2) IRIS originally called "Forgiving Iris", started in 1993 when two members of a Texas college electronic music class, Reagan Jones and Matt Morris, realized they had identical tastes in music. The band began playing covers of their favorite songs at clubs in town, and slowly gained a following. A lucky break led to Iris playing at the KRBE 104.1 festival in Houston with acts like C&C Music Factory and Lucas, as well as a performance at the side stage of the Duran Duran / Waterlilies concert that same year. After the appearance of an early version of the track "Annie, Would I Lie To You" on various compilations, the band signed with Todd Durrant from A Different Drum, and work began on the first record.
3) Iris is a Romanian hard rock band. It was established in 1977 by Ion Dumitrescu (drums), Nuţu Olteanu (lead solo guitar and vocals) and Emil Lechinţeanu (bass guitar). They achieved a huge success, followed by tours throughout Romania and recordings for radio broadcast.
The democratic regime installed after 1989 offered the group a chance they couldn’t have in the communist regime. They started appearing on TV and having tours in Italy. They celebrated their 15th anniversary at an international rock festival in 1991 and 1992 beside Ian Gillan Band, and 25 years in 2001 with Uriah Heep.

Closer to Real
Iris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just making sense, from diving signs
One reality's getting hard to find
Strike my fingers and the answers come
Can't tell if they're real, they alter
is all you feel
And the radar just keeps returning
It's like crystal vision, but it's hit and miss
Night by night, it's written in my palms
Then when I read, it's all wrong
Closer to real
is all you feel
I live out where the lakes are dry
I can see for miles in a straight line
Closer to real
is all you feel
The song “Closer to Real” by Iris is one that delves into the idea of searching for answers in a world that seems to be changing and shifting constantly. The lyrics begin with the singer stating that they are simply trying to make sense of things based on the signs that they see around them. However, as time goes on, that reality becomes harder and harder to find.
The song’s chorus is particularly poignant, with the line “Closer to real is all you feel” being repeated multiple times. This seems to suggest that even though the singer might not be able to find concrete answers to their questions, they are still able to find a sense of reality and grounding by getting closer to the truth.
Throughout the song, there are references to crystals, radar, and other images that suggest a kind of searching or seeking. However, the singer also acknowledges that sometimes the answers they find might not be real, or might be different than they expected. This creates a sense of uncertainty and tension that runs through the entire track.
Overall, “Closer to Real” is a song that speaks to the experience of trying to find meaning and understanding in a world that can often feel confusing and chaotic. The lyrics are cryptic and poetic, but the emotional weight behind them is clear.

I wasn't clubbing much for a few years in the mid to late '90s. When I started going out again "Annie, Would I Lie to you" was one of the greatest tracks of the new synthpop sound. That was great, but his voice has matured a lot over the years in an awesome way.

Sometimes a song is so good that I hold my breath when listening to it and then I pass out, this song made me do just that.

I was first introduced to Iris at the Legends of Synthpop show in Los Angeles in 2011. They opened for De/vision and Mesh, each of which I love, and had been waiting to see live for years. I can honestly say I enjoyed Iris more than either of those two, and I had never heard them before that night. So glad to hear there is a new album in the works for 2016.

What a great band, I'm so glad I've found Iris few years ago and it's been one of my favorite bands so far, all the songs make me shiver.
