Five for Fighting | Two Lights

After listening to Five for Fighting's "The Riddle" on Pandora for some time, I was addicted to the song, and went to a store to pick it up (for 12USD, the normal price in the US, yet expensive from Taiwan's standards). It's been many years since I last find an English song that I truely find touching and can't resist the desire to buy. Five for Fighting, which is really a one man band of John Ondrasik from LA, does light rock music on a wide range of topics from love, peace to family, and even wisdoms of life. This is really what I like the most, songs about experiences, memories, struggles, all the feelings that you get in real life. Like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with "love songs" that only focus narrowly on romantic relationships.
