"Too Close to Home", a song by Cindy Bullens, released as a single in 1979, written by herself and her friend Mark Doyle, why it could have gained more popularity rather than having it lesser-known and why it should have been a clean, decent pop hit instead of Godley & Creme's indecent song, "An Englishman in New York"
"Too Close to Home", performed by Miss Cindy Bullens, taken from her second album, "Steal the Night" is a heartfelt, melodic song with meaningful lyrics that capture the essence of life's struggles and the importance of family. The song’s message of love and resilience is universal and timeless.
It is much more accessible than Godley & Creme’s “An Englishman in New York” which is more of a novelty song. The original version of “Too Close to Home” was clean and appropriate for a wider audience, so instead of having it less popular to have limited promotional copies, it could have gained more traction if it was given a wider release. Additionally, Bullens was a talented female musician who had been successful in various genres, making her an ideal artist to promote for a pop hit.
