1. "This song is about a woman who is in love with someone she never imagined would be her husband or boyfriend, yet she gets more happiness from it than any of her more conventional relationships. >>
This was Melua's first single. She's had a great deal of success in Europe, where her second album Piece By Piece has sold over 2 million copies.
Meluia's songwriting collaborator Mike Batt originally wrote the song 15 years prior to her recording it. The Ukrainan-English singer told The Sun October 23, 2008 that she came across the lyrics and said, 'Oooh, what's this one?' Meluia added: "I could tell it had a timelessness to it and that it was a good song - that's the only thing you can ever really tell."

2. "The Closest Thing to Crazy" is the debut single of Georgia-born singer Katie Melua. It is featured on her hugely successful album, Call Off the Search. The song was written as part of the musical Men Who March Away, and appeared first in 1995 on Mike Batt's album Arabesque.
The single was originally due out in January 2004, but was released a month early in an attempt by Terry Wogan to make it that year’s Christmas number one in the United Kingdom, but it stalled at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart. However, owing to the success of the album reaching number one, the song climbed back into the top 20 during January and February and resulted in Melua's first nomination for the annual Record of the Year prize on ITV1. At the end of 2004, due to its longevity on the UK chart, the song came in at number 77 on the year-end chart, making it the lowest-charting song to finish within the top 100 for that year. "
