Her playing attracted the attention of bass player Ray Brown, who brought her into touch with influential teachers and producers. At the age of seventeen, she won a scholarship from the Vancouver Jazz Festival to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. After three terms she moved to Los Angeles to study with Jimmy Rowles, with whom she also began to sing. In 1990, Krall relocated to New York. She is married to British musician Elvis Costello.
Crazy
Diana Krall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm crazy crazy for feeling so blue
I knew that you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then some day you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wondering what in the world did I do
I'm crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
And I'm crazy for loving you
I'm crazy for thinking
that my love could hold you because the singer realizes that no one's love can hold another person forever. Despite this knowledge, the singer still tries to love this person as much as they can. The singer is aware of the inevitable end to their relationship but still chooses to love.
The lyrics also touch on the themes of loneliness and feeling blue. The singer feels isolated and sad because they feel like they're the only one experiencing the pain of heartbreak. The line "I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so lonely" emphasizes this feeling of isolation. The singer also questions themselves, wondering what they did wrong to deserve this heartbreak. This shows a bit of self-doubt and an attempt to rationalize why the relationship ended.
Overall, the song "Crazy" speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and the feelings that come with it - loneliness, sadness, and the confusion that follows.
