Overall Meaning

"Too Close" by Next is a song about being irresistibly attracted to someone while dancing intimately with them. The song details the experience of dancing slowly with a partner and feeling their body up against yours, causing sexual excitement that becomes impossible to ignore. The lyrics suggest a sexual tension between the two partners and a growing sense of desire that the singer is struggling to control.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the physical sensations of grinding and slow dancing, as the singer admits to being unable to resist the arousal that comes with it. The lyrics are very explicit, indicating a strong sexual desire that is becoming increasingly difficult to contain. However, the tone of the song is also flirtatious and playful, suggesting that the singer is enjoying the experience even as they struggle to resist it.


One interpretation of the song is that it is about the conflicting emotions that can arise when two people are physically attracted to each other but unsure about how to act on that attraction. The lyrics suggest that the singer is both drawn to the subject of the song and a little intimidated by their powerful sexual energy. The tension between these two emotions creates a sense of urgency and excitement that drives the song forward.

Im a versatile musician from Cape Town South Africa...( referred to as Cape kallit - coloured 😂😂)

I admire what black Americans ( to be particular ) has done with music ...
The invention of Rhytm & Blues in the earlier years , layed an exellent platform for what we heard during the late 80's up until the early 2000's ..

These guys ...( musicians , singers , producers , the dancing , the clothing , the marketing etc ) , have all contributed to my own repetoir and knowledge of music , as a whole ...Their influence opened my eyes to a much more bigger world than i was accustomed to..

From the steady , solid bassdrum ( that is emphasized upon , A LOT ) , to the minor guitar riffs , the smooth piano / keyboard chords , the slick bass guitar moves....
I simply love it..

This song here , is a typical example...Its execution is perfect ...every detail ...even the videography...👌👌...This is art of a different form
