Former ballerinas turned songstresses, they released their self-titled debut in 2000 with Epic. The album was met with lukewarm reception, but the girls were undeterred. After moving to New York, they released Light Of The Moon with Universal in 2005, with similar luck. After leaving the label and their manager to make some serious changes, they recorded their third album with producer Roger Greenawalt and after having opened a week's worth of shows for Albert Hammond Jr. [Catherine Pierce's fiancee] in November 2006, the girls were greeted with much more enthusiastic reception and excellent press.
Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge was released in April 2007.
The Pierces recently gained even more press when they were featured on the December 5th episode of the hit TV show, "Gossip Girl".
However, despite Catherine's high-profile celebrity romance with the Strokes guitarist, Albert Hammond Jr., the increased publicity didn't translate into sales.
According to the You'll Be Mine Songfacts, the siblings were on the verge of calling it a day when a friend of theirs, Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman, offered to produce them. The result was The Pierces fourth album, You & I, their first release after signing to Polydor.

I could never get enough
I could never get enough
Darkness falls and my heart calls
It's crying out for you, I wonder
Do I ever cross your mind
Could I get you on the line
Baby I know you say that the devil is a lonely night
Two thousand heart are breaking, breaking
But you can always take me to the light
I miss you like crazy
Do you miss me?
Sounds so sweet when you talk to me
You say you wanna be my boyfriend
We'll sleep on into light
We'll sleep on into light
Feels so nice that I think twice before I let you go again
I'm coming back around
I'm coming back around
Baby I know you say that the devil is a lonely night
I can't help myself, I feel the pull and I deal number
Two thousand hearts are breaking, breaking
But you can always take me to the light
I miss you like crazy
Do you miss me
Do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I think you do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Baby I know you say that the devil is a lonely night
I can't help myself, I feel the pull and I am numb but
Two thousand hearts are breaking, breaking
But you can always take me to the light
I miss you like crazy
Do you miss me
Do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I think you do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I think you do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I think you do oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
The Pierces's song, "The Devil Is a Lonely Night", is a song about the pull of past love that can't quite be forgotten. The singer finds a picture of their past lover and is overwhelmed by the memories it brings back. The darkness of night amplifies this feeling and the singer wonders if they ever cross the mind of the past lover. The past lover seems to have moved on and even admits that they are in a bad place, but the singer can't help but feel the pull back towards them. Despite knowing the risks of going back to the past, the singer is willing to take that risk because they miss their lover so much.
The lyrics of the song highlight the pull of past love and how memories can be both overwhelming and nostalgic. It also shows how difficult it can be to move on from someone you once loved deeply. The devil in the song represents the temptation to go back to what is familiar, even if it may end up being destructive. The song acknowledges the pain that comes with loving someone who may not love you back in the same way, but also highlights the beauty of the memories that were shared.
Overall, "The Devil Is a Lonely Night" is a poignant and introspective song that highlights the complexity of human emotions and the struggle of moving on from past love.
