Love Like Crazy

I know the song isn't even close to being a new release but I feel like I have to talk about it anyway. Love Like Crazy is a song by Lee Brice and was pretty much my favorite song this summer. It played every single day whenever I was in the car and I fell in love with it. My friends and I decided that it was our summer song due to the fact that it played every time we were on the way to the beach, and on the way back.

The song starts with talking about a man who fell in love at seventeen despite what people said about it not working out. He made it fifty-eight years with the same woman and when he gives advice about how it happened, the chorus of the song, he says, "Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse 'I love you'. Go to work, do your best, don't outsmart your common sense. Never let your prayin' knees get lazy... and love like crazy." The song goes on to speak about a man who created computers despite what people said about them never taking off. He goes on to sell his "one man shop to Microsoft, and they paid like crazy." Asking how he did it, he breaks into the chorus of the song again.

The point of the song is doing what you're passionate about and not listening when people tell you that you can't do it. It's about the little things such as praying, being a good friend, telling the truth, and loving like crazy that can get you so far in life. With these things, you can't go wrong.

The music video for the song is great in its simplicity. Lee Brice singing, with clips of a couple throughout the years shown every so often. It isn't overdone and yet it's not boring either. It's a good video and I enjoy watching it.


This is really the only song I know by Lee Brice at the moment but for others who enjoy it as much as I do, he has a CD out since June 8th that you can check out titled "Love Like Crazy" after this single. Check it out if you haven't already,  and if you have, let me know how it is cause I'm probably gonna check it out soon too :)
