It was during the music on the PA before the One Republic concert in Madrid Nov 2014 when all of a sudden me and my ex went…WAIT, THIS SONG KICKS A**, WHO IS THIS????…thankfully I remembered the CHORUS and courtesy of the internet I found Metric! Been a fan since then…finally saw them in Denver March 2019 while in agonizing pain -my right arm had been left with little blood for one night and the pain the following weeks was unbearable, but hell, Emily and the boys made it worthwhile!
I blame it on the Music Mafia.... their stranglehold on the major avenues of music distribution and their suppression of anyone not signed with them has likely kept this band from anything other than direct search results. The saddest thing is that the only popularity outside of Canada comes from the fact that Black Sheep was in Scott Pilgrim vs the World and yet sadly, all the comments in that video are either that Bree Larson did it better or some stupid quotes from the movie.... its just memes or idiocy from Bree Larson fans.... almost no true Metric fans.
@@UberNerd I dunno if anyone remember but in old iTunes there were playlist of singers and bands with commentaries to each song, song by Metric was in Chester Benington playlist (he wrote "she sounds like she just had sex, and I love it"), that's how I found them, and they were in Twilight OST, so I assumed they were pretty big, turns out I was dead wrong, and that's sad because even their oldest song still sounds fresh, like it was just recorded. Very rare tbh
Metric got pretty big outside Canada, much bigger then say Broken Social Scene. No bigger crime then the lack of exposure for the Collective that Emily came from.
Kagan Roy while I would agree that synthetics was their best album for a long time, they are putting out stuff more recently that is back to their original flavour. I think now or never is right up there with their best stuff from nearly a decade ago
I just saw metric tonight and this was their last song, a girl next to me started sobbing, I can only imagine how much it meant to her. The power of music, man
This song means so much to me. Quit my government job and went commercial fishing with my husband. This was the first song I heard on the oyster rock. I saw it as a miracle, like breathing under water. He had a fatal car accident, I lost everything and try to continue. Now it means something totally different. Thanks for your beautiful voice
roanm05 my life is so full because of Eddie. Today he would have been 41 today. Very hurt and sad til I realized he isn't truly gone. He showed me the kind of love most people never even know exists. I still console others who miss him terribly. He lives through those he continues to touch. Even your show of compassion today. Thank you so much.
I had the pleasure of seeing metric live, and during this song, they paused. The lead singer gave a small speech and encouraged the audience to sing along. I swear it was magic. A whole stadium of people all singing the chorus. Another reason to appreciate these amazing musicians
Went to see these guys in concert last weekend & still can't cease to think about it. They put on one hell of a show that I won't soon forget. Terribly underrated band, imho.
Metric is still one of my favorite bands. Saw them for the first time by accident in 2012 at Lollapalooza. There are clips of that show on this video, the performance blew me away. Filmed them in 2012 Lollapalooza, 2014 Roitfest, 2022 at the Chicago Theater, and now in 2024 at Milwaukee Summerfest. I have 3 live versions of this song "Breathing Underwater" uploaded. I am getting older and going to shows like this and pushing my way up front takes its toll on me, but tonight was worth it.
It's a beautiful thing to see Lou Reed's darling use that upper register. It's too bad that the major record labels won't give them their due here in America. Rolling Stone snubs them and SNL will never let them on stage, all because they blazed their own path to a wider audience without a major record label. They truly deserve better than that.
I feel ya bro...my words exactly...I honestly feel my eyes sting when she sings that part; but I'm guessing it's the frequency of the notes? It feels sad, yet powerful at the same time...I can listen to that song all day without tiring of it... cheers bro... 🙏🕉
okay something about METRIC songs is addicting because why is this the second of their songs I’ve put on loop. I need to check out the rest of their songs asap
[Verse 1] I'm the blade You're the knife I'm the weight You're the kite They were right when they said We were breathing underwater Out of place, all the time In a world that wasn't mine to take I'll wait [Chorus] Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? [Verse 2] I'm the blade You're the knife I'm the weight You're the kite They were right when they said We should never meet our heroes When they bow at their feet, in the end, it wasn't me 1, 'u-xx_large_top_margin': $height > 0}" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block;"> [Chorus] Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? [Bridge] Nights are days We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet [Chorus] Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Am I breathing underwater? [Outro] Am I breathing underwater? Am I breathing underwater?
I first heard this song when I became a resident of Ontario and it was like a mind blowing experience, listening to this and driving around smelling the fresh air!!! Better than any drug for me XO
I love metric..I just do,I don't care,they're one of the most honest ,likable ,real musicians out there.they are original, and don't fit anything else, they are completely unique... Its like magic
The finest of Canada’s cultural exports. Listen to them if you have a desire to question life’s most basic meanings in detail. Or if you just love dope music.
Saw Metric opening for Alanis Morissette last weekend. Never heard of them until I saw the lineup for Alanis. I started listening to their music in anticipation of the concert and loved their live performance. I’m a big fan now. Can’t wait to see them again!
I lost my sister to suicide she took her life. This song i love so much. I read between the lines and i find my sister. And i get breathless and dream .
Im breathing under water with my.little sister.. Heres mine now. My little sister came in after playing for hours. In her hand she held a bouquet of flowers she picked them on the hill behind the shack gave the flowers to moma then went running back. Mom arent these pretty lets put them in a glass then we can see their beautey each time we pass.
To me this song represents my relationship with my son. "I'm the weight, you're the kite" I need to let him fly like the kite but I'm the weight to help stabilize him and provide guidance. I really love this song. Thanks Metric!
the only reason this song doesn't have a lot of 'views' is because it isn't american. however if it were american, the imperial measurement system would increase the views by converting from metric.
Awe you are so right.canadian bands have really never gotten the respect and ATTENTION they should have received.i am not a canadian but live sooo damn close to the border.damn Montreal forum is where I saw my first concert.a great canadian band by the name of rush.yes canadian talent does not get views they should get
Metric makes me cry, very empathetic I'am, so very emotional, takes me back to 2010-2011-2012 when my life was so pure, very busy yet I felt fulfilled. Thank you Metric and Emily Haines for making a difference in my life, and still continuing. Forever in my heart. Sincerely, Amy H
Me too! With the fireworks going off above on parliament hill... Was just thinking about it tonight. (Actually it was their first show on parliament hill in 2013 I saw)
if this song was American and not Canadian it would get the 200 mil with no problems . they don't play it in US radio because the company behind the group don't know their work. it happens with many Canadian artists . take any rap same copy paste shit and see how they hit 200 mil after 3 weeks .
Glorinimex Canada "They" DO play it on American radio. That's where I first heard it....a Seattle alternative radio station, KNDD. A station that's nationally known for "breaking" artists out (Nirvana, Shins, DCfC, Black Keys, Tool, Alice in Chains, Lorde....). Artists who would normally not receive mainstream airplay. And...there are other stations across the U.S. like this.
Heard this a LOT on my station. And radio play doesn't automatically mean UA-cam views: one guy hitting 'replay' 200,00 time would make this popular, by your stated definition.
+Glorinimex Canada but here ...in sao paulo brasil ....the same bullshit , love you canadians ....super people !!!! not the us dumbies ´´owner of the world´´ ...cheers m8
Wow what a fantastic band!!!..I got to see them open for Garbage and Noel Gallagher in Atl 2023... i hate Modern Radio... i remember a time when there were many outlets for bands to be heard!!!.. Im embarrassed to admit that i had never heard of these folks..Rock on Metric!!!!
I remember the exact place I was the first time I heard this song on the radio in San Francisco. I was familiar with Metric because their music was recommended by a coworker. But I was so shook by this song I stopped in my tracks, I said "What is this!!" And I had to Google it to find out. A hugely memorable experience in a drug addled haze in the old days.
I feel like this song is like INXS's 'Don't Change' as they are both great send-off songs, full of anticipation, hope and heart. Awesome song writing, and connection to audience. Love it. I play this song over and over and can't get sick of it. Thanks Emily and Co.
Music like this doesn't get the credit they deserve, Music these days are more auto tuned then actual singing and instruments, Real talent takes effort not an assload of technology to make their sound better and better until all the 'Artist' has to say is 1 or 2 words and wow!! you get 3 albums 4 million dollars and 8 awards! good on you mate!
+Dayna Edwards I saw them live on Tuesday, show was amazing. They are severely underrated. I was in the front row and got a handshake from Emily, she's awesome.
They ended the Orlando show with this song, and it was an amazing sing-a-long. Emily has this sincerity that really comes across live. Tears were shed.
I just tweeted this out with the link to the song on my X account. I was working at a 6000 seat capacity newer hockey Arena(2016)when Metric played. I wasn't familiar with their music. I stopped in my tracks when this song came on.......the energy from the band & light show was something to see, feel and hear!
Not sure exactly, but Metric has always seemed like a band inspired by 80s New Wave to me. 1984 was arguably the defining year of 80s music (thriller became the biggest-selling album ever that year, madonna released like a virgin, MTV popularity/creativity at its peak, etc). imo in 1985 everything started to go downhill and become more faceless and corporate
+Martin Campbell Metric does have some early 80's post-punk new wave influence in their music as you can hear the heavy use of synthesizers, especially on their latest album. A lot of people like to compare them to Blondie who were a big part of the early 80's post punk new wave era.
I don't know why it took me so long to "discover" Metric being that I'm in Toronto but I fell in love with the music and after listening to tracks on UA-cam bought the latest album. Mesmerizing music and videos. My current fav soundtrack to life. Cheers!

I love Canadian music… they’re so real.. it comes from the heart n has meaning, it’s not garbage… like this song, it makes me feel happy for life
Some awesome bands (70's /80's/ into early 90's) here in 🇨🇦
Metric.
One of those bands that you can take comfort in knowing they're Canadian
CANADA is NAZI CENTRAL ALL ALONG
@@derekknight9789 Bite one, jerk.
proud 🇨🇦
nickleback :)
@@tailsblaze9933I'd give that nickel back
I had no idea this was only popular in canada. I thought it was a universal experience. feel bad for those who missed out
I blame it on the Music Mafia.... their stranglehold on the major avenues of music distribution and their suppression of anyone not signed with them has likely kept this band from anything other than direct search results. The saddest thing is that the only popularity outside of Canada comes from the fact that Black Sheep was in Scott Pilgrim vs the World and yet sadly, all the comments in that video are either that Bree Larson did it better or some stupid quotes from the movie.... its just memes or idiocy from Bree Larson fans.... almost no true Metric fans.

my dad is australian, and he loves metric lol. i don't know much about canada
Based on 3.6 million hits, I am guessing that others have found it by now. This is a really energetic cut of several stage and studio shoots.
Metric - the most underrated band ever.
The Replacements, Big Star, Badfinger, Dawes, and The Refreshments would like a word with you.
Na, there are some hugely underrated bands out there even less known, like Microdisney and The Big Dish
You should listen to the original (Ladytron) :)
@@jeffzachritz8879 Our Lady Peace has also thrown down said gauntlet. Another hugely underrated Canadian band.
Kagan Roy while I would agree that synthetics was their best album for a long time, they are putting out stuff more recently that is back to their original flavour. I think now or never is right up there with their best stuff from nearly a decade ago
I just saw metric tonight and this was their last song, a girl next to me started sobbing, I can only imagine how much it meant to her. The power of music, man
I sob becus I missed them last year, becuz my boss is the SFO n wouldn’t give me the day off 😭
One of the most underrated bands in history.
FACTS!!!
I love you all. This is the most positive comment thread i have ever had the pleasure... beautiful song, you beautiful people!

Most underrated song i've ever heard
Why?
@@PaulRobinson-p2v I've changed my mind now.
Metric are one of the most underated bands in the history of music!
Honestly though, this is a timeless song.
You might like this song I wrote? ua-cam.com/video/n71AcblniVU/v-deo.html
Agreed. Stunning production and vocals
Ten years after its release and it STILL rocks as though it were just yesterday. Was at the Toronto show in August- this was the last encore.
Found this 13 years ago in rehab. Still sober, still love the song
One of those few songs that still gives you goosebumps after endless listenings. 💙
Went to see these guys in concert last weekend & still can't cease to think about it. They put on one hell of a show that I won't soon forget. Terribly underrated band, imho.

they have their own label lol

O my god. I am in love. She's beautiful and sings like an angel. This band is amazing.
Hey!..I saw her first! LOL J/K Yea she is quite beautiful and talented..agreed!
Totally agree with you 👍
She is a mint
I love when she sings...
"Is this my life?
Am I breathing underwater?"
She just makes me cry :') because I keep asking myself those questions...
Everyone does.. That's what makes this song so touching!
wow

Step back, everyone. This is earnest, heartfelt, and original music. Relatively rare. From a band that has been paying dues for far too long.

amen to that
Reminds me of Cold Play in the early days, shortly before they disappeared up their own arse. Some great music to be had here :) I adore Lost Kitten
Man, I'm 60 and I absolutely love her voice and the music!
I only discovered Metric about a year ago (forgive me, I'm old) but I've already watched this video about 100 times. What a song!
Favorite Canadian band since RUSH!!
Metric hits me in the feels every time.
I love metric..I just do,I don't care,they're one of the most honest ,likable ,real musicians out there.they are original, and don't fit anything else, they are completely unique... Its like magic
Her voice floats. It’s angelic.
Escuchar esta canción en vivo fue una experiencia simplemente hermosa, emotiva y maravillosa. Amo esta banda, sus canciones me curan y sanan
Metric should feel proud they brought this song into the world. It drives to the heart.
The finest of Canada’s cultural exports. Listen to them if you have a desire to question life’s most basic meanings in detail. Or if you just love dope music.
I'm "Grow Up and Blow Away" + "Fantasies" til I die, but this song is even catchier than anything on those albums.
That song for when you are absolutely crushing it and you can't believe it.....
this finally started playing on the radio!! heard it summer 2021, CANADA xo
I had no idea this song was by Metric!
Really talented group!

What a perfect pairing.
My favorite song from Synthetica, and maybe even my fav Metric song.
Such a underrated song and sounds really familiar
I'm a Linkin Park fans,very hardcore fans.. and I love Metric so much ❤ their song melody catchy lyrics
I’m so glad I found this band
I love this song and I miss Toronto :(

This song will forever remind me of the Kings 2012 Stanley Cup run.

Awesome, I love this song I didn't know they Canadian, I am too :)

Martin Campbell Why 1984?
Not sure exactly, but Metric has always seemed like a band inspired by 80s New Wave to me. 1984 was arguably the defining year of 80s music (thriller became the biggest-selling album ever that year, madonna released like a virgin, MTV popularity/creativity at its peak, etc). imo in 1985 everything started to go downhill and become more faceless and corporate
Martin Campbell that's a great reply martin... long live 84 bro
+Martin Campbell Metric does have some early 80's post-punk new wave influence in their music as you can hear the heavy use of synthesizers, especially on their latest album. A lot of people like to compare them to Blondie who were a big part of the early 80's post punk new wave era.
Yes!! You hit the nail on the head: they are totes Blondie resurrected
This band opened for Paramore a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised!
Still listening 🎶 in the fall of 2021💙💙💙
Love the song I always send it to my American friends
Emily Hanes is so beautiful inside and out gawd I just love her
Temazo !!
I don't know why it took me so long to "discover" Metric being that I'm in Toronto but I fell in love with the music and after listening to tracks on UA-cam bought the latest album. Mesmerizing music and videos. My current fav soundtrack to life. Cheers!
I didn't know who Metric was until loke last uear when I saw Halsey then Metric open fro Imagine Dragons
I loved seeing you guys in Eugene, OR at the McDonald with my Hunny
