You’re in there with Phil Spector or somebody and you better nail it! You don’t have four or five takes to do it. They had to nail it, you know what I mean? It’s dope. What people hear-and I’m not trying to say that as if this is something amazing-I mean, all of the music of the ’50s and ’60s, they had to nail that stuff. But I didn’t even think twice-that’s how honest it was. It’s ours, you know what I mean? So, it’s like, wow! I can’t believe I was that, you know, that honest. Now I can repeat it, you know, and it gets echoed by millions. But I didn’t realize it was great, you know? But it just gave me chills to say it. There was something so pleasant about that place, even your emotions have an echo in so much space.’ To say, ‘My heroes had the heart to live the lives I wanna live.’ Or when I say, ‘When I lost my mind,’ that’s almost like when I stopped caring about what people think. Why do we insist? Why do we persist at the pace of a win, lose, or draw?’ Because it’s either one of those three. I could just get so-and-so, the writer of the time or whatever, to write me a song and if it’s a hit, it’s a hit. So, I’m saying that to say this: the song, ‘Crazy,’ is more or less about the idea, ‘Am I just spinning my wheels trying to be an individual?’ Like, ‘Why don’t I just sit in? I could just do something simple. “But there’s also an underbelly that is in opposition against the individual. You had these people who you could celebrate being an idiosyncratic, caricature. Especially the backstory behind it and how there’s always-there was a time in the industry where the individual adult was celebrated. “The song, ‘Crazy,’ does truly equate to a life’s work because everything that I am is invested in that song. Well, and then when I talk about myself, I am not as poetic because I wasn’t so in control, you know? All I can say about myself is that I am very fortunate that I have done some diligence-in one capacity or another-to deserve something so grand as far as a motion, a vibration, a synergy to pass through me,” said Green.
