The AE Song of the Week:
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?
Oh crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
"Crazy" by Patsy Cline, from the album "Patsy Cline Showcase" (1961).* Written by Willie Nelson, Publisher: Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC. Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind. Watch Patsy perform it here.
*This song was written by Willie Nelson, who just turned 90 last week. He was a struggling country singer at the time and got a big break when Cline recorded this and made it a hit. It has become one of Nelson's most enduring songs. He covered the song for his own debut album, ...And Then I Wrote, in 1962. A classic torch song, "Crazy" finds Cline despondent after losing her love, who has run off with someone else. She always knew it would never work between them, but she still can't get over it, which seems crazy, but happens to the best of us. On an episode of VH1's Storytellers, Willie Nelson revealed that this was originally titled "Stupid." Cline was thrown through a windshield in a car accident two months before she recorded this (they didn't have seat belts back then). At the first session, she couldn't hit the high notes because of a broken rib, so the studio musicians recorded their parts without her. Two weeks later, she did her vocals while standing on crutches. This was Cline's biggest hit. She died in a plane crash two years later at age 30. (Knowledge courtesy of Songfacts.com)
