Insane = Closer ?

borneoman · 07-27-2006, 01:46 AM

Some time ago I read that Damien had written a song especially for the Closer soundtrack, which was not included in the end (although TBD and Cold water were included).

Since Insane features the words Closer in the lyrics... I was wondering if it could be the same song?

buddy · 07-27-2006, 01:50 AM

insane has been around for a while, so i doubt it.

Bumpman · 07-27-2006, 02:14 AM

No, it isn't. I think everyone who heard that song is currently trying to forget it.
If nothing else it proved that we all make mistakes from time to time.

HydeBurns · 07-27-2006, 04:41 AM

would this be the song that was titled "closer"? The on for which I've only heard on a bootleg of the katrina support show? Cause I realy liked that song. Honestly, all of the new random stuff he's been releasing has bored me to tears. The accidental babies, the steal a mule and unplayed piano and that lot.....yeah....sorry, bored me. "closer".....good song that went somewhere and had a good groove.

SisterMidnight · 07-27-2006, 04:49 AM

hey matt, yep that would be the one.. it's actually called "closer" and was written for the strip scene sequence of the film (maybe that's where the groove came from

) the show it was on was recorded at the asian tsunami benefit in dublin last january though, not katrina..

it's not one of my favorites, but it's grown on me

HydeBurns · 07-27-2006, 09:16 AM

yeah yeah, katrina, tsunami. same difference. All the natural disasters kind melt together in my head. I knew it was the tsunami, it just got lost in the thought process somewhere.

Bumpman · 07-27-2006, 12:58 PM

If I ever hear of him playing that song again, I think I'll just have to start firebombing. It was the cheesiest thing i've ever heard in my life.
A f*cking natural disaster in itself.

HydeBurns · 07-27-2006, 01:25 PM

No, the cheesiest thing existing might be more like the reason - hoobastank. Or fall to peices - velvet revolver. Or all of 80's rock. Cheez wiz

Miss Pink · 07-27-2006, 10:19 PM

I have it...

Spamlet · 07-27-2006, 11:55 PM

Hmm.

I honestly neither hate that song nor love it.

It does have a decent groove but I'd say those lyrics were appropriately cheezy like all hit dance/strip club songs. So ya gotta keep in mind that Damo's deliberately making fun of that kind of shallow "a good beat is all you need" type of songwriting.

Curious anyone would say that song "goes somewhere" and something like "Accidental Babies", which I'm convinced he also wrote for that film (check those lyrics and notice the similarity to the actual dialogue) doesn't. Sounds like Hyde just has a bias against ballads or slow songs in general.

P.S. Yes, Hoobastank sucks but c'mon "Fall to Pieces" was easily Velvet Revolver's best tune- it's their rockers which are really embarrassing! Personally, I'm a sucker for most all 80's rock but then, I freely admit, that was definitely what I grew up on.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that he wrote Accidental Babies for that film... that's what I've always thought.

I've never heard Closer or have come across the lyrics...anyone care to share? I'm curious now..

Is there anyway I can get in on this song sharing as well? Or is the file just too huge?

brookefield · 07-28-2006, 04:41 AM

yeah, i'm with ashley...i've never ever heard the song, and unless there's any possibility that its going to be on his new album (in that case, i would prefer to wait till decemberish, or whenever, to hear it...i'm thirsty for surprises).

but if not, i would LOVE love love it if someone would be so nicely as to send it to me...

I think it's kinda sexy & cool

, the funky feel of it...although I'd like to read the lyrics, that my change my opinion if they are just silly. But although different, i dig...

Miss Pink · 07-28-2006, 02:12 PM

i posted the lyrics a while back, but its impossible to hear what lisa sings

there u go

Ashley · 07-28-2006, 06:21 PM

It finally finished downloading on my computer. Its a little funky, wish the quality was better, but i'll have to give it a few listens. its kinda of fun

srahman24 · 07-29-2006, 04:53 PM

haha... it's a great song!

(ok, not great, but definitely not terrible either)

It's funky... and he sounds sexy no matter what he does so... well, I guess I'm just a little incapable of being objective.

I tried to use itunes to "fix" the sound... wasn't entirely successful, but I think I managed to make it loud enough to get down all of the lyrics.

I want you closer
I want you closer
I want you in my dirty hands
I want to touch you in your body, gonna let your baby, down
I want you every night I please
Want you to bend, want you to tease
Want you to take me down on your knees
Wanna let your baby down

And you can take me higher in your zone
If you tell me your name, I'll take you home
And you can take my pain, I've got loads
I wanna let your baby down.

(Lisa's verse)
I want you to take me closer
I want you to make me suffer
I want you to wear me out, no I'll let you down (??)
I'll let your baby down

And you can take me out, all night long
And you can turn my stones into gold
If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby down

Yeah, you can take me out, all night long
And you can take my pain, cos I've got loads
If you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby down

I want you closer
I want you in my dirty hands (you're gonna let your baby down)
Want you to let me in your body (you're gonna let your baby down)
I want you every night I please
Want you to bend, want you to tease
Want you to take me down on your knees

You can take me out, all night long
And you can turn my stones, into gold
And if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby...

I wanna let you
Make me out, all night long
And you can turn my pain into gold
Yeah, if you tell me your real name, I'll take you home
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...
I wanna let your baby...

Soleillily · 07-30-2006, 06:56 AM

Thanks Pink and Srah...if he wrote this song for the stripclub scene in Closer, then the lyrics make total sense.. I still like the feel of the song, its not my favourite but it's cool...

julia · 07-31-2006, 02:29 AM

this song sounds so cool. Would love to hear it.
