"the weight" The Band cover "The Weight" is the title of a 1968 song by The Band. It is one of the group's best (More) "The Weight" is the title of a 1968 song by The Band. It is one of the group's best known songs and among the most popular songs of the late 1960s counterculture. The Band's version is an excellent example of a silent title record, one in which the title never appears in the lyrics. While the names of the five members of The Band appear on the record label, "The Band" does not. The song was composed by The Band's Robbie Robertson and appears originally on The Band's first album, Music from Big Pink.
It is #41 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list
"The Weight" takes the folk music motif of a traveler, who arrives in Nazareth in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania. Once there, he encounters various residents of the town, the song being a story of these encounters.
The residents include a man who cannot direct the traveler to a hotel, Carmen and the Devil walking side by side, "Crazy Chester," who offers a bed in exchange for the traveler taking his dog, and Luke who has gone out to wait for the apocalypse, leaving his young bride neglected.
The traveler refers to "Miss Fannie," who has sent him on his journey to Nazareth, and "the weight" of the song is a reference to the burden of travel, of giving a message to the town, and of sin. The chorus refers to taking a load off of Fannie and putting it on the singer. The numerous Biblical allusions in the character names and incidents in the song are allegorical, referring to a purgatorial experience. In Levon Helm's autobiography "This Wheel's on Fire," Helm explains that the people mentioned in the song were based on real people the Band knew. The "Miss Anna Lee" mentioned in the lyric is Helm's longtime friend Anna Lee Amsden[2].
Robertson on "The Weight"
According to Robertson, "The Weight" was somewhat inspired by the films of Luis Buñuel, about which Robertson once said:
He did so many films on the impossibility of sainthood, people trying to do good in Viridiana and Nazarín, and it's impossible to do good. In "The Weight" it's the same thing. Someone says, "Listen, will you do me this favor? When you get there will you say 'hello' to somebody or will you pick up one of these for me?" "Oh, you're going to Nazareth, do me a favor when you're there." So the guy goes and one thing leads to another and it's like, "Holy shit, what has this turned into? I've only come here to say 'hello' for somebody and I've got myself in this incredible predicament." It was very Buñuelish to me at the time.
Musical construction
"The Weight" is sung primarily by Levon Helm, The Band's drummer. Rick Danko, the bassist, sings the fourth verse, and joins Helm in singing the fifth verse. The chorus is sung by all three of The Band's singers.
Each verse follows the format of:
Chords:A, C# minor, D, A
Lyrics: I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead";
The chorus then takes the format of:
Chords: A, E, D, A, E, D
Lyrics: Take a load off Fannie, take a load for free;
The easily identifiable bass run between the final verse and the chorus is up the A major pentatonic scale (that is, A,B,C#,E,F#,A).
Film and commercial play
"The Weight" has featured prominently in many films and television shows, including such movies as Hope Floats; Igby Goes Down (in a cover version by rock band Travis); The Big Chill; Easy Rider; Girl, Interrupted; Patch Adams; and Starsky & Hutch (as a parody of the scene in Easy Rider); and on television in The Sopranos (Episode 4 of Season 4 is titled "The Weight" and features the song in the end credits) and also on My Name Is Earl. It also shows up in the show Scrubs where the song is peformed by Zach Braff and his friends as part of a skit. It has also been used in commercials for Diet Coke and Cingular/AT&T Wireless, an American telecommunications company.
The song was also included on the Easy Rider Soundtrack, but was performed by the band Smith because of contractual problems preventing use of The Band's version.
