Metric – Gimme Sympathy Lyrics. Frontwoman Emily Haines told Drowned in Sound that this song was inspired by a conversation between her and guitarist/producer James Shaw. She explained: We opened for The Rolling Stones two nights at Madison Square Garden in NYC and since then analyzing what they represent has become a favorite theme of band conversations. In this song we ask the age- old question, ‘Who would you rather be: The Beatles or the Rolling Stones?’Here’s Jimmy’s answer: ‘Neither. One is dead and the other is corporate.’"In this reflective song, Metric allude to two classic rock songs: “Gimme Shelter” by The Rolling Stones and “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. The Rolling Stones song has a pessimistic message: that we are always a hair away from experiencing tragedy despite how happy we may be. However the Beatles song is about forgiving those who have wronged you and being optimistic about the future.
Which view is more correct? That of the optimist or the pessimist? According to Metric’s “Gimme Sympathy,” it all just depends on how you look at it.
