Metric- “Gimme Sympathy”

I fucking love Metric! That’s the only way I can put it, seriously. The music, in my opinion of course, isn’t the best thing about the band, however, it is still amazing. What’s the best part you may be asking yourself, well I’ll tell you through a picture… They do say a picture is worth a thousand words right?

Emily Haines' LegsI’ll give you a big clue- THE LEGS! THE LEGS! THE LEGS!. It’s as if they never end 😛 But anyway onto the music: It’s great, a brilliant mix of good guitar work with some synthesizer in there too. I found them by accident originally, it seams to be that way for a lot of people according to the comments on Youtube. As I’m writing this I’m listening to “Combat Baby” but my favorite song from them has to be “Gimme Sympathy” and here you go-

The lyrics are as follows-

Get hot, get too close to the flame
Wild, open space
Talk like an open book
Sign me up
Got no time to take a picture
I’ll remember someday all the chances we took
We’re so close to something better left unknown
We’re so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who’d you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You’re gonna make mistakes, you’re young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”

Don’t go, stay with the all-unknown
Stay away from the hoax
All the chances we took
We’re so close to something better left unknown
We’re so close to something better left unknown

I can feel it in my bones
Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who’d you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You’re gonna make mistakes, you’re young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”

Gimme sympathy
After all of this is gone
Who’d you rather be?
The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?
Oh, seriously
You’re gonna make mistakes, you’re young
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
Come on, baby, play me a song
Like, “Here Comes the Sun”
