Crazy On You

Heart's 'Crazy On You' is a song that captures the intensity of love and passion against the backdrop of a tumultuous world. The lyrics, penned by the band's lead members, Ann and Nancy Wilson, reflect a desire to escape the harsh realities of life through the deep connection with a loved one. The song opens with a sense of urgency and a poignant reflection on the state of the world, marked by 'bombs and the devil' and the innocence of children caught in the midst of chaos. This sets a stark contrast between the external world and the internal world of the narrator, who seeks solace in love.

The chorus, 'But go crazy on you, Crazy on you, Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh,' serves as a powerful refrain where the act of 'going crazy' on someone symbolizes a deep, almost reckless abandon into the feelings of love and desire. It's a cathartic release from the pressures and fears of the outside world. The song's bridge, 'Wild man's world is crying in pain, What you gonna do when everybody's insane?' further emphasizes the madness of the world and the search for something pure and stabilizing, which the narrator finds in their love interest.

The imagery used in the song, such as the 'evening breeze touching your skin' and the 'gentle, sweet singing of leaves in the wind,' adds a layer of tenderness and sensuality to the narrative. It contrasts the harshness of reality with the softness of romantic love. The dreamlike sequence where the narrator becomes a willow tree by a stream, singing a song of love, encapsulates the transformative power of love to provide comfort and keep one 'alive with your sweet flowing love.' 'Crazy On You' is thus a testament to the strength of love as a refuge and a source of sanity in a world that often seems to be falling apart.
