Metric - Gimme Sympathy

This song is my current singalong. In fact I don't sing, I scream. So it is more a screamalong.

I heard this on the radio a while back and instantly was hooked. Metric are a smashing group that hail from Canada. I love their rocking guitars, thumping drums and familiar lyrics. Their track Monster Hospital off their album Live It Out was absolutely epic. Their new album Fantasies is that times 10.

Gimme Sympathy's lyrics are so good. Referencing The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in a song gets instant cred from me.

"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?"


The video clip is simple but great. It is one of those things that when you watch it you'll be kicking yourself that you didn't think of it first.
