Closer
This is a movie I really really liked even though the characters were not likable per se. But the story was very compelling and the dialogue was brilliant. Definitely one of my favorites of 2004.
If you haven't heard the main song from the movie it's by Damien Rice and it's called The Blower's Daughter. I downloaded it from itunes. It's such a moody and great song. It suits the movie perfectly. This movie doesn't really have a soundtrack since there is really only one main song in the movie. Thank god for itunes!
I'm not one to post lyrics but here they are....
The Blower's Daughter
Damien Rice
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
Another song associated with the movie is Caramel by Suzanne Vega. Another itunes purchase I'd definitely recommend. Once again the lyrics suit the movie very well.
Caramel
Suzanne Vega
It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long for you.
It won't do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true.
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;
But I don't know
how I would live with myself,
what I'd forgive of myself
if you don't go.
So goodbye,
sweet appetite,
no single bite
could satisfy...
I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;
But I don't know
what I would give of myself,
how I would live with myself
if you don't go.
It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long
for you.

Accidently stumbled onto here
when googling for the lyrics of The Blower's Daughter.
I'm from Singapore and I just watched Closer. It's a great song and the movie wouldn't be the same without it.

Wow, I thought this movie was a vulgar piece of crap, kind of like the sentence I just typed.

the shitty shit that shit the shit was a less vulgar movie. But thats just me. closer makes me want to make love to your wife so we can discuss how good it was in front of you. Very intelligent movie for those who can't read a book. But in my opion just adds to the degredation to our society.
I LOVE Dukes of hazzard!

I was also doing a random google search and stumbled into here..must agree with every word you said..this was one of the BEST movies ever and the 1st time I saw it, I had to instantly find out (and purchase) the song at the end...it haunted me.

The movie in a nutshell was exactly how Julia Roberts described "Aquarium". Accurate about life, love, and sex. It's a good movie with great actors, and "The Blower's Daughter" is my favorite song. The only thing is you realize how nauseating our world is. Lies, cheating, deception, hate, anger, lonliness, and how a lover can make you feel as if you are nothing and no one. We've all been there. I just wish people could learn from this movie.

Marian,
Thanks for posting the name, artist and lyrics of the song at the end of the film 'Closer'.
I have seen the film about 15 times and I love it!
I wonder why the Damian Rice song was not credited in the song credits?
Thanks for a great blog!

It was credited under the title - its the first song in the list. None of us realized it until we hit this website after Googling the song from the lyrics after watching the movie!
