Five for Fighting - 100 Years: Music Video 

My son committed suicide at 15, this song makes me wish at 15, he would have known there was still time for him , miss you forever Matt

I am commenting from my great grandsons account. I am 100 years old. I love this song. I fought in World War 2. I will be gone soon. This song will play when I pass on

I’m 60 years old. I can’t listen to this song without crying. Ever. Life is so fast and fleeting….

This song always hits me.. My father was 99 when this came out.. he lived to be a glorious 106!! and when I would ask him, of course he said it went fast.. the 70 yrs I had with him went fast enough.. now my granddaughters ask me.. and I say it's going too fast..All we have is what the Lord gives us.. live faithful and true to Him..

I was 25 when this song came out and I thought I was invincible. Now I'm 42. Savor every moment, kids. It all passes so quickly. Don't fall into routine. Challenge yourselves. And most importantly, don't be afraid to love.

The older you get the more relevant you realize this song is 🎼.

I'm almost 68. This song never quits being relevant. Don't keep waiting for life to happen to you.

My son passed from suicide almost a year ago. How my heart grieves for his goodnes. Such an amazing man, tortured with demons and addiction. Cherish your loved ones

I was 45 when this came out. Little did I know the chilling accuracy of these words, "I'm 45 for a moment, the sea is high and I'm heading into a crisis." My crisis was breast cancer. I'm 63 for a moment and looking back with gratitude on these last 17 breast-cancer-free years. Each day, each breath is a gift.

once a wise man said, "Finding old music you used to love is like getting back in touch with an old friend."

This is the song I want for my Funeral when I die♥️ , Thank you Lord for the life you gave me everyday , Thank you for everything. Please guide always my family🙏

I get so sad and happy at the same time listening to this song. It hits me even harder every year I come here to listen to this song. Live life to the fullest!

Two weeks shy of 70. Still with the love of my life. Still this song makes me weep.

About to turn 63. I lost my wife of 34 years, treasure of my life, a bit over 4 years ago. This video always results in me bawling like a baby. CHERISH YOUR LOVED ONES! EVERY SECOND!!

I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between ten and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment And she feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live I'm 33 for a moment I'm still the man, but you see I'm a "they" A kid on the way, babe A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose yourself within a morning star 15, I'm alright with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live Half time goes by, suddenly you're wise Another blink of an eye, 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on I'm 99 for a moment And dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are 15, there's still time for you 22, I feel her too 33, you're on your way Every day's a new day Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh 15, there's still time for you Time to buy and time to choose Hey, 15, there's never a wish better than this When you've only got a hundred years to live

This was one of my mothers favorite songs. She just passed away saturday at the age of 61. I wish i had 39 more years with her.

It hits you harder every year you come back to revisit this song.

I’m 48 and the pandemic made me and my wife lost our jobs.. but we still have each other for a hundred years...

I heard this song tonight played for a friend who was celebrating her 90th birthday. Just wanted to say that my wife and I were married at 18 and 17, and we're now 71 and 70, and still married to each other. We lost a daughter six years ago to breast cancer at age 41. Never take time for granted; it passes too quickly. Love the people in your life while you can. I would also add that our faith in Jesus has carried us through many storms of life. Blessings to you all.

My son was born the year this came out. He’s 20 now. I was 31. Now I’m 51. He’s in college. I’m still a teacher. Older but still have the heart of the 30 year old. I have Lupus now and cancer slowed me down. But I’m here.

This song played almost incessantly as I drove over warm and beautiful mountain roads with my youngest son Daniel in the car. We both loved the song. Daniel only got 12 1/2 years. He died of sudden arrhythmic death syndrome suddenly in 2008. He truly deserved a hundred years. I can't hear the song without seeing his smile and feeling the warm breeze of those days. Thank you.

I love how this song simultaneously makes you feel old and young at exactly the same time.

I was in my 40’s when this came out. I’m 70 now. I still think this song is profound.

Anyone in 2024?

52 years old now. Married my high school sweetheart. Kids are grown and married or engaged. Life goes by quickly. Cherish every moment you have. There is no such thing as wasted time with the ones we love.

I am 63. Emergency spinal surgery, then Stage 4A Ductal Prostate Cancer, then Brain Tumor. I only have the time I have. Life is good...

I am 76 years old. My husband - my Love - passed in 2018. This song was one of his favorites and mine. On trips we listened and sang along with this song many times. It lifted our hearts and reminded us of the numbers already lived and the numbers to come.

Metal head here - guys's guy, tattoos. This song crushes me to tears. Enjoy yourself. It's later than you think.

Don't ever rush to grow up. Have fun while u can, get dirty, scrap a knee, and get into trouble....just enjoy ur life and enrich others with ur radiating light

Danced with my wife to this song at our wedding in 2004. 15 years and 3 kids later, we still find time to dance when we hear this song.

This song reminds me......I married my husband in 1968. We were married almost 48 yrs when he died in 2016. 😢 Wow! Time went by so fast. Hard to believe. He was such a wonderful person and loved by so many. Spent his life helping others. Miss him so much ❤

I'm 24 years old right now, and hope that my relatives and grandson/daughter might see this comment after 100 years

I was 22 for a moment when this song came out. I'm 39 for a moment, realizing how true his message is. It all passes by so quick and you wonder what you did with it. Don't waste your life.

I'm 19 now. After 10 years hope someone will hit the like so I can remember this moment I'm typing this down. Love this song. To my future self you've been through a lot and take time to breath in and just LIVE❤️ This is me admiring my older self🥺 Fingtingggg✊

I was 22 when this song came out. I remember it like it was yesterday. Now I’m 43 with a 9 year old son. This hits hard now! Wasted youth but I can still make it happen with my son.

I work in a nursing home and one of my patients is 100. Everyday I see her she reminds me of this song and the fact that every single day is a gift and never take your time for granted.

Rest in peace grandpa, you lived 100 incredible years, overcame so much, served in WW II, built your family, and will forever be my hero.

I just turned 58. I'm an old guy now. Lost my Dad two years ago and he always said "son, take it all in because it passes so fast." Man was he right. I look in the mirror sometimes and wonder who that person is staring back at me. I feel like 2020 passed in the blink of an eye!

How someone so young could write a song like this that speaks to all who hear it. Amazing!

Feels like magic! I was 10 years old back then just vibing to this song on the radio. Now, 32, hearing this makes me reminisce of the happy and carefree moments in my life. When they say time flies like an arrow, I didn’t expect it can literally happen in a blink of an eye. It makes me grateful for the gift of life. To experience and to feel.

I remember being 12yrs old wanting to grow up. Now I'm 50yrs old both parents passed away, grandparents gone. Makes me wish I was 12yrs old again, surrounded by them without a care. Playing baseball in the back yard, drinking out of the hose and riding my bike to the lake. It sure goes by quickly!

I was 15 when I first thought of ending my life. I'm now 23 years old and still holding on. [EDIT 10/11/20] I'm 24 now and I've started practicing as a therapist and actively advocating for the importance of mental health. Couldn't have gotten to where I am now without my 15-year-old self deciding that she had so much more to live for.

My daughter's sings this song every year on Father's day. We saw 5 for fighting here in Billings Montana together when she was 13. We also got to meet him and took pictures❤

One of those songs you can't sing without crying. Beautiful lyrics.

I was 15 when this song came out. I've been using it to track where my life is headed and how far i've come. I'm 32 now and doing my best to live life to the fullest and savor every moment. I'm getting married with a family on my mind. Hopefully I'll make it all the way to 99. If I do, I'm leaving another comment here.

Haha I remember being 19 looking out over the ocean wondering what life would bring.......here I am 56 now, two brothers, a sister and my mom are gone now, buried in Hawaii and resting in peace, yep it goes fast man, real fast......try to make good choices and love your family.🤙👍🏝

If you can somehow make it through the song without crying, reading the comments will start the tears flowing. With every passing year, this song becomes richer, and deeper in meaning. I can't believe I'll be 60 next year. I lost my father last year, man that was hard. So many good people gone over the past twenty years. But at the same time, I'm blessed with two beautiful boys and maybe I'll have grandchildren in a few years...still so much to look forward to. Not really sure how many more 'moments' I'll get. I'll be happy with 40 more healthy ones. Time to meet my grandkids, time to deepen my friendships, time to accomplish a few more of my writing goals. And maybe time for Paris...somehow never found the time to go there.

Man. I first heard this when I was 15. I'm 30 now, 3 kids, wife. If I only knew back then how accurate this song is. Really makes me feel like I haven't done enough in this life and I need to start. Man this song hits hard.

Going into my senior year of high school in the fall and I'm really not ready to grow up. Times flies when you let it. Cherish your childhood. You might just let it pass you by

I was 15 when this song came out, had my first love/worst heartbreak at 22, now I'm 33 married with a kid on the way. This song feels like the anthem of my life.

Heard it in a store two days, and listened to it about 50 times since then. Lots of crying and thoughts of being 15, when my mom, dad, and grandma were still alive. I heard it On April 27th, which happened to be the day Mom went to Heaven 34 years ago, Now at 71, I still miss her like crazy. She only got to be a grandma for one year, but knew we were expecting our second child when the Lord called her. And we named our third child, our daughter after my Grandma and Mom, the two kindest, sweetest, and strongest ladies God ever made. I will continue playing this and cry each time. Young people, don't waste a minute, as this old timer wasted more than I care to remember. Enjoy each day the Good Lord gives you.

You find this song stunning from day one, but as you get older the lyrics become more beautiful and they make more sense to you. Just one of the most beautiful songs ever.

i'm 682340 years old and this hits right in the feels

I'm 64..... How I wish I could turn back time and enjoy the good times longer and make different choices... but life has been good.

If there is any song that should be played at a high school or a college graduation this is the song.

This song masterpiece so criminally underrated ❤😢

I was 11 when this song came out in 2003. I'm now 28, a decade passing since I graduated high school. I'm blown away by how slow and fast time seems to fly by at the same time.

My son 22 yrs old passed away 18 months ago. He had so much time left here on this earth to grow and be able to have a family . I miss you so much son but we will be celebrating our 99 yrs soon. I love you.

My wife was 15 when we started dating. She will be 68 tomorrow…. We are married 46 years When ever I hear this song, I tear up As we only have 100 years to live

Such a beautiful song. When I hear this song I think of the times that have come and gone. I’m 59 now in the twilight of my life now. Remembering my childhood and my 20’s. Please don’t waste your life. You only have one.

I'm 81. Every time I hear this song I think about writing a few more verses for it. 75 is such a monumental age. They say that if you live to be 75 you have at least 10 more years. I say yikes - is that all? I'm shooting for "a hundred".

This song has made me cry since I first learned the words to it. I'm 41 now.. don't want to get any older.

I was 5 years old when this song came out. I didn’t hear it again after that until I was 15 and it hit hard for me then. Now I’m 25 and I came back to this song at my hardest times. I lost my best friend to OD when she was just 21. Time really flies so fast. Cherish all the memories. Big or small. Because I’m a blink of an eye it can all be taken away.

I don't know, you listen to a song like this and you wonder why we can't just enjoy each other more. Friends, family and strangers alike. We're here guys. It's a gift.

My dad died a couple days ago and I can’t stop listening to this song... I love you Papa 😔

Wow, still a masterpiece! It hits different at 42 than it did at 24

36 years old, married for 12, was military for 4, got a 4 month old. This hits very different now.

This makes me reflect in so many ways. You’re never going to stop aging and death is inevitable. But did you do right, make the best life and love decisions? There’s always going to be regrets. I tear up at this song because there’s no going back. You have to try to be happy with the life and years you’ve been given.

We played this song at my grandma's memorial, she was 3 weeks into her 99th year, she was "99 for a moment." No matter how many times I hear this song I cry. It's all the beauty and all all the loss of life together.

when are we going to have this kind of music again?

I started listening to this when I was just 15 for a moment. My mom used to get teary eyed and tell me how true it was. She's past 67 now, and I'm 33 today. I will always love this song.

There are songs like this that make you know there are some angels that were sent here on earth to share their voice. It is so great.

This song literally just saved my life, I am in such a bad spot right now. I played this song ,and it made me feel just one increment better. And honestly I feel like that was enough...

I'm 35, Cancer survivor, I only got hundred years to live

The first time I heard this song, my 8th grade teacher showed the class this song. She encouraged us to work hard, live our lives, and love the people there for us because life passes by quick. That felt like yesterday. I can’t believe I’m 24 years old now! I can’t even remember her name. But I thank her for showing this song and all of her beautiful words of advice. Bless her wherever she is. Remember to live each year for you and with love!! Theses years truly are just a moment.

Came here because I just saw John on Fox 5 singing 'Superman'. Can't believe this song is 14 years old. Such a beautiful feel good song. Another 14 years, God willing, will still sound the same. Great music never dies 💖

Amazing how he was able to sing all that without bawling. Heard this today on the radio while receiving radiation for a cancer diagnosis, while my mother states away recieves radiation too (as we were diagnosed at the same time). It was hard to remain still, to say the least. I'm grateful for everything I still have, including the time I have now with her. Don't let the years slip past you. I 🤍 you mom, and I'll see you soon. Let's aim for 100.

If I create a playlist for my funeral, this may be the final song...the way the piano ends with an unfinished chord feels a way of saying “I’m not with you, but I’m not done.” I’m 57. When I listen to it, I still get tears in my eyes.

listening at 15 years old, good to know there's still time for me... wonder how this will hit later in the future

I was 57 male when diagnosed with breast cancer. Underwent mastectomy and just finished chemo. Everyday’s a new day, thankful for His provisions. Still fighting and enjoying life one day at a time despite approaching senior years.

I turned 70 this year and I still hope to meet the love if my life because I don’t think I have yet. I don’t feel young - but I also don’t know why I’m supposed to feel old. I’m not waiting though, doing insane travelling on my own. I don’t want more regrets. I don’t wait for companions or approval. Within my modest means I’m living a big life. I’m blessed.

This song makes you realize if you follow a life of comfortable routine, years will fly by and you will question what have you done with your time? Live your life to the fullest! I am learning at 25 (almost 26) how fast time flew by when I didn’t pay attention and got comfortable doing the same thing over and over. My parents warned me the older you get, the faster time flies by and they were not kidding!

I am a 67 yr oldlady and this touches my soul so very much, bravo and TY!!!

Love this song. We are 70 and just had our 46th anniversary. It sure did go by quickly.

Before 7 years was cool, there was this.

This song reminds me that I might have wasted some of my 80 years when I was careless with my life. We think we will never grow old but my teenage years were just yesterday. I remember my first kiss and how wonderful it tasted. Spend your years wisely, love a lot, be kind and generous because your life will pass like a flash a light and leave only memories of not only the good, but the bad things you had rather forget.

This one brings nostalgia to me.

I'm 23 and this song has been with me practically my whole life. Loved it as a kid but it has a whole new meaning as a young adult

The older you get, the more this song means to you, it does to me anyway.

Back then when I heard this song (I was around the age of 18) I thought that, wow, this is so deep. I enjoy singing this and whatnot. Now, 12 years later, I stumbled again upon this song. I marvel at how life is but a fleeting moment. A failed suicidal act because of getting bullied at college (body shaming and physical abuse) resulting on a damaged liver and kidneys and, maybe, can only go for just another 15 years from now. I sing along with this song and every time I sing the chorus "15 there's still time for you" I cry like a waterfall. I still got time. 15 years. Never a wish better than this indeed. Cherish your life people. It's a precious beautiful life we get to live.

You can listen to this song on loop all day and you will never get tired of it

A masterpiece. A reminder of our lives and how we lived.❤

This song makes me cry every time thinking how fast time flies how quickly life passes us by and current moments becomes distant memories. Things change people change and we try to hold onto time but is slips out of our hands like sand in the wind😢

When a song makes you think, reflect, and feel - you're listening to a masterpiece.

Jesus loves you and wants you to follow Him ❤ He is the way, the truth, and the life. I was an atheist for years until I had a supernatural encounter with Jesus that profoundly changed my life. The gift of salvation and eternal life is available to all who put their trust in Jesus. Seek Him with a genuine and humble heart and He will reveal His existence to you.

It is impossible to listen to this song without being moved to tears. Everybody can relate to the words of this song. Life is so quick.

I remember listening to this song in the car as a 10 year old with my dad in 2006 when my grandfather passed. Now it's 2021 and I'm 25 listening to this a year after my dad passed, Time really does fly. Really miss you Dad

I am 46 years old, I feel/act much younger than my age and I don't plan on growing up anytime soon! What I've learned in my 46 years is that life is what you make it, it sucks for everyone at one time or another but you are in control of your own life. Don't count on anyone else to make you happy do it yourself......live the life you want not the one you think other people want you to live. If you fail at something, try it again....we all look back and say I should have done it different, that's part of life. I realized about 5 years ago that I don't get a "do over" or a "next time" it's just this time and even with the things I failed at accomplishing I will never regret any part of my life enough to wish it never happened! My greatest accomplishments are my 2 kids, no matter what I did or didn't do right in life they are what matters most!! So smile, tomorrow is a new day!

He always has that element of melancholy in his music!!! It tears at your heart. At 71 the song resonates.

I'm 44 and my father just died on September 19, 2023 at 66. Stage 4 cancer. Please, don't give up. My father lived a rough life as a younger man. But he fixed it as he got older. YOU CAN TOO. The living world is NEVER too late. Whether you have 15 or 100 years to live, you can do it. You can turn it all around. You can have everything you want, everything you need. So please, while you're alive, NEVER believe it's too late. Start NOW. RIP Dad, I love you forever. Until Valhalla.
