Closer to the Stars

Hooked on glossy pictures and drugs I've never seen
We'll treat you with advice from a fashion magazine
One day she just walked into that magazine
I wonder if she'll ever come back
And they all said she would crack
They said her mind was one track,
Said she took it too far
You said you want to be want to be want to be want to be
Closer to the stars
- Soul Asylum
I love the drama of this song. The phrasing, delivery and melody are perfectly intertwined with each other. The rhythm of the guitar catches you like a wave, and you ride the wave with a smirk on your face like you were experiencing something that you know only a few can ever understand. And when the ride is over, you come back for more.
