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!

Où le rêve est la réalité
Je ne suis jamais allé à Liverpool
Mais quelques amis me l'ont chantée
Un fou regarde le soleil se coucher
Sur les docks et sur les quais
Des milliers de couleurs sont déversées
Dans la mer et la Mersey Un bus vient nous emporter dans le ciel
Un sous-marin nous escorte et nous donne des ailes
Lucie, parée de diamants, étincelle
Un sergent et son orchestre nous appellent
Liverpool
(Un piano blanc, une Mini Cooper dessinée, un merle qui chante la fin de la nuit, un sitar, ici, là-bas, partout...)
À Liverpool
Un jour, je t'emmenerai à Liverpool
Où le rêve est la réalité
Un jour, je m'endormirai à Liverpool
Pour ne plus jamais me réveiller
Un homme de nulle part chante l'amour
Cheveux longs, lunettes obliques
Il vit dans un champ de fraises pour toujours
Sa Rolls est psychédélique
Imagine l'éternité pour ces gens
Imagine qu'ils ne comptent pas les printemps
Que leurs guitares pleureront doucement
Encore, lorsque nous aurons soixante-quatre ans
Liverpool

À Liverpool
The lyrics to Weepers Circus's song "Liverpool" describe a fantastical, dreamlike version of the titular city, one that exists in the imagination of the singer and his friends. The idea of Liverpool as a place where dreams are made manifest is repeated throughout the song, with references to the "thousands of colors" that spill into the sea, the bus that takes them "into the sky," and the "submarine" that gives them wings. The surreal imagery of the song only adds to its dreamlike quality, with references to a man who lives in a field of strawberries and drives a psychedelic Rolls Royce, and a sergeant with an orchestra who calls them forth.
At the heart of the lyrics to "Liverpool" is a sense of longing and a desire for a utopia that exists beyond the ordinary realm of everyday life. The city represents a kind of Edenic paradise, a place where hope and possibility thrive, and anything is possible. It's a place where one might go to live out their wildest dreams, or to simply escape the world as it is and lose themselves in the magic of the moment.
Overall, "Liverpool" is a song about the power of the imagination and the ways in which we construct the world around us through the stories we tell ourselves. It's a celebration of the transformative power of art, music, and the creative spirit, and a reminder that sometimes, the most important journeys we take are the ones that exist only in our minds.
