Because they're one of the best bands of the nineties/2000s. Because they're Canadian. Because they're cute. Because they're relatable. Because they just are.
tegan takes sara's heart in the beginning, meaning that tegan hurts sara. then in the end you see that tegan heart has also been taken, which means she also has been hurt, or something like that :) There is a video of sara explaining what it means it on youtube
White stripes may have covered this, but when they did... THEY OWNED IT. I don't care who did the original. This is now a White Stripes song. No offense... They did it about 10x's better.
I suppose...I just find the original is much more heartfelt. It's painfully clear that Sara Quin is the writer, not Jack White. His interpretation, while being full of character, feels to severe for the delicate song. It overrides the fragile emotion of the song and creates discord, that would be awesome if it amounted to something. It fails to be haunting though, and ends up just being a little empty.
Can someone explain what this video is about? Cause the only parts that seemed to have any thought behind them were the part with the paper hearts being ripped out and the part with the hands sewing her up.
Sara is in the one. She has less forearm tatoos than Tegan, i guess that is the only physical characteristic I can really think of. after a while you just know who is who. Aditionally, this is Sara's song, so she is the central character. Also, Tegan has the area beneath her lower lip pierced.
Tegan has her lip peirced, and Sara's face seems a little thinner than Tegan's most of the time... like others have said, after a while you'll be able to just tell them apart.. not only by their looks, but their voices and writing/music style as well.
this song sounds a LOT better than the version by the white stripes. THey sound like they have issues in the other video. TEGAN AND SARA ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
I find the voice of the singer beautifull at the beginning, but after like 30 seconds it starts to annoy me, although the white stripes have some awkward parts in it, I like it better than this version.
I like the intro of this song very much though, no offense.
this song played all the time while i worked in pacsun for the holidays...it's ballin...addictive. i've just started listening to this type of music but yeah. it's cool stuff
I am am White Stripes addict, so I am biased to thier version (and I like distrotion). But I like the original also, If it wasn't for the original there would be no cover. It's my opinion that when an artist chooses to cover another song, its like they are letting you in to what they may like to listen to.
I am in favor of Tegan and Sara's because I am more of a Tegan and Sara fan, but I do have to give props to The White Stripes. If the girls, or the label didn't approve of the song then it wouldnt have made it. So, good job.
I first heard the white stripes version, and even though i love that band i think their version is awful. But i love Tegan and Saras original :) But people like different things and i see no reason why we have to "argue" who recorded the best version
yeah it feels like the melody got lost in all the distortion.But then i heard this one and i think it is so much better. The white stripes are a very good band though, hope to see them in the studio again soon.
No. It really isn't ironic. Considering that being gay is genetic. And that studies show that if one twin is gay, there's like a 70% chance or something that the other one is gay as well. Yep mhmm
And to the simple minded people who will never learn to accept people and have to constantly insult others, I actually feel bad. How can you ever be happy knowing that you're putting someone else down? Do you do it to feel better about yourself? If anyone wants to enlighten me, please be my guest. I guess I'm just too passionate and emotional that I can't live with the fact I've hurt someone intentionally...
I have a bad habit of doing that, but I wouldn't say I feel better about myself. I think it's more for the feeling of control. That's how all humans are. They want to control and organize everything.
i agree with what you said, soupy.. it seems to me that some people feel superior when they're slagging others - and their opinions - off. human nature, indeed! it's nice to read a post like yours, though. i have gotten on my high horse numerous times throughout youtube when others are soooo rude. ok, no more psychological disection.. great song, love the clip. thanks elila.
I understand that it's your opinion, but why does it have to be a competition between the songs? I think they're both great. Everyone's different and has different tastes so nobody can really state for a fact one is better than the other because it's your personal opinon. =/
