Music Mondays - Too Close by Alex Clare

You might have heard this song on the Internet Explorer 9 advert already and wondered who the hell sings it. Well... That's British singer-songwriter Alex Clare.

Yeap. I'm the kind of person who hears a song somewhere, likes it and has to find out who is behind it. And this time what I found was a new artist to love. Don't stop on Too Close! Also have a listen to Hummingbird, Treading Water and Tightrope. I guarantee you might find it hard to choose a favourite.

Great lyrics, quirky voice and amazing beat. I went from listening to it on YouTube to buying the CD in seconds (Yes, the CD. I know. As a digital butterfly I should really go for the digital version and download the album, but I like CDs) so I have no doubt you'll enjoy it too.

Have a great week!

LYRICS...

TOO CLOSE

by Alex Clare

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 headed separate ways

CHORUS

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 that 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

CHORUS

So I'll be on my way

CHORUS

So I'll be on my way

So I'll be on my way
