you covered knife going in by tegan and sara aaaaaages ago on youtube. and in the description, you said something along the lines of how you cried when you got what the song actually meant. i was always curious as to what you thought and how exactly it made you feel.

I think somebody asked me that in the comments of the video and I talked about it there. But basically, the way I understand it, it’s a song about realizing that your relationship has essentially ended and you need to let it go. Hearing Sara sing “Emy, should I stop?” in a live/acoustic version of KGI is utterly heartbreaking. It’s like she needed permission from her then-wife to give up on the relationship.
