Genesis
of "Closer's Not Good Enough"
This song was
originally written on guitar. It was a frustrating song to complete from
an arrangement standpoint because it seemed that the best way to perform
it was as simply as possible.
However, I tried a variety of
grooves, postures, patterns and philosophies before I ended up putting it away on the burner for months.
Truth be told, though, it gnawed at me almost every day.
Then, one day, I played it on
Piano.
That seemed to completely change the landscape. From there, I
married my love for Nellee Hooper's production flair on Bjork music with
my own structural and songwriting style (I think it's fair to say it's
different than Bjork at any rate).
The lyrics for me
really focus on the baggage people bring into a relationship and
how that baggage can eventually spell its downfall. And no matter how hard they hold on to
that baggage, the fact remains the stuff they don't want to admit is
usually so very true:
Men have a fear of loneliness that is almost impossible to surmount and
women have a fear of so many things, it's difficult for them to keep
track. HAHAHA
Seriously, I see the two characters in the song play out their post
relationship reminding themselves of the things that were good and bad
and ultimately clinging to their vanity points. No matter
how hard they try though, the relationship is doomed to failure if they
don't surrender to a new chapter in their life rather than clinging to
old habits.
