Closer

I haven't been a big radio listener for a long time, so '90s and '2000s radio-hit bands and songs remain obscure to me unless they've been burned onto a CD for me by a friend or I've had a pre-'90s fascination with the band already. There was a time during the mid to late '90s when I was a canvasser and we'd listen to the radio in the crew car on our way out to turf, taking turns picking stations. This song was in constant rotation on Live-105. I hated it then, but I've slightly warmed to it, for its dramatic flair. I think I was also too vanilla then to "get" the lyrics. The video, however, is just not my thing.
