Biografia:
A banda Weakerthans foi formada em 1997, em Winnipeg , Manitoba por John K. Samson , depois que ele deixou a banda de hardcore Propagandhi. John se juntou com o baixista John P. Sutton e o baterista Jason Tait , ambos de Winnipeg, e criaram o Weakerthans, com um som mais melódico e uma forma introspectiva de composição que seus projetos anteriores.
A história da origem do nome da banda, como citado no encarte de Fallow menciona, é uma quota do filme de 1992 "The Lover"( "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine.

Civil Twilight by the Weakerthans
For the riff parts (where it says F E D C G etc.) its easiest to play these all on the
string and move down.
F Bb
My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
F Bb
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
F Bb
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
F Bb
and I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
C C/C#
And angry like you never were;
F
and I ease us back into traffic
Bb
Dusk comes on and I wonder
F Bb
Why I'm always remembering you, in civil twilight
F E D C (try running down the power chords starting on 13)
(repeat pattern for verse/chorus)
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!
This part of the day bewilders me
Streets slow down and ice over,
Dusk comes on and I struggle to stop,
To stop to stop thinking of you,in civil twilight
(run down the power chords) F5 E5 D5 C5 G5
G5 A5
Hey, every other hour I pass that house,
Bb5 C5 C/C#5
Where you told me that you had to go
G5 Am5
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
Bb5 C5 C/C#5
That I stared at, instead of staring back at
F Bb
you, My chance to say something seemed so breif, but it wasn't.
F Bb
Now I know I had plenty of time
F
Between the sunset and certified darkness
Bb F Bb
Dusk comes on and I follow the exhaust from memory up to the end
F5 E5 D5 C5 Bb5
The civil twilight
F5 E5 D5 C5 Bb5
The civil twilight
F5 E5 D5 C5 Bb5
The civil twilight
