Metric - Police and the Private

[@lauracaviglia1795]

no one is listening to this in 2021? I have just discovered this group and I'm the happiest person in the world

[@myempathy1]

This is better than your album version. And the guitar line simply melts the heart!

[@refusedchad]

I'm 100% sure there's a phaser effect on the vocals for this track, it's subtle but oh so nice. great post!

[@meeesese]

now that is some talent :] absolutely amazing, and i loved the sticky tape thing

[@willveda]

Emily is the Queen of Portamento, both vocally and synthesizer-y.

Get straight and wait here while I try to find the exit sign When will you stop asking strangers, no one wants what we want Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bag Never expect to be sure You're working for the police and the private The pirates and the pilots Fingerprinted, waiting for the train The doctor, the writer, the garbage collector Fingerprinted, waiting for the train Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all missing mama Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all missing mama There's a place that ends here, I know When they close the gates, I'll cry I'm so tired of never sleeping The whole world wants what we're on Didn't make this up, I learned, I learned it from a friend My friend is coming clean, she told me Keep one eye on the door, keep one eye on the bed Never expect to be sure who you're working for You're working for the police and the private The pirates and the pilots Fingerprinted, waiting for the train The doctor, the writer, the hairdresser Felt up and fingerprinted, waiting for the train Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all missing mama Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all missing mama Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all missing mama Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love Lord, listen, lover, we are all losing love Got to get out Got to get to you, the orphanage is closing in an hour Source: Musixmatch

[@FullOfBlue]

awesome!

[@willveda]

@STRUCK37 Most important aspect of this sound is the slight portamento (glide) setting at about 1/4.

[@Nootkah]

I like this one so much better than the studio version.

[@M1K30889]

they did this really well.

[@darknessfalls1956]

still a goddess

[@squidlycarmichael]

If you like this, google "Red Dahlia". I remember hearing something about this band less than a year ago. I've seen this video; probably here on the tube. Thanks for the reminder, Pauley...

[@martygoose]

too right

[@LiveLaughJordan-oi6tg]

The album version needs that guitar part...

[@UpperCrustthe3rd]

emily is so cool.

[@ufuckamelon]

[@ElSegundoAire]

[@vladhed]

sticky tape on the keys?!

[@jordanthecat]

Guitar players use a capo. Apparently, some keyboard players use duct tape!

[@hchano]

I am not sure if it is what you meant but I am assumikng it is... I found a band named Red Dahlia from the searching. They are pretty good, tho maybe could use a tad bit more polishing. Listening to their stuff on MS. Needs Not Wants reminds me of Melissa from Auf der Maur a bit.
