In which Carice digs into her obsessively deep well of love songs and comes up with some choice cuts from Nina Simone (covering Johnny Mathis), Dionne Warwick (singing a peppy little tune with lyrics by Hal David and music by the dearly departed legend Burt Bacharach), and a playful little duet by John Prine and Iris Dement— which then reminds Daniel of another classic "I-guess-I-love-you" duet from musical theatre history.

EPISODE NOTES:

"Wild Is The Wind" (lyrics by Ned Washington)

"I'll Never Fall In Love Again" (lyrics by Hal David)

"In Spite Of Ourselves" (lyrics by John Prine)

In which Carice and Daniel continue their discussion of great song lyrics with "God" in the title. Some deep conversation ensues, including: what it would mean to "swap places", per Kate Bush's timeless lyric; the tragedy of believing in gods that fail us; and how almighty and potentially dangerous "God" really is— not the deity, but the word and idea itself, depending on who's using it.

EPISODE NOTES:

• Elvis Costello, "God's Comic"
• Kate Bush, "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)"
• Metallica, "The God That Failed"
• Bob Dylan, "With God On Our Side"
