        爱情的魔力在于那若即若离间的诱惑感觉。当你步步紧随，她却飞驰而去，教你望尘莫及，唏嘘伤悲。而当你无心插柳，她却又绕指缠绵，撩拨心弦，令你欲罢不能。德国独立唱片厂牌老虎鱼(Stockfisch)旗下民谣歌手史蒂夫·施特劳斯(Steve Strauss)在一曲「切望之歌」(Closer)中，以他醇厚中性的嗓音同吉他手克里斯·琼斯(Chris Jones)默契配合，传神演绎了"closer"与"loser"那一步之遥的得意与无奈。

You gotta fold'em on the table
我看你还是把相片收起
When you hold and loose in hand
何必心神不定攥在手里
But he says come and have a look at how she glitters
可他却说 她是如此神采奕奕
And tell me that you are not gambling me
你没骗我 颦笑含情教人着迷
The closer you get, the faster she runs
你靠得越近 她跑得越快
The faster she runs, the further you go
她跑得越快 你走得越远
She slips through your hands and she flies like an arrow
从你指缝滑过 迅疾如箭
She speeds away laughing
微笑着远逝

There's a picture in her pocket
她袋中的泛黄照片
Of memory old and grey
向你诉说时光记忆
She says there is too many nights until tomorrow
明日尚且遥遥无期
Yeah, Yeah
耶  耶
And so many miles from yesterday
昨日却已相隔万里
The closer you get, the faster she runs
你靠得越近 她跑得越快
The faster she runs, the further you go
她跑得越快 你走得越远
She slips through your hands and she flies like an arrow
从你指缝滑过 迅疾如箭
She speeds away laughing
微笑着远逝

When she moves no I can hold her
我无法阻止她的离去
No poets tongue her beauty traits
她的美未曾写入诗卷
But the blind men turn their heads to see
却能使盲人回眸留恋
Yeah, Yeah
耶  耶
And fever burns inside of me
唤醒我心中休眠火山
{The closer you get, the faster she runs
你靠得越近 她跑得越快
The faster she runs, the further you go
她跑得越快 你走得越远
She slips through your hands and she flies like an arrow
从你指缝滑过 迅疾如箭
She speeds away laughing}(bis)
微笑着远逝
