It amazes me how Emily's voice can sound so fierce in some songs and so gentle in others, like this one. The last few lines about the ghosts are lovely. c:
I'm sick, you're tired Let's dance Break to love, make lust I know it isn't I'm sick, you're tired Let's dance, dance, dance Cold as numbers but let's dance As though it were easy for you to lead me I could be passive, gracefully Half the horizon's gone Skyline of numbers Half the horizon's gone Working the numbers 'Til I'm sick Sleep don't pacify us until daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in Dizzy when we talk so fast Fields of numbers streaming past I wish we were farmers I wish we knew how to grow sweet potatoes and milk cows I wish we were lovers But it's for the best Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost "Where is the love?" Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost "Who here is in line for a raise?" Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost "Where is the love?" Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost "Who put these bodies between us?"
this is one of the most beautiful songs ever fr fr
Agree.

Love the song and the way she says potatoes.
SAME THE ONLY RESON I LISTEN TO IT SOMETIMES IS TO HEAR POTATOES
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost... Who put these bodies between us?
I'm sick, you're tired
Let's dance
Break to love, make lust
I know it isn't
I'm sick, you're tired
Let's dance, dance, dance
Cold as numbers but let's dance
As though it were easy for you to lead me
I could be passive, gracefully
Half the horizon's gone
Skyline of numbers
Half the horizon's gone
Working the numbers
'Til I'm sick
Sleep don't pacify us until daybreak sky lights up the grid we live in
Dizzy when we talk so fast
Fields of numbers streaming past
I wish we were farmers
I wish we knew how to grow sweet potatoes and milk cows
I wish we were lovers
But it's for the best
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Where is the love?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Who here is in line for a raise?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Where is the love?"
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost
"Who put these bodies between us?"
I love it. Metric is my new favorite band of the moment.
The video's so weird. I love it.
these lyrics are fucking amazing
14 years ago oml feel like I’ve found a time machine
I've always had suck a hard time understanding Metric's older music videos. But it's a kick-ass song nonetheless so it doesn't bother me.
Sounds kinda like a retro video game made for the NES lol
yes
that was trippy
No, Toronto based.
