about

Set to a lush background of legato strings, vibes, Hammond organ, and
funky guitar trills and stabs, "Closer to the Win" reaches into the early 1960's pop-soul bag with a fabric of rich vintage tones. A touching homage to the beauty of AM radio and 45 rpm records. Laura Rain's passionate soul-drenched delivery tells a story of her quest for personal achievement, and inner happiness.

lyrics

I left my rings in LA
Left my car there too
And I started my life back in Detroit
Looking for something new, yeah yeah
I have lived so many different ways
So many different times
I am here to tell all you people
I’m not so pretty in my state of mind
You can see where I’m coming from
I just got to get on with the new
Yes I do

I left one life And started a new
But I’m trying to find my way
I’m still after the same things
I keep on searching
Am I getting closer Am I getting closer

I want to win
Am I getting closer
I want to begin
Always looking from the outside
Never in
I want to be closer to the win

I’ve been trying to reach myself
It's been so long
I still dont know
where I begin
I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know what to do

I left one life
And started a new
But I’m trying to find my way
I’m still after the same things
I keep on searching
Am I getting closer Am I getting closer

I want to win
Am I getting closer
I want to begin
Always looking from the outside
Never in
I want to be closer
To the win

I am only trying to tell you
Maybe you wonder how I am
But I’m sitting here
And I’m wondering
How to get in
I want to win

I want to win
Am I getting closer
I want to begin
I want to win
Am i getting closer
I want to begin
Am i getting closer, am i getting closer, am i getting closer, (repeat)
