Description
The latest version of this song can be found here: Crazy Story version 2 with Thoddi.
This is a song about obsession, when all you want is someone to narrate your concrete so you dont slide through the cracks... or float away in pieces. My two favorite parts: Donny McCaslin's head-spinning sax trio in the middle, and the unusual synth countermelody (and harmony) I came up with to bridge together the vocals. (I wanted something to defy harmonic rules and genre style, to create a sense of obsession and craziness without being atonal). It builds in this cool way toward the end. (I pull out all sorts of old synths, so I had a great time.) Kind of a jazz-fusion-acid tune with hip-hop percussion (well, I tried) but maybe because of the lyrics I decided to put it under Alternative. Please let me know if you think it should be in a different category. No loops. (And the bass synth doesnt ever repeat, exactly.) Art is Marquee by my lifelong friend Eric Green.
Donny also plays saxes (soprano sax this time) on Icarus and Icarus II (w/ TEXASFEEL on guitar)

CRAZY STORY
Story.
Tell me a crazy story
to make sense of this day.
Don’t say little glories;
I don’t want to cheat that way.
Just your voice like a sidewalk beneath my feet,
narrate my concrete.
Please.
I want you to write me down.
I want you to read me aloud.
I want you to turn my pages.
Turn me, turn me
into a crazy story.
Turn me crazy. Crazy.
Want me too, on your lips.
Want me too, like breath from your mouth.
Want me too, for song, for praying.
I am yours; come play me crazy.
Tell me a crazy story.
Read me crazy. Crazy.
Prism hours like blades run across my skin,
tower like days too high for scaling.
So far away, your voice is failing.
The words of my life wait and wait and wait like crazy.
Crazy.
Come make me... crazy.
Come make me your crazy story.
Story.
Tell me a crazy story
to make sense of this day.
Don’t say little glories;
I don’t want to cheat that way.
Just your voice like a sidewalk beneath my feet,
narrate my concrete.
Please.
I want you to write me down.
I want you to read me aloud.
I want you to turn my pages.
Turn me, turn me
into a crazy story.
Turn me crazy. Crazy.
Want me too, on your lips.
Want me too, like breath from your mouth.
Want me too, for song, for praying.
I am yours; come play me crazy.
Tell me a crazy story.
Read me crazy. Crazy.
Prism hours like blades run across my skin,
tower like days too high for scaling.
So far away, your voice is failing.
The words of my life wait and wait and wait like crazy.
Crazy.
Come make me... crazy.
Come make me your crazy story.

I like this Tobin,
As always you are a master at your productions..
The bass is excellent as is the sax!
