Close To You

The Doors

Ah, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know if you realize it,
But tonight you're in for a special treat.
No, no, no, not that, not that!
You only get that treat on full moons.
Besides, I know there's a lot of young people here,
And I would want anybody to

Last time it happened, grown men where weeping.
Policemen where turning in their badges.
Oh, I get, I get, everyone was intimidated tonight by all the security precautions, oh.
Well, just remember their motto is «protect and serve?
I want to get

Close to you baby like black on white,
Close to you baby like the coldest of ice,
Close to you baby like a Siamese twin,
Close to you baby like I'm feeling all right.

I want to get
Close to you baby,
Well, close to you baby,
Close to you baby,
I don't know what to say or do.

I want to get
Close to you baby like the sight of your eye?
Close to you baby like the heat is to fire,
Close to you baby close as I can get,
Close to you baby like water is wet.

I want to get
Close to you baby.
I said close to you baby.
Close to you baby.
Don't know what to say or do.

I want to get
Close to you till I'm feeling all right,
Close to you gonna love you all night,
Close to you in New York City,
I love you so much, woman, you know it's a pity.

I want to get
Close to you baby.
I said close to you baby.
Close to you baby.
Don't know what to say or do.

Well

I want to closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
I want to close to you babe
That I don't know what to say or do.

Well, closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
Closer and closer babe
I want to close to you babe
Oh babe! We love you!
And you make me feel all right
Make me feel all right
Make Robbie feel all right
And you make John feel all right
And make Jim feel all right
And we want to love you so much to you
I don't know what to say or do

Alright

    Ray used to sing it at live shows, that's why it doesn't sound like Jim

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
