My first “experience” with Five for Fighting came during the months after the horror that was 9/11. John Ondrasik’s raw and introspective “Superman” was played often. It became a musical plea for hope during those awful times. I instantly fell in love with Ondrasik’s soulful voice.
Besides writing and performing songs that speak to the heart of the human condition, John is a passionate champion for charitable causes. His whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com has already raised over $300K for various charities. A dedicated supporter of US troops, he has also produced a CD volume compilation series that is available for free to every active armed services member.
In short, not only is Ondrasik a brilliant musician…he’s a beautiful human being.
When One2One provided this album for my review, I knew I’d love it. What I didn’t know was that it would become one of those rare CD’s where I never want to skip a track.
