I picked the song "When I Get Home" by The Beatles from Ratliff's playlist.  The song starts out with John Lennon and Paul McCartney singing the "whoa-oo-oh-eye" part together in unison.  This is an example of closeness, as their voices are very closely molded together and the togetherness makes the song more enjoyable for the listener. When they sing this part together, it makes it seem that much more prominent in the song. This is the part that stuck in my head the most, it might have been because I was listening for it, but I think it was because it is the part that most sticks out because of the closeness.

I picked the song "Take It Easy" by the Eagles to represent the musical technique closeness.  The Eagles are known for being a band that has really good harmony.  In the chores, where the artists sing "come on baby, don't say maybe" in unison, they provide this effect of closeness as they sound similar in all aspects but each voice is a slightly different pitch.  Even the background vocals are in unison, when they sing "oo-o-oo" together it sounds almost like one voice. I believe this song, and just about any Eagles song for that matter, would display the musical technique, closeness. The closeness in pretty much all of the Eagles song's is what I think makes them a popular and memorable band.

Closeness is discussing how closely the voices come together, it is very similar to the concept of harmony.  It is when the two voices are in unison, as long as the two voices are not trying to project two distinct styles, then it is considered closeness.  Ratliff argues that closeness is something that tends to "escape us" when we are listening to music (Ratliff 161).  This is because we are used to contrasting voices, artists try and do this in order to have each part have its own voice.  Ratliff states that closness gives the reader a "secure, jacketed feeling" when listening to it (Ratliff 161).  Closeness is more difficult to find when compared to contrast in voices.
