Lyrics:
So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today
We're so close, so close, yet so far away
#DarylHall #JohnOates #HallandOates #SoClose #PopRock #ChangeofSeason
Probably the most underrated Hall & Oates tune.
In 2005 in Birmingham UK I requested this song during the concert. Daryl said they couldn’t play it because there were new musicians in the band. Next day we spoke to Daryl again and he said he was sorry that they couldn’t play So close. Two days later we were at their concert in Manchester and at a certain moment Daryl said that they got a request the other day and that they had been practising. At that moment John pointed his finger at me and I asked So Close and he said Yes. They gave us a perfect performance of So close and Daryl threw me his guitar pick/plectrum. One of the best moments in my life ❤
Wow
Wow!! That’s awesome!
"I don't wanna be wise; I just want to stay young". One of the most insightful (yet never appreciated) lyrics in music history
Very true.
Middle age is gonna hit the millennials hard, just like it did the boomers👍
Yeah because when you're old you are wise. But don't you know youth is wasted on the young and wisdom is wasted on the old?
Being young or wise is still so cliche
Obviously everyone here appreciates the lyrics.
I can still feel, and smell that summer when this song plays. I don't know why. That is all.
Me too.1989 and 1990 were pivotal years in my life.
I get it…
I know exactly what you mean. Junior year at college for me. Some of the best times of my life.
Hey🎉me too memories from a smell and music🎶❤❤❤❤
@@djg3996Junior year of high school for me, friend! 👍❤️
One of the best Hall and Oates songs!
That Jon Bon Jovi wrote
They scored top twenty hits for 15 years - almost unheard of longevity. This was their last one , peaked at #11 in 1990
Always loved Daryl Hall & John Oates and grew up with their music, but I feel like as I near 50 years-old, I'm really growing into them. Their music resonates more than ever. Truly the greatest Duo in music history.
Agree but Heart is right there
I just woke up singing this song from out of the blue. It's just as great as it ever was. So close. This song has crept into my mind on so many fitting occasions over the past 30yrs. This song is a hit on every level
Daryl Hall is perfection.
Always & Forever!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
Agreed. Beautiful .
Great rock and roll song from the dying days of Rock in the early 90's. Danger Danger, Heart, Aerosmith, Def Leppard, Boston, Bryan Adams...all had some very underappreciated songs during that time.
I miss good songs with nice, understandable lyrics. I can listen to the sweet sounds of Hall n Oates all day!
1990.....that was when this song was released. Man....they don't make songs like this these days.....
they dont make bands like this anymore.
Go view the video of Jason Mzaz and Daryl Hall doing it at Daryl's House (Live From Daryl's House - So Close -). It is a freaking truly amazing rendition. They need to release it again under this rendition.
@@mojomanmurph1925 just listened to it, loved it. Came back to thank you for suggesting it, now I'm back to listen to it again and again...
Search Retrowave and other types of Retro Music. Yes they do. Just not for the radio?
A very underrated album by Hall and Oates. Unfortunately once 1985 passed, the music industry stopped marketing them as a top act anymore. Happens to everyone except for a few music artists. This album was a byproduct of the unplugged craze going on in 1990.
Why?
They will always be #1
Don't care what anyone says ❤
Hall and Oates signed with Arista Records in 1986. This album, Change of Season, was the 2nd and final album for the act on Arista Records.
Daryl Hall is so passionate.
This song is so soulful and expressive! They not only sing the lyrics - they embody them.
And "The dream that brings us together...is the dream that's gonna tear us apart."-Isn't that the truth between Daryl and John and their current situation...
It’s melodies like these that pulls you more into the aura of Hall & Oates! ✨
Winter 1990-91. I am driving home from a course I am taking that is related to my new Government job. I have a girlfriend (who I don't love any more) and a 2 year old daughter (that i love with all my heart). This song comes on the radio, and I start balling my eyes out thinking of the girl that got away. Years later, hearing this song still transports me to that late winter afternoon and brings back those same emotions.
Daryl Hall and John Oates, you are unforgetable.
Love his long hair in this video. They will always be one of the best.
Fabulous song by two musical giants. Love you and your music guys...
Fantastic song. These guys are timeless.
Yep... Hall of Fame-👍🏻😁👍🏻
LYRICS
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
When the music was over she slipped out of his arms
And out of the door, yes you did
Yeah a man loves a woman but he can't understand
Why she's sad when she stares at the ring on her hand
Or she sits in some club where the long shadows fall
Drop a coin in the jukebox not the phone on the wall
So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow maybe more than today
We're so close, so close, yet so far away
Some people think if you really believe
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries
Yeah I know someone who just heads for the sun
(She says)
"I don't wanna be wise, I just wanna stay young"
So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
We believe in tomorrow, but we stuck in today
Baby we're so close, so close, so far away
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
There's a secret hurt in my heart
(So close)
And the dream that pulls us together girl
Is a dream that's gonna tear us, tear us apart
There's a restless look in your eye tonight
Are you looking for somewhere, end up here
(I see you looking in my eye)
We gotta fight, to keep it together girl
For the dreams that keeps us
So close, yet so far away
So close, yet so far away
The who would've thought girl that we end up this way
Given so close, so close, so far away
We're livin' in a dream world
(So close, so far away)
But we live in today, girl
(So close, so far away)
Just you and me baby
(So close, so far away)
Baby side by, side by, side by
Side by, side by, side by, side (So close, so far away)
(So close, so far away)
So close, so far away
So close
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
such an underrated song
mikefredrck1
Absolutely
totally agree
If I am not mistaken, Jon Bon Jovi wrote the song
Just checked.... he produced it
My favourite by them 🤘🏼
1:25 THE LOOK OF DARYL IS SO POWERFUL!!
Here enjoying a wonderful adult beverage while listening to some great music during this crazy Quarantine.
What a really great version of this song!! It feels a lot like yesterday. This is the ultimate album version, as opposed to the acoustic "only" version. It's much better this way, and it's so much fun hearing this great song like this, because it really jams away with guitar, bass and drums!! The keyboard accompaniment sounds like heaven as well!! A legendary band Hall, and Oates were. Having originated in Philly, they set the example of real music: the way it's supposed to be played. Now that's what I call real music!!!!
I was in Junior High when this song came out. I would give up everything to go back in time and live in the 90's and never leave that era. Ever.
Love peace and respect to Hall & Oates for sharing their talent and beauty.☺
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,
When the music was over, she slipped out of his arms, and 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.
Or 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.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today.
We're so close, so close, yet so far away.
Some people think, if you really believe,
That's what you need to solve all the mysteries.
Yea I know someone, who just heads for the sun,
She says "I don't want to be wise, I just want to stay young".
So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today.
Baby we're so close, so close, yet so far away.
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, tear us apart.
There's a restless look in your eye tonight,
Oh, are you lookin' for some way out of here.
We gotta fight to keep it together girl,
For the dream, that keeps us, So close, yet so far away.
So close, yet so far away.
Who would of thought girl that we'll end up this way.
Getting' so close, so close,
So far away.
We're living in a dream world.
Yet we're livin' today girl.
Just you and me baby.
Gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try, gotta try.
Thanks for the Lyrics 💐
*sigh* So beautiful.
I was lucky to grow up around this time, when music made you feel good. Always grateful to H&O for all the fantastic, timeless music.
'We believe in tomorrow, maybe more than today.'
Ah, how good is that!
Saw these guys at a free summer concert in Coney Island with my best mate a decade ago. I was so close yet so far away (in the crowd, haha). Good times. :)
Are u a Maneater
I had my first kiss to this song 🙈
This reminds me of my ex boyfriend. The pain it would bring me I would cry. To this day it still does. That's what love does to a person. He still has my heart 💓. He doesn't even know it. Thank you Hall and Oates. God Bless you.
I forgot how much I love this song! Yay!! Rock and roll hall of fame, here comes H&O!!
Have not heard this in years. Takes me back to seventh grade, fall of 1990, especially the line "just heads for the sun."
It was not a good time for me, but I liked the song. It seemed we knew at the time that Hall & Oates had already run their course, and that this was a last gasp, at least on the pop charts.
Sounds like my story. Hugs.
1990 I was 26 years of age. Attending college in Aberdeen SD. Wow does this song bring back days of hot summer nights, and cruising main street. They will never make anything this good or even come close as the 70's 80's and 90's music brought us.
I Don't wannabe wise
I just wanna stay young 🎶
This song would play every morning on the school bus back in 6th grade
OMG you're me...
I was also in the 6th grade when this song came out
Am slightly obsessed with this song of late...love love love H&O.
Maybe the best modulation in any song ever. Love Daryl's soulful writing skills!
We have all been SO CLOSE! Give props to this song and message...I just wish I could Have been more courageous as a young man...
They sung this album in NYC AMAZING in the 90s!! Saw them 2x..in 2000's in Hershey too.
Daryls voice Flawless!! Live!
Such a beautiful song and Daryl & John's voices blend beautifully with this fantastic song. They are truly one rich sounding duo that have lasted 40 decades of wonderful music. Duos have come and gone, but these two will forever play a central part of one of the best in history. For me, I'm happy to have seen them in concert back in the 80s and forever a fan since then.
So close yet so far away...so true 💔
Whenever I feel down, sad or just having a bad day I turn to Daryl Hall and John Oates!! Love these guys!!
How does this amazing song only have this many views? That's a crime!!
this song reminds me of a girl I never got to go out with, actually it worked out for the best, she's been married about 6times now.
You dodged that bullet huh?
Or maybe you were the happily-ever-after-forever she missed out on.
@@AmandaLaggan could've been.......
Wooooooow, you were SO CLOSE in making the biggest mistake of your life. 🤣😂😆
Co written by John Bonjovi. I got to hear them in concert 1978 outside a NYC club.It was like 0 outside but man they rocked! We saw them in NJ 2017 still sound great!
Saw them live in Glasgow twice - brilliant brilliant brilliant
Newcastle 1990, best concert of my life
They are amazing live. I saw them twice. First times was at Live Aid in Philly. I also saw them in 1990 when they toured to support the So Close album.
I usually say 'barf' to most love songs these days., but I still love these guys!
One of my favorites!!!
This song has been in my head for years. Finally found it. I had no idea it was Hall and Oates.
Just saw them in concert in birmingham last week.They were absolutely amazing.
I'm jealous!
Best hair in the top 40 😂. We took these cats for granted back then. Talent.
2019 and still bumping this!!
Yup ! Listening after many many years in 2020, Jan 3rd!!!
best band Ever!
We believe in tomorrow, though we're stuck in today.
hall and oates are one of a kind theres no one like these two guys they were the best and they will always be#1
Greatest Duo
Era adolescente quando ouvi essa música pela primeira vez tinha apenas 15 anos hoje estou com 45 e nunca esqueci ela
Mais não lembrava mais o nome
Até que do nada ela veio na minha mente
Como é bom relembrar o passado ❤❤❤❤❤
I love this song
I've never heard that intro before! I thought they remade the song. Man I've loved this since 1990
This reached #11? What were you thinking, 1990?!
They were SO CLOSE!
Havel the Rock yet so far away.
to be fair it was late 1990/early 91 and new jack swing and other kinds of pop music were pushing the 80s style music off the charts (though it wasn't full blown until 1993 when grunge and hip hop were fully mainstream).
Agreed. This song should've been Top 10...their only song by them I like this much is Say it Isn't So
your a jerk i would swear but my dad raised me better than that!! this is a great song!
I love this song!
if this doesn't take you back to the late 80's early 90's era.
Two of the greatest musicians ever!!!! Love the hair back then!!......2021.
awesome song from hall and oates. my lady is so close but so far away, but all that matters is she is all mine.
Listening to this Great song yet again...
Saw them a few times when I lived in the UK. Still one of my favourites
They more than multitalented. Daryl can sing anything, he has a sultry voice. I would love to hear him sing Amazing Grace My Chains Are Gone.
I forgot about this song I loved it then and now I love Darryl hall and John Oates there so beautiful together good job it makes me happy and that’s hard to do lol 😂
This song reminds me of when my husband and I got divorced. The lyrics fit what was going on between us. Beautiful song with a lot of meaning.❤😢
This music is timeless and forever awesome
This song just popped into my head after many years.
Me too
bob severns I love this song, also. Brings back good memories, doesn't it?
I just woke up w it in my head.
Di tto 😀
Me too!
Hall & Oates...writing the sound track to our Iives for 4 decades
I saw these guys in concert when I was just twelve years old… It was a great show and just hearing them sing takes me back to that time. It was awesome
Once you've heard this H & O classic...like most of their music...you're saying the lyrics as you hear the track. 'They met on the dance floor at the old high school gym...felt like a rock...she kinda liked him...and his heartbeat like thunder...etc.' The best tracks are those you sing with, identify with, and that provide an emotional attachment. Hall and Oates have that part of music down combined with superior beat. The theme keeps returning...'So Close...yet so far away!" Great stuff!
Daryl to moje lekarstwo na WSZYSTKO. jego wokalowi nigdy nikt nie dorówna!
Dary Hall and Jhon Oates the best duo of the History!!
I know I know I know my brother. I mean it seems so close but I don't know what to do or refuse to do what I'm supposed to do, pray for me brother
Lyrics to live by...🎵❤️
Great song from underrated cd
Not the only album I remember.......but I remember a certain album from 1973........long time since then, but Darryl would be nothing without John in my book n I'm glad they had such a hold of the soundtrack to my life
Total rock!!!
Not a Hall and Oates fan but everyone has lived these lyrics... not my style of music but the lyrics are so deep cuz everyone has to relate and remember someone or something that brings back memories
Best song I've ever heard on the radio.
I remember when I was a teenager I went to a high school dance and danced with a boy but after I slipped out the door this song reminds me of that I love it
From my 6th grade student dance. Wow, simpler times.
Best of the Best love them. Boy can sing love his Voice
I love this song!!!!!!!
One of their mega hits. 💓Perfect !💞
It just missed the top 10, peaking at #11.
Pretty sure Daryl Hall is an Earth Angel 🥰
Such a great song sung with so much passion! Daryl, with your unbelievable voice you have a romantic way about you! Best duo ever, so much talent in songwriting and singing and there will never be another duo like you two! Your music makes hearts melt and bring endless smiles and joy!! 😊❤️
This song takes me back to the summer of 1990, when I was just a summer from beginning high school!
another great tune from hall & oates
By far their most underrated song.
Summer of 1990 anyone? This song really rocked back then.
It still rocks
One of my favorite Daryl Somgs…so true. And yes@ believe in tomorrow but stick in today”! And “
The present repairs the past and prepares the Future❤️❤️❤️🎼🎹🎤😎🌴
Honestly their greatest song!!!
