If It Was You is a Tegan and Sara album, released August 20, 2002. Officially, it is their second release through Vapor Records, though they independently released Under Feet Like Ours in 1999 (currently out of print).

If It Was You was recorded on Galiano Island and the Factory Studio, with the exception of Track 10, "And Darling (This Thing That Breaks My Heart)", which was recorded at Tegan's house.

An enhanced version of If It Was You was released on June 3, 2003. This version includes one bonus track ("Come On Kids"), two music videos ("Monday Monday Monday" and "I Hear Noises"), and two tour videos ("Born In The Eighties Tour" and "The Never-Ending Tour").

The singles released from this album include "Time Running", "I Hear Noises", and "Monday Monday Monday".

[edit] Review Quote

"...Tegan and Sara have pushed the brash melodies to the front, hooking you inside the songs where everything else - their distinct vocals and the harmonizing that they do so well, the catchy and clever rock instrumentation, and the universally personal lyrics - will invite you to return and linger. And when you do, you’ll also be surprised by the amount of diversity there is on the album." - Calgary Sun

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ a b The titles of the songs "And Darling (This Thing That Breaks My Heart)" and "Don't Confess" are often mixed up, in that the parenthesis stands next to "Don't Confess" instead of "And Darling". This can most likely be traced back to the track listing on the back of the CD, where the parenthesis is located under "And Darling", but next to "Don't Confess" (presumably for lack of space). The line "this thing that breaks my heart" can be found in the lyrics to "And Darling", however.
