Gimme Sympathy - Acoustic

[metro364]

The Beatles........3 greedy overrated bastards and John IMHO the only one of them that really deserves the legend status is John Lennon

[brollihart]

@metro364 nobody on the internet cares about anybody elses opinion

[metro364]

@brollihart if nobody cares then why are you commenting on my post? 

[Arcadia1810]

Oh my god I @#$)(@%ing love Metric. Just discovered them.

[ale1ymtz]

@Arcadia1810

I just did too!  in love with them now!!!

[ramordepp]

Discovered her today. I am now a fan.

[cncyl]

很好听的一首歌！

[bonklers1527]

Metric is a fan of The Rolling Stones? NOT The Beatles?

I like this song..

[DavidZeroX]

Some people say that The Rolling Stones were the bad guys meanwhile The Beatles were the good ones. False: The Rolling were more good, they are from London, a relative good place to live, meanwhile The Beatles come from Liverpool, a place from sealers and all of that things.

[fluckyea]

Beatles were insanely popular for a while and their music will stand throughout time, but they ended up resenting each other and broke up.

Rolling stones weren't nearly as popular, but still tour with a huge fan base, and they're still friends who tour together...and most of them are still alive

[republicfalcon]

she has the most beautiful voice of any indie rock lead

[freecomptechreview]

although the Beatles are the best band of all time I would still be rolling stones.

[WalksThroughLife]

This is great!

[alexthetaorionis]

The tuning is EADAC#E

[MsAndreche]

no she is not lip synching...she is just amazing!

[captainsmiles66]

I don't usually care about singers too much, but I gotta say Miss Haines, you are amazing. I love your work, as well as your work ethic. Keep it up!

[griff223]

I would be the rolling stones. is she lip synching?

[halfstep44]

what is she saying in the beginning, before the music starts that sounds like it ends in "...broken social scene." just curious

[dscorneau]

@halfstep44 It's a band actually. Some sort of "supergroup" although they don't like the term.

[anything4what]

@halfstep44 I think she says Hey, this is Broken Social Scene, probably because shes also a part of that group, which is a collection of various indie Canadian artists, they're all very good and they tend to do more acoustic-style music. Check them out, and all the individual artists too!

[AyoMophizzle]

RESPECT TALENTS....

[holyhellitsreal]

It's just the one string that seems to sound out of tune on the bridge...really no big deal...great song!

[onlyinmydreams06]

@holyhellitsreal no i think it's the chord itself. on purpose, to make it sound a little more complexe maybe?idk. =) i think it's lovely

[LasVegasandEngland]

Beatles. Any day of any week.

[juniwilliams]

@LasVegasandEngland overrated. Rollingstones!

[DJOmyGata]

I was having a shitty couple of months until I heard this song.

[babelcarlota]

this song made me cry

[holyhellitsreal]

I love it but that one string is outta tune....irritating lol

[brollihart]

@holyhellitsreal its not the guitar is just not in standard tuning

[koch6969]

@brollihart the tuning is just fine i figured it out just now after looking it up on a guitar tab site and they were wrong so i screwed around for 15 mins and voila no need too tune strangly for this one

[juniwilliams]

@holyhellitsreal altered tuning

[MrFuckyoshit1]

i think acoustic is waaay better .

[32mrmanic1]

Like? More like LOVE!

[yamirgh]

no k tiene metric k cuandoo escucho lus rolas estan como k muy relax o como k te hacen pensar nose ...........

[yamirgh]

ojss



[ratmq]

I'm an old school guy raised on Zepplin, The Beatles, and The Rollin' Stones.......These guys are amazing. Nice to see people still making "real" music.

[paulmccartneyfanclub]

here comes the sun :)

[PseudoReligion]

chills have shot down my spine from 0:00 to 3:51

[sickmuse1984]

Love Emily

[JustJules791]

Emily is one of the few singers that sounds good live and on record. Nowadays, it's all auto-tune. I wish only the best to her and METRIC!

[k4rlt33]

mhhm emily haines :)

[proulxes]

I love her smile...

[Metrriccc]

Jimmy Shaw must be so in love with her. 

[erinjunkala]

Oh you are too good Metric.

[thesoftsquid]

i'll remember someday, all the chances we took

[balaalalaslk]

This is the best under rated band today

i really hope something major happens, like a grammy or something they deserve it

[bubbah671]

fiest or emily?

[empticire]

@bubbah671 emily



[iloverobotpancakes]

acoustic metric <3



[TomBrandon121]

Talk like an open book....

[TeuTrei]

jesus, something about that voice keeps making me replay it

[reallysuperbigrawr]

"Hey, now this isn't Broken Social Scene!"

YESSSSS

[SOSMisterMoo]

@roleypoleyoley21 Tks man i really understood it now. Great song by the way

[urlacherfan555]

nice melody



[jihadpizza]

I can feel it in my bones

[shakeitup45]

awsome

[rdubyeah]

PLEASE RELEASE AN ACOUSTIC ALBUM.

[artisticmilk]

this song changes my life

[SOSMisterMoo]

I can hear: "I can feel it in my balls".

[17BigMac95]

I would be the Beatles, I don't know about everyone else...

[DL345]

@17BigMac95 I talked to someone about this once and I chose the Rolling Stones so that I wouldn't have to see two of my best friends die.

[KalikaInLeather]

@17BigMac95 are you kiddin? The Stones! plus the title itself is an hommage to them, cmon "Gimme Sympathy"? Gimme Shelter + Sympathy for the Devil! (yeah my father really orientated my taste in music.. xD)

[MrFlyerGuy]

How hasn't Emily Haines gotten her angel wings yet?

[sprocket2cog]

@MrFlyerGuy she has... ;) she just hides it in her voice.

[kozzymotto3]

@sprocket2cog fuckin stupid

[Shiftingdead]

@MrFlyerGuy cuz that would involve her dying?

[89Altair]

@MrFlyerGuy Just because she doesn't show them off all willy nilly doesn't mean she ain't got 'em.

[JudeIceCool3000]

@MrFlyerGuy Nowhere in the bible are angels described as having wings...

[DeadHelena]

this is SO GOOD.

[chasingbelle19]

When I grow up, I want to be Emily Haines.

[TheRealBarnez]

@chasingbelle19 I would say that... but I dont want a sex change

[deadeaded]

They sooooo need to do an acoustic album...

[thesmithjs]

the acoustic version is very elegant, her voice is beautiful.

[gnomencandle]

this is music for meditation

[EKAFEX]

I really love this song and video. This acoustic version is great, I love the intimacy.

[BeesInTheCity]

All '' Gimme Sympathy'' Songs are amazing! < 3

[Gobbikins]

:) i love it.

[33parul]

her voice is heavenly ....angelic....i cant help but just listen to this again and again.......till i play again

[xela940]

i need an "LOVE" button, "LIKE" didn't work for me.

[piter09100]

thats really amazing...i can feel it in my bones:)

[hotcatmax123]

11 people missed the like button cuz there is no way someone could not like this song

[clasanta]

even better than the original

[MsPres96]

ahh ! this is too good...

i got the chills

[whatlifebringsme]

not gonnna lie its not the fact that you have an amazing voice its the power in the words you sing..seriously makes me feel like whenever i belt this song out in the shower or in my car i can sing it like you.... beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice, beautiful artists

[monkeyphart190]

@whatlifebringsme so true.

[lucasssss5]

Huh, first time I've ever heard this song. Love at first sight...

[RushToFall]

My God, this version of the song is amazing! I can't understand why someone would not like such a perfect song.

[LasVegasandEngland]

who'd you rather be. the beatles or the rolling stones.

[TheThrillofit18]

I would seriously like to know how anyone can fucking dislike this song. This is true music. If everyone in the world took 3:51 out of their lives to listen to this song and think about what they never have time to think about, I deff think the world would be a better place.

[patchbeard]

I just realized that "Gimme Sympathy" is a reference to "Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy For The Devil". Clever.

[nothing980454]

I keep reading about all these people that don't like this song and don't like the lyrics and such... I can't even believe it. I just discovered this song yesterday and since then it's all I've been thinking about. It's just amazing and the lyrics are very powerful. I have to think that the people who don't like this song are just not listening deep enough.

[TitchTV]

That's a great great song made even better. So so cool. Nice one guys.

[snakeony]

amazing song xd

love her voice

[thekz4444]

I love her so amazing raw voice. 

[TimDyck]

It's nice hearing the song raw and unmixed. This is how it sounded when it was written and by far the best way to enjoy it.

[Jungo14]

Metric Needs An Acoustic Album. I love this song but i love the acoustic version even more

[ronjeremy72]

@Jungo14 get the "plug in plug out" ep to hear more accoustic , its beautiful.

[peeweeRamone]

What a very, very beautiful version of the song!

[twilight28adtf]

awezzomeee

[ALLYCHOOMUSIC]

i love how he looks at her

[Montecastel]

I loveee it! \o/

[TheMaks1984]

[AudioVideoLOVER]

Just recently found out about you... wowwww brilliant songs. Thank you for simply existing....

[MaxTheGhost]

I can never sing along to these songs that well... her range is so insane O_O

[ChileanIggy]

[MASTERCON12]

@ChileanIggy Just google it, it is like the first result.

[wesmik420]

[jodymanic]

[MXB2001]

Proof that a great song is independent of its arrangement.

[azndriverssuck]

[infamouslo]

[Buddhahahahaha]

I think i love her...

[norskwizard]

[GitsieLolipop]

[GracieLue2]

[lexa0076]

[MyJozzi]

[marelnx]

[TheRealBarnez]

@skizification Their "Fantasies" album has an extended edition with acoustics of all the songs :)

[Alleyana]

Emily Haines is the reason I love music the way that I do.

[HeartlessChibi]

I personally like the acoustic version than the mv...the mv's not that bad, but this sounds waaayyy better :)

[MrBushytop]

@HeartlessChibi  I agree. Really like the accoustic version.

[jordangarcia849]

I think I'm in love with her.

[wesl8160]

i wish they put theys version's on itunes just with Emilys voice and guitar sounds like true music

[williamjamesbrown]

[popoju]

@justliveyourliife are you serious...IM SO GOING...

[napkinrings]

Does anyone know the chords used by Jimmy in this video?

[Anonymite]

@napkinrings it's in E A D A C# E tuning. Intro+verse chords(get hot..) 002000, 079000, 0-9-11-000, 024000.

Pre-Chorus chords(we're so close...): 054050, 076070 (repeat x2)

The chorus gets complicated, cannot explain it here.

[jphereitgoes]

I really like this, its different, mysterious, the music is peaceful

[music1213]

LOVE this.

[boyking1243]

@justliveyourliife Yeah as far as I know they are coming to Ottawa, heard rumors of the NAC hosting them to do an acoustic concert. just rumors but still.

[happyjack80]

@KeepStrumming  and its perfect too

[spliffthedog]
