The first time I heard this song I wept and I get teary. Still. Every. Single. Time. - it’s. One of my favourite songs. Ever. In. Life. If not THE. favourite!!!!
+LusatR Right you are; their nonchalant responses to each other makes it seem like Emily would say "great" to whatever Jimmy would have said lol. Then, they go on to perform with so much natural chemistry...the way Jimmy keeps time with Emily with his deadpan stare is always quite mesmerizing to follow along.
I'm following the sun That's setting in the West We're floating on a bed of fading lights A canopy of trees Bears witness to the breeze I'm falling like a feather, soft and light Baby, there's no better time No better time, baby, we can't find Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa With eternal love, the stars above All there is and ever was I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all A blade of grass, a grain of sand The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all The embers of a fire still burning as they die Stay bright to keep us side by side Baby, there's no better time No better time, baby, we can't find Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa With eternal love, the stars above All there is and ever was I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all A blade of grass, a grain of sand The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all With eternal love, the stars above All there is and ever was I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all A blade of grass, a grain of sand The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all We got the sunshine We got the shade We got temptation We got it made We got rewarded We got refused We got distorted We got confused We got the sunshine We got the shade I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all With eternal love, the stars above All there is and ever was I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all A blade of grass, a grain of sand The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all With eternal love, the stars above All there is and ever was I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all A blade of grass, a grain of sand The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand I want it all, I want it all I want it all, I want it all
Emily's voice is really what makes this band. No disrespect on the rest of the band, but bands have different standouts, usually it's the lead guitar, but this band, it's the lead singer.
Oh I just love this song so so much, it gives me shivers, every time I listen to it! 🙈 I really don't know which version to prefer, this one or the album version...
They said it occasionally: acoustic versions for them is like making a whole new song than the originals. Even if it has the same lyrics. Non of the songs are better for them, only different.
So i'm walkin' round the corner to the co-op in Nelson, and there is what is obviously the guitar player. ONLY - because he is wearing the change-up wig from their video. LOL (gimme sympathy!) - it's one thing to be wearing hair, but when you're wearing someone Else's hair!? ROFL Whaddya do?! Everybody’s got the right to try something on... Even be bad at it ; ) BUT he's being obviously eyeballed, and startin' towards that deer in the headlights look. So I said, "Nice video man - Oh Hey - if you're into visitin' Colin James has a place just up the valley ~Beauty Album!" His eyes kinda cleared, just smiled then nodded. hehehe - Hilarious!! ~you shoulda seen it! in broad daylight no less!
This is a decent version! But, I must say, its a bit creepy the way that guitarist dude (I'm sure one of you will tell me his name) keeps staring at Emily all through this. Take a break dude!!! Ya even creepin' me out!
haha yeah :P i used to think it was creepy when guitar players do that too until I realized they were just trying to keep time because not all singers like to/can stay on pace or they like to mix it up sometimes so guitarists watch for that. in the video you can hear that he does speed up and slow down quite a lot and so does she but its very subtle
Metric is criminally underrated.
Who would love a full album of acoustic Metric songs?
Plug in plug out?
The first time I heard this song I wept and I get teary. Still. Every. Single. Time. - it’s. One of my favourite songs. Ever. In. Life. If not THE. favourite!!!!
"Ready Jimmy?"
"I'm not."
"Great."
He actually says "I Am"
+SmytheSmythe I think didoma73 is making a joke, though the internet makes it hard to read at times.

mimi mimi it is kind of funny 👌
I kind of wish he said "I'm not." And she replied great. It would have been stellar. Anyways, 3 years later I appreciate you didoma73! Love ya
The more i saw other Metric songs other than Lost Kitten the more i like Metric songs
I'm following the sun
That's setting in the West
We're floating on a bed of fading lights
A canopy of trees
Bears witness to the breeze
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light
Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
The embers of a fire still burning as they die
Stay bright to keep us side by side
Baby, there's no better time
No better time, baby, we can't find
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
We got the sunshine
We got the shade
We got temptation
We got it made
We got rewarded
We got refused
We got distorted
We got confused
We got the sunshine
We got the shade
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
With eternal love, the stars above
All there is and ever was
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
A blade of grass, a grain of sand
The moonlit sea, I'll hold your hand
I want it all, I want it all
I want it all, I want it all
She writes some of the best lyrics. I wish more artists took this care into their lyrics.
This song makes happy tears. Wow & Thanks.
I want to marry her voice and wake up to it every morning and I would do what ever it tells me to do
Not sure why but this song makes me feel good, really like it for some reason.
I like this sooooooo much better than the album version...
I dont know. The album version is more "Metric", ya know? But this is awesome as well because Em is just amazing.
Emily's voice is really what makes this band. No disrespect on the rest of the band, but bands have different standouts, usually it's the lead guitar, but this band, it's the lead singer.
Jules on the drums is a machine though. He makes it a rock band.
love it when she sings deep
and props to the sound tech
Oh I just love this song so so much, it gives me shivers, every time I listen to it! 🙈 I really don't know which version to prefer, this one or the album version...
This live version is a total lullaby. Thanks for choosing to record them. :-)
is this her real voice? incredible singer..!
If you like this check out the acoustic version of Cascades
She is a siren and a starseed and I've noticed that all of my favorite vocalist are named Emily.
Pretty unreal, shivers everytime I hear her.
This song makes me sad :( but I love it..
I have tickets to see Metric. I feel so lucky... they're both so talented & I can't wait to see them live!
Damn, I love this! The regular version is great, but I always love acoustic. I hope the new album has this version as a bonus.
Emily is easily the BEST. VOCALIST. of her generation. Why is Metric not the biggest band in America?
damn what a voice
Wonderful voice, good play Jimmy! go on with your acoustics
This is absolutely beautiful.
Just incredible I love you Emily.
She has a really good voice
Saw them live in NOPTL, sounded the same! they are fantastic
goosebumps.
Fn awesome. What a voice.
Pure GOLD!!!!
i never new what she looked like i cant decide what more beautiful her or her voice
Perfect song. 👏 😍
I want it all ❣☺😍
великолепный голос!
U have to love this 💯
What an angel
Love this one and the album version! It was even better live :)
Love this tune, Love Metric, listening and watching this, this has got to be a very difficult song to sing live/acoustic like that...
I love it so much!
Beef? ....beef? (Good song!!!)
A really great live version!
Love this version

They said it occasionally: acoustic versions for them is like making a whole new song than the originals. Even if it has the same lyrics. Non of the songs are better for them, only different.
Her and Brandon flowers please!
His stare is so intense
So i'm walkin' round the corner to the co-op in Nelson, and there is what is obviously the guitar player. ONLY - because he is wearing the change-up wig from their video. LOL (gimme sympathy!) - it's one thing to be wearing hair, but when you're wearing someone Else's hair!? ROFL Whaddya do?! Everybody’s got the right to try something on...
Even be bad at it ; ) BUT he's being obviously eyeballed, and startin' towards that deer in the headlights look. So I said, "Nice video man - Oh Hey - if you're into visitin' Colin James has a place just up the valley
~Beauty Album!"
His eyes kinda cleared, just smiled then nodded. hehehe - Hilarious!!
~you shoulda seen it! in broad daylight no less!
She sounds almost better acoustic but either way top tier voice 🖤
She is lightning
good lord.
🥰
I love you emily
Is she wearing EQO shades when singing "The Shade"?!
Hey come on?! ONE dislike?! For the balance?! But it wasn´t me! :)
***** Lol, you scared it away!
Prime home!#!♡♡♡♡♡°360☆☆☆☆☆ I am!#!
i'm so old, i remember when bands didnt use protools and vocoders and ear monitors and ... omg wait.
I wish I was so focused on something as he is focused on her
And I want to give it to you..
This is a decent version! But, I must say, its a bit creepy the way that guitarist dude (I'm sure one of you will tell me his name) keeps staring at Emily all through this.
Take a break dude!!! Ya even creepin' me out!
roydagger He's just trying to make sure he's keeping time well enough with her
Alexandra Defreitas actually, thats a good point.
haha yeah :P i used to think it was creepy when guitar players do that too until I realized they were just trying to keep time because not all singers like to/can stay on pace or they like to mix it up sometimes so guitarists watch for that. in the video you can hear that he does speed up and slow down quite a lot and so does she but its very subtle
roydagger they're also dating so
sarah h. Ohh, they are..Ok, cool
Stunning beautiful voice. Don't like the songs though. The lyrics are way too simple, too cliché for me. But I guess tht's just me.
+Jakub Urbánek , well then, my friend, if you want to see Metric's true lyrics, look at the lyrics of "IOU" or any song from Grow Up and Blow Away
she uses a mike not some stupid head set. Metric is the best since the 1970'
