Metric - Now or Never Now - Official Music Video [HD]

[@globalpilot76]

The most beautiful I've ever seen. The most beautiful I've ever listened to 2023. I'm totally in love

[@Jamesmartens55]

if ever there was an underrated band...

[@andrewyork3869]

The most of the 21st

[@Cnhaddock]

@Patrick Whelpley Honestly- I think the fact that they're a canadian band plays into it quite a bit. If you haven't heard of the beaches give them a shot too.

[@patrickwhelpley1745]

I recently did ! Nice call!

[@SamEsss]

Metric had much bigger success around 10 or so years ago. When I started listening to them much music was still legitimately a thing.

[@lightquest2]

criminally underrated

[@ninjaduck3k]

Hadn't listened to Metric in a while. I'd forgotten just how much I could miss that voice and how much their sound could touch me.

[@noaht3087]

I recently saw them live for the first time. Unfortunately they were opening up for two bands I'm not really into. But even though the weather was bad (outdoor concert), even though they only got to play for a half an hour, even though most of the crowd was there to see someone else... They were great! ❤❤❤

[@tjfett4776]

This song will literally change your emotional state with just the intro. It’s a perfect song

[@JoubertJrDupuy]

Metric is one of the few artist that I can just put the whole discography on shuffle and just let it play all the way through.

[@brightstarlit]

Joubert Jr. Dupuy same, and I do this multiple times a week.

[@eclectica1]

I did exactly that the other day. Good times.

[@tpanderson5737]

If you can, check out Metric touring with July Talk, same thing with July Talk, just put their music on shuffle, its all great!!

[@samsmusichub]

100% accurate.

[@EvesRevenge]

Try vinyl, no shuffle necessary. 😉❤

[@nikbol43below]

That final scene is so key for me. She walks into the sea, and the other members of the band chase after her. To me, it feels like that no matter how deeply alone or unloved you feel, you do have people who care about you.

I know exactly what you mean, for me it is the scene how she is gently pulled into the last party scene and this crazy looking girl starts to animate her to sing by clapping her hands.

[@whatd0y0ucare]

Metric is timeless. Their sound will always be fresh. I’ve listen to “help, I’m alive” in my music rotation since 2009 and it’s still one of my favorites. Great band, vocals, and lyrics.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

I sometimes leave that song on repeat on my feet for several hours at a time sometimes driving along the road at 150 km an hour.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

I filmed them at Pemberton Music Festival years ago. I had an Arriflex 16 S I hadn't used in better part of 15 years so after a few test runs, I loaded up 300 ft magazine and took it to the show. They saw the camera rig, and just assumed I was media and let me in on just a regular pass.. my favorite moment was Emily catching me filming her from in the distance to give a little tilt overhead and flung her hair up over onto her shoulder to continue performing

[@50n4133]

Poetry, magic, transcendence. Every time.

[@arelissmith3461]

LYRICS: // It hurts to turn the radio on My stamina's gone, my spirit is weak Because every time I start to move on Keep hearing that song I'm brought to my knees ~ To permanently see in reverse Take the remorse out of defeat Because everything that's under my skin Where I end and begin Still belongs to me // I'm fine to sit and stare at the door Can't run anymore, too weary to stand I'm bound in the effect with the cause My life is on pause It's out of my hands ~ To perfectly perform in reverse There's no way to rehearse There's nothing to plan Because everything that's under my skin Where I end and begin That's who I am // Oh, only silence can restore The sense of place I had before ~ Oh, only silence can repair My sense of self I lost somewhere // Because the last time I let myself feel this way It was a long, long time ago And now we get so scared And we get so scared To be nowhere left alone ~ Because it's now or never Now It's now or never Now, now, now //

Metric is magical, 7 albums later and I still get the most amazing feeling when I listen to their new songs. I'm so grateful you're still here making music together and I never take it for granted, you guys are something special, thank you.

In tears, watching this video. Never heard of Metric until just the last few weeks. I used to have major depressive disorder for decades. I was close to suicide several times, but never talked about it. Somehow, the MDD went away, cured by a med, a miracle, something. This video reminds me of the desperate feelings I had during MDD and how grateful I no longer suffer. TY Metric for capturing this feeling. In love with all of your music - new fan at age 60. ♥

[@permissibleindulgence]

First song I heard from Metric was Breathing Underwater.I was blown away. Years later still love them, they never cease to amaze me. Killer sound, awesome style.

[@weedmanwestvancouverbc9266]

I live in the hell hole of FM music dominated by the local station Mountain FM. The only song that they played by Metric was breathing underwater and it was the perfect Drive song. If you haven't already, look up the song by The Cars called drive it's from their heartbeat City album from 1984. Same vibe

[@craigfulton2586]

Every now and then I hear some people complain about how there aren't any real rock stars anymore. To which I say, Emily Haines exists.

AMAZING show last night in Newfoundland !!

[@loraxdavewalters2696]

Thanks to everyone who made this song hit the airwaves in the Vancouver BC suburbs. After I divorced, in 2013, I have dated a bit, but need to move on from the life that wasn't meant to be. I fell in love with her mask, her projection of what she thought I wanted. She was right about that, but it wasn't her. I don't know why she agreed to marry me. 2 damaged people trying to find self confidence I guess. Now I moved to Canada and I'm building a new life and finding new growth in my spirit. Though I am still quite guarded, it is nice to see something in my spirit besides a tree with all the limbs chopped off. Songs like this make me feel like someday I should set up a dating app, or at least try to allow some kind of attraction into my time left on Earth.

[@fouxdefafa92]

Metric's music always arrives when I need it most in my life. Dealing with a broken friendship and this song helps me push forward. Only silence can repair and restore myself wherever I lost it. Last time I felt this way was in High school. Going within and giving our pain the love it needs is the only way to heal the pain. It takes time and cannot be rushed, but one must keep going and not stop, no matter how much it hurts to move on from the pain and can't go back to what it was. Thank you!!

Jason Kinder saw them open for the smashing pumpkins last year at msg during their reunion tour... I wasn’t really well acquainted with their music but they played a lot of new material (this song being one of them) and although me and my friend were chatting about what we were about to see during this song, I couldn’t help feel and groove to this song. I can say this and Anthems of a Seventeen Year Old made me a life long Emily Hanes fan lol

[@jenniferkaitlynlegan74]

Yes, for some reason this song never gets old. I think that the composition of the song is genius, in that half of the song is taking you from sad , regretful, vibe into a neutral area of what to do about the past (silence and being alone to heal), it finally shufts in thr last part of the song to an optmistic, motivating athem that affirms the need for us to overcome our fears and jump in to what could be a womderous, new experience. It defitly is a engaging song that takes the listener on a journey that listens can empathzie with and align their own lives with the message of the song . Thats why it never gets old. Its really great music!
