Then you tell yourself
What you want to hear
Cause you have to believe
This will be my year

I love this song. I search for the Semisonic’s album where I could see Closing Time, it was one of my favorite song, or I should say still my favorite to this day. We used to play it when we want to shake off the remaining costumers in the computer cafe I used to work.

“It’s closing time, hoist your butt from the chair and leave, come on!”

Closing time
Time for you to go out to the places you will be from
Closing time
This room won’t be open till your brothers or your sisters come
So gather up your jackets, move it to the exits
I hope you have found a friend
Closing time
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end

I realized that these lines really suits to our regular customers, mostly were students from the nearby schools. They were fanatics, I see them everyday in their favorite computers usually chatting until midnight.

Earlier as I was cleaning my employer’s house which is 10 times bigger than the house where I grew up, I turned on my iPod to its maximum volume. I used my employer’s daughter’s iPod dock so that my music tracks will fill the emptiness of my surroundings.

This Will Be My Year played, it sounds like 80’s to me and the tune totally draw me into the song because I love 80’s music, it made me bring back to an era where I thought that the present was forever..endless….unchanging.

But I was wrong. I need to add 1 every year end, my teacher once told me. And every year, everything’s changing.

And every year, why on earth I have not considered at least one year to be my year?

Not until I heard this song. I feel like I want this to be my National anthem. It is my year according to Chinese calendar anyway.

This will be my year

I am a rat.
