So Close

[johngarrison]

So Close
Nothing personal, nothing you said,
Nothing I found out, nothing I heard
And I see everything inside the room
And I don’t know, and further more, I don’t care
For anything outside
Cause tonight I feel so close to you
And I feel I’m part of you
And there’s nothing that exists outside the room
You can lock the doors and seal the windows too
Cause I feel at one with you

Something untold to you, something I hold
A subdued ecstasy, painted gold
And I know this is exactly what you would like to hear
It’s just not me
Cause tonight I feel too close to you
And I feel I’m losing you
And there’s so much that exists outside the room
You can break the doors and smash the windows through
Cause I feel there’s more for you

So Close and Go are my two favorties! I haven't gotten throught this one without breaking into tears! The lyrics are just so heartbreaking and the music is so pretty. The line "I Feel there's more for you" gets me every time! The vocals are incredible on this one... I don't know how he hits those high notes! His voice is just gorgeous!

I'm in love with this song too... everything is perfect ! ;o)

I can only repeat what's been said above. This song is unbelievably beautiful. The music, the lyric, the vocals... just perfect!

Johnny has too many amazing songs, and it'll take us many albums to get them all to come to life and as he writes more and more the older ones have a tougher hill to climb to make it onto an album.

I'm really glad that "So Close" managed to climb that "tough hill" and finally made it onto the 4th album - after all the trouble it had to go through over the years:

"I wrote this song ten years ago. I recorded it for my 1st record... my 1st band's record... my 2nd band's record... my 1st, 3rd solo record..."

- phew, that's a lot of records... I can hardly keep up with... and I swear I'm sober...

That is a LOT of records! 4th time's the charm! The best things in life often take a lot of work... And just the loveliest song it is! I'm so glad that one finally refused to be left off of a record!
