…and of course shuffle immediately serves up a couple more tracks to remind me that "Lighting Candles" can only be top 3…

how could I forget it was a Steve song on Pandora which captivated me over 20 years ago when I was visiting this city, before I ever moved here?

The Weepies gave me permission to be sad and sensitive and weary and hopeful all at once. this album changed my life in a big way.

and while I'm back posting in this particular thread, how about a bonus Steve song, possibly my favorite? not sure on that, I'd have to listen to their (and his) entire discography to be sure. :P

Deb was always the star of the show in The Weepies, but they absolutely would not have been what they were without grown-up melancholy Steve ❤️‍🩹

came across the original version of a song I've listened to for years - from before the husband & wife duo who re-recorded it got together, when it was just the (future, and now past) husband's song … and I thought at first I might not like this version, but no, it's a keeper, and it's cool to finally hear what he brought to #TheWeepies before his future wife had any influence like she did on the album after this one.
