To start off the chapter Ratliff defines closeness to be "the sound of closeness -- too or more musicians, or musical elements, acting in the purest coordination." I definitely agree with Ratliff on his argument about closeness. Without closeness how would the fans be able to connect with the artist and their music. Closeness really helps grasps the audience attention. This musically element helps the artist bring their musically piece all together. Although closeness is pleasing to the ear it isn’t always the most pleasant sound. For example, many rock songs such as Brainpower by Freezepop have really close guitar chords along with really fast lyrics. In my opinion fast lyrics along with fast instrumentation does not work together that well at all, its gives off a very strong and intense vibe. I honestly don’t see how their audience would connect or find closeness to their music at all. But overall closeness bring more value to music overall.

This was one song that was on Ratliffs playlist. Throughout the song you get a sense of closeness as his voice and the drum come together. This creates a warm tone and helps the audience get a better feeling of his message.

With this song the guitar cords are very close together but the words are very legible. With that being said the closeness of the the chords and the screaming of the words work together very well.

But the sound of closeness -- too or more musicians, or musical elements, acting in the purest coordination -- tends to escape us because we can't see it.
