The Damnwells / Alex Dezen - Closer Than We Are

[slug22b]

can you send me your chords and tuning for this song please!

[samanthahess]

after spending probably a few hundred hours listening to so many of your songs I still cannot put my finger on what it is about your music that just makes everything okay again. The world just melts away when I've got Alex and the amazing Damnwells singing in the background. As always, thank you :)

[TheBarefootSinger]

your music has been a huge inspiration to me for so many years!

[popeye89200]

amazing.

[monkeipeg]

I can imagine hearing him in person, up close, is like having a little slice of heaven. Just fills you with warm, good feelings.

[Scrawny928]

@monkeipeg

It is. He and Angela lived next to our friends during grad school (when this was recorded). I was only there one time when Alex got out a guitar and sang, but it was amazing.

[FireScreamer]

Awesome song! I first Heared it in Chaos Theory as soundtrack and I loved it! Thank a lot you for your creative work!!

[Danno1016]

Nice tune Alex....and great show on the river last night. You are a wonderful talent....thanks for sharing your songs with us.

[efw1024]

Alex. Damn bro!!!! You know how to write a song to a man's life like you'll never know!!!!!!

[SmokinStubs]

Thats fuggin excellent bud! I love the damnwells.

Good job man

[Suzenbe]

New to damnwells and love you! See you in Arlinton....a 6 hour drive! but worth it!

[zachattack9389]

This is my favorite song on the new album!

Absolutely amazing lyrics to this one.

Keep making incredible music Alex!

[GringoInMinnesota]

Thanks, Alex.....I wish the best for you and the Mrs. Your Last Name!

Can't wait to catch another live Damnwells show. Saw you open for the Old 97s a few years ago. Bastards Of the Beat and Air Stereo are amazing records...not just a single or two and some filler. I downloaded the new album, and it's another great one.

[physicci]

[xxXXSoApiEXXxx]

WOW your amazing! wow that really all i can say

[20funny]

[bandaidemechanic]

The whole first verse is my favorite part of the song.

[45strathmore]

Alex, I first saw this video sitting at an internet cafe in Prague, 1000's of miles away from a girlfriend I hadn't seen in months. The lyrics couldn't have had a more literal meaning for me...

[nmohr05]

one of the best songs ive ever heard

[lampmoar]

your music is aboslutely touching in it's simplicity...You would be doing an injustice to ever stop making music.

[troutwig66]

So great it's disturbing. don't ever put down that guitar and don't ever turn off that mic

[kerouac28]

Alex, don't eer give up - your music is incredible and inspiring.. I hope the band can somehow come back together and create a third masterpiece. Your music is flat-out outstanding; inspiring my friend.

[Bentheheathen]

thanks Alex, i know this wasn't in response to my long ass message, but damn its good to hear this song again.

[wobblydangly]

Love it!

[musicon1110]

Absolutely riveting

[303justbeingme]

I love all of the videos you have up right now - your songs are absolutely beautiful, I can't get over it!

[rodyrdz]

HELL YES

[spreadthehate]

good song but-the trade is my favorite song

[garrettderossett]

i'm gonna agree with 'juandela'... the line "two seats at the bar for mr and mrs my last name" is one of the most powerful line's i've ever heard. well done. please put this on an album!

[juandela]

"two seats at the bar. mr and mrs my last name." freaking awesome.

[butterflye521]

My idea of perfect is sitting in front of the fire curled up in a blanket with a cup of tea listening to his music. Absolutely beautiful songs he has, all of them.

[togetherbutlonely]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! xXx

[browneyedgirl221]

Beautiful<3

[melancholyjen]

Fantastic :) This is my favorite of yours, Alex.

Hopefully I can find your cds sooner than later, friend.

[samhain81]

I love the simplicity in his guitar and his complexity in his lyrics, a perfect combination.

He reminds me a lot of Tim Easton, another great songwriter.

[kerouac28]

Keep it goin', Alex. There are thousands of us for whom you've affected.. It's incredible, my friend.. Don't ever harbor an ounce of doubt.

[bvp663]

Awesome! Is this in standard tuning?

[FluffyLlama]

You are such a brilliant and inspirational singer-songwriter. I've been addicted to this song since I first heard it a couple of weeks ago.

[OTH05]

I LOVE the new music! I've been dying to see you guys in concert. Tour soon ;)

[carpeliam]

Alex, your songwriting is world class. You're doing good work, this is beautiful.

[urapita1]

I love the video and everything about you guys

[urapita1]

I love this song. When are you going to cut a new cd? Bastard of midnight is also a great tune. My friend died loving your music. He did get to see you in the Lime Spyder in Akron Ohio. You sit with him on the bar stool and bs for a while.

[celestialcachet]

this breaks my heart

for the love of god please get back on the road...i miss the damnwells.

[justpassmeby]

Thank you for reminding me suddenly how much I love my own loved one.

[yoletsee]

[lovebloomed4orli]
