On Repeat . Hey, I'm Just Like You

Hey, I'm Just Like You by Tegan and Sara

Been playing it on speakers for the past week that I don't fully appreciate it until I listened using an earphone and that changes everything. 

I like this album by Tegan and Sara might put it on repeat for weeks. 

On Repeat . The Con X: Covers

Tegan and Sara Presents The Con X: Covers

I was looking forward to this when it was first announced since The Con is my favorite album of Tegan and Sara then the artist who will be doing covers are announced too and it was perfect since some of my favorites are covering songs. I do listen to PVRIS, CHVRCHES and of course, Paramore so pretty much I love this already even it wasn't released yet but I was looking forward on how they will put their style on a Tegan and Sara songs.

Upon listening to the album, the whole thing isn't that bad. I sometimes prefer a cover over an original song but this is a balance of all sorts, I like the original and same with the covers. 

This album is refreshing too. 

On Repeat . Nineteen

Nineteen by Tegan and Sara (Hayley Williams of Paramore cover)

I felt you in my legs
Before I even met you
And when I laid beside you
For the first time
I told you
I feel you in my heart,
And I don't even know you
Now we're saying
Bye, bye, bye
Now we're saying
Bye, bye, bye
I was nineteen
(Call me)
I felt you in my life
Before I ever thought to
Feel the need to lay down
Beside you
And tell you
I feel you in my heart,
And I don't even know you
And now we're saying
Bye, bye, bye
Now we're saying
Bye, bye, bye
I was nineteen
(call me)
I was nineteen
(call me)
Flew home,
Back to where we met
Stayed inside
I was so upset
Cooked up a plan,
So good except
I was all alone
You were all I had
Love you
You were all mine
Love me
I was yours right
I was yours right
I was nineteen
(call me)
I was nineteen
(call me)

On Repeat . Divided

Divided by Tegan and Sara

Go downtown to catch the early movie 
The shows are cheaper 
They don't mind if you put your feet up 
She's out on the highway
She's got a homemade sign it says 

Go ahead try to figure out 
What my future looks like
I don't want to live my life like a story 
Always thinkin' I could've been something 
Don't run along side and control me 
Just film away and let me be 

At ease I, I feel fine 
I'll move on, I'll go on 

There's something so divided 
Don't worry about me I'll be fine 
Don't live your life for me or for anyone 
Live your life as if you're one 
Live your life as if you're one 

And find quiet, it's awful quiet 

How can you be mad we just got started? 
I want to shave my head 
Lie in bed all day long 
How can you be mad we just got started?
Live your life as if you're one 
Live your life as if you're one

At ease I, I feel fine 
I'll go on, I'll move on 

Don't live your life like a movie 
Always thinkin' you could've been something
Don't live your life for me or for anyone
You live your life as if you're one 
You live your life as if you're one 
Find quiet it's awful quiet 
Find quiet

On Repeat . Call It Off

Call It Off by Tegan and Sara

As usual, we are on our way to the mall, my earphones are on when this song played and I just put it on repeat.

I love the intro, how slow it is and the meaning.

I search on the magical world of the interwebz on what's the real meaning of this and I found out that it was about the Myspace-stalking of Tegan. When you know the meaning the song itself changes your perspective about it.

I can relate to the stalking (but now on facebook) part and I still do it once in a while oh and that's what I feel when I'm browsing my newsfeed and that's why I'm not usually on facebook.

Maybe I like it because it fit on my relationship with my (ex)best friend oh wait it fits on all of my ex-friends. Its not that I'm still not over it but just like a song, you will never care if it was released in the 80's, 90's or whenever but as long as you experienced something like it you just want to listen and remember but definitely not bury yourself in the same situation that you've been thousand of days ago. Sometimes its more on over looking the past, how messed up you are after a heartbreak, a friendship that you once thought will last forever. Remembering will not hurt, sometimes, it will make you smile because you'll realize after those fucked up days you're still standing tall, smiling.  

And I don't know how many times I'll say I love this song so instead of putting I-love-this-song-comment just listen to it. Tell me if you like it or not it. 

"Call It Off"

I won't regret saying this
This thing
That I'm saying
Is it better than
Keeping my mouth shut
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 better if
You take your time
Coming over here
I think that's for the best
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'll start to wonder
If this was the thing to do

ps. I can't stop listening to Tegan and Sara since I saw them live last November 25, 2013! Can't wait to see them again soon. :)

Tegan and Sara Live in Manila

So the doors will open by 1900 and its 1845. There's already a line outside NBC Tent and I don't want to line up. I'm sitting here at BonChon eating this Mango Cream Crepe.

When I'm on my way, I watch their performance on SXSW last March and by the last song, we are already entering The Fort.

~Waiting game~

Sitting in front of me are 2 girls eating dinner and I knew that they will heading there too and after they order they had to do this selfie with their tickets and probably uploaded it already on their social networking accounts.

Shoot a girl just entered and her tattoo are amazing! She have this japanese stuff from behind the ear downwards probably its up to her shoulder.

I love The Fort and the vibe here is different. Would you believe that I walk from NBC Tent to the my favorite Nike outlet then back after I went down of the car. Yeah I know I'm weird. Hahaha but I'm willing to do cardio in here everyday (sad part? I'm a little far from here). Its always nice to have a breather once in a while and the Tegan and Sara concert will just be the biggest breather of today. So good to start this week with the twins. I'm so stoked!!! :D

I'll probably go to NBC Tent after eating this crepe. Will finish this post when I got home. :)

After leaving BonChon, it was almost pass 1900 and daaaaang doors are still close! I thought they will open it up by 1900 ... Well, I still lined up and at the end I thought I was in a wrong line but apparently the reason why I lined up in a wrong line was I will see Carina!!! Haha. *Fan girl moment* and that line wasn't wrong at all.

It was almost 8pm when they opened up the doors. It was pretty cool that the venue is not so big and even your in the silver section, its still pretty cool because you can still see them clearly. Well even if you just stand in the entrance you can still see them. And I saw my friend Pia!!!! I texted her earlier but she didn't reply to me so I thought she will let this pass but I saw her! It was nice to see her. Really! Such a nice person. :)

To be honest, I'm not familiar with all of the title of their songs but if I listen to it I somehow know the chorus or whatever stanza it is. I really enjoyed watching Tegan and Sara live despite of the others who just video almost the whole show (I don't know how they enjoyed that and why spend too much when all you will do was video 'almost' the whole show. I can't see the point). No tall guys but a little bit of taller girls and some annoying bouncer who are standing in the middle without thinking that we can't see because of him.  

My heart is so happy right now that I can't explain the feeling.

Such a good start for this week full of stuff to do and some exciting things.

I will probably play a bunch of their songs the next daysssss. PCD at its finest.

I saw them live first at SXSW last March via live stream when I was waiting for the set of Paramore. It was Twenty One Pilots then Tegan and Sara and the last was Paramore (I'm not familiar who was the band before Twenty One Pilots).

My TX5 is dying, 15 days ago I was in my grandma's surprise birthday party and I let that camera to my cousin and the party isn't even starting when she told me that my camera is vibrating... I removed the battery and keep it in my drawer for dayss and lately I check it out and It wasn't vibrating anymore so I know that I can bring that to the concert. Until the last part of the setlist last night, it started to vibrate again.... I was thinking of some solutions without having a digital camera everyday. Good thing I was able to video some early song before it ran out of battery too.

Here are some photos that I took. I somehow hate the red light because it makes a huge different but it was amazing.

not bad right? :)

Up Dharma Down was the front act and it was my first time to see them live (I think and I haven't seen local bands live for so long now) just WOW.

Kudos to the guy who is in-charge of the lights!  

It was an amazing show Tegan and Sara! See you again soon!

Thank you for making my heart happy. 

My Concert Life

I was 100% sure to watchTegan and Sara's Manila concert when it was announced and since its just less than a week before the 25th and I still don't have a ticket, I realized that I really need to watch it.

Despite of having some family time for the past week, escaping for the few hours from some person that I would be happy if they will not contact or will not cross path for the whole day. I came to a realization that those wasn't enough. I somehow need to be lost inside a room full of people with positive thoughts and vibes for at least 1-2 hours. With 1-2 hours, my life will be saved once again by music. I may or may not see familiar faces but I know I need this for my self, for my inner persona and I badly need a concert therapy.

The last concert that I've been to was the Paramore show last February and I miss the feeling of being careless for 2 hours or less and just listen to live music.

And with all the retail therapy that I'm doing for the half of 2013 I've also decided that I will not watch The Maine on January (its early to say but I have also some responsibilities that I need to fulfill). Its sad but yeahh welcome to reality.

But I will not miss Avril by February and letting go The Maine show, I think its time for some Patron section for Avril (yeahh. Its time to see her closer than lower box or upper a or than a silver section)

If I really want to be lost for 2 hours, I'll probably go to Zedd's concert here on December though I just want to hear Clarity, Stay the Night and Alive. Haha! But Hayley wouldn't be there (?) .... And it was just time that Stay the Night played on the radio  

~

And Tegan and Sara will be donating to the typhoon victims from the tickets sale so I think its a 2-way thing that I got to enjoy the show and help my fellow country men.       

and I just bought my ticket for Monday two hours ago !!!! :D 

Anyway, see you around.

Aivrin | xoxo

Stay, you'll leave me in the morning anyway | Now I'm All Messed Up [Tegan and Sara]
