"The Riddle" and many more.

A compelling selection of bonus material on the "Back Country" DVD includes
films from participating charities on John's groundbreaking website, "What Kind
Of World Do You Want?" (WhatKindOfWorldDoYouWant.com), as well as John's
unforgettable performance of "Superman" (from 2001's "The Concert For New York
City" benefit) and an interview with the Vietnam veteran whose concern for his
Iraq-bound son inspired the Five For Fighting song, "Two Lights."

Songs included on "Back Country": "Freedom Never Cries," "World," "California
Justice," "The Riddle," "'65 Mustang," "NYC Weather Report," "Two Lights," "I
Just Love You," "God Made You," "Easy Tonight," "Superman," "100 Years,"

Years," "The Devil In The Wishing Well," "The Riddle," and "World."

Quest" charity video, "Caring Kids" video (Save The Children), "Fisher House"
video, "Superman" from "The Concert For New York City"; interview with the
father who inspired "Two Lights"; and behind-the-scenes "making of " footage of
Five For Fighting on set and in the studio,

The brainchild of singer-songwriter-performer John Ondrasik, Five for Fighting
signed with Columbia Records in 2000, releasing the platinum- certified album,
"America Town" in September of that year. "America Town" premiered two of Five
For Fighting's signature tracks: the international hit, "Easy Tonight" and the
Grammy-nominated "Superman (It's Not Easy)," a song offering solace and comfort
which became an American anthem following the attacks of September 11, 2001.

The next Five For Fighting album, 2004's "The Battle For Everything" introduced
"100 Years," an Ondrasik-penned metaphysical rumination which found its way
into America's musical scrapbook and continues to be a source of inspiration
and reflection.

Five For Fighting's "Two Lights," released in August 2006, became Ondrasik's
first Top 10 album and debuted the artist's third Top 5 Adult single, "The
Riddle." To John's delight, the album's second single, "World," was used in the
HBO promotional video preceding the final four episodes of "The Sopranos."

In February 2007, after receiving hundreds of unsolicited homemade videos for
his hit singles "Superman (It's Not Easy)" and "100 Years," John Ondrasik
launched "What Kind Of World Do You Want?," a pioneering website allowing
visitors to the site to make a charitable donation in two ways: by posting a
homemade video for the song, "World," or by watching videos made and uploaded
by others. Participating charities include Fisher House, Save The Children,
Autism Speaks, and Augie's Quest. For more information, please visit
