“Feel It in My Bones,” Tiesto’s Kaleidoscope (2009)Įven though it’s not technically a Tegan and Sara song, I chose this because it was the first time Sara and I collaborated on a song that got released into the world. I have to kind of not look because it makes me very sensitive. It feels very emotional - lots of tears in the front row. Our musical director suggested doing it on piano, and it really transports me back to the first few times we played it live. It still feels the same performing it now, though obviously, we’ve updated it. When I say exactly how I feel, it really seems to connect. But that was the moment where I was like, no, no, this really is cathartic to sing this, to scream on stage every night, and watch everyone else scream along. Even when I wrote it, I remember calling Sara and her girlfriend in the middle of the night in Montreal and telling them to wake up and go listen, and I was like, “I think I wrote something really sad, accidentally.” It was very cathartic, which throughout the early part of our career, I had rejected that word - like when people would be like, “Do you find writing cathartic? It’s like reading out of our diary” - because I thought it was really sexist. It was sort of obvious right from the beginning that it was gonna be everybody’s sad, weepy breakup song. But this was probably the first song that I wrote that had a connection with the audience, which I hadn’t yet had a song accomplish. As an added bonus, they’ve shared some advice for songwriters.Īt that point, Sara had written “Walking With a Ghost,” and that had done really well for us. Oh yeah, did we mention that one run-in with some LEGO-ized statue named Oscar? Since the secret to their longevity can only be found in their discography, Vulture asked Tegan and Sara to pick the 10 best songs they’ve written. They’ve graduated from emo heartthrobs to queer influencers to pop songwriting elite without ever losing momentum.

This was a challenge as ‘Walking With A Ghost’ was a rock n roll track, but I flipped in a way so that Tegan & Sara fans and my fans alike could enjoy something brand new and fresh.” “I was put up to the task of remixing one of my favorite artists – Tegan & Sara. Here is what Manila Killa had to say about it: That is what remixes like this do to my feels.Ĭheck out this remix. Felt like I was walking with the ghost of my future self and past self together as one. Makes this remix that much more exciting, cause “Walking With A Ghost” is such a dope rock and roll song, but Chris’s flip just had my eyes in the back of my head. Girls and boys alike have been letting their feels out with T+S since way before electronic music was a blip on the radar of many. Not only one of MK’s favorites, but pretty much a favorite of any lover of music for the last 20 years or so. This release is a horse of a different color, a remix of Tegan and Sara.
