All You Got

As if it is any surprise really, but i am having a tegan and sara phase for about the 5 time this year...everything about the twin sister duo pulls me to them. the lyrics to their songs, their voices, end product of the songs, and really just them as people. i remember the first time i ever saw anything about them, it was on some old canadian kids show, probably ya to the max or something like. after that i always remember them, they were so different from other musicians during that time, they had short spikey hair (i think one was bleach blonde maybe both), they both had their lips pierced, and they were carrying around acoustic guitars. from that moment on i loved them and even though i didnt buy their album for years to come i always remembered who they were and wanted to know them.

the next time i was exposed to them when their song Dont Confess played on an episode of One Tree Hill...that is where the obsession started. i went out and got If It Was You..then cam So Jealous...i was addicted to those for a good while, usually having one or the other in my car or my cd player...I knew all the lyrics, i could hum any song, i was learning as much about them as i could, and i longed to see them in concert...that was a while ago and my life has changed alot since then, but still the one thing in my life that is still there are those two sisters...

I am 20 yrs old now, i have seen them live in concert, i have every album they have done (even the rarities) and their lyrics are sometimes what really gets me through the day...its not a lie either, i can wake up in the worst mood possible throw on the con and i will belt my heart out and with it goes my problems...i have realized now that perhaps wat i feel in love with so many years ago (the feeling i got watching that crazy little 5 min special) was something that i have just learned to accept. i have found a part of myself in them, and they give so much of themselves in their music, if i could ever thank them for all i have been able to receive as a result of who they are and all that they stand for i dont think i could find the right words. when people complain about them or have a problem with them as much as i try not to care, i do because they have been there for me and i in a way feel obligated to be there for them as well even if they dont no it....Isnt it odd that we can be influenced by something or someone and never be able to tell them just how much they mean to us...?
