Crazy People from What's Trending by Leo Sidran

“Crazy People” Much like what happened with “When The Mask Comes Off”, the phrase “crazy people make people crazy” just kind of fell out of my mouth during a conversation with a friend, and I realized that it would need to be written as a song.

On social media, in political discourse, and even among friends and family, I have felt an ever increasing division in people’s realities or truths. Sometimes I feel like I’m living on an entirely different planet from others around me and I wonder “am I crazy?”

Trumpeter Jon Lampley is featured on the track, delivering a dose of what he refers to as “unnecessarily soulful melodies”; Max Darmon, who plays in my Groovy French Band™ is featured on bass, and Joy Dragland on backing vocals.

Lyrics

It’s in all my head lying in my bed
Thinking what she said
It’s already gone hazy

There’s something wrong with me honestly
I swear it happened differently
It’s enough to go crazy

I never was the one to come undone
But she’s under my skin and it slays me
When the gas light is lit just forget that shit
Remember crazy people make people crazy
Crazy people make people crazy

I just second guess it’s a mess
Try my best, but
Every time she just plays me

Paging doctor Freud I can’t avoid
Thinking that I’m paranoid
It’s enough to go crazy

I never was the one to come undone
But she’s under my skin and it slays me
When the gas light is lit just forget that shit
Remember crazy people make people crazy
Crazy people make people crazy

All this questioning and striving
Is driving me up the wall until I fall and break
Don’t you make the same mistake
And go crazy

I never was the one to come undone
But she’s under my skin and it slays me
When the gas light is lit just forget that shit
Remember crazy people make people crazy
Crazy people make people crazy
