[@niallll]

True

[@astrokid_music]

Really amazing, I love seeing artist be down to earth and super smiley and friendly. I love the song too I was introduced to this song by my idol ATB, he played it often

[@SleazyGymnast]

I met Deorro about a year before this song was released, being a DJ and promotor i got to meet alot of artists and i have to say Deorro was one of the coolest, and nicest artists i have ever met.

[@MikeAcostaOfficial]

Thats is what music production is all about, such a great way to express your emotions through sounds

[@RobVice]

It's the vocal chops that make it a track you can't forget, it's a shame he didn't talk about them

This song means a lot to me. I remember my dad showed me this song and every time I hear it, it reminds me of some really great times with my dad ☺️

Thanks for sharing!

[@1001chillout]

Bro this made my day, the way he thought to express the emotions & the simplicity behind it all is so inspiring.

[@BPMCreate]

We felt the same way!

[@ElectronicMusicTracksOfficial]

same

[@ductabeats284]

This is rare to see, such a humble guy. Most of these producers that got famous for a beat became arrogant af. But this guy is down to earth, I'm vibing with his energy. He deserved every good thing that happened to him.

[@ElectronicMusicTracksOfficial]

Five Hours is probably my favorite song of all time.

[@alessandropanarelli9072]

nothing wrong with that

[@iceberg3916]

Amidst depression and anxiety, where I cant feel anything, hearing this song again today let me feel a little nostalgia, and damn, this song is just so powerful in so many ways.

[@Losovox]

Hey man, trust me you'll get thru it. Keep pushing along

[@codyderickson0]

The greatest battle is against yourself, after that, nobody can stop you.. You got this!

[@uppernimbus]

It's insane that his story behind this track matches similarly to the visions I initially had when listening to it for the first time. I always see myself traveling along a distant highway that stretches far beyond the horizon, emotionally wandering and looking forward to a romantic destination filled with excitement, butterflies and nostalgia. Those female vocal chops really enhance the emotional value of Five Hours as well, tying in with my own personal memories of girls I used to fall in love with and have crushes on. Absolutely unreal vibes with this one, it'll never get old and will always be a timeless classic.

[@boysnel]

Same my guy, but for me it was more a step in the right direction in life than a romantic thing... like you can do anything you f***** want but you have to start an keep going, at one point in the song there's that low slow beat for me its a '' ok you didn't succeed but keep going you got this'' and boom the beat is back louder like ''you did it''

[@uppernimbus]

[@sharr3766]

When I was about 12, during the big times of dubstep, I listened to a bit of electro house/mid tempo stuff, and came across deorro. No one knew him in my school so his music felt special to me. When five hours came out, we were on a school bus tour down to spain will all my class mates, I put the track on a small bluetooth speaker, and everybody loved it, I remember all of us, about 20 kids dancing and singing along the track in the bus. It's great memories and seeing that deorro himself is just an humble down to earth person with an emotional story behind this track makes me so happy

[@smythe7480]

From an interview with MJ talking about "Billie Jean" Where did your inspiration for the song come from **points up** "From up above" -MJ

[@superfriends8336]

the one thing i wanted to know about was the vocal chops and it’s the one thing he didn’t talk about... sick

[@user-nt3pm6dx1x]

ikr

[@27naysen._.]

same lol, its prolly from a random drumkit

[@birdy702]

What about the slow down of the song?

[@prostatix]

@@birdy702 just a tempo automation i guess. Like Opus - Eric Prydz.

[@ArmenBabayan69]

he spoke about it ages ago somewhere, I remember it was just his voice recorded on an iPhone in the Ableton sampler

[@largepoodle6036]

yo this track was and is still a banger. my uncle loved this track, he showed it to me, passed away last year

i always thought that the bass he uses on some tracks from good evenning was recorded from an actual bass. But it seems i was wrong. He is right the octaves give a slap feel

[@itsChris.x]

TONIC NOODLES 🍜 HAHA I still remember bro

[@tavakalimusic8040]

Just finished watching the video, where do I even begin.. 1st) so many times I've seen big, respected artists talk about making music while feeling emotional, or during life events, and just "telling their story" 2nd) as many times, if not more, I've seen them mention how they didn't want to release certain songs of theirs but their colleagues convinced them to, and most of the time it ends up a hit! 3rd) the way different sections of the tracks symbolize this 5-hour trip is just beautiful.. no wonder this track hits everyone so deeply but in a fun way.. as it was meant to be portrayed. Seeing these connections again and again should be a sign for any artist, aspiring or established. Thank you to everyone involved in this!

[@cody42693]

The track makes so much sense now. The whole song feels like a journey being played out! Absolutely love it even more now knowing this.

[@GAVINBASSMUSIC]

I'll never forget opening up a HUGE DJ showcase event with this song. I was above these giant LED screens being about 30 feet in the air and everyone looking around at each other during the intro. The anticipation / discombobulated look on their faces I can picture it now haha. When that funky bass dropped everyone LOST IT🤘🏼💪🏼😝!!! Legendary track 🔥🔥

[@mje2518]

[@cody42693]

That intro transition from sorta growl to pluck always blew my mind and I just never could figure out how it was done. Even with it being explained as just having it get filtered with a few other automations blows my mind still. It just doesn't sound like what I would expect the end result to be. I always imagined something taking off in the intro, glad to know that was the intention!

[@traviss7740]

Bro, I love the way he just broke this song down into his emotions... when I make my best music it's always when I can feel my emotions translating into the beat or the riff. Fucking DOPE

The way he chopped up those bits at 3:45 and could find the perfect place for them within the song... crazy.

time hit different when this song came out

[@skccarruthers]

I played a sport in college, and we had practice six days a week and workouts at least three or four days a week. During the summers, we were stuck on a turf field in 100+ degree heat. At times, it was hell. This song was the highlight of those days. We blasted it on repeat during practice! My coach was an old southern dude who mostly listened to classic rock and country music, and I'm pretty sure even he enjoyed it.
