I mentioned this band in my earlier post and when I looked back I realised that I haven't mentioned this song before. I've forgotten who introduced me to it but I went through a rather serious phase where I played it almost obsessively.
Anthem for a 17 year old is a simple song. I don't know if its the quality of her voice or the tune but something about it got me hooked and I have been ever since. It is a little strange however that I haven't actually made an effort to listen to any of their other songs(something I intend to do now)
I'm sorry about the video though it does not do the song any justice. In second year of college we did a film course where we had a five shot exercise to do. Two friends and I decided to use this song as our soundtrack; After trawling through all the nonsense on youtube I think our film might actually be the best of the lot(sorry, but I'm extremely proud of it.) It is somewhere on top in the crap video category. I am going to ask if I can put it up but until then:enjoy!

Metric
So my brother and I have had a history of rather vicious fights on music but there are these rare and rather beautiful moments where we have actually agreed on some bands/songs. It's happening a lot nowadays which is a little disturbing so here's one of them
Metric is a canadian band it consists of vocalist Emily Haines (who also plays the synthesizer and guitar), guitarist James Shaw (who also plays thetheremin), bassist Josh Winstead and drummer Joules Scott-Key. Haines and Shaw also perform with Broken Social Scene, another band I love.
The song 'help I'm alive' is from their latest album 'fantasies'. Brother dearest introduced me to the original version on youtube but when I downloaded it I got the acoustic version. They're both great so I'm putting up both versions. They also sound like two very different songs!
For all you grey's anatomy fans their music features every so often. The song 'all yours' from the film 'eclipse'(yes, one of the twilight films and probably the best bit about it) is also theirs. enjoy!
