5ive are an instrumental band from Boston, MA formed in 2000 consisting of the duo of Ben Carr and Charlie Harrold.
In 2001, 5ive released their self titled first studio album on Tortuga Recordings, which included Jeff Caxide (Isis) on bass. Later in the same year, they released their second studio album, The Telestic Disfracture, which included vocals on the first two tracks by Jonah Jenkins (Milligram). In 2003, the band changed their name to 5ive's Continuum Research Project and released, The Hemophiliac Dream (EP) which again included Jeff Caxide (Isis) on bass. In 2004, they released a Split with Kid606. In 2006, they changed their name back to 5ive and released Versus, which originally was a tour only EP from 2004, which included a two stage remix of the track Soma, the latter being remixed by Justin Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu). In 2008, they released their third studio album, Hesperus.
5ive mixes space rock, post-metal, experimental and sludge elements that make their sound vast and infinite. Ben Carr in an interview with Carl Shultz: "5ive shapes tones and experiments with analog waveforms. Our sound has always been described as an organic sound, it has natural truth to it and though it is not always a happy or uplifting message, you cannot deny it".

My Song
5ive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A beat in my head and it wouldn't go away
So I added a bass, the bass was fat
I played it to me boys on a 24 track, they like that
Ah the hand clap followed by the mic check
No time for dinner, five's out on the night shift
Shady eyes in the middle of the night
Into the dawn till the lyrics lock tight
He kept playing my song on and on all night long [Repeat: x2]
Bip it up everybody, rip it up one time
Let me bring your rigidy rugged flow for
Your mind got what you need, let me break it down
Five on the low with the funk for your town
Down on the floor now let me see you move
This time tonight now it's time yo groove
Who got the champion sound understand
Rhyme for rhyme, Five on the low down
[Chorus]
Like I said before, got the funk for your trunk
From the junk yard to the boulevard here we come
Ladies, lock tight woo with that straight
Five dead right party's over here we got the five boom
All night we made a hit, yet another home runner
And sweet sugar J got you hot like the summer so I'm
A stepping back and let the DJ bust the mix Five boom
Get down [Repeat: x7]
[Chorus]
Baby bounce let me see you bounce to this
I've got the mic technique to help you use your ears
So you sit by the radio, hands on the dial
Soon Five on the jam time to pump up the volume
Another fly track to get down
Let me see you move, time for you to get down and prove it
Ain't no doubt that we're fly so don't deny
[Chorus]
The lyrics of 5ive's song "My Song" tell the story of the creation of a hit song. The song started with a beat that the writer couldn't get out of his head. He added a fat bass and played it to his boys on a 24 track. They loved it and added hand claps and mic checks. Five went on the night shift, and in the middle of the night with shady eyes, wrote the lyrics to lock tight until dawn. The song was played for the DJ, who kept playing it all night long.
The chorus is a repetition of how Five has the funk for the trunk and has made another hit. The song is all about getting down and proving that the group is fly. There is no doubt that they are partying hard and "sweet sugar J" is getting everyone hot like the summer. Finally, the lyrics encourage the listener to bounce to the beat, show off their fantastic dance moves, and pump up the volume.

Love Five! First time I ever heard them was the Disney channel concert in 1999. I was 10 years old. At 34 I still love them. This song was always one of my favorites. They were so underrated in US which doesn’t make sense to me. They were the best boy band imo. 💚🤍
