If every album provides snapshots of where an artist’s mind at heart is at the moment, Slice, the latest offering from John Ondrasik (aka Five for Fighting), is a collection of digital jpegs and faded Polaroids. The album takes stories of friends, family and even American servicemen, and sets them to music shot through with the spirit of the great songs of his youth. It’s a diary, or a blog, in which Ondrasik speaks his mind about current issues, experiences and sentiments, while setting those thoughts to piano, bass and drums. [Source: One2OneNetwork]
If you loved Superman you will love this album (in my opinion of course). If you really liked 100 Years, you will REALLY like this album (again, in my opinion). Some albums are made where you like only a handful of songs, they resonate with you because of a time in your life, an event, some meaning is hidden in the words that shoots through your emotions. Five for Fighting has created an album (again in my opinion) that each song represents an event in our country, our lives, our emotions are touched. Some songs on the album make you want to get up and dance, cry, laugh at a memory, or just smirk. Here are the fabulous tracks to this new album:
1. Slice
2. Note To The Unknown Soldier
3. Tuesday
4. Chances
5. This Dance
6. Above The Timberline
7. Transfer
8. Hope
9. Story Of Your Life
10. Love Can’t Change The Weather
11. Augie Nieto

Music has always been an important "slice" of my life. I grew up playing the piano and singing in choirs. My daughter plays piano and cello, and my son plays sax. I spend quite a bit of time at concerts, etc. Love Five for Fighting also and would love to win this CD. Thanks so much! pamelashockley(AT)netscape(DOT)net

Music is a great memory recaller; certain songs remind me of events and/or people!

I don't think I could live without music. I spend a good amount of time with it, including singing in a choral society, sometimes singing in musicals on stage, listening to it in the car…and encouraging my daughter to keep feeding her talent in music. Thanks!

Music is an essential part of my day, from my alarm clock, to the Wiggles we watch while gettng dressed in the morning (I have a toddler!), the car radio on the way to work, to the silly songs we sing on the drive home, and lullabies at night… I alo often use Pandora or play my ipod during the workday – music is necessary!
Music has been part of my life since I was small! My dad liked to play instruments and I play the piano! I love to listen to music every day.

Music has been a big part of my life. As a child my family always had music playing either on the radio or stereo. Yes, I grew up in the LP days.
I always have music playing now. There is always a song that will match my mood or a song that will make the day go better.
Music has been a "slice" in your life by being there for me in both good times and bad.
I became your Facebook fan.
