15 February 2024 - Metric - Help I'm Alive

We have featured Metric on this blog before - including last year, when they were nominated for a Juno Award.  They're nominated again this year - and we think they might actually win.  

This is a 2008 song of theirs, and not what they are nominated for this year.  Although not their best known song today - now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend - it is their biggest hit, reaching #21 on the Canadian charts and even higher elsewhere.  It was also their first time gaining any traction on the US charts -   

Written by vocalist Emily Haines - and sung by her and not Brie Larson - it's an emotional powerhouse.


Does this song sound just as emotional and strong stripped down to an acoustic version?

Yes.  Yes it does.
