Two Lights - Must Buy

I got Five For Fighting's new album "Two Lights" about a month ago. Been putting it at the top of my playlist on the pod. John Ondrasik's songwriting skill's top notch. He can write a song about, let's say... a cucumber, and still make our jaws drop. His first single, "The Riddle" is less catchier than "100 Years" or "Superman" but if you really listen to the lyrics, you'll see that it offers a deeper emotional tour. "Two Lights", the song that John also used as the title of the album, offers an even deeper meaning. John was inspired to write the song when he met a young soldier and his father. John saw two emotions in the father's eyes. Proud that his son is going to defend his country and at the same time sad of losing him for it... . "65 Mustang" is a playful song. It's not about life or love, it's about a car, so I guess it won't do well on the charts nowadays. But really, you have to listen to it a couple of times to fall in love with it.
