Hard to believe it’s been over a year and a half since this incredible night in CDMX, we can still hear you all singing Secret Smile. Much love to all of our friends and fans across Central America, we can’t wait to cross paths again in the future! No podemos creer que haya pasado más de un año y medio desde aquella increíble noche en CDMX. Todavía los escuchamos cantar Secret Smile. ¡A todos nuestros amigos y fans de Centroamérica, los queremos y estamos deseando volver a encontrarnos! . . . #semisonic #cdmx #throwback #90srock
ESSA AQUI TOCOU EM TODOS OS LUGARES POSSÍVEIS EM 1998 “Closing Time” surgiu de um motivo bem simples: o Semisonic queria parar de encerrar os shows sempre com a mesma música. Dan Wilson se inspirou nos bares de Minneapolis, onde todo mundo ouvia o clássico grito de “hora de fechar”. Daí saiu um hino perfeito de última chamada. No meio da composição, a música ganhou um segundo sentido. Wilson percebeu que a letra também falava sobre recomeços e até sobre nascimento. Ele e a esposa estavam esperando o primeiro filho, e a ideia do bebê “ser mandado para fora” virou uma metáfora inesperada. O resultado foi um sucesso gigante: topo das paradas alternativas, indicação ao Grammy e presença constante na cultura pop, de The Office a Os Simpsons. Eai, você sabia dessa história?

@danwilsonmusic has been writing hits since his band #Semisonic topped the charts with “Closing Time.” Since then he’s had smashes with Adele, Chris Stapleton, and more. We asked Dan for the secret to remaining relevant after nearly 30 years. His answer, in true Dan Wilson style, is fantastic and inspiring.

“Closing Time” - Lançada em 1998 no álbum Feeling Strangely Fine, foi escrita pelo vocalista Dan Wilson. Apesar de parecer apenas sobre o fim de uma noite em um bar, com a famosa ideia de que “você não precisa ir para casa, mas não pode ficar aqui”, tem um significado mais profundo, pois foi inspirada no nascimento da filha de Dan Wilson, usando o “fechamento” como metáfora para o início de uma nova fase da vida. Se tornou o maior sucesso do Semisonic, ganhou grande destaque nas rádios e na MTV, até hoje é frequentemente interpretada de forma literal, sendo tocada em bares e eventos de despedida, mesmo carregando uma mensagem sobre mudanças e recomeços. #semisonic #clássicosdorock #rockanos90 #nostalgia #rock

Happy 25th Anniversary to “Feeling Strangely Fine,” the classic album from @semisonicband. The lead single, “Closing Time,” became a huge hit and has been an end-of-the-night anthem at bars for decades, but what is the real meaning behind this song? #semisonic #closingtime #90s #1998
The band Semisonic denounced the White House's usage of its hit song “Closing Time” in a social media post. #semisonic #trump #closingtime
It was hard to say goodbye to Kermit the Frog when we met him on the streets of London, but we had to get back on the road. Here’s “Singing In My Sleep,” 6 days later in Cardiff, Wales at the Cardiff International Arena. We could still hear him singing to us in our sleep. . . . #semisonic #throwback #90srock #alternative #minnesota #wales
