about

"I love the manic in your kind of crazy" - the title is an amusing play on the lyric & became the inspiration behind the album sleeve. The song itself is about my mother-in-law who also passed away last year. She suffered from manic depression/bi-polar disorder her whole life, but when she was up she could be one of the funniest people you would ever meet. I prefer to remember her that way.

lyrics

Would you kindly not mind me
I see things untimely
Bring dark clouds and white knights bright lights
Shepherd to the edge of time’s not on my side
I love the manic in your kind of crazy
I’ll hold the line for you slide down the mine with you
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy
Sit back, step on the crack, get out of your tree & pick up the slack
I love the manic in your kind of crazy
I’ll hop the rails with you pick out a cell for two
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy
Stand down, running aground, hand me the rope before we drown
Hopeless, discouraged, I dive with a flourish
I’m constantly craving misbehaving
Over the edge we fall
I love the manic in your kind of crazy
I’ll hold the line for you slide down the mine with you
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy
Sit back, step on the crack, get out of your tree and pick up the slack
I love the manic in your kind of crazy
I’ll hop the rails with you pick out a cell for two
I love the manic in your you’re kind of crazy
Stand down, running aground, hand me the rope before we drown
Save me one more...time’s not on my side
