"In singing or in playing, it gives the listener a secure, jacketed feeling. Closeness is developed over time, and it's value to the ear is absolute." I loved this chapter, because closeness makes music better in my opinion. When the band is more connected, their sounds come out better.
"Close-harmony singing can be exhausting to the ear." I can agree to a certain extent, because if the harmony gets old quick then it would be exhausting, but I usually love hearing close harmony signing.
"Sometimes the closeness of two musicians within a band is what makes the band capable of moving beyond normal limits." The image above is the guitarists from Lynyrd Skynyrd, and when they play Free Bird, that's where I feel like they're moving beyond normal limits.
Closeness is a great way to play music, because you can make great things when you're connected.

This type of closeness is different, because it's all heavy and grungy. But the way they play is what makes them come together.

When I think of closeness, I think of Shane & Shane. They harmonize so well, and they're the perfect example for closeness. Around :50 is when they start harmonizing.
