Closer Now

Sorry I haven't posted in a while- been very busy! ;) However, I have made time to write another song synopsis/review! :)
Closer Now:
Summary/Review: Closer Now (*our blog's namesake*!), like the previous three songs I reviewed, is very different from the normal Keane, perhaps primarily because it is written by Tom Chaplin (who is also known as "Tomsipoms" as well now...refer to previous post!) ;). I think that this experimentation with many different sounds and genres (while not having to create an album around these sort of songs) is one of my favorite parts of Keane's b-sides and older songs. It is interesting to hear the different tones Tom Chaplin is able to produce through the different songs he has written in the past, and I hope that he will be able to contribute songs to their next album. Now, focusing on Closer Now: It has a mellow rock and roll sound and (in my opinion) follows someone who holds being grounded and centered the most important thing in the world. However, he hopes and strongly "believes" (as mentioned in the song) that the person he loves will slowly come to him without noticing it. Tom's vocals are great in it and it really is a great and sweet song that exudes a confidence not usually found in Keane songs.
Lyric Sample: "Believe
You might stumble and come closer now
Make time to be
All this and more for me
Well you're the best so well done you
I won't go on…"
