Her musical career started in her family's band the Sally Mountain Show when she was barely five years old. She started learning mandolin at age eight, which was also when she released her first single. She achieved success in the bluegrass genre in the 1970's and 80's, earning the respect of her mostly male peers for her mastery of the progressive chord structures and multi-range, fast paced vocals intrinsic to bluegrass music.
In the 1990's she branched out into mainstream country music but did not enjoy the success anticipated there. With the release of her album "Back Home Again" in 2000, she returned to bluegrass with the goal of expanding both the musical reach and the accessibility of the genre. Since then she has seen her popularity and acceptance rise and has received acclaim from several music-industry groups. The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) accorded her its Female Vocalist of the Year award for the years 2000 - 2005, plus IBMA Entertainer of the Year in 2001. And the Society for Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA) designated her its Entertainer of the Year for 2002 - 2005 inclusive.
Crazy Love
Rhonda Vincent Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by a faded memory
Just when I think I'm over her
This broken heart will mend
I hear her name and I have to cry
The tears come down again
It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwind
Crazy love
Count the stars in a summer sky
That fall without a sound
And then pretend that you can't hear
These teardrops comin' down
It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwind
Crazy love
Tonight I'm gonna break away
Just you wait and see
I'll never be imprisoned by a faded memory
It happens all the time, this crazy love of mine
Wraps around my heart, refusing to unwind
Crazy love
Tonight I'm gonna break away
The lyrics of Rhonda Vincent's song Crazy Love depicts a tale of heartbreak and moving on. The first verse refers to the singer finally deciding to let go of a past love, and breaking free from the shackles of a faded memory that once held them down. Despite their best efforts to move on, the second verse reveals that they still experience moments where they are overcome with emotion at the mere mention of their ex-lover's name, and tears come rushing down once again. The chorus repeats the notion that this kind of love is all-consuming and impossible to shake off completely, hence the term "crazy love."
