Me too Marco! I have been looking for this song for decades and I finally found it via Spotify/best of Semisonic / first song on that playlist was this song. Sigh of relief.
"Feeling Strangely Fine" was one of the best underrated rock albums of 90s imho. I can honestly say I loved EVERY track on that album and knew all the lyrics, once upon a time. Its a pity more people dont know about these guys.
My mom always sang this to me before I went to bed back when I was younger. It was her favorite song when I was born and she’s always sort of known me by this song. It has such an importance and the song is just so beautiful and I’m so happy to always have a song like this to come back to if I ever need it
That's an amazing story!! I sing a song to my daughter everyday (Lullaby by Billy Joel) and she is three and knows it and loves it. I hope she always feels that way about the song that you do about this one. And if I have another kid I'm totally doing this with this song :-)
When I was a teenager, I paid a friend a king size Twix bar for a mix tape. This was on it. It's been one of my beloved songs ever since. I still have that tape.

I remember back in 98 when this song played on the radio. Never could remember the band or the name of the song, but the keyboard melody stuck with me for over 25 years now. I'm really happy that I managed to find this song so many years later and still enjoy it.
Anyone else feel like giving this son a million views and then buying it on iTunes so that it influences the pop charts enough that it gets some airplay just to let the guys in Semisonic know we still love em and want to hear more of their amazing work?
this song will always bring me back to such a specific night in high school, a party at a friend's house during the summer, when i felt so carefree and happy. whenever i want to feel that way again, i listen to it and i'm right there at that party. the power of music is amazing.
Proud to say I grew up in the 90s when these bands were on the radio waves.I dont listen to radio anymore...I jus look for and listen bands with real talent!!
insane_assailant Sadly the talented musicians don't get any airplay on the radio these days (mostly) but you can still find a lot of great music if you search the internet.
I was always playing this in my walkman back then in highschool, and no one really knew or heard of the song yet since "Closing Time" was the more popular Semisonic song... ...and then MTV played the music video for the first time one weekend. ...Monday after, I heard it playing in the school canteen's loudspeaker, and the kids were liking it. I felt so cool at that moment. :-) ..one of the songs that eventually helped me get laid. Thank you Semisonic!
That would have been right around the time that Music for the Morning After was getting the respect it deserved. That and Feeling Strangely Fine still sound like they could come out today and hold their own.
One of the greatest tunes of the 90's that explained a lot of feelings we were not really allowed to say back then. I still have a hard time expressing myself. Great tune.
Such an brilliant song. It's the embodiment of not just the 90's rock scene but also the general culture of the time. It's so hard to do that but these guys pull it off so effortlessly.
Got your tape and it changed my mind, Heard your voice in between the lines, Come around for another time, But nobody ever goes. All alone on the overpass, Wired and phoned to a heart of glass, Now I'm falling in love too fast, With you or the songs you chose, And all the stars play for me, Say the promise you long to keep. I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep. I've been living in your cassette, It's the modern equivalent, Singing up to a Capulet, On a balcony in your mind, In the city the lion sleeps, Pray to Sony my soul to keep, Were you ever so bright and sweet? Did you ever look so nice? And all the sounds dream for me, Mmm hmmm. I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep. And all the sounds dream for me, Dive me down in a soul so deep. I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep, I can hear you, I can hear you, I can hear you singing to me in my, I can hear you singing to me in my sleep.
my dad dedicated this song to me. im 38 he is about to turn 60 we rarely see each other as we live interstate and international for a bit too... always makes me feel special
I had that keyboard riff stuck in my head off and on for about 12 years. I heard them perform this on tv at a winter X-games, I assume in 1998 or 1999. It took me till 2010 when I heard it in a grocery store and thankfully they have those apps now that recognize a song and tell you what it is. I finally solved where that keyboard riff was from after years of searching.
I've been listening to Semisonic since the mid to late 90s while cutting grass in the summer to earn money and even still to this day I think they're one of the most uniquely sounding bands I've ever listened to. I don't see any upcoming tour dates but I really hope to listen to them -- please come to Gainesville, Florida, or at least somewhere near!! Love you guys!
I know this comment is super old, but that is something that kids now just wont ever understand. Being able to make a good mix tape could literally be the difference of landing that chick from science class as your girlfriend or not. What's the equivalent now? Sending them a link to your spotify playlist? Truly a lost art form... .
This song turned me on to the band when a lone disc jockey played it at regular intervals at WBRU. Then Dan's solo album dropped and it was my album of the year. Then I read Slichter's So You Wanna Be a Rock n Roll Star? THEN I found out Trip Shakespeare existed. It was like musical time travel. Absolutely Love these guys.
I frigging love the lyric "I've been living in your cassette It's the modern equivalent Singing up to a Capulet On a balcony in your mind" for those who made mixed tapes in the 90's you can totally relate.
'I've been living in your cassette, It's the modern equivalent Singing up to a Capulet, On a balcony in your mind' - what happened to such lyrics these days?
alternative- balcony beach.. i blame not only the uprising of pop commercialization... but more so of steve urkle and that fuckin accordion, ie mass popularity of the sythephone... And from what i can remember, the possibkl. downfall of t-pain... and thus birthd the new age of electro americana pop noise..no?
All the band members are totally at ease and comfortable with each other! I love the genuine and down to earth nature that appears throughout the video, especially at the end.
If you like semisonic, you should check out the band that 2 of the 3 gentlemen were in before this one.....trip shakespeare (Dan & Matt Wilson, John Munson & Elaine Harris)
I never saw this video. I haven't heard this song in about 20 years. I used to have the CD. I could play it all the way through and love every note. This brings me way back. thanks TH-cam.
How is it Kutztown University in 1998 and I remember this song closing time being played a lot and they're both very good songs... Never heard the whole album though so I found it in a little record store for a few bucks... I'm only three songs in, the first two I mentioned and a song called made to last. And I'm already thinking this is going to be a fantastic album
I remember sitting by the radio for hours with a cassette tape, waiting for the radio to replay this song, so I could capture it on tape... Things are too easy now. You lose that appreciation of music.
My brother had the the album with this one it. But for some reason I was the bigger fan. All these years later I am still listening to this still strikes a chord with me. Bring back the 90's.
2022 and still listening to this song. Back in the when this was released, it was only mtv or a casette tape or the local rock radio station who would play this song
My psychology professor looks so much like Dan Wilson! One time, I walked into class and asked, "Do you know the band Semisonic?" He laughed and said I hear that question every year.
I really like this song but what really fascinates me is the video. It's basically just guys in a room but the way they use selective framing is so cool.
I remember back in the day they had competition for person who designed the "mix tape" sleeve, its kinda awesome that they did that , they were an awesome and nice band, and man i loved their music F.N.T. one of my fave songs of all time

Everything is either too outdated, or too yesterday. You can not capture the feeling of a person's yesterday, without impinging on someone's tomorrow. Everything a generation holds dear, has to go through this process.

Its a pity more people dont know about these guys.
Still here in 2018, semisonic is still painfully underrated
Wait for 2020. That will be their big coming out party!
listening from Japan in 2020
Listening during a pandemic, and still one of the best albums I've ever heard top to bottom in my lifetime
Dan Wilson is still a fantastic songwriter, collaborating with tons of people: Andrew Bird, Weezer, Adele, Celine Dion, (Dixie) Chicks. Lots more.
... this band receives my 3 B AWARD --- BEYOND BLOODY BRILLIANT !!! ... the music is TIMELESS !!!

This song came on at Wegmans today and I forgot what day it was, when I was born, why I was there, and that this wasn't a Sloan song. Absolute gold!
feeling strangely fine is one of the greatest 90s albums ever!
That melody has been stuck in my head for years but I couldn't remember the artist or song name! Classic 🎉
Closing time was a good song.
This one is better, deserves to be rediscovered.
semisonic is the best band you never heard of
Makes me think of a special someone from years gone by. Good memories.
Same mayne
we all know the song is perfect, but the video is also tremendous and deserves more credit. What a great aesthetic in that first portion.

I am obsessed with Dan's voice and message in his songs, love them, didn't appreciate his music back in the day……..
Took me 25 years to realize the numbers on his shirt keep changing!! (need decode, please)
Stick this song on your minidisk and boom you've got a time machine right there.

Got your tape and it changed my mind
Heard your voice in between the lines
Come around from another time
Where nobody ever goes
All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x2]
I've been living in your cassette
It's the modern equivalent
Singing up to a Capulet
On a balcony in your mind
In the city the lion sleeps
Pray to Sony my soul to keep
Were you ever so bright and sweet?
Did you ever look so nice?
And all the sounds dream for me, Mmm hmmm
I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x4]
And all the sounds dream for me
Dive me down in a soul so deep
I can hear you singing to me in my sleep [x2]
I can hear you, I can hear you
I can hear you singing to me in my
I can hear you singing to me in my sleep
(In my sleep, in my)
Ohhh oooh, [x3]
(In my sleep)
(You singing, you singing)
Thank you
Most of the kids today don´t know what a tape is
Everything is either too outdated, or too yesterday. You can not capture the feeling of a person's yesterday, without impinging on someone's tomorrow. Everything a generation holds dear, has to go through this process.
this is basically the plot to High Fidelity in song form
Well now I need to go watch that movie
Man these guys were awesome... Feeling Strangely Fine was one of the first albums I ever heard in English and I just loved it!
