      +CGagnon5 "nobody cares" is a factual statement rather than an opinion. For the record I csre very much which makes you wrong. The UA-cam comment section is for people to read other people's comments/opinions so if you disagree state why or give your own opinion. Some people in this society are really so rude. I don't think you would behave the same way to someone's face so don't do it online.

      What I love most is how different the acoustic version is compared with the original. I don’t think you could ever imagine what the studio version is like if you heard this version first and knew nothing else about it. Timeless. It would surely pull on the heartstrings of eras passed. Even a caveman. Play this in the woods 100,000 years ago and a crowd would most certainly form 🫡♥️

    Alex Clare has completely blown me away with this unplugged version of "Too Close." He pours his heart into all of his music and he sings with his soul. He is, in my opinion one of the most talented male vocalist/musicians I have heard in the last several years. His music makes me feel. Absolutely beautiful!

    You know I'm not one to break promises
    I don't want to 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 heading separate ways
    And it feels like I am just too close to love you
    There's nothing I can really say
    I can lie no more
    I can 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 than I can return
    Yet there's oh so much you deserve
    Nothing to say
    Nothing to do
    I've nothing to give
    I must live without you
    You know we're heading separate ways
    And it feels like I am just too close to love you
    There's nothing I can really say
    I can lie no more
    I can hide no more
    Got to be true to myself
    And it feels like I am just too close to love you

    After 4 years of releasing, I found this song by accident and now I am obsessed it. The cover version from The voice of Germany brought me to here; even though that one was perfect as this, I still wanted to hear the original inspiration. And, the song made me addicted. It harmonized with my soul. Then, I couldn't stop replaying it.
