Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 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.

Jenny Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I don't remember "So Close", but I have heard "Don't Hold Back Your Love" and I really like it. I don't own any of their albums, but I really liked them...even their '80's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Jane 61 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) 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 Edited February 2, 2006 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
