Bonus points: Zea looks a bit like what would happen if Ellen Page and Tegan Quin had a baby. The second is by musician Emily Zea - it’s a slow-paced, lullaby version with acoustic strumming.
#TEGAN AND SARA NINETEEN LICENSE#
This version takes a little more creative license than most Nineteen covers it sounds a lot more jangle-pop-y and dreamy, mainly due to the great use of fingerpicking and rhythm guitar. The first cover is by the Montreal-based band Kimarine. As your tour guide into the very, very emotional world of “Nineteen,” I offer this selection of covers that I thought stood out and were repeat-worthy (and some that feature hot ladies, for your enjoyment). In tribute to this heart-rending song, lots of heart-rending covers have been made, often featuring copious amounts of vocal reverb (singing-in-a-cave echoes), twangy acoustic guitars (that are not always in tune), and hot androgynous ladies (I’ve often found that even the meh covers get good ratings because of hot ladies this usually means they are possessors of pixie cuts and lip rings). It’s a tram tour of Tegan’s romantic history, and the tram has rocket engines. And all of this in the first 24 seconds of the song. So what makes the song so great? It has a dangerous quad-fecta (like a trifecta but four) of frosty-heart-melting themes and make-a-jaded-woman-cry lines: the We Were Made For Each Other (“I felt you in my legs before I even met you”), the I Love You So Much (“When I laid beside you / For the first time I told you / I feel you In my heart”), the Oh My God We’re Breaking Up (“Now we’re saying bye / Bye / Bye”) and the Why Won’t She Return My Calls (“I was nineteen / Call me”).
