Song of the Week: The Weepies' "Somebody Loved"

Such a sweet song. Listen to--

The Weepies' "Somebody Loved"

The song (purchase) is composed and performed by Deb Talan and Steve Tannen, the husband-wife team known as The Weepies. It's easy to find yourself "in love," but this song captures the wonder of someone who knows that it's pure grace to be loved. It looks like the lyrics were written by this couple in their lean times before they were discovered.
Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved.

Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together alone
Cold turned our breath into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved.

Someday when we're old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you.

Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved.
