about

This song is completely fictional. I was inspired to write something dark after reading the book "Drowning Ruth" by Christina Schwartz. The melody, first verse & the chorus came to me the night I finished reading the book. During the preproduction stage of the recording, I brought the unfinished version to my producer & together we finished writing the song. CrazyJayne is a tragic story about a young girl who can’t live with herself after being sexually assaulted. I think the dark production really captures the essence of Crazy Jayne.

lyrics

Verse 1
have you heard of the girl they call Jayne?
lost her virginity at the age of eighteen
raped by a man they said she knew well
how could he do that to you Jayne?

Chorus
hide away
hide away
hide away
hide away Crazy Jayne
nobody speaks your name
you drove yourself insane Crazy Jayne
Crazy Jayne

Bridge
nobody heard her screaming inside
the memory so painful was eating her alive
the thought of herself raising this child
Crazy Jayne lost her mind

Verse 2
have you heard of the girl they call Jayne?
lived by the water down on Misery Lane
one night the ocean invited her in
how could you do that Jayne?
