I don't wanna feel the need to hear your voice

Soooooo, we continue our little jaunt through Tegan and Sara's Heartthrob album. I hope you're either enjoying this or hating it so much that each time I pop up you cringe a little. But I'll settle for apathy if I must. If I must!

Today being Sunday, we're going to loop back and pick up two songs. One I already gushed about to begin with and the other is technically our song for the day. Whee!

Song o the day is Goodbye, Goodbye. It's an incredibly upbeat kiss-off that, again, sounds right at home at the roller rink. My god, man. Break out the side ponies, lace up your skates, and let's go.

Only, y'know, not. Because I'd be the first one down. :p

I'm a sucker for songs that sound one way but lyrically are completely different than you'd expect. I happen to think it sounds upbeat, but I suppose your mileage may vary. Since you get a lyric video, I'll only share a few bits for funsies, but remember: actual song is less "woes!"

Goodbye, Goodbye
You never really knew me
never ever
never ever saw me,
saw me like they did
You never really loved me
never really
Never really loved me like they did


You could of told me goodbye
You let me try knowing there was nothing could do to change you
You could of warned me
Knowing there was nothing I could to do change you

But who is they? A third party to this dance? Friends who get you? That's what the muse is for, guys.

How is 'you never really knew me' kind of not like an asshole thing to say?
This song is sort of a rom-com.
Goodbye, Goodbye a song for they.


And now we swing back to Closer, which is a good chunk of the reason behind me buying the album. That's right. One song and I'm done. In my defense... it's a really happy making little song. Seriously, this is not a band known for super happy and warm and fuzzy things and this? This is all of those things and more.

It's definitely a song for that giddy first rush when you're busy falling head over heels whether you wanted to or not, and all you want to do is be around that other person. ♥

The night sky is changing overhead...
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical.

Well, I thought you were being a bit polite and Canadian...

the universe is throwing a party and these are the invites

Oh, universe. What is going on with you? First you're all:


  And I was okay with this because Bomb Girls is a fabulous show and I may be in love with Betty, but I'm pretty sure that's the point of the show. (You mean it isn't? Lies!)

And then you spring that T&S thing on me for Easter and I'm sure the rest of the people around me wish I'd move on but we're not done yet. However, out of respect for people, we'll just assume that you've got the picture musically.

And then yesterday during my random Golden Girls episode before bed, it was Isn't It Romantic which is the one where one must explain to Blanche the difference between Lebanese and Lesbian. :P

Alrighty, universe. You like things themed, do you?

But before bed (after GG we read), we cracked open our book (me, myself, and a pile of cat fur) and behold: character everyone assumes is gay but turns out not to be.

Oh, Universe. You're so... theme-party.

There was no point to this other than sometimes you just keep tripping over the same themes no matter where you go. In return for reading this, I offer you more proof of the pure joy that is Betty:
