“Help, I’m alive, my heart keeps beating like a hammer…” I have this new Metric song stuck in my head all the time. I’m talking everyday, all day. From the very first time I heard “Help, I’m Alive” I instantly remembered the lyrics and found myself singing along when they opened with this song at the Jingle Bell Rock show at the Sound Academy a few weeks back–after only hearing it twice, ever (I don’t listen to the radio, cut me some slack).
While I didn’t stay for the whole show, I’d dare to say that what I did see was one of the best Metric performances I’d been to in quite some time, and I regret not sticking around. They always put on a great show, but this one had a little extra sumthin’ sumthin. Maybe it was the new songs?
In terms of shooting the show, the light was hit and miss, but I managed and am fairly satisfied with what I got. Can’t say the same for the opening bands (The Dears and Tokyo Police Club), unfortunately.
Full Metric set here.
