Metric - “Help I’m Alive (Acoustic)”
Posting a Metric song probably isn’t terribly cutting edge, since they already have a large following (although going double platinum in Canada just doesn’t have the same ring to it). I was a big fan of their last album Live It Out when it came out a few years ago. Their sound is feminine, dark, and political, which appeals to a very specific niche I adore. Their new album Fantasies is coming out April 14, and I’ve been hearing “Help I’m Alive”, the first single, all over my satellite radio. I recently discovered that Metric made an acoustic version available for download on their website, and since I enjoyed hearing an alternate version of the track, I thought you all might too. Plus, it’s an excuse to post a picture of Emily Haines, who I have to admit I have a bit of a girl-crush on.
