The story behind the song

"It's Five O'Clock" finds Aphrodite's Child, a Greek pop and rock band, reflecting on the passage of time and the bittersweet nature of memory. The song speaks to a moment when the mind drifts back, making it hard to believe how things have changed, yet still holding onto a "little dream." It's a poignant look at nostalgia, a feeling that things were once different and perhaps simpler. This track was one of several successful singles for the band in Europe before they moved into more progressive rock.
