The Fray were among the first of the flood of bands that combined the influence of British neo-stadium acts like Coldplay and Keane, the retro-AOR bands of the mid-'90s -- chief among them Counting Crows and the Wallflowers -- and American emo-pop bands like Something Corporate and Jimmy Eat World. The Denver four-piece has the requisite piano and flag-waving choruses of the Brits, the slick sound and unfailing conservatism of the AOR bands, and the over-emoted vocals and confessional nature that are cornerstones of emo. All the songs on their debut, How to Save a Life, sound almost exactly alike and also exactly like you would expect -- sincere, melodic, authentic, and bereft of anything surprising or exciting. This doesn't make for the kind of record that people will want to listen to over and over again but for modern ock, it isn't half-bad. A couple of songs, like "Over My Head (Cable Car)" and "Dead Wrong," might even sound good in the background of a WB teen drama.

"Let's rearrangeI wish you were a stranger, I could disengageSay that we agree and then never change"--??"Over My Head (Cable Car)"?? by The Fray=========================================Those lyrics to me speak of having strong feelings about someone, and about sometimes you wish you didn't have those feelings simply because that would make it easier to deal with things.

When I first heard this song I couldn't believe all it had within it that relaterd to me. Perhaps it is my own perception, but this song breaks my heart yet I can't stop listening. July 7th 2006 I 'Lost A friend that night' who was a son to me as well as friend. I keep thinking about if I had stayed up with him all night he would still be here. But the next day I found in in bed gone from me. H...

I really have to be in a "mood" to listen to The Fray. I don't know what that "mood" is, exactly, however, I'm listening to The Fray right now. This must mean I am in said "mood."However, I'm not really enjoying The Fray right now. So maybe I'm not. In a "mood."I'm done with quotes. And moods. For now, that is.

I have to keep this short today because typing is both slow and uncomfortable for me. Yes, sports fans, I've fractured my wrist.On my way to work on Friday morning, I slipped on a patch of ice - I'd love to be able to tell you that I was playing hockey or something - but no, I was just wandering along when I slipped. Didn't think there was a whole lot wrong at first but cut to a few hours later...

I was playing The Fray's album "How to Save A Life" and this song really jumped out at me. It's got a really deep and sad feeling about it. I believe it's been featured in a few tv shows aswell.The video's from one of their live shows in sydney and doesn't do the song any justice at all but you'll get a rough idea. Salmon

Well this album came out in like 2004...and I got it when it first came out because i heard the song cable car, when it came out....in 2004, yes contrary to popular belief they existed before they were on the radio!!! SHOCKER!!!!! anyway, they're OK. The song cable car is catchy which makes it perfect for the mindless radio listeners who are just looking for an "awesome" "rock" band to listen ...

The Fray - Vienna Lyrics The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in We smile for the casual closure capturing There goes the downpour There goes my fare thee well There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me There's really no way to reach me 'Cause I'm already gone There's so many words that we can [...]

The Fray - Trust Me Lyrics Looking for something I've never seen. Alone and I'm in between, The place that I'm from and, The place that I'm in; A city I've never been. But I found a friend or should I say a foe? Said there's a few things you should know. We don't want you to see. We come and we go. Here today, [...]
