90“Closing Time” by Semisonic was released in 1998 and became a late-’90s staple — but it’s not just a bar-closing anthem.
Written by Dan Wilson, the song is actually about transition and rebirth. Wilson later revealed it was inspired by the birth of his daughter — the end of one life chapter and the beginning of another.
That’s why it hits harder than it sounds.
Endings. New starts. Stepping into the unknown.
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
