Trivia

Interesting facts about Closer. By Songfacts.

Travis frontman Fran Healy told Jaxsta the story behind this song from the band's fifth studio album. "We had an apartment in New York and I got a little keyboard and was trying to write songs for what would be The Boy With No Name," he recalled. "I've got a very small family, and I was thinking about this idea of taking people for granted, you just get used to them being there. And you never really stop to go, wait a second… It was a song to remind myself that these people are amazing and I love them."


The album title was inspired by Healy and his partner Nora's struggle to name their newborn son. Healy emailed a photo of the baby (whom they eventually named Clay) to a friend with the caption "The Boy With No Name."


This was the album's first and most successful single, peaking at #10 in the UK. It was also a #1 hit in the group's native Scotland.
