Country music star Eric Church continues to share new music with fans, as “Crazyland” marks the latest song released from the marathon writing and recording session the singer-songwriter conducted earlier this year. Written by Church together with Luke Laird and Michael Heeney, the mournful song personifies the emotions that come with love lost and finds them all drowning their sorrows together in Crazyland.

“Crazyland” Lyric Video
As he recently shared, Eric actually dreamed the song’s chorus and wrote the verses to accompany it upon waking up – a feat he credits to the creative groove he got into as a result of the nearly month-long session in rural North Carolina where he wrote and recorded a song from start to finish each day.
“As a songwriter you always have that moment when a song is born and then you have two months or three months before you get in the studio and you bring that thing to life. And I just thought that the feeling and the experience of that is something that we underestimate,” he explained to his label, UMG Nashville. “So I wanted to, this time, strip all of that down and when the song is born, whatever those things are in the atmosphere that make it turn into something magical, I wanted to try to grab that.”
Thus far, fans have gotten a glimpse into the project that resulted via defiant lead single “Stick That In Your Country Song” as well as follow up “Bad Mother Trucker.” Church has also shared previews of unreleased music with recent performances on ACM Presents: Our Country (“Never Break Heart”), Stagecouch (“Jenny”) and in a defiant spoken-word recording (“Through My Ray Bans”).

“Crazyland” Lyrics
Let me take your hat friend
Tell me what’s the matter
‘Round here folks call me the mad hatter
That’s Sad in the corner with his heart on his sleeve
Talking to Regret who’s never gonna leave
Over there playing pool is Fool and Lost
And tending bar tonight that’s All My Fault
We all just hang out and listen to Blues
Sing his songs there’s nothing else to do in
Crazyland
Since you said goodbye
It’s been crazy man
Lunatics, liars and also-rans
Waiting on her leaving to come back again
Here in Crazyland
Talking to yourself is the only plan
Giving up on your last give a damn
Here in Crazyland
Pick you out a stool son
I’ll buy the first round
I’ll tell you how her leaving
Brought the whole house down
No not that one that’s Sorrows
He’s over shaking hands with I Told You So
That’s Out Of His Mind that just walked in
He’s Ole Insane’s new best friend
It’s a whole damn room full of lost whose who’s
And you never know who you’re gonna run into in
Crazyland
Since she said goodbye
It’s been crazy man
Lunatics, liars and also-rans
Waiting on her leaving to come back again
Here in Crazyland
Talking to yourself is the only plan
Giving up on your last give a damn
Here in Crazyland
I didn’t catch your name, friend, sorry ’bout that
Sure nice to meet you, baby, please come back
