Rocky Michaels – The 5 W’s

This tune feels like home. There’s not really a proper other way to describe it – for me, the tune contains a very basic emotion, feeling like the truth that our parents told us when we were young. “The 5 W’s” is not only a song, but also kind of life’s manual.

Done with a soft and defensive guitar setting, the track builds an environment that has a very genuine vibe attached. Blended with held back, almost country-ish elements, there’s a certain ‘majestic shimmer’ hovering above the melodies, only being enhanced by the soft and relatable vocals of Michaels. Singing straight from the heart, the multi-talented singer/songwriter knows exactly where to put emotion for the track not to feel shady nor overloaded with a ton of too much emotion. Done in this fashion, the message is delivered in a signature honest to the core style. This tune rather just offers you the message, instead of trying to sell it to you.

And in the end, that’s exactly what makes “The 5 W’s” so intriguing. In a world where we blended and tricked on every other corner, Michaels humbly offers honesty and passion for what he believes in. That is what it’s about in music, folks.
