I would say 30 Days of Night rather than True Blood. Besides being the movie which -apparently- inspired the song, it fits much, much more the mood of the song.
I think the meaning of KOL's song "Closer"lies within the struggle and tension involved in a great, loving relationship gone wrong. The singer is expressing feelings of abandonment by someone; probably a girlfriend. It sucks being placed on the bottom of the totem pole. It hurts to pour all your love in and get hurt after it all because the other person won't compensate.
best song on the album in my opinion. sex on fire brought them commercial success, but this song shows the depth this band has. they took a chance with a new sound and it worked. this song is a classic.
this is my favourite song from kol. during my mid-terms i studied with this on repeat for two weeks and i still can't get enough of it. it makes me feel things i really can't explain.
A very great song. I have to hear at least everyday lol No lie this is the song thats helping go through rough times with my ex-girlfriend. but anyways such a wonderful song and a amazing band one of my many favorites!
Damn, how did you do it? The whole time security was walking up and down, telling people their weren't allowed to film! Man what great stuff!! On the officiale KOL fansite your clips are being promoted!!
Thanx 4 all the great videos. I saw KOL in April, and will again in Sept. I hope they aren't getting burnt out. They didn't come back for an encore?? What happened that pissed Caleb off? I read something about a beer being thrown at him? WTF?!?! I would almost kill to be that close! I am so sick of hearing about new fans versus old fans. Old fans have loved them for years and if a new fan is a true fan, than they have discovered what they have missed and love the boys even more.God Bless!
