"Gimme Sympathy" Lyrics :::
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
I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES
GIMME SYMPATHY
AFTER ALL OF THIS IS GONE
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER BE
THE BEATLES OR THE ROLLING STONES
OH SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES, YOU'RE YOUNG
COME ON BABY PLAY ME SOMETHING LIKE HERE COMES THE SUN
DON'T GO
STAY WITH THE ALL UNKNOWN
STAY AWAY FROM THE HOOKS
ALL THE CHANCES WE TOOK
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 WOULD YOU RATHER BE
THE BEATLES OR THE ROLLING STONES
OH SERIOUSLY, YOU'RE GONNA MAKE MISTAKES, YOU'RE YOUNG
COME ON BABY PLAY ME SOMETHING LIKE HERE COMES THE SUN

It's March 2021 and I just discovered this band a week ago. I am completely in love with them. I've heard every single song of theirs available on Spotify and now I'm watching their videos on KZread. They have this air of hope around them. They make me feel hopeful and understood. Their music is just so heartwarming. I'm very glad I found them.

Lots of great singers and actors have major anxiety issues. They can deal with it when they’re on stage or on camera, so you’d never suspect, but watch them just trying to have a conversation with someone they don’t know, and they’re suddenly the world’s biggest introvert.

As Pete Townshend once wrote, the greatest motivator of the artist in me is my insecurities. He wrote that on that 1993 album Psychoderelict. A brilliant but flawed album the draws upon his experiences as an artist and from his many projects that failed to bring to light, like lifehouse.

I'm very old but when I was a kid I used to fantasize about being in a band where everyone was super talented and we all liked/loved each other and the lead singer was gorgeous, had style, a bit of wicked attitude and miles of talent. This video makes me feel that way. I want to be in this band. Just the way she comes toward the stage... so excited to be with her guys and ready to really put on a show!
And...back again
I miss when Canada had a proper music scene... I miss OG Much Music. When Canadian art/culture was unique and special and youth really followed it... Remember seeing bands like Metric, Bedouin Soundclash, Alexis etc in College and it was just a great time. Still great canadian bands out there, but they don't get the recognition they deserve, by other canadians.

The part when the kids start running out the open door with the butterfly wings never fails to hit me RIGHT IN THE FUCKING FEELS. Like, I legit start crying. Nobody's cutting onions or any weak-ass emotions-avoiding bullshit like that; this just sucker-punches me right in the soft, warm part of me that still defiantly exists despite 34 years of a not-easy life and a fucking global pandemic. Like a Roadrunner cartoon, it ignites a powder trail straight to my heart and causes it to explode in a burst of "holy shit, all is not lost". Stay safe, kids. You're all we got now.

This song makes me feel very emotional... It's not even a sad song it's just the vibe of it and the power of Emily's words trying to lift up our spirit after a hard time, having experience something bad, or even when you are at a state where you can't see any light.... 'after all this is gone, who would you rather be?' It's as if she tells you to look forward for the better days and she reassures you that whatever is happening to you now will pass and urges us to focus on the exciting part that awaits. This is one of the many aspects of this song!

Haven't heard this song in like a year or two, but it's been playing in my head over the last week or so. Such a great song.
It's really refreshing to hear rock style music in clubs and on the radio. You can dance to this without being annoyed by the typical dance music. Theres a substance to this, it makes you feel something.
Their songs are really rich and textured. I like these guys a lot.
I love Metric they give me a sense of freedom. When I feel really heavy. People who I love can say simple things like they care of my well-being, that's how simple I am and they will have my attention. Then it takes one mean act and I add my twist and Na I don't roll that way. I'll roll the right way with you. Idk anymore. I just realised I'm a forgiving person. If I consider you I mean it. If I say I love you I mean it. I'm not perfect but I never expected you to be either. FML

This music is so flowing and refreshing...
Amen. I Love this song. It's one of my favorite alternative songs.
I somehow NEVER forgot this videoclip. It's engraved in my memories. The video and the line "Play me something like 'Here Comes The Sun'". The children with fairy wings at the end was somehow even more memorable than everything else, there's something so pure to it.

I love this girl...great music! Sooo many good songs.....so rare these days!!!
Just saw y’all in Boston a couple nights ago and I’m so happy you played this song. It always makes me tear up - ever since hearing it in San Marcos, TX years ago when y’all played it at Float Fest. My favorite song by Metric. I can’t wait to grab the new album.
i'll never get sick of this song
Heard this song for the 1st time 10 years ago when I had decided to leave everything and started traveling. Never been on a plane. Never been out of state. I was scared shitless and this song just pushed me through it.
i remember the first time i listened to them, 12 years ago! it was pure love and this music's album still fascinates me even today 💖
Emily is gorgeous and crazy talented. Amazing, real woman.
Does music get any more fun than this? Emily Haines is easily one the hottest talents in music ! Her alone is a visual and vocal treat.
this song takes me back to a day i would call "one of the best days of my life".i spent all day missing that wholesome feeling and coming back to this video every single day, somehow, fills a part of me. i wish i could stay forever in that day.
Still hear this on the radio now and again- twice on my run to Montréal last week. Great song.
¡Es una de mis canciones favoritas! ¡Me hace sentir mariposas!
So excited to finally see them live in in the US THIS YEAR!!!! 2022 tour 🎉🎉🎉
So, when I was around 16-18 I would constantly be playing this band on my heaadphones as I walked from one place to another - they never left my side, always in the mix. I haven't heard a single song in about 10 years and the memory OF the band came back to me by chance.. it didnt take shape or form, but knew I was going to persist and remember so that I can retouch on such fond memories... The Metric, thank you!
I fell in love with Metric during the dark days of covid. She gave me hope with a banger of a song. She is absolutely gorgeous and this is a great video and song. I love the way she moves her shoulders and legs with her unique dancing style. They never signed to a record company and mix and produce their albums with clever guitarist James Shaw. They are all multi-instrumentalists - Stay Independent !!!! ❤ 🇨🇦

I also need to add after seeing many music videos in my life this one is one of my top favorites. Innovative idea, authentic, complements the song while producing an interesting and entertaining video without the need to a lot BS over production. The costume changes were NOT CG! Just great planning and shooting. The kids in butterfly wings at the end is just the cherry on top.
