I thought Josh's first cd, Josh Groban, was amazing, but when I heard Closer my mind was blown away. Each song is a jewel in itself. To begin with, the words are artistic, beautiful, and meaningful. Take the song, "You Raise Me Up". At the core it is a thank you from one person to another for all their support. Yet, as you listen you realize it is also a song about personal strength; how one friendship or one love could empower someone "to be more than [they think they] can be". I loved this cd because his smooth voice and soulful singing brought to life the emotions I had thought only lived in movies. I love this cd because there is a depth to it that I don't see in other cds, it's as if I am listening to a lover speak to his love. This cd is a must have. Josh has proven that there is such a thing as quality music.
