obscure Musical Lyric for the week of Nov.17/08

Good Monday morning music fans (talk about 3M). Well the snow came and I don't think it's leaving for a while. It sure was pretty on Saturday night just watching the flakes fall. On Sunday morning, my beloved made breakfast before church and used the Christmas dishes, just for fun. Ya gotta have fun, I say.

The song I have chosen this week was one of the top one hundred (100) songs from 2007 as chosen by Rolling Stone. Yep, this is a relatively current song. It is sung by quite a contrasting pair of individuals, one of whom is considerably older than the other. I have rarely listened to one of them and have listened to the other one much more back in the day.

Now I'm guilty of something

I hope you never do

because there is nothing

any sadder than losing yourself in love

The hints are pretty tough this week. They are a "new duo" and have been touring and singing together for the last year. They came from significantly different musical roots, are from different places and have a large age gap.

I would like to know the following:

The name of the song:
The name of the album:
The singers:
The writer of the song:

Have an awesome week, I have a very busy week but will try to get some additional hints to you on Wednesday. Enjoy the snow, at least it looks pretty and most people who suffer from allergies, don't have to suffer right now. There's a silver lining to every snow cloud.
