Sometimes it’s admitting that you can’t stop yourself from fucking up what matters, that you feel your strongest.“And as my mom would say, it’s often when we’re fucking up what matters, that we’re learning the most about ourselves.”Tegan and Sara signed to Sire/Warner ahead of releasing their fifth record, 2007’s ‘The Con’.
