Enlaces de interés sobre Vangelis:
El anterior artículo fue el segundo que dedicamos a Aphrodite's Child , un grupo musical de rock progresivo integrado por miembros originalmente de Grecia y formado en Francia en 1968 por Vangelis Papathanassiou (teclados), Demis Roussos (bajo y voces) y Loukas Sideras (percusión y voces); a ellos se sumó posteriormente Anargyros «Silver» Koulouris (guitarra), antiguo colaborador en su país de origen (Grecia). En ese artículo comentamos sus sencillos de 1969 que no se incluyeron en ningún álbum Quando l'amore diventa poesia y I want to live.
En este artículo continuamos con ellos y comentaremos su segundo álbum It's Five O'Clock que fue lanzado en diciembre de 1969 con Mercury . Este álbum muestra una continuidad con su primer álbum End of the World y contiene una mezcla de géneros que iba desde la balada de la exitosa canción titulada igual que el disco, al country rock, manteniendo todavía tintes psicodélicos.
Portada de su primer álbum End Of The World.
Tras la publicación del sencillo I Want to Live , la banda se transladó a Londres para la grabación de su segundo álbum en los estudios Trident .
El primer sencillo correspondiente al álbum fue publicado en octubre de 1969 , un mes antes que el álbum, por lo que servía de promoción de éste.
Portada del sencillo Let me love, let me live en Francia
El sencillo contenía en la
cara A la canción
Let me love, let me live y
Marie jolie en la
cara B . Ambos temas aparecerían en el álbum. Como los anteriores el lanzamiento se limitó a países europeos, aunque parece ser que hubo una publicación en Venezuela con fecha desconocida. Para las letras en inglés se ayudan en este sencillo y en el que será su segundo álbum del escritor
Richard Julian Francis .
Let me love, let me live está acreditado con
Loukas Sideras y Marie jolie con Vangelis .

Sometimes I feel
That I'm all alone
And I wonder what I'd do
If I couldn't turn to you
You are all my life
And more
take this love I give

The seasons change
But love remains
Growing like a rose in spring
All the summer sun can bring
I will find when I'm with you
You are all I have

I know there'll be
Sad times for me
But as long as you are there
I know that I'll need not to care
Love is everywhere you are
My life is the girl

But if you keep your love from me
I will have no way to turn
I will find it hard to learn
Living life without a dream
Which way will I be

Mi opinión sobre la canción:
Bonita balada con aires folk, del estilo de Demis Roussos , el cual siguió interpretando la canción. Adjuntamos una actuación suya en Bratislava:

It's five o'clock
And I walk through the empty streets
Thoughts fill my head
But then still
No one speaks to me
My mind takes me back
To the years that have passed me by
It is so hard to believe
That it's me
That I see
In the window pane
It it so hard to believe
That all this the way
That it has to be
It's five o'clock
And I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him
I find sympathy
Thus so
And so I go back to the years that have past me by
It is so hard to believe
That it's me
That I see
In the window pane
It it so hard to believe
That all this the way
That it has to be
It's five o'clock
And I walk through the empty streets
The night is my friend
And in him I find sympathy
He gives me day
Gives me hope
And a little dream too

Mi opinión sobre la canción:
Bonita balada con la magnífica voz de Demis Roussos y el órgano de Vangelis .
La canción fue lanzada como sencillo en febrero de 1970 en Francia con Funky Mary en la cara B. Se convierte en el segundo sencillo correspondiente al álbum. El sencillo fue número uno en Francia y en Italia. En Suiza alcanzó el sexto puesto y en Paises Bajos el nº 11.

Talking, people talking
But I can't understand just what they say
The thoughts that fill my head about tomorrow
What am I to do about today?
Looking, people looking
But I can't understand just what they see
If I shut my eyes sometimes it is much better
But how long can I go on living this way?
Laughing, people laughing
The people are the same in every land
Do they laugh because they have no way of crying?
Or cry because they have no way to laugh?
Freedom, they want freedom
Can this feeling be reality?
Till one day the silly people will be asking
For an apple that has come before the tree
Answers, who has the answers?
To all the questions that we have to ask?
I can show you how to find a good solution
Aphrodite's Child will tell you on the back

Canción con aires country.

When the stars begin to shine
The wind is flowing through my mind
Flocking waves the sea arise again
A vision calling from the sea
See it talking up to me
I feel a strange force
Pulling me over you
Annabella
Annabella it's you
And when we dance again
Up in the velvet sky
The moon is rise and high
We have to say goodbye
Ahhh yeah...
The dawn is rising from the east
And seabirds call me back to be
Alone without your memories once more
The sand is warm beneath my feet
To stay again and I must live the time
The time I am forced to spent without you
Annabella
Annabella
Without you
And now you're gonna dream
I kissed and touched your hair
And that our love is shared
Before we say goodbye
Ahhh yeah
When the sun has gone to sleep
And seabirds rest their weary wings
Fairy nights with candle light and stars
Melt the skies, a deeper blue
I am here, but where are you?
Can't you hear me calling you on the sea?
Annabella
Annabella
Come to me

I said good times so fine
now I've got you here with me
I said good times so fine
don't go away
I want you here all the time every day and every night
I want you here all the time that's what I say
Laughing, singing and just swinging
In the world you've made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
I said good times so fine
now I've got you here with me
I said good times so fine
don't go away
I want you here all the time every day and every night
I want you here all the time that's what I say
Laughing, singing and just swinging
In the world you've made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
Laughing, singing and just swinging
In the world you've made for me
Sailing in my little boat I never felt so free
Way up above the clouds
Yes I'm riding, riding high
I'm just sitting all day long and watch the world go by
Have good times so fine when I'm walking beside you
I'm in love and the feelings are in you
I said walking along on a sunny day with you
Come to me, say you feel the way I do
Mi opinión sobre la canción:
Canción pop sin pretensiones.

Mi opinión personal sobre el álbum:
La mezcla de estilos indica que no saben a donde ir. Se alejan del rock progresivo, queda algo de tintes psicodélicos.
