Five For Fighting - The Battle For Everything
Review by Philippe Gibert
The Battle For Everything by Five For Fighting is a powerful and emotional album that showcases the band's talent for crafting deeply moving songs. From the opening track "NYC Weather Report," which sets the tone for the album with its haunting piano melody and poignant lyrics, to the closing track "100 Years," which is a beautiful reflection on the passage of time, this album is a tour de force of songwriting.
Throughout the album, lead singer John Ondrasik's vocals are raw and honest, conveying a sense of vulnerability and authenticity that is rare in modern music. The instrumentation is also top-notch, with a mix of acoustic and electric guitars, piano, and strings adding depth and texture to the songs.

I love this song. I heard it first when my daughter was 15 and it always reminds me of her. Just a beautiful song.
this song hits a lot harder when I'm 40 then it did when I was 18

Amazing
Iconic songs ?

Danilo C. Talevera Mass In The Family
This is such a beautiful song. It breaks me every time I hear it. It makes me think of all of the beautiful people I've loved and lost.
Back again. As we all get older, this becomes more relevant. Just want to keep it alive and well.
Someone's cutting onions in here
Stop it please
Stop it please
I'm still waiting for Taylor Swift to write a song called "33". She already had Fifteen and 22. Come one, Tay.
Suddenly your ? Wise....

My favorite ❤️ is the Look, that guy gives, right there.
I'm 64.... but I am blessed to have a Son,in the Air Force... and I just love ❤️ that guy's stare. ??✌️?
I mean, I like both, but I meant the black guy's total respect and intense stare ?
Heard the words "... or we can find hospice for you" and thought of this song, as I've loved it for years. Savor every little bite of life you get.
I love that people still look for this song. It is one of those I heard late in life. Two failed marriages, and I realize now, that being alone sucks. You have got to work for that love, even if means giving in once in awhile. That means both the husband and wife. Both must blend into one, and forget much of their separate pasts, and hold on to love...
Senin berkah
I'm 42 for a moment ❤️
Jumat berkah
Wonderful song. Wonderful performance
✈ ?
Its been 13 Years ago, It is now 2023. I'm now 23 years old, I come back to this comment in the next 10 years. Hopefully alive and still breathing. With peace and a goosebumps and keeping the fire in my chest of cherishing this grand life I have. Nothing to lose Nothing to regret that is my motto.
Today mom would be 100...dad is 99...toasting to both xo
just beautiful
I was 15 and invincible when this song came out. Life's given me so many lessons. I'm 32 now and cherish every moment. They go so fast.
