Hawk Bjorn’s latest single, We Are A Little Crazy, is a heartfelt reflection on life’s fleeting moments, the joy of exploration, and the necessity of kindness. Released on January 25th, 2025, this song is more than just a musical piece—it’s a philosophy, a way of living that embraces spontaneity, freedom, and appreciation for the simple yet profound experiences life has to offer. Through poetic storytelling and an emotionally rich sound, Hawk Bjorn delivers a track that is as uplifting as it is introspective.
Musically, We Are A Little Crazy is both expansive and intimate. It carries the warmth of a road trip anthem but also the introspective depth of a song meant for quiet reflection. There’s a folk-inspired sincerity to the melody, complemented by soft, yet driving rhythms that evoke the sensation of movement—whether it’s traveling through new cities or simply drifting through the moments of life.
The production, a collaboration that spans continents, adds to the song’s unique character. Grammy-nominated drummer Andy Kravitz recorded his parts in Philadelphia, engineer Winston Hauschild lent his expertise from Bowen Island, BC, while Hawk Bjorn himself wrote and recorded in North Vancouver. This multi-location process mirrors the song’s theme—life as an ever-changing adventure, a collection of experiences shaped by different places and people.
The lyrics of We Are A Little Crazy feel like a personal journal entry turned into a universal message. Lines like:
“Yeah, we – are a little crazy.
To be – in this world so carefree.
So much to see – So many places to be.
And a perfect moment gifted just for me.”
…capture the essence of living in the moment. The song acknowledges the unpredictability of life while encouraging listeners to embrace it fully. It’s about letting go of societal pressures—the “rat race”—and allowing life to unfold naturally, trusting the wind to take us where we’re meant to be.
One of the most touching aspects of the song is how personal it is to Hawk Bjorn. His journey—leaving behind a conventional life in Canada, selling his car, simplifying his possessions—adds an authenticity to the track. When he sings about experiencing new cultures, eating unfamiliar foods, and holding hands with a loved one in distant places, it doesn’t feel like a daydream; it feels like a truth lived and breathed.
What makes We Are A Little Crazy even more special is the way it came together. This wasn’t a traditional recording process—it was an international effort, a fusion of talent across time zones and locations. In many ways, this mirrors the song’s message: life is unpredictable, yet beautiful in its unpredictability. The song itself becomes a testament to the idea that music, like life, is best when it’s spontaneous and open to unexpected collaborations.
Hawk Bjorn’s ability to turn his personal reflections into something universally resonant is what sets him apart. The song’s uplifting nature isn’t just about wanderlust; it’s about finding joy in the present moment, wherever that may be.
We Are A Little Crazy is more than just a song—it’s an invitation. An invitation to slow down, to embrace the unknown, to cherish the people and experiences that shape us. In a world that often demands structure and certainty, Hawk Bjorn offers a different perspective: one of trust, adventure, and kindness.
With its poetic lyrics, heartfelt storytelling, and beautifully crafted sound, this single is bound to resonate with anyone who has ever longed for something more—more experiences, more freedom, more moments of pure, unfiltered happiness.
