Moving Closer - Never the strangers

Never the stranger's hit single "Moving Closer" which was made famous by Close Up's TV commercial Moving Closer. When I first heard this song, thought this is a foreign band but was surprised when I searched it on YouTube. Never the Stranger was actually a Filipino band composed of four pinoy member named Ace Libre as lead vocals and keyboards, PJ LaViña on drums and percussion, Francis Victa on bass guitar and JP del Mundo on guitars.

With their album out under Warner Music Philippines, they confessed that they never thought they would hear their song being played on the radio nor on TV. They were happy enough with people LSS-ing (Last Song Syndrome) to their first single “Alive” from hearing it at their gigs.

Never the stranger - Moving Closer Lyrics

When you smile, everything’s in place

I’ve waited so long, can make no mistake

All I am reaching out to you

I can’t be scared, got to make a move

While we're young, come away with me

Keep me close and don’t let go

Inch by inch, we’re moving closer

Feels like a fairytale ending

Take my heart this is the moment

I’m moving closer to you

I’m moving closer to you

Who’d have thought that I’d breathe the air

Spinning around your atmosphere

I’ll hold my breath, falling into you

Break my fall and don’t let go

Inch by inch, we’re moving closer

Feels like a fairytale ending

Take my heart this is the moment

I’m moving closer to you

Inch by inch, we’re moving closer

Feels like a fairytale ending

Take my heart, this is the moment

I’m moving closer to you

Moving closer...

Closer to you...

Moving closer...

I’m moving closer to you
