Missing Persons - The Closer That You Get Lyrics

The album is pure pop perfection 💖

Excellent album 👍 musican's on another level...

I haven't lost my way. I have what I want. I know my destination is glorious. It is easy.

Proper 80's

This is about the koolest and BADASS intro song of any album I've ever heard!

Check out At First Light tucked in there.
Amazing band.

link please

I see this band and this album have never got justice. The closest a full album of their best, this album, is available, is this collection, and their best song, a sleeper, "surrender your heart" is missing.. figures.

even my husky Achilles was a fan !

crummy album cover didn't help sell this album either

The album cover rocks as does the album itself.

Any cover with Dale on it is awesome. I liken it.

Amazing album. Did not get the accolades it deserves!

+Ben Okelley AGREED!

Bad ass song and group. One of the best.

DALE BOZZIO

it seems like the real 80's only lasted about 4 or 5 years

Very true, JANXDPDX...I would say the heart of it was from 1982 - 1986, for me, at least. While there was still a lot of great 80’s music that came out from 87-89 (Depeche Mode, et al), popular Rock music had moved away from the heavy electronicization we hear on this track (and album), which was characterized by the use of Simmons drums and FM synthesis. These tools and their subsequent developments became the facilitators of Rap Music, later to be termed ‘Hip-Hop’, and Club/Dance Electronica/House Music. Also, in my case, I had returned to my Hard Rock roots after 1986 and there was certainly some great music still coming down the pipe in that genre...until it was overpowered by the aforementioned. Cheers!

Found this tape at some store in 1989 for 50¢. So glad I got it because it played non-stop in my tape player the summer of 89. My fave new wave band ever!

Jennifer Maynard Yes!! It’s a great summer album, in’t it? I bought it at Starwberries in Boston in 1984 at the end of my first year of college. It was a beach staple then and has remained a quintessential Summer favorite ever since. God Bless Dale Bozzio...she is a true innovator and creative icon of the highest order whose influence on later female pop artists is a vitally important contribution...she paved the way for the likes of Lady Gaga and many others.

Missing Persons on top of their game. Bad-ass!

Oh, yeah.

this c.d. sells for a rediculous sum on amazon... glad i have the original l.p.

6 years later and the price is STILL jacked up.

Thanks for keeping this alive, I dont know where my cassette is but this is working!!!

Along with 'Give,' 'Closer' is my favorite 'Rhyme' tune. In fact, this track and 'Give' sort of form one song as together, they open the album powerfully.

great audio. thanks.
