Sweet Darlin' Girl (A Good Love Song is Hard To Find, Post #2)

I know I missed Valentine's Day. Oh well. Here is another beautiful, wonderful, true love song.

Such a baby face.

GOOD LOVE SONG: Believer by Ben Kweller

This song has some of the beautiful lyrics out there. Here they are in their entirety:

"When you're hurt you heal others.

When you're in need you give.
Because of you I am living the most that I can live.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.

Remember me, don't forget me,
I have something true.
My path is dark, my steps uncertain, 

Unless I walk with you.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.

Your power...surrounds me.

You speak to me without speaking.
You touch so I can feel.
With your strength I am stronger, 

at last I know I'm real.

Oh, sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
Oh, sweet darling girl
Your power surrounds me.

Your power...Oh...

Whoa... sweet darling girl
I'm so glad you found me.
I'm so glad that you found me, yeah you did
And your power surrounds me."

You get a real sense of this woman's beauty and goodness, without any reference to her physical attraction or sexiness or what have you. Kweller has really penned a tribute, not just a love song. It's amazing. And it gets stuck in your head, too. I think the song must be about his wife, Lizzy, who he married a few years back and has two kids with. 

Ben Kweller got into music ages ago with his band Radish, but then hit it big with his solo album "Sha Sha" that came out in 2002. A few more albums have come out since, and his new one "Changing Horses" is due out soon. His voice sounds pretty young and teenage-y, even though I'm sure he's long past his teenage years now. While I don't usually like that type of voice, for some reason, I still like him. This song, though, is definitely one of his deeper and more mature ones.

Enjoy!
