A return to form for Katie, this band sees the songstress sailing towards a more beloved lush and organic sound with her trademark strong and inspired personal stories.
Katie has co-written songs with a host of Anzac luminaries including Tim Finn, Don Walker, Sia Furler, Josh Pyke, Tom Shapcott and her fellow ‘Captains’ band mates.
Katie and the band have been berthing a series of underground warehouse gigs around Sydney to test the waters and warm up the tunes live. Stay tuned to Katie’s myspace and facebook for regular updates/new demoes/gig footage etc and for a glimpse of what promises to be an inspired voyage.
“ I haven’t felt this positive about my music since the george days… I feel like I have finally found the right musical partners to make my music with again. I am really inspired and excited about this new record – I can’t wait to make it and tour it.”
Katie Noonan and the Captains are making this record Oct-Nov this year with International Producer/Engineer Nick Didia - with a planned Ep release February 2010 and an April 2010 Album release.
Katie Noonan is an Australian based singer-songwriter. She was the lead vocalist of bands George and Elixir, and has also released a classical/jazz duet album with her mother, soprano Maggie Noonan. See Katie and Maggie Noonan.
Katie released a solo album "Skin" which was recorded during 2006, and debuted in the Australian (ARIA) top 50 album charts at #6. She will be touring Australia with Josh Groban to promote this new album.
Crazy
Katie Noonan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
My heroes had the heart to Lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Possibly
The lyrics of Katie Noonan's "Crazy" are an insightful and introspective expression of someone trying to make sense of their own emotional state. In the song, Noonan recounts a time when she lost touch with reality and felt herself slipping into madness. She describes the sensation of being lost in a place where everything was pleasant and emotions had an echo that reverberated through space. In retrospect, she realizes that she knew too much, which led to her losing touch with reality. However, she questions whether her perception of reality is the same as the norm and wonders what it means to be crazy.
The chorus of the song repeats a rhetorical question, "does that make me crazy?" as Noonan grapples with what it means to be insane. She then implores the listener to take heed of her advice, urging them to consider whether they are really in control of their life. She concludes the song by reflecting on her heroes who lived their lives fearlessly and admits to wanting to join them on this path, even if it means losing her mind in the process.

remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
I recall a time when my mind was lost
There was something so pleasant about that place.
That place had a strong positive effect on me
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
The emotions felt in that place were amplified and echoed back by the environment
And when you're out there
Without care,
Being carefree and out in the open
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Being out of touch, not because of lack of knowledge, but because of overthinking
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly
Questioning whether one's overthinking makes them crazy
And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Wishing someone well, but advising to think carefully
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control
Mocking the idea that anyone is truly in control of their lives
Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me
Acknowledging that everyone has their own crazy side
My heroes had the heart to Lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done
Inspired by heroes who took risks, and recognizing their own desire to do the same
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Possibly
Musing on the shared experience of craziness

This is perfection. Soft... romantic... only a genius could do that.
@chrismackenzie7252
Have had the pleasure of seeing Katie play live regularly for nearly 20 years, from festival and pub gigs with george in the mid 90s to Elixir to more recent solo Recital Centre performances. Probably the purest voice I have ever heard. Always mesmerising.
@narcissus79
