They started as a medieval rock band and evolved into a fabulous and genuine band with a great bunch of different musical influences that makes it so unique.
To understand what the Weepers Circus is, you need to catch the train of their music, jump in it, and hold it tight, because you’ll be taken in lots of new places. You’ll discover a whole new world of colours, emotions and feelings.
With their last album called “La monstrueuse parade” they invite you to discover or rediscover the atmosphere of the Tod Browning’s movie “Freaks” (from 1932).
The first two songs (“Seul”, “La dignité”) are quite rock and give a dynamic tone to the record.
Then the atmosphere changes and you get wrap in a dress of smooth as the first note of the song “L’oiseau de Paradis” comes to your ears. This warm and lovely atmosphere last during the next two songs called “Janvier” and “En rêve”.
You are taken away from your reverie by the amazing voice of the French artist Olivia Ruiz, who has joined the Circus on the song “Sans vous aimer”. This song gives a new energy and opens the doors on a new picture, jazzier and lighter.
First there is the song called “La fille et le loup” that is a kind of caricature of the fairy Little red riding hood. With this song, the Weepers Circus shows you that you can be great artists, with a real and deep universe and a true talent, without taking yourself seriously. It’s an evidence of their sense of humour!
The next 2 songs called “Quelqu’un” and “La dernière pluie” and the duet with Isabelle Lux “Tu perds ton temps” keep the same energy, but have deeper meanings. Even if the lyrics are full of emotions, and sometimes of sadness, these songs make you feel like Charlie Chaplin when he was singing in the rain!
The song called “La parole perdue” is a perfect transition that drives you from the sweetness of the song called “Larme” to the liveliness and keenness of “Ca passe”.
Then comes the song called “L’une des nôtres” directly inspired by the Tod Browning’ movie from 1932 (“Freaks”). This song is very strong and the brasses give it a darker and deeper dimension.
And finally, our five weepers give you the coup de grace with their last song “Le monstre”. If you’ve been strong enough to restrain your tears during the listening of the record, this song will manage to draw tears from you!
When the listening is over, you get this strange feeling of having been knocked out by someone. In a little less than one hour, you’ve gone through so many different emotions that you hardly know where you are left now the music has been turn off!
You need to be warned: Their music is a drug, and you can easily get addicted!! But don’t worry, this kind of drug is very healthy!
Le K
Weepers Circus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
il est le K, la créature la plus crainte de la mer
toi seul le vois, il te suivra sur tous les océans du monde
la malédiction te prendra, compter les heures et les secondes...
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir
Il va suivre ton ombre de son grand regard noir
prendre ta raison comme on perd l'espoir
toute une vie accablé, acculé à la mer
il faut survivre ou fuir, traverser les frontières
Quand l'oubli pointera tu regard'ras l'océan
il est là si patient, ce monstrueux amant
tu peux fuir, parcourir toutes les eaux du monde
mais regarde toujours derrière ton épaule !
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir
Viens dans la nuit, une étoile qui brille
Aujourd'hui ton cœur saigne et les années passées
ont fait de toi un vieux et solitaire homme pressé
comme le ciel se couche ton regard se trouble
il est temps maintenant de rencontrer ton double
Vous êtes deux vieilles âmes toutes les deux fatiguées
le corps épuisé et le regard fané
et il tient dans sa gueule une perle d'abondance
qu'il t'offre en s'en allant, une perle de chance
Et lorsque tu t'envoles au royaume des morts
la perle devient poussière et toi une étoile filante...
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir
Laisse le K venir, ça n'sert à rien de fuir…
Viens dans la nuit, une étoile qui brille…
The lyrics of the song "Le K" by Weepers Circus tell a haunting and captivating story of a mythical creature known as the K, described as having the muzzle of a bison and feared by all who sail the seas. The singer of the song is warned of the K's presence, with the creature following them across the world's oceans. The lyrics convey a sense of impending doom, as the curse of the K will eventually catch up to the singer, who will be forced to count every hour and second until their fate is sealed.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the futility of running from the K, urging the singer to instead face their destiny head-on. The imagery of an ominous figure pursuing the singer is further enhanced as they are warned to let the K come and not attempt to flee. The mention of a shining star in the night sky adds a mystical and foreboding atmosphere to the narrative.
As the song progresses, the K's influence over the singer grows stronger, symbolized by its dark gaze and the gradual loss of their reason and hope. The choice presented is stark: either survive the encounter with the K or escape by crossing borders and fleeing the relentless pursuit. The ocean is depicted as a vast and unforgiving setting where the singer's fate hangs in the balance.
The final verses of the song depict a poignant reckoning with mortality and the passage of time. The singer is portrayed as a weathered and solitary individual, haunted by memories and facing a final confrontation with the K. The creature offers a symbolic gift in the form of a pearl of abundance before the singer's departure to the realm of the dead. The lyrics poignantly illustrate the transient nature of life, as the pearl turns to dust and the singer ascends to become a shooting star in the night sky, symbolizing a peaceful and inevitable end to their journey.
