The Weepies,一支由
Deb Talan和Steve Tannen组成的流行民谣二重奏组合。两人初次相遇是在Tannen的
波士顿音乐会上。在此之前,两人都已各自发表过自己的作品(Deb Talan发行过3张,Steve Tannen发行过2张)。二人相互钦佩,很快就一起开始了创作歌曲,并且Weepies很快诞生了。2004年,他们独立发布了8只歌的EP“Happiness”,并且在二年后签约Nettwerk
厂牌。
乐队介绍
2008年,The Weepies发行了新专辑《Hideaway》
特点是旋律简单,音乐流畅,音韵恬淡,清新自然。
有男女独唱,亦有男女声混唱。其音乐淡淡的感觉带着简洁和清新的味道,细腻的吉他,抒情的歌词,美丽却不张扬,值得细细品味。

专辑介绍:
HIDEAWAY 是The Weepies多年共同奋斗的结果。同样是家庭DIY的产物,跟他们上一张相比,Hideway 显得更阴沉一些,14首单曲包含从噪音摇滚的“Not Dead Yet”到精致编排下的冥想产物,“How You Survived the War”、“Little Bird”。如同大多数 Weepies 的作品,他们的努力工作有了一个好的结果:乐团成员 Deb 和 Steve 在2007年结了婚,10月的时候有了他们爱情的结晶,一个小男孩,叫做 Theo. The Weepies 在HIDEAWAY的演唱方式没有摆脱他们以往那种独一无二的行文风格和不寻常的和弦调式。作为这一标志性的结果,他们的乐队成员依然包括了贝司手兼吉他手Whynot Jansveld、吉他手 Meghan Toohey 和鼓手 Frank Lenz。在这张新专辑中出现的新人物,包括弦乐演奏者 Oliver Kraus、键盘手 John Deley、吉他手 Steve Walsh 和小号演奏者兼键盘手 Brad Gordon

英文专辑介绍
As with most of The Weepies' music, there is a happy ending to all the struggle: Deb and Steve were married in 2007, and they had a baby boy, Theo, in October.
The Weepies sound on HIDEAWAY remains rooted in their unique writing and unusual harmonies. Their distinctive production is once again filled out by bass player and guitarist Whynot Jansveld, guitarist Meghan Toohey and drummer Frank Lenz. Additional musicians on this album include string player Oliver Kraus, keyboardist John Deley, guitarist Steve Walsh, and horn player/keyboardist Brad Gordon.

歌词
What can I compare you to, a favorite pair of shoes?
Maybe my bright red boots if they had wings
Funny how we animate colorful objects saved
Funny how it’s hard to take a love with no sting
But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me
But come on take it, come on take it, take it from me
(we've got a good life)
What can I compare you to, a window the sun shines through?
Maybe the silver moon, a smile rising
The magic of the fading day, satellites on parade
A toast to the plans we've made to live like kings
I lose my breath despite the air
When the rain falls down I give in to despair
Pink magnolia in winter, she doesn’t care
if you don’t show up to have another cup
What can I compare you to, when everything looks like you?
I get a bit confused with every Spring
Flowers that bloom your eyes, hummingbirds side by side
My heart won’t stay entirely in this rib caging
************************************
Gray, quiet and tired and mean
Picking at a worried seam
I try to make you mad at me over the phone
Red eyes and fire and signs
I’m taken by a nursery rhyme
I want to make a ray of sunshine and never leave home
No amount of coffee, no amount of crying
No amount of whiskey, no amount of wine
No, nothing else will do
I've gotta have you, I've gotta have you
The road gets cold
There’s no spring in the middle this year
I’m the new chicken clucking open hearts and ears
Oh, such a prima donna, sorry for myself
But green, it is also summer
And I won’t be warm till I’m lying in your arms
I see it all through a telescope:
Guitar, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat
Humming a tune...
