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.

Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Standard tuning, capo on the first fret. All chords relative to capo.
I've watched several videos of the Weakerthans playing this. Live they play it in D, capo 3, which is the
same key, but they use really odd chord voicings. This will sound very close, but not 100%.

Just one more drink and then I

shadows colonize snow.
N.C.
Ice breaking up on the bay

off the Lassiter coast.

Light falling over the pole

as every longitude leads

up to your frostbitten feet.
A
Oh, you're very sweet,
[Chorus]

thank you for the flowers
A E
and the book by Derrida,

but I must be getting back to dear Antarctica.
[Bridge]
