Shawn Colvin recorded a Gnarls Barkley cover of Crazy in StudioC at Cities97 last year and put it on one of their year-end samplers that raise money for a variety of charities in the twin cities. Because she has been a favorite of mine for several years...I thought I'd share a favorite tune. The lyrics are a bit controversial...but I think it's really just about trying to be in control in a world where that's not really possible.
What do you think they mean?
Crazy
I remember when, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
And so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
And those of you are having the time of your life
But think twice,
that's my only advice
Come on now,
who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha, ha bless mine soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking,
I wanna be like them.
Ever since I was little,
ever since I was little it looked like fun
So it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
But Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
