KevinAKent Perspective on Everybody Loves Crazy Til Crazy Loves You Back

Pure Pop, you can dance to it.

I started performing live at about 17 when I started college as a music major. First on Flute, then Piano, meanwhile I was playing in rock bands as a drummer.

Please Mr. Postman single by the Beatles. Then I saw the Beatles in 1965. I was hooked on Pop music from then on. My father worked at a conservative radio station in LA, he used to bring home all the promo records of the sixties. Nice timing eh?

I had a lot of relationships before I got married. And too many of them were just crazy. I was always a little crazy but wham! some of these girls I dated were so much crazier than me. When a friend said the phrase at dinner, "everyone loves crazy till crazy loves you back" I have to admit I opened my notes and wrote it down. The next morning I started on the lyrics and the song. I love this stuff.

I've been writing music since the 1970s. I play piano, flute, sax, drums, and a variety of synthesizers. My favorite styles are Pop, R/B and Reggae. But I love most music including classical and jazz, even country pop and rock style.

I love painting and dancing, but I cannot do both well. Respect. When studying Music History in College, I realized that music was always behind the sequence of inspiration for art and music.

Inspiration and Perspiration are directly related, one does not exist without the other unless you live in a very cold climate.

Creativity and Godliness are so closely tied. I have always been a creator. Without doing something creative in the course of a day, I'm not as happy. Here's a song about being happy:

This guy loves Pop Music, great melodies, syncopation, cool spatially ambient mixes. Great Pop music across all genres - Just like the 150+ songs in my library.

I'm now concentrating more on my lyrics with positive messages about being inspired, creative, and being happy. I'm spending more time mixing to achieve a greater ambiance in my music using the tools and plugins inside of the Apple program Logic. I also have a new Native Instruments keyboard that syncs up so well with my Native Instruments libraries. I spending energy creating songs in new styles.

I love love, hope, reflection, and happiness. Laughing at life is always in my head. Life is funny.

I was lucky to see and meet many of the world's most important bands, the Beatles, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Tull. Of the modern bands in 2024... You tell me, My music is so wide ranging now, IDK.  You tell me. I'm a pop rocker who loves Motwon and R&B yet I can settle down with an acoustic guitar and a good story to tell.

The infectious melodies, syncopated bass, and accompanying backup tracks should make your ears smile. The lyrics are usually quite crafty and witty making you laugh every few stanzas.

Paul McCartney is the most brilliant and prolific songwriter of the last 100 years.

This month it's this one. "Everybody Loves Crazy, till Crazy Loves You Back"

Song's like this one, make us smile and reflect on whether or not we have any crazy around us in our relationships.

I love music History in Pop and Classical music. I was a music composition major in college and loved it. I had to be able to write in any style and identify, Being a multi-instrumentalist, flute, sax, keyboards, drums and percussion. In my early career. I launched a bunch of breakthrough music technologies including MIDI, the Prophet 5, then on to E-Mu to launch the Drumulator and Emulator, then on to work with Roget Linn launching the Linn 9000 and developing the sound libraries for the LinnDrum, after that I produced a hi-speed MIDI Guitar, the Photon Guitar, I sold that company to Gibson, I closed my music instrument marketing career being the President of Filmsonix, Apple's VAR in Hollywood at the Record Plant recording studios.

I have picked out song titles at dinner conversations like this one: Everyone loves Crazy until Crazy Loves You Back. That happened in Little Italy. A friend just referenced it, so I quickly wrote it down. Songs always start with a phrase or a title, so I'm always alert for a great title.

Happy, reflection, some joy mixed in with elation. Grooving and dancing when appropriate.

All Impressionistic art. I'm also fond of Roman sculptures and Cathedrals.

I would love to make as many people happy as possible. Sometimes through reflection in my words, sometimes by the nature of the lyrics.

I need to create to be happy. It's not a drive but an obsession. I like to write every day. I love seeing the reaction to people when they don't expect that song to be from me.

Were in a streaming world, so I guess a million streams on one of my songs would be a real measure of success.

I love the title and worked within that framework. I have known a few crazy girlfriends a long time ago. But I think the idea of dealing with a relationship that was once fun and crazy until it gets out of hand is a common thread. Had to write this one.

I always start with a song title, followed by the lyrics that get massaged as I work the song. Especially, on the chorus. I love the little echoey background riffs so I'm always tweaking those. I spend a lot of time in Logic missing and editing tracks. I learned many years ago to do the work, then let it rest for a night. The next day with fresh ears I listen first on headphones then on speakers really quiet, then loud!!!

Logic, Native Instruments a good MIDI keyboard. These days I use all USB microphones for simplicity, you can model any microphone you want in Logic with a plugin.

I have a 7 foot grand piano that I love, but I do most of my work these days inside the computer mixing and editing the stems of my tracks.

I love my sound libraries and have used everything from Wind and waves to doorbells and car doors. I like natural ambiance sound FX.

Inspired, creative and versatile.

I discover song titles, images, and lyric ideas anywhere and everywhere. Recently at a dinner party, walking in Balnoa park, walking the dog and of course dreams.

The Beatles, Coltrane and Bach.
