Tegan And Sara’s HIJLY tour summary:

This tour is going to be like nothing we have ever done. We’ll be solo (can we still call it “solo” if there are two of us?). We’ll be playing acoustic (mostly). We’ll be reading from our memoir High School, and performing songs from the new album Hey, I’m Just Like You. And we’ll be playing a collection of songs from our older records (don’t worry!). We’ve pulled our favorite moments from all the old video footage from our teenage years we discovered last year, and we will be screening clips throughout the evening. We have so much in store for you. It’s going to be a super special evening that you don’t want to miss. We’ve been away from you all for nearly two years and can’t wait to see you.

You Go Away And I Don’t Mind lyrics

I’m complicated, I was raised by icons
Touched by saints, still powerless
Scared and lost, cursed like novelty
Crushed and cracked, I’m powerless

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Oh yeah, you go away, go away
And I don’t mind
Yeah, you go away, go away
Well, I’ll be fine
Bye, bye, bye, I still want you
Bye, bye, bye, I still need you

Instamatic, embraced by millions
A slow reaction hits my blood
If I get famous, inflamed by gravity
Pretend to notice, kiss my spills

Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah, hey yeah yeah

Oh yeah, you go away, go away
And I don’t mind (And I don’t mind)
Yeah, you go away, go away
Well, I’ll be fine (Well, I’ll be fine)
Oh yeah, you go away, go away
And I don’t mind (And I don’t mind)
Yeah, you go away, go away
Well, I’ll be fine (Well, I’ll be fine)
Bye, bye, bye, I still want you

It’s your mind that matters most
It’s your mind that makes you mine

Go away, go away, I don’t mind
Go away, go away, I’ll be fine
Bye, bye, bye, I know I’ll miss you

Tegan & Sara official bio:

While writing High School, Tegan and Sara discovered two cassette tapes with dozens of the first songs they ever wrote between the ages of 15 and 17 – tapes that had been unheard for twenty years. Defiant and melodramatic, the melodies and lyrics on these rough tapes captured the exultation and grief of first loves, first losses, ecstatic kiss-offs, and psychedelic tributes to friendship. Hey, I’m Just Like You is made up entirely of new studio recordings of those early songs, recasting Tegan and Sara’s remarkable innate songwriting talents as teenagers, and allowing these previously unreleased songs to benefit from the studio expertise they have gained in the past two decades as professional musicians.

“This is a record we never could have made as teenagers, full of songs we never could have written as adults,” says Tegan. Adds Sara, “With only minor tweaks to lyrics and structure, we tried to remain true to the original essence of each song.”

Tegan And Sara have have received three Juno Awards, a Grammy nomination, and a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award (Canada’s highest national honor in the arts). In 2016 they created the Tegan and Sara Foundation, which fights for health, economic justice, and representation for LGBTQ+ girls and women.
