Song of the day- Black Sheep
Reason #127 why Metric is amazing I discovered today when seeing the film dear to my geeky heart, "Scott Pilgrim vs The Universe". I immediately loved this song the most, which my friend informed me later was in fact written by Metric. If you haven't seen the movie yet / read the comics, today's song might spoil some twists or just not make sense. But just go with it's fantastic-ness. This song and movie is a lot about your past catching up with you, your past shaping you, and how the people in the past shape you and your future. It's interesting to think about all the people in your life, some still in your life, some never to be heard from again but had so much input (whether good or bad) into who you are now. What we take from other people, why we pull away from people, why people pull away from us. I could perhaps dive into this black hole of thought for hours and receive lots of emotional punches in the face...or I can just enjoy the metaphorical action punches this delightful story gives. So here's to our pasts, other peoples pasts, and all the baggage we so love to fight through. Kick it's ass and move on to the next level of awesomeness!

Hello again, friend of a friend, I knew you when
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
Send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooo, pulls away, ooo
From you oo oo oo
Got balls of steel, got an automobile, for a minimum wage
Got real estate, I'm buying it all up in outer space
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick the past again
Send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time, everyone, ooo, pulls a way, ooo
It's a mechanical bull, number one
You'll take a ride from anyone, everyone, wants a ride,
pulls away, ooo,from you oo oo oo oo oo oo oo
