I just found this by accident, I don't know if anyone mentioned it before here. But read the tracklist of this CD by Dashboard Confessional.

I love Dashboard Confessional. Here's a quote about the song:

"Okay, here's how that came about. First of all, my middle name is Ender, so when I saw the book I was like "Wait a minute!" And I got way into that book and I shared it with a friend, and then that song was actually a Vacant Andy's song just called "Ender," and it was written out of the fact that the friend and I kinda shared that book together and got a lot out of it, and we read the whole series of four together.Then we sorta had a falling out as friends, and talking about the book again brought us back to being friends again. So I had written the song when we weren't getting along so well. And I wanted to be able to get along with that person again, and I didn't have a title,but then after we started getting along again we started talking about the book again and I was like "let's just call this Ender." But it was a Vacant Andy's song and it was a rock song and it was a HEAVY song. And so when I re-recorded it, I just called it "Ender Will Save Us All." It had a way of saving our friendship. "

This is of course another good reason to like DC. I mean, no one who likes Ender's Game can be all bad right?
