Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
No more music stores to purchase from and Itunes doesnt carry any of pauls work,,,, yeah so HMV eh cool. Anything Canadian is awesome best of luck to you Natalie, from Shaner
For those wanting this song or the album: it is available on CD in England, I got one via e-Bay. Paul is now a theology professor at Kings College, London
beautiful piece of music, sincere melody and lyrics. Had forgotten about this song until I heard it in my car yesterday on Boom 97.3. Brought me back to those years, and made me think of that special person who is no longer near me. I will never forget you daddy <3
Last night during a central-Alberta conversation: Paul Janz came out.
Not planned. A woman from Trochu, not too far down the road remembered something about 'Paul'. She didn't know him; but ironically enough, the rest of the nation, DID!
yes, I definately remember Paul Janz from the 80's and 90's. i was born in 1979 and i remember all this kind of music from the 80's and 90's. Paul Janz actually had a wonderful voice. I especially like his song "Amazon Rain." Thanks for posting. I still love all this old music from my youth :)
This is one of those "feel good" songs! I love it:) It takes me back to my childhood...........when life was simple and stress-free! Thanks for posting.
For those 80's fan who do like to listen Paul Janz's music! Even though sometimes EZ-Rock 97.3 in Toronto do play his music like this one during 80's rock as well his "Send me a Miracle". I do enjoy Paul Janz's music and managed to collect all of his CD's album!
"Leaving LA" is one of my all time favourite songs!!! It's a tough song to find anywhere...I have it on a Canadian compilation CD and that's the only place I've ever seen it available. Good luck to you!
A new local radio station here started playing 80's music 24/7. This song I haven't heard in a lonng time, but I heard it on the radio the other day. Memories.
Get your dad's cousin to release a remastered greatest hits collection. There is Presence but its hard to find and issued in 1992. Wish you well on your path.
@NatalieJanz Ms. Janz ... I guarantee you I remember Mr. Janz's great work. Believe in Me and Close My Eyes got me through a lot of pain during a rather painful childhood during the eighties :) Wonderful to know that he is still making music :)
This song still gets stuck in my head on a fairly regular basis... Kind of ironic for his least succesful single... I dunno, I preferred his first 2 albums to his later stuff, but I think it may have been my own musical taste evolution by '89 onward...
Yup! It's quite unfortunate that gems like this one are completely forgotten. I used to love this song back then, but I too forgot until the radio played it today on the lunch 80's segment. Hence, me being here to share that with y'all
I'm from Cleve OH, Ocassionally I use to pick-up A.M. (NOT F.M.) Radio out of Chatham Ontario, and this song was in Rotation in Fall '85. Paul Janz would hav been a bigger success in the U.S. with a lil promotion. Hard to believe this song NEVER made top 10. Good Stuff too. The record was released on A&M records, so I tracked down the Clev area REP for A&M and he got me a COPY...which I still have, Thanks JAck S. Thanks for posting! Brings back many memories. :) J.
'Close My Eyes' reached #94 in Canada, making it the least successful of all 15 of the hits he had in Canada. I know, I was shocked about that as well. I remember this song was HUGE!
i am in love all over again :3

"I found you when I wasn't looking
I didn't look when you closed the door
It was easier before here alone
You did something to my ordinary
You gave it all a reason
It's so hard to be here feeling so alone."
These lyrics apply to so many girls I have known.

People looking for Paul's Greatest Hits CD should be able to buy it from HMV Music Canada. That's where I bought mine a couple of years ago.

Albertans: we love ya .. don't let politicians and regional silliness get in the way of 'what we all love together'; one of your own.

I am very happy to see that there are people who still remember Paul Janz.
He is my dad's cousin and they were both singers of the band Deliverance.
And I am going down the same road.
If you're curious, just go onto YouTube and listen to "Sweeter Than Wine".

This is a classic. I'm very suspicious why it was never introduced to the American market. Who are the people that control the recording industry?
