"Help I'm Alive" and "Front Row" are the two songs that Metric have released onto iTunes as singles from their upcoming (still) fourth effort 'Fantasies'. But it looks like another single is on the way, as the video for one of my personal favourites: "Gimme Sympathy" has appeared. It is the first video from the forthcoming album, and the first since 2007's grossly-edited video for "Empty" (from album 'Live It Out').
The video was uploaded by a couple of Metric superfans onto YouTube. Metric haven't officially posted the video themselves, so it is assumed that a leak is the culprit.
If you kinow the lyrics to the song, the video is actually quite clever. It depicts Emily dressing up and joining her band onstage. As they perform, they suddenly randomly begin to switch places with each other throughout the video. Emily is suddenly drumming while Jimmy is on lead vocals, and Josh playing guitar instead of bass. I'll have to admit, the random little kids in butterly suits at the end don't make a damn thing of sense, but hell, it's fun to watch.

About Me
- Devin General
- Devin General is a lazy seventeen year-old who was born at a ratty hospital in an industrially destroyed city in Southern Ontario. He has an unhealthy obsession with Canadian indie rock band Metric, and is currently sitting at his computer waiting desperately for the pre-order to arrive. He plays video games in his spare time (Devin needs a life), and likes to criticize things that he might not have the right to criticize. His greatest enemy in life is Pitchfork Media, the ultimate indie snob.
