1.- Douglas had a knack for writing songs with hooks that could land whales whilst retaining a hardcore sentiment coupled with energy and emotion. Live performances were a frenetic mass of raw energy, chaos and positive belief in what they did, leading to slots on the Warped Tour and supporting Lostprophets on their 2003 UK tour. After their most successful headline tour to date, changing personal priorities lead to Douglas splitting up. Jamie from the band recently joined Boom In The Diamond Industry. They recently reformed for a one-off performance supporting thisGIRL at their last ever gig in Cardiff in January 2007.

2.- Chilean pop singer Douglas started getting involved in music at the age of 18, having the opportunity to get into show business in 1993 by participating in a music contest called Generaciуn 93 at local TV show Venga Conmigo. After signing up to Sony Music, his debut album, called Cariño Malo, was released, followed by Sigo Romantico, issued in April of 1999. The year after, Douglas was invited to perform at Viña del Mar's Festival in recognition to his talent and growing popularity. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

3. Douglas is a Pittsburgh, PA rock n' roll band currently revamping their style and sound. The band's line-up seems to be forever in flux, but current members include Jeff Bets, the brains behind the band as well as the lyricist, guitarist, and back-up vocals, Melissa Beall, lead vocals, and Chris Fazio, lead guitar, bass.
They have released one album, Yankee Bluegrass. "YANKEE BLUEGRASS showcases a sort of innocent gameness to try anything -- swingin' horns, three-chord rock, acoustic ballads, surfy guitar solos, even a little twang -- that's oddly affecting" “A free-and-easy romp through alt country and playful pop, punctuated by Jeff Bets’ old-timey harmonica... The music’s summery vibe should sound perfect right about this time of year”.

Four A.M.
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Late nights and long drinks we had to fall into vacant blocks of memories.
The mix and match that took a hold,
That screwed us up and left us cold,
That left me sitting here all by myself,
Tell me where did it take the turn,
That got me hot then left me burnt
And now I'm sitting here all by myself.
Those perfect things you said to me,
Will never disappear or attempt to leave me.
Late nights, long drinks, those perfect things.
You're leaving me.
The lyrics of Douglas's song Four A.M. appear to be a reflection on a past relationship or situation that did not end well. The singer of the song reminisces on the late nights and long drinks shared with another person, and the mix and match of experiences that left them feeling screwed up and cold. The lyrics suggest that the relationship took a turn, leaving the singer alone and burnt out. Despite the pain, the singer cannot forget the perfect things that the other person said, and is missing their presence. Ultimately, the other person is leaving, and the singer is left alone with only their memories.
The lyrics of Four A.M. evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and regret, as the singer tries to make sense of what went wrong in the relationship. The long drinks and late nights suggest a time of revelry and possibly even hedonism, and the mix and match of experiences might refer to a series of highs and lows that took a toll on the relationship. The repeated refrain of "I'm sitting here all by myself" emphasizes the loneliness and isolation felt by the singer, and their longing for the other person's presence. Overall, Four A.M. seems to be a poignant recounting of a relationship that ended in heartbreak.

Those times i recall when I sit back and drag myself a few steps down.
Remembering the past brings me down and gets me stuck in my own thoughts
Late nights and long drinks we had to fall into vacant blocks of memories.
Drinking and partying was the only escape we had, but now those days are gone
The mix and match that took a hold,
The combination of things we did took over our lives
That screwed us up and left us cold,
Our actions messed things up and left us feeling empty
That left me sitting here all by myself,
Now I'm alone and dealing with the consequences
Tell me where did it take the turn,
Can you help me understand where it all went wrong?
That got me hot then left me burnt
I was excited and passionate but it ended up hurting me in the end
And now I'm sitting here all by myself.
I'm still alone and trying to make sense of it all
I'm issing you by my side, now I've just got myself for company.
I miss having you around and now I'm alone with my thoughts
Those perfect things you said to me,
The lovely things you said to me are still in my mind
Will never disappear or attempt to leave me.
I'll always remember them and they won't fade away
Late nights, long drinks, those perfect things.
Our memories of partying and the good times we had together
You're leaving me.
Our relationship is over and I'm left alone
