Crazy for you I said I was crazy for you And I was; I was head over heels I don’t think the words are any less true Because time has changed how I feel Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows I used to dream we’d grow old together You knew that we never would Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting That much we both understood Dreams fade away come the dawn Vanish like smoke on the wind And life won’t turn out how you want it to be No matter how hard you pretend Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows I followed my heart down many a road As often as not a dead end Lovers may come and lovers may go But we find our way home in the end Life doesn’t care how you plan it That’s just the way that it goes And love, well you can’t understand it That’s just the way that it flows We followed our hearts down many a road Many a detour, my friend Lovers may come and lovers may go But we find our way home in the end

Peter, Leon, Janice & Bud,
What a great sound! This has the feel of an instant standard / classic record.
Awesome song and arrangement, flawlessly delivered by Janice.
Some great guitar lines and a polished mix really bring it all home.
Enjoyed it immensely!

I am a fan of Janice’s stellar vocals. I am also a fan of Bud’s engineering techniques. I am also a fan of Peter’s complimentary guitar playing and tone. Leon usually puts in a word or two that twists the ear. In this case “capricious” . I don’t think I’ve ever heard that in a song. I enjoyed all that the four of you brought to this great collaboration, Tom

"Love can be fickle, capricious and fleeting" --great lyric. Janice's singing conveys the lyric perfectly. Love the guitar work too.

Peter/Leon/Janice/Bud...
So smoooooth. Everything fits together so nicely - such a flow!
"Life doesn’t care how you plan it
That’s just the way that it goes
And love, well you can’t understand it
That’s just the way that it flows"
A nice write. (And the harmonies on that part are cool!). Excellent melody! (especially at "I used to dream we’d grow old together...You knew that we never would")
The guitars sound terrific. Love the drum sound. The bass is buttery.
And, of course, there is that Star vocal! Gorgeous.
Great job on this by all...

To all involved, this track has such a charming inviting vibe to it kind of going back and forth from a pop sound in places then transitioning into country! Great work by all! Thanks, Torrey
