Songs of the Season – Semisonic – This Will Be My Year

Semisonic is known most of all for the song “Closing Time”. I got the album “Feeling Strangely Fine” when they were at the height of their popularity (I even saw them in concert!) and the entire album is pretty solid – much better than so many groups that have a hit or two and filled the rest of the album with filler (and people wonder why albums are dying), and this track, although it didn’t get a whole lot of radio play, is one of the ones that still stick out to me all these years later.

Happy New Year, and thanks for reading!

In addition to the “Carol of the Bells” playlist, I’ve started a general playlist of Christmas songs that will include pieces mentioned here, for anyone interested.
