David Rotenburger Unbelievably beautiful track by Elevate the Sky with unforgettable vocals by the wonderful Star Madman! The chemistry between these artists is tremendous! I hope they do more projects together in the near future. Scott, your music is more awesome than ever!!!

Rob Dyson (FutureSounds FM / Forever Synth) Really pretty track, Star Madman sounds amazing on this record - reminiscent of Michelle Bensimon's synthwave vocals. Elevate is proving to be a strong and talented producer in the scene, and this track oozes nostalgia. Favorite track: Close To You.

jwt7000 Time to elevate the madman! This is Star Madman's best singing performance in her career thus far, and also one of the best synthpop songs ever.

Dimi Kaye Bandcamp asks me why do I love this song. Has Bandcamp listened to this song? If they did they'd love it too.

If you listen to it once, you'll love it too.

lyrics

Close to You

I caught a glimpse of the future; we were older
But I keep failing at all of my attempts to see more
I took a screenshot and put it in a folder
So I’d remember that we are worth fighting for

I only needed you to know

We never had our chance
It seems like life had other plans
So say you understand

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

We can’t pretend that our lives are like a movie
It won’t come easy, we’ve got to put in the work
We may not win but you know you’ll never lose me
I can see clearly what everything we have is worth

There’s something I need you to know
I tried but I can’t let you go

I hope I’m not too late
I never meant to make you wait
I’m bound to you by fate

I only wanted close to you
I needed to be close to you
And everybody knows it’s true
So what am I supposed to do,
Just watch you walk away?

Damn what I feel
And every single day I feel it much more
We only needed one more day
We said the same thing yesterday
But time has made a mockery
Of everything we planned to be
Still we stay
My love for you will never fade

Until we get our time
You know you’ll always be on my mind
Until you can be mine

I only wanted close to you
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I needed to be close to you
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do?
(Time is on our side)
So come and run away with me
(Time is on our side)
I only wanted close to you
(Time is on our side)
And everybody knows it’s true
(Time is on our side)
So what am I supposed to do,
(Time is on our side)
Just watch you walk away?
