[ofyvette]

1:58 "I lose my grip, I lose my ffOcus"

yes, Sara, yes I do.

[wojo4hitz]

@mizie711 I'm sure they will next time they make it to Oz. :)

[wojo4hitz]

@mizie711 :D hearing this for the first time was amazing...

[TnTunez]

i have no clever comment other than...im seriously in love with Sara. :D

[Allybatlovesyou]

I'm in love with your camera:)

[iJusWannaBe1126]

Sara. 

[shashiiawesome]

sara <33

[boywunder343]

sara is so sexy here....and im a gay man saying this

[lanuit5]

wojo4hitz, your videos are amazing, some of my very favourites ever. i must have watched dozens. thankyou very much, and keep up the good work!

[wojo4hitz]

@lanuit5 aw wow, thank you. i really appreciate it. :)

[lanuit5]

@wojo4hitz any time :)

you must have been to so many T&S shows - how many times have you seen them live? i saw them twice when they were last in Aus and i thought that THAT was committed, haha. (would've seen them more than twice but my financial situation wouldn't allow it!)

[wojo4hitz]

@lanuit5 ummmm... it's been a lot. ;) if it helps, all of the playlists on my channel were filmed by me. ;)

[lanuit5]

@wojo4hitz haha yeah, wow. it looks like it's been a lot!

[wojo4hitz2]

@lanuit5 lol... that would be about right. ;)

[Javacity]

Its it too soon to consider coming back to watch videos of them performing these songs live for the first time a nostalgic experience????

Also I'll admit to epic sadness when I heard the album version of "On Directing" and there was no Tegan. Nope nooo Tegan:( I just obsess over their awesome backing vocals and these live ones on this song from Tegan are just PERFECTION!

Janay

[wojo4hitz]

@Javacity well this way we have two versions. ;)

[Javacity]

@wojo4hitz only we really don't:(

[wojo4hitz]

@Javacity no we do, the live one and the recorded one! :P

[Javacity]

@wojo4hitz yeahhhhh ok

[wojo4hitz]

@Javacity :P if it's the best we get, it's the best we get.

[Javacity]

@wojo4hitz I know! i just REALLY REALLY want a recorded version like that OH WAIT technically I have it cause I have that spinner interface vinyl, wonder if some cool person found a way to rip a vinyl lol

[blazecypher]

love love love this song

[goinonaholigay]

Sara's guitar is pretty. :>

[4nniewaits]

i wonder how much sara likes having her bangs in her eyes at every show =]

[justintimberlake123]

Honestly without wojo4hitz I wouldn't have ever seen how amazing Tegan and Sara were live and never had been convinced so much to go to my first concert. I love their music so much now.Thanks so much! :3

[wojo4hitz]

@justintimberlake123 quite welcome.  :) thanks for the note!

[formyrecord]

I would be lying if I said I don't come close to tears every single damn time I listen to/watch this performance.

*sigh*

[anniewasbornfirst]

This was the first song I heard off Sainthood. I'm glad it was cause it's so amazing. Sara's stolen my heart yet, again.

[formyrecord]

Ok, let's all be entirely real right now, this is by far the best performance of On Directing. It was the first, and it is the best. It absolutely stole my heart when I first heard it, here, : ) — and listening to it again right now, I am seriously fighting back tears. It could just be because of the state of being I'm in right now, but really, my heart has been captured again. "I lose my grip, I lose my focus"

[wojo4hitz]

@formyrecord you're right... i think i'm going to add it to the "best performances" playlist, because i've always thought that...

[NmbSky]

Sara Sara Sara I Fucking Heart You

[January32nd]

Tegan and sara kick ass. they could be thieir own genre haha. check out my band channel and vids = ]

[cheekiekeen]

My favorite!

[watuknogud]

o mi gosh sara has the sexiest mouth ;)

[00SkandySky00]

@watuknogud sexiest mouth EVER.

[kemplerbrave]

This is a great song and the CD is great. I dig them so much. They know how to write great songs that fit them perfectly.

[zomgimadebread]

wow i love this song. so so so so so much.

[michellercl]

yeah, me too. Better than on the cd, better than on any other live show. This version is a killer ! =p

[WearingMeDown]

This is my favorite version of On Directing that I've heard so far esp Tegan's part.

[TheBarretGirl]

favorite song off the new album

[TheOriginalBoof]

90210!

[sweety7852000]

lol I went nuts when I found out they played this on 90210. I'm glad the show has good taste in music

[syfox133]

mmmm so good..

did tegan get another tattoo? and is sainthood the first album where sara has more songs?

[amritaSG]

they're soooo amazing live. i can't wait to see them in january :)

[hellothere425]

aww they are both wearing horizontal stripes

[heydylanj]

Fuck they are awesome live. So much emotion.

[monica1808]

my favorite song from sainthood:)

[altersahara]

ALL of sara's songs are AMAZING on this album! yay!

[eternalsunshine182]

SIMPLY AMAZING!!!!!! At some points of the song, like near the end, for example, I can't help but close my eyes and feel shivers run up and down my spine.

[xwp86]

Tegan's backing vocals are the absolute sex in this video! =] <3 this song!

[OldZLand]

When she starts doing the whole "Ho-o-o-old on to me" I get the chills. The kinda chills that you only get when Tegan Quin makes fucking sexy noises. And I'm actually a bigger Sara fan, so that's sayin' something.

[worldromance]

Gah I love this!! Tegan's vocals are incredible as well.....can't wait to see them live!!!!

[cinthiaBiznatch]

this song is really cool... I cant wait to buy the cd and listen to it in my car, extremely LOUD and sing to it over and over again. *=]

[281kcorD]

fucking incredible.

[senorapathy]

I like Tegan's vocals in this live version as opposed to the one on the record. But I like the fact that Sara enunciates on the record and I can make out "talking like a teen" so I don't sing "tuck in my teeth" like a total tard.

[CarneVP]

I agree. But I think it's pretty awesome as well that this happens a lot with Tegan & Sara songs. Their live versions are great. From Where does the good go, The Con to On Directing and Alligator. I like it. I like it a lot.

[SaraStorm1]

"Under Feet Like Ours" is on itunes! Holy, I'm so happy! Finally, I can listen to "Divided" forever now!

[Nitram250]

yeah its great.

[aStrix171]

i think I like the vocals better on this one then the album

Sara's voice is stronger and Tegan's backing vocals are amazing

[shokokat]

My T&S new favorite? might be!! SO good!

[IxLovexTeganAndSara]

what did TreeHuggingPenguin say?

i'll make sure he/she never says it again!

[ItsTeganandSara]

LOL.

they said the lyrics are stupid.

WHICH is not true.

I think the lyrics are so cute (:

they have a strong meaning too.

[CarneVP]

If that's the case then maybe that's proof that they aren't just crowd pleasers? But really, it's not offensive. I mean, they're what? 29 years old now? They're not teens anymore. Meh, I dunno. It's neither offensive or stupid imho.

[jootjadey]

ah! i love this so much! YUM

[billytfd]

i hella like these lyrics<3

[MrBombard0]

after all, what's a meta for?

[tkdgirl11]

LOVE TEGANS BACKUP VOCALS ♥♥♥

[mickey6688]

I hope this gets released as a single. Certainly deserves it.

[AirrickakaEric]

1 Thing:

*THERE FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

[CarneVP]

Oh, one more thing:

wojo4hitz for ruler of the world!

[MrBombard0]

Agreed!

[wojo4hitz]

hahahaha... *blush*

[CarneVP]

4 things:

1. I love all Sara songs so far.

2. Tegan's vocals in this song are perfection.

3. I'm going to see them in Stockholm. :D

4. Can't hardly wait.

[NotaGemini]

Spinner did a review of Sainthood and it quoted the lyrics as "Go steady with me, I know it turns you off when I get talking like a teen."

[shakemeshakeme]

it sounded to me like ''a tick in my teeth''

like that thing sara actually does when she's pissed haha

[likoasinturn]

sounds soo good. me likee!

[mickey6688]

Fuck, this song is awesome. I really love Sara's new songs, I can't wait for the album, can't wait for my signed Rorschach, can't wait for this song. I think I just soiled myself.

[mickey6688]

Can't stop listening and soiling!

[mzbundles21]

go steady with me,I know it ticks you off when I

I get talking like a teen,I get talking like a teen

go steady with me

I know it ticks you off when I

I get talking like a teen

I get talking like a teen

[JustxLAUGH491]

yepp. my favorite song as of right now. =)

so excited for the album!

[lovepeacenappiness23]

It is mine still...alligator is close

[aStrix171]

I hope Tegan sang backing vocals on the album version

the way their voices work together on this song is awesome

[lovepeacenappiness23]

Shit, this is a great song. That's saying alot when hearing it for the first time and live.

[eylikeeee]

yup it's definitely "go steady with me" and then "i know it turns you off when i, i get talking like teen"

[pikuL10x]

this song is so good. i really want to hear the album version.

[senorapathy]

Every time I listen to it I hear something different. That is the reason I posted my misheard lyrics; hoping that someone might be able to shed some light. And I think it is definitely "hold on to me"...good call guys.

[thisxyearsxfashion]

tegan is definitely saying "hold onto me"

sara is definitely saying "go steady with me"

[ramham24]

oh my!!!! this gives me chills alllll over. i love them so fucking much. i cannot wait till their album comes out! ahhhh!

[Tubehead89]

from these live versions alone, this looks to be one of my fave songs in the album

[denirocult]

totally agree

[enachick04]

tegan MUST be the background vocals for this song...she just is amazing with the ohhhhhhh ohhhh parts...tis lovely : )

[heartshavewings]

omggggg <3<3<3!!!!!!!

[danilenae]

Bass line reminds of old school Weezer. Nothin' wrong with that! :-) I hope Tegan's doing the background vocals on the album but I'm not going to hold my breath- I know Sara does most of her backgrounds on albums...

[smsmd11]

Love the song!!! I am probably totally wrong but I thought she was saying something like " Go steady with me, I know it turns you off when I, I had you talkin like a teen" Can't wait to get the real lyrics. Thanks Wojo!!

[senorapathy]

Youre directing me, Your eyes focused like a microscope, Because you need, Eyes focused like a microscope, Oh set me free

[senorapathy]

I know it turns you off when I, I cant tuck in my teeth, I cant tuck in my teeth, Youre directing me, You dress up , I lose my grip, my focus, Keep those eyes on me, I lose my grip, I lose my focus, Oh set me free, I know it turns you off when I, I cant tuck in my teeth, (Cant tuck in my teeth), I cant tuck in my teeth, Oh set my free, I know it turns you off when I, I cant tuck in my teeth, (Cant tuck in my teeth)

[CamilleRaye2]

I could very well be wrong, but to me it sounds like she's saying "go steady with me" instead of "oh set me free"

[smsmd11]

I agree, definitely is "go steady with me". Which is such a cute lyric!

[senorapathy]

I cant tuck in my teeth , (oh oh oh oh to me), Youre directing me, Eyes focused like a microscope, (Oh oh oh oh to me), Because you need, Eyes focused like a microscope, (Oh oh oh oh to me), Youre directing me

You dress up . I lose my grip, my focus, (Oh oh oh oh to me), You keep those eyes on me, I lose my grip, I lose my focus, Oh set me free, I know it turns you off when I, I cant tuck in teeth, (Cant tuck in my teeth), I cant tuck in my teeth

[ifightstars]

Thanks for posting these lyrics - I think they're pretty spot-on...but I think instead of "Oh set me free", it's "go steady with me" and that during Tegan's part she's singing "Hold on to me" instead of "Oh oh oh oh to me".

I couldn't figure out the rest tho - so, seriously, thanks lol

btw, wojo - your videos are amazing.

[senorapathy]

Oh set me free, I know it turns you off when I, I cant tuck in my teeth, (Cant tuck in my teeth), I cant tuck in my teeth, (Oh oh oh oh to me), Oh set me free, I know it turns you off when I, (Oh oh oh oh to me), I cant tuck in my teeth, I cant tuck in my teeth, (Oh oh oh oh to me), Oh set me free, I know it turns you off when I

(Oh oh oh oh to me), I cant tuck in my teeth, I cant tuck in my teeth

[senorapathy]

Alright, I will give trying to write the lyrics a shot. But feel free to modify them because I will undoubtedly have some (if not a lot) of it wrong.

[enachick04]

you did such a good job!! thank you!!! : )

[melodiesNdesires]

<3 tegan's vocals

[pshoom]

um...anyone know what the last part of the chorus where she repeats says? xD

[shotgunweddingxox]

After watching some of their new stuff on here, I know when I see them I'm gonna be fangirl crazy and like cry with joy or something! :D

[brokenfall21]

i wish i could understand what saras singing... ahh i want the lyrics!

[Zenxgirls]

Sara sounds absolutely fantastic.

i love it =] Sainthood sounds great so far.

[crazycrow76]

Any significance with the ring on Sara's finger?

[themaizeandblue]

totally didn't notice that

[calliega]

Yeah, i would like to know the same thing. But I think it's just like that. Cause otherwise she would wear it on the left hand.

[MyOwnPerspective]

I totally noticed that too crazycrow76! ahaha

[brightstarlit]

im not sure what i think about all the new songs, this one is cool though

[MyOwnPerspective]

The solo bass and vocals part was pretty bad ass!!! :D

[shotgunweddingxox]

It was magic! :D

[devilishflower]

i love this song!

[MyOwnPerspective]

Does anyone hear that 'Killers' like influence in Sara's vocals every once and a while?? Idk? Maybe i'm just crazy!

[arvvaz89]

they toured with the killers, so maybe it isn't that odd :D

[tonycorleon123]

Im getting to see them in montréal january 18 =] right in front of the stage, im totally shockeddd =D

[Dalmate16]

i love Tegan's backings on this!! freaking amazing!!

[tkwlazy]

[fuckyeaaah]

[Ghigau]

[samlovezya]

[SoApStArJoE1025]

[razorc11]

[kezma87]

this song is epic. tegans backing is awsome ^^

[anniewasbornfirst]

I CANNOT WAIT for Thainthood :]

[sonjunkie]

i feel bad for all the people that don't know about your channel, they can't listen to the new songs as if they're live!

[wojo4hitz]

*grins* thanks. ;)

[shakemeshakeme]

: /

[likoasinturn]

This sounds soooo good! Love it!

[themaizeandblue]

pleeeeease someone help with the lyrics

[coletot3235]

Does anyone else think Sara sounds like Emily Haines from Metric when she sings "directing"?

[formyrecord]

freaking eh, I want the lyrics so bad!!

[bajoink0]

i love tegans backing vocals in this

[formyrecord]

I cannot stop listening to this song!!

It's absolutely amazing.

[nathanclarke91]

I loved that show. It was absolutley amazing! - Aidan Knight was sooo sick too. I love Tegan and Sara's stage performance. Shaun Huberts is my teachers son, both, Shaun and Johnny go to my church.

[ItsTeganandSara]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Out of the songs they played for sainthood this is my favorite! Can not wait to hear the rest of the album and with the way it sounds so far im thinking its going 2 be pretty damn amazing!

So far i have to say there is something about Sara's songs I am really lovin them! Tegan too! but Sara is really blowin me away.

and wow @ tegans backings!

[TRQSKQTJA]

i can't wait for the lyrics to come out! i really want to see exactly what they are saying!! :):)

i also hope the new album is out by the time they come to Australia again (which it will be) coz i like knowing the songs when they preform!.:)

but it's so exciting hearing them play new stuff!! YAY!! :D:D:

[caramelita09]

this one is my favorite out of all they're new songs that they played at rifflandia. i absolutely loved it when i heard it. tegans backup vocals produce eargasms :D

i'm definitely seeing them again when they do their canadian tour and come to vancouver/victoria around december !

PS: sara was sooo adorable! and i got her guitar pick after the show ended !!

[formyrecord]

You got her guitar pick??!!

You LUCKY!

[caramelita09]

yeah i got her guitar pick! :D

my friend got tegans guitar pick.

she left it on her keyboard.

(tegan was chewing on it so it has her teeth marks on it... im so jealous. but im more of a sara fan anyway - andd thats kind of creepy hahah )

[Magicultimate]

And Teegz was sick lol

[caroline19v]

did you went on stage after the show to take the pick off the keyboard??

[katiemaecoleman]

I don't think it's creepy she'd probably do it to a eally hot chick to....well maybe I would...but I'd feel really bad for doing it. even though it's just a pick I'd probably feel bad....; you never kno in her mind she could have been like in her mind "okay wich one of those little fuckers took my pick"...haha your luckky

[themaizeandblue]

so fcking lucky

[katiemaecoleman]

By the way again you ARE SO SO SO SO SO SOOOO fucking lucky you have no idea...well maybe you do I've never even seen them live and there is a good chance I wont and someday they are going to stop touring like they do i bet....I swear if I ever go to a t&s concert I will be so jumpy and shouting out complements to tegan everytime the room gets quite and will probably fucking tear up when it's over...

[sammyreds11]

katiemaecoleman why will you never see them?

[katiemaecoleman]

I'm 14 I live in in springfield oregon and when the do do tours here they're in portland and I'd have to convince my parents to give me money to get tickets and then drive me there.... I don't know...I'm always freaked out that they are going to stop touring before I get the chance to see them...maybe I'm overreacting but I'm gonna keep it that way until I see them. :)

[calliega]

go to their official web page.

they have all touring dates there :)

[maclasch]

Could be they won't come to her town, like they'll probably never come to mine. Doesn't mean I wouldn't travel to see them though.

[justrespect360]

something tells me that i might like sara's songs a little better than tegan's on their new album...hmmm weird

[RisibleCRYS74L]

idk if anyone else noticed but sara is wearing a ring.......hmmmm
