Trivia:

Fans who took to Katie because of "Closest Thing To Crazy" might have thought she'd gone crazy and turned into an alien when they heard this song. But it is a gorgeous little gem of a song, catchy yet poignant. I've yet to come across an explanation of the meaning but I've discussed it with my imaginary cat and we are close to formulating a theory (I'm assuming Katie hasn't actually captured a miniscule visitor from another world.)
The phrase "who are you my tiny alien" is delivered in such a way it sounds like a nod to the iconic musical sequence from "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind".

Producer William Orbit plays kalimba (African thumb piano) on this track. Yeah, that is true trivia.
