Semisonic se formo en Minneapolis en 1995. Los integrantes Dan Wilson, John Munson y Jacob Slichter, venían de otras bandas pero en ese año se unieron y firmaron con el sello Elektra, con la mala suerte de que a mitad de la producción de su primer álbum la discografica despidió al equipo de producción y el álbum solo alcanzó para lanzar un EP titulado Pleasure que no fue lo que el grupo esperaba. Su segundo trabajo, Great Divide, se grabó ya con la discografica MCA en el 96, tampoco este trabajo tuvo mayor éxito.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

"This Could Be My Year" (words and music my Jacob Slichter) Semisonic from the album "Feeling Strangely Fine" (MCAD/11733) Transcribed by Daniel Pike ([email protected])
Intro: D* A* EmG (4x) * Mess around with lifting your finger off the second fret of the first string on D and the second fret of the fifth string on A and playing them open until you get the rhythm the way it is on the recording. This only happens in the intro, though. Verse:
DA Thursday's crush is a Friday night rush EmG And a Monday morning cry AG It's the tail that you keep chasing AG And it gets away every time DA New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe EmG Another Zodiac's gone around AG While you drank yourself high on hoping AG And watched the ceiling spin from the ground
Pre-chorus:
F# Counting down from ten it's time Bm To make your annual prayer F# Secret Santa in the sky BmE When will I get my share
Chorus:
EmD Then you tell yourself AE What you want to hear EmG Cause you have to believe ADAEmG This will be my year DAEmG This will be my year
Verse:
DA Pound your fist and cross it off your list EmG But you know you're not that strong AG When the man at the stop light catches you AG Singing along to a brand new song
Well maybe it's DA Trash or the overnight smash that brings your EmG Ship crashing through the wall AG So you can make your grand departure AG >From a world getting way too small
Pre-chorus:
F# One wheel in the ditch another Bm Spinning in the air F# Put your pedal down to the floorboard but you're not BmE Getting anywhere
Chorus:
EmD Then you tell yourself AE What you want to hear EmG Cause you have to believe ADAEmG This will be my year DAEmG This will be my year DAEmG This will be my year DAEmG This will be my year
