Metric - Now or Never Now (Official Video) 

That final scene is so key for me. She walks into the sea, and the other members of the band chase after her. To me, it feels like that no matter how deeply alone or unloved you feel, you do have people who care about you.

Metric is one of the few artist that I can just put the whole discography on shuffle and just let it play all the way through.

In tears, watching this video. Never heard of Metric until just the last few weeks. I used to have major depressive disorder for decades. I was close to suicide several times, but never talked about it. Somehow, the MDD went away, cured by a med, a miracle, something. This video reminds me of the desperate feelings I had during MDD and how grateful I no longer suffer. TY Metric for capturing this feeling. In love with all of your music - new fan at age 60. ♥

The most beautiful I've ever seen. The most beautiful I've ever listened to 2023. I'm totally in love

Hadn't listened to Metric in a while. I'd forgotten just how much I could miss that voice and how much their sound could touch me.

if ever there was an underrated band...

This song reminds me a lot of my friend who unfortunately passed away in January this year. His name was Marcelo. Every time I hear this song, I cry. he loved Metric, particularly this song. Marcelo, I'm so sorry! I'll always love you! You are the best friend I could have. One day we'll meet.

If the oppurtunity ever arises to see Metric live, do it. You will not be let down. They're amazing. It was my first time hearing them and It was out of this world from start to finish!

Metric is magical, 7 albums later and I still get the most amazing feeling when I listen to their new songs. I'm so grateful you're still here making music together and I never take it for granted, you guys are something special, thank you.

Poetry, magic, transcendence. Every time.

First song I heard from Metric was Breathing Underwater.I was blown away. Years later still love them, they never cease to amaze me. Killer sound, awesome style.

Metric is timeless. Their sound will always be fresh. I’ve listen to “help, I’m alive” in my music rotation since 2009 and it’s still one of my favorites. Great band, vocals, and lyrics.

Is everyone getting the chills during the clapping scenes and build up to Emily's refrain at the end!!??

Underrated band an singer her voice is so sick

LYRICS: // It hurts to turn the radio on My stamina's gone, my spirit is weak Because every time I start to move on Keep hearing that song I'm brought to my knees ~ To permanently see in reverse Take the remorse out of defeat Because everything that's under my skin Where I end and begin Still belongs to me // I'm fine to sit and stare at the door Can't run anymore, too weary to stand I'm bound in the effect with the cause My life is on pause It's out of my hands ~ To perfectly perform in reverse There's no way to rehearse There's nothing to plan Because everything that's under my skin Where I end and begin That's who I am // Oh, only silence can restore The sense of place I had before ~ Oh, only silence can repair My sense of self I lost somewhere // Because the last time I let myself feel this way It was a long, long time ago And now we get so scared And we get so scared To be nowhere left alone ~ Because it's now or never Now It's now or never Now, now, now //

That juxtaposition of her walking into the sea combined with them walking into the room where she *was,* that's so powerful to me.

Wow! I heard a very small clip on a t.v. show, so I looked them up here and I feel like I was struck by a bolt of lightning! This music is beyond what words could describe 🥰❤️

That escalated quickly. They just ran into the ocean. I'm really liking the new album. It has a little bit more teeth than the last one, but Metric is a band that keeps me hooked, no matter how different their sound changes album to album. They're all great.

I always experience nostalgia whenever I listen to Metric’s songs. The music brings me back to the good old 2004-2008 era!

This song is so significant and meaningful right now with this pandemic. Not being close to family, and dealing with a breakup this song grounds me and keeps me sane even though it's difficult listening to it Thank you Metric for composing such a beautiful and powerful song It was the first song my parents listened to when I moved out of the house that I burned on their CDs. Let's all stay strong and get through this together

This is my favorite band of this decade every damn song they put out is phenomenal!!

"Art of Doubt" is the album of the year! literally the entire album is a masterpiece, everything is just perfect. Thank you Metric

"I want to lose myself in your music and dream" You're magical. Your music reminds me all the good things in my life. Coming back here when I fell sad and always gets better.

This song couldn't have come into my life at a better time..... This is the kind of energy I need to keep pushing forward.....to keep my heart open. Thank you! Keep on rockin'!

Probably my favorite song of ART OF DOUBT I'm so hyped! the album is amazing.

Emily Haines of Metric is one of the best rock singers period.

Agreed. Emily is one of the best female lead vocalists in the industry. Love her lots !!!! Metric rocks ... All songs are hits.

One of the most underrated bands ever. Found this on Twitter.

All the album is just pure gold! Thank you for keep on performing, I love your music!

This song made me feel so many things, holy shit.

I could not possibly love this band more. What a cool video with the Miami vibe. Emily looks beautiful, the boys look cool and all the people of the city look great. I'm loving the Art of Doubt. just a brilliant album. I must catch Metric on tour!

1 MILLION VIEW'S... There's been quite a dramatic increase in all their official vids and live performance vids over the past few months. A great testimony to the quality of music and writing on AoD and to the sucess of the tour. Well done Metric

Every now and then I hear some people complain about how there aren't any real rock stars anymore. To which I say, Emily Haines exists.

My wife & I just caught the Toronto stop on their Art of Doubt tour ... it's 2 hours of dancing, swaying, singing & smiling. Great vibes coming from that stage & it resonates, the crowd is chill & just loving the tracks. Go see Metric if you haven't yet, now that I have, can't wait to catch them again!

Music with lasting quality-a rare breed these days.

Thanks to everyone who made this song hit the airwaves in the Vancouver BC suburbs. After I divorced, in 2013, I have dated a bit, but need to move on from the life that wasn't meant to be. I fell in love with her mask, her projection of what she thought I wanted. She was right about that, but it wasn't her. I don't know why she agreed to marry me. 2 damaged people trying to find self confidence I guess. Now I moved to Canada and I'm building a new life and finding new growth in my spirit. Though I am still quite guarded, it is nice to see something in my spirit besides a tree with all the limbs chopped off. Songs like this make me feel like someday I should set up a dating app, or at least try to allow some kind of attraction into my time left on Earth.

Metric, your music always gives me the feels. Thank you for all the beautiful music you have created and set free into the universe. 🖤

The encouragement this song gives me can't be measured. I almost gave up on life multiple times but then I hear this song and every form of hatred inside me disappears.

When she sings the "Now or Never (Now, now)" part, I can feel it pulling some strings in my heart. Same with the music, esp in the beginning.... It feels physical almost, like it's just vibrating, echoing in those little chambers and pulsing in time with the beat. Is it just me?

I don't know why I'm just finding this 3 and half years later but what a great song and video!

Spent most of the day listening to the album at work. What a great Friday.

Such a solid track, from start to finish, not one bad element. Emotive, powerful, building... pure majesty.

I can't stop listening to this track

One of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Emily’s voice is so smooth but what sets them apart are the lyrics. Amazing talent this band. Bring your concerts to Australia.

Metric's music always arrives when I need it most in my life. Dealing with a broken friendship and this song helps me push forward. Only silence can repair and restore myself wherever I lost it. Last time I felt this way was in High school. Going within and giving our pain the love it needs is the only way to heal the pain. It takes time and cannot be rushed, but one must keep going and not stop, no matter how much it hurts to move on from the pain and can't go back to what it was. Thank you!!

I will never forget hearing this great song live at the end of an incredible 19 song set. 16 years from the time I first listened to Dead Disco. Like Emily said during a pause in the set, songs evoke periods of our lives, the highs and lows. Every time I listen to Now or Never Now, I remember that night and the utter thrill of seeing and hearing one of my favourite bands live. Thank you Emily, Jimmy, Joules and Josh for the albums that defined my life.

There's something about the intro to this song that just sounds amazing. It giving me many weird feels. Can't explain. It's like happiness, sadness and throw in some 1990's childhood nostalgia.

They've become my go to band. They always sound great. Her lyrics and voice leave nothing to be desired.

May 2023 and this song still gives euphoric chills

Three or four years ago I presented a friend of mine this loveyley band. During this song she became pretty contemplative, she regarded me sadly and said something like: "Please listen to that song, look at the video, think about it and take it by hearth, I know that this music can touch your hearth and this song has just been written for you." It has taken years, I've been blind but destiny let me finally understand this message and since one or two months that song is something like the soundtrack of my soul. Thanks Metric and I think you'll know who you are.

Emily Haines is a Queen! Love this band so much!

I'm really enjoying the whole new album, it has a "back to basics" colour but with a mature touch. I simply love it.

A band without defects. Love u guys 🇧🇷❤️

I have literally never heard a bad Metric song and I would not even consider myself a massive fan. They are just straight up a great band. I will forever be grateful for the Ting Tings because shuffling their channel on Pandora brought a lot of Metric my way. Also, this song and it's title would be a good option for a James Bond film.

Best album of the year in my honest opinion. So glad to hear from you again! Hope you will also visit Turkey and let us enjoy this live! Cheers

Honestly one of the rare recent pop bands that I truly enjoy. It's been a while since someone made me want to travel back through their catalog and liked them even more.

Reminds me of high school. This band has aged like a fine wine

IT BLOWS MY MIND HOW SERIOUSLY CRAZY THAT I’M SO WELL CONNECTED TO SO SO SO MANY

Yes, for some reason this song never gets old. I think that the composition of the song is genius, in that half of the song is taking you from sad , regretful, vibe into a neutral area of what to do about the past (silence and being alone to heal), it finally shufts in thr last part of the song to an optmistic, motivating athem that affirms the need for us to overcome our fears and jump in to what could be a womderous, new experience. It defitly is a engaging song that takes the listener on a journey that listens can empathzie with and align their own lives with the message of the song . Thats why it never gets old. Its really great music!

I'm in love with every song from 'Art of Doubt' but this is honestly one of the best songs of the album. THANK U METRIC!!

I absolutely love everything about this band. Emily’s voice, style and intelligence fits beautifully with their music. She is one of my favourite lyricists.

This was the song that played when i put my two feets in Paris. I will never forget that moment. Thanks for the memories.

Album of the year

I was being driven somewhere a couple of days ago and this song was being played. It blew me away. I've never heard of this group but they're awesome.

I'm Happy I saw them Live with the Smashing Pumpkins. Best birthday present to myself ever :)

Emily Haines is one of the finest female singers Canada has ever produced.

This song is incredible. So beautiful, and so relatable. ❤

It is good.

The perfect mixture of modern and 80s music

Man I needed this song right about now.

My favourite band of all time.. Love all you do 😘👌

I never get sick of this song ❤️

I never really paid much attention to Metric, and they were mostly just another band that you hear on the radio. But then a couple months ago I noticed that I always get excited when one of their songs comes on. They were one of my favourite bands and I didn't even know it.

This song make me feel happy, sad, excited, hyped, i can't even stop listening, this is what i literally call "eargasm"!!

The thing with Metric is that each album initially confronts me sonically. Then it starts creeping up on me then become an obsession!

I never thought that perfection could be put into a song.

Saw them live opening up for Garbage this month. They were amazing. They played this song in their set. Awesome.

It`s like they took all they`ve ever learned about music trought all of their years, to create their masterpiece.

No no no Emily - you're supposed to get old like the rest of us, not even more awesome and beautiful. Sheesh...

One of the most unknown underrated bands out there! They are tops in my book!

the breakdown of this song is the best release in a song, you know it's coming, its building and building, it's been a long long time and it's now or never, and when it happens it's pretty awesome, at least for me.

my go to song for a hard time...its now or never now

Necesitamos más vistas para que el mundo se de cuenta que todavía existe música! More views we need to let the world knows that there's still music to enjoy!!! Fantastic song!

These lyrics accurately describe what my life has been the last 6 years

Emily is not only incredibly gorgeous, she is INSANELY talented. My all time favorite band.

AMAZING show last night in Newfoundland !!

There's something so 1980s about the synth line in this song.

"My life is on pause. It's out of my hands..." Listening to this in 2020. This couldn't be more true.

This has the really cool synthwave vibe with some edge, I am a little late to this party in 2019. Likes all around this video.

She must rank as one the most beautiful women ever.. and such a gorgeous song.. sonically and lyrically

This is such a great song. Heard it for the first time at ACL last weekend and can't stop listening to it.

OMG I'm so happy, this is my favorite song from the album. You guys are amazing 💚 Thank you for all the perfect songs. 💚💚🇧🇷

It's the no bullshit aspect of metric that got me hooked. There's no agenda, no real direction psychologically suggested, the lyrics just express raw emotion that any human can relate to

I’m really falling in love with this bands music.

So many favourite tracks. The album is a solid body of mature work. Classic already. Love Metric.

Really enjoying the album, nice return to form

The ending is just Magical... It's now or never, now ♫

I absolutely love this song!

This has such an 80's feel. Nostalgia is what I feel! Genius. Can't wait to see them in August!

Album of the year. Honestly even better than I was expecting
