I always loved this song growing up. I’ll never forget my class valedictorian closed out our high school graduation with “so gather up your jackets, move into the exits, I hope you have found a friend. Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end.” It would probably be cliche now, but damn that was a great way for us 90’s kids to close out that chapter of our lives!

This! I'm 43 years old and I only became aware of this song for the first time a few years ago. I mean, I'm sure I probably heard it before that plenty of times but I was never "aware" of it. Today was the day I found out that I was 18 years old when it was released. On the flip side, you could tell me that it was released yesterday and I wouldn't raise an eyebrow. It sounds like it belongs everywhere.

POV: This is playing on the radio, you've just left blockbuster with your mom, she was cool enough to rent you Bride of Chucky AND House on Haunted Hill, they've been the talk of the playground for weeks and you can't wait to brag on the gory parts to your friends, next stop is burger king to snag a kids meal but just not any kids meal, a BIG KIDS meal...

This shit makes me cry. I was watching Dan Wilson in 2019 sing Someone Like You, and this one. And he's still good, but he doesn't ROCK like he does here. And that's cool, maybe he got all the rock out of his system. But IDK. I'm 28. I'm not 18 anymore. Not 15 anymore. And you guys who are 45 or whatever are gonna say "you're still young!". And I mean, yeah, but not AS young. IDK. I'm not ready to stop rocking. I don't wanna get older. I don't wanna die. I want to keep rocking forever. But it's all in the song... "closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end".

I don't know if this helps, but I'm in my fifties now, and I still rock out with the volume up. One can mature as a person and still love great music. One doesn't want to become that guy with the endless midlife crisis, and tbh, I'm not going to dive for a volleyball like I did when I was in my teens or twenties. One doesn't have to get "old" in one's head, though, and it seems to me that there's something to be learned from this.

its weird because these 3 ARE playing their instruments but they are also playing along to some type of audio track. There is a shaker in the mix and a second guitar but no one is playing them. Watch the drummer, is isnt using a shaker, but it's in the mix the whole time. Most bands would just hire a studio musician but these guys pulled it off. I've never seen this...
