Five For Fighting - Slice [HD][Lyrics]

[cooledge47]

peaceful soothing song :)

[EveeLover]

I really love singing along, especially at concerts!

[TheArmadillo17]

2:19 wow that pictture is amazing!

And so is the song :!!!!!!!!! <3

[moose698]

what are chevys and levees?

[kathleencandace812]

@moose698 they are referring to a song, American Pie by Don McClean. "drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was dry" a chevy is a truck, and from what i understand a levy is a place where there is water?

[SuO2468]

@moose698 It's a reference to the song "American Pie" by Don McLean - "...drove my Chevy to the levee..." A Chevy is an American-made car and a levee is an embankment. He's saying we drove our cars to the riverfront to have a drink, be with friends, talk, listen to music, have good times. Ondrasik's lyrics harken to that nostalgia.

[07932dash]

i got this cd for xmass!!

[sharinganakatsuki1]

i luv this song

[zxBLAXExz]

Thank you.

[beautifulxwish]

sooooooo beautiful :) i love this video!

slice of american pie <3

[AnimeFreakazoid11117]

hmmm.....i want pie....=.=

[ThatWouldBeMe101]

what a great song... perfect video too. good job!

[mwgfghost]

No I don't work at Staples. I worked at Shoppers. Local grocery food store.

[horsemania1]

FUCK THIS SONG SOUNDS SO FUCKING GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[kencfo7733]

Reference To Don McClean , The Day The Music Died...(Buddy Holly)...

[GEEkRoBot08]

Amazing Song , Heard this On Army Wives <3

[kikmaster007]

What happened to this time? Kids like me are so overwhelmed...(I think I spelled that wrong) with all the stupid stuff that happenes in our time, we don't have the same free, easier life as back then. I wish I could go back and be able to walk to the candy store down the street like me parents had, or walk around the town with my friends....What happened to this time?

[goodlucktuck]

Ya know what, i'm 10...My dream is always to go back in time and live in super awesome times, my friends know nothing of what i know.I know about Atari 2600

about the eightys and old shows like twilight zone. Five for fighting why are you not the biggest band in the world? Stoopid Adele is no.1 why? Cause she sounds like a peice of crap, and thats our music now, you broght me back to better times.

[jhague89]

@goodlucktuck yeah you probably know about that shit cause you're 40 ... Why do wierdos like you lie about your age on Youtube of all places? You're not 10... and if you were no one gives a shit. Stop trying to get "likes" cause seriously no one cares.

[BenderPictures]

@goodlucktuck Isn't it just possible that there are some good bands today? Five for Fighting isn't an old band or anything...John Ondrasik is closing in on 50, but really he's only been popular since the early 2000s, which wasn't long ago at all. He just got discovered later than most.

People like you will be the ones whining in ten years, begging for the music of the 2010s while denouncing music of the 2020s as "crap".

[InfiniteKil132]

@goodlucktuck Stop whining about today's music and pretending your 10 by using bad spelling. If you were really ten you would be too busy watching cartoons to care about anything else and you definitely wouldn't be on youtube listening to the best band out there.

[goodlucktuck]

@InfiniteKil132 Well look at my videos. Then you'll know.

[ReggieMantle90]

I love this song.

I reminds me a lot of summer and the fresh spring. :)

[tradingtwinss]

this song reminds me of the 50's and back in the day when everyone was soo simple :)

[KyleColts18]

" Hey man sing me a song" my favorite part of the song. But still overall a amazing song.

[retod4lyfe]

tj maxx ftw :)



[72Amazing]

15 people dont like pie :)

[wazzupdogyo]

I like Five For Fighting, John Ondrasik is awesome, but I honestly do not care for this song. I prefer songs like Riddle and 100 Years

[footballgrl99]

@wazzupdogyo but i respect you because you didn't come to this video and be like, i hate this song! this guy should never have written this song! and stuff like that like other people would. thx :)

[hotgirlsarehot]

I get deja vu listening to this song, cause this song reminds me of a couple of songs from the last 10 years that sounds very similar. Great song!

[walrusdenial]

awesome graphics :) and amazing song!

[meebasrock91]

i remember the first time i herd this song :) it was just yesterday :) i was in JCPennies and i herd this plesent song!!!!!!

[kgmkitta]

FANTASTIC!  Thank you.

[novascotia1girl]

they play this song on my local radio a lot, for some reason when good songs like this play on the radio randomly, it makes them sound better to me.

[AngelBeats27]

14 people are JUST slices of American Pie.

[xredvortex]

wow i really like how the lyrics are shown in the video

[ssaulnier2]

This song is played at least 4 times when I am working, its been stuck in my head forever and I finally found it <3

[doggiegirl0]

blair sent me here

[TheKingdom2541]

I LOVE THIS SONG :)

[TheRhododendron]

this is why i hate modern music.

[dude018219293]

@TheRhododendron

True. I hear it all the time at work. I want to shoot my speakers.

[spoonismydoggy]

this song touches me... anyone care to explain why?

[rham04]

@spoonismydoggy Probably because the lyrics allude to the original "American Pie" by Don Mclean--also a classic.

[3rkid2]

Fuck the "simpler times". The present is much better than the past and the future will be even better.

[halxx413]

this song.. i can't even explain how much it means to me, it just brings you back to simpler times, it really does

[OrthodoxParadoxBox]

They play this where I work. I didn't like it at first because it didn't come out right on the speakers but eventually I heard the lyrics and today I searched it on youtube. Now I'm posting a comment, afterward I will "like" this video.

[zombiiebiitchxxx]

@OrthodoxParadoxBox ME TOO!!

[halofan813]

This song sounds much better over a loudspeaker with work noises drowning a lot of it out than it does by itself.

[BERSERKTACTICS]

@halofan813 I can't help but feel that you work at the same place I do...

[503WaysToDie]

@Liamblue48

No. Just no.

According to the dictionary music is "The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion". Rock and Roll is music. Rap is music. Even Screamo is music. Instead of judging of what "true" (relative term by the way) music is, let's enjoy the music we each individually have the pleasure of listening to. Thank you, have a nice day.

[lovefool49]

it took me like 700 years to find this song! Love the American Pie references, and I love Five For Fighting!

[cutekadeaz]

ok i admit that rap this day in time is trash, but rap and hip hip itself isnt, you need to listen to some old school rap songs that give the same message as this one

@Liamblue48

[lepraconperson]

american pie?

[s2bcytangel17]

Could you please remove the embedding thing for this? I want it for my blog playlist on Mixpod

[jessethomas32]

can someone please post sheet music for this?!?!?

[SajjQ]

this song makes me happy for some reason :) like smiley happy :)

[icecream09871234]

yeah i would looooove to be able to play this on the piano. or in a band! A Band ensemble that would be great but probably inpossible

[vinegarthomas]

Thanks for posting this. You did a great job with the video and lyrics.

[SubSoIe]

please make a music video of this, or at least music sheets for piano :]

[ijustdostuff]

nice job on the video and i really like the song

[arishayne]

when this song mentions American Pie and chevys and levees.......are they talking about American Pie by Don McClean? American Pie is an oldies song but I think thats what they are referring to in this song.

[gtp77]

@arishayne

bingo

[gbleather]

@arishayne Yep, you got it. It is definitely referring to the don McClean song. But he is also just using that song as representative of that time in music and how that music/generation represented America at that time....

[95aquafire]

@nothotenoughforme

I'm just guessing, but it reminds me of the phrase "As American as apple pie" . "Slice of American Pie" It probably means the typical American, and how you should be more then the typical American norm. Not to hate on Americans or something. :)

[mwgfghost]

For some reason I always fist pump to this song when stocking shelves at work.

[TheEkbaum33]

@mwgfghost Hyvee?

[Spart1O]

@mwgfghost you must work at Staples because I hear it at least 3 times a day while I am working there.

[mwgfghost]

@Spart1O Nah I work night shift at a grocery store. It's great because there aren't any customers there yet so we shout the lyrics.

[gtp77]

@mwgfghost

night shift at walmart likes to blast this

[horsemania1]

@mwgfghost do u work at zellers? cause this fucking stupid song plays over and over ffs

[slim404]

@mwgfghost me too bro. Do u work at Home Depot too?  XD

[RepulsefromSD]

@mwgfghost ROFL they always play this shit at my work also XD. Oh Lowe's

[CesspoolMessiah]

@mwgfghost you don't happen to work at a jewel-osco, do you?

[RipcordStudios]

@mwgfghost you definetly work at staples.

[Nyonben]

@mwgfghost Haha, ditto. One of the few songs that doesn't make me want to drive a stake through someone's heart at work.

[nothotenoughforme]

Excellent music, but I have one question, which some may consider ridiculous, just what is American pie? What is the story behind the song?

[MadSuckk]

Shawn Michaels brought me here

[solarflare4646]

NHL

[whiteska8er]

This song bring back so many memories: )

[AnthonyDavis217]

This song's great. Driving around on a sunny day with the window's down and playing this is just perfect.

[icecream09871234]

@AnthonyDavis217

That would absolutely be the most perfect time to listen to this song.

[Tinymac12]

I really like this song. Also I like your video itself. I think the pictures really capture the image of America that everyone thinks of.

[dplayboy01]

wow i cant believe i just discovered this song...its fuckin beautiful

[cailinfia16]

12 people clearly don't like American Pie Slices!!!

[got2run5]

I love this song... makes me wish I were born in simpler times when the world wasn't so crazy. With people like Lady Gaga and crap music. For some reason when this song plays I think of my gf and I driving down a dirt road windows open on the way to a lake to go fishing in the middle of nowhere. That's what life is all about...

[collliflower]

@got2run5 I completely agree with you! <33

[TheKingdom2541]

@got2run5, thats true, i just wish we werent living with music like 2day. these songs i wuld listen 2 Everyday. Not 2day type of music.

[3rkid2]

@got2run5

Lady Gaga can rip a piano just as well as Five for Fighting.

[DannyPhantomBeast]

@got2run5

You don't have to bash modern music to affirm this music.

There were those in that time period who dismissed THIS kind of music as garbage while affirming THEIR classics.

It's okay.

Gaga and the others, that's OUR slice of American Pie. The new generation's.

But this... this is YOURS. ;)

[Eztarget156]

@got2run5 Hell yeah man. Gotta go get away at a lake now XD

[nolobot21]

I don't know why but this song brings out a nostalgia in me of hanging out with this girl I really liked a couple summers ago and it's sad now because I dont think she feels the same way anymore but anyways GREAT song.

[Celestasaurus]

@nolobot21 im sorry... that sucks, but ur right. it is a good song:)

[nolobot21]

@Celestasaurus haha well thank you, I still talk to her and all its justs a lot different :(

[1994lightangel]

I LOVE THIS! i have listened to it over and over again last 20 hours. i kinda wish i was american now.

hugs from a new norwegian FFFfan!

[longdistancebamboo]

@Liamblue48 I totally agree with your sentiment dude but..... Boys like Girls? Come on

[ThePerfectly]

this song would be even better if it didn't keep making think about those fucked up movies

[whiplash246]

gotta say congrats on an amazin vid m8



[memostarzxD]

I discovered this song in an airplane. I cannot believed I missed that slice of American pie...

[purplepolkadotpig]

This reminds me of CTY :) I'm so nostalgic now

[eguo0124]

@purplepolkadotpig woo another CTYer :D

[Kavyaa29]

i love this song.

[jwmellott]

This is "1985" for grownups.

[eternaljelly]

i just ruined the 1000 likes with mine

[radaradalicious]

1000 like!!! exactlyyy!!! lol this song is ill! :)

[15butterflies]

i love the pics :D

[dobattlers]

@Liamblue48 true music is subject to interpretation..there is no right or wrong answer....

[MostPeopleDontKnowMe]

@dobattlers I agree!

[hyhoneyydav]

Superb pictures for a superb songs

[yukifantasy456]

I just love the words "of american pie" is just right there on the mountain scene it looks kinda random

[nutshell911]

FIVE FOR FIGHTING 4EVER!

[beckybeeify]

the pictures are amazing!!!

[ChratisHelv]

heres to true music, mad by the real artists. thanks five for fighting, for reestablishing my love for true music.

[cailinfia16]

Where in the world did you find the picture at 2:05? It is amazing?

[TheFenderstrat77]

@cailinfia16 you know it kinda looks like the tree and the field from Five for Fighting's 100 years music video lol



[MrWebby787]

This brings back such good memories....<3

[epiczak]

how can this not have 1000,000+ views?

[LilBongi]

This song is like perfect

[doggielovernumber1]

[RastamuziCAST]

This was the 2nd single of Five for Fighting

that so wonderful to hear!

The pictures are so beautiful!

LOVE iT

[SubSoIe]

why cant this song be on Virgin Radio?

[roadrunnerfvr]

Just a terrific song that hits home for all those of us who grew up going to concerts in the 60's and 70's. When it was all so new and exciting to hear live rock n' roll while we were learning how to make our way in the world. Bravo for John O. for writing such a sweet and heartfelt tune!

[got2run5]

@roadrunnerfvr It was new and exciting back then and nothing has matched it since. I'm an unfortunate child of the 90s and i find myself listening to mostly 80s music... and stuff like this without some horrible rapper or some crazy women dressed in fresh cut meat or condoms.

[raquelperleques]

love this musics!!!!!

[randombanana14]

i love this song!!!!!!! im dancing 2 it for a competition i sing it all the time

[fridafrida11]

Nice song and pictures :)

[TheGuitarloverboy]

haha i was playing this song on the piano... and my parents got mad at me... i think they got annoyed from the monotonous strokes.. but really? who cares.. i learned this song by ear, and i can't play for my own enjoyment? sorry but music isn't for listeners, its an outlet for musicians. just like art isn't for viewing. its a release of emotions

[SatanMadeMe]

Nice HD Pictures! :D

[giggs102]

the pictures...remind me of a christian song..lol

[MrTOn77]

Vela Merda

[incubus442]

The name of this band may be Five For Fighting, but I would give them 25 to life for putting out such a ear worm of a song that it's constantly stuck in my head - morning, noon and night.

[criss90able]

@incubus442 *cough* 'someone doesn't know good music' *cough*

[incubus442]

this has got to be the most overplayed song on the radio! Unfortunately, we have to put up with crap like this at work all the time.

[kelliejessica]

i think 7 people got their head sliced off by pie xD

[wangheru2007]

at 2:05, i saw a very nice picture, where did you find it? btw, this song is remarkably awesome!!!

[VinceY0utube]

@wangheru2007 that picture at 2:05 is a picture from a background app for the iPad, i don't know if it's also for a iPod or something but i got that picture on my iPad background :)

[superwabble]

@VinceY0utube you mind telling us the name of the app? thanks.

[mbraganza1]

Sooo love this song. Just purchased it in iTunes.

[thox851441]

How can you be as nice as me, You're not from the same slice as me...

Does he mention all racism that happens now??

Nvm, I love this song! :)

[mugglebornprincess1]

will this album come out in Greece?

It's great!

[donutcrazy1112]

i love this!!!!!!

[mjcutie123]

:) makes me wish we had no technolagy. Better off " people stood in line to hear music that played into there lives(:"

[thedragonsworld]

@mjcutie123 then there would be no music. a flute is just as much technology as everything else.

[poffcorn]

@mjcutie123 are you amish? do you think you can play this by hitting a stump with your hands?

[BiTeMeTwiLiGhT]

@poffcorn gaww chill...

[poffcorn]

@BiTeMeTwiLiGhT what?

[aliew27]

@poffcorn hahaha, that's terrible, but hilarious - hahaha

[waterman9465]

What's a carrier single ?

[unfortunatebeam]

So what era is he referring too? He says "rock and roll was young" so is he referring the the 50s? cuz that's when rock and roll was young right?

[blueluvr7]

ahhh!!!! *sigh* this is such a great song!! thanks for all the lyrics and the really pretty background pictures.. i have to say..GREAT JOB!!!!! i really enjoyed the video. ^_^

[OwlsLoveMonsters]

"No cell phones, just 20,000 lights swinging on a Saturday night, alright"

Man i love that so much<3

[OwlsLoveMonsters]

Swaying* sowwy.

[Praetorian62]

@OwlsLoveMonsters It was pretty incredible

[rockndude87]

This song is REALLY easy and fun to play on guitar...John is such a great musician and artist! He writes such meaningful music

[TheRedemptionzl]

five for fighting ROCKS

[Jeff98177]

Trivia: The tradition of holding up cigarette lighters (later cellphones) started at Woodstock. It was raining, and candles were passed out to the crowd.

[peacelovenj2010]

i love this song <3 amazing

[ThatEpicAsian]

Heard this song on the radio.

I instantly fell in love with it. Now this is REAL music. :)

[incubus442]

@ThatEpicAsian You probably won't be saying this after hearing it for the 400th time that it is played on the radio. And at the rate that this song is played, it won't take very long to reach that number.

[razorflame45]

The pic at 2:09 can you send it to me plz? :3

[gorrilaz96]

The pic at 2:00, can you add the source? It looks awesome!

[haleyxxo013]

ON REPEAT.

[ForeignEquus]

The pictures make this AMAZING song even better!! Great job, JalapaoMaji!

[LumpyLanny]

this song just reminds me of when i was just a bit younger and i hated this generation that i was born in and this song is just indiscriable

[TheHamBurgerLP]

@Liamblue48 because thats the only type of rap you hear on the radio.., you dont hear real HIP HOP in the mainstream..
