Yell At The Clouds - "Closer" by The Chainsmokers

“Closer” by the Chainsmokers is one heck of a memorable song. I hate it like Duterte hates respectability, but I’ll be damned if I call it forgettable and dull. In fact, despite its stupid f***ing lyrics, or that soulless bleepity-bloop drop that seems to come out straight from an EDM version of Puff Daddy, or the fact that the male singer sounds like he just came home from an all-night rave and was forced to sing the song because their label was trying to rush out the single before the end of the summer, it’s still quite an unique song, one that will probably live in the annals of 2010s nostalgia far off in the future. POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THE SONG: The song is basically about an alcoholic asshole and a shallow lady meeting after four years and then having a one-night-stand in the back in his/her Land Rover. Before I get negative, let me just say that I really like the fact that they give us enough details about these two people that we can extrapolate their character base...
