Emy and Sara??

[8mr-music8]

But putting herself out there is not just a musical construction — it also comes naturally in conversation. When discussing Emy Storey — the band’s artistic director and Sara’s girlfriend of five years, with whom she had declared a common-law relationship — Sara was candid about the dissolution of their romance. “[Emy] is a tremendously huge part of what Tegan and I do in terms of the artwork and the Web site and the vision,” she said. “In kind of a weird way, she was like my Yoko Ono for five years. … It’s really difficult when the romantic part of your relationship kind of seems like it’s over, but you can’t just dissolve the rest of it — that would be awful. We’re obviously really involved and we want to continue to work together, but it’s really tough.”

Ironically enough, The Con’s opening track, “I Was Married,” was penned by Sara the day she and Emy had declared their relationship. Although rarely overtly political in her songwriting, “I Was Married” is a polemic against those who oppose gay marriage: “They seem so very scared of us / I look into the mirror, for evil that just does not exist / I don’t see what they see.”

Although Sara is usually the more settled of the two, Tegan is providing much-needed support in this highly emotional time. “The thing I think Tegan and I do really well together is we balance each other out. Any time I have any extreme thing going on in my life, it feels like Tegan really seesaws to the other side,” Sara said. “In terms of our music, I think we do it there, too. Tegan can be so consistent and kind of linear to her approach to songwriting, and so it’s okay if I come with my weird sound.”
