| Tegan and Sara – Hop a Plane Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
...from in interview in 07 :] Tegan on "Hop A Plane" It was the last song that I wrote, that I submitted for this record and actually, initially, no one really liked it all that much but I think it grew on all of us. And for me, I really like this song, cause it was the end of this like sort of emotional journey I had gone on. It was like, basically I had fallen in love with someone and was trying to woo them. And it finally came down to the fact that like.. "Just tell me if you want me. And if you don't, then get away from me." Interviewer: Yeah, what are the lyrics in the chorus? Tegan: All I need to know is that you're not mine. Interviewer: Yeah what's that... Tegan: Well we'd been having a very like passive-agressive sort of you know like... I was having an emotional relationship but we never really talked about how we felt about each other, we'd talk like hours and hours and hours everyday and like... Sara: They didn't hit that shit. Tegan: Yeah I don't think you can say "shit" on CBC radio, can you? Sara: Can't you bleep it out or whatever. Interviewer: I think you can now. Tegan: Yeah? Yeah basically we never hooked up. And we were basically dating and we talked hours and hours everyday and then I finally was like "What is going on between us?" you know. And I had written like all these pining, "come and get me", "save me from myself", "love me, why don't you love me" songs and finally I just like sent this song [Hop A Plane] to her and was like "what the fuck?" Interviewer: You sent the song to this person? Tegan: Yeah I sent all the songs to the person. I mean I was making it very clear that I was attempting to woo her through music because I had a hard time talking about my feelings in general conversation. So I would send each song as I went along and you know we had a rough patch, I sent "Call It Off" and you know like each song represented a chapter in the journey that we were taking together. And then "Hop A Plane" was the last song and it was sort of my way of saying like "if this isn't happening, you just need to let me know". Which, that did not happen. Interviewer: And so how did it end? Tegan: I mean it's over, I mean... never happened. Sara: They didn't hit that shit. Tegan: I didn't... Sara: Say it, it's okay, it's part of the therapy. Tegan: No it really wasn't about "hitting that shit" I really wanted to like marry the person. I was in a very desperate state. Sara: You wanted to hit that shit and get married. Tegan: Yeah. Interviewer: Well it's created art. Tegan: I got rejected. I had never been rejected before. This is my rejection record. Interviewer: Ok well it's a great song. Tegan: Thank you! |

| Tegan and Sara – I Was Married Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
It is about gay marriage. Sara on "I Was Married" The personal experience was that my girlfriend and I are common law, but she's an American and we were doing a permanent residency application for her to stay in Canada. As part of the application process you have to go in and basically declare your common law status before notary. So we got up really early and went to this notary in Old Montreal. I didn't want to get married and wasn't getting married but it felt so formal, like a wedding. I was thinking about how funny it is that my life seems so simple and natural, what everyone does in life. You fall in love with someone, you make sacrifices and you do things so you can stay together. Me being in love with a girl and wanting her to be with me, doing what I need to do to make her stay with me; it affects no one yet it's terrifying to people and they think you're a monster. |

Tegan did an interview in Feb of 2008 and she had this to say about "My Number" TEGAN:..."My number’ was written about my best friend, who, he like had this intense emotional relationship with me and then he fell in love with me. It was so hard for me, I felt so sad for the loss, and the loss was so gigantic because I was in the midst in a kind of emotional love affair with a friend of his who was a female. The triangle between us was so sad and so hard..." http://getglucky.blogspot.com/2008/02/tegan-sara-interview.html |
