  • @MrWeedshow THATS FUCKIN STUPID

  • @JazzyRoxUrSox408 wow guy you cant take a joke calm down.

  • @MrWeedshow thats a good song and you say this shit.....

  • I love this song because it's faithfully music...no effects, no tricks, no editing...They make music in a corridor without mikrophones and execution. However it sounds really good!

  • No drums? Improvise

  • this is my favvvorite version of this song. :)

  • very creative with the newspaper haha :]

  • I love that he's playing the "drums" on the steps with a newspaper, very creative ;-)

  • This is such a killer version. I have to tell you that watching Isaac's emotion build and build and then when he pulls off his beenie and closes his eyes......wow. ENCORE

  • webo,mmmmmmmm

    

  • oh my goodness i cannot go a day without listening to this song it is amazing even in a stair well they sound fantastic that is true talent!

  • sick i cant stop watching this video thanks for putting it on

  • sick

  • okay the 21 people who disliked this song, either need to see a psychiatrist, go to a mental institution, or are deaf because the vocals of this song is phoenominal, the sound quality isnt the best but thats because they are in a stair well and it echos so whoever disliked this song, seriously your deaf, or mental.

  • this is so honest...pure art

  • @caliburn1 this shows how good and genuine they are!

  • this is so bad ass, ive watched this a million times. haha so groovy

  • i wish i was on that stairwell that time

  • dude your voice is awesome, they back ups need to shut up and stick to music they kill the song by singing too, it sounds great until they come in, but you have a natural good voice and in order to sing that well in the environment your in with the echo in the room it still sounds awesome you are very talented Issac

  • only real talent can sound this good, in such a natural enviroment!!

  • natural and honest...i just love it, man

  • i love the Fray but i just didnt like this version, nevertheless ithink they are still amazing :D

  • simply awesome.

  • he's drunk! :D

  • @JinheneMongol

    he lives the song!

  • awesome just learnt this on guitar! love this song!

  • thiss a rly cool version

  • I love how he takes his cap off half way through the song

  • ok i like this and all but the back up singers are just killin it for me. just stick to your instruments and don't sing ha ha other than that the fray is the best

  • amazing, talented, awsome, beautiful sounding singers.. the fray and switchfoot are amazibg

  • Amazing.

  • i love it.. 

  • hmmm...

    steel stairs as drums

    and a stairwell performance...

    just perfect!

    as expected from the fray

  • nice.. newspapers as drums.. might try that one..

  • Im sorry, but i just starting listening to the fray and i have to say its really good for singing in a stairwell..Wow...theres so much and heart and soul in the music thy sing, Bravo!

  • i love it how they can perform anywhere and still sound as good as good as the album...put a modern pop singer in that situation..and they would sound terrible

    the fray is the best!

  • The best ever !!!

  • couldn't spend the 4,22 some place better. enough said.

  • LosAmoo

  • So Talented! Not many artist could pull this off and they did it amazingly.

  • They picked the place on purpose because hallways like that have great accoustics. I love how he changed the phrasing of the lyrics/melody.

  • @WigganNuG Acoustics are shit in there though and it looks cold

  • Love it=) if anybody has time id appriciate them checking out the two vids i have on my channel

  • Unbelievable!

  • Just saw them Live tonight! He really sounds good. Just as good live as the CD! Adore them :)

  • I saw them live

  • amazinggggg. :D

  • Lol, so genius. 5*

  • Early Morning, City Breaks.. <3

  • AMAZING!

  • issac slade!!!!!!! what a singer man.... love the fact that they love performing and music so much, that they'll do it anywhere!! lol

  • omg!!!!!!!!! this is awesome!!! i love how they can sing anywhere, and still sound great!

  • the fray rocks the stairs! bet you they the stairs to heaven,

  • That is a very beautiful song. I hav

    It on my iTunes.

  • hahahah..cool! just stirs! hahaha ♥

  • Absolutely FANTASTIC. Now that's wot I call raw talent

  • not gonna lie, he looks pretty weird in this one

  • This what music is...what happened to bands like this...AMAZING!! This song speaks to my soul...

  • Brilliant thing is he sounds the same in all of his performances, Live,Music Video and even here :), <3 The Fray XD

  • awsum!!! Just one thing where's the bass player haha? He shuda went on an acoustic bass :)

  • I'd like to see some of these modern day pop singers attempt to sing in a setting like this. Most would sound like crap.

    <3 the Fray

  • thats awsome. ima have to get some of those brush things. they work very good. good job guys

  • Early Morning, City Breaks...

  • guys you should put this in your album. the acoustic version! hope you can read this. Hollaback!

  • Hammer GEIL!!!

  • The BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How could one not be a fan of such raw talent?...

    My goal is to be as good a guitarist as though two....

  • using the news paper as drums? alright!

  • isaac slade hat einfach so ne geile stimme...hammer!!

  • i love the real music video, but i love this one even more. it epitomizes the raw power of the song. i mean, this song was meant to be sung in an emergency stairwell, on a park bench, in the real world! i'd be really impressed if they performed it in a park at night, or on a street corner, or on a bridge or something. who besides me thinks that's what the song is really about? i mean, God doesn't normally find people in recording studios. other bands should adopt this practice.

  • You had me agreeing until you brought "God" in it. "God" doesn't normally find anyone anywhere... all the best.

  • lol read the lyrics and you'll hate this song too?

    faggot

  • Anyone else think the "Emergency Alternate Escape" door in the background adds a little something? =)

  • @stemuse yeah, i agree. it's kinda like symbolism or sommat. nice.

  • his voice is just amazing!! they are the best!!

  • i love the harmony they created with the guitars

  • Raw talent! It's beautiful! Keep on singing - so wonderful!

  • Amazing...raw, original once of the best raw acoustic videos on youtube....

  • love it.

  • very well done.

    i heard you found me first on a local radio station, and im so impressed about the way they play there song. there so much in it that gives me gooseflesh, everytime i hear there music, now i have a copy of there album, i always listen to them after work... two thumbs up...

    p.s keep on inspiring people.

  • amazing!

  • That is Talent! Really awesome!

  • bouuuuh le chauve ! Mais j'aime
