Superman (For Alon, the Hostages, and their families)

The strength and perseverance of our hostage families, while enduring over seventeen months of unimaginable torment and devastation, often seems Superhuman. I am honored to collaborate with current hostage Alon Ohel’s mother Idit, brother Ronen, and family and friends with this new version of “Superman” to support Alon and all hostages and their families.

We felt it appropriate to change the “Superman” lyric to honor the heroic spiritual fortitude of every hostage and those who have worked tirelessly for their release since October 7th 2023.

May they all soon
“Find a way to Fly
To a home I will soon see”

Thank you for this. I am a History professor and put all my lectures on YouTube. One reason was to educate people about all of this. What you do with music matters so much 💙

My husband and I are Jewish Americans and my husband is a U.S. Army veteran. "Superman (It's Not Easy)" helped us weather the trauma of September 11th as well as the anxiety of my husband's military deployments to Afghanistan. Now "Superman" is helping us stand strong again - with our fellow Jews and with all the citizens of Israel - in the ongoing aftermath of October 7th. Thank you, John Ondrasik, for standing up for the hostages, the State of Israel, and the Jewish people...Am Yisrael Chai.
