"I never heard that song before and once i heard it i did not care for it but that song means it's time to go home. Now it's my favourite song." - Stanley Hudson
It's 1998. You've just finished your shift at work. You're tired and sweaty and just want to go home. You get in your car and pop your Semisonic CD in the stereo. This song comes on. You start to head home, but on the way you stop for a few minutes at the park. It's dark, it's summer, there's no one else but you there. You step out of your car for a few minutes and just... breathe. Life is still good.
"every office needs an end of the day tradition, something to tell you the day's over otherwise you go home and the night just feels like more day. its weird" -andy bernard
YES! I heard an interview with the band when the song was newly released. My younger sister was then expecting her first child, and it became my "theme song" for my little niece or nephew-to-be! On the morning I found out my sister had delivered her daughter, I was driving to "meet" my niece, Olivia. The brilliant morning sun was rising; all seemed new and right in the world. All I could think is how much I'd love to hear this song, what a perfect soundtrack it would be to my travels. Well, the Universe complied and moments later I heard the opening notes. I just came on here to share this song with my now-grown niece and her partner because they're now expecting my little great-nephew. The song is particularly bittersweet as my younger sister, whose pregnancy two decades ago led me to love this song, recently took her life. The line, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" has become especially poignant. But the little one we await gives it meaning yet again. Life goes on... This song has been a backdrop to much that has been beautiful in mine!
During college, I worked early morning custodial in the chemistry building for a couple semesters and absolutely loved it. It was great to work alone cleaning classrooms and lecture halls because I‘d listen to interesting podcasts/videos/fun music and made sure to clean the southern classrooms in time to watch the sunrise over the mountains through the windows. But it was also fun to clean with the bathroom crew because we’d play music, tell stories, and joke together the whole time. At the end of every shift, one guy would play this song, so it carries good memories. I remember that once or twice some student on their way to class would hear this song and comment how it was only 8:30 am, not the end of the day, and we’d just kind of laugh about it. I loved being able to be up and productive in the morning and have things already accomplished early on, and I love how good and friendly everyone was at my school. Thanks for the good memories ☺️
I will miss all my friends and classmates, we only have 1week left to enjoy every single day of our school because soon we will stand on stage and say goodbye to everyone. I will miss every memories and experience we made as a family in our section. We are 4th year highschool, this is the best part of my journey as a student
+IronRAVENxvx I would say it reminds me mostly of late/night early mornings, but then again it does remind me of calm afternoons cause they'd play this everyday when they were shutting down the pool in the summer when we were kids. I miss those days.
Played on the intercom last day of school for 2008. I'd already loved the song but it became so much more as I realized this was the end of childhood, end of knowing those kids you grew up with as you venture out into the world. 12 years later, corona is ravaging the globe and old friends I havent spoken to in years are checking in. God I miss everyone.
I definitely know what you mean. They played this at my Great Aunts funeral a few months ago. The instant it started playing I CRIED. The nostalgia is hitting me hard.
Been singing this all day at work. After three years there, this was my last day. I said goodbye to working with some of my best friends. Then on my way home, what do I hear on the radio but this again. I'm rarely emotional, but it was one of the most bittersweet things I've experienced.
Who else has found themselves here on New Years Day? Rn I'm just remembering all of the fun I had, all the friends I made, the times where I was younger and still had hope and so much wonder for everything. I miss that a lot. Here's to the best decade of my life. And here's hoping those times will come back to me soon, To all of us.
@Ami Roquet Yeah. I'm still reminiscing about when i was younger, back in middle school. I used to come home every day and either hop on Black Ops 3 on PS4 or the more common one-Minecraft with my two best friends. We'd play that shit day and night with absolutely no responsibilities. My irl best friend moved away first year of highschool. And I lost my online best friend because of an argument the summer prior. I miss them a lot.
Lead singer Dan Wilson wrote this song in preperation for fatherhood. Said bar represents the womb, hence the line "this room won't be open until your brothers and your sisters come". He didn't reveal it until recently for fear that his bandmates would get sick of singing about his child lol.
This song came out around the time I started going to bars, and most of them played it at closing time at the end of the night. I only half jokingly say that this song was out for at least a year before the first time I heard it sober. Now, as a sober adult that only occasionally ventures to bars for musical purposes, and am now raising a family instead of raising hell, I can relate to this song on many different levels. Not that anyone here gives a shit, just thought I'd share.

Seventh grade. Dreading School, because I knew I'd be wading into a shark-infested pool. I wasn't rich, or handsome, or smart or cool. On the way to that daily grind, this song would play, and it would wash away my worries for a while, while I waited. It was this, Jumper, and One Week, for about six months or so
The iconic song is known as a song to close down a bar with. Wilson admits that "the greatest destiny for "Closing Time" is that it would be used by all bartenders, and it actually was. It still is." And while it might be, he realized while writing the song that, "it was also about being born. My wife and I were expecting our first kid very soon after I wrote that song.

Year 2050 School student: sir, how come our history books have every decade except the 1990's? Teacher: well, you see... Student:... Teacher: *looks down at the ground* only 90's kids will remember the 90's.
Nah it should go like this... Year 2050 Student: Why don't we have a history book on 2017 to 2025 Teacher: Because starting from 2017 to 2025, the history books were picked up to never be read since the world has became shit with people's actions and making shitty music. In fact the history books from 2014 to 16 should have been picked up too. Student: oh
Dale Earnhardt Sr winning the Daytona 500. Seinfeld series finale. France winning the world Cup. Phil Hartman's murder. Norm MacDonald fired by NBC and snl. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky's affair exposed. Matthew Shepard's murder. Us embassy bombings in Kenya. All happened that year in 1998
Gives new meaning to the end of something... Especially the last couple stanzas... End of high school or college, or any other "ending"... "every beginning comes from some other beginning's end"... YES yes and yes...
Love this song. Wasn’t even alive in the 90s I’m just starting high school but I work for a minor league baseball team and they play this after every game when we’re cleaning up the field.
I just read someone's post about her son who now is in the hospital suffering from depression, I search this song since she says that her son like this. Now I'm crying listening to this, being able to feel the pain of that boy and realising how we all want to escape from this misery. Need your prayers for his fastest recovery. May we all found our home
I hadn’t heard this track for so many years until I recently watched American Pie: The Reunion & then heard it on the final episode of Rules of Engagement a week later. Man I forgot how awesome this track was. Thank you Supersonic for finishing off the 90s in style.
A good coworker and a great friend of mine took his life yesterday. It's so surreal, I'm still struggling to believe that it's true. We used to always play this during close at work as in inside joke. We miss you. 💔
This song reminds me of bowling. When I was in high school, my friends and I would go bowling at night. We did that routinely every weekend. At the end of the night, the bowling alley would turn on the white lights and play this song signifying that it was “Closing Time”. I’m glad we were able to go bowling for your birthday, Beautiful🖤
I got in tears a bit when my favorite sports bar closed down and they played this song. Went there every night for a hangout. Went there on Wednesdays for karaoke, and Fridays and Saturdays for parties. Wasn't just a hangout, it was a stress reliever for me. Last night it was open was on my birthday last year. Had to shut down because of too many fights breaking out and too many police calls. Had a lot of good memories there. R.I.P. Z's Sports Bar in Piqua, OH
Dude I’d listen to this every day on the way to middle school on my iPod nano back in the day. I always timed it right so I’d have time to Finnish the song right before I got to school and I air guitared and air pianoed through the solo’s with pretty much zero shame. Good times man good times. Can’t wait to see what I remember so fondly from this time ten years down the line
I wasn't even born until the late 90's, but I still love this stuff. I regularly get classic Goo Goo Dolls, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. stuck in my head lol
My boss would make us sing this before we had to leave. One of my workers, Pam, could never remember this song. My other employee, Stanley, loved singing it because it was time to go home. My boss, Andy, graduated at Cornell and was in the Ocupella Group.
Everyones talking about how cool they are because they miss the 90s, and I'm just sitting here wondering why they miss it? The music is still here, that's the only thing they seem to miss. That's like saying you miss your mom or dad even if you live in the same town, just go visit them.
Yes the songs are still here, and we can all listen to these songs and remember moments of the past, but for me it isn't the same as living in the moment during the time songs like these were relevant.
Jennifer Hamels I'm not sure where you live, but around here, if you play closing time, or spokesman by goldfinger in a bar, literally everybody but the old guy drinking his sorrows away knows these songs. I'd say they're still relevant.
Sweet9964 One can listen to a song from any era and relate to the meaning of the song. I should have worded what I said differently because relevant was the wrong word to use. Listening to an old song that brings back memories from the 90s isn't the same as listening to the song in the 90s when it first came out that created those memories. As for your parent example. Yes, I miss my mom from time to time and I can go visit her whenever I want. But it isn't the same experience like when I saw her everyday growing up.
i miss it being on the radio for everyone to enjoy together and seeing the bands on tv and just being in the presence of it all...it's not he same to have to look back, but hey, at least it's still accessible for us to look back.
*sigh* You guys do realize this song is about a bar closing for the night, and then "Finding somebody to go home with". I mean, don't get me wrong, beutiful song, just making sure you guys know what it means... XDD
Digital Otaku sigh... the singer already confirmed he wrote this song about his anticipation of fatherhood. The song was cleverly disguised as being about a bar closing, but it's actually about leaving the mother's womb.
The first music break is the best part. To me, it symbolizes excitement @ first that then slowly turns into happiness. I'm sure that's how a lot of people feel when they meet that special someone.
This song has so many memories for me . My best friend and my nextdoor neighbour would play this song every time at a party that we invited them to our place as they go home . Maybe one day they will realise who this is and contact me my long lost neighbour friends .
Heard this song several times. Never knew lyrics or who sang it. This week I have learned both and it's my new favorite. Love it but it makes me feel sad and want to cry because I know in my heart that we will never be together and it hurts to even admit it to myself. To thine own self be true. I love you Laura."Cali".
Fun game: Take a drink every time someone in the comments whines about how "horrible" the state of music is today. Take a drink every time someone wishes they were born in the 90's. Take a drink every time someone reminds these people to settle the hell down and stop ruining *every single* old music video by acting like the 90's didn't also give us music like the damn Macarena and Vanilla Ice's entire discography. Jesus Christ. I can't wait to watch some 2009 music video one day and see comments like, "Now this was when they made REAL music! Not like these soulless musicians today!"
I don't even know how many years it's been since I've heard this song. Maybe over a decade. But today, out of nowhere, I suddenly got it stuck in my head. I love when my brain randomly reminds me of forgotten gems.
Last night I was at Walmart . They now close at 8:30 PM. They used to be 24/7. thanks to covid 19. I was in the check out at around 8:10 PM an they were playing this song over the PA. now this song will remind me of the days of covid 19 and all the changes. I cant wait for live to get back to normal. No more 6 feet apart. No more masks.
@@enlightenedboy lmao well the wedding never did end up happening but we are still together and still plan to get married one day, just not in a rush now... but I definitely still plan on playing these songs lol
Working at Friar Tuck Steakhouse in Conneaut Lake. The restaurant has been long demolished but back in the late 90s this song would come on when we are cleaning up to close the restaurant down. God I miss those days!
Man, what happened to music? I'm not saying this is the best song ever, but it's music with a soul. Unlike all the stupid dubstep songs nowadays. There was a time when people actually used instruments to create music.
I think you're just talking about the "in" music. There are individual, modern artists out there with soul. I recommend Cody Jinks, personally. Loud and Heavy & Hippies and Cowboys are my personal favorites.
I keep looking for a mashup between this and Time of Your Life because they share the 4 chords and beat, but no one's done it, and I know jack about doing one myself.
Today’s my day off and really planned not to go on a travel this weekend. Just taking my time to just rest in my room and emptiness strike in a sudden. I suddenly gets emotional cause I realized my friends has their own worlds now. I miss them so much and this song pops up in my mind then immediately searched this here. I’ll be turning 27 next week and hopefully we could reunite. 🍺
No, I’m not here from the office. I’m not here from any show or any movie, I wasn’t even alive in the 90s. I’m here from an old memory of middle school cross country, one of my friends singing this in the most voice-cracky, obnoxious voice ever. Good music has a way of finding you in the weirdest ways🙃
I’ve been playing this song during a break up of my marriage, it helps me to remind myself that all good things come to an end and every new beginning comes from someone’s beginnings end. My x wife and I are off on new explorations but I’m so sure we will remain friends for evermore. Sarah take care I will always be here if needed!
This song... this damn song... feels so amazing when you imagine it playing it in background or in your mind ...as you finally move on from whatever has been holding you down, be it heartbreak 💔 over losing someone or something ... and moving towards something better in life!
I would constantly be in the hospital and at every single discharge my doctors would start playing this since I’d sing it every night before bed because music was the only thing keeping me from missing home
A little message for you 2000s hipsters who want to be 90s or 80s kids. Like your generation the way it is because honestly it's only the nostalgia that makes people love their generation and make it out to be better than it was. Some day you'll look back and love your childhood.
I was sleeping one morning and i was having a "Bad dream" and my older sis decided to play this song while i was sleeping and i had a awesome good dream :) I honestly didny want to wake up ahhaa :) I love this song! Just thought i'd hsare this :/
My favorite mall along with my closest favorite store is closing for good next year. My favorite store just closed for good. This song really will always make me think of when I used to walk into the Walmart, F.Y.E , and Spirit Halloween. R.I.P, the Hanover Mall.
1990's were the last great decade and my favorite year in music is 1998 and even 1998 is a great year cause live through it and now I am almost 40 and know what the 90's were all about!
Was born in 1999, one of the last batch of 90's babies. Time passes really quick. It's 2016 now. Kinda feeling the nostalgia even though I wasn't there to experienced it.
Closing time, open all the doors And let you out into the world Closing time, turn all of the lights on Over every boy and every girl Closing time, one last call for alcohol So, finish your whiskey or beer Closing time, you don't have to go home But you can't stay here I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, time for you to go out To the places you will be from Closing time, this room won't be open Till your brothers or your sisters come So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits I hope you have found a friend Closing time, every new beginning Comes from some other beginning's end, yeah I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, time for you to go out To the places you will be from I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home I know who I want to take me home Take me home Closing time, every new beginning Comes from some other beginning's end

Teacher: well, you see...
Student:...
Teacher: *looks down at the ground* only 90's kids will remember the 90's.
hahahaha yesssss.
+Connor Byrne I love this!
Lol this is awesome.
+Connor Byrne so true
Nah it should go like this...
Year 2050
Student: Why don't we have a history book on 2017 to 2025
Teacher: Because starting from 2017 to 2025, the history books were picked up to never be read since the world has became shit with people's actions and making shitty music. In fact the history books from 2014 to 16 should have been picked up too.
Student: oh
this was played at the end of my 8th grade dance...literally 36 minutes ago from when I post this and I already feel nostalgia
Same for my 8th grade dance😂 Omg thats weird lol
My Dj at my dance was an old man with a backwards cap and played a song that was not fitting
same lol, me and my girlfriend hugged really tightly during this song lel
Pray4silence heheh, i don't have a girlfriend ;-;
OMG EXACTLY FOR ME TOO
I was born in 1998. I couldn't be more proud, I swear...
Dale Earnhardt Sr winning the Daytona 500. Seinfeld series finale. France winning the world Cup. Phil Hartman's murder. Norm MacDonald fired by NBC and snl. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky's affair exposed. Matthew Shepard's murder. Us embassy bombings in Kenya. All happened that year in 1998
Same year :D
@@buzzkill9991 stuff like that can really be said about any year
I was born near the end of 1999.
97 baby !!
I’d like to thank the Nard Dog for taking me back to one of my favorite childhood songs
We stan the Nard Dog
RIP The Office
I loved that show
i remember that episode. Stanley was so happy. :)
Damn straight
The Office is still on Netflix and I'm so addicted to this show. Dwight is the GOAT!
Best show on earth
b'coz of UA-cam we can still listen to this kind of music
from the pasts! \m/
THANK YOU UA-cam!
I hate UA-cam because of F***ckin' ads...
Adblock plus :|
Gives new meaning to the end of something...
Especially the last couple stanzas...
End of high school or college, or any other
"ending"...
"every beginning comes from some other beginning's end"...
YES yes and yes...
Love this song. Wasn’t even alive in the 90s I’m just starting high school but I work for a minor league baseball team and they play this after every game when we’re cleaning up the field.
This song really defines the end of the 90s and the beginning of the new millennium
I remember playing this record on repeat in the summer of 98. Good times, listening to this is like a time machine.
I just read someone's post about her son who now is in the hospital suffering from depression, I search this song since she says that her son like this. Now I'm crying listening to this, being able to feel the pain of that boy and realising how we all want to escape from this misery. Need your prayers for his fastest recovery. May we all found our home
I hadn’t heard this track for so many years until I recently watched American Pie: The Reunion & then heard it on the final episode of Rules of Engagement a week later. Man I forgot how awesome this track was. Thank you Supersonic for finishing off the 90s in style.
A good coworker and a great friend of mine took his life yesterday. It's so surreal, I'm still struggling to believe that it's true. We used to always play this during close at work as in inside joke. We miss you. 💔
Rip :(
This song literally describes my life right now... I know who I want to take me home!
Me too bro
This song reminds me of bowling. When I was in high school, my friends and I would go bowling at night. We did that routinely every weekend. At the end of the night, the bowling alley would turn on the white lights and play this song signifying that it was “Closing Time”.
I’m glad we were able to go bowling for your birthday, Beautiful🖤
I got in tears a bit when my favorite sports bar closed down and they played this song. Went there every night for a hangout. Went there on Wednesdays for karaoke, and Fridays and Saturdays for parties. Wasn't just a hangout, it was a stress reliever for me. Last night it was open was on my birthday last year. Had to shut down because of too many fights breaking out and too many police calls. Had a lot of good memories there. R.I.P. Z's Sports Bar in Piqua, OH
Dude I’d listen to this every day on the way to middle school on my iPod nano back in the day. I always timed it right so I’d have time to Finnish the song right before I got to school and I air guitared and air pianoed through the solo’s with pretty much zero shame. Good times man good times. Can’t wait to see what I remember so fondly from this time ten years down the line
"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end. Goodnight" -Stanley Hudson
I don't know why I got this recommended, but I really loved it, I feel grateful for this gem.
It's astonishing that whenever we have a song stuck in our head 9 times out of 10 it's from the 90's :P
+Caleb Bartlett TRUE
I wasn't even born until the late 90's, but I still love this stuff. I regularly get classic Goo Goo Dolls, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. stuck in my head lol
I've got the Backstreet boys in my head...
White Horse was good also
I wish I was from the 90's
My boss would make us sing this before we had to leave. One of my workers, Pam, could never remember this song. My other employee, Stanley, loved singing it because it was time to go home. My boss, Andy, graduated at Cornell and was in the Ocupella Group.
Everyones talking about how cool they are because they miss the 90s, and I'm just sitting here wondering why they miss it? The music is still here, that's the only thing they seem to miss. That's like saying you miss your mom or dad even if you live in the same town, just go visit them.
The thing is, we won't get any more things like these anymore.
Yes the songs are still here, and we can all listen to these songs and remember moments of the past, but for me it isn't the same as living in the moment during the time songs like these were relevant.
Jennifer Hamels I'm not sure where you live, but around here, if you play closing time, or spokesman by goldfinger in a bar, literally everybody but the old guy drinking his sorrows away knows these songs. I'd say they're still relevant.
Sweet9964 One can listen to a song from any era and relate to the meaning of the song.
I should have worded what I said differently because relevant was the wrong word to use.
Listening to an old song that brings back memories from the 90s isn't the same as listening to the song in the 90s when it first came out that created those memories.
As for your parent example. Yes, I miss my mom from time to time and I can go visit her whenever I want. But it isn't the same experience like when I saw her everyday growing up.
i miss it being on the radio for everyone to enjoy together and seeing the bands on tv and just being in the presence of it all...it's not he same to have to look back, but hey, at least it's still accessible for us to look back.
Good song , still is , however old it is 90s , etcs !! Had to stop by n listen agin its been while !! Good to hear once more ! Thanks !! ;)
This would be the best graduation song...
It was for mine
*sigh* You guys do realize this song is about a bar closing for the night, and then "Finding somebody to go home with". I mean, don't get me wrong, beutiful song, just making sure you guys know what it means...
XDD
Digital Otaku sigh... the singer already confirmed he wrote this song about his anticipation of fatherhood. The song was cleverly disguised as being about a bar closing, but it's actually about leaving the mother's womb.
Ooooh, didn't know that, thanks for the clarification!
:D
Listened to this song as I pulled out of my high school parking lot for the very last time the night of graduation.
This song sounds emotional but when you realize what it's really about, it'll be way more emotional
The first music break is the best part. To me, it symbolizes excitement @ first that then slowly turns into happiness. I'm sure that's how a lot of people feel when they meet that special someone.
Love this tune this song is moving forward and leaving your past in the past 💯
The last song at EVERY 90s/00s school dance.
Exactly
That was 2000
It was at mine this year
Yes definitely
Yasss
This song has so many memories for me . My best friend and my nextdoor neighbour would play this song every time at a party that we invited them to our place as they go home . Maybe one day they will realise who this is and contact me my long lost neighbour friends .
reminds me of graduating high school and moving out of my parents'
reminds me of that too even though im still in 8th grade
EpsonKik that makes fuckin sense ahhaha
Ah, the days when you could afford to move outta your parents'.
Closing Time Semisonic Lyrics
EpsonKik i just laughed out loud because of how stupid that comment was
Heard this song several times. Never knew lyrics or who sang it. This week I have learned both and it's my new favorite. Love it but it makes me feel sad and want to cry because I know in my heart that we will never be together and it hurts to even admit it to myself. To thine own self be true. I love you Laura."Cali".
Fun game: Take a drink every time someone in the comments whines about how "horrible" the state of music is today. Take a drink every time someone wishes they were born in the 90's. Take a drink every time someone reminds these people to settle the hell down and stop ruining *every single* old music video by acting like the 90's didn't also give us music like the damn Macarena and Vanilla Ice's entire discography. Jesus Christ. I can't wait to watch some 2009 music video one day and see comments like, "Now this was when they made REAL music! Not like these soulless musicians today!"
Liz Lemming Exactly!
Then we'd all be dead
Well if I did that I would die of Alcohol Poisoning
Liz Lemming
LOL already eliminated a bottle of rum!
Liz Lemming 5 bottles down
I've known this from the 90's but Achievement Hunter brought me back.
Same here.
Dude what episode????
The Office! One of my favorite shows ever!
Yeah dogg
I don't even know how many years it's been since I've heard this song. Maybe over a decade. But today, out of nowhere, I suddenly got it stuck in my head.
I love when my brain randomly reminds me of forgotten gems.
Last night I was at Walmart . They now close at 8:30 PM. They used to be 24/7. thanks to covid 19. I was in the check out at around 8:10 PM an they were playing this song over the PA. now this song will remind me of the days of covid 19 and all the changes. I cant wait for live to get back to normal. No more 6 feet apart. No more masks.
I’m hear 9 months later and nothing has gotten better
What a great song! Love the keyboard in the background.
My wedding next year is gonna be filled with old music like this (2000-2010) and it's going to be lit. No traditional shit, just bangers like this😂
Congrats on the marriage hope it’s going good
We need an update hannah
@@enlightenedboy lmao well the wedding never did end up happening but we are still together and still plan to get married one day, just not in a rush now... but I definitely still plan on playing these songs lol
"Old music"
wait 2000- 2010 now counts as old music, wow i feel old now lol
Working at Friar Tuck Steakhouse in Conneaut Lake. The restaurant has been long demolished but back in the late 90s this song would come on when we are cleaning up to close the restaurant down. God I miss those days!
Man, what happened to music? I'm not saying this is the best song ever, but it's music with a soul. Unlike all the stupid dubstep songs nowadays. There was a time when people actually used instruments to create music.
I think you're just talking about the "in" music.
There are individual, modern artists out there with soul. I recommend Cody Jinks, personally. Loud and Heavy & Hippies and Cowboys are my personal favorites.
The good old days when people went out to places and socialized. RIP 90s never forget
Went out and socialized, and no social media!!!
And early 2000s and basically before 2015
I keep looking for a mashup between this and Time of Your Life because they share the 4 chords and beat, but no one's done it, and I know jack about doing one myself.
Interesting. I'll give it a shot one day.
the chords to this are G-D-Am-C , the chords to time of your life are G-G-C-D , and Em-D-C-G, so it'd sound a little weird
technically speaking you could say that the chord pattern is the 1, 4, 6 minor, 5
the insane gamer 6 (and 3 ) will always be minor in the major scale, 7 will be diminished , but yes thats another way to say it
This reminds me of that scene from "Cannibal: The Musical".
Hello song of my youth. I forgot how much I liked you. So good to hear you again.
Today’s my day off and really planned not to go on a travel this weekend. Just taking my time to just rest in my room and emptiness strike in a sudden. I suddenly gets emotional cause I realized my friends has their own worlds now. I miss them so much and this song pops up in my mind then immediately searched this here. I’ll be turning 27 next week and hopefully we could reunite. 🍺
Here’s to all the seniors graduating who had their final year of school and didn’t even know it
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Right here😤🤟
what about the almighty good riddance by green day?
I remember being a teenager in my mum's and friends houses hearing this, many thanks.
Okay, Andy has good taste. This song is actually really good
yes🙃🙃
No, I’m not here from the office. I’m not here from any show or any movie, I wasn’t even alive in the 90s. I’m here from an old memory of middle school cross country, one of my friends singing this in the most voice-cracky, obnoxious voice ever. Good music has a way of finding you in the weirdest ways🙃
I’ve been playing this song during a break up of my marriage, it helps me to remind myself that all good things come to an end and every new beginning comes from someone’s beginnings end. My x wife and I are off on new explorations but I’m so sure we will remain friends for evermore.
Sarah take care I will always be here if needed!
THE OFFICE!!!! ANDYYYYY PAMMMM STANLEYYYYY
SOMEBODYGOTSTOSAYIT Patterson NARD DOG
Wrapping up 2019 with this song. Happy New Year and may 2020 be a good year
Oh boy.....
I played and sang this for School day back in 2016, people were livin' it ❤️
Am I the only one who escaped the womb successfully
@@rottingravensblood9106 C sec gang
Yep
No it's just you, we all never made it out of the womb
This song gave me the first real idea about what "closing-time" is really about. Yeah the party is over, you just didn't know.
This song... this damn song... feels so amazing when you imagine it playing it in background or in your mind ...as you finally move on from whatever has been holding you down, be it heartbreak 💔 over losing someone or something ... and moving towards something better in life!
I would constantly be in the hospital and at every single discharge my doctors would start playing this since I’d sing it every night before bed because music was the only thing keeping me from missing home
Rip Andy Bernard.
You will live on in our hearts. 😢
Yes sir
Did he die?
A little message for you 2000s hipsters who want to be 90s or 80s kids. Like your generation the way it is because honestly it's only the nostalgia that makes people love their generation and make it out to be better than it was. Some day you'll look back and love your childhood.
Thanks for all the movies that brought me here.
This song reminds of of the last song played at a wedding or even a dance I went to in high school....Class of 03'
Lindsay Brooke that’s the year I was born coolio
You graduated before I was born !
I was sleeping one morning and i was having a "Bad dream" and my older sis decided to play this song while i was sleeping and i had a awesome good dream :) I honestly didny want to wake up ahhaa :) I love this song! Just thought i'd hsare this :/
I love how the first guy's reply has more likes than the actual comment.
I miss the 90's terribly.
meeeee too. It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that it was almost two decades ago.
I was not a 90s kid but my parents raised me on 90s music
My favorite mall along with my closest favorite store is closing for good next year. My favorite store just closed for good. This song really will always make me think of when I used to walk into the Walmart, F.Y.E , and Spirit Halloween. R.I.P, the Hanover Mall.
Currently crying because they play this on the last night of 4-H camp and I'm missing it I don't get to go back till July
Charity M Ryan what is 4-H camp
1990's were the last great decade and my favorite year in music is 1998 and even 1998 is a great year cause live through it and now I am almost 40 and know what the 90's were all about!
K
Born in 97 and bummed I didn't get to experience this decade
Eric Hanson well you missed a lot in the 90's and it was the best decade
I was born in 1998, but a good portion of my music taste got stuck in the 90's so at least I get to experience a bit of the decade...
Was born in 1999, one of the last batch of 90's babies. Time passes really quick. It's 2016 now. Kinda feeling the nostalgia even though I wasn't there to experienced it.
Closing time, open all the doors
And let you out into the world
Closing time, turn all of the lights on
Over every boy and every girl
Closing time, one last call for alcohol
So, finish your whiskey or beer
Closing time, you don't have to go home
But you can't stay here
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from
Closing time, this room won't be open
Till your brothers or your sisters come
So, gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end, yeah
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Closing time, time for you to go out
To the places you will be from
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
I know who I want to take me home
Take me home
Closing time, every new beginning
Comes from some other beginning's end
Thanks for taking the time to type this
Thank you for posting a beautiful song that brings me back memories
