![]() Happiness (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
It always rained around you
We tried to go inside and it would rain there too
It came pouring through the roof when we traveled underground
Whiskey, water, and tears 'til I thought that we would drown
Jolene, Jolene
Is it still raining everywhere you are?
We didn't hide from it at all
No we just let it fall
In the morning she was gone and everything was dry
The city streets were crowded and I felt like I would die
Now there's sunshine and flowers everywhere
And I don't care
All of these clouds will disappear
Like we were never here
But I swear there was a time I thought that it would never stop
And now I only think about you if it's raining or it's not

| arsenault (long beach cali US and A) | Posted: Jan 15, 2009 - 22:47 first hearing...excellent musicianship...like nickel creek. hooray for great contemporary music... |
| auburntigerrich (Edge of the 'Verse) | Posted: Jun 08, 2008 - 18:51 Also don't forget to try Deb's solo stuff... just as tasty. |
| cc_rider (Austin Texas. Y'all.) | Posted: May 08, 2008 - 08:38 Any song about 'Jolene' works for me. |

Peppier than Nickle Creek ? Great song! |
| OlafofIsland | Posted: Jun 15, 2005 - 13:21 I'm so glad to see The Weepies with some air play. Way to go RP. |
| AliGator | Posted: May 31, 2005 - 14:25 I prefer this to the other "Jolene" we hear here. |

Totally different head -- totally. |

I love RP.com and have suggested to several of my artist friends to submit their music. Deb Talan & Steve Tannen make beautiful, touching music together along with being genuinely sweet folk. I hope to hear more of their songs on your station!!!! They played two different sold out San Diego shows with my boyfriend, Carlos Olmeda and everyone one loved them! Thanks again! You guys ROCK! Love the format & the eclectic flare.
Deb Talan is Wicked Awesome 'cause she's from Boston! Pissahhhhh! Go Sox!!! Plus my roommate used to date her sister... "What does that make us?" "Absolutely nothing" |

| wonderplum (South Korea) | Posted: Feb 17, 2005 - 18:02 "I only think about you when it's raining and it's not" or something like that. Clever |
| zeta (Madtown) | Posted: Feb 17, 2005 - 18:02 After hearing this song here I went oout and bought the EP. Very nice. |
| llazare (Ann Arbor, MI) | Posted: Jan 19, 2005 - 06:44 Man, that's one infectious beat. Perfect song to listen to first thing in the morning after slowly driving to work in a snowstorm here in Michigan. Great track. |
| andi_t | Posted: Dec 20, 2004 - 17:54 What a fun song! And this station is absolutely the bomb. I LOVE RP.... It is definitely my best find this year! Andi |
| rah | Posted: Dec 20, 2004 - 17:48 just had to come on to say that the name of this group made me snort my tea when i read it. |

I submitted 'Forgiven' by Deb Talan but that astonishingly got turned down after a measly 1/2 vote. =< Be happy--it got added and it's being played! :) |

| Carissa (Trafficville (Atlanta), GA) | Posted: Sep 08, 2004 - 09:39 And here I was thinking I was the only one in the neighborhood who had been clued in to The Weepies! Good to hear them here. Would love to hear "All That I Want." |
