about

‘I Can Only Get So Close’ is the product of a collaboration between Christof and Andrew Davie of Bear’s Den that has been long in the making. The seeds were planted some years ago when the two were living together in North London, with Christof explaining that, “One night, listening to music, I played the banjo part for Davie, which later became the song’s intro. Soon he created an acoustic guitar part, but the song took time to fully form”. It was only during the pandemic, after a few years of sporadically revisiting it, that the song’s message crystallised. In a time of such profound isolation, ‘I Can Only Get So Close’ expresses a yearning for kinship.
