Alex Clare - Too Close 

Who else randomly thought about this song.

That feeling when you can't remember the name of a song for 3 years then all of a sudden it pops up on my Journey down the rabbit hole of youtube music.

This song still hits me 11 years later.

I was watching Taken 2 with Liam neesian and this song came on the ending credits, I hadn’t heard this song in like a decade and completely forget it existed. What a criminally underrated song

2011: great song 2012: great song 2013: great song 2014: great song 2015: great song 2016: great song 2017: great song 2018: great song 2019: great song This song will never die and will always be great

My mom and I used to listen and sing to this in the car way back in like 2012 - 2015, it was basically our song. It was the first song that I ever learnt how to sing. My mom passed away in 2016, and ever since I have been trying to remember the title/lyrics of this so I could find it. Over five years later, and today I randomly clicked on this in recommended and the memories just flooded back. On top of that, this is just six days after her birthday. Rest in peace Mom, I miss you. edit: Thanks for the kind words, internet strangers. I hope you're all fine as well!

Damn it. It's 10 years since this came out and his voice was savage and it's a shame that there wasn't much more in the way of material from him.

Who is still here in 2024?😅

Still listening in 2021

This voice, this man ,this music...awesome

June 2020, still one of the Best Songs i've ever heard

You can't imagine but this song caught me all hooked to it the whole night. I had to listen to the audio and the video. The craving never ends....still worth listening to in Oct. 2023

If you are still listening to this in 2019, we officially prove your superior taste in music

After hours of searching for this song not remembering the title or artist I now consider myself a professional detective

For all those who are commenting About how late they are, good songs are never too old.

Man this song was booming when it first came out, I still love it after all these years, it brings great memories

Probably one of the most underrated songs of this decade!! Such a good song

BANGER !! WHO IN 2024??

This is such a "it's not you, it's me" song.

This is a song that just pops into my mind randomly all the time lol

This brings back memories

I'll never forget how i felt the first time I heard that bass drop. How is this song already 12 years old tho? Wow!

I keep forgetting how f*cking cool this song is. This was way ahead of its time

My wife was pregnant when we heard this song first time. Now, our daughter is 6 and she sings this song... :-) Thank you, Alex and your team!

I don't care what anyone says, this is the best friendzone song I've ever heard

2024 anyone ?

Truly one of the top songs of the 2010s. Still great today.

I hate that he is so underrated DAMN HE IS SO GOOD

Years looking for this song and finally, here I'm, crying over this song again.

The beat is fire so satisfying

this the male equivalent to rolling the deep video with adele

Sascha Haut wieder zu heftige Songs raus da muss ich mich glatt anschnallen

The world needs more songs like this

Every so often this song pops into my head, I come over to check it out on RU-vid and realize I'm not the only one who experiences this. What a tune.

I'll be here in 2040, reliving my nostalgia childhood 🙋🏽‍♂️ Bring back the great music era

Most underrated song of all time

It's Been 4 Years And iStill Remember Scouring The Internet For This Song Because Of A Windows Commercial

0:01 is my favorite part!

5 years old but still gold

January 2019 still a fucking good song 2022 still rocking it!

You're an og listener when they used to play this in ads.

The bass this song carries is just simply amazing. It's brilliant and portraits so much emotion. This song has saved me from suicide. I sang and sang and sang this song so much, thru tears and agony and now I fully understand Alex's meaning to this song. Still listening in 2024 ❤

the corilation between the sword fight and the lyrics is simple. . the fighter with the red tings is the side of his heart that wants to leave his current partner. The black strings is fighting to stay in the relationship though hard times. in the end the red stings win so he feels he's "too close to love you so he'll be on his way."

Back when I was obsessed with dubstep. I just seen the ending scene of Taken 2 and this song was playing and the memories just flooded. Love this song.

This song is so good that someone should make a song about this song.

Still as Amazing a song when it came out. Love his voice and beat of the song.

Lyrics You know I'm not one to break promises I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe At the end of it all you're still my best friend But there's something inside that I need to release Which way is right? Which way is wrong? How do I say that I need to move on? You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way You've given me more than I can return Yet there's oh so much you deserve Nothing to say Nothing to do I've nothing to give I must live without you You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can lie no more I can hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way

N O S T A L G I A

This song was wayyyy ahead of its time

He was offered a touring deal with Adele, and he turned it down, so that he could focus on his religious beliefs and now he makes music based on his religion. Still a great artist in my book, and this song will never get old! I hope he makes a great come back someday! 🤗👏

2011? Oh my god. OH MY GOD. How? This song is awesome. This is blowing my mind, I swear....

still good for 2016

Why am I sitting in bed 8 years later and decide to put this banger on

this song has no business still being this fire

I can't believe that this song is already 8 years old

This song was too early for its release.

So, the first time I heard this, was over the radio. I was thirteen, and could barely hear what he was saying, 'cuz the radio signal was shitty. Three years later, when I was old enough to have a phone, I typed the lyrics I could remember, into google, I watched it a couple of times. Six years later, the melody just randomly pops up in my head. This right here, is straight up, a MASTERPIECE.

This song is on repeat everyday, love it! 🔥

Remember back in 2011-2012 when people were arguing if this was dubstep or not

Man, I still remember listening to this when it came out.

One of the underrated songs ever made. No one has ever made a song on this topic.

Привет всем-всем! И кто с Лонгплея, кто нет. Песня в списке любимых с первого дня, как услышала. На долгие годы

This song is a modern classic. I still listen to it regularly!

Now this is what u call singing from the heart with deep emotions everything inside with so much real meaning from hard sacrifices that both sides with truly effect from but it's the only thing best to do

Thank you, Internet Explorer.

Anyone else randomly think about this song in 2024?

Went to hit "Like"...Oh I did. 8 years ago.

Oh GOD... *N O S T A L G I A*

Such an underrated artist😭

I can't believe how much time passed away since this masterpiece was released 😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢😢. Shoutout to anybody still listening in 2024

For some reason I started singing this song in a dream..woke up and instantly searched haha

This song just popped into my mind out of nowhere. Been a while since I’ve heard it last.

doesnt feel like 8 years when it's a good song

This song is legendary

this is truly an underrated song

Some friendships aren't meant to become romantic. The writer speaks well of the friend, which makes this track just as great lyrically.

oh wow I'm 6 years late.. but better now than never, right?

12 years later and still a great song It introduced me to dubstep and opened my eyes to more electro stuff

It's been 10 years. I wish we could live in a world where Alex gets a second chance. He's far too talented to be written off as a "one hit wonder". He has solid material! PS: the "Rolling In The Deep" pose at 00:31

No effects, no crazy lighting...just pure talent

This is just one of those time period specific classics that you can always return to and enjoy.

Still hits in 2024

This song is still criminally underrated edit: also only ogs remember the avengers internet explorer ad with this song back then 😭😭 good times that was the biggest movie of the yr

Danke Sascha! Schon vergessen das dieser Banger exestiert!

this was the shit when i was 12, 17 now and i just found it again.

!!! - 2023 still hitting - !!! The outro of the Movie "96 hours - Taken 2" reminded me of my old missing precious motivational Soundtrack! Thanks !

I don't care how long ago this song was made... This song still rocks to this day and year. 2018...

Нашла это видео после исполнения песни Виктором Кирилловым на русском "Голосе" 05.11.2021.

Letra: You know I'm not one to break promises I don't wanna hurt you but I need to breathe At the end of it all, you're still my best friend But there's something inside that I need to release Which way is right, which way is wrong How do I say that I need to move on? You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way You've given me more than I can return Yet there's oh so much that you deserve There's nothing to say, nothing to do I've nothing to give I must leave without you You know we're heading separate ways And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing I can really say I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way And it feels like I am just too close to love you There's nothing that I can really say I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more Got to be true to myself And it feels like I am just too close to love you So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way So I'll be on my way

Лол, искал музыку из рекламы Windows 10 а нашёл этот трек даже незнал что автор он. Крутая настольгия
