John Ondrasik, the singer-songwriter behind Five for Fighting鈥檚 鈥淪uperman鈥濃�攁 tribute to New York heroes after the 9/11 attacks鈥攈as altered part of the song to reflect the suffering of Israeli hostages, using it as a symbol of hope in troubling times.

“I’ve seen through my career how music can bridge divides, it can provide solace to those who are in need, and provide fortitude and clarity,” Ondrasik said on “The Jason Rantz Show.” “(After 9/11) America came together in ways I’d never seen before, and haven’t seen since.”

‘Superman’ dedicated to Israeli hostages

Ondrasik revised “Superman” to better reflect the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, putting a focus on the hostages left in the wake.

“I was reached out to by a hostage who has been in Gaza for more than 620 days, and her son is a piano player,” Ondrasik said. “She said, ‘Can we do something musically to keep the spotlight on the hostages,’ and I thought a new version of ‘Superman’ would be appropriate.”

Ondrasik explained that showing sympathy for a terrible event like the Hamas attacks on October 7 can come from anybody.

“I’m not Jewish. You don’t have to be Jewish to condemn Hamas. You just have to be sane,” Ondrasik said. “We’ve seen such a horrible disgrace from the music industry. They stand for human rights and women’s rights, but their silence on October 7 has been disgraceful.”

Ondrasik dove deeper into the lack of awareness from a music industry he has been so familiar with in the past.

Five for Fighting鈥檚 singer calls out Macklemore

“The first feeling is shame, it’s a shame that I’m a part of this industry,” Ondrasik said. “You see the younger acts like Macklemore and these bands that have been seduced by wokeism, and of course, that makes you angry.”

He continued to say that of the members who stood with Ondrasik in New York after 9/11, they should speak out again.

“They know better. They know that Hamas is evil, and they have remained silent. And that harkens back to 1938 when those with an influence remained silenced before the Holocaust,” Ondrasik said.
