Five For Fighting - Superman 

This is way better than 90% of modern-day music!! Sigh...I miss the 1990s and 2000s so badly... :(

I'm a retired Medic/Firefighter. This song describes the pain and trauma that i live, every damn day. Thanks for explaining this to those that don't know.

I'm a grown ass man and this song still can bring a tear to my eye.....

If he did a 2-hour version of this song here i'd sit and listen to it

This song reminds me of my son who was killed in 2000 on thanksgiving he was only 17 and I miss him every day and cry when I hear this song

It's more than 20 years I guess when I was just a kid and I heard this song for the first time, and I instantly loved this piece, while being a kid I constantly doing my best to be the best kid for my parents that constantly fighting (yeah,I grew up in a toxic family) , at least to make them proud despite the family problems. the lyrics "It's not easy to be me" always hits me, I can still remember the feeling I felt that time. of course with a young heart that's too innocent and vulnerable that even a simple rejection from the parents can be so painful. Until I became a parent, this song hits me really hard, Being a Father of a little boy, and I am now facing the problems of reality. doing a lot of sacrifices for my kid, still having some toxic issues from a partner and family members but the music always fills the holes in a way we can't even explain that still gives me a gentle nudge to move forward despite the negativity and circumstances of life. this song is one of those. To all the parents out there, YOU ARE AMAZING!!! AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE!. Let's keep doing great and Let's always choose to be the best parents. for our kids' Generation.

One of The GOAT songs EVER

Beautiful song! Incredible vocal range....like Blunt and Levine...

1:21 the masterpiece of his voice. ❤️❤️❤️ Pure Talent no need autotune

I just love this song; I am close to crying!

I was given the grace of God, my Aunt Dorothy, I was given the most amazing gift. Unconditional love.

Just one of the best songs written period, wonderful performance.

John probably have the best Falsetto voice out there.....Impressive!

I listen to him sing it so many times.

True Master of his craft.

This is the song that made me want to help kids with special disabilities. Such a beautiful and emotional song.

Just John and the piano and it sounds amazing!!

Beautiful + unique voice.. Not to forget his song writing talent! Rare 💎

John's gracious words for KINK radio are sentiments I've felt since moving here in 1979. Nice to hear an artist confirm KINK's unique place in the musical firmament.

I can play guitar. This song makes me wish I could play piano and sing. It’s just such an amazing and complete song ❤

he's one of the few that sounds exactly like how he does in his songs live...no editing :D

Thank you John

Good stuff been a fan for 20 yrs in estimating. World is the song that touched my soul im soon to be 72 ex hippie ex biker but a true believer in a better world for all of us survivors. Bless ya im still passing your music along .all they need to do is open the ears and hearts. Life goes by so fast. I thank you

what a wisdom this musician man has

love it! love your song, love your sexy voicel love your singing style; love everything ! YOU'RE one of the BEST!!!

so beautiful...wow

WOW, what a beautiful performance

Amazing❤️❤️love him😘👌👌

I usually hate when performers embellish or change the song that I feel in love with on the original recording, but I really like this version as well. This is one of my all time favorites. It's making me think about taking piano lessons. However, I'll never be able to sing like that.

Brilliant !!!

This is impressive.

2019 and still

The absolute, Absolutely perfect

I’m in love with that man !!! 🎶🎸💕

Incredible song and voice! So talented! Is this guy still performing?

You have no idea how hard to find love or be accepted. You're ignoring the truth, I believe in love and witnessed unconditional love.

The truth is I was stolen the truth and feel like I lived a lie, they never told me truth. I knew my Aunt Pat and Aunt Ivy were in love. Pat was a Col. in the USAF and her love was Ivy from BC. I remember they were just part of the family. I was only given the gift of loving.

i cant stand to fly im not that naive im just out to find the better part of me the will of the wind you feel it and then it will pass you blowing steady it comes and it goes and God only knows even heroes have the right to dream it's not easy to be me

What a good vdo quality, it's 12 years ago

Cool song

Love it 😍😍😍😍

Coringa me trouxe aqui

🤩😻👏👏👏

i want the exact sheets!!! o__O

I totally get it, it's not easy being a real person today because of all of the facade (I really want to say BS). There is a stranglehold on people b/c they are caught up in the infamous BS. Another story for another day.

When the first time i heard this on the radio i thought it was "funny red shit..." But it was "sheet" so yea.. XD

2019??

2018

foda!

"or anything.." (8)

He doesnt look anything like i expected him too. But hes a great performer and a really good singer.

Kink.FM ^^! What name is that for a radiostation xD

He's a little bit fast at the singing part?

0:43-46 Where can I find this tutorial? Pls help

im more than a bird, im more than airplane, im a birdplane =D

2018 it's not easy

I'm not a fan of this altered melody line... It's one thing to stray a bit from the original and give a little artistic creativity, but this just felt all over the place and lacking any consistency. One of the powerful things about the song was its driving vocal melody; this just lost it.

WHO F''''''G disliked this?

2017???

Ryan Giggs of Mancheter United is Singing Hihiihihiihi :)

la da da da da da dee

I'm a biiirdplane xD

Bem melhor só no piano sem bateria

Ownage.

what the hell is with this..."IM A BIRDPLANE"

His living version is better than its CD version.

this is impressive... ialmost thought he's bad at live after watching that 100 years live. xD

I´m more than a bird, I´m more than a plain..... I´M A BIRDPLANE!!!!
