The Fray - How To Save A Life [Official Video HD]

[Whitewolf2220]

The story of two drowning swimmers. I just wish that in reality she had sat down and talked with me, gave me choices or answers. I know that I wouldn't have walked away without trying like the song implies.

Just my opinion and experiences, not facts.

[daveandamber]

i think this song makes everyone think of someone

[dMaTzZ]

my brother died last month he was only 13='[

[iL0VEBREEZY]

@dMaTzZ He was so young! Sorry to hear about that. Hope you're okay :'(

[dMaTzZ]

@iL0VEBREEZY thank you he was great

[kris23snek]

Stop crying

[fiedawillums]

I Lost My Grandma 2 years ago!!!

[kcoddur]

I lost my father last night and I pray to God he's home at last. I love my dad and miss him so much.

[ninjaviolin96]

I love how this video's comments are about how they or someone they know needs help, and then everyone else jumps in to console them. Reminds me of what music can do and how it truly heals people, helping us get through all sorts of adversities. I think it's really a blessing. Love this song by the way.

[OmnislashV6]

Imagine you lost a pet dog... you grew up with him, then one day, after you come from school... you find him laying down on the grass, not breathing, then you hold him on your arms and hug him tight, then it suddenly rains hard....

I couldnt imagine it because it happened to me ....

[MrsJadeCrosby]

Lovely song sorry for all your loss's

[ADTRyeahbuddy]

Beautiful song.

[2alexin]

I lost my Best freind GOD PLEASE BLESS HIM!

[chadissmexyyeah]

My dog, died today, If I would of taken care of him, I would of saved a life, I Love him sooo Much, He would of been ten in a few days:{:{:{:{:{

[MrsJadeCrosby]

@chadissmexyyeah I'm sorry for your loss, he is in a better place

[153orange]

My father. My silent + caring + charming companion.

Miss you. :)

[yaqarah8]

THAT LIGHT IS REALLY KREEPY.

[Bryanjarman7]

i lost somebody my seven year old freind please remeber him

[bosszeroboss]

I love this song.

If the singer wants to lose his extra pounds, he should come to my gym.

I'd train him for free and show him how to lose his belly!

kbjj.com

[DanielSturk1]

@bosszeroboss :| all the comments are about people's friends and family dieing, the song is about a friend who dies, and you are self promoting your gym? seriously dude

[mrphillyphan321]

this song is sad

[xSantaxWolfx]

My dog, Magnum, just passed this morning. He was like a brother to me, it's hard to believe he's gone. It feels like a dream, and that I'm going to wake up and I'll be able to give him a hug...

He was only 8, and I just don't understand why he was taken from me so soon.

[123darkpix]

@hackensack16 Compared to the 1505 that do i dont think it matters

[formzylove]

i feel away from this world with a song like this i wish i can make everybody's pain go away.

[pickledkrystin]

@SuperShadow1782 I was adopted too.. I know exactly how you feel..

[SuperShadow1782]

This song reminds me of my life not perfect feeling un-loved being adopted is hard not seeing your mom since u were 4 makes u wonder if eveything happens for a reason....weres the reason

[blondedbythelight703]

I know what he means when he says "you stare politely right on through". So many fake, uncaring people in this world. You can see right through them, they have no conscience, no soul! It's really depressing!

[TwinklesMe]

this song is my soul...

[McIntyre236]

i love this song

[MustangMan2618]

It reminds me of my favorite grandfather who died last summer due to complete liver shutdown. I MISS YOU GRANDPA!!!!!!!! :'(

[animusicluver]

I miss my friend :.( I wish I could see him one last time.

I wish he were still alive

[ojmccaf63]

I love this song but what I don't get is this group is not even a *christian* rock group but Christian radio stations play this song whereas Coldplay has Christian themed songs "Viva La Vida" and "Lost" but yet they never got air time!!! ????

[coolen69]

i lost a very close friend of my mom, i thot of him as an older brother, i would have been glad to call him my dad, i wanted him to marry my mom than he got hit by a train 2 days ago, the codunter said that he tried to get away from the tracks but he couldnt move, he was struggling to get up but just couldnt get up, he was only 37! thats way to young! i remember when we were all playing and laughing, and he said he loved me... theres no way this was an accident, somone have had to do this 2 him!

[coolen69]

@coolen69 it has actually only been a day to get technical! :(

[bino20ice]

this song reminds me of my cat ming ming rip ming ming i miss you

[zhinbatuzai]

this song reminds me of my dog! arp arp arp please fray for him aw aw aw

[kosembnihat]

[horseluverlol]

this song makes me think of when I lost my grandpa. he raised me with my grandma because my parents where not around.:( this song is amazing though!

[kcoddur]

I lost my brother and am soon to lose my dad. I die a little bit everytime I hear this song. I enjoy this song though it is so sad. When death comes remember that it's a part of life.

[Dratini597]

To Everyone who has ever lost someone they care about, this song effects them differently. I feel sorry for those people. I can never stop crying when I listen to it for my own reasons, But this is one of the best songs I have ever heard.

[aimtoast95]

this makes me think about my father and how he walked out on my family

[Amazerfullz]

I love this song! I cried the first time listening to this... I think this is one of the best songs everr!

[kcoddur]

Listen to this song then get on your knees and thank GOD for all the blessings he's given you.

[jjboy157]

The worst part about reading these comments, is that you know that at least one of them is lying about these deaths, because they lack empathy in your lives, but that's ridiculous.

[coper3211]

Thumbs up if your still watching this in 2011 (:

[icydude1]

this reminded me of the xbox 360 ring of fire lol

[eclair0797]

RIP Kayla Lauren Levine, I love you so much Kayla, you were my best friend. You didn't deserve to die at 13. <3

To the 8 people that decided to dislike this song... If you don't like it then don't listen to it. If your gonna BS people for liking a song then that's kind of a d!ck move, you don't have to listen to it if you don't want to

[drockzzzme]

@YourShadower they are just giving there opinion about a song they arent BSing anyone

[warningoutcast]

@YourShadower nobody can dislike this song... they can maximally like more second vrsion of this video... I think thats the only reason why it has some dislikes....

i thank Lord and my family to fill my hopes up....

I LOVEU GUYS and now i thank the people who left me in the air cuz now i can realize what i have to say or do for my friends.... =)

[Luccelha]

[andreaescorpio]

[michael112007]

I cried so much and im crying as im typing and im a 16 yr old male.^^

[shortyrob77]

I thought this video sucked

[1337ballsofsteel]

7 people doesnt understand what life is.

now GTFO.

[SillaDeb]

It's not about suicide...or a car accident.

Search the song in Wikipedia, there it's explained. It's about teenagers with lots of issues and drugs etc.

[graysonbr]

Had no idea how it tied to Shelterwood in Denver. I hear it now and think of Richard Beach. You will be missed!

[SiletteDK70]

This is one of the most well written songs in the history of music. This song means so much and so many different things to everyone. But the fact that Isaac Slade wrote a song about a kid he barely knew but tried to help him get better before he died just says that that kid meant something to him and almost all of us can relate to something like that in some way

[p3t3rg0]

oh....this is a very nice song.....

[mynetworkiscool]

personally i think that everyone can interprete this song differently.. whether it being a car accident, suicide, or losing a friend in any way.

But for me, this song reminds me of when my best friend had to move. It hurt me so bad! I felt like I didnt belong anywhere. But she just recently moved back. I havent sem her yet, but she is going to be going to my school next year.

This song has always reminded me of her!

[liveallforHim]

“I lost a friend somewhere along in bitterness” Everyone has their own interpretation but I dont think this song is specifically about suicide or a car accident. i always thought of this song as losing a friend from trying to help them out when they are in the wrong so to speak. I think its about going to them trying to help out & just showing them where things are going wrong & their guard goes up & you lose that friend. Ive lost a friend that way, so thats probs why i see it like that

[ol191]

@liveallforHim I agree! I lost my sister 7 years ago, and everytime I hear this song I think of her

[liveallforHim]

@ol191 i'm so sorry to hear that..its such a great song to have for remembering someone though:)

[TTibble]

@rileyv45

its about suicide ya dipshit

how is it possibly about a car accident

[SilverSilvarii]

@TTibble Now now, do not bring negative energy on a sweet song =).

[maria300ma]

i started to realy think about it and the times ive tried to end my own and i treid putting myself in my best friends' place at my funeral and how they would feel...i nearly cry at the thought and so i cant listen to this song no longer....

[am09jcm96]

i'm completely confused .I thought this song was about someone that doesn't feel the same way .. like in a relationship . but people are talking about suicides and deaths . which kinda fits the title of the song >___> but i'm still confused ! D: can someone explain to me the meaning ?

[maria300ma]

@am09jcm96 its about suicide believe me

[Dinosaurjk]

this song makes me cry...it reminds me of one of my best friends...he used to listen to this song alot and it made him depresed so one day he decided he didnt want to live anymore and he attempted suicide...same day i got a txt from his bro and it said that my friend was in the hospital and he didnt know if he was gonna wake up...he survived and for most of the day i was crying it still makes me cry....i still talk to him and he's happier now but he still cutes himself...he gets made fun of

[paulalovespunk]

I would have stayed up with him all night...if I had known. :-) This song makes me think of him.

[TheChaosilverwolf]

what does this music video mean? I like this music video but what's happening to the people any way are they died of sleeping

[mikehlebik]

@TheChaosilverwolf it ties into the meaning behind the song. Issac Slade say the song is about all of the people that tried to reach a boy at a camp but were unsuccessful. Slade says the boy's friends and family approached him by saying, "Quit taking drugs or I won't talk to you again," but all he needed was some support. The verses describe an attempt by an adult to confront a troubled teen. The chorus laments that Slade himself was unable to save a friend because he didnt know how

[TheChaosilverwolf]

what does this music video mean? I like this music video but what's happening to the people any way?

[GlissReturns]

Why be sad or mourn for those who have died? they sure arnt sad! they are smiling down on you, constantly whispering, "I'm gunna be waiting for you, I'll keep a spot saved for you right next to me."

[h3rr0w]

@GlissReturns

God i hope that's true.

[Spargo1909]

Love this song

[KidBlackOps]

man this makes me sad my friend passed away 2 weeks ago :(

[TulipRox]

@KidBlackOps Aww, I'm sorry for your loss :'(

[KittyKittyMoewMoew]

im not exactly sure what the song means

[MeLiE89]

@KittyKittyMoewMoew It's talking about losing friends because of suicide.

[KittyKittyMoewMoew]

@MeLiE89 thats sad :'(

[MeLiE89]

@KittyKittyMoewMoew Yeahh :/

[paulalovespunk]

@MeLiE89 Actually, it's about drug use.

[AstroBlonde]

@MeLiE89 It's actually about how he spent a summer in a rehab helping out addicted kids, and its about losing friends to drugs.

[MeLiE89]

@AstroBlonde Well it could also be about suicide really..

[photonalfaboy]

im fat

[M2a2x2x]

From start to finish, Awsome. 

[DRzFinest1000]

i love dis song.. but im havin a hard time finding out the meaning of this song... Can someone please explain to me whats the meaning of this song?? PLEASE

[MarcusLaluke]

@DRzFinest1000 it's about a fray between isaac and his brother

[DRzFinest1000]
