But now we are really getting to be a part of the conversation, and our audience is so, so diverse.
TEGAN AND SARA UTUBE PLUS
A few blocks away, at A.P.C., Sara is taken with a hooded khaki parka, but, true to her reputation as the more conservative one (at least when it comes to purchases,) she says she wants to think about it, though it does have its plus points-she says it might help her in her quest to look like one of her fashion icons, “ Judd Nelson in his trench at the end of The Breakfast Club.”Īs Sara regards herself in the mirror, Tegan muses, “Thirteen years ago I couldn’t have imagined that everything we are doing could have happened-that we would be talking to Vogue! We were so used to the idea that we were gay, so we would be marginalized. Tegan falls in love with a witty biker jacket that has a scarf-print front and back-blue flowers on a yellow background-and leather sleeves, saying she wishes they were Oasis and could just wear jackets and jeans on stage. “We still wear larger things,” Sara says, “but with a structured element.” They don’t want to be locked into any preconceived notions of what young, cool gay women should be wearing: After all, Tegan adds, “If Kanye can wear a skirt on stage, why can’t we be somewhat androgynous? But it’s a feminine androgyny, doing it in our way.”Īt Rag & Bone, the women consider a pair of lean trousers that are half fabric, half-leather: “We can be the Bon if not the Jovi!” they joke. They have also developed an understanding of the kind of clothes that best suit their diminutive physiques, recognizing that higher priced items tailored for women can be preferable to the vintage and men’s department finds the pair love but which, alas, often swim on their small frames. “Color! But black reads very well-maybe because we do a lot of projections and light shows.” “And you know what doesn’t work for stage?” Sara explains.
As we stroll from the Little Cupcake Bakeshop on Prince Street to Rag & Bone on Houston (a favorite label), Sara describes the fashion intelligence the pair have lately accumulated, which includes the realization that a sleeker silhouette is better for performing. The cheating explanation would make sense too, but I related this song to my own experience of unrequited love- the frustration of trying to convey your feelings but also constantly hold them back, and hold back your hurt/anger when the person takes them for granted in some way.On a recent afternoon, the two enthusiastically agree to a little shopping in SoHo. This relationship is all about pure drama and over-exaggerated, perhaps even histrionic emotions (hence 'alligator' tears).
Whatever the case, it's is definitely about feeling bitter and heartbroken. Maybe there's a third girl in the picture and it's a love triangle? Or maybe she's angry at the girl being insensitive/ignorant towards her feelings, but again she'd rather not 'make a scene'.
Her fear of losing this girl means she'd rather just bite her tongue and conceal her feelings than risk compromising their existing relationship. There's this mess of emotions going on, the love for this person but also the bitterness towards them. She's crazy about this girl and talks about her endlessly. I think this means that even though the girl treats her badly ('runs around' on her), she'd 'sooner die' than go without her, or at least go without having this person in her life however painful it might be for her feelings to not be reciprocated. General CommentI've always thought this song is about unrequited love. Thanks for putting these lyrics up here! Can't wait for Sainthood to drop so we can all be sure! Kudos on getting the "hissy fits, mind my manners" part, that one has been stumping me for days. I've listened to this song a thousand times, and this is what I've gotten from it. It sounds like "rotten" to me, but that doesn't exactly seem right. The last part, where you put "wild", I've got no clue. Oh, and replaced "mind over mouth" with "my motor mouth". Minor corrections, but important just the same. But I think in some particular parts she's definitely saying "Oh you." I changed "cry" to "cried" and "spill" to "spilled". I'm pretty sure most of the time she's saying over you, because in the clip of Tegan singing from it on she says it as "over you". I'm not sure about all the over you parts. They have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages, from the 2015 Oscar Telecast to major festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza and Glastonbury. General CommentYou got them pretty close. Twin sisters born in Canada, Tegan and Sara have sold more than one million albums, and have received seven Gold certifications, one Double Platinum certification, three Juno Awards, two Polaris Prize nominations, and a Grammy nomination.
