The most extraordinary thing is when I can relate to a song 100%.Especially one that I picked ages ago that became so prophetic.
A few months ago I was really attached to the song Call It Off by Tegan & Sara,although mainly Tegan,and played it repeatedly.On the album,The Con,the other tracks I felt close to were also Soil,Soil and Hop A Plane.
Due to recent changes I started listening to Call It Off again and the words sounded a lot more real and I went to www.songmeanings.net to see what other people felt about the song,freakishly enough someone mentioned how Hop A Plane, Soil,Soil and Call It Off are all linked.So I took Call It Off off repeat and listened to the other two tracks and then everything just came together.
Those three songs are exactly where I was and where I am.Both figuritively and literally speaking.I'd love to quote individual lyrics to show how they relate but then I realise how the whole songs relate.The themes of long distance relationships and uncertainty and second-guessing..are just..very much my life right now.
If anything I'm really loving my Macbeth Tegan Quin shoes right now seeing as they have THE quote of this time written underneath the sole: "Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at."
Im going to buy a discman so I can listen to The Con because its post-updating-my-ipod era.Or maybe I'll just lose my mind and write Call It Off all over my body with a biro,haha.Kidding.
...But yes Call It Off..is EXACTLY EXACTLY EXACTLY what I'm going through right now.And just because T&S make me all gushy I'll post the lyrics:
I won't regret saying this,this thing that I'm saying
Is it better then keeping my mouth shout,that goes without saying
Call,break it off
Call,break my own heart
Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at
Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at
But now we'll never know
I won't be sad but in case I'll go there everyday to make myself feel bad
There's a chance I'll start to wonder if this was the thing to do
I won't be out long but I still think it's better if you take your time coming over here
I think that's for the best
