Keith Urban has described his most recent release "Get Closer" as an intimate view into his life with wife and Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.
 
"There's just more love in this album, and that permeated everything and made the music deeper," he said. "I felt a tremendous sense of balance in my life as a husband, a father and a musician who gets to go and try to capture all that and harness it to create something."
 
And Urban describes one song in particular as his "life story," but surprisingly, he didn't write it. The song, "Without You," was penned by Dave Pahanish and Joe West. 
 
"It's crazy -- the fast cars and the guitars and the little girl coming along," he said about track five on "Get Closer." "It's an amazing song, and I would have never allowed myself to write it."
 
Urban is getting ready to kick off his "Get Closer" tour in the United States, Canada and Australia and mentions his inspiration comes from performing live.
 
"The beautiful thing about playing live is that everybody is in that moment, singing along," Urban said. "There are total strangers singing with total strangers: the same song. It doesn't matter how many people, whether it's five or 50,000. It's people connecting and being in the moment. That's what it's all about."
