Background edit

Capristo first presented "Closer" live on 20 July 2012. The song was issued to radios as the album's second single on 9 August. Capristo said of "Closer": "The song is intended to provide simple, that you are more happy about things that you have to remembers it and not taking anything for granted accepts. I also had the point in my life where all my material needs were met and I was not happy. As it did click and I reconsidered what is really important to me."[1]

Your friend saves her by jumping in front of them. Then he is taken to hospital and is in a coma. Capristo visits him every day and leaves him on little sticky notes love messages.
