A few years later she started her own solo career with the No 1 single "Ain't That Just The Way," which made her famous worldwide. The song is still considered one of the most important dance hits of the 1990s. It was a Top 10 chart hit in every European country and even cracked the Asian market and became a No 1 hit on US Billboard Dance Charts. The single went gold and platinum in several countries.
A couple of more hit singles followed from the debut album "My Side Of Town." The biggest airplay hits from this album are surely "Stranded" (No 1 airplay hit in the UK) and "Someone Loves You Honey." While McNeal enjoys regular success in Sweden, Scandinavia and Austria, she also scored big hits in other countries. Her single "My Side Of Town", for example, went platinum and was a No. 1 hit in New Zealand. She managed to have three Top 10 hit singles in the UK.
Another album followed in 1999 entitled "Whatcha Been Doing" before she took a short break from the music business to give birth to her second son.
She is the mother of two kids: Dean (*1991) and Dallas (*2000). She lives with her husband and manager in Texas, USA but spends a lot of time in Europe to be available for tours, promotion and concerts. Since the late 90's she has released several albums, which were particularly successful in Sweden, Germany and Japan. In October 2004 she posed for the German version of Playboy magazine. She expresses her disapproval for George W. Bush and his policies (especially regarding the Iraq War) very clearly in interviews and is very involved in women's rights.
Her most recent success were the singles "It's Not Easy" (in September 2005), which was released in Sweden only and reached No 3 on the Single Charts, and "Best Of Times" (in February 2006) which reached No 6 on the Swedish Single Charts.
CRAZY LOVE
Lutricia McNeal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's crazy love
I always felt this love was meant to be strong
But deep inside I knew that something was wrong
Oh, baby
I always hoped someday this feeling would change
I didn't wish for love to become strange
No, no
I know it's crazy love but I know that it's true
Know that it's true
I cannot live without you
I know it's crazy love but I know
That this crazy heart won't let you go
I know it's crazy love but it's true
That this world is crazy too
They say the two of us were not meant to be
They just can't understand the things that we see
Oh baby
I know it's true that I would miss you
If you were not by my side I'd be through
And I know
I know it's crazy but I know that it's true
Know that it's true
I cannnot live without you
I know it's crazy love but I know
That this crazy heart won't let you go
I know it's crazy love but it's true
That this world is crazy too
When will my life be the same again
When will this come to an end
When will my heart beat again for you
I don't know why you treat me this way
Refrain:
I know it's crazy love but I know that it's true
Know that it's true
I cannot live without you
I know it's crazy love but I know
That this crazy heart won't let you go
I know it's crazy love but it's true
That this world is crazy too
The lyrics to Lutricia McNeal's song "Crazy Love" express a complicated mix of emotions. The singer acknowledges that the love she shares with her partner is "crazy" - possibly erratic or intense - but also confesses that it is undeniably true. She has always felt that their love was meant to be enduring, but despite this certainty, something has always felt off. Despite hoping that time would heal her doubts, they persist. Still, she cannot imagine living without her partner; her "crazy heart won't let [them] go." The singer recognizes that outsiders do not understand why their partnership is so intense. They have likely received criticism and doubt from others, but she is resolute in her love for this person.
Line by Line Meaning
I know it's crazy love
Despite the fact that this feeling may seem illogical or nonsensical, I acknowledge that it is love
I always felt this love was meant to be strong
From the very beginning, I believed that this love was destined to be powerful and intense
But deep inside I knew that something was wrong
However, even though I felt the strength of our love, I couldn't ignore the feeling that something was not quite right
I always hoped someday this feeling would change
I held onto the hope that one day, our love would evolve and change into something more acceptable or conventional
I didn't wish for love to become strange
I didn't want our love to become too unusual or bizarre for other people to understand or accept
I know it's crazy love but I know that it's true
While I understand that our love may seem unconventional, I am fully aware that it is genuine and valid
I cannot live without you
I need you in my life and cannot imagine living without you
That this crazy heart won't let you go
My heart is deeply enamoured with you and refuses to let you go, even if it may seem irrational
This world is crazy too
In a world that is already so chaotic and unpredictable, it only makes sense that love could also be wonderfully confusing
When will my life be the same again
I'm struggling to see when my life will be back to normal, since everything feels different now that I love you
When will this come to an end
I can't help but wonder if there's an expiration date on our love or if it will continue to be just as crazy and exciting as it is now
When will my heart beat again for you
I'm looking forward to the next time that I see you and can feel the excitement and passion of my heart beating for you all over again
I don't know why you treat me this way
Sometimes I'm confused by your actions towards me, and I can't understand why you do certain things or act a certain way
