“5 AM” by Russ Nelson is a very powerful song that is appealing thanks to the energetic rhythm and the profound lyrics. Being a not-so-typical representative of alternative rock, it is able to show its power through guitars and to make vocals that are unforgettable as well as inspiring and touching. Nelson, a person who is all the instruments and voice, brings the song to a level that is so authentic and outstanding that it sounds like you are listening to him.
This lyrical content not only gives the song more depth but also leaves a feeling that everything is not authentic and that we are on a quest for something we will never find. Nelson’s character is the key to successfully incorporating the main themes with touching melodies and hence “5AM” will remain in the listener’s mind not only for its sound but also for the insightful touch it has on the human condition.
“5 AM” is not just music; it is a trip that makes you think about your life experiences and the philosophical questions that shape your personality. It is this particular song that shows the spirit of alternative rock in a new way, while at the same time giving it a fresh aspect with a new theme.
