HAPPY THANKSGIVING: We wanted to take a moment, on this unique American holiday, to thank you for sticking with us for all this time. Though you may remember our Dark Shadows group as "Steadfast," we're rebuilding the group on the Codelphia site as "Immortal Dark Shadows" and are looking forward to your participation. Click the logo below for updates on our progress.



NEW PROGRESS: Before we could start on the actual pages and routines for the new Immortal group, we had to get the framework of our new Codelphia site up and running. We're excited to announce that the new site home page is fully functional at last!






Codelphia is also proud to host Sunny (Nora) and Hope (ErieCat)'s Dark Shadows Showcase site at: www.codelphia.com/showcase/
In addition to the most complete set of Festival pictures on the web, their Showcase features rare collectables, cast photos, Secret Room message board, and dozens of videos and animations.

ABOUT THE MUSIC: I hope you'll take the time to listen to the remarkable song playing as background. The lyrics in green are the portion used in the sample for this card. A link to the full-length song appears below along a bit about the artist and his music.

Five For Fighting: The Riddle

There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him

Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me

He said,

Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see

Then he said,

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me

He said,

Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me

And Hey Dad

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

I said,

Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?

There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see

He said... You looking for a clue I Love You free...

The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is high
over me
Something comes over me

I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely

Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

On his third disc, Two Lights, John Ondrasik, the one-man musical marvel known as "Five for Fighting" proves yet again; all that's standing between him and peace of mind is a song. He shines on tracks like the near criminally pretty "The Riddle," which may find the listener fighting the urge to hug the next person they meet. In satisfying himself, Ondrasik gives us all his greatest gift... his music!
