Xiu Xiu - Isn't It A Pity (Galaxie 500)

Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu performing "Isn't It A Pity" by George Harrison, as inspired by Galaxie 500. Written by Harrison, Harrisongs LTD (ASCAP).
We mention Galaxie 500’s On Fire by name in a song called "Dr. Troll" on our first album. The closing lines of that song being "Listen to On Fire and pretend someone could love you." On Fire ends with "Isn't it a Pity" and their masterful and impassioned take on it has never failed to shred my heart to ribbons, even more now than then. - Xiu Xiu [Los Angeles]

Harrison explains: "'Isn't It a Pity' is about whenever a relationship hits a down point ... It was a chance to realise that if I felt somebody had let me down, then there's a good chance I was letting someone else down."
His lyrics adopt a nonjudgmental tone throughout [...]
