about

This is the title track of the album, and gets to the heart of this little project...the notion that LOVE is closer than fear, close to the heart, closer than the gods, the angels, the demons, the illusions. I hope you enjoy. ~Ruth

lyrics

i wore my pain like a tattoo
red and black and blue
were the colors that I knew
i used to wade in that cold water all alone
now all i feel is you here next to me
i used to hurt so bad for what i wanted
thought I couldn't have
never had a feeling quite so bad
then i looked into your eyes and tried
to look away
but those eyes they held me
they held me
closer than god
closer than the angels
close to the heart
closer than danger
it's all turned out
so different than i thought it'd ever be
never though you'd be right here
next to me
when the rain it pours
outside your door
all you gotta do is open up your window
call my name outloud
i'll come flying from the clouds
on the wings of a dove
let it rise up let it rise up
and bring you closer
closer than god
closer than the angels
close to the heart
closer than danger

"Ruth Chadd makes the harp come to life with intricate, plucky, curious arrangements that float and flutter in the air. Each song is calm, ambient, minimal and introspective, allowing the listener to drift in and out of a soothing light landscape of the mind. Be calm, stay curious and listen.” – Marmoset Music

"Signature soul-arresting vocals, crystalline sound & poetic vision.” -CD Baby ... more
