! Emily, I met you in Minneapolis very briefly at the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis--you won't remember-but you and your band mates are among my favorite rock'n'rollers. Thanks! Keep it up and I will continue to support you! "Old world underground, where are you now?"
emily and jimmy make a very nice duo and the metric songs they play together acoustically give me chills. On that note I just bought tickets for the calgary show Nov 14.
oh my god this is so badass somehow better than the digital synth version? in some ways. I would _love_ to hear Clone done like this. I bought a record player just so I buy the original Metric vinyls xD
The piano chords during "is this my life" sound a lot like the piano part from the Beatles A Day in the Life, have to wonder if that is intentional. Metric has so many nods to the classic rock stuff in their music.
I'm the blade You're the knife I'm the wind You're the kite They were right when they said We were breathing underwater Out of place all the time In a world that wasn't mine to take I'll wait, is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? I'm the blade You're the knife I'm the wind You're the kite They were right when they said We should never meet our heroes When they bow at their feet In the end it wasn't me Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Lights of days Will beat a path through the mirrored maze I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Am I breathing underwater? Am I breathing underwater?
ah thank you so much! I wish I had that kind of musical talent! :) Im gonna try this right away - just have to try and figure out the picking/strummimg pattern haha
It's nine o'clock a.m. and my day started so good with this song :D It's a truly pleasure to listen to you. Everytime when I listen to this it sounds even more and more beautiful... Mahogany: I hate you! I should learn for exam right now but I can't go away from TH-cam because of you! ;)
This song gives me chills, I can't stop listening to it. Metric should really release this entire album unplugged, I would definitely buy it.
Me too
Their acoustic versions are the best.

That unique voice of hers doing all the heavy lifting and good lyrics, goes a long way. Love her voice.
Incredible
I don't use to say "what a beautiful voice" 'couse there are many "beautiful voices" around the world... but her voice (and the way she sings) is so emotional
I have to say it again, lyrical genius, pure talent.
This truly is one of the most beautiful songs available to the human ear.
This is my favorite rendition of this song. Just simply a guitar, piano, and one of the most amazing vocalists out there!
I spent like 3 min figuring them out by ear, here you go :)
Verse: G Bm Em C
Refrain: C Em Bm D Em
Interlude: C Em C Em
Good work, ol' chum. You saved me three hours.
Thanks!
Very well done
I have been a huge fan for awhile but this is the best i have heard from them. Metric is dope
dope like pope soap on a rope
I'm 6'3 burly surly and crying tears being moved hearing this version of this song for the first time. She's got so much emotion pouring out of that voice it's so powerful
Everything's so perfect about this video. The music, the ambiance, the background... it's just all there.
"You're the knife."
This song is always pleasant.
Wow....I love this version....Really sweet! Instrumentally this beautiful!
Emily you are a gift to us all
She is incredible so much soul

Wow this is just amazing! Love you Metric, love you Emily, Love you Canada!
oh my..this version is so much perfect. brought tears to my eyes ;( I'm watching Batb S1 again...
So much talent. Metric unplugged is beautiful.
Huge Metric fan! Can't wait for the new album!
They just played this live at Not So Silent Night. All the feels.
Simply beautiful. Lovely musical interlude between verses. Ah, the mirrored maze...
Gorgeously delicate, you angels.
this is my first time hearing of metric and i really enjoy this song!
A nice intimate feel in this session.
Her voice is still amazing in 24
oh my god this is so badass
somehow better than the digital synth version? in some ways. I would _love_ to hear Clone done like this.
I bought a record player just so I buy the original Metric vinyls xD
Me too! Clone is one of the best of this album, together with Artificial Nocturn
nice to see the utter joy in Emily's singing...
I miss VinCat #BATB!!! This song is beautiful!!!
I’m not crying.. YOU’RE crying!
The piano chords during "is this my life" sound a lot like the piano part from the Beatles A Day in the Life, have to wonder if that is intentional. Metric has so many nods to the classic rock stuff in their music.
This is pure magic.
I love this song!
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the wind
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn't mine to take
I'll wait, is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the wind
You're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bow at their feet
In the end it wasn't me
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Lights of days
Will beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
Am I breathing underwater?
Such a pretty voice
Yes....agreed can't stop listening to it...

What a beautiful voice!
What sweet sadness in this performance
This song literally brings me to 😭 I hope things change for me… soon.
looking up new artists I heard about always ends up with The Mahogany Sessions who obviously found them first ! ;)
Wow what a band, reminds me of the Pixies and or Sonic Youth fab!
Breathtaking, even better than the album version.
Beauty And The Beast Brought Me Here ❤
What you thing Suzanne! Right slow like
OH MY GOSH THE PIANO AUGHH I CAN'T

i dont know..but i agree, i want them. sick as hell!!
soothing voice.... amazing!
I'll never be the same again
My life belongs to Metric...
It's nine o'clock a.m. and my day started so good with this song :D
It's a truly pleasure to listen to you.
Everytime when I listen to this it sounds even more and more beautiful...
Mahogany: I hate you! I should learn for exam right now but I can't go away from TH-cam because of you! ;)
Magic
Beauty and the Beast bought me here to this amazing song:')
tear jerker
Emily is such an intelligent, musical, babe! Jimmy too :)

hrd dis on beauty nd the beast
This is fucking amazing. Gives me chills
beauty and the beast brought me here
i fucking love Metric!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Should be an acoustic band
Boa demais
Dreaming.
i rarely like the guitar + piano combo but they fucking ace it!
I hope when she says "I can see the end" she doesn't mean of her life or musical career because that would be a serious tragedy.
Everyone dies eventually...its what makes living worthwhile
💚
Is this song my life?
Man where can I get the chords for this version
✌🙃
I can't find this version of the song, only the faster-paced one. How can I get this version of it?
does anyone know the tabs to this song on guitar? I can't find any, but I neeeeed to learn how to play this!
they should have of of the guys playing the synth to create contrast : Unplugged meets electronic
Cool
Fucking incredible!
Her profile kind of makes her look like Joan Cusack
