It means, to say something seriously. It is said when bad news is announced for example.
- English (US)
It is usually used when a conversation topic is being changed to something serious or sad. We sometimes say, "On a more somber note. . . "
For example: "Today Britney Spears held her first concert in 10 years and sang to an audience of 10,000 people. On a somber note, two audience members fainted and had to be hospitalized because of the extremely hot temperatures."
Another example:
Boy: "How was your day today?"
Girl: "Today I had a really good day. I received good marks on my high school exams. I bought a pair of shoes on sale. And I went to an interesting movie. On a more somber note, my sister got into a car accident this evening."
