"Close to Me" is a song by English rock band the Cure, released in September 1985 as the second and final single from their sixth album, The Head on the Door.

Boris Williams is clapping to the beat, keyboardist Lol Tolhurst is playing a very small, handheld keyboard, and Porl Thompson on the top shelf is plucking a comb to represent the short high-pitched guitar notes.

Tim Pope later revealed that Gallup had a light bulb in his mouth to create a "lit from within" feel, and the cloth was there to hide the wire.

As they go into the sea, the wardrobe fills up slowly with water, like a capsized ship, but the band members continue to play their "instruments."

The video ends with the wardrobe full of water and a band member pushing a rubber duck across the screen.

He [Tim Pope] ended up dropping the wardrobe – with us still in it – into a huge tank filled with 1000 gallons of water.
