| STILL CRAZY FOR YOU
(Music & Lyrics by Charles Sandford) You know my feelings run deep You've got me calling your name in my sleep We've held each other while we cried through the night It always turned out alright But I fell victim to a parallax view I sensed a change but I swore it was you I shied away when you needed me most Didn't see what I was doing, now I'm left destitute I never knew how lost I could be 'til today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you We've thrived in shadows from scene to scene My mind still wanders to the Tavern On The Green We lived for moments that we stole away They seem as vivid today We had our problems, when we hadn't the time You clung to yours and I did to mine Didn't I see how they tore us apart Now I'm a banished refugee There's nothing left for me I never knew how lost I could be 'til today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you I never knew how lost I could be 'til today My panorama's dark, my sight's been stripped away I can't seem to bridge this break between us two Don't you know I need you back now, baby Can't you see I'm still crazy for you Still crazy for you, still crazy for you I'm so crazy for you, still crazy for you (total playing time 3:56) |
It wasn't until yesterday that I noticed that this one was not written at all by Rick. When people are talking about all the interesting words Rick uses in his songs "paralax" always comes up, so I've just always thought he wrote this one. Wow.
Until we started with our website, I never really "listened" to this song and it wasn't until we were putting the lyrics up that I realized Rick didn't write this song. But now that I have rediscovered it, I love this song. I think unless you actually looked to see who wrote it, that you would think this was Rick's. The sound of the music is identifiable with Rick's music and the theme of the song is very much like What Kind Of Fool Am I, the premise being you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.
Ok, I know the theme is a "lost the love of my life" thing, but I must confess, I loved this song so much I had it played at my wedding reception in 1990!!! "You've got me calling your name in my sleep"~I LOVED that line. And the way Rick sounds when he is singing this one....whew.
I have always loved this song! To me, it is the ultimate "break-up-wanna-get-back-together" song. The beginning and ending to this song has a very unique sounding guitar and it sorta makes this song stand out from the rest of the songs on this album because of that. I sometimes want to cry when I hear this song because of the passion and desperation in Rick's voice, especially in the line, "I need you BACK now baby" and he stresses the word "back". It just sounds so fierce and I think that is part of the reason I want to listen to this song over and over. The best thing, for me, about listening to Rick's music for so many years, is that when I was younger (although I loved his music and his songs) I really didn't "get" them then, and now as an adult having been through relationships and now being married, I can "rediscover" them and their true meanings. It is awesome to be able to to re-live all of his older music and understand what he was trying to bring across to us, especially in this song.
