A Father's Unwavering Love and Longing

JP Cooper's song "Closer" is a heartfelt ode to the deep bond between a parent and their child. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and dedication, as the singer expresses a desire to be physically closer to their child to provide comfort and protection. The repeated refrain, "Don't you know I wish I was closer," underscores the emotional distance that the singer feels, despite their unwavering commitment to being there for their child in spirit.

The song is rich with imagery that highlights the nurturing role of the parent. Lines like "I'll lift you on my shoulders" and "If you're feeling low, I'll hold you" paint a vivid picture of a parent who is always ready to support and uplift their child, both literally and metaphorically. The mention of the child being "daddy's little soldier" and "mother's handsome knight" adds a layer of endearment and pride, emphasizing the child's importance and the parent's protective instincts.

JP Cooper's soulful delivery and the gentle, melodic arrangement of the song enhance its emotional impact. The lyrics also touch on the theme of light and darkness, with the child being described as carrying a light that dispels shadows. This metaphor suggests that the child's presence brings joy and hope to the parent's life, making the physical distance even more poignant. The song beautifully captures the essence of parental love, the sacrifices made, and the deep yearning to be close to one's child.
