| Five for Fighting – Superman (It's Not Easy) Lyrics

Actually when this song was written nobody had any clue who John or Five For Fighting were, as this was his breakout hit. He didn't even intend to record it but somebody convinced him to put it on America Town, which was released in 2001 before 9/11. It was then that Americans embraced this song as their healing anthem that fff became known. |

gotagun, John is John Ondrasik, he is Five For Fighting. He's a solo artist, but people are often confused by his stage name which is a hockey reference. I like how you pointed out 'So, that's what it was when it was written'. A song has a meaning for the artist, but it can mean something completely different to each and every person who interprets it. That's the beauty of art. |

The beauty of art is that it's open to interpretation by all who behold it. However anyone who's been to a fff show gets the benefit of a lot of insight into the inspiration behind much of his work. He is as much of a storyteller as he is a singer/songwriter. John was in fact on the jury pool for the Robert Blake trial and this is a parody of the California celebrity legal system. |
