ever realize you really just wanna cuddle and smooch and just be really platonically homo with one of your friends
Tegan: “It’s not like I’m saying in my songs anything that would give you the impression that I am A: gay, or B: that I have the support of my family, but it’s the whole vibe around our band— the full disclosure and openness that I think gives people a lot to go on with our music.”
Every time I sit down, I think, “Maybe this will be the time when I don’t know how to finish a song, or I won’t be able to complete it, or it won’t make sense to anyone. Maybe no one will relate,” but it just works. It’s like magic in a way. I remember the first time I played Nineteen on stage and my knees wobbled. I was looking at all these people singing along with me - and not just singing because that’s what you do - but singing like the lyrics happened to them. I just write what everybody else is feeling, and that’s the magic potion; that I have something to say and it’s something that everyone has to say.
