Gnarls Barkley- - - " Crazy " ( H Q )

Recorded Live @ the Basement Studio "Crazy" is the first single from Gnarls Barkley, a musical collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo, and is taken from their 2006 debut album St. Elsewhere. It became a top ten hit throughout Europe, North America and Australia, in the first half of 2006, reaching number one of the single charts in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Canada, New Zealand and other countries.
"Crazy"
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In 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 [radio version]
probably [album version]
And I hope that 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 your 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 want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
Uh, uh www.gnarlsbarkl...

I missed out on listening to this heavenly rendition by a performer par excellent. Didnt even hear about him till 2023. My loss.

[@totalbliss1]

Fucking genius. Absolutely perfect with no flaws whatsoever. This subdued version is even better than the original. I wish they made this available in an album or to download in HQ. Cee-Lo is amazingly gifted.

This guy is frikin' amazing. He has one of the best singing voices I have ever heard.

This version raised the hair on the back of my neck. And moved me to tears. Wow. ❤

He slowed the tune down and changed the affect. But what the hell. I'm a big boy now and can take care of myself. Thank you very much...

Oh, my GOODNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. This may be the best version YET. Oh, shitz, I'm soooooooooooo high with joy and no, no, no. This is just loving LIFE and appreciating the simple things like this wonderful asz song. I love my CRAZY asz and this song is sooooooooooooooo FORVER in my favorites list. Hmmmph, GOD is SO GOOD to ME for providing me with simple pleasures like this. Absorbing it all ~~ Bless Your Soul and I Pray that you are so Fine with our life and circumstances. I'm here if you need me. oh, oh, oh oh MY

[@justinviolette4090]

Everything that comes out of this mans mouth is pure blues power like a musical fus to dah...

[@cesval7461]

This Is The Best Version,!! Hands Down,!!

[@LeoRikimaru]

There are some people in this world who you look at and think "if I had the training, the years of work, the time... yeah I might be able to match that." Cee Lo isn't one of those people. Hes a true blue siren, what comes out of his mouth is an unnatural melody that grips your very foundations and causes them to forfeit. In a purely poetic but very real sense the man speaks to your soul and with a haunting whisper could plunge it into silence... but never rest.

[@Your_Conscience.]

his voice is incredible. its like a one of a kind instrument

[@mariaassunta6202]

Bravissimo sei grande. Buongiorno..Super bravo. Sono bellissimi i tuoi brani!!!

[@noblenessdee6151]

The Voice . He owns the song.

[@brianbrianbrianavant]

This is a great example of what the human spirit is capable of, growth. If ya don't know Cee Lo was not always a choir boy. We have the choice to learn and grow, or stay stagnant. Ive been a fan since the days of dungeon family (the roots of Outkast). And I have grown as well,Thank you Cee Lo. It's not often that music puts a tear in the eye of a grown azz black man. If only the Radio played music like this, possibilities are endless. Time to hit re play again

[@Martinoxley]

So much has been written about this song but there's room in our hearts to say more. Isn't there? It's soul music as it reaches out and touches us. I can hear it echoing around space for ever.

[@Usendme24u]

Talent has no bounds this is Gnarls Barkley...

[@MrClint1957]

[@staylor9501]

Glad you understand it. Now can you enlightened me, please? What's the song about?

[@gerardoromo2547]

Well my friend, I don´t consider myself enlightened, but I think is about the consciousness awakening. When you lose your mind (stop thinking) you find your higher self, and you feel this huge space where you realize that you are not your thoughts or feelings. And everybody can do that, that´s why he says we are all crazy

so please enlighten us. what is the true meaning of the song. if it is not to simply be enjoyed by the public? and please be sure to back up your response with real evidence and not just make it an opinion.

[@microdosrecords]

That letter to Lester Bangs....didn't they get a negative review or something? And it was personal, and this song is a response to it?

[@asilkyer1]

Id like to hear your thoughts too

[@truthwillrulex777]

what's wrong with you braedon thibault? and if yo think all the songs are just for simply being enjoyed by the public, well i cant break that ignorance. plus, i made a comment and i dont have to explain anything about it. chill.

[@Thegangsterzboyy98]

its not ignorance. its called being positive and having an open mind. if you just say thing just to make people feel belittled and otherwise insulted, maybe its best you don't say anything at all. this song is great irregardless of meaning to any one individual. we all have our personal views and opinions. it does not mean we get to replace fact with our own opinion just to make ourselves feel better. i honestly wanted to know what the so called *true meaning* was. music is art and art can be defined by something that creates an emotional response weather it be positive or negative. The more responses the more famous the artwork. *PS: a little question do you believe speaking in and of itself is worth while. weather or not the individual is saying anything worth while listening too?*
