Close è il sesto album in studio della cantante britannica Kim Wilde pubblicato nel 1988. Partiamo dal presupposto che questo album alla sua uscita aveva riscontrato un grande successo per la variazione delle canzoni alcune sono molto pop rock e altre un pò più pop come "Hey Mister Heartache" che secondo me non è male come canzone non è la piu bella del disco ma comunque molto apprezzata la seconda e forse quella che conosco tutti il suo cavallo di battaglia "You Came" molto bella e sopratutto una canzone che ti rimane in mente facilmente avendo il ritornelo che si ripete più volte forse "You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around" secondo me non è male e lavorata molto bene sopratutto adatta anche per cantarla in pubblico. Passiamo alla seconda la Ballad dell'album "Four Letter Word" classico pezzo d'amore molto usato nel pop diciamo che a me non piace un granchè come canzone troppo melensa. Inceve passiamo a davvero a quello che si può dire il capolavoro dell'album la stupenda "Love in the Natural Way" amo questa canzone o perso il conto delle volte che l'ascolto a manetta in camera. "Love's a No" non mi dice un granchè diciamo che è una classica canzone d'amore come già ci fa notare il ititolo quindi non aggiungo altro per non dilungarmi. Never Trust a Stranger la piu veloce dell'abum ma la passerei via veloce non mi piace un granchè. You'll Be the One Who'll Lose altro capolavoro dell'album mi piace molto come si è lavorato molto sull'intro della canzone e molto apprezzabile bello come la batteria entri molto piano diciamo che qui assomiglia quasi al genere di "Belinda Carlisle". "European Soul" e un altro pezzo che amo molto di questo album molto particolare ma davvero piacevole ascoltare mentre si viaggia ti accompagna e sopratutto ti trasmette delle emozioni ed è proprio quello che dovrebbe fare la musica trasmettere qualcosa vi consiglio di ascoltarla. "Stone" non mi piace e non sto neanche ad a soffermarmi tanto la passerei via e andrei subito a quella successiva la stupenda Lucky Guy molto bella e sopratutto pensata per chiudere questo capolavoro di album che consiglio di avere insieme a "Love Moves" album successivo.

spero di essere stato bravo nella recensione

01   Hey Mister Heartache (04:36)

Written by Kim Wilde & Steve Byrd

Darlin' don't you know I've had enough
Wasting all my time
Darlin' put it on the line
Cos I heard you lying time and time again
Ooh and I don't want to any more
This is where our loving has to end
Darlin' now you know the score
So goodbye Baby

Hey Mr Heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey Mr Heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Darlin' don't know what you're looking for
But I'm not waiting around to see
Darlin' can't take any more
I still love you but I'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos I know I can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Hey Mr Heartache how much can you fake
How many hearts break before you get enough
Hey Mr Heartache you don't give you just take
I hope for your sake you don't turn your back on love

Listen to me, so listen to me
Ooh baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Cos I was stupid to believe
You could give me what I need
You use anyone you can
Yet you call yourself a man
We'll seen through your disguise
And it's all that I despise
Now you've just run out of time
Go before I change my mind

Hey Mr Heartache, cos I love you baby
Hey Mr Heartache I still love you baby

I still love you but I'm gonna set you free
Ooh that's the way it's got to be
Cos I know I can't change you anyway
Darlin' there's nothing left to say
But goodbye baby

Junior:You don’t know what I’m going through
You got me wrong, oh so wrong
Think you’ve sown me up
But you’re so wrong
I want you girl, all the time
Come on now
You don’t know what I’m going through, baby

02   You Came (04:34)

03   Four Letter Word (04:03)

I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye it's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad - it's the pits of the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can bring it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Is it all a game
She wonders why
Why it had to start
Why should it end, and take her apart

Because she shows it
She knows it
But what can she do, it's a four letter word
Because it shakes you
It breaks you
And when it's the end, it's the worst thing you heard
It's over now
And nothing you can do can bring it back

Calling out his name
She starts to cry
Guys are all the same
She wants to die
Hide away the tears
No-one will see, and no-one must hear
But oh

How can the love that she has be profain
And how can something that's so beautiful
Just Jeckyl and Hyde around
It's so sad...

I tell ya
It's hell yeah
When love says goodbye
It's a four letter word
Because your heart knows
When love goes
The feeling is bad
it's the worst in the world
It's sad but true
When nothing you can do, can get it back

Standing in the rain
She starts to cry
Shouting out is name
Four letter words

04   Love in the Natural Way (04:17)

05   Love's a No (04:17)

06   Never Trust a Stranger (04:06)

I knew there was a danger
But couldn't resist
The touch of a stranger
The thrill of his kiss
Cos this time
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

My world is in pieces
You've stolen my pride
And I'm left defeated
And crushed by your lies

Like a tiger you hunted and tracked me down
Savaged my soul and took over control
And then when you'd used all the love you found
You left without trace
Not a note or a single goodbye
I thought it was love
I thought it was heaven
Having the time of my life
I know it's not true

Oh never trust a stranger with your heart
Oh no, never trust a stranger with your heart

07   You'll Be the One Who'll Lose (04:32)

08   European Soul (05:21)

09   Stone (04:43)

Most people wake
From a nightmare to find
Everything's great
It was all in their mind
So am I still sleeping
Or is this all real
If I keep on pinching myself
Will the fear disappear, oh no

It's like a stone hanging over our heads
Ready to blow
Cos this is our time
You've got to believe
That it's yours and it's mine
You can't close your eyes to the lies
Perpetrated by dangerous fools
Cos they're handing out rules
Like a prophecy chiselled in stone
Stone
They're carving out our fate
Why can't they leave us alone
Stone, stone
And messing up the world
They've got to leave it alone

They've signed on some paper
To end all the fear
But this propaganda
Is perfectly clear
They're still building and testing
But what can we do
Condemning the seas
And the land and the trees to a tomb
Oh no

It's like a stone hanging over your heads
Where do we go
Cos this is your time
You've got to believe
That it's yours and it's mine
You can't close your eyes to the lies
Perpetrated by dangerous fools
Cos they're handing out rules
Like a prophecy chiselled in stone
