Tegan Rain Quin y Sara Keirsten Quin nacieron el 19 de septiembre de 1980 en Calgary, Alberta, Canadá. Desde muy temprana edad, las gemelas mostraron un interés ferviente por la música. Al crecer en una casa llena de discos y guitarras, no era raro verlas tocando o experimentando con melodías y letras desde que tenían ocho años.
Durante su adolescencia, Tegan y Sara comenzaron a escribir y grabar sus propias canciones. En 1998, con solo 18 años, ganaron una competencia de radio local cuyo premio era tiempo de estudio profesional para grabar un álbum. Este evento marcó el punto de partida de su carrera profesional y poco después, lanzaron su primer álbum "Under Feet Like Ours" de forma independiente en 1999.
En el año 2000, firmaron con el sello Vapor Records, fundado por Neil Young. Este acuerdo cimentó su camino a la fama. Su segundo álbum, "This Business of Art" (2000), fue bien recibido por la crítica y les permitió iniciar giras más extensas en Canadá y Estados Unidos, abriendo para bandas como Neil Young y The Pretenders.
Con el lanzamiento de "If It Was You" en 2002 y "So Jealous" en 2004, la dupla alcanzó una notoriedad aún mayor. "So Jealous" en particular hizo que captaran la atención del público internacional, gracias a canciones como "Walking with a Ghost", que fue versionada por la popular banda The White Stripes.
Oh my wrist's so weak but if I could lift your body
Out of a crash of the waves that have battled to me
Working too hard gets me acting like a ?
So before you tell me you're not worth the worry, hurry.
Hurry, hurry, hurry
I like to hurry when I'm on you
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Make me go without a word,
Gets so crazy when you shut up.
Wake up in a panic, room is dark, you know this body.
Could be this way with almost just anybody,
So pull me next to the window, pull me next to the light.
Hurry, hurry, hurry
I like to hurry when I'm on you
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.
Hurry, hurry
Are you undecided?
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.
Hurry, hurry
Are you undecided?
Hurry, hurry
I know my ego's weak so thought if I could lift your body,
And wake up out of air, the night's too short, you're on to me.
Why am I always acting timid and too careful?
Please, before I tell you I'm not worth the worry, hurry.
Hurry, hurry, hurry
I like to hurry when I'm on you
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Oh my wrist's are weak, I carry weight like a shadow.
So pull me next to the window, pull me next to the light.
Hurry, hurry, hurry
I like to hurry when I'm on you
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist
Hurry hurry
Are you undecided?
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist.
Hurry hurry
Are you undecided?
Hurry hurry hurry
Are you undecided?
Hurry hurry
Are you undecided?
hurry, hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist
Are you undecided?
Hurry hurry
Don't judge a book by the size of it's wrist
Are you undecided?
Hurry, hurry
Hurry, hurry, hurry.
