What a song! Brilliant powerful guitar technique with an amazing unique tempo and progression to start with coupled with a lyric with integrity. Not only does this take guts and belief but so much skill. This is rare.
Yes, I hear that Margaret Trudeau has written and spoken about having biploar disorder, but I'd say that there's also no doubt she was a young, vivacious women who was no doubt acting out against the strictures of her position. It was the wild '70s after all, and there was no shortage of recreational marijuana use.
"President's wife" I'd call poetic license. But yes, I'm sure KT Tunstall knows that Canada has a prime minister.
She says in the interview that it was the prime minister. I think that what the lyric suggests (as it says in the description bar and as Kt has said before) imagine if Michelle Obama (the U.s. president's wife) Left in similar fashion, I.e. ranaway with jay z or something.
Yes, Margaret Trudeau definitely did participate in some bizzare behaviour in the 1970s, but if you did a little research, it wasn't because she wanted to express her "female rebellion". She suffered, and continues to suffer, from bipolar disorder. The description of this song, along with the lyrics, connotate that she did this without regard to her husband, nor to her young children at the time. Bipolar disorder is a serious mental illness. *CONT*

I like this version much better than the one on the album, to be honest.

"Poetic license" it is and this is another great example of KT's amazing songwriting magic!

@SoundTracksQH Having heard her explain it at her concert at Cambridge Junction I'm pretty sure it's just a bit of poetic licence

I think in this song, Ms. Tunstall's belittling this fact, whether she's done it intentionally or not.
And P.S. - in the lyrics it says "while you were the President's wife".... in Canada, we have a Prime Minister, not a President.

@andie848484 in the united states it was originally considered "president"
during the democracy
but "prime minister" would be the term for communist
.......unless you canadians are communist O_O
