And It is a know “fact” vampires don’t age. I’ll tell you why….cause this proves our protagonist is…a VAMPIRE and he’s turned her too by biting her shoulder. (stealing Rover and ……bed-sheets?) Nay! The main highlights are “Bite that tattoo on your shoulder” and “We ain’t ever getting older”. While I won’t go into the details of how she’s probably a thief too. “So baby, pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover She’s no doubt a stripper “looking pretty in a hotel bar” and he seems to be unable to control his libido. Here, we see our hero met his ex-girlfriend who he hasn’t heard from in 4 years. So clearly, our protagonist is an alcoholic misanthrope who is also a fake-ass “nice guy”. Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them. I drink too much and that’s an issue but I’m okay “Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you But I believe it’s something more….dark and sinister. “Closer” is a millennial romance anthem that celebrates youth and heartbreak. At least, that’s what the official description of the song says. So, I thought I’d take a look at the lyrics and decipher the secrets within this song. A good listen, a catchy beat and tune but nothing impressive.īUT it’s still in the top 10 list of Billboard and managed an incredible 32 consecutive weeks as one of the 10 highest-ranking songs in the U.S. (Trust me, you don’t know manufactured until you listen to K-pop) but this song was NOT special in any way for me.

I do enjoy the blandest, most manufactured songs. And, I don’t mean to come of as a music-hipster who have no respect for “ pop” or something. Just another generic pop song which will undoubtedly be forgotten after being overplayed (and boy was it overplayed). I know we all thought this song would just fade away. It's smooth jazz's misfortune that Simpson never followed this up.DISCLAIMER: My favorite song is “Closer” Three clever interludes, which feature exotic percussion and orchestral flavors, serve to tie the divergent paths into a unified and satisfying direction. His original material (some co-written with Oliver Wendell) ranges from the easy leanings of the breezy title cut to the sweeping romantic turn of the eloquent 'April.' More indicative of Simpson's potential as an urban heavyweight are the fiery, pop meets jazz jam 'Someone Just Like You' and the throbbing 'In Motion,' which blend heavy piano and electric guitar chops with effective and soulful vocal embellishments. He only toured with Janet Jackson for a few months but was inspired enough to open the disc with the infectious, deliciously bouncy theme song 'Because of Love,' which features the tune's vocal harmony hook and several of Simpson's fellow Jackson tourists.

On the simmering heels of Michael White's So Far Away arrived veteran keyboardist Brian Simpson, whose long-term association with some of the hottest icons in R&B and jazz have inspired the dynamic musings of Closer Still, one of the year's silky-smoothest and funkiest piano romps of the year. The adage that many of contemporary music's most inventive and popular artists emerge from the ranks of first call session and touring musicians continues to prove precise, and indie label Noteworthy seemed committed in the mid-90s to making sure listeners didn't forget.
