Daniel Powter released his debut album, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground. Powter has a music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing for France.
Daniel Powter's first piano pop single, "Bad Day," debuted not in his home country of Canada, but rather in Europe in mid-2005. It was chosen by Warner Brothers as a submission for commercial production and was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. Additionally, "Bad Day" is currently being used extensively by American Idol in its fifth season. Powter sang the song live at the end of the penulimate show of that season. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, and made it as high as number three on the overall European airplay chart. It did best in Germany, where it peaked at number one in national airplay, Ireland where it peaked at #1 on the Singles Chart, and in the UK, where it peaked at number two in the singles chart and stayed in the top 10 for 13 weeks. In the United States the song peaked at number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 seven weeks after it was released. In Australia, it peaked at number three. The song reached top five in Canada and is now a top 10 hit at Adult Top 40 radio. It was fifth place in the British Record of the Year 2005.
On July 2, 2005, Powter performed at the Berlin installment of Live 8, a simultaneous group of concerts in nine countries intended to raise awareness of poverty in Africa and put pressure on world leaders for aid.
On April 1, 2006, he was named the best new artist at the Canadian Juno Awards.
In March 2008, a song by Japanese singer Haru featuring Powter, "Find My Way", was released. In September, Powter released his third album, Under the Radar.
Powter also performed piano on tracks for what was scheduled to be Marcy Playground frontman John Wozniak's solo album, Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage, but the album will now be released under the band's name. Powter will still be given credit for his contributions to the album, particularly the album's single "Good Times".

Daniel Powter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind was racing pacing the room
I don't know but I think I fell to pieces
The moment that I first saw you
Now it's true
I thought I could get over it
Brushed you off my shoulder but now
Every day is worse and the hurt is always bringing me down
Help me
'Cause I don't know if I can take it
I'm so tired of trying to fake it
Tell me you know
That I've been crazy all my life
I try to be cool but I want more
Now I'm standing right here at your front door
I need to know
That I've been crazy all my life
Crazy all my life
Well tell me you can help me
I'm nothing but a shell of a man
Baby please the only time I'm right
Is when I am by your side understand?
Can't you see?
Baby it's irrational
Maybe I'm a natural freak
All I know is love can make you stupid
And you are just a song on repeat
Help me
'Cause I don't know if I can take it
I'm so tired of trying to fake it
Tell me you know
That I've been crazy all my life
I try to be cool but I want more
Now I'm standing right here at your front door
I need to know
That I've been crazy all my life
Crazy all my life
My life, my life
Whoa
Maybe you're just a fool like me
And you're feeling crazy too
Maybe we're just two fools you see
Maybe we found we've been crazy all our life
Don't know if I can take it
I'm so tired of trying to fake it
I wanna know
That I've been crazy all my life
I try to be cool but I want more
Now I'm standing right here at your back door
I wanna know If I've been crazy all my life
Crazy all my life
My life, my life
Yeah crazy all my life
Yeah, something's been shaking my mind was racing
Crazy all my life
Dream up all that for
Crazy all my life
I do, baby
Crazy all my life
Hoo hoo
Crazy all my life
Hoo hoo
Crazy all my life
Hoo hoo
Crazy all my life
Hoo hoo
Crazy all my life
The song “Crazy All My Life” by Daniel Powter is a song about falling in love at first sight and how this powerful emotion can turn a person’s life upside down. The lyrics suggest that the singer is both aware of his own irrational behavior but is powerless to stop it. The first stanza describes the overwhelming feeling the singer experiences when he sets his eyes on the person he falls in love with. He feels like he has fallen into pieces and the hurt is always bringing him down. He acknowledges that he is trying to fake it but he doesn't know if he can take it anymore.
The second stanza reinforces the idea that the singer cannot control his emotions without the love interest's help. He needs them to give his life meaning and purpose. He is aware of his irrationality but love can make even natural freaks like him to be stupid. The chorus repeats the theme of the song- the singer has been crazy all his life and needs help. He tries to be cool but wants more- he is standing at the front door trying to get the love interest to help him.
The final stanza introduces the possibility that the love interest may also be feeling crazy and that they may be two fools in love. The song ends on this note, with the singer pleading for help and acknowledging that he has been crazy all his life.

Well something got me shaking
I felt an intense emotional reaction
My mind was racing pacing the room
I couldn't control my thoughts
I don't know but I think I fell to pieces
I was overwhelmed with emotion
The moment that I first saw you
I was immediately attracted to you
Now it's true
I recognize the reality of the situation
I thought I could get over it
I believed I could move on easily
Brushed you off my shoulder but now
I tried to ignore you, but it didn't work
I'm a mess
I am emotionally unstable
Every day is worse and the hurt is always bringing me down
I feel more pain each day and it affects me negatively
Help me
I need assistance
'Cause I don't know if I can take it
I am unsure if I can handle this situation
I'm so tired of trying to fake it
I am exhausted from pretending I am okay
Tell me you know
Assure me that you understand
That I've been crazy all my life
I have always been irrational and emotional
I try to be cool but I want more
I attempt to act calm, but desire a deeper connection
Now I'm standing right here at your front door
I am physically present and seeking your attention
I need to know
I require confirmation
That I've been crazy all my life
I want to understand my own emotional state
Well tell me you can help me
Ask for assistance from the person I am addressing
I'm nothing but a shell of a man
I feel incomplete and empty
Baby please the only time I'm right
I only feel confident when I am with you
Is when I am by your side understand?
Do you comprehend my true emotions?
Can't you see?
Do you not realize?
Baby it's irrational
My behavior is illogical
Maybe I'm a natural freak
Perhaps I am unusual
All I know is love can make you stupid
I understand that love can hinder rational thinking
And you are just a song on repeat
I am continually drawn to you
Maybe you're just a fool like me
Perhaps you feel the same way as I do
And you're feeling crazy too
And you are also emotionally overwhelmed
Maybe we're just two fools you see
We might be foolish for feeling this way
Maybe we found we've been crazy all our life
It is possible that we have always been irrational
I wanna know
I desire to understand
If I've been crazy all my life
If my past behavior has been illogical

My God, how i've missed this type of music.
@user-jp8cm8bz4i
Что такое музыкальный драйв? Это когда тащишься и от мелодии, и от вокала, и от аранжировки, и от энергетики, и от гармонических ходов, и от ритма, и от ,,лаба" инструменталистов👍👍👍👍👌💃💃💃💃
