Judas Priest - Close To You Lyrics

Too many slow and somber songs during the ripper years other than that, he is a really good singer. Just wish more of the material was better.

This album is 10 times better than jugulator. So, demolition really sucks - fairly sucks. It’s not the greatest

...and that's exactly 4 Jelena....✌👍

RIP to my cousin Jackie

an absolute hidden gem of a track from Judas priest

That’s Rob

Journeyman... Your choice if the song of iron maiden or the one of Bruce Dickinson's solo album. Different songs, but both are really good slower songs

Bruce Dickinson and Maiden have played songs from the Bayley era.

To The One's kicked out of everywhere?*

This song came out when my mom & dad passed away within a month of each otheri still cry when i hear it

Trump rules, this sucks!

this album is actually better than everything they did after the reunion

Thanks a lot, Ripper

Solo is very similar to solo on "Prisoner of your eyes".

I agree... But the guitar tone here sounds way better. I'd say that the tune they used back then (on prisoner's solo) messed it up

My best friend died a few weeks ago.....this was our favorite band. We played their songs on stage together as twin guitars for 7 years. When I lowered him into the ground the pain was unlike anything.

I can't see why this song isn't popular. Freakin' awesome. You can feel the pain.

This song goes out to my ex who is now my “friend”.

The most emotional and saddest song Judas Priest have ever done.

MrShadowflasher and considering it was sung by Ripper, that’s really saying something.

There is a lot of pain in this song......

Personally I think it's before the dawn or epitaph, those songs have a lot of emotional weight for me personally but this one is brilliant

Great shit,... Largely underappreciated..
First time I listen to it and I'm a fan for 7 whole years.

Awesome song!!!

Pharma companies just had to make them stronger to get to yall

Melted with horns in hand \m/

I thought both albums with Ripper are still great. Ripper didn't receive enough credit.

That's true!!!!

Best JP album ever.

PLEASE STOP MAKING VERSONS OF DIAONDS AND RUST AND PAY ATTENTION TO THIS GEM!!!

Hi i'm here again just to say...
Why this song wasn't popular? I mean, yeah it's from one of the most unpopular JP albums and it wasn't realized as single... but this song is just so good as Painkiller, Breaking The law or Electric Eye (or even better) and is one of the most forgotten Priest's songs, deserves more recognizement

Solo. Love

83. John j Hernandez. .

This is the ultimate break up song.

Taylor Swift wakes up every morning wishing she could write stuff like this one

Piereio Zashier Yes! I got friend zoned a few months ago and I found this song 2 months ago and I feel It.

Most underrated JP song my god

such a nice ballad, would love to hear a halford version of it.

what a great song

I First Heard this album when i was 8 years old
Thanks to my uncle 😌

awesome song :D

So many years that we were one
So many things we've done
The memories alive
But most of me has died

As I struggle with events
I'm offered words of strength
They do not comprehend
The passion we possessed

People tell me what to do
Tell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No one else comes close to you

I see your eyes before they closed
They looked right inside my soul
And they asked me not to grieve
I tried but still I bleed

I wake up, I break up
I try hard to shake off
The desolation as it grows
As nothing else comes close

And as I stand here by the grave
And the wind calls out your name
I know that time could never heal
The emptiness I feel

People try to give me hope
Tell me how I should let go
But they'll never really know
'Cause there's nothing else comes close

People tell me what to do
Tell me how I should get through
But they haven't got a clue
No one else comes close to you

oh god how come I never heard this before? And I call myself a Judas Priest fan, what a shame for me! Epic song and the lyrics? Oh god, so powerful! Love it, just love it!

Same here!!!

Never too late....

great song 

no Halford? Sorry this is not Priest

take your head out of you your ass and shut up. Its not Halford but its not bad either

I understand but It's great album and Ripper is great too.

So what? Ripper is almost as great, if not better. I still like Halfords voice though.

fuck off then...

Yea I mean I guess to hell with Glenn, kk, Travis, and ian. This album is absolutely priest, just a different era of them

To my Uncle Fernie who past away two weeks ago. Rest In Peace.   :'(

4 mths late but sorry for your loss there.

This is the best song ever!!!!!

Muy Buena canción!!

Don't forget Scorpions, my friend

Underrated album ???
this is my all time favorite Judas pries album.

Very Underrated song. Solo is killing.
Solosuna aşık oldum şarkının.

[2:02-...]

Let's face it, Jugulator is shit! But Demolition has some really nice songs.

Yeah I only liked the first two songs off of Jugulator. This album though was really nice.

Jugulator (title track), Blood Stained, Death Row, Burn In Hell, Bullet Train, and Cathedral Spires are all masterpieces. How can anyone call them shit?

AverageSavage425 dude yes. If it weren't for the title track i would've never got my buddy into that genre of metal.

Let's face it, just priest made a lot of crap albums and songs during their career, but these two albums belong to the better half of their work. But I know many hardcore Rob Fans have a little trouble to accept that 😉

Infinite Dreams!

Up the irons!

Don't forget "Wasting Love."

Hell yeah, I thought there's nobody out there anymore loving that song.

Iron Maiden? kinda forgot that song existed.

Yes they do. Blood Brothers, The Evil That Men Do, Strange World, Paschendale (a little long and heavy but still of ballad nature), Dream of Mirrors, Brave New World...

Best ripper album. Jugulator had 1 good song. This one had like 4 good ones. Nobody could have had success replacing Halford. The mans a god.

" the memories is alive" I have cassette "Demolition"

what !? ripper this song written by glenn tipton to his wife

hermoso

No other heavy metal band wrote such great ballads! Not even Maiden.

Black Sabbath had nice ones especially with Tony Martin...funny,most never accepted and underrated vocals sings best ballads of some great bands...

This is fucking GREAT!I had no idea this album was any good.

sad... ! but amazing !

This one makes me die happily:-)

So damn underrated album...both: this and jugulator!!!! Great, great song!!!!

@NRXXIII Easily, even when he was 50

Sounds like Prince is singing!!!

@HHL1967 thats why its a good song

@hermygagala yeah i guess so lol

@AntiCookieMonster i guess your the first jackass xD

@NRXXIII they are so different i don't see either of them attempting.

@AntiCookieMonster Hahaha... very good dude!

Absolutely sensational. I don't even know what you would classify this as. Would it be a ballad?

It's great that there are no comments here from some jackass mentioning Justin Bieber for no apparent reason ...oops!

@icedone08 halford rules! rippers ok

Awesome! Ripper Rules!
