Song of the Day: Closing Time
Closing Time by Semisonic. While pretty much everybody has heard this song at some point in their life, probably not too many would have been able to guess the band. And that’s because they were more or less a 1 hit wonder. But hey, at least they had a hit. And not only a hit back in 1998 when it was released and it was nomiated for a Grammy, but the song seems to still be relevant in pop culture over 20 yrs later. From making appearances in movies to Andy Benard playing the song everyday at 5 oclock once he becomes manager in The Office to sporting events featuring the song at the end of the game. Closing Time has and continues to do well for itself, so hey that’s something for Semisonic to hang their hat on. For some reason this always feels like a song that is by The Verve.
