Metric - 'Gimme Sympathy'

[bigscissorslilpeople]

her voice gives me chills...love her!

[Player0314]

What a pretty girl with a pretty voice

[MrMichelleMoonlight]

..... and she's SUPERSWEET

[roypatrickhowell]

I fucking in love with her

[fredwilcox93]

Kinda nice to see her smiling and laughing for a change. She's cute when she's happy.

[Spagia6]

I love her so much!!! I loved how she laughed xD. She is an awesome singer!

[frootlups]

I got to see these guys in government center in Boston a couple of years ago. I've been a fan ever since.

[redglassesblueshoes]

holy shit, she sounds just like the recording!

[besterskater]

this song make me cry... it doesnt care if i am happy or not

In my opinion the best song ever.

greez from germany

[TheMacAtak14]

I love Jimmy (in a non sexual way)...the way he just zones out is so funny.

I love Emily (in a sexual way)...her facial expression when he says the track name (Gimme Sympathy) instead of the record name (Fantasies) at the beginning is so cute.

For the record I also love Joules & Joel (in a non sexual way)...but they're not in this video.

Metric <3

[Alyssa987321654]

how old is she?

[NearlyGroFAZ]

@Alyssa987321654

She's 37, and I guess she was 35 at the time of this video. And honestly, to me it's really crazy sometimes how it's possible that I can't help but consistently genuinely feel that I literally find her more adorable/gorgeous than near every other girl out there for the most part. I'm just another guy helplessly besotted by her I guess. Oh well! Love her and her music..

[darkfire79]

Love it :)

[ashleyemmawelder1234]

You are the only voice I like that's not edited.

You are my favorite band! <3 ILY.

[lauraah23]

omg i love her laugh at 0:53 its soo cute and the way the guitarman looks in this moment is also really adorable :)

[apolitikmusic]

The Velvet Underground.

[polymphus]

Is there a version of this that's been filmed about 10cm to the right? I can't quite tell if he's using a capo or not and I'm trying to transcribe this.

[acaspin]

@polymphus no capo, but if u get the E chord right (on the "so close.." part), please tell me, I always have the feeling that something's missing O.o

[DrkSh4d0wXx21704]

@polymphus Any chord played with a capo can be played with a simple barre. I doubt theres a capo used for a simple rhythm like the one used here. Try to figure out the bass root note from the chord he's playing then from that root determine the full embellished chord.

[EDROXMISOX]

I love how Jimmy gets into the music. He's in his own world and that's the way it should be :)

[fgycio]

i lover her giggles 2:01

[TheSicksouthside]

@fgycio you creepy fucker lmfao

[xLUCYxINxTHExSKYx]

oh gosh, her voice sounds exactly the same live, im so happy that she isnt all auto-tuned, GOOD JOB EMILY!

[axlroseislegend]

such sharp facial features. she's a number tne in her own way.

[drudius]

Rolling Stones

[Ashamanknight]

Does anybody know where I could find tabs for the way he plays it?

[LivefoMusic]

@Ashamanknight Here dude, check this. It's not exactly the same, but the tuning is basically right, and by listening to this, I could connect the dots.

Hope it works for you.

[JamesMajdali]

I love Emily's voice.

[upublic]

this is like knitting music from thin air

[Raxarax]

It seems so virgin compared to the album version lol.

[ruskmonster]

musicians who can actually play? who woulda thought! its probably cause they're from Toronto

[KirneH004]

I've now seen both the official video for this song and this version.

It sounds better when it's raw and honest like this-- it could be in a movie.

Henrik

[mognite]

too slow...

[rurocket]

awesome

[platypae333]

She's one of my three girl crushes (the other two are Tegan and Sara)

[ajwhhis]

i want to make babies with emily.

[poesok]

*u* i love it :D

[ungueltigesZeichen]

damn, it's really difficult to sing when you're sitting in such a position!! O.o she is great!! very gifted... i'm impressed

[kingmatt1200]

i want to be the beatles!

[AceInSpace14]

so cute(LL)

[mikerstew]

i love you Emily!

[OptimisticxAna]

is this standard tuning!!

does anyone know the tunning for this song?

[rpx1979]

@OptimisticxAna standard tuning, I think they're using a capo I think with a few power chords thrown in. Try: G C Bm Em and D mixed together. Slide C up 2 frets and that'll give you a D. xx

[OptimisticxAna]

@rpx1979 thank you soo much. :)

i was like freeking out

[DishRanAwayWithSpoon]

I thought that was beautiful

[ventouse]

Beautiful!

I have however difficulties finding the exact chords (like x-0-2-x-x-x etc.) used in this version, can anyone help?

[bunnyears55]

wow this is a great acoustic version :D

[Nuntype]

Ahh the memories, i used to listen to this song all the time before going to sleep, i'd sort of wrap up in my blanket and look at my window at the sky. I would without fail, feel at least slightly better if I was feeling down.

[TheBohemianPride]

my favorite song ( ...After " monster hospital" perharps :p)

[GirlsLeakBlood]

even half of metric is just as great

[liltwistedangel69]

If i had a voice like that I would constantly sing to everyone and myself. She has a gorgeous live voice!! I just fell in love with this song all over again....

[oakster15]

wow. her voice is really unedited on their albums. thats what lacks in a lot of music today. amazing!

[viperteen1569]

you have a beautiful voice!

[PK3R5020]

waht are the tabs? plz tell meee ;)

[lulegs]

so perfect

[MaKdDy14]

Great song

[skeeter6611]

The song is about being different.. trying something new.. not trying to be the beetles or rolling stones...

[philosopher1000]

and they are flat as one of those indie rock trendy bands that are highlited on NME or RollingStone magazine...

[bartelby123]

@philosopher1000 Unlike your shitty, wannabe trendy band? Riiiiight. Your comment is very telling of your obvious insecurities and your envy towards a successful, talented band. Have fun languishing in obscurity.

[honkyxadonis]

@bartelby123 see, i knew i'd find you here as well, getting mad at people for criticising your beloved band! they're not gonna fuck you just because you keep sticking up for them

[bartelby123]

@honkyxadonis Looks like I've got a stalker. Pathetic. But hey, keep following me around man. Find and read to all my comments if you'd like. Anything, so that you don't have to respond to any of my actual points or make any real arguments for why you think this band sucks. You're a broken record, dude. "This band is superficial!", etc...The same hollow insults. How are they less superficial than say, your beloved Michael Buble or Bob Dylan? You can't express your thoughts. You've got nothing.

[honkyxadonis]

@bartelby123 read my replies on the other video and then talk shit, i have laid it all out very succinctly.... it still took 3 panels. FYI i didnt 'follow' you here, i actually just wanted to hear them do an original acoustically to see if i liked it and just happened to see your reply to that guy

[teddybearlove7]

The beatles all the wayy

<3 this song mang

[XolittlesecretsoX]

i Love this version :D

[cathcole]

literally in love

[blackdenali7]

what retard would pic the stones? that's why the stones made it...the Beatles made the stones...

[ct3gct3g]

THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!!! =D

[MrAqeelrocks]

emily may not be the hottest thing but she has some vibe that attract me

[ShokyShrox]

I think she's pretty attractive in an odd way actually.

[thelooot]

@ShokyShrox your attractive in an odd way.

[tharbk01]

@ShokyShrox she looks like carrie anne moss

[raachel13]

[clintonskakun]

[halifaxskater]

[Tubenjunge]
