樂隊介紹
2005年12月，The Weepies在此廠牌錄製完成全新專輯“Say I Am You”，並於2006年3月正式發行。《Say I Am You》是The Weepies的第二張專輯，也是讓他們被主流音樂市場接受的專輯。專輯在2006年2月曾經在8個國家的“iTunes下載次數最多的Folk專輯榜”上攀升到首位，而單曲"World Spins Madly On"也在美國的iTunes Folk歌曲榜上獲得了冠軍。在The Weepies所發行的三張專輯，這張獲得的媒體評價最好。在這張專輯中，The Weepies繼續了他們在首張專輯《Happiness》的精彩表現，他們簡短、感傷、旋律優美的Folk-pop在《Say I Am You》里繼續，而美妙的歌聲、輕輕撥動的琴弦也沒有消失。這張專輯的名字"Say I Am You"引自一位13世紀作家Jelaluddin Rumi的作品，這位作家以創作帶有強烈信仰、熱情愛意的詩歌著稱，所以這張專輯的主題毫無疑問就是愛情。有些時候，愛情會隱藏起來或者丟失（比如在"World Spins Madly On"里），有時愛情也會是虛假的，但是最終一定會有一種愛情被發現被呵護。在專輯的大部分時候，The Weepies都在主持著一種對“愛情”主題的討論，他們並沒有想要讓這個主題成為那些甜蜜迷人曲調的配飾。
2008年，The Weepies發行了新專輯《Hideaway》
特點是旋律簡單，音樂流暢，音韻恬淡，清新自然。
the weepies有男女獨唱，亦有男女聲混唱。其音樂淡淡的感覺帶著簡潔和清新的味道，細膩的吉他，抒情的歌詞，美麗卻不張揚，值得細細品味。

英文專輯介紹
The Weepies (Steve Tannen and Deb Talan) have never pretended to be anything that they're not, which is, briefly, sentimental, melodic folk-pop, with harmonious vocals and gently picked guitars. They accept this, they relish in it, they did it well on Happiness, and they continue to do so on their 13-track major-label debut. Being that the title of the record, Say I Am You, is a quote from 13th century writer Jelaluddin Rumi, known for his intense spiritual and passionate poems, it is not a surprise that the album is all about love. Sometimes the love is hidden or lost ("World Spins Madly On," for example), sometimes it's false, but mainly it's a love that has been gratefully found and cherished. And for the most part, the Weepies manage to discuss and explore this without falling into the trappings of typically saccharine infatuated musings. "Take It from Me," the album's opener, has Talan trying, vainly, to find metaphors for her incomparable beloved ("a favorite pair of shoes?" or "a window the sun shines through?" she wonders), and the rest of the album pretty much follows suit. The songs are simple and pretty and generally uplifting, basking in the glow of being happily smitten, but not blind to the misfortunes of others in the world. The tracks on which Tannen sings the lead vocals are actually the most pessimistic of them all (the David Gray-like "Love Doesn't Last Too Long," for instance) or at least the most ambiguous, and provide more of a cynical, or perhaps just sad, perspective on the theme. Tannen's voice is nice, but it's nowhere near as charming as that of his counterpart's: he's much better suited to the role of backup harmony, and probably because of this he sings lead on only about one-third of the album. Talan's voice, instead, is a pleasant reminder of the chick-folk/rock stars of the '90s, but she adds her own sweet innocence that fits perfectly with the love songs, the twinkling guitar, the literate wordplay, the scalar melodies. Say I Am You is not groundbreaking music, but the Weepies know what they're doing, and they know how they feel, and they're not afraid to sing about it.

專輯介紹:
HIDEAWAY 是The Weepies多年共同奮鬥的結果。同樣是家庭DIY的產物，跟他們上一張相比，Hideway 顯得更陰沉一些，14首單曲包含從噪音搖滾的“Not Dead Yet”到精緻編排下的冥想產物，“How You Survived the War”、“Little Bird”。如同大多數 Weepies 的作品，他們的努力工作有了一個好的結果：樂團成員 Deb 和 Steve 在2007年結了婚，10月的時候有了他們愛情的結晶，一個小男孩，叫做 Theo. The Weepies 在HIDEAWAY的演唱方式沒有擺脫他們以往那種獨一無二的行文風格和不尋常的和弦調式。作為這一標誌性的結果，他們的樂隊成員依然包括了貝司手兼吉他手Whynot Jansveld、吉他手 Meghan Toohey 和鼓手 Frank Lenz。在這張新專輯中出現的新人物，包括弦樂演奏者 Oliver Kraus、鍵盤手 John Deley、吉他手 Steve Walsh 和小號演奏者兼鍵盤手 Brad Gordon

英文專輯介紹
HIDEAWAY is the result of their year-long struggle to get tapped in again. Another homemade gem, HIDEAWAY is a darker companion to their last album, with 14 new tunes ranging from the upbeat title track to the jangly rock of "Not Dead Yet" to gorgeously arranged meditations like "How You Survived the War" and "Little Bird."
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.

歌詞
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
************************************
"GOTTA HAVE YOU" Lyrics
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...
