Amanda was born January 17, 1982… Read Full Bio ↴The Wilkinsons are a country group.
Amanda was born January 17, 1982 in Belleville, Ontario and was raised in Trenton, Ontario. Her passion for singing began early. She recalls being inspired by her dad Steve performing in bands, and his singing to her when she was very young, instilling in her a love of music. As a toddler, Amanda listened to Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline and Etta James and at the age of three, made her first public appearance with her dad at her grandma and grandpa’s 25th anniversary. Amanda and her dad kept singing together. Amanda has recently gone solo and her self-titled debut album has garnered numerous award nominations and critical praise since its release.
Brown-haired, blue-eyed Tyler was born into his musical family on April 30, 1984. He learned to play the guitar and the art of writing songs from his father. When he was 13, Tyler and his family moved to Nashville, Tennessee so that his father could concentrate on songwriting. After only three weeks in Music City, the Wilkinson family signed their first record deal with Giant Records. In addition to all things musical, Tyler loves scuba diving, football and honing his skills as the front man for his rock band, Motion Picture Ending. Even with all the fame, he remains modest; Tyler says he just wants “to do my best at anything I do and not limit myself.”
Born August 18, 1955 in Belleville, Ontario, Steve’s interest in music started when he bought his first guitar at age 13. He grew up loving the music of Hank Williams, Hank Snow and Johnny Cash, as well as The Beatles, Paul Simon and James Taylor. A self taught guitarist and songwriter, he claims that it’s his second love, music, that won his first love -- his wife, Christine. It was because of her support that he found the courage to move the family to Nashville. That move resulted in international number ones, gold albums, Grammy recognition, multiple Canadian awards and a hit CMT television series.
I Go Crazy
The Wilkinsons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Guess you'll be glad to know
That I've learned how
To laugh and smile
Getting over you was slow
Then say old lovers
Can be good friends
But I never thought
I'd never see you again
I go crazy, you know
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know
When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
You say she satisfies your mind
Tells you all of her dreams
I know how much
That means to you
I realize that I was blind
Just when I thought
I was over you
I see your face
And it just ain't true
You know it just ain't true
I go crazy, you know
When I look in your eyes
I still go crazy
No my heart just can't hide
That old feeling inside
Way deep down inside
Oh baby
You know
When I look in your eyes
I go crazy
The Wilkinsons' song "I Go Crazy" tells the story of a past lover reconnecting with their former flame after a significant amount of time has passed. The first verse reveals that the person speaking (presumably a woman) has learned to move on from the relationship and can now "laugh and smile" again, but seeing her old flame brings back feelings that she thought were gone. The chorus emphasizes this, with her admitting that looking into his eyes still drives her "crazy" and that she still feels the same old feelings way "deep down inside".
The second verse adds a twist to the story by revealing that the former partner has moved on with someone new. The singer acknowledges this and understands how important it must be to her old flame, but still cannot deny her own feelings when she sees him. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the fact that these old feelings are still strong, even in the face of new relationships and time passed.
Overall, the song taps into the universal feeling of a love that never truly fades away, even when we think we have moved past it. Despite the passage of time and the beginning of new relationships, some connections remain and the intensity of that old love can still have a powerful impact on us.

Whenever I see you, the intense feelings of love and longing that I thought were gone resurface, and I can't control them. My heart still beats for you, and it's a feeling that's buried deep within my soul.
