Metric - Dr Blind

StrangeNotDeranged Says:

Jul 13, 2011 - I interpret the meaning of "Dr. Blind" to mean that many doctors don't know what the cause of a problem is. They're blind to the person's actual problem. They just prescribe medicine to make the symptoms go away... instead of finding a way to really treat the underlying problem.I've had headache problems in the past, so I've experienced this firsthand. My doctor prescribed meds to make the headaches go away. He didn't figure out what was causing the headaches and try to fix that problem.

The song is actually about modern people who live in sad and lonely world (the lack of light, hollow sea, cops that kill). These people feel lonely and helpless. So they try to forget it all by abusing substances. Its like when you are sad, go to pub and say, Hey just give me some beer... (Dr. Blind just prescribe the Blue one) Dr Blind is like a barman. He dont give a ... he just "prescribe" what you ask for

Sep 13, 2011 - Am i the only one freaking out? I click on this vid because it had an inviting thumbnail of a smiling emily haines and im like 'oh it'll be the song i know so well; doctor blind',but then that faster drum and guitar lead beat starts and im like 'WHAAAAAAAAA!?',i seriously thought youtube had taken down the original song coz of copyright infringement and replaced it but then she starts singing and its emily alright. And lol at the Mrs robinson. But it makes me wonder...WHERE DID YOU GET THIS?!?!

Dec 7, 2011 - @BigMouthBakaNeko Nice point of view. I looked at it a lilttle differently though. Less of a critique of the healthcare system and more on consumer capitalism. Can't stop shopping, I can't stop...we're told buying things make us happier but they don't. You go miserable to the doctors & they give you anti-depression pills (blind of how our lifestyles are an empty shell You leave, watch a commercial, shop more. If the dizzying highs don't subside...well try a blue pill then

Jan 14, 2012 - @BigMouthBakaNeko that's the point, "toothless dentist", "cops that kill", and a blind doctor who's supposed to give blue and red pills...

Jan 21, 2012 - Dr. Blind is a song by Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton, a side project of hers, but the version I know is much more melancholy than this. I have no idea if this is a separate Metric version or what.

Feb 9, 2012 - This totally doesn't sound like the average Emily Haines Song (to me at least), but I'm totally in love with it! It sounds sexy but it's sooo clever!

jim3e8 Says:

Mar 13, 2012 - Wow, this is a refreshingly different take. Thanks!

ThePegasi Says:

May 6, 2012 - Have you heard the Emily Haines and the Soft Skeleton version now? If not you should, it's awesome though totally different. Thanks for introducing this one to me, though.

BriteNiteProductions Says:

May 13, 2012 - Where can I buy this version? :o

oproski Says:

May 20, 2012 - Thanks so much for posting this. It's a great variation to the piano version (not sure which one is the original), I love it.
