Tips and comments
The song crazy was originally composed by the singer and song writer Willie Nelson.
This song was sung by many artists but is known to be sung the best by Patsy Cline.
When I heard the song for the first time, all I could feel was the affection of the composer
towards the song. I thought that this song was something that had a couple of genres
blended together. Today, even the greatest composers’ donnot have such talent to blend
genres like that. Artists of today should listen to this song and try getting an inspiration
from them. They shouldn’t just get up and write a composition, if they work hard enough,
they might be able to write something like the song crazy that would one day be one of
the best songs written in the world.
