Katie Melua - The Closest Thing to Crazy (live at a beautiful night in Belfast)

May 2004
A beautiful night in Belfast

[@Raniator]

One of the purest and honest vocals. Never fails to break me and remind me song writers can do both.

[@modernista6056]

Absolutely nailed it mate 👍💯

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Michael Philip Batt, wrote the song. Just in case you didn't already know. Great song writer he was and brilliantly sang by Katie, of course.

[@kalboangel]

WONDERFUL

[@stewartrood3633]

Has to be one of the best love songs ever. Clever words and great singing.

[@leifsixtione]

Have a nice day Katie

[@BOARDMAN16456]

What a voice she has on her . remember the first time I heard that song lying in the nick tuned to radio..AMAZING SINGER.

[@a.i.dimmer4616]

[@kennethscott5210]

Recently!, I felt blessed to be able to purchasing 2 💿 from the beautiful and inspirational Katie 🎸. Its hardly any wonder that the peoples 👸 was touched by this inspirational song..😘 ❤❤❤❤.

[@Robert_Fordin]

It's hard to even explain how beautiful and talented that woman is.

[@essaw]

What a fantastic voice Katie has. I listen to this song very often and it never ceases to cheer me up.

[@darrininverarity4297]

That is so sweet and so true thank you for your kind song.

[@raazs35]

I listened too much american pop music today and i need to come back here to clean up my ears and soul. Thanks Katie !!

[@helenlizzystewart4908]

nicely said

[@arvedludwig3584]

Hehe the American music is mostly written by two or three guys. Plus they all sound the same because people like things they are used to.

[@petereyles5583]

I Absolutely Agree Far Too Much Taylor Made Crap In America Thats For Certain!🥲

[@petereyles5583]

Well I’m Just A Humble Australian Guy But Katie Is The Best Singer Songwriter On This Planet Without Doubt!!!🎤🎤🎹🥁🎼🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mredward1000]

Mike Batt wrote it.

[@mjd4502]

This song can bury itself deep within your soul. Haunting, sad yet very beautiful. Katie Melua is an amazing artist.

[@petereyles5583]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@joeseppejoeseppe677]

For KATIE MELUA 🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞 In the name of all good ♥️s In the name of all !! We all say THANK YOU KATIE MELUA you are so beautiful, so ♥️ful Thank you for being ♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖

[@thomasburmeister3136]

there are only a few musicians, who are better in performing live - Katie is one of them!

[@hitcher1779]

Katie is always good, but put her in front of a massive crowd of loyal fans, and she SHINES ~ a wonderful performance.

[@hardloper070884]

Unforgettable - she is a perfect singer, not try to imitate someone and she is so beautiful and this song is perfect

[@finalsolution6831]

Written by Mike Batt and sung by Katie Melua, made in heaven.

[@modernista6056]

Didn't know he wrote it, wasn't he a writer for lots of groups hits during 1970s/80s ?has someone originally done it before Katie, i don't think her voice could be bettered tbh.

[@finalsolution6831]

@@modernista6056 He wrote Winters tale sung by David Essex and a few more, plus he wrote Bright eyes sung by Art Garfunkel and was the brains behind the pop group the Wombles.

[@prof1982]

He also sings it beautifully .have a listen .

[@derekd1149]

A beautiful lady with the voice of an angel!!!

[@islandman156]

She is absolutely beautiful!

[@WilliamHurst-yu5qu]

If this doesn't bring tears to you then you need to keep listening to this .xx

[@roxyrainbow]

Still one of my very favorite songs in the world.

[@carlosmontilla4369]

After so many years (2008), I found this song again. One day, I was working at the car rental company and moving cars in and out. With such luck, the CD was in, and it started playing that song, and I got it in love immediately. I was passing a very tough moment leaving my whole life back and settling down in Canada with many fears. I was praying one day, and I always had the song around me pushing my strength. Somehow, this song was gone, and I never found the CD; however, that song was in my memories, but I never looked after it. Finally, I found it! Thank you, Katie.

[@susannabonke8552]

Touching.

[@modernista6056]

Never fails to make the hairs on my neck stand up, absolutely perfect wavelength and delivery of a gorgeous tune. ❤️ And Katie is so beautiful too. Mesmerising voice, music really does connect with our very soul a key to the electric connections that power our existence. Ancient tribes do chants, sounds to get in a hypnotic zone, timeless

[@thomasburmeister3136]

I could not describe it better!

[@gailhancocks5207]

I was very fortunate to see this beautiful lady her voice is astonishingly beautiful live ❤

[@bike.build2022]

Another gem from you sung by you and your magical voice

[@MichElle-sd6gj]

Hope this beautiful lady never leaves Britain.

[@katokatka1798]

the most beautiful,touching and sweet voice in the world,love you and I'm proud that you are Georgian

[@mariamoura6556]

[@gyrojomo]

Its not Americans we hate: its America. Americans are always good natured, a bit loud, generous and trustworthy. And then America goes and bombs another poor country. We cant figure how you can be so nice, and then go kill people you dont even know.

[@blimunda21]

How can I think I'm standing strong? Yet feel the air beneath my feet How can happiness feel so wrong? How can misery feel so sweet? How can you let me watch you sleep? Then break my dreams the way you do How can I have got in so deep? Why did I fall in love with you? This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known I was never crazy on my own And now I know That there's a link between the two Being close to craziness, and being close to you How can you make me fall apart? Then break my fall with loving lies It's so easy to break a heart It's so easy to close your eyes How can you treat me like a child? Yet like a child I yearn for you How can anyone feel so wild? How can anyone feel so blue? This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known I was never crazy on my own And now I know That there's a link between the two Being close to craziness, and being close to you And being close to you And being close to you ♥

You sweet angel girl and voice beautiful thank you.

[@tomazstamcar2734]

Beautiful and attractive Katie and the most beautiful love songs. My wish is that the young emotional artist ANGELina Jordan would also sing her songs. Both have very beautiful voices and emotional singing that takes you over. Georgians please check if Katie is protecting herself from injections for this bogus.disease. There has never been a greater threat to humanity than official-sat.anic-pharmacy. It would be a tragedy if she-was.poisoned, as many important musicians have been.

[@Patreides9]

Én pont azt írtam egy fórumon, hogy ez az egyetlen dal tőle, amit már unok kissé. Aztán most rájöttem, hogy azt, ahogyan tíz éve énekelte (ahogy itt is), na azt mégsem unom. :) Mike Batt jó kis dalt rakott össze annak idején, és nem ez volt az egyetlen... De ehhez azért kell a "tizenkilenc éves Katie Melua" faktor.
