Close To You – A really wonderful ballad

[Howard]

Well I think you’ve covered it pretty well Jung.
Along with the beautiful guitar lead in, the dulcet tones of the bass sets the mood for this lovely, dreamy ballad about love found and perhaps lost. Almost bitter/sweet, but with a maturity and understanding that ‘nothing ever lasts forever’!

This beautiful, easy listening number is an example of the maturing song writing ability of the Twins. So many great songs on one album must have placed enormous pressure on the MLT while writing their new album. The anticipation of their many fans is probably cumulative from their first album and we now expect something brilliant with each release. Will the next release be their ‘Sergeant Peppers’ moment?

Yep, Close to You is one of my favorites of theirs, too…..along with Still A Friend and Count on Me, In It For Love, Sweet Loraine.  I think I’m pretty much listing all the songs on Orange… Mike.

[Howard]

I think you have pretty well covered all my favourite originals there Mike. I’d have to include ‘Wide, Wide Land’ and ‘Won’t You Listen Now’ from their first album though. And then there is ‘June’ and ‘I Don’t Know Birds’ too, of course!

[Michael Rife]

Hi Howard;

I was pretty much sticking with the songs on Orange…..but if I include the first one, then I agree with your choices and a few more.  There are not many songs I don’t like on either LP. Mike.

A gem indeed… I love it and in agreement with you all of your commentaries on this song????????????????❤️

• I love all of their songs, but this one is special. It takes me back to Highschool. ☺
