Flashback Friday: Just as Long as We're in Love
- Swoon, The Number One Songs in Heaven, 07.01.04This is from his wonderful 1973 What Color Is Love? album and is so gorgeous it makes me weak at the knees. Callier has hippy tendencies which sometimes put me off him a bit, indulging in rambling nine minute songs about drugs and generally being a bit of the cliched New Agey folky in his lyrics, but he has an incredible voice and this tune is pure ear candy due to the baroque production of Charles Stepney who worked similar magic with Minnie Riperton and Earth, Wind & Fire. If you're having a bad day this is the musical equivalent of a hot bubble bath, let it wash over you and all your cares will float away.
