And it drove me wild

[impy]

Amazon promised me they'd let me listen to my Tegan and Sara album while it took its sweet time getting to me (it's bringing a book and a toy along with it) and oh. my. lord.


I love every damn song on this thing. Every. Single. Song! I can't shake the 80's pop-fizz feeling for a good chunk of the album and it's like the best gift ever. There are a billion things spinning through my head and I can't wait to make sense of them, so if you're in need of an 80's fueled muse, you could do a lot worse. ;)

(and if you wanted a behind the scenes of this song.)

you carried romance in the palm of your hand
you called the plays for us
you clung to self restraint,
you followed the plan
you put the brakes on this
and it drove me wild

Yes. Yes you are going to end up with a track by track posting each day for this, and yes. You are going to enjoy it. Unless you're already a Tegan and Sara fan and one of the ones not liking this go round in which case I am so sorry for you.

But I'm still doing it. :P

I love that this song is so happy, although one could take the lyrics in an entirely different way. If one so chose, that is. So it's either this poppy song about one person making sure the relationship doesn't burn out all too soon (as it might if the other person were left to call all the shots) or the happiest break-up ever as you look back on what you had and smile.

Or something else entirely. I feel the need to lace up some 80's skates and work this out. Except it always took me about an hour to warm up on skates and about five seconds to crash and twist my ankle again. So maybe I'll see if someone else is hit by a plot bunny on skates and stories shall appear as if by magic!
