They'll Make You Weep

A couple nights ago I went with my friend Leah to see The Weepies play at the Rex Theatre in Pittsburgh. I had never been to the venue before and was pleasantly surprised when I got there. It’s rather small, which makes for an intimate set up. There were probably 300 people at the show.

The Weepies, if you don’t know, are an incredible married couple and each one plays no less than 3 instruments. They both have these soothing lullaby voices and some pretty weepy lyrics that have a tendency to pull at your heart strings. Its perfect music for drinking wine alone on a rooftop deck watching as storm rolls in.

The moving thing about this show was that it was acoustic and the duo sounded BETTER than they do on CD’S. Amazing. However, you find yourself standing in this room full of couples in love cuddling, watching this couple on stage just woo the audience and it makes you feel both full and very lonely at the same time. The world around you is in love and you’re watching it all play out…alone.

One of their songs sums it up perfectly… “They’re in love, where am I.”
