Travis-CloserTravis is a British indie pop band that’s been awarded British album of the year twice at the annual BRIT Awards. They’re often credited with having paved the way for bands such as Coldplay, Keane and Snow Patrol, all of which are all-time favorite bands of mine. I actually came to know of Travis when I was browsing a Keane forum site back in 2004.

Closer is the first single from their 2007 studio album, The Boy with No Name. I have to admit that very few songs of Travis’s material appeal to me, but this song was an instant favorite when I heard it for the first time. It has a gorgeous chorus melody that’s very heart-warming. Unfortunately, this is about the only song that stands out from their latest album, which forces me to file Travis under "bands with occasional decent records".

Lyrics

I’ve had enough of this parade
I’m thinking of the words to say
We open up unfinished parts
Broken up
It’s only love

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I’ll never leave you
Just need to get

Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now

Keep waking up (waking up) without you here (without you here)
Another day (another day) another year (another year)
I seek the truth (seek the truth), we set apart (we set apart)
Second dance
A second chance (a second chance)

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I’ll never leave you
Just need to get

Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean on me now

And when I see you then I know it will be next to me
And when I need you then I know you will be there with me
I’ll never leave you
Just need to get

Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Closer, closer
Lean on me now
Lean on me now
Lean of me now

Closer, closer
Closer, closer
