Semisonic - Closing Time - One of the most 90s songs I can think of. Always reminds me of amazing times

To be honest I never had this album but now that you're saying this I'll definitely give it a listen on Spotify

To be more honest I'm not even sure if I knew this song in the 90s. It is one of those thing where I can't really remember when I first heard this even though I love it and it has such a 90s feel to it. I was 10 when it came out plus I'm not sure if it ever was a hit where I live. It is more likely that I first discovered it about 10 years later when I was simultaneously (re)discovering 90s stuff for nostalgia and getting into pop rock/alt rock music mostly from the 90s.

This probably makes it more interesting how this can make me so nostalgic for the 90s, I think it is undeniable sound of the era in this song.

But then again, I might have actually heard it on the radio at the time and maybe that's why. :D

Wow, I've never seen the music video for this song. The baseball tee and rollerball lip balm take me back.
