Seal - Crazy

Genre : Clip vidéo musical

Année : 1991

Durée : 4,30min

La critique de ClashDoherty :

Issu de son premier album éponyme (Seal, donc) sorti en 1991, Crazy est le premier tube de Seal. Reprise par la suite par divers artistes comme Alanis Morrissette, le groupe de hard rock Talisman, ou Me First And The Gimme Gimmes (groupe de punk-rock), la chanson est un des tubes incontestés et du chanteur, et de la décennie 90.
La chanson démarre par un clavier qui résonne, suivi par de la basse et la voix profonde et mélodieuse de Seal, chanteur londonien de son vrai nom Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel.

Classique de Seal, devant les pourtant très réussies Kiss From A Rose (de la bande-son de Batman Forever) ou ses récentes reprises soul, Crazy est un tube pop-rock qui fut martelé en radio et obtiendra un succès sans précédent.
Je dois dire que je ne suis pas spécialement fan de Seal, même si j'admets qu'il chante vraiment super bien. En revanche, je suis fan de Kiss From A Rose, et de cette chanson-là.

La chanson, entendue dans les films Clockers et Basketball Diaries (dans la série TV Beverly Hills 90210 aussi) est présente ici dans son clip original de 1991, montrant plusieurs Seal, sur fond blanc, interpréter, cote à cote, la chanson.
Pardon pour la piètre qualité visuelle du clip... De quoi parle la chanson, au fait ? De notre monde qui va mal, qui plonge dans la folie.
Personne ne survivra, à moins de devenir fou, nous dit le refrain, le mythique refrain. Chanson toujours d'actualité, plus que jamais, même.

Note : 19/20

In a church,by the face,
He talks about the people going under.
Only child know...
A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip.
But we're never gonna survive, unless...
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive, unless...
We are a little...
Cray...cray...cray...
...Crazy yellow people walking through my head.
One of them's got a gun, to shoot the other one.
And yet together they were friends at school
Ohh, get it, get it, get it, get it no no!
If all were there when we first took the pill,
Then maybe, then maybe, then maybe, then maybe...
Miracles will happen as we speak.
But we're never gonna survive unless...
We get a little crazy.
No we're never gonna survive unless...
We are a little...
Crazy...
No no, never survive, unless we get a little... bit...
Oh, a little bit...
Oh, a little bit...
Oh...
Oh...
Amanda decides to go along after seventeen years...
Oh darlin...
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
Crazy...
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly,
Ain't that crazy?
Oh babe... Oh darlin...
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy... Isn't that crazy... Isn't that crazy...
Ohh...
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little... crazy..
But we're never gonna survive unless, we get a little crazy.. crazy..
No we're never gonna to survive unless, we are a little.. crazy..
No no, never survive unless, we get a little bit...
And then you see things
The size
Of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Someday...
Only child know....
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Someday...
Someway...
Someday...
Someway...
Someday...
Someway...
Someday...
