I'm 16. Forgive me that I wasn't alive at the time. And I have a question.
Well, simply, the album 'Closer' by Joy Division, has become a favourite of mine over the past 2-3 months. Wasn't a fan of it at first, but it grew on me (still working on Unknown Pleasures..)
But, I don't know how to pronounce the title, or what word it is 🤣🫢
Is it "Closer", as in, something/ someone that closes something, or is it "Closer" as in, when you're nearer to something?
No embarassment needed. I was well born at the time but never even thought of it. I always assumed it was Closer as in a person who closes a deal (or an album that closes a bands career).

I have only ever heard it pronounced like 'closer' as in 'nearer' or 'not so far away' (so with a soft s rather than a z like one)...
I am inclined to think that I am right purely because the expression 'closer' (as in someone who closes something) is not very common in the UK/Manchester (or at least wasn't 30 years ago)... but I don't know for sure so am happy to be corrected if it is wrong!

^^ Same. People don't much say closer, as in something which closes something, in the UK so I assumed closer as in close to. _________________ Shut up mate you're boring!
I have wondered myself in the past. And I wasn't quite sure either. I think both work and that maybe intended. Fridge Brilliance? You heard of it? They both work!
