The Battle for Everything (by Five for Fighting, Rock)
common sense media says
A perfect album for quiet, reflective moods.
parents & educators say
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this beautiful CD is careful not to offend. If you don't mind "message" songs that take themselves a little too seriously, it's a nearly perfect album. Keep in mind that many teens will simply not be interested, though, as this may be seen as "parent music."
Violence:
Non-violent, if anything.
Sex:
Too metaphorical to be explicit.
Language:
Too lyrical to be explicit.
Consumerism:
There's a gently anti-commercial message.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Nothing obvious.

Amazing
John Ondrasik aka Five for Fighting is one of the best artists around! I love his music and it's just truly amazing. You must buy his albums if you haven't already!

Phenomenal... if you can comprehend it
If my friends knew I enjoyed this music, they would surely scoff at me. Why? They could never hope to understand the profound messages conveyed in the songs. I love Five for Fighting and their songs because John's voice and the lyrics blend together to create something that is truely beautiful. Among my favorites are 1oo Years (a song about time and its grip on us all), Superman (a song about the tragic side of being an icon who is taken for granted as someone who simply does their job), and Dying (a song about the need for renewal in love and a fresh perspective every now and then to see the beauty and power of it). Put poetry to a tune, and you get The Battle for Everything.
