In this Padlet, we will discuss the element of closeness in music. Ben Ratliff discusses it as an important musical element that helps to tie the song together. It gives the listener something worth listening to. He also describes it as "sometimes the closeness of two musicians within a band is what makes the band capable of moving beyond normal limits." I agree with him as yes, closeness does help an artist and/or the band to feel complete and bring them beyond their capability to transcend the listener to a different place. In this Padlet, I used his example, "Kings of the Wild Frontier" by Adam and the Ants as he mentioned in the book. He talks about how the drummers help bring the song together as they give a closeness feel to the song. To help support his argument, I used Ozzy Osbourne's song, "Crazy Train," to prove that closeness is a strong element in music. Both of the songs provide a good understanding of how the element of closeness can impact a song and impact the audience. In this Padlet, I hope you will understand the importance and impact of closeness in music.

This is a song mentioned by Ben Ratliff as he explains the element of closeness and it's impact on music. In this song, you can hear the two drummers going on simultaneously as they play in harmony. The effects of two drums bring a sense of closeness to this song. As he describes "it is exactly the music I am looking for."

As mentioned in the book, the Beatles in 1964 were at their peak of composing closeness in their music. I feel like this image really helps to illustrate how they worked and harmonized together as a band and as musical creators.

I feel like Ozzy Osbourne's song "Crazy Train" would be a good example of showing closeness in music. In the beginning, the two guitars work together to create the tune that everyone loves. The famous guitar solo that introduces the craziness of the song. I think the two guitars bring the song together as it gives the song that closeness feel while sounding the same, but sounding different as well.

All aboard! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay Crazy, but that's how it goes. Millions of people living as foes. Maybe it's not too late. To learn how to love And forget how to hate. Mental wounds not healing, Life's a bitter shame.
