| Tegan and Sara – I Can't Take It Lyrics | 18 years ago |

This is one of Sara's songs, but Tegan did an interview in 2005 where she sort of explained each song from the album. This is what she said about "I Can't Take It": "This is another song like I was saying earlier that when Sara wrote "I Bet It Stung", she wrote several different songs in a series. There was "Under Your Arm" and "Get It While You Can", and "I Can't Take It" was right at the end. So that's another song that got on that was from that series of songs she wrote. When we were doing interviews for our bio, I described hearing that song for the first time to be like Sara was standing on my chest. I just felt really sad, and that was having heard all the other songs in order leading up to that one. I know that when Sara was writing these songs it was during the end of her relationship and it was someone she'd been friends with for almost ten years and been with for four years. It was just the psyche of it, when you've known someone for half your life, literally, and then have to leave them, and not necessarily because you want to but just because it's the right thing to do, and it's just not healthy and you're not good anymore, there's no growth and you have to have growth. And when I hear that song, the idea of that all happening just makes me sick to my stomach a little bit. But it's in an enjoyable way." http://www.teganandsara.org/library/interviews/d_2005.xx.xx_p_sonyconnect.html i think reading that made it even sadder than i thought it was before. |
