"Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at. Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at." Lyrics so good they explain what I'm thinking better than I can.
I remember seeing this for the first time when I was 14. At that point, I'd only ever been exposed to my mom's (very limited) musical taste. By the end, I was literally stunned. I remember just staring at the computer screen, feelings hurt by how much I had been missing. It was so simple, but I'd never seen anything quite like it. This was the first album I ever bought, in secret, from a bin at the mall.
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
99% of you probably won't even read this.. But I just turned 18 and I am trying my best to become a horse. On the 29th of December I am traveling to the wide open fields of Nevada to hopefully learn from the best horses. Being a horse means a lot to me. I've just started my training. I have just nailed my horseshoes to my feet (really hurts) and shaved my hair into a horse mane. It would mean the world to me if you supported me and helped me complete my ambition.
The reason I am a Tegan fan is because her songs connect with me more(this one is my favorite), and she is quieter which makes her more mysterious. but they are both so cute.
The "genre" is SO TIRED ! 'Unplug the sisters and do us all a favor ,that music's lost it's taste to try another flavor " (paraphrase) Yeah, "maybe I'd have been something you were good at " is profound but that's all there is.I agree w/Bobbits World who cares who your sleeping with ? BFD,MUSIC used to be about MUSIC not One's Militant Lesbianism or whatever..Bikini Kill was doing that 20 yrs ago,then it was revolutionary...NOW ? Just SEXPLOITATION and Da Grlllllls are "playin ya" !
@JazzyD599 but not a shame in how people who seem like they have a holier then thou attitude..and say they'll burn for, not true..just wiped out if they don't except being fixed..Spiritually an mentally..and that's something GOD WILL HANDLE..NO SOME JUDGMENTAL MAN..i do dig their music though
Believe it or not I have 2ce..One said a man can scratch the ichT a woman just can't ..She said why wear a strap on? that tells me I need a man to get it on..Now she dances with both..The other just wanted something different..I LAUGH WHEN SHE SAID THAT..THEN SHE LOOK AT ME..
@StreakWaya I know, but...music, movies, tv shows that are "mainstream" are so bland because our tastes are so segmented. Is 2 and a half men the best comedy on tv? Not even close. Give me Louis CK's show any day. Was transformers 3 the best movie this year? Not even close. Is nickelback the best band out there? Well ok bad example (KIDDING!!). I know, it sucks, but at least people with taste get subjected to talents such as this, while in years past we might have.
@girfulness WELL REALLY i DON'T CARE I WAS JUST TALKING STUFF.. BUT FROM A SCRIPTURAL VIEW..IT'S UN GODLY BUT THAT'S BETWEEN THEM AND GOD..I JUST LIKE STARTING STUFF WHEN I'M FEELING GIGGLY..EVERYONE STAY UP..
Dear People, I'm not going to talk about boys. Or girls. Or Justin Bieber. Not even Black Ops. And heart breaks. You know what I'm going to talk about? Turtles. Because everyone loves turtles. Especially when they're awkward.
0:46 kills me I wish I could be born again and start life all over again and I'd practice music 100,000 hours to become a master of melodies!!! like Mozart good
@someguy131415 ok lets look on your profile...favourites....aqua, barbie girl....girfriend, avril lavigne cover....yeah I think it's fair to say your musical opinion is not valid in any way. :)
@ericknight7 You can like both NoFX and Tegan and Sara. I know I do. Open yourself up to new music. Sure, it's different than NoFX, but it's still good. :)
I want Sara's shoes so BAD, and i think it is really annoying that everytime i look at these comments i always find one discriminating them cuz they are lesbians. JESUS GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@MEHCOOKEH 1. because they happen to be both gay 2. tegan is singing, sara is walking around; tegan has a piercing under her bottom lip. and yeah they have different tattoos on their arms :P
Go you! Don't let other people's narrowminded-ness keep you from enjoying good music. If we didn't do things because we were afraid it would seem "gay" then we would never enjoy things like cupcakes, rainbows and awesome lady music.
@salukidc Sorry, I don’t know who was doing the interview I was talking about exactly, it was an old interview, I watched it about two years ago, so I don’t know, I feel useless…lol. But they get asked a lot of those type of questions like in the Tegan and Sara Uncut interview, they guy is being a dick in it. UM and in the An Horse interview, Sara mentions the incest thing makes her uncomfortable. They mention the whole incest thing and how it upsets them in various interviews.
@aggiefitz no... their music is refreshing, and I literally don't know anyone who listens to indie. This song is great. Do you not hear the lyrics? Have you not seen the video? It's ambiguous, and I love that about them. I love that about all their videos. It actually took me a while to finally get into them, but I'm having the best time just listening. They are such wonderful people that I just can't get enough. Them being gay is just bonus points for them. I'm happy they fee that free.
@skaaateer What makes it so horrible to be gay? Honestly I think it's rediculous for people to think that who you fall in love with affects who you are as a person or your acceptance into Heaven. I am deeply Christian and I can tell you one thing, God does NOT hate gays. If He did don't you think something would have happened to us by now? I have had nothing but a wonderful life, girlfriends and all, and other than homophobia of ignorant people, I know that God doesn't hate or dislike gays.
@StreakWaya first off. this video has 3 million views on another channel. Secondly, please don't bash on other genres of music just because your choice of music is not as popular. Third, Tegan and Sara have a song with Tiesto, a stupid club song that I blast on my radio.
@Louisiannnahelloo Probably because of the proximity of their relationship and the fact that being "gay" isn't exactly the most open or easily lived lifestyle. Would I bet they had sex? No. Would I say they have experimented with the idea that they are identical twins in mind? I'd say pretty likely. It's an odd world we live in and what our hormones due to us can get even weirder.
@StainedGlassJewel Definitely Tegan singing; she has a slightly deeper tone. Sara has more range and is amazing at back up vocals on this song. But both are equally talented, of course! =]
Everyone is all crazy about Tegan. Here i am going crazy over Sara. =.= Isn't there anyone else out there who loves Sara just as much as i do? Not that i don't like Tegan obviously.
Loosing my only healthy relationship because he's much younger and said he needs to be able to take care or himself. I might have lost myself a but there. Thank you for helping me find the piece I lost. I've loved you since before I could dress myself and still love you now
@mrgrsmitty Their hair is gorgeous. And even if you don't think so, they still won't care. They do what they do because they want to. They did the haircuts because they wanted to. You can't change that. Plus, do you know of anyone else who could rock it like they did? Thanks for that comment. We really needed it.
@JazzyD599 That's the key statement that you made..and I'll quote with out any hostility weather you agree or not I still flow like the breeze nice and easy.".in their lives and change preference later In some cases"..People prefer yes their are people who prefer to do things against nature and those who will try to make their own point why though their going against nature our bodies show that male and female harmonize with each other not against.
Wow... This song is beautiful, and all of you are too busy fighting about sexuality to really enjoy it.. who cares? What people do in their personal lives is not your concern, regardless of your opinion. This song is stunning. Enjoy it :)
sorry, for um putting a comment on a video that has nothing to with there sexuality. it just popped into my head.:Li didnt want to put a comment about there sexuality on there music vid, and i promised myself i wouldnt, and i just did :cDAMN.
@JazzyD599 re post what ever it was that i misspelled and I'll correct it..even I can screw up something simple but if that's the worst of me that you can find..then cheers.
I wonder if anyone else is listening in 2024, god i only found this song last year, what a waste... amazing.
also found this song last year, it comforted my heart a bit. i'm so thankful for these girls
I’ve been listening to this song for years. I LOVE it.
I'm listening they're from calgz. You know who else is cool linz ell
That song is so amazing, how they meet time to time with certain words and notes at the same time. Absolutely amazing! :)
I'd love to do an electric punk rock version of this song. It just has such a beautiful melody.
Who else find it adorable how Tegan sings by opening one side of her mouth more than the other
I like how the drummer has two tracks on this, one of him setting up/ taking down kit and one of him jamming :)
still lovin them but i still cant tell which 1 is tegan.this song is most definitly goin on my ipod
These two look so nice in this video. I love them and their music!!!!!!!
I love this song, I just keep listening to it over and over. lol
I learned about this band from NOFX. Cool song. I would call them an Ani Difranco for a new generation.
They look nice.
Sara
@MrAlmondsss yes
@hollywoodpixie01 nop actually my best friends are gay im not homophobic, i love gay people and i love the way they are. im not gay im straight
@DakotaMillsap funny you say that, cause I want two.. :)
This constitutes music???
@lyndsayoxenberg haha i know, it was funny tho right?
This song brings back so much memories for me. I'm so glad I rediscovered it.
L. N. same
Over a decade and this is my favorite song ever written. It’s so simple, yet nothing has ever moved me more 💜
@@dave9640 What 😊😊
Same, teagan and sara forever ❤
I forgot how dang great “The Con” was. This is a rlly underrated song tho for sure
I totally get it
It’s utterly timeless
"Maybe I would have been something you'd be good at. Maybe you would have been something I'd be good at."
Lyrics so good they explain what I'm thinking better than I can.
Tegan's mouth!
Still can't believe this song only has a little over a million views after 6 years
Because they uploaded it to their actual youtube channel and all of the views are there
hidden gem
@@jase276 fuckin tell em,baby
now 12 yrs
Still can't believe coming back after all those years...men😶☺️
Now knowing the meaning of Tegan&Sara🥲
I remember seeing this for the first time when I was 14. At that point, I'd only ever been exposed to my mom's (very limited) musical taste. By the end, I was literally stunned. I remember just staring at the computer screen, feelings hurt by how much I had been missing. It was so simple, but I'd never seen anything quite like it. This was the first album I ever bought, in secret, from a bin at the mall.
1:40 JUST FUCKING THROW ME OFF A CLIFF JFC
Jenny L LITERALLY THOUGH
Not gonna lie,....so in love with Tegan....if i saw her in real life, I might just stutter and blush to death....lol >.
I did see Tegan and Sara once in real life. I nearly passed out from excitement! xD
MeganHLTX So did I, I went crazy. Jumping up and down and making heart shapes with my hands.haha
blush to death that's a good one hahahaha
Ryoko I would to if I liked girl or was a boy
Hhh same
Pretty sure I've viewed/listened this over 500 times. I love this song.
Me too
I'm making this comment to agree and bring you back to this song
same
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
How did you do that? I wish I could
DAMN SARA BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THE WHITE VANS! STUSSY MAN DAMN SARA!
Looks like a Progressive Insurance commercial.
Breanna B it's "too" not "to".
Underrated Critic
LMAO!!
@Kitty Jeler Tegan's hair is waaaay better than Flo's, though
now that’s all imma think about when i see this 😂
You mean progressive insurance commercials look like this
I remember years ago, this was the first tegan and sara video I saw. It was on MTV, and I've been in love ever since!
I love this song so much! Met them both last year I can die happy now!
Their so tiny and super cute tho!
I got so excited just now bc this song was in greys anatomy
SAME THATS WHY I AM HERE😂💕
Damn Tegan and Sara back at it again with the white vans XD
2022 and I just remembered how much I loved this song💕
almost 11 years since the song came out 😓🥺
Girl: omg I love Tegan and sara!
Me: *cuts my fingernails*
I really loved you, Bean. Take care.
who is bean ? :(
@@moodyspoint7377 You don't know Bean?
It’s been a while since this came out, but I just wanna say I’m grateful this song exists and helps me word my own feelings
I wonder if Sara pushed Tegan after this video was filmed when she was tied up?..
That muted guitar background sounds like someone scratching their head while thinking.
Las amo :3 Son las mejores,Tengo 12 años,y para mi ustedes son las mejores LAS A-M-O-
How tf I didn't realize I was gay. I was obsessed over them at 13 years old.
*Phone rings*
Sara: Hello??
Caller: Heyyy is Tegan there?
Sara: Umm... she's a little tied up at the moment... >.>
Which one's which?
Are they girlfriends, friends, or twins?
Are they non-conformists, punk rock girls, just into that hair style, or all of these?
tegan is in the middle, sara is wrapping tegan with the cord. they are twins, they don’t really have a genre, but if they did it would be indie.
I have looked for this song for 4 years im soo happy i found it
Me too
Glad you two found it

A transformer? 😂
They should cover Melanie's "Brand New Key"
Oh, come on, why not?
no but like, Tegan's voice from :34-:37 is so cute and perfect. and just makes me fall in love with her every time.
fool, they never could have predicted the impact of the song
this is my childhood
same
Yep to get Zeus and Hera to believe I'm the adopted sun Felix
Max Caster of the Acclaimed reminded me of this song. #AEW
this takes me back to middle school. in 2012... dayyuuummm they're still hella cute.
Holy shit. I’m old. Takes me back to high school in 2008
someone please explain why this song hits so hard
Somebody loop this for 10 hours then @ me please. Gracias.
Allan Evans same
Ditto. I used to lay in my hallway for hours with this song on repeat
This is my favorite song by them...Just amazing writing and singing.
Jkkk÷×× p
damn tegan, back at it again with the white vans
No just no
+Aidan Beydler shhhhhh
Those shoes aren't vans, those are Macbeth shoes.
+Eiwar II thx for brand name
salamander 2007 you're welcome
My heart still breaks the same
No it was NOT the thing to do.
Slynn42 I hate you
I'm back again my old friends..
The reason I am a Tegan fan is because her songs connect with me more(this one is my favorite), and she is quieter which makes her more mysterious. but they are both so cute.
Wow, I just realized I haven't seen coil phone line in years...
Tegans face remindes me of Joan Jett (:

What shoes is she wearing at 1:12 ??
its sad to see people thinking that its alright to be homosexual. America has definitely lost its Christian roots. Love the person hate the sin.
Believe it or not I have 2ce..One said a man can scratch the ichT a woman just can't ..She said why wear a strap on? that tells me I need a man to get it on..Now she dances with both..The other just wanted something different..I LAUGH WHEN SHE SAID THAT..THEN SHE LOOK AT ME..
2023, this is still my favourite song.
@StreakWaya I know, but...music, movies, tv shows that are "mainstream" are so bland because our tastes are so segmented. Is 2 and a half men the best comedy on tv? Not even close. Give me Louis CK's show any day. Was transformers 3 the best movie this year? Not even close. Is nickelback the best band out there? Well ok bad example (KIDDING!!). I know, it sucks, but at least people with taste get subjected to talents such as this, while in years past we might have.

Open yourself up to new music. Sure, it's different than NoFX, but it's still good. :)
