Heart - Crazy On You • TopPop

Heart was a very popular group back the 1970s...and they have some interesting Rock Songs... "Crazy On You" is one of those, which I am including in my pre-Noon Hour Music Interlude! Here is a short backgrounder:

Background:
Heart is an American rock band formed in 1970 in Seattle, Washington by Steve Fossen (bass guitar), Roger Fisher (guitar), David Belzer (keyboards), and Jeff Johnson (drums). It evolved from an existing band, White Heart. Since 1973 the vocalists for Heart have been sisters Ann Wilson (lead vocals, flute, guitar) (born June 19, 1950) and Nancy Wilson (vocals, guitar, mandolin) (born March 16, 1954). Over Heart's history, it has had three primary lineups.

Heart first found success when its members moved to Canada, in part to avoid the draft, then later in the United States, and ultimately worldwide. Heart rose to fame in the mid-1970s with music influenced by hard rock and heavy metal, as well as folk music. The band's popularity declined in the early 1980s, but they launched a successful comeback in 1985 which continued into the 1990s, releasing numerous hard-rock songs and ballads. Heart disbanded in 1998, then resumed performing in 2002. In the summer of 2019, Heart ended their 2016 acrimonious break-up by launching their "Love Alive" tour.

To date, Heart has sold over 35 million records worldwide, including over 22.5 million in album sales in the U.S. They have had top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2010s. Heart was ranked number 57 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". In 2006, Ann Wilson was listed as one of the "Top Heavy Metal Vocalists of All Time" by Hit Parader magazine. In 2013, Heart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

LYRICS:

"Crazy On You"

We may still have time
We might still get by
Every time I think about it I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil
And the kids keep coming
No way to breathe easy
No time to be young

But I tell myself that I'm doing alright
There's nothing left to do at night
But go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

My love is the evening breeze touching your skin
The gentle sweet singing of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early light

And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
And my love, the pleasure's mine
Let me go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Wild man's world is crying in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane?
So afraid of one who's so afraid of you
What you gonna do?

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy, crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

Crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you
