SOLO, '70s LIGHT ROCK AND THAT
KIND OF THING.

MY GRANDPARENTS LOVE THE '70s.
IT'S TIMELESS MUSIC.
IT'S NOT THAT WE CAN'T PLAY THE
REST OF IT.
Heather: IT WAS A GREAT
DECADE.
Guest: IT WAS THE BEST ERA
OF MUSIC THAT'S EVER BEEN.
Heather: YOU'RE KICKING OFF
THE HOUR WITH '70s.
Guest: IT IS.
OKAY.
I LIED.
IT'S NOT A BIG LIE.
BUT WHAT IT IS, I'VE WRITTEN --
THE SONGS I'VE WRITTEN, THEY
WERE ACTUALLY THIS YEAR AND LAST
YEAR.
BUT... THEY'RE A '70'S STYLE.
Heather: SO THAT SAME GENRE.
WHAT'S IT CALLED?
FIRST ONE IS CALLED "CRAZY
LOVE".
THIS IS A LOVE SO INTENSE, IT'S
ALMOST SPIRITUAL.
IT'S LIKE BEING BAPTIZED IN
LOVE.
ACTUALLY, YOU CAN TAKE THIS SONG
FOR YOUR WIFE OR FOR THE LORD,
EITHER ONE.
