"Gonna Get Close to You" turns up on Rage for Order, Queensrÿche's 1986 album, and the writing credit, words and music alike, goes to Dalbello rather than to anyone playing on it. Geoff Tate sings lead and plays keyboards, Chris DeGarmo and Michael Wilton handle the electric guitars, Eddie Jackson is on bass and Scott Rockenfield on drums, while DeGarmo, Wilton and Jackson stack up the backing vocals behind Tate.
Producer Neil Kernon sat in on extra keyboards himself, so the track has two sets of hands on the keys to go with its two guitarists.
