airships and waves

Open your chest and take the heart from it.

When you talk, can I tape you?

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Juno Awards (Canada’s Grammy Awards), each decade in Canadian music history has been thrown a concert in its honour at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern on Queen Street. During these intimate concerts, Canadian musicians covered songs that defined the Canadian music scene of that era.

Here is my favourite musician Sarah Slean covering Metric’s 2004 song “Combat Baby”. Quite a departure from her usual style, and a lot of fun to watch - it’s a blending of my early teens and now.

Wishing you could keep me closer, I’m a lazy dancer - when you move I move with you.

I remember when we were gambling to win. Everybody else said, “Better luck next time.” I don’t wanna bend, let the bad girls bend. I just wanna be a friend. Is it ever gonna be enough?

Counting to the last breath we take. What we made doesn’t make sense. What’s a wolf without a pack? Open your chest and take the heart from it. When you talk, can I tape you? How’d you get what we don’t know? We don’t know how to help… we only know how to hound. Nose to the grindstone. Grindstone to the ground.

No matter how many times I watch this, it never ceases to give me shivers. Emily Haines is brilliant.
