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 jour se lève
Weepers Circus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Il est l’heure, j’ai peur et j’ai froid.
Voici que le temps passe et que moi je trépasse.
J’ai beaucoup gagné, j’ai peu perdu,
J’ai peu donné, j’ai beaucoup reçu.
Mais le jour se lève et tout au bout de l’épreuve,
Quelque chose change, rien ne s’achève…
The lyrics to Weepers Circus's song "Le jour se lève" convey a sense of struggle and introspection. The opening line, "Je crois m’être éveillé mais je ne me lèverai pas," translates to "I think I woke up but I won't get up." This line represents a reluctance to face the challenges of the day, perhaps due to fear or a feeling of being overwhelmed. The following lines, "Il est l’heure, j’ai peur et j’ai froid," meaning "It's time, I'm scared and I'm cold," further emphasize the character's apprehension and vulnerability.
As the lyrics continue, the passage of time is mentioned: "Voici que le temps passe et que moi je trépasse," which translates to "Here, time passes and I'm dying." This line suggests a feeling of being trapped or stagnant, as if time keeps moving forward while the character feels stuck or unfulfilled. The singer reflects on their accomplishments and losses, stating, "J’ai beaucoup gagné, j’ai peu perdu, J’ai peu donné, j’ai beaucoup reçu" (I've gained a lot, I've lost little, I've given little, I've received a lot). This line indicates a sense of imbalance and raises questions about the meaning and purpose of their actions.
However, despite the challenges and uncertainties, there is a glimmer of hope in the line, "Mais le jour se lève et tout au bout de l’épreuve, Quelque chose change, rien ne s’achève" (But the day rises and at the end of the ordeal, something changes, nothing ends). This suggests that even in the face of adversity, there is a potential for transformation and growth.
Overall, "Le jour se lève" explores themes of fear, introspection, and the potential for change in the midst of life's challenges.
