5/10 Tegan & Sara - Sara's Children Song About Divorce @ Metropolitan Uni, Leeds, England

Sara (singing a "children's song"): "It wasn't like we were drunk when we made you, so don't worry about that..."
HILARIOUS... Sara says that a few years ago when she wasn't sure if they'd be successful as a band, she was thinking she might have to look for a new career, and she was thinking of writing children's songs ("since kids like me... not in a weird way, but like we like deer or antelope... like i'm gentle and they could ride me if they had a saddle..." (realizes she just said something she shouldn't have)). Says she'd like to sing about hard things, but in a fun way: "Your mommy and your daddy, or your other daddy, are gonna get a di-vooorce... But it wasn't like we were drunk when we made you, so don't worry about that..."

god i love that introduction to walking with a ghost coz the song she was joking with was like so silly and bad and then when she says i wrote this instead she plays a fantastic song! :):) ahah i love them both!

[wojo4hitz]

silly and bad, but probably uncomfortably relevant...

[marchingstars]

I had TOTALLY forgotten about this! Hilarious. I always love it when they make up weird little songs on the spot! (Am I right in thinking it's normally Sara though??)

[wojo4hitz]

hahaha... you're totally right. sara's "thanksgiving" song in philly (or d.c.?) last november comes to mind...

[barbiedumped2ken]

Sara's conversation just keeps going downhill..."They could ride me if they had a saddle...." "I thought I could maybe write kids' songs...Sometimes kids like to know about things that are scary, but in a fun way!" Oh, Sara...

[gliteranddisaster]
