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.

Weakerthans - A New Name for Everything
Tabbed by Dan Winchester
Intro: G Em D C
G Em
When the bus-shelter windows and napkin-dispensers surprise
D C
with distorted reflections, it's never the someone you're hoping to recognize.
G Em
When the rent is too high living here between reasons to live,
D C
and you can't sleep alone, and your memories groan, and the borders of night start to give.
C D G C
When you can't save
C D
cash or conviction; you're broke and you're breaking-a
G C
tired shoelace or a wave.
C D G
So long past, past-due. A new name for everything.
G D C C
G Em
When the one-ways collude with the map that you folded wrong,
D C
and the route you abandoned is always the path that you probably should be upon.
G Em
When the bottle-cap ashtrays and intimate's ears are all full
D C
with results of your breath, and the threads of your fear are unfurled with the tiniest pull.
C D G C
One more time, try.
C D
Stand with your hands in your pockets and stare at the
G C
smudge on a newspaper sky,
C D G
and ask it to rain a new name for everything.
G D C C
Em D C A7 C
Fire every phrase. They don't want to work for us anymore.
Em D C A7 C
Dot and Dash our days. Make your face the flag of a semaphore.
G Em D C
G Em D C
C D G C
All you won't show.
C D
The boxes you brought here and never unpacked are still
G C
patiently waiting to go.
C D
So put on those clothes you never grew into, and
G C
smile like you mean it for once.
C D G
If you come back, bring a new name for everything.
G D C C x4
