I see a lot of people associating this song with a relationship but to me it really resonates with my struggles with addiction. Sometimes this song can bring me to tears, so happy to be sober now and out of that dark place addiction brings you to. I got love for all the addicts out there and their struggles when the times get rough. Give yourself a chance, it gets better.

[@desireebanuelos6694]

Thisss!!! 💯

[@keenbot92]

Congratulations on sobriety brother! I made it a year myself on nov 16th. Much love my dude 💜

[@luishenriquez8824]

I feel the same way but instead of addiction I’m struggling to find happiness since I lost my grandma and my family is slowly becoming more and more distant. I need my brothers and to me they are going through depressions, each one struggling in their own ways trying to make a better life for themselves. But I will get through this and bring them up, I love this song and it has helped me.

"lie after lie, so many times. When I'm just trying to find a piece of mind." _you can feel the frustration in his voice. Like, why can't people just be real to one another?

[@AstralLights]

The pain is throughout the entire song... Compassion when. We have love for another when it all adds up...

What harmonica key is he using anyways? I was thinking about buying one.

I remember my ex dedicated this song to me and I can still feel the happiness I did back then listening to it now.

So relaxing, I swear I was lost before I found this genre of music

[@raymondpratt4467]

Jeez, I’m 68 and really enjoying Rebelution’s work. Love this one, so smoooooooth 😊

[@YourCommonSinner]

Everyone seems to have different reasons for living and understanding this song. For me it really is about learning the truth about the world we live in so we can live how we were truly meant to live before the corruption of the mind, body, and spirit. Also i find it very easy to relate to your most passionate relationship with a significant other.

[@winta5x]

[@TheRealPots]

Lyrics for "Closer I Get" (feat. John Popper) People say it just doesn’t matter but, The Closer I Get, I’m giving in, I can’t escape, damn what a shame. Listen to me just for a minute, I can be quick no gimmick. I’ve got a plan we should live it. The Closer I Get, I can't relate, This ain’t our place, let us go far far away. Find a new home, rules of our own, you and me both are the same. Try to be strong, baby come on now, come on. Lie after lie, so many times, when I try to find a peace of mind. I’ve got love for you when the time gets rough When all the stress adds up, When you say “I’ve had enough”. Got love for, you when the time gets rough. When all the stress adds up, When you say “I’ve had enough”. Whatever happened to the good times? We should create for ourselves, not rely on. They’ll never get a hold of me. Simple you see, simplicity. Yeah, the Closer I Get, I can't relate, I can’t escape, oh the pain. I’ve been lied all the time, when I'm tryin’ to find a peace of mind. I’ve got love for you when the time gets rough. When all the stress adds up, When you say “I’ve had enough”. Got love for, you when the time gets rough. When all the stress adds up, When you say “I’ve had enough”. Yes I found my own way out, I’m going all the way, Until the people all find out, They're going all the way down.

[@IntoThePromiseLAND]

i'm so glad i listened to this song again! it gives me a broader perspective on how I am able handle relationships so were both winners, instead of hiding how i honestly feel. I don't have to keep breaking hearts, slowly killing mine at the same time.

[@jackmckenna2466]

Deep... Relating to u..

[@williamshackleford4377]

Veremalus I relate to that. actually a life lesson I'm currently dealing with right now

[@fabianpadilla7381]

That harmonica solo lives in my soul now. Cant get enough of it even years after I first heard it. I wish the song didn't fade out and we just heard John kill the harmonica for another 5 minutes to that slow and beautiful beat. Always find myself coming back to this amazing song

[@sillachessie4525]

This song will always remind me of that moment i held you in my arms. That one minute just between us. And your madness and pain was far away. I will miss you my love. Maybe one day we can meet again without breaking each others hearts.

That voice... reaches into my soul

[@JoeyCoscia]

rebelution produces nothing but art, this song is so dam chill. Their whole album is really divers i think it has many different sounds and vibes in each song. I love the burnt record sound on this track, thats what makes it so chill and nice, and shows why rebelution is a great band. These guys kick ass live too!

[@chris88888]

When he says “I’ve got love for you when the time gets rough”. Feels like I hear God saying that to me. God Bless you Rebelution

JOHN POPPER AND THAT SOLO!!!! O.O

[@theguynamedgio]

I love John popper on harmonica he is honestly one of if not the most amazing harmonica player out there. I just wish he sang more in this song. like a whole verse. he's got such a great voice.

[@estar_702]

My Love, my man, just got a job as a truck driver and will be gone for long periods of time. This song just reminds me of how close we have gotten and how much I treasure the time we do have together. I'll always feel connected with him on a spiritual level.

[@kcpaintballer92]

My girl just left me, total bull shit. This song always calms me down, especially since I have PTSD. Rebelution for life

[@ronangaelicprince3239]

kcpaintballer92 hey brother I bet your life is better now I went tru the same thing 1 yr ago my ex girl told me she didn’t love me and I was suffering from my own ptsd from Afghanistan

[@synthiastewart1219]

kcpaintballer92 Hey kc oh I feel yeah with the relationship as well as man we both are of revolution lovers 24x7 they are way chill and I love them that’s all I hear on my Bose. Life is a shitty thing it’s all about perspective. No I’m not a psychologist or anything like that I’m 64 and throughout my life I have found that every day is a chance to grow and learn I always fell down and skinned my knees a few times but I’m standing still. Life is a roller coaster sometimes it’s fun and sometimes it’s not fun life was never meant to be a fun thing. You have it going on you can’t be a bad person if you love rebelution they’re the best. I indulge in myself all day till I go to bed with premium flour herb, just know get a vibe on your self you’re the only one that can do anything about how you are never depend on anyone else because they won’t be there one day when you need them. Be true to yourself! Peace~~one love 💜✌🏼🦋 Like Bob Marley said. Love, one another ✌🏼peace 🌞

[@letthepigsfly8591]

War ptsd, don’t have it. Stayed away because of the premise. Been in long relationships with toxic people and lost love, know that. Other bs nobody cares to hear, check. Rebelutions ability to induce a positive mindset, that’s why we are here.

[@redburkans4344]

Are you ok now?

[@atrehumble]

Just seen this and I know you are better now even though I know you probably wont see this I'm still going to take the time to write you to let you know that I feel for you brother. When you have god in your life no matter who is toxic and causes you life long pain god is always there to calm the souls if you listen to him. I firmly believe In my heart this is why they make this music. To bring people together to let us know we are not alone. Love all you and God, god bless

[@kevinmanikam6326]

Specially this song will and always be a part of me, helping me a lot in a difficult period of my life. Respect to the band and your music Rebelution

[@wesleyducker4321]

This song is dope and I'm 44 saying this right now but a never heard anybody play the harmonica like John Popper. Stevie Wonder is a genius at it too but John takes this to a totally different level. The last few notes John did before the song went off was angelic. I didn't think someone could actually manipulate a harmonica like that. Born talent. Thank you John Popper! PEACE

[@johnjohnfofohniam]

JCP... what an awesome guy

[@shifthayashi4027]

Seen them live a few years ago, first album. Been in love ever since and recommend to everyone in life! So much talent between these guys. Keep it up!

[@Diplife10]

this is by far my fav song by them

[@xeorge]

this song is a really good pair of sunglasses each song is a different scope uniquely tinted by it's own vibe, you look at life trough them when you're REALLY listening, life becomes a movie where you're not really limited to your body in the aspect of experiencing everything around you, you aren't your body anymore, you could be that car ur listening this in, the road the mountain, the whole energy gets embedded and u feel everything and i love those moments, great song

[@lasdla]

I can't stop listening to this!!!!!

[@816am2]

I can't stop listening to over and over
