Crazy, Crazy Nights

KISS

Woo
Here's a little song for everybody out there

People try to take my soul away
But I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong
That's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud
These are my people and this is my crowd

These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights

Sometimes days are so hard to survive, oh yeah
A million ways to bury you alive, hey
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again
If life is a radio, turn up to ten

These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (ooh)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (come on)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (yeah, woo)

And they try to tell us that we don't belong
But that's alright, we're millions strong
You are my people, you are my crowd
This is our music, we love it loud
Yeah, and nobody's going to change me
'Cause that's who I am

These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (oh yeah)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (whoa)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (yeah, yeah)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (hey)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (yeah)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights (come on)
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights

    The first comment said it's a little cheesy, well it's not any cheasier than Shout it Out Loud, which is played at every show. I don't get why Gene and Paul have completely written off this song (and the album). This was a pretty successful song, so why don't they play it live? As for what the song's about, it's most likely about standing up for yourself.

    This song is about loving the kind of music that you like and not caring about what other people think about it. Sometimes people try to criticize your tastes ("They try to tell us we don't belong") for various reasons (in this case, heavy, glamorized rock). Back then, KISS was probably criticized for their over-theatricality and heavy music and labelled by some people as meaningless garbage. But KISS ignored them ("I don't hear the rap that they all say") because they had a strong fan base and were clearly doing something right. In this song, KISS doesn't care about the critics because they only care about the people who like them, and if people don't like them, well then they don't have to listen to them. ("You are my people, you are my crowd, this is our music, we love it loud") And perhaps the biggest message that they're trying to get across is that this is who they are, and their tastes are their tastes and won't change, so either jump on board or just leave it alone. ("Yeah, and nobody's gonna change me, 'cause that's who I am ") In short, this song's about not caring about what other people think of your tastes because that's you are and you won't change for them.

Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive. She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started. There is a huge difference between a singer who simply belts out a song that is on a page in front of them, and someone who can convey an entire experience with their voice. Telling not just a story with words, but taking you inside it and making you feel like you are there, with their interpretation.

Mad Hatter
Avenged Sevenfold
Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
