I feel like this band as a whole has a lot of closeness, or unison in this case. Most of their earlier works do have almost all of their members and their songs always have harmonies in present. All the "Ohs" in this song have similar but strong impacts to their audience just like their song "Help!" because being able to harmonize takes time, practice, and closeness in order to get to know how your other band mates will sing and harmonize with you.

Indoor drumline is comprised of many people playing different instruments to create a musical product which will hopefully move an audience through their performance. Sometimes it takes brute force and time to "become one" with a song and be close with it. There is then a second level of becoming musically close as the performers need to be able to be in tune with each other. With their knowledge of the pieces they are playing, it amplifies their musical closeness to each other and this concept can be easily seen by their audience members.

On a side note this screenshot is from VIP Drumline and their 2016 WGI show "We the People". It's a good watch and as a percussionist I can fangirl about their performance.

I'm being a little bit of a romantic here, but duets with couples are great examples of musical closeness. I find it easy to hear the emotions that are shared between Gaye and Terrell, especially with their song "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". Ironically the song was recorded separately by the artists, but whenever the two performed together live, they gained a lot of success. Their musical closeness brought the two together and they became very good friends up until the death of Terrell due to a brain tumor.

The song "I've got a Dream" (below from the Disney YouTube channel) from the wonderful Disney movie, Tangled, doesn't seem like all the characters who are in this scene are close, after all, they just met each other. However, through the magic of Disney, they all have musical closeness as they can sing together about the same theme. Flynn Rider/Eugene is the exception though as he questions why everyone is starting to sing randomly (as is typical in Disney films). However he is the odd one out and is not in tune with everyone else in the tavern. He tries to but, he's not "close" as the tavern people would want it to be. He has yet to master closeness, especially with the main character/love interest (i.e Rapunzel) but, he does have his chance to redeem himself as he romantically breaks out into song in harmony (and closeness) with Rapunzel in "I See the Light".

Musical closeness is an intimate aspect of music where two or more players or singers understand each other on the musical level. It's like musical telepathy when one knows what the other is thinking or knows what they are going to do or play next within a song. A great example of musical closeness described by Ratliff would be in jazz. Jazz is known for their improvisation aspect, but the reason why improv can happen, is because of closeness. If I can tell that my partner wants to play a solo improv piece soon, I would be able to seamlessly back off my playing and accompany my partner and let him or her shine. I can tune into their mind and let the flow of the music happen, and they should be able to do the same for me. I believe that musical closeness is acquired and learned through experience as one player learns the style and tastes of the other. However, there may be some instances where people can just "click" and lock into each other naturally, as if they are meant for each other, they are perfect for one another, and ultimately, the are "The One".

"[Help!] contained the marvel of closeness between the voices of Paul McCartney and John Lennon. They knew its power; they celebrated it, were celebrated for it, could hardly contain it, may have been frightened by it, may have tried to frighten each other with it."                                        -Ratliff 183

The word help already implies an emotion of panic, but when more people say help all at once, there's a stronger sense of emergency and emotion to it. When Lennon and McCartney sing help together, there's even more power, which is what Ratliff was referencing. In reality they don't sing their notes/pitches in unison but they are rather harmonized with each other in an "ugly" sound which would further promote the sense of urgency for their song. Because the two were close musically, they knew what to do with their power and draw in their listeners very easily and quickly with their call (for help).

"Could it be because drumming is meant to be done in a unit of two or more, forming a kind of choir, and for purposes other than just music alone?                                      -Ratliff 168

The answer is yes. Long ago when I was in middle school, I had to perform in a snare drum trio. The notes and parts were exactly the same (I think) but having three individuals play this piece together held more power to it rather than just a lone solo drummer. Since this was middle school, we were essentially beginners in the world of music, but when being close with one another musically, we were able to hold each other up and compliment each other through our playing.
