Some of them have become classics – Lido has notably remixed ‘Often’ by The Weeknd and ‘Latch’ by Disclosure which he did without permission and created a tsunami in the world of EDM, making him known to Skrillex and Diplo who have been singing the Norwegian artist’s praises ever since.
A multitalented artist, musician, producer (for Alt-J, Banks, Chance the Rapper, Cashmere Cat or Halsey), he released his first lauded EP in 2014, I Love You Too, and did a victory lap with two sold-out American tours.
Lido developed his love of the stage very early on, playing in the church orchestra where his father was a pastor. His early experiences made him hungry for experiments, performing in unexpected conditions, as with the Norwegian KORK Orchestra .
His childhood in the church left him with a love of musical orchestration, arrangements and staging. And today, he presents ‘Crazy’, a forward-facing track where samples serve the organic melody of the vocals, where the orchestra, masterfully managed by Lido, is made exclusively of machines, loops and sounds combined to produce a unique blend of exotic atmosphere and electronic surges. Synthetic bass-charged music, cascading arpeggios and electric rhythms with hip-hop and gospel influences, the future is called Lido.
Crazy
Lido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there, without care
Yeah I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
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 wanna be like them
Mmhmm 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
But maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably ooh hmm
The lyrics of Lido's "Crazy" convey a sense of disconnection from society and a questioning of one's own sanity. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about when he "lost [his] mind" and how it was a "pleasant" experience. He notes that even his emotions felt amplified and had an "echo in so much space." This shows that the singer felt a sense of freedom and release when he allowed himself to let go and lose control.
The second verse shifts to reflect the skepticism and distrust the singer has towards society, as he observes that he was "out of touch" not because he lacked knowledge but because he knew too much. He then questions whether this makes him crazy and repeats the refrain several times throughout the song, inviting the listener to consider whether they may also be crazy.
The chorus highlights the juxtaposition of enjoying life but also recognizing the chaos and uncertainty that comes with it. The singer wishes the listener to have a great time but also cautions them to be aware of their choices and actions. The bridge focuses on the singer's admiration of individuals who were brave enough to take risks and stand for what they believed in, even if it meant losing their lives. The singer himself yearns to be like these heroes, and the chorus repeats with an emphasis that perhaps it is not just him who is crazy, but maybe we all are.
Overall, the lyrics of "Crazy" evoke a sense of confusion and questioning, with the singer navigating the boundaries between sanity and insanity, control and chaos, and living life to the fullest while also being aware of the gravity of one's choices.

Wow this is crazy!

In terms of music as an art as well as a form of complex math and science equations, this is just absolutely brilliant "Music"! You have been working on this album for so long and all of us here are fans because we can see that hard work in your that stands out above all the artists in the game right now. You are making it cool for music to be real "music" again. Rap fans, Soul fans, Hip-Hop fans, and Electronic fans can all listen to your music because it so creatively captures what we love from all of those genres and puts them together into something really addicting to listen to.
There's a little bridge you move into around 3:10 where you move the progression in a Major direction that made me literally giggle at how well done the arrangement is.
as well as the section at 2:23
Musically, that is incredible the way the percussion is so broken rhythmically but yet it is still right on beat. That is pure creativity.
This is truly brilliant work Lido and we all are waiting on the edge of our seat every day for more news about this album. I know it is going to be incredible and I hope we hear more from you soon brother. Wonder if you'll ever read this. lol, once again, fantastic work. - Juice

Juice! This is the kind of comment I like to see: thought out and touching on exactly what the commenter finds appealing. Do you have a soundcloud/blog?

Juice! I agree that this song is great but music has always been music, even electronic music, which almost every song made nowadays seems to me.
