If Closing Time Was An Emo Anthem

Thanks for listening! My wife has an amazing voice, as y'all familiar with the channel already know. She doesn't like to be on camera, and I immensely respect her decision and very much understand - however, it would be a shame to deprive you all of her singing voice, so I snuck in some layers of her lovely vocal in the chorus to counteract the absolute yelling I had to do in order to hit some of those notes.

I've already got this one on streaming after learning my lesson from Linger - and by the way, that one's up now too. I'd appreciate a stream and a follow over there on the streaming services. Thanks again!

Saw the title and clicked at semisonic speeds

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" has always been one of the most emo lines ever. Alex just gave the line a proper home.

[nightlightoasis]

This is one of your best imo.

Also, I think it’s time for Worship Team vol3 to Dare You To Move if it was emo

[JohnNYAurora]

Closing Time is an Emo anthem already, for me. Haha But you did a great job. So cool!

[TheSalPic]

We close on our new house today. Thanks for the soundtrack.

Whenever you do emo covers I immediately tear up because it absolutely slams me back to, like, 2004. I'm such a weenie.

The trend continues: every one better than the last. And Linger was so astonishing, I figured it couldn’t be beat. And yet.

Fun fact: this song was actually written as a sort of allegory for the birth of his child. He's not leaving a bar, he's taking his kid home from the hospital and starting a new chapter of life.

[andrewmcgibbon]

Did you know this song was written about the lead singer having his first child? He didn't like when rock bands got soft and sung about their kids, so he wrote it like this but it's a tribute to having his first child.

the fall vibes we didn't know we needed. another banger!

[kingofhills]

Gosh I love this guy. He's just straight vibing in every song and EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them is a banger

[Theswolechef]

Babe wake up another Melton just dropped

[christopherboyd]

Master at layering and mixing the guitars

[FloridaManRacer]

Okay, This is officially the most perfect one. Hands down. The lyrics fit the genre perfectly and I LOVE that you left the solo itself pretty much exactly the same, but the rhythm section around it changes the whole feel of it. It's literally spot on. Great job.

[adamwhiting]

My stomach dropped when that huge, halftime chorus came in 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[MindsNmotors]

Think of this as a song about depression and see how different it hits. Always interested when an artist takes a different musical approach to a song and how the overall feeling really changes. Such a great interpretation. I work with a lot of older teen/young adults who have depression, and we often talk about music and how it can be a lifeline for difficult feelings. I ask them to give me a list of songs that explain how they feel and I will listen to them. Sometimes I am surprised when I think a song hits a certain way and my clients will say it feels so differently for them. Music is such a great way to connect.

You've succeeded in making me nostalgic for elementary and high school at the same time. That's what happens when you cover a 90's song in the style of the early 2000s

[geralds.]

Dudes really covering my whole playlist!

[dayphaser]

This is how a cover should be, not a carbon copy but a great take on it. So good thank you I didn't know I needed this lmao

[justincole]

I’m just picturing myself owning a little indie/emo bar and throwing this up on all the tvs at the end of every night 🤷🏻‍♂️
