Story behind the song
Soundwise this track is Classic rock tinged with a middle eastern flavor....and plenty of attitude. Comparisons can be made to linked it to Ozzy Osbourne singing for Led Zeppelin or some sleazy rock outfit.
"DIRTY WATER 2: GOING CRAZY" Music: James Stonehouse Lyrics/Concept: Richard "Breakfree" Anderson Produced, Engineered by Stonefree Engineered and Mastered by James Stonehouse Recorded at Hampstertronix Studios on 3rd July 2004 ©Jimstone Music/Breakfree Music/Stonefree Music 2004
Lead and Backing Vocals: Richard "Breakfree" Anderson Guitars, Bass, Drums & Keyboards: James Stonehouse
From the upcoming collection: Stonefree - The Resurrection Concept based upon the original music of James Stonehouse (Dirty War 2: The Twilight)
Richard tells us a bit about how "Dirty Water 2: Going Crazy" came about:
James had written some really cool instrumentals for a friends game that was being looked at for distribution. Unfortunately his music wasn't taken onboard for the game (which is a real shame because he did a great job with the music !) Anyway i was quite taken with "Dirty War 2" and gave it some lyrics....the title of the song changed when I misheard when James had said what its original name was over the phone.....anyway it turned out to be a not too shabby demo at least.

I am a cynic to the truth
Where theres reasons you will never find
What you lookin' for ?
You might lose your mind
On the edge and going crazy
Are you gonna lose your nerve ?
Looking for an answer
But you're never gonna find it here
Looks like this love is gonna bring you suicide
I'm sorry but I don't care
I don't give a damn
I can't care at all
Curse this injustice
As it gives you nothing but pain
Bless those damned children
Who are left to wonder why again
On the edge and going crazy
Are you gonna lose your nerve ?
Looking for an answer
But you're never gonna find it here
As I see it now
The journey onfolds
But it hasn't been kind
Somehow I doubt it will be
What doesn't cause thought
It might just kill me
On the edge and going crazy
On the edge and going crazy
