From my first hearing of 'closest thing to crazy' i found it a truly deep and soothing song depicting the bitterness that love can bring. Katie melua has a rich and sweet voce that really suits the song.
i think the meaning of this song is how she is yearning for her love and yet although he has left her she still gets a sense of pleasure thinking about him and that is why it is crazy for her to act this way as he does not seem to return her love, therefore she is not acting mature about it....she feels 22 but acts 17 meaning that as a 22 year old she should try to get over him but is acting like a 17 year old. This is shown in one of my favourite lines when she says 'How can you treat me like a child. Yet, like a child, I yearn for you?'
Im not sure if I will like another one of her songs as much as i like this one.
