While the song is about people leaving a bar at closing time (also called last call), and widely interpreted as such, drummer Jacob Slichter has also indicated that the song was written by Wilson \"in anticipation of fatherhood\" and that it is about \"being sent forth from the womb as if by a bouncer clearing out a bar\".[10][11]
The music video was directed by Chris Applebaum.[13] It features two continuous shots, running side by side on the screen. One side shows the band playing the song in a rehearsal space. The other side features a woman (played by Denise Franco) as the singer Dan Wilson's girlfriend. As the video progresses, Dan and his girlfriend switch sides of screen, as they attempt to meet up. At the end of the video, they both wind up at the same nightclub. However, they still end up missing each other by mere seconds and never meet. The \"trick\" of the video is that each shot was done as one long, continuous shot, with no cuts or editing, and therefore relies on proper timing to get the two sides of the video lined up properly.
This song is frequently used by some radio stations as their last song before changing formats, mostly alternative rock stations. Most notably on November 16, 2016, Fort Worth and Dallas, Texas-based alternative station KDGE (102.1 FM) played a continuous loop of \"Closing Time\" while redirecting its listeners to its area sister mainstream rock station KEGL (97.1 FM). This continued until 5 p.m. on November 17, 2016 when the station flipped to Christmas music then full-time to a mainstream adult contemporary format on December 26.[18]
Spitzer said that despite the sweeping use of iPods and the Internet to get music, it still all comes down to airtime. \\\"Airtime drives sales, sales means revenue, and the way a song gains popularity is still to be heard over the air by the listening audience.\\\"
Wilson: First, if you don't live in a place that has the right musical community for you, then you have to move. That's going to be the source of creative collaborations and business relationships. Second, try to be a friend to the people in your life. Help them move apartments, play the sax on someone's record for free, have a beer when someone's lonely, whatever it is. You're going to be working really hard in your life as a musician, and your time is like gold. So if you lose the habits of being a friend, you'll be a very lonely busy person.
Todd: And they wanted to close the set every night with something else, so they needed a new closing song for the set. [Pause] So he decided to write a song for when it was time to be closing their performance. [Long pause] So when they were clo...
Todd (VO): And it stuck around because it sticks out. We did not have a song about closing time at the bar before this happened. We did not have a song about last call and loneliness in the bar at the end of the night before \"Closing Time\". And a unique topic will generally guarantee longevity.
Todd (VO): Uh, I haven't said it yet, but there's a reason I chose Semisonic to do an episode on. I...I've actually been a pretty big Semisonic fan for a long, long time. They were one of the first bands I got into when I started to get interested in music, and that's... 59ce067264
