about

I wrote this song in the car on the way to the studio. It was September 2012.
We were recording the album at the time and this new song wasn't on the record's tracklist. When I went into the studio and said, well guys, we're recording a new song today, everybody was a little bit surprised. A brand new song? And the rehearsal? I said - I'm not kidding, and rehearsals are necessary for those guys who are learning to play, are you all professionals, or are there any doubts?
I wanted to record this song so badly that my decision was final and irrevocable.
The song was recorded in four hours. It had been waiting to be released from the captivity of the archives for 10 years.On the eve of September 2022, this song got a new lease on life. Loved ones, separated because of the war notwithstanding thousands of miles want to be closer to each other. I want to be closer to you, my sweet and beloved friend. I want to be closer to you, my Sweetheart. Be closer to each other in your prayers, dreams and thoughts and the day of light will come and the darkness will recede. God bless you!

lyrics

I wanna be closer
Closer to you
Yes, I wanna be closer
Closer to you
You're my sweet loving thing
I'd ever loved so true
You're my sweet loving thing
I've ever loved so true

You gotta be closer to me
You wanna be closer
Closer to me
You're my sweet loving thing
I'd ever wanna meet

I wanna be closer
Closer to you
I wanna be closer
Just closer to you
You're my sweet loving thing
I'd ever loved so true

Sweet loving thing
You're my sweet loving thing
Closer, closer to you
