    - So I was, uh,
  • 0:02 - 0:05
    getting ready for Christmas last year, and uh,
  • 0:05 - 0:06
    um,
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    I was flying home and uh,
  • 0:09 - 0:10
    my,
  • 0:10 - 0:11
    I was thinking
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    about Christmas gifts, and uh,
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    I was like "Ah, I need to buy my [?] a Christmas gift,"
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    It was like two days before Christmas, and uh,
  • 0:20 - 0:21
    I was like, "Well..."
  • 0:22 - 0:26
    "you know, the easiest thing for a songwriter or musician is to write a song for someone!" [laughing]
  • 0:26 - 0:31
    So I wrote a song for her, uh, and put it on the album, and uh...
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    It was kind of an afterthought, really,
  • 0:33 - 0:43
    and, uh, I thought it'd fit well. It's, uh, called "When We Were Young," and I think most of us in here can relate to it.
  • 0:43 - 0:46
    There's a lot of young faces in here, but uh...
  • 0:47 - 0:47
    um,
  • 0:47 - 0:49
    "When We Were Young."
