第一次听到这首歌是在2004年下半年买到的《疯狂英语》杂志里。很喜欢。那时的我18岁，听着歌词里的22岁，还在想，再过好几年我才22岁。也听不出什么深的感触来。如今的我，已经30岁了。现在想想，这12年真的是“The Closest Thing to Crazy”。
在这首歌里，她有很多难度很大的唱法。有几句话是一口气唱的，气不够的话也唱不出来，有难度。我觉得这一首歌也因此变得具有魅力。

How can I think I’m standing strong,
我如何能够安之若素
Yet feel the air beneath my feet?
当我置身于高远天际？
How can happiness feel so wrong?
幸福怎能显得这般谬误？
How can misery feel so sweet?
痛苦竟能显得如此甜蜜？
How can you let me watch you sleep,
你怎能让我望着你睡得香甜
Then break my dreams the way you do?
却无法邂逅我的梦寐群星？
How can I have got in so deep?
我怎会如此深陷？
Why did I fall in love with you?
我为何会对你钟情？
This is the closest thing to crazy I have ever been.
这是我最接近于疯狂之举
Feeling twenty-two, acting seventeen.
心如女人，行如少女
This is the nearest thing to crazy I have ever known.
这般最接近于疯狂之事我从未料想过
I was never crazy on my own.
我未曾如此痴迷疯狂过
And now I know that there’s a link between the two.
如今我知道二人之间有这样一条纽带维系
Being close to craziness and being close to you.
不断接近疯狂，接近你
How can you make me fall apart
你怎能害我奄奄一息
Then break my fall with loving lies?
却又救我于甜言蜜语？
It’s so easy to break a heart.
毁灭一颗心于你是多么容易
It’s so easy to close your eyes.
熟视无睹于你又是如此容易
How can you treat me like a child, yet like a child I yearn for you.
你怎能把我看作无知孩童
How can anyone feel so wild?
一个人怎会如此失控？
How can anyone feel so blue?
一个人怎会这般忧郁？

Being close to you.
接近你
Being close to you…..

下面的MV是来自于她在水下钻井进行的演出。那一集有点像个纪录片，那种寂寞，那种安详，我很喜欢。
