@@nikohcw6226 me too 🎧🎶😍 A year after my first listen, and a dozen more that first month, I'm still coming back every month or two for another go around. I might just get one song pop in my head and intend to only listen to that one, but once I do, I can never resist playing the whole thing.
Listen, it's hard to say Consequence tied my tongue Life wasn't made for one Icons will rise and tank Pennies in jars of clay Heaviest fragile beast Further ahead than me I've got so far to go So give my soul some peace Suffer what it means On some other plane Wisdom left me blind With nothing I could teach The substance of my mind The gates of shame and spite Open to me Over the side toss coins Parisian fountain street Wishes and lies compete Moss on a rolling stone A rising star in chains Colder than bars of gold Hoping the ropes will hold Why not just let go? The stakes are not my own On Formentera beach Why not walk away? Take a sober stroll And free my childhood dream Before my hour is up Time stamp my release Today it's over Formentera
This right here is one of the best songs i've ever heard period. Just listen to how the opening pops up with the bass and the drums, as if the first 10 seconds were a completely different song. And then the dance between the vocals and the bassline. The drums allowing for the full set of layering to mesh so well together as to almost sound generic but completely non generic. And then the synths at the end with cadences so sweet, gentle and powerful that only they could serve as codas for what preceded them. Doing the same dance that the vocals were doing with the bassline. Its absurdly well done.
Absolutely mesmerizing. Every time I listen this album keeps changing what track I like most, now it's probably this. EDIT: And even whispering Formentera at the end, very subtle but still noticeable, beautiful mixing there!
wow...I got hear these wonderful musicians open for Noel Gallagher and Garbage. This song...the Melody is ..fuckn heart broken....i almost want to cry?.. It is amazing..
Holey Moley this album is phenomenal. This is my favorite song off this album. It transcends me to a euphoric state. Thanks Metric. I really needed this. I can't wait to see this performed live in Phoenix, AZ. I can't wait. ❤❤❤❤❤
I kind of overlooked this song my first few times through the album... and now I'm listening to this one track over and over again. Maybe it's that incomplete feeling, like the song doesn't end. Really great message and tone... makes you want to live your life well and fully ♥🙂
I hate music that is produced these days but this song gives me hope that good music can still be created. All the bands I used to like are now unable to produce any material at the same level as before (Blink, Greenday, Libertines, RHCP) but Metric still hanging in there 👍🏻
I love the weightlessness in her voice, if there is compression, they understand what and when to apply it..this has space for her vocals...fuckn excellent job
Thanks to this song I can’t listen the rest of the album, it’s sooooooo good!!! You guys did an amazing job with Formentera (the album). I can’t wait to get home, buy the whole album and listen to it all day :3
This is such a beautiful melody ... I listened to it the last 2 mornings...first song I played of each day. And looked up at the blue sky....the tree line of the woods in my backyard and just was moved to a really good place. EMILY has such a wonderfully angelic sound to start the day....however, at the end , the very last synthesizer dark, falling sound? I am going to mute or skip in my a.m. music ritual. Lol. 🤣😅💞
How in the world have you guys been around as long as you have and have still yet to put out a bad, or even mediocre, album? It blows my mind. I've been listening to you guys since like 2004-5ish
The first listen of this song instantly made me think of driving in the summer, in a convertable on a road along some beautiful coast, top down, warm air blowing... didn't realize that Formentara beach was a real place!
Thrilling! It's almost like a Paul Mauriat's piece 💕 Love it how some of your songs have actual melody that develops (almost) in the classical canons 💕
To be honest, this sounds awesome right here on RU-vid with my Yamaha receiver 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos setup. The two subwoofers love the deep digital bass and the Atmos bouncing off the ceiling really gives the sound 3d depth. I like records but the signal to noise ratio is pretty low compared to digital in my dumble opinion 😉 🤔 😜 😄
This one captures the feeling of being at this current stage of many lives. You write such good lyrics, and sound so good. Thank you again for this album and staying true to Metric Sound and not giving way to new fashionable sounds and trends. Metric is unique!
My significant other to be must be as much a freak about metric as me… otherwise things just won’t work out!!! Thank you Emily for coloring this world in just the right tones that I’ve needed, literally every step of the way. So thankful and grateful for you four. And so happy I was able to trek out to Canada from california to see you life at the Budweiser stage for the droomscroller tour. Love you guys!!!
