about

One of the saddest love songs ever written, penned by Willie Nelson and made famous by Patsy Cline. Here, reimagined in a framework of glitching memories.

This is a cover that was originally recorded singing directly into the harp of an upright piano in Omaha, NE. The ghostly ethereal reverb was haunting and we decided to lean into the creepy.

lyrics

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
And I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?
Oh, Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you

about

Ringdown Portland, Oregon

Ringdown's music is like calling your first love on a rotary telephone, percussively tearing out the hammers from a 1924 vintage upright, and flinging each of them into space while you wait for every heartache you've ever felt to quietly return.
