It's time to hit shuffle once again. This time we're going back to 1998 with the band Semisonic. This song is called Closing Time off of the album Feeling Strangely Fine. Most people assume that it's a song about a man closing down his bar. However, that is only partially true. The drummer for the band, Jacob Slichter, said that it was actually about a baby who was being born and leaving the womb like a bartender cleaning up his bar. Slichter also said that it was written by the lead singer, Dan Wilson, who wrote the song in anticipation of being a father. You can check it out here:

Until next time, roll the Mellow Dice and hope for Midnight.
