20130409 Semisonic - Closing Time

2013년 4월 9일 오늘의 곡은 Semisonic의 Closing Time입니다. 세미소닉은 1995년에 미국에서 결성된 얼터너티브 락 밴드로서 1998년에 발표한 두번째 앨범 Feeling Strangely Fine의 Closing Time이 빌보드차트 11위에 오르는 메가히트를 기록하면서 반짝 인기를 얻습니다. 하지만 인기는 그리 오래 가지 못하여 원히트원더 그룹이라는 불명예를 안게 됩니다. Closing Time은 간결한 멜로디와 심플한 가사로 지금들어도 전혀 촌스럽지 않은 심플한 느낌을 자아내는 곡이랄까요. 보컬 댄 윌슨의 까랑까랑한 음색도 곡과 아주 잘 어울립니다. 뮤직비디오 또한 2분할로 댄 윌슨과 의문의 그녀가 만날지 말지를 마치 숨죽여 기다리는 듯하네요. 즐감하세요!

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

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
