Crazy

A tremendous cover by LaMontagne‘s of the Gnarls Barkley song. How did I ever miss this from 2008?

I remember when
I remember I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you’re out there
Without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn’t because I didn’t know enough
I just knew too much

Mmm!
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that’s my only advice

Come on now, who do you
Who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you’re in control?

Well,
I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
I think you’re crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I wanna be like them

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it’s no coincidence I’ve come
And I can die when I’m done

But maybe I’m crazy
Maybe you’re crazy
Maybe we’re crazy
Probably

Beg Steal or Borrow

There’s no video in that there below thingy but I like it just fine with only the new single that plays from Ray LaMontagne’s forthcoming self-produced album, God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise, being released, well, like it says, August 17:

So your home town’s bringing you down
Are you drowning in the small talk
and the chatter?

Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done
Punching the time and climbing life’s long ladder?

You’ve been howling at the moon like a slack jawed fool
And breaking every rule they can throw on
But one of these days it’s gonna be right soon
You’ll find your legs and go and stay gone

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg steal you borrow
You beg you steal you borrow

Well all the friends that you knew in school
They used to be so cool now they just bore you

Well look at them now, already pulling the plow
So quick to take to grain like some old mule

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg steal you borrow
You beg you steal you borrow

Dreaming of the day
You’re gonna pack your bags
Put the miles away
Oh, just grab your girl and go
Where no one knows you
What will all the old folks say?

So the home town’s bringing you down
Are you drowning in the small talk and the chatter?
Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done
Punching the time and climbing life’s long ladder?

Young man full of big plans and thinking about tomorrow
Young man gonna make a stand
You beg steal you borrow
You beg you steal you borrow
