Hall and Oates ~ Change of Seasons


Sweet Jane 61

Recommended Posts

Ok I am now eating my words. This album did have a top 40 hit....but...it was not a pop oriented album, by no means. It was released in 1990 and "So Close" made the charts, nice cut, but there are other cuts on the album that give you the real Hall and Oates soul sound. "Don't Hold Back Your Love", "Starting All Over Again", and "Heavy Rain" all have a R&B feel. This was not an album that recieved critical raves, but I think that was due to the lack of the top 40 pop tunes that were all over the charts in the 80's. I pulled this out last night and forgot what a nice listen this album is. The unplugged version of "So Close" would have been my pick for the charts. Check it out if you are a Hall and Oates fan.

So Close ~ Hall and Oates

They met on the dance floor in the old high school gym

He fell like a rock

She kinda liked him

And his heart beat like thunder as they moved cross the floor

But when the music was over she slipped out the door

Yeah a man loves a woman but he can’t understand

Why she’s sad when she stares at the ring on her hand

Then she sits in some club where the long shadows fall

Drops a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall

So close

Yet so far away

We believe in tomorrow and a better day

We lie down to sleep so close

Yet so far away

There’s a restless look in you eye tonight

There’s a secret hurt in my heart

And the dream that pulls us together girl

Is a dream that keeps us

So close

Yet so far away

Some people think if you really believe

That’s all you need to solve all the mysteries

Well I know someone who just heads for the sun

She says I don’t wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young

There’s a restless look in your eye tonight

There’s a secret hurt in my heart

And the dream that pulls us together girl is a dream

That’s gonna tear us apart
