Alex Clare - Too Close - Live Session

Here's a live performance for In:Demand of Alex Clare stripped back to just him and his guitar.

[Michemilyful]

Do you ever pretend you're singing a duet with I do

[ЕваЛысая]

The best of the best musician ever!!!! Определённо неэпически КРУТ!!!!

[juliababyy]

When I first heard this song, I pictured him as a strong independent black man who don't need no woman...

[Никита-иэъ]

I saw this video and immediately decided to review the clip. A song for all time

[asalsy]

better than the public release, just amazing version and should have been the single

[HAWAIIAN]

I really love this version of the song. I had never heard the song until last week on AGT when Miguel Dakota sang it with just a guitar. He sang it beautifully and I now have become an Alex Clare fan after hearing the song and watching his vids.

[caliyork]

his voice on this version sounds so similar (even better) to the original one, it's a proof that this guy doesn't use auto tunes unlike most of artists nowadays. And he CLEARLY doesn't need it !

[dogruler]

dude. he is an orthodox Jew... and don't dis the beard, they never get enough credit.

[wadealden]

I like the little Am7 snuck in there. I don't think the radio version has that.

[plitzable]

This is a song that the world need to hear nowadays.

[Jesusluntic]

So they definitely didn't end up auto tuning in the original. He's so fantastic.

[MEGANannox]

you could literally close your eyes and have this played to you, you'd think the cd was being played! amazing and unique voice!

[upendasana]

love this guy, I have a CD of his and I love it, he needs more exposure I think.

[FeudalMoon]

That's because the music industry is full of greed. They don't really look for talent anymore, they look for something they can sell, only a few truly talented people get through these days.

[geoffreyvio]

You know I'm not one to break promises
I don't wanna hurt you, but I need to breathe
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend
But there's something inside that I need to release
Which way is right, which way is wrong?
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're headed separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way
You've given me more than I can return
Yet there's, oh, so much that you deserve
Nothing to say, nothing to do
I've nothing to give, I must live without you
You know we're heading separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing that I can really say
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way
So I'll be on my way

[TheKHUE]

It seems to me that part of his "soul" is in the dubstep version. Not all electronic music lacks inspiration and/or feeling

[GottHoldNicetomeet]

Not bad, but without the dubstep elements, it sounds like an average Chart song transformed in acoustic.

[rosalisenthaler]

I love it when the quality of the voice is on the cd as good as live but when there is also a thing called "feelings" (which sadly gets left behind nowadays) and which can't be captured by any computer...that is just simply amazing

[theashbernal]

HIs beard though! I hadn't seen the man behind this song and I formerly thought it was Chester See. Pretty bummed but this guy has talent!

[KaiDown]

alex clare is singing from the beard, he uses the hobo man as a ventriloquist
