Michael Bublé’s introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson’s ears with the sounds of The Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform.
With his grandfather’s assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical review titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn’t long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster during a famous Canadian wedding of Brian Mulroney’s daughter Caroline Mulroney. He later signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records after that encounter.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé’s aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003, and featured jazzy takes on old standards like “Fever” and “The Way You Look Tonight” as well as newer classics like “Moondance” and “How Can You Mend A Broken Heart”.
He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly With Me. In 2005, It’s Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia, and made the top ten of both the UK and US. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. More recently, Michael received a 2010 Grammy Award for 'Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album' for 'Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden.
Crazy
Michael Bublé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy
I'm crazy for feeling so blue
(And I'll come in here)
(Alright, s'all you, Willie)
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry (worry), why do I let myself worry?
Wondering, what in the world did I do? Hm
I'm crazy (I'm crazy) for thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
I knew (and I knew) you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday 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
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for trying, crazy for crying
Crazy for loving you
The lyrics to Michael Bublé's song "Crazy" express the overwhelming emotions of loneliness, heartbreak, and love. It begins with the repetition of "I'm crazy," emphasizing the extent of the singer's feelings. The lines "I'm crazy for feeling so lonely" and "I'm crazy for feeling so blue" highlight the deep sadness and intense longing for companionship.
The singer acknowledges that they knew their love interest would only love them for a limited time before leaving for someone new. This realization intensifies their worry and self-doubt, making them question what they did wrong. The repetition of these lines emphasizes their confusion and desperation.
The chorus reveals the singer's realization that their love alone cannot keep their partner from leaving. They acknowledge the irrationality of thinking that their love could hold onto someone who doesn't reciprocate the same depth of feelings. Despite knowing this, they still try to hold onto the love, causing them to feel more heartbroken and vulnerable.
Ultimately, the lyrics depict a person caught in the emotional turmoil of unrequited love, grappling with the pain of trying to hold onto someone who doesn't feel the same. The combination of longing, self-doubt, and the torment of unreciprocated affection create a sense of madness and emotional chaos throughout the song.

My Mom and Dad sang this song in a booth in Coney Island just prior to my dad being deployed to Pearl Harbor during WWII. Little did they know they broadcast it over the loudspeakers of Coney Island and when they came out there was a crowd clapping. This song brought back so many memories. Thank you both Michael Buble and Willie Nelson♥️🙏🏼♥️
