John Ondrasik - You are the One (Unreleased Song)
An unreleased song or demo with just John at his piano, possibly from the early 1990s (it was sent in with a bunch of John Scott songs from 1990 and 1991). That said, nothing is known about what project this is for or exactly when it's from. John is already using his Five for Fighting style here, with tons of falsetto. Unlike on the John Scott songs, which used session musicians on piano, the piano playing here sounds like John himself.
This is the final song I have from John's early career, and I think it's a fitting one to end on. It sounds like the closing track to a modern FFF album or even the sort of thing he would play live in concert today, yet it could be more than 30 years old.

John Ondrasik - I Don't Want to Love You (Unreleased Song)
Переглядів 28Місяць тому
A lost song that was sent in on a cassette labeled "John Scott." I've since learned that this is not actually a John Scott track, but the fact that it came in with that label makes me think it is from the same era. Maybe early 1990s. That said, the only thing certain about this track is that it's John Ondrasik singing, already using his Five for Fighting style. Also, that note at 2:21 Wow! If y...
John Scott - Ride the Storm (1990)
Переглядів 502 місяці тому
Another unreleased John Scott track, which is one of my favorites so far. "Ride the Storm" is one of the mellowest of the John Scott songs, with John Ondrasik singing in a softer tone more similar to his later Five for Fighting style. Special thanks to John Scott guitarist Scott St. Clair Sheets for sending this in.
John Scott - On Account of Love [1990]
Переглядів 162 місяці тому
Perhaps the most hard-driving of the John Scott songs, "On Account of Love" comes from 1990. Vocalist John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) sounds a bit like Axl Rose in parts of this recording, and why not? He and Axl shared a vocal teacher (Ron Anderson), after all. HQ file sent in by guitarist Scott St. Clair Sheets.
John Scott - Breaking Down the Walls (1990)

Another John Scott track from 1990, with lyrics that may be inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall the year prior. The main vocalist is John Ondrasik. This track also features some guest backing vocalists not heard on the other John Scott tracks. Special thanks to John Ondrasik and Scott Sheets for granting this channel permission to share these lost John Scott tracks. Got any John Ondrasik or...
John Scott - Carry On (1990)
Переглядів 354 місяці тому
It sounds like a hit to me, but this song from one of John Ondrasik's earliest collaborations has never been heard before. "Carry On" is from the band John Scott, which primarily consisted of John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) and Scott Sheets (Pat Benatar), with contributions by Rudy Sarzo, Tim Pierce, and many others. Sent in by Scott Sheets.
John Scott - On the Streets Again (1990)
Переглядів 915 місяців тому
This song was written by John Ondrasik (Five for Fighting) and Scott Sheets (Pat Benatar) in 1990 and was later re-recorded as "Turn the Wheel" by Sheets' band St. Clair in 1997. This version, with John's vocals, is being released here for the first time. Special thanks to John and Scott for granting this channel permission to post this song. Song file provided by Scott.
John Ondrasik - Enter Thy Peace (Rare Song, Year Unknown)
Переглядів 1066 місяців тому
An unreleased song with John Ondrasik on vocals, most likely dating from the early or mid 1990s. It has some interesting gospel influences in the second half. I was able to find just one outside record of this unreleased song, which gives John the sole songwriting credit. Everything else about it, including the year or who else played on this track, is unknown. If you know more about this song,...
John Ondrasik - And Then There's You
Переглядів 3869 місяців тому
A never before heard song with John Ondrasik on vocals. This song is so rare that I’d never even seen the song title before. It came off a cassette labeled “John Scott” (a project that Ondrasik had been the vocalist for) but I have since learned that this is not a John Scott song. It’s obviously Ondrasik singing, but beyond that, I know nothing about it, not even a year. Given that it came off ...

    Pretty sure that's Tim Pierce on lead guitar and Rudy Sarzo on bass. I used to write with John in the early 90's on Tuesday nights with another very nice guy named Carey Beare, John gave me a cassette of this song. I remember asking him about the solos, I was so knocked out by them. Great song too.

      Hi Bobby, thanks for listening. I actually have quite a few of John’s songs from the early 90s that I know almost nothing about. If you get in touch with me at johnondrasikrepository@gmail.com I would be happy to let you hear them. They might be songs you and Cary Beare worked on. I'll also update the description to say that Pierce and Sarzo likely contributed to this track -- thanks for the info! -Brandon at the Ondrasik Archive channel

    i may have a clue maybe its demos for the upcoming 1997 album Message For Albert because i have a new archive yt channel about Train (Band) they started doing demos long before there 1998 album Self titled so its probably like train for example train's demo sessions like (Tapes: Hanz/X-it Which Pat Monahan from train was in) Train: (95 demo) (96 demos aka LTD) (98 demos) You get the gist but since John Scott was doing work with john or just john himself than its indeed unknown... Love When new songs are found from FFF and man i can see why its hard finding this stuff its tough since i'm doing the same stuff My yt channel is Pat Monahan Archive (Train) and this song you upload is very good too :)
