Thee Sacred Souls - Somebody Knew / We Don't Have to be Alone (7")

Thee modern masters of sweet soul return with two killer 6/8 ballads that explore the messy particulars of love lost and love found. The moody, blues forward "Somebody Knew" tackles the former as singer Josh Lane bares his soul with a tale about a sensitive subject many of us can relate to—processing the shame and pain associated with losing the one you love to another. Tracked during the sessions for Got a Story to Tell and a stand out in their live set, "We Don't Have to Be Alone" is a gorgeous, floaty ballad that deals with two folks coming to terms with the fact that it's ok to find comfort and joy in love at a provisional level.
