From the LP "Canned Wheat", containing the hit singles "No Time", "Laughing", & "Undun".
"6 A.M. or Nearer" (track 5), written by Randy Bachman, clocks in at 5:06 min. and starts off with a sprightly piano solo segueing into the song proper.
For a "deep cut" or filler song, or for whatever reason this song ended up on "Canned Wheat", it's hands-down the best track on the album, IMO. BTW, the storyline seems to involve being up before the dawn due to some serious ruminating over why, having spent time and effort making several attempts to find a little serenity in one's lackluster existence, those "surefire" exercises in life-affirmation still left one's spirit lacking.
It's a great song although it's really moody, overtly reflective, and doesn't have a happy ending. Listen to it at your own risk should you hear it in the dark just before dawn.
