Metric - Synthetica (Live at Sasquatch)

[@samsmusichub]

This is an INCREDIBLE version. Sounds very indie.

[@denniscarroll3164]

I discovered this band by accident, now I'm a fan, they have a great style.

[@brightstarlit]

Dennis Carroll I feel the are the greatest most underrated band in history

[@samsmusichub]

@@brightstarlit Agreed if they're not inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame then life is meaningless.

[@discokidx1]

emily has a truly great female rock and roll voice

[@XYZ-mn2zu]

I absolutely love these accoustic recordings of their songs. It's like hearing a totally different song. I love them as I've heard them and as I hear them in these versions now.

[@jakashh]

I love their acoustic stuff. Kinda like them a bit more than the regular versions

[@rowen898]

a song has to make it through a campfire before it make it to a recording.

[@gallopelleado6937]

@@rowen898 I like that alot. Anotha one

[@dereks_island]

I'm the same way. Not really a fan of there record versions. The accoustic sets are there best

[@danielelston7457]

Their album and live versions are amazing. Great use of synthesiser.

[@TranquileEngendre]

same

[@viaREAL262]

Thank you guys. We appreciatre you. Forever.

[@TDMAC77]

I can't stop playing this song. I love this version.

[@spacecowboy5000]

The acoustic version really lets us hear incredible Emily's voice. Thanks for uploading this.

[@talltree42]

I just spent the last 2 hours of my life tracking this song down, because I forgot the title...really really glad that I did.

[@loopghost]

Ten years just like that. metric still getting the love from my speakers

[@NyanCat1907]

Anyone else watched this for more than 16737942468941 times? :3

[@fadingveil]

This song has aged like fine wine. Prescient and more appropriate than ever

[@jmbwithcats]

Love when they play acoustically, always challenging themselves with rigorous honesty in their music. This is why Metric is always so amazing.

[@chanelande]

i love when jimmy and emily sing together like this - the way jimmy watches emily sing whie he plays the guitar makes me smile.

[@maja0106]

I love love looove Metric, she sings effortlessly :)

[@xinsertusername]

She just has this amazing, rich, mature voice, I wish I had someone like her to write for. That voice is the stuff of my Dreams.

[@erikasandoval373]

Some of us are wild ones Ever under wanted I believe Lining up in the background Waiting for the crowd shot to be seen In the shadow of the big screen Everybody begs to be redeemed Hey, I'm not synthetica I'll keep the life that I've got We were never meant to Crawl in for the bait, we never will I can think for myself I've something no pill could ever kill Hey, I'm not synthetica I'll keep the life that I've got So hard, hard to resist Synthetica No drug is stronger than me Synthetica We're all the time confined to fit the mold But I won't ever let them make a loser of my soul Ahhh Hey, I'm not synthetica I'll keep the life that I've got I'll keep the life that I've got I'll keep the life that I've got I'll keep the life that I've got

[@SkyManagerNYC]

amazing!! Emily is a one of a kind

[@BlueMaxx86]

Kudos to the guitarist. Not just his skills at playing, but from not freezing up amidst falling in love with her while watching her sing 2 feet away from him. Don't know how he held it together.

[@jasongarcia2140]

He fell for her?

[@shelterrockisland]

Very Big in Canada! and I've liked them in the US since way back (18++ years ago) - Emily Hayes is extraordinarily talented and I had a glimpse of them at PNC in NJ pre-pandemic doing a small set opening for another band - very unfortunate there's no East Coast demand for them I wish I can see her closer to home!

[@t23001]

Pure talent. They are so tight, note the eye contact. Kudos to the sound/video team on the quality while recording outdoors next to a festival and in changing light conditions.

[@dominic2014]

They're so fucking gooood

[@wfsGROM]

love her voice for many years.

[@_stuartmanja]

her voice is like angel's voice.

[@weareallfunked]

Always just spot on. Lyrics seem to make so much more sense to me in it's purest form. Ugh. Love them.

[@margoulin81]

Saw them in Toulouse a while ago !! Been a fan forever, this version is crazy good !

They could have done an entire DVD at this place, I would have bought one without hesitation.

[@kusi300]

She's awesome!!!!!!! What a beautiful voice!!!

[@s...8574]

wish this and your acoustic version of Help I'm Alive were available on iTunes! really beautiful!

[@Paramore0430]

I remember listening to Metric a few years back, and now Im going to them and Hellogoodbye live at a Paramore concert on October 19th!! Ah im so excited!!

[@kexp]

Sure! We're a non-profit, so we're always accepting donations!

[@OnyxWhale]

20 downvotes? 20 people that are soundblind! This was a smooth recording for sure.

[@artdent9871]

Probably the full minute of showing a drone flying before they start playing. They certainly nailed the performance, but apparently the more time you spend surfing the web the less patience you have for sunsets;)

[@vicentanilo8091]

Me encanta Metric! Los conocí hace un mes aprox. y es lo que más escucho. La chica es geeeeenial!!! Tiene una hermosa voz🌱🙋🏻

[@ruimartinslucky]

love the band!!!

[@PintSizeNZ]

What a great song and awesome background! So glad this came up randomly on my feed. Grant, New Zealand

[@Levicard088]

if metric went purely acustic I would live in a wonderful world

[@loondoo]

awesome scenery and great performance! great job with the recording as well!

[@Olylama]

Yep what a sweet video. Glad it finally made it to utube.

[@ShawnStack1]

Thanks for sharing. That's really terrific. Thanks again.

[@Normiiiiiiiii]

"That's one fluffy little dude, man" TOO GOOD

[@AJMASTER7]

Love her voice

[@Stborf]

Most excellent! You guys keep coming up with some really great stuff flying below my radar without you! Keep up the great work and thanks!

[@joshuacooper3661]

A great person showed me the metric splendor. I wish she knew of the impact she had on me.

[@jasongarcia2140]

Same. I havent spoken with her in more than ten years. It is an ex girlfriend. Above many people in my life i wonder what happened to her.

[@mahatoo117]

So natural and so good!!

[@calixa]

i love it, they wear sunglasses in a dark studio INDOORS, now they are at the Gorge with a sunset OUTDOORS and no shades. *eyeroll* sounds fuckin awesome.

[@theheatinferno8420]

Beautiful

[@carmeng.6229]

Can I love you forever Emily?

Jeez.6 months ago. Time goes by so fast.

[@Yamilmax]

sigo escuchando este tema esta versión y aunque pasan los años desde la primera vez... me sigue emocionando. el poder del arte. ¿no?

[@feliperennt]

this blows my mind! love it

[@timryan2058]

Excellent. Man she's got a voice on her.

[@jasonamettis]

Emily has a voice like Jill Sobule. Which is a great compliment, Jill is just as hypnotizing as Emily. Very Nice version of this song

[@chriswells6747]

The god damn lyrics man! Just found this band... Holy shit. The lyrics are fucking rad!

[@chopperocker]

Awakening! ...and of course Emily is beautiful in numerous ways.

[@viciouscircle7802]

I can think for myself, ive got something no pill could ever kill

[@DannyBlackstock]

just lovely

[@danmoraniec9946]

Gorgeous.

[@svenofthejungle]

Seriously, the album version is fantastic, but this acoustic version is just sublime.

[@Kodachrome]

Anyone else notice The Shins playing Phantom Limb on the MainStage - can hear a few notes of it in the background towards the end

[@Guzferable]

Beautifully awesome

[@Malaebo]

is it me or does the guitarist look sickly? he's still rocking it.

[@Jlivingston66]

They are so right.... If a song sounds great stripped down and acoustically, the song works.

[@TheKlokan44]

non-dying bucket list for 2021... see these guys again live. Someone should organize a global touring woodstock sort of thing to clear the backlog of giggs which we would all want to see. Bob Geldof - any advice? Thanks !

[@brittanybrantley]

So good!

[@frankiesusnak6719]

BEAUTEFUL VERSION..

[@brightstarlit]

Wow beautiful

[@EvesRevenge]

Hey Listen up..I'm not sythetica, I haven't been following you since the beginning....I was happy to find you on a David Letterman show and got the chance to see you twice. But Live at Sasquatch with Synthetica had some much "white noise" in the first minute point five that I didn't bother sharing it with friends. I love the middle to end...starting with the hang-glider. But how do you put that in a post. I just thought if someone was randomly looking at it for their FIRST METRIC TIME...they might not pay attention. Here's a great simile...if you butt dial a friend on your phone, all they hear is white noise. Just as we didn't need to know you showed up late. I know this is a popular blog and just noise. Thought I might contribute to a band I love and that brings me peace first, then joy.

[@93z]

emily looks gorgeous. so gutted that I couldn't go to sasquatch this year :(

[@grasshopperz99]

Wow! just wow.

[@beywatch10]

She always sounds great on record but live she's way better, love everything about her.
