After a well-received whistle stop UK tour support slot with Kinks front man Ray Davies, Brookes released his debut single on Helium Records as a solo artist Breathe Me In / In Weeks. Brookes is an accomplished musician and performer with an emerging depth and maturity that increasingly shows in his writing. His finely-crafted songs, immaculate phrasing and beautifully modulated delivery reach easily beneath the skin of his audience. The magical space he creates and the elasticity of his writing and playing have the echoes and jazz arches of giants like John Martyn and Tim Buckley who he includes as his influences along with Scott Matthews, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor and Laura Marling.
Crazy World and You
Sam Brookes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weakness you will never fight
Surrender to my arms your loyal guard
May you never doubt the beauty that you are
I'll change my day if you need me most
Escape from the crowds just to be close now
Out in the countryside where it feels like there's just the
Call my army of desire
Barefoot walking into your fire
You can take these arms of mine
Take these arms of mine
I'll change my day if you need most
Escape from the crowds just to be close now
Out in the countryside where it feels like there's just the
crazy world and you
Out in the countryside
Out in the countryside
Out in the countryside
Out in the countryside
Out in the countryside where it feels like
Out in the countryside where it feels like there's just
Crazy world and you
Where it feels like just the crazy world and you
