[@orlenivan]

10 years after and still listening this song three times in a row

[@myempathy1]

Astonishing song.

[@Elle-vq3md]

The most beautiful and heartbreaking song I've ever heard

[@FranciscoGarcia-hi3zx]

I heard the original first and I got to say I like both a whole lot in diffrent moods.

[@Mzero2k3]

Lately this has been one of my favorite songs :)

[@23JuanFer]

Porque este album esta tan olvidado? Para mi es una joya

[@nicolasarias3305]

[@artistmjv]

[@pictureframes7694]

Me too

[@meganphillips3050]

Same always

[@BoopSnoot69]

this is by far my favorite song by Metric, has been for 5 years :p I love this version better than the original. I heard this version first but the original is kinda eh but this one is the bestt

[@Justamazen4u]

i need an update now

[@DirtyDeedsDoneDirtCheapD4C]

This band in general is way too good, I personally prefer the original but this one is also very good, even if I prefer the "slowed down" version that's the original

[@bonitakoponen3674]

❤wicked album. Metric always seems to get "it",,,, peace ❤

[@ateisticwill]

One of the best songs ever! Just love it!

[@Guitar2776]

Great song. I can't decide which mix I like the best. Both are good, but I lean towards this one.

[@Ones_Complement]

Such a gem.

[@hairspraykin]

this was the first version i heard and i think i prefer it to the album version

[@ganjakittymrow]

Wow this remix is off the chain ! lol loved the original, stumbled across this today :D

[@fatsdumbono2979]

Sounds a lot like a Dubstar song! Awesome stuff.

[@lorenzosanchezlerin2951]

Espectacular

[@kellydietrich9451]

Love it

[@CliveRobertKennedy]

love this mix

[@lenniebaby17]

Spotify wrapped reminding me this year, once again, this is one of my most listened-to songs. "Choose the highest bidder was my answer when they told me I was up for sale" my girlboss feminist anthem

[@aislinnoreilly]

best version

[@lalo2509]

I hope metric would play this song someday.

[@stanford-nf4jk]

They toured near where I live. I had other things going on at the time or else I may have have gone to see them.

[@bluemoth3250]

I don't think they like this album very much, based on the description on the album sleeve

[@gumble808]

What does it say? Personally, it’s my favorite album of theirs

[@MultiGreenG]

@@gumble808 same

[@jasonblair298]

Just fucking perfect. Second favorite song ever.

[@existentialistremnant6231]

Aight I gotta know the first now

[@jasonblair298]

Gimme Shelter

[@existentialistremnant6231]

@@jasonblair298 Thats a banger. I'd go Sympathy for the Devil for greatest Stones track, but to each his own. Cheers.

[@AureliusR]

For those of you wondering why you love this song so much, it's pretty simple -- it's a complete alt-pop song. The chord progression is such a classic one used in many, many pop songs. They've just put the Metric twist on it. I don't think they used this same pop chord progression in any other song they wrote, hence why it stands out so much.

[@granthooper2329]

thats not why,youre wrong dont assume anything about why people enjoy music

[@bluemoth3250]

@@granthooper2329 But what they are saying is a fact. While you're totally right about music being subjective, this chord progression is incredibly rife in the pop industry. That doesn't make it bad, just means subconsciously thats part of the reason people like this.

[@OrigamiPhoenix]

@@bluemoth3250 Considering the name of the song is "Soft Rock Star" and that it's about selling out/facing peer pressure, it's thematically appropriate that it uses a much more pop-associated chord progression.

[@bluemoth3250]

@@OrigamiPhoenix I know that, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with a pop-y progression. I like it, honestly. I'm just saying that's the reason we like those chords so much.

[@OrigamiPhoenix]

@@bluemoth3250 Neither am I. It's just a flavorful choice.

[@HexNottingham]

Does anyone know who Joe is? Was that this album's producer?

[@Ilikefrogs..]

Mine three!

[@emotional_stuff]

any time codes?

[@jtaimeChopin]

Superior to the original. Her voice is much clearer in this version.

[@phille_s]

mine too

[@mike196212]

Beatlesque. Great song.

Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

[@nameforcomments4092]

Billy Corgan also references that phrase several times throughout his work (but I guess he would, given his apparently very high opinion of himself).
