This is the story of Five For Fighting, which is, at the moment, an alias--a pen name--for singer, pianist, guitarist, satirist and commentator John Ondrasik. "What it is," says Ondrasik of another way of looking at Five For Fighting, "is a group of people, musicians and non-musicians, working passionately to realize these songs and ideas." But to be clear, it's more than that. "It's always stood as a metaphor for battling through this giant beast that is the music business, and working to get your songs heard, while still remaining non-trivial and honest." A born-and-raised native of the sprawling San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, Ondrasik's began his music studies at age two under the direction of his piano teacher mother.

I wish all people would take this song to heart, and many thanks toward the incredible insight and talent of the songwriter and musicians. Anything and everything IS possible, c'mon people everywhere, let's do it..... start now. Depressing | Reviewer: John ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting This is such a perfect and beautiful, but yet still so sad song. It perfectly depicts life and how you should live it to the fullest, but at the same time makes life seem so short. You're here, and within 100 years you're gone, and that's it. It's so amazing but so depressing. Growing up | Reviewer: Christine ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting This song made me cry. D: I'm fifteen, turning sixteen in a couple short months. I AM pretty young, but it sure doesn't feel like it. I think about when I was twelve, thirteen, fourteen, and I thought I was getting old too fast, and now I think about how young I was. And that was just a few years ago. I'll be thinking the same thing in a few more years about how young I was at fifteen or sixteen or seventeen. I wish I could start this year over and enjoy being fifteen again. It feels like the years are going by too fast, and I'm getting dangerously close to adulthood. I wish I could just stop, slow down, and relish being young before I grow up. I just discovered this song in 2009 | Reviewer: Colleen ------ About the song World performed by Five For Fighting I kept hearing this song in a TV commercial during Christmas. Sears? Anyway, I finally looked for it online and I should have known it was written and recorded by John Ondrasik. I loved his Superman song. This song is, as other reviewers have said, one that EVERYONE should listen to closely. I admire Mr. Ondrasik even more now and envy that he can write such beautiful lyrics, plus sing them so well. (I also found "Love Song" and "love it"!) Began & still living with love from 15 till now 53 & we're still in-love | Reviewer: Kim Corder ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting We met when I was 14 & he 16. Love at first site. Married at 17 & he at 19. Had children 3 & 5 years later. Still going strong after many of life's ups & downs. Now after children grown & gone, have one grandchild, and are more in-love than ever. Even with our gray hair & wrinkles at ages 53 & 55, madly & passionately in-love & looking into each other's eyes still see the fire we felt when we were 14 & 16 years. Hoping to live more than a hundred years together. This song is our story. God | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Riddle (You and I) performed by Five For Fighting Love is Free and the Lord gave it with his son Jesus Christ Dying on the Cross! He came to save us because he loved us!! He didnt just leave us to die in sin. but He came for a Relationship with us! True topic about this song | Reviewer: Zack ------ About the song Superman performed by Five For Fighting In a retreat I went to, we reviewed this song and we discussed what this song means. To the people I talked to about this song, we all agreed that this was a person who was a hero in people's eyes, but not to himself. The person in this song is also thinking about suicide because people don't see the real him. just a mask. the quote "I'm only a man in a funny red sheet, Digging for kryptonite on this one was street." Either way I absolutely love this song. In a way, this song describes both me and what I use to be. A love never forgotten | Reviewer: RisingSun ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting I fell in love for the first time at 17 and she was 15. The moment I laid eyes on her she took my breath away. The brightest blue green eyes and most beautiful face and smile I'd ever seen. I was told by my parents,coach, teachers and fellow students that she was to young for me and the relationship we had...I had to say goodbye to her and break her heart... being young and foolish I was never able to tell her the reason why I had to let her go. I tried but was unable to put the words or the courage together and face her. I carried this regret for twenty seven years, the only regret I have in my life was letting go of her. Fearing all these years that she wouldn't care to know me any longer because of the hurt I caused her, I remembered and kept her in my heart everyday, vowing one day if I get the chance I would tell her all I couldn't at the time. Then the day came. She stood before me, just as beautiful as the last time I seen her. My heart stopped and I couldn't breathe. I broke down right in front of her and pulled her into my arms and couldn't let her go. Weeping like a child and trying desperately to regain my composure, she held me until we both stopped crying and I could speak. I told her everything. We spent hours together that day reliving old memories and making new ones...I never stopped loving her all these years. Now she lets me show her everyday how much I love her and continue to leave my heart wide open for her, till time is no more. I love you Sheryl. T. Military Retirement Video | Reviewer: DEH ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting At my retirement after twenty years as a military officer, a dear friend put together a retirement video capturing my career highlights and also included family photos going back 40+ years. "100 Years" was featured and, in combination with old family photos when I was a boy, photos of my wife and I when were dating, of our son as an infant, along with loved ones who have passed, the effect was very emotional. It's been nearly three years since I retired and I'm 45 now. Each time I hear "100 Years" those images come flooding back and the effect is still the same. It's a wonderful song and will remain one of my all-time favorites. Believer | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song World performed by Five For Fighting I could listen to this song all day. When I hear it, it's like I'm put into a different world. A magical world. Build-a-world. People around me are listening to rap, not that it isn't great, I just don't take to cussing and slang. People listen to cussing, inappropriate music, and yet with this song, Its just fantastic. Magical and wonderful. A whole book could be written on the words "What Kind Of World Do You Want?" beautiful song. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting I'm 16... and I guess I still have plenty of time. But with all the stress I've been feeling lately toward school and relationships and humanity - it sometimes feels that days are passing by so fast. With the blink of an eye, another year has passed by. Vibration | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Superman performed by Five For Fighting Love this song so much, I've the same vibration as what the lyric really means. It reminds me of the moment when I was down and how my friends pumped me up from desperation. LOL I almost cried when I first listened to this song, the best song forever. Faith | Reviewer: Justin ------ About the song Superman performed by Five For Fighting I feel this song expresses that we all have our difficulties in life. It is good to know that we really are not that much different from one another. I believe the key to a happy and fulfilling life in to love like you never have loved before and to have an unbreakable faith that everything will be great. God bless. Hauntingly beautiful | Reviewer: Amanda ------ About the song Day By Day performed by Five For Fighting I love this song! The violin and piano are so beautiful and the chorus is so "ghostly". It is a sad song but it is a pleasure to listen to. Where it lacks in lyrics it makes up for in musicality. Thank you Five for Fighting. Commencement | Reviewer: Russell R. Dart ------ About the song World performed by Five For Fighting At 58, after 35 yrs. of teaching, I used this as the conclusion for the 2007 Commencement address at North Daviess JSHS at Elnora, IN. Quoted it, went thru it, expounded on it, sat down and had it played for 3000 people from 3 or 4 different generations. "History starts now . . . Start now." I even saw a History Ch. promo a couple times last summer, but it apparently was pulled before too many people saw it. What a shame. It was perfect. Love It! | Reviewer: N.S.DarkAngel ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting So, I was making a video yearbook for all my friends, and this was one of the songs that they put on a cd for me, so I could figure out what to put the video to. Out of the 21 songs on the list, on the first three and a half actually played, but that was fine with me. The second I heard it, I immedietly put it into the video. Thanks you so much Cass! 100 years | Reviewer: vanilla ------ About artist/band Five For Fighting I dedicated this song for a reviewer named Thomas. I read that he have Epilepsy..Well,i have epilepsy too,so i knw how's ur feeling..i want to be ur friend to share..Remember..just enjoy ur time,coz we only got a hundred year to live omg! | Reviewer: someone'n'love ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting this is a great song!it was played at our prom three weeks ago, and while we were dancing my date looked at me and said,"youve only got a hundred years to live"...i think he was tring to steal a kiss...but still it made me really think about where i stand in life and where i want to be. I'm 33 for a moment | Reviewer: Brooke ------ About the song 100 Years performed by Five For Fighting I have struggled with the last few days of knowing today I was turning 33, don't get me wrong..I LOVE MY BIRTHDAY(S) but this was hard. I thought I would be in a very different place in my life, on so many levels. I have always thought embrace the age you are and where you are in life but it has been so hard to think that for my life. Yesterday, my little brother turned 15 years old. I think about his life and where he is and the amazing young man he is...and how much time he has. I started to reflect about my life and where I was at 15. This morning, I was getting ready and the song came on. As I have heard and loved this song for years...I started singing it. I again started thinking of my brother and then it clicked, I'm 33 for this moment, today. My life is really "on my way". I started a new job last year, returned to school, made some huge decisions with relationships and friendships, lost my father, my dearest Aunt, my life has just begun...I have so much life. It may not be the dreams and goals "I" thought but I am preparing myself for my future. I am excited and I can't wait to live, with every day a new day! Love this song | Reviewer: Thomas ------ About the song Superman performed by Five For Fighting It reminds me of my life when I try to make friends and I want to tell them who I really am and what stuff I can do. I fell alone, I'm just a teenage boy who is trying to make friends and have a happy life everyone who is trying to make friends becaus I used to have Epilespsy and I want a happier life with my friends without friends I'm nothing without them.
