[3] Woods and Brewis also worked on an album which was never released. Their label mates Prefab Sprout and The Daintees were all keen to keep things fresh. “In the early days a conscious decision was made that each Kitchenware article was going to be the last,” explained Martin. “As a general policy we wanted to avoid being lumped together as musically acts that have little in common.” So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.

She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. Closest Thing to Heaven has had a profound impact on listeners since its release. Many have connected with its heartfelt lyrics and the mesmerizing melody, finding solace and understanding in the emotional journey the song takes them on. It has become an anthem for those seeking deep and meaningful connections and continues to touch the hearts of listeners across generations. 8. What is the main message conveyed in Closest Thing to Heaven? The Kane Gang were a trio of Geordies from different walks of life. Martin Brammer, who was the lead singer was formally a computer stationary salesman, Paul Woods was the guitarist and keyboard player who had previously worked as a journalist for the Sunderland Echo and David Brewis, who played all the other instruments, once worked in a record shop. All three had played in small local bands and in 1982 formed the Kane Gang, naming themselves after the 1941 movie Citizen Kane, and signed to a local label called Kitchenware. This song captivates me still, after 50+ years. Takes me to the deep South and the poverty of some who lived thru truly hard times. And the powerful spirit of a poor young girl being abandoned to her future with only a red dress and her wits to keep her alive.Closest Thing to Heaven stands out from other songs by Kane Gang due to its profound lyrical content and the intensity of the emotions it conveys. While the duo is known for their blend of pop and blue-eyed soul, this song carries a more introspective and contemplative nature, showcasing a different side of their artistic abilities. 6.

Paul Woods left the band in 1991 to embark on a solo career. He also worked with Brewis on an album which was never released. In 2004, after a lengthy hiatus, David Brewis teamed up with his brother Peter, who had previously been a drummer for the Futureheads, to form a new band called Field Music which in 2013 Al Kooper, former Blood Sweat and Tears member, claimed were his favourite group. The band's next album, Miracle, was released in 1987 and spawned two US hit singles: "Motortown" (No. 36 US / No. 45 UK) and another cover – this time of Dennis Edwards' " Don't Look Any Further" [8] (No. 64 US / No. 52 UK). The latter hit No. 1 on the US Dance Charts. [10]Martin Brammer interview". Zioshow.com. Archived from the original on 29 September 2007 . Retrieved 10 February 2011.
