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.

Em G D C
Out on the front porch with a kerosene lamp
Em G D C
See white-capped waves rolling five feet high,
Em G D C
but begging these memories for another advance
Em G D C
is like whispering love to the sky
Em G D C
I have this picture of you taking my hand
Em G D C
Sink to my knees in the damp, dark sand
Em G D C
Take off all your clothes and we reach out in vain
Em G D C
The light goes out as it starts to rain
Am D G D C
Saint Cecilia send me something simple and sublime
Am D G D C
Close my eyes and douse my head with red respberry wine
Em G D C....
Wind rises swiftly and the trees start to sway
To take back the delicate words that you said
Place me there in the sunrise of the strong new day
Cause the light here is failing these words are all dead
Just leave me my cherished ambiguity
I need it to sleep with, I need it to see
for all contradictions that I try to disguise
will rise up from my lungs - come to be baptised by
