LYRICS:
How can I think I'm standing strong,
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep,
Then break my dreams the way you do?
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
How can you make me fall apart
Then break my fall with loving lies?
It's so easy to break a heart,
It's so easy to close your eyes.
How can you treat me like a child
Yet like a child I yearn from you?
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen,
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known,
I was never crazy on my own:
And now I know that there's a link between the two,
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
#KatieMelua #CallOffTheSearch - เพลง
My dad was 85 and loved Katie.. played 6million bicycles at is funeral..❤
9 million...but i know how he felt. She's a better singer than Adele.
Possibly one of the most underrated artists in my time.
how old are you re
@@iwakuraSanta none of your business.
@@Sarah-mg3gg you important
I'm inclined to agree, Sarah.
And one of most attractive.
❤I'm 76 years young...and still loving this❤
Music has no age John! I felt in love with this song from the very first moment on!!
I'm 60 years and 16 years ago I met a wonderful woman and made a terrible choice. I can never forgive myself for not stay with this woman. We have got contact again and crying many times for the choice I did. Because now I actually realize that she was the right one for me. This song was our song and the feeling for her is still burning in my heart.
Perfect harmonious synergy is a point in time. Most of us only recognize it after it has already gone - and then it gets amplified in our minds.
Frank, I know so well what you mean and how you feel. For me, it was 21 years ago. But keep one thing in mind ..... You couldn't know at that time what you will think and feel afterwards.
For me it's 29 years ago and I've never forgotten her and love her to this day.
I was lucky this happened to me 20 years ago but I found someone 15 years ago and just wanted to let you know somethings can happen more than once. Just keep open.
This story is sad and wonderful at the same time all I can say is keep the desire burning in you , magical things can come from your heart and thoughts 🙌😇
Feeling 62 and acting 45...love you Katie..keep going cause you're brilliant
She is one of the best women in music
If only today's music was half as good as this lady xx
When you're happy you'll enjoy the melody but when you're sad, you'll understand the lyrics
2021 listeners come and join me here..Katie you are just wonderful!
looks empty??
You summon me
You rang, perfect listening for 2021
Lovely song, it nearly broke my heart
I'm a huge fan of Katie's but she sadly hasn't caught on. You just can't figure for the masses.
She has a bone breaking tenderness in her voice, killing me softly with her song. She grabs your heart and makes you cry.
That is an incredible sentence James I just hope it never comes true!
You've summed her up 💯!
Ball breaking jawline too
So true ❤
@@simonf1786 it is true I love this song it makes me cry it gets all the pain away alison❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 2:06
She has the best voice ever.
Hello beautiful damsel
she is insanely beautiful
I'm now 72 and my life this evening came back to me, wonderful.
Peter Treasaden wonderful comment.
I’m 66 & this reminds me of someone in España...
Every. Time. I listen to it & tears...
I had to do what was best for me, but still wish him more love and more happiness.
Peter Treasaden oder
Peter treasaden, what a wonderfull hapening !!!
The beauty of age is you live through so many decades of good music.
She is simply one of the best singers on this planet!!!
The lyrics in this song makes more and more sense, the older you get.
A truely wonderful song and voice.
Right, there's more than One meaning in this wonderful Song. I think this Song Is on true love, that can change your life
YES
Definitely. ❤
Yes, Mike Batt writes the best lyrics
Beyond Beautiful
I love you Katie Melua.. the sweetest voice my ears ever heard .. I never get tired listening your angelic voice..
..you're the love of my ears
Just... Aawwwww 😘
Mike Batt is such an underrated songwriter. Pretty much all of Katie's big hits were written by him, including 'Nine Million Bicycles', 'If I Were a Sailboat' and this one. He also wrote 'Bright Eyes' for Art Garfunkel :)
Mike batt brilliant.
never knew that
What a beautiful woman . Thank you and many blessings
One of the world's best artist who does not get the applause she deserves. Great talent. No frills. Pure talent from the heart. LOVE this lady and her music.
Totally agree, she is amazing. I have 4 albums. She is not revered here in Australia unfortunately. I may have missed some of her music.
Everything is beautiful, she, her voice and the lyrics she sings !!
The Artist Katie is great, but orchestration of the song is spoilt by needless clack, clack, clack of the percussionist in the 2nd section of the song. It was perfect then just spoilt. I always go to another song on TH-cam at that point. It is so annoying.
When I was 7 I knew all the words from this song.
12 years later and this song is still important to me.
❤️
This is possibly the most beautiful, most haunting song I have ever heard.
Who's listening un 2020. To this Great song
That would be me 🙋👍i April 2020 **** lovely singer and song * will always follow her music 🙋🙌👍
martin h Hill - Some great benefits to lockdown
First time I've ever heard her. And I love her already ❤
barcrrt - Sorry Mate She’s already taken. She’s my girlfriend but she doesn’t know it yet🤣
@Malte There is always an idiot. And here he is.
So many years have gone, I still remember this song. Thank you, Katie Melua💛
Heart breaking always.this song one of the classics.4 sure❤
Ketie Melua is brilliant voice of Georgia!
I'm a metalhead in my 40s, always been, this song brings me to tears every time.😂You go, girl!
B'jesus, just look at her, an Angel..
Hey, never EVER lose that child like spirit!
And Katie picked Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" as one of her 14 favourite songs - variety is the spice of life.
I have the same feeling. When I listened first time I was in the office was so difficult to keep my tears))
Lol I just posted a similar comment. People look at me weird when I tell them that us metalheads are the most romantic people on earth. HIM, My Dying Bride, Nightwish, Sirenia, Rata Blanca...
I am so happy that people like Amy MacDonald and Katie Melua is alive on the same earth that I walk on every day. Truly gifts sent from God.
With your thoughts they probably would think the same of you so true
Well said
My thoughts exactly. Amen.
ditto
They're only singers.
Just one of the most beautiful songs of all time. Mike Batt is definitely underrated!!
yes mike batt wrote this songs. also nine million biycles
Yes he also wrote Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel.
@@ebojfmdboojoh4023 Which is also one of the most beautiful songs of all time!!
A beautiful lady with an extraordinary voice nothing cheap just pure talent and class.
What a lovely song, which still sounds fresh today. lovely voice, great melody and so simple. It just works!!!!!
Her voice gets inside your soul and melts your heart. Can't believe she hasn't been discovered as top talent, yet.
I love this song
Hello beautiful damsel
My beautiful wife and I Saw Katie Perform At The Northcote Theatre Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 Thursday 4th April All I can say Is That Katie Was Exquisite Her Music Stage Presence And Great Backing Band… Bellissimo!!!🎤🎸🎹🥁🎼🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Oh Yeah I Cried So Many So Tears Of Blissful Joy!😢❤️❤️❤️❤️
To think we had beautiful music like this in 2003 and yet there's nothing like this in 2020. This will always be favourite of mine thank you Katie Melua ❤️
She is a great artist. Wonderful, amazing music and voice.
This song is flawless.
Took a second listen to this little masterpiece,the lyrics define it a with every expression of love to someone is as unique expression ,every love is unique & this beautiful song expresses it,we when Young didn’t realise how love is so powerful and captivating and how we think we can control it but we can’t.Thank you Katie x
One of my favourite songs of all time perfect music melodies harmonies pure raw emotion and a classy lady with an elegant unique voice xx 2003 still sounds amazing 2022

👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Would be a treat to see them though
Well said.
What a voice
Shame
How can happiness feel so wrong? Beatiful ....Thank you Katie Melua !
Reminds me of my childhood. I'll always love this song and Katie.
I used to watch an old home movie from 2004, and there was a snippet of this song in the recording. Finally found it after 15 years
I love finding a song I've wanted after years it always sounds even better than you remembered 😌
Wonderful song ,sung by a lovely lady,just sublime.I have always loved Katie
Stunning. That's all need said.
So beautiful, so haunting, such poetry.
Makes me smile, makes me cry. ❤️
No doubt one of her best songs: very meaningful and harmonious. Katie is a great artist: classic, neat, beautiful, with true feelings: that's really precious music and lyrics
One heaven of a voice!
Remember being sent by my company to UK back in 2003/2004 and hearing it for the first time on British tv. There was an advert for Katie's album on tv. Still love this album after all these years!
ხმა,მუსიკა,შესრულება,ისეთი ღრმა და სულიერია...გმადლობ ძვირფასო😘😍💗💗💓💓💓
I am in love with this woman. Am I crazy? ❤
#metoo ❤
she killed it ¡ humble girl with a huge talent .
Thank you Mike Batt - a genius song!!!
Thank you Katie Melua - for the beautiful performance!!
So sad,yet so soothing.Memories of a lost love at 19.Obsessive-possessive,abusive jealousy.At 66 now,this song touched me from the first day I heard it.Simplicity,yet so powerful.
you have the voice of an angel Katie , this is one of my favourite songs
This song explains exactly what it feels like to be in an emotionally abusive relationship, I can't even sing along without my voice shaking and crying. Very well done
Hannah Bowden I was in an extremely abusive emotional relationship. I know what this means more than most.
I agree - especially as I was 22 at the time! Heard this song in a completely new light today 💪🏻
You miss understand the song
Hannah Bowden God bless, I hope you find happiness 💙
I agree with you completely! But I only realised this after being out of a relationship with a guy with narcisistic personanality disorder. It explains his behaviour and my feelings so well!
How can I think I'm standing strong?
Yet feel the air beneath my feet
How can happiness feel so wrong?
How can misery feel so sweet?
How can you let me watch you sleep?
Then break my dreams the way you do
How can I have got in so deep?
Why did I fall in love with you?
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know
That there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you
How can you make me fall apart?
Then break my fall with loving lies
It's so easy to break a heart
It's so easy to close your eyes
How can you treat me like a child?
Yet like a child I yearn for you
How can anyone feel so wild?
How can anyone feel so blue?
This is the closest thing to crazy
I have ever been
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen
This is the nearest thing to crazy
I have ever known
I was never crazy on my own
And now I know
That there's a link between the two
Being close to craziness, and being close to you
And being close to you
And being close to you ♥
❤❤❤❤❤❤
No doubt one of her best songs: harmony and true feelings.
So rare nowadays
For KATIE MELUA

In the name of all !!
We all say THANK YOU
KATIE MELUA you are so beautiful, so ♥️ful
Thank you for being
♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖♥️💖
Her music, connects to my whole body and mind! Great song.
Hello beautiful damsel
This song saved my life years ago ...thank you-it is not enough ..... you are touching the soul with your music ...
Straight from my heart.
Goh, what a crush I had on you, Katie, when I first saw this video and heard your divine voice on TV. I was moonstruck. We were of similar age but you were everything how a girl of my dreams would sound, act and look like. You are really "one in a billion", so beautiful and so talented.
Bought all the albums, but I my biggest dream was to finally see you live, in my country. For some reason, I never got that lucky, time after time.
When last year I read you'd be playing again in Brussels yesterday, I didn't hesitate for a second and told myself I would even go on my own if needed.
And wow, how glad I am I did!!! After EXACTLY 20 years.....I don't think I ever took my eyes off you during that amazing concert. And I can tell your new album will be another divine piece of work. Just like you are.
That 'crush' I had, went away....it is now just pure love I feel for you, Katie. Out of reach, but never out of sight.
My only next wish would be you'd ever come to my hometown and play at the Ghent Jazz Festival.....it is truly MADE for you and I'm sure you'd enjoy it too!
Thank you....for being an angel....and giving me an unforgettable evening.
Love,
Jonathan
Best Song ever from Katie Melua. Her voice is so wonderful...
Such a lovely mellow song
and shout out to the talented musical artist katie melua
This is a gift! Superb! Pure gold!
Wonderful song. Such emotion and feeling. Feeling twenty two acting 17 I love this woman's voice. Soothing...tranquillizing
Just love this song. Such a beautiful voice.
Tenho 71 anos, acordo com esta voz brilhante, espacial, que linda música que está menina criou, Katie é uma pessoa que faz sonhar mesmo nestes de covid-9, desejo sempre sucesso a este anjo musical. Seja feliz.
She's so underrated. Sadly.
Criminally underrated.
Heard this song this morning on Radio 2 with Ken Bruce and absolutely loved the acoustic version live, thanks Katie 🏴😘
This song never gets old.....Lovely 💞
This is such a beautiful and underrated artist!!
After being happily married for thirty yearsI fell in love with a younger woman , this song will stay with me for ever.
I have the same feeling. Everytime I hear this song I think of a very special woman.
So you left your partner.? Did that youth give what maturity did...not judging with all due respect..has it worked out..
No it did not work out but it changed the whole course of my life
@@tonyhowes2176 in what way if you Don't mind me asking with all respect
A beautyful song. One of the best voices at all.
She is simply fabulous. I have almost all of her music..
Uma balada que me acompanhou num dos períodos mais difíceis da minha vida. Cada palavra ia de encontro a tudo o que sentia na altura: rejeição, desamor, indiferença, infelicidade. E ajudou-me a aguentar todo o sofrimento interior que não podia deixar transparecer, com três filhos pequenos a quem não podia desiludir, de forma nenhuma.
Passaram 20 anos precisamente!
Estão criados, adultos, nas suas vidas. Acompanhei os seus bons e maus momentos. Continuo aqui para o que ainda precisarem, enquanto eu puder.
Obrigada Katy Melua, por esta canção linda, cantada de forma tão sentida, e que por isso chega aos corações de quem precisa! ❤
classic throwback came on at work today and I thought wow haven't heard this in years had to play it
hope everyone has a good day
Unmistakable unique voice Lovely Katie Melua.
The closest thing to crazy, what an example for love which is so fragile, but attracts us over and over. There must be a brilliant stuff including that love. It attracts us and it devides us. Love is such a beautiful matter in our life. Katie Melua sang this song with such a deep and meaningful authority, the closest thing to crazy, what a complexity about the nicest and most celebrated matter in the world. Love is such a heavenly gift, God let us take part with this overnaturale beautiful thing. God bless you.
Bless 💕
💙🙏❤️👐
divides
How can you not LOVE Katie.I sure do and I am 73 years old!!!
77 here.
I'm 83 and I love her songs
Essa música tem umas das melodias mais lindas que existe, voz e arranjo musical espetacular, um sentimento puro de amor, de dor, saudades e de lembranças , aliás lembrar até do que não viveu.... Uma verdadeira obra de arte. ❤
Wonderful Katie........!!!
I totally love this song. Well done Katie I love you xxx

Thanks Mike Batt for this wonderful song. Perfect for Katie.
Ahhh - beautiful song , lovely singer. And so many of us can relate to the words because we've been there..........
Whenever I'm feeling a little down I can just come back to this magical voice and relax.
When this song was first released I was in my first year of university hopeful and full of dreams about my future even had the first album signed in the same city too.
now im 37 and listening to this song with a glass in hand and still wondering if i could marry someone with this song playing in the background. such is reality i guess.
Same here 🤦♀️😂
You are loved
I think I've listened 2 this song about a billion times I think you owe me money Kate

VOICE FITS THE FACE, Sweet and a unique sound.
Lovely song feels so real
Wonderful music... you is a beautiful, Kate... l from Brazil...
Always something special,with this lovely voice.
Absolutely beautiful …. 🎶🎤🥰❤️💞💖💕
This is such a well-composed song! This melody made me hold my breath all through the song - so amazed I was by all the turns and directions it was taking me! Especially on the line: "being close to craziness" - incredible feeling! 💓💓
Probably one of the smoothest voice out there
