Next – Too Close


In or around 1997, an American outfit by the name of ‘Next’ produced an all time classic, if not one-hit-wonder by the name of ‘Too Close’. UK readers might recognise this from the cover that the boy band ‘Blue’ did in (from memory) 2002.

Looking back, it is amazing to see just how filthy this song really is. To think, as the young innocents we were, despite most people knowing all of the words, we did not realise just how “all that grinding” was “making it hard for me” or what that meant!

I’m afraid that we had to use this video because Sony BMG don’t allow the original video to be viewed anywhere except on Youtube or their own websites.

80s Child

As my name suggests, I was born in the early 80s, the things I write about will be late 80s onwards. Pretty much my earliest coherent memories are of Italia 90, which gives you some clues! I'm English. I'll update this profile bit some more soon!
