5.0 out of 5 stars 'Superman' speaks to the soul, August 26, 2003

After hearing this song only once I was immediately impressed. Sure it's about Superman the character. But it's also about you and me. How we try to be strong day in and day out. Unyielding to obstacles, challenges and hard times. About never being able to give up completely. About how we all long to surrender ourselves to an innocense that has long passed. Everytime I listen to this song I am moved by how much we all have to offer and reminded how fragile we are when feeling alone and separate. I recommend this highly!

I must admit that my real predilection in music are film soundtracks. I almost never buy CDs of any other kinds of music; I only buy CD singles, or cassette singles, of a particular song from a particular singer or band.
"Superman (It's Not Easy)" by Five For Fighting is one of these cases. This is a terrific song. When I first heard it, I was puzzled yet attracted to the lyrics, which I got to understand in an 80% (I had to download the remaining 20% from the Internet to understand it better). Wow! The lyrics of that song are truly original: well, imagine Superman wishing to continue being Clark Kent, or a common human being, because he's tired of saving the world everyday, tired of wearing the same funny, silly costume, etc. Wouldn't you just want to have a break from all that and get a life?
The original album version is here on this CD single, as well as a live acoustic version, but the other two songs that fill up this single are not as good as the one dedicated to the Man Of Steel.
