MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

Released just a month earlier…
by April 26th of 1998…

Semisonic’s “Closing Time”
was already becoming the last call anthem
in bars and college towns everywhere.

(Music Cut #2)

But – it’s not really about last call.

Not entirely.

(Music Cut #3)

Lead singer Dan Wilson said the idea came from something else –

Similar to getting pushed out at 2:00 AM…
into the bright lights and into the outside world.

Kind of like…
being born. So yes, a last call for childbirth

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from.” – Semisonic
