FIVE a.m. The album "Fade To Light" can be distinguished, first of all, by the texts, which are full of sense. Musicians of Five a.m. try to understand themselves, they are thinking of the things, which can be named (though it can seem too trivial) "human values". Isn't it true, that sometimes waking up one can feel himself an actor playing not the very first part in a dull and boring play? (composition "Again"). We are all so different. Still, whether are we looking for truth inside ourselves, or whether are we taking a long journeys to find it, all our ways lead to that very truth (composition "Truth Is One"). In "Release Me" the story is told about hard sufferings of a boy after his beloved girl has left him. When something has come deep inside, it is not that easy to live it, and it needs much time until the pain goes away. By the stile music of Five a.m. is a usual, though modernized rock (plus a little country). The boys have sufficiently powerful drive, they've got enough energy and enthusiasm. While listening to the album, one can put forward the ballads "Some Heroes" (with a sound in the style of Joan Osborne) and "Release Me", energetic hymn "Tahoe" and a short instrumental "That Will NOT Be On The Album" (this spontaneous jam was recorded at once). The beginning and the end of the album look stronger in my opinion. There are more energy in them. Now it's left for me to name the quintet participants. Music and words are written by Trent Yaconelli and Robert Ethington - vocals, guitars and mandoline. Besides them, Five a.m. includes Zack Miller (bass), Benjie Kushins (percussion) and Stewart Burr (drums). In general in the music of Five a.m. one can find something very special. Besides, there are no boring compositions. This music is like a very good, comfortable everyday suite.
