Semisonic - Singing In My Sleep

[richircr]

Great Song...! Pure 90s...!!

[acydcryst]

any1 noticed 4:23 and 4:35 on his shirt?

[talkirth]

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.

[gabibowen98]

this video was made the year I was born hahaha

[mglover145]

@gabibowen98 Please tell me you're joking? Gah I'm old.

[TheCuriousNose]

@mglover145 Gahaaa. Man dont remind me.

[Monkeyfist93]

Numbers on hes shirt change, cool :D

[chuckawobbly]

This came out during my first year of highschool. This was just one year shy of American pie. These final few years of the 90's shaped my world and my life. It is thanks to music like this, and movies like American Pie, that I found my teens, my friends, and helped me become the bloke I have grown to be. Crap today just is not memerable.

[NormGenome]

Fourteen people need to find meaning in their lives.

[FreakySalamander]

brings back memories!! late 90s music rocked!

[SuperSparkyMark1]

Amazing band. Amazing song!!!!

[flutehero4292]

Hey,anyone else notice that at the end it's "Singing in my sleep" echoing and backwards? Or am I just crazy...?

[flutehero4292]

Love the Shakespeare reference. Expert usage of music and lyrics. They're real musicians, no wonder they're so underrated!

[SuperBrainBoner]

one of my favorite songs of all times

i miss this guys

[colinbluewood]

im sorry, but right now i dont care about the jaguar xfkcs whateverthehelucallit. jus wana hear music yakno

[lanntwilight]

i was very dissapointed in myself when i couldn't find this on my ipod, so had to download it again - but it's always worth it

[TheOoohnooo]

scream more and louder

girl with the knife is good

[TheOoohnooo]

scream more

[6969mayhem]

SUCKS!



[evilpinguwarrior]

@6969mayhem shut up and go back to listening to justin bieber

[ChronosAndChairos]

what is the significance of Dan's shirt changing time?

[fudgebarjohn]

FUCK THIS, WHAT'S THE AD?????

[CesarHernandezGT]

Great 90 times :')

[goticamedieval009]

This song makes me cry :'( remenber when i was 24 years and i had a surjery because of a brain tumor 1999 end of the century ¡ but.....i am still here¡ MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE¡¡ :) lol ¡

[55Snakes]

Did anyone else notice his shirt kept changing time? lol

[timy6050]

THIS SONG IS AWESOME MINNESOTANS ROCK MINNESOTA PRIDE

[GarbagePailKids4Life]

He was the kid from The Sixth Sense. Doesn't add up chronologically you say? Time machine bro'.

[Sunshine1965izhere]

I love this song!! :-)

[DanielJRiddell]

lol wow a tape!

[Doggbizkit4ever]

I love this song so much.

[kuroneko4276]

Once upon a time, people made these things called mix-tapes for each other. It was frequently a gesture of friendship or even courtship to make one for someone else. I still have a few myself, and wonder if people who are the age I was when this song came out will even know what they are.

[ash515]

@kuroneko4276 I still have few tapes (cassette). Am hoping to pass them down to my children :|

[diced0tofu]

i wish he got contact lens

[NachoScapegoat]

Love love LOVE!!!

[bhansa87]

no way this song is from 1998! It sounds as though this was released last year! oh why doesn't music sound this catchy and melodious anymore?

[atter0]

what does the time on his shirt mean?

[Doggbizkit4ever]

@atter0 total track time for the song I guess...

[05madame]

Only 299,088 views??? what an underrated song!

[colinbluewood]

@05madame youtube tweaks the views of older music that isnt shitty to kiss ass and give more fame to newer artists that suck. see they cant have old classics like this outweigh justin bieber and other ppl.

[jhengtoyhorada]

→→I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep.......

Ahahaha.....Cassette tapes....the 90's! I remember, this song way back high-skol days! Old-skol! I ♥ 90's hits!

[jdrummys]

Can anyone even GRASP how difficult it is to play a drum beat with one hand and keyboard with the other?!

[Ribeyeangus]

Yo dudes... remember record stores and CDs?

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@Ribeyeangus Its too bad pretty much everyone uses iTunes these days. There is nothing quite like holding a piece of analog music. :)

[Ribeyeangus]

@NostalgicTimeMan

I know, right!?!?! I like being able to play my music through TVs TYVM. LOL

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@Ribeyeangus Its like holding the little baby/soul of the artist or band. and usually if its a CD you get the little booklet on the inside that you can never possibly get with iTunes. The only problem is pollution from the plastic, but I'm sure mother nature will understand.

[Ribeyeangus]

@NostalgicTimeMan

Since plastic doesn't decompose... we should make a house out of CD jewel cases. lol

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@Ribeyeangus lol but in all seriousness people need to out to the record stores more often, if ever! iTunes my ass. Its the one thing that I hate that Apple invented, I'd rather much prefer to buy a CD and upload the music onto my iPod (just for easy traveling)

[Aurora4021]

Wow!! SEMISONIC!! the cassettes!! I miss the 90's

[domieatworld]

one of the most underrated bands ever

[SuperBrainBoner]

some goooood music

[vaughn4lif]

Ahhhhhh the 90's/ late 90's/early 2000

brings back memories...

[prankstare]

@vaughn4lif for sure.... miss the nineteens :(

[KJRunquist5]

i know the guitarist John Munson hes really tall

[gollywogholly]

Man this shit is OLD <3

[Fightfanz]

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.

[bluesy92]

@Fightfanz I disagree. The broader range of music (anything can be accessed at a moments thought) exposes people to more. It may be easier to go on youtube or a pirate site and get music, but that makes it easier to get exposed to more music.

[Vosloff]

@Fightfanz I know what you mean, bro. I guess the are among those who gets to practice patience. I also had my fair share of waiting for the radio to play specific songs for me to record.

[nichovaldes]

semisonic...... who ever thought of the name is a genius. nice name. thumbs up if you agree! awesome!

[AustinBoston345]

brings back so many memories :)

[KoB3daChamp]

omg i missed those cassette tapes omg pls bring back 1997 i wana cry so bad omg !!

[TheMegaPwn]

@KoB3daChamp Thats when I was born, kinda wish I had Experienced that era. Music isn't as good as it was.

[kingpin8351]

I was 15 when I first heard this song. Loved it then - love it now....

[monpaulo21]

very nice song, million thumbs up! =))))

[monpaulo21]

very nice song, million thumbs up!

[NostalgicTimeMan]

If you wanna see what the mixtape says you must pause at 0:21

It says the following:

Singing in My Sleep-Semisonic

Heart of Glass-Blondie

Can't Help Falling-Elvis Presley

Star Me Kitten-REM

High and Dry-Radiohead

Reception-Trip Shakespeare

You welcome. :)

:

[97rhcpfan]

@NostalgicTimeMan wooooooo!!!! radiohead!

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@97rhcpfan Semisonic's subliminal messaging is awesome!

[nihilista69]

@NostalgicTimeMan You are my hero!!!

[NostalgicTimeMan]

@nihilista69 Aw thanks man! Hey I have always had a theory that the numbers (ex.:4:23) on Dan Wilson's shirt are the possibly the length of each of the songs on the list.

[Inurian59]

@NostalgicTimeMan Heh. Trip Shakespeare. Knew they'd have to include the old band in there somewhere.

[13to17]

@NostalgicTimeMan Sounds like my kinda mixtape.

[prankstare]

that glasses for a rock star is something else... :)

[wesleyjc80]

They have this kind of indy sound to them. Not sure what im getting at but its just that sound. Pure rock. Not too hard but not too popish. Its just right.

[Hopffnung]

I hope 90's returns I hate this time!!

[wesleyjc80]

@Hopffnung ohh it will it will its called 2090's lol sorry just had to do it...

[Hopffnung]

@wesleyjc80 yes hahaha!! for sure they will come again... hahaha

[artisthefuel18]

great song.

[paulllish]

never seen the video before, it does change impression some. Love the keyboard rif. Very different, like Tribe or something.

[idkaikooly]

how i wish we can bring back the 90 sssssssssssssssssssss

[CarfireMusic]

Why does the time on his shirt keep changing?

[laserose14]

[caniac102678]

had an ex-girlfriend make a mixed tape with this on it back in the day. Ahhh, good times.

[darthcrowe]

funny how all the old classics from the 90's have the least dislikes?

[nikkiprincess11]

love this song! (L)

[tylertbwst]

I can hear SemiSonic singing to me in my sleep =D

[tylertbwst]

SemiSonic Is Awesome.

[longbeachdirtbag]

what was that weird rectangular thing he picked up in the begining?

[Waddledee187]

@longbeachdirtbag Are you serious? That there's a cassette tape, what people used to listen to music on.

[longbeachdirtbag]

@Waddledee187 hahaha i know im 25yrs old i still remember my walkmen.

[thejabeach]

long live the mix tape

[KabukiGallery]

this dude looks like your average joe neighbor but he rocks more than these posers these days

[KHWendy28]

I seen these guys in 98 or 99 it been so long but they was awesome and I loved every song on the cd and I miss the 90s they had so great songs.

[winggoddess]

the video is 10 seconds short of matching his shirt.

[choplass]

Boy!, That Bill Compton can really sing. :)

[Dead2RiseMusic]

his shirt keeps changing right.....?

[sathanasluciferii]

no no no, every 30 years or so theres a musical revolution, its been eh...20 so far right? just another 10 years give or take =]

[jakovasaur]

@sathanasluciferii Musical revolution? I don't think so, with lame ass rap and rock artists like Lil Wayne and Nickelback, not to mention hacks like Michael bay, Roland Emmerich and Seth Macfarlane all being considered geniuses by the current teen to 20's folk. The next generation, that's inspired by this shit can only make things worse!

[thathako10]

nice song

[AustinBoston345]

this was me and my now distant Father's song when i was about 8, listening to it almost brings me to tears

[diegopizzaandtacos]

Que regresen los 90's

90`s Come Back Please!!!

[dreadhawk123]

The 90s were not a good time for good music (in comparison to the 70s/80s), but this is good.

[Respectmusic14]

GO MINNESOTA! yeaaahh baby we home everything, the best civil war regiment ever, best hockey, BEST MUSIC! not best teams tho we suck

[Smilingrox1]

I was born in 1997. I'm 13, and LOVE Semisonic.

90's forever! My lovely nan introduced me to Semisonic :D

[staciarose20]

A mix tape!

[dragonflower840]

" I've been living in your cassette.

It's the modern eqivalent

of singing up to a Capulet on a balcony in your mind." <3

[ShadowPrintFilms]

All the times I've watched the music video and I just now realized the number changes. That's what happens when I'm too busy enjoying the audio.

[alupihan]

I can hear this song playing in my head...in my sleep

[magnshag]

I graduated from high school in 1994, the 90's ruled :)

[ShadowPrintFilms]

this song only has 6 dislikes. no bad pun related to the song here, just showing that 90's music was the best!

[iluvthecosbyshow]

wat in the fuck...he sound like the guy from marcy play ground....waaait

[daltonsalt4700]

I know who I want to go home with!

[TH3xNightAngel]

6 people cant hear the singing in their sleep

[mitchamboy]

i still have this on cassette!!!

[DreamEnchanted]

The lead sing is hot in kind of a geeky way.

[thedudefromthehood]

everything in music was just good in the 90's, rock music, rap music, pop music, literally everything was good.

[victorianbliss]

That is one awesome mixtape. 90's babies all the way!

[yak52aholic]

Oh born in 1993. wish i was born in 83 so i could of experinced the 90's :(

[katarabq]

@yak52aholic same here

[djkikis]

the 90s were the best not just for the music ... life was so much simpler ... no fkin twitter, facebook, handphones, blackberry's, internet ...

[Sanger500]

@djkikis The only thing not cool is that you had to pay $12.99 for an entire CD to get that one hit. haha.

[djkikis]

@Sanger500 haha yeah true.. but it was cool nonetheless...... :) tapes were sick too.......

[jets4me09]

THE 90S THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM

[TastyBassist]

Bum Bum Bum,

Bum Bum Bum,

Bum Bum Baa Bum

[chainjix]

I like that a cassette tape plays a role in this video :)

If there's a floppy disk there somewhere, someone find it. And then I will love this absolutely.

[mshara1]

Heard this song on Daria. Brilliant Show. Brilliant Band!

[randymeeks81]

Semisonic needs to get back together and give us another album. best one hit wonder i've ever heard!

[susanitavazquez]

Que buena canción , buena voz del tipo

[pith191]

i never knew this was by them

[DOCTORWHOTARDIS13]

The ending always makes me cry IDK why i guess the fade out makes me nostalgic :')

[yottabytes0809]

i was born on 80's and this 90's song was my favorite era when it comes to music.. unlike these days... it's fucking crappy especially when justin bieber started to moan (sing).

[TheWasatch]

God it was good being in High School during the 90's!!

[brownp1]

simply just a wonderful song and album. Miss these :(

[KTMykel]

I wanna go back and hear and see the Weezer of the 90's.

[xDuggalo]

screw vevo all to hell

[stupie82]

feeling strangely fine is one of the greatest 90s albums ever!

[leperchaun0]

And 5:02 and 4:38

[leperchaun0]

Anyone else notice that the shirt say 4:23 at times?

[BlackCatCadillac]

@leperchaun0 they're the lenghts of the tracks on that album. the duration is a couple seconds off depending on which versions you have.

[kitty7921]

wow! so this is the band that my dad listened to back in highschool...XD i guess i will be listening to them as well!!! LOVE IT!

[angelcity6]

90's COME BACK :(

[727DropA]

i miss the 90's and i dont even remember the 90's...

[zannapics]

Have faith my friends - the 90s will return!!!!!

[tiburcio9999]

@zannapics yeah in 2090... XD.. i will be dead XD

[tztopdruid]

@zannapics yea 2090

[smurfornge]

@zannapics Just 79 more years...

[echoplexb]

@zannapics It's not just this type of music... it's all genres.. i'm a big, big trance fans... and music generally is losing it's melodic feeling and soul.

It's a big shame... people like trash these days.

I used to listen to this on the way to work when i was 16 before i discovered my lifes passion... Trance. lol

How we changed.

[labpoe]

@zannapics Yeah, in 2090... lol

[Sakuya29]

90's is so awesome! T_T

[cookieclown2000]

90's I MISS YOU!

[sweetdictator]

Thumbs up if you miss the 90's and can't stand advertisments that are completly unrelated to the video you want to watch, or don't , I don't care!

[yo3443]

@sweetdictator 90'S WERE SHIT! SHIT!

[yak52aholic]

Oh how i want a time machine to go back to the 90's badly!

[cattlebrander]

15/16 time, anybody?

[MicMunk21]

@cattlebrander nope. Just 4/4

[DOCTORWHOTARDIS13]

Is it possible that the numbers on Dan's shirt are actually the song times of some of these songs (this is a total wild guess)?

[NCgirl96]

@DOCTORWHOTARDIS13 Yeah look up the songs on the list at the beginning, you're right!

[DOCTORWHOTARDIS13]

@NCgirl96

Wow you know it came to me by pure randomness after I accidentally paused at 0:20. XD Man I just love Semisonic.

[DOCTORWHOTARDIS13]

If you pause at 0:20 you will see that the mix tape says:

Singing in my Sleep -Semisonic

Heart of Glass-Blondie

Can't Help Falling (in love)-Elvis Presley

Star Me Kitten-REM

High and Dry-Radiohead

Reception-Trip Shakespeare

[Tromben120]

Still don't know what 4:35 is.
