Tegan and Sara - The Con (Acoustic)

[waakkeuppp]

all of the songs in this session blow me away- they are truly brilliant

[ADelude94]

I must have just gone to heaven <3

[RussiaPrussia]

Frankly I don't care if someone likes boys or girls and really it's nobody's business. Their sexuality shouldn't matter; their music should.

[possomfish]

Music doesn't have a sexuality. Get used to it, because sooner or later you're going to have to realize not everything needs to be identified by a sexuality, and certainly not music.

[TBTFree]

Tegan and Sara aren't about being gay. Their music is about the feelings anyone can have in love- uncertainty, fear, anxiety, tranquility, longing. This is a lovely song, no matter who sings it.

[EncircleMeDais]

This is so much better than on the record. Omg ALL of their songs are 100x better acoustic.

[dr3amstat3s]

@EncircleMeDais kinda like the whole So Jealous album. I hope their next cd is a throw back, and they get back to their acoustic stuff.

[EncircleMeDais]

@dr3amstat3s Yeah! I hope they dont do all ... dancy? stuff, like some of their collaborations >< Dont get me wrong, I love the songs! I just couldnt take a whole album of it. I want them to go back to stuff like The Con and So Jealous :)

[dr3amstat3s]

@EncircleMeDais I agree. I love the collabs too, and their covers are incredible. "Dancing in The Dark", "When You Were Mine", and "Turnpike Ghost" for example. But I'd also love to hear something completely acoustic from them, or a good mix of electronic and guitars like So Jealous. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan from the beginning til the end, but even with the few keepers like "Ocean" and the B-side "Light Up", Sainthood was disappointing. I miss the "Monday Monday Monday" era.

[vanemart24]

they're lesbians...but damn... why look like a man !!!!

[stacyramsey]

It's music. Just pure, wonderful music. Not gay music. It just happens to be sung by two gay women. They're both human beings, they just happen to be gay. Gay people are no different. We laugh the same. Cry the same. Eat the same. Breathe the same. Write the same and sing the same. Open your mind a little people.

[juvebaba11]

Nobody likes me, maybe if I cry!

[istetchthesun]

oh tegan and sara with winter

[doodledump14]

this is so good except the harmony in the verses is too loud :(

[bluepatriot1896]

Lol! I think it's interesting that their sexual orientation even comes up in conversation in this sort of venue. Certainly it is not something to be ignored because it is part of who they are; part of their individuality. But they are wonderful artists with obvious musical talent. What does it matter if they like chicks or dudes? They make great music! Again, lol!

[Adagiolove]

There's a reason there are no dislikes. Just sayin'.

[o0HannahoO]

i wish the top comments didnt have to be about sexuality, couldnt it simply be, damn this is awesome! or something along those lines. you know, having something to do with the music

[lndefinable]

I like their acoustic versions better than the original ones. :)

[aliquidaliquis]

This was the first Tegan & Sara song I ever heard - well, I heard the original. I have a thing for acoustics, and this one is great. But for this one, I actually think I like the original better. Still awesome, though.

[SoYeahMK]

@aliquidaliquis you and i seem to have similar tastes...i bet you prefer the nineteen and dark come soon acoustic version right?

[aliquidaliquis]

@SoYeahMK That's so weird that I should see this reply now, because I've been listening to T&S all day (finally listening to more of there songs) but I keep going back to listen to the acoustic of Nineteen. The original's great, but there's something about the emotion in the acoustic version... the acoustic of Dark Come Soon is really wonderful too! I'm so glad my friend showed me this band.

[SoYeahMK]

@aliquidaliquis I definitely agree. they are amazing, i wish they got more notoriety

[Savee0]

it be awesome if they just released like a side acoustic record with old songs and maybe a coupla newe ones

[pimperella200]

Which one has the higher voice,

Tegan or Sara?0_o

[itsjustmedownhere]

the live acoustic stuff is best imo

[smurfandlemon]

I love it when they both change the pitch of their voices it shows how much range they can get form their vocals :D

[Gr1mjowchick]

-Tegan's face-3

[w0lfparad3]

odd tuning. derp.

[Caitlyndable]

another tegan and sara song that made me rape the replay button. <3 i love these girls

[pitasmiles]

this is amazing. i love this song.

[ROSSKIAH]

Perfect Harmonies. PERFECT

[littleindie27]

great ;)

[littleindie27]

great.. ;)

[SThpunk1]

what type of guitar are they using?

[EmmaFriis]

@SThpunk1 the guy is playing Martin, and i believe Tegan and Sara are both playing Gibson

[blackangelelphie95]

I adore them.

Tegan Quinn <3

[MrShake144]

i like the acoustic version better. i dont know why.

[MarieTromborg]

@MrShake144

i know why, 'cause it's then times better when they don't have the studio fixing up their voices! :)

[x3meiona]

Tegan and Sara Quin are sooo amazing! I hope I get to see them live someday!

[13Musicrazy]

Clones hahahahah

[ilybbycakez]

amazing

[basylica1]

Tegan looks a little like fizgig from dark crystal around 1:52 here, which is actually completely an adorable thing :)

[MrShake144]

@basylica1 fizdig?



[Rabidfangfan247]

@basylica1 WHOA, YOU'RE RIGHT

[il0v3TeganandSARA]

i love sara's voice when she's all deep. i think it sounds better.

[LifeandDeath92]

fucking incredible!

[dannydropdeadxx]

I agree. It seems different.

[lawrughh]

I disagree, I think she sounds beautiful as always.

[Velma20]

i agree also...her voice sounds..harder than normal

[littledp87]

She kind of sounds out of tune. She kind of over sings tegan

[cinderellastorynut]

sooo goooooood

[Stammitti90]

Most of the songs I've heard by these two are so much better when played acoustic. Either way, some brilliant stuff.

[melikeagua]

i agree, first time i saw them perform was acoustic in-store and it was brilliant. way better.

[Schadowcat356]

I love this song, the acoustic verion just gives me goosebumps. Pure brilliance!

[JCampRestored16]

ahh! I LOVE Tegan!! This acoustic version is even better than the original! They're so wonderful.

[lessinbeen]

clearly you're a moron.

[xcrunkxxcrayonx]

i went to see them live too, but because they are gay they always have a bunch of lesbians there and me and my friend kara held hands to pretend we were gay too so know girls would hit on us or anything, but the concert was great if you think they are great on recording you wont belive how amazing it is live

[kaolgu]

That's funny, I'm planning to do that too with my sister-in-law when I go see them live in October. Would girls really hit on you or did you hold hands just in case?

[NOFXdonna]

wow you people are hilarious. just because they have a lesbian fanbase does not mean all the girls at their concerts are lesbian. i am straight but i have no problem going to a t&s concert.

saying crap like "Would girls really hit on you or did you hold hands just in case?" makes me sad for the human race. people go to concerts to enjoy music not hit on other people. plus ur clearly ugly on the inside so i dont think anyone will want to hit on u!

[NOFXdonna]

they didnt have to say they are homophobic, its clear they are from their comments.

[michelle027girl]

@NOFXdonna wait whos a homophobic?!

[SpiderShane1]

@NOFXdonna Why do you even care about youtube comments?!?! Its fuckin youtube...I guarantee what you read on these comments, none of these fucks would express in real life to an actual persons face. Thats why its on a youtube comment...these people are losers who never get outside anyway. I'm a straight man who fuckin loves T&S and you like em too...so lets enjoy em, ok?

[MrFreako2010]

@NOFXdonna I'm straight and male and I love tegan and sara, and especially this album. I watch and listen because they're incredibly talented young artists, which is pretty damn obvious in these acoustic gigs. Their orientation doesn't matter a bit to me, because their music sings to the universal joys and pains of love.  I just wish they'd be more openly Canadian, too.:)

[HowPoetic]

they're so for real. i love it. i saw them live and dang, i was so captivated by them. It was amazing!! Their music seriously speaks for itself and they seem like such down to earth girls. i recommend seeing them live for anyone who hasn't seen them. they're amazing!

[adambrodykisses]

I love them acoustic! They're awesome!

:D

[doeikno]

I love how you can hear Tegan and Sara's music or anyone else's music and feel the same emotions and thoughts that were going through your mind when you first hear the song. Even if that is just a quick flashback of that emotion.

[doeikno]

I love how when they are playing they are strumming the guitar simultaneously.

[morganxacoustic]

yes, thats always a good thing when you're playing with a group. ;p

[scarlinggg]

sara just has a weird voice

[scarlinggg]

sara just has a weird voice

[ewdolores]

what the fuck? your a dumbass

[MikeyRaven12]

I really like them alot. and i like the acoustic version.

[TEGANandSARArX3]

i like acoustic versions, for some reason.

<3

[kmacattack3]

but amazing!!!

[sabakk]

Sara's singing this different than she usually does.

[adioskater12]

yea she sounds sick :( poor sara
