Preston Lydotes: “5 to 9”

Oof, I feel the message at the heart of this song. A rock n roller about work grind, into which we toss ourselves like wood into the woodchipper, for not much more than anxiety, instability, and dread as a reward. The tone of this uptempo song “5 to 9” is improbably upbeat, given the lyrics and subject matter. But you can’t mope about all the time. With a little Americana sass, some rock sax, and party vocal anthems, Preston Lydotes keeps it festive. At least until the alarm clock goes off tomorrow morning.
