This is Vienna ♥

[bloodwolfsaga]

[harrypotterfan477]

To the most beautiful and amazing person in the world . . . Hey, my love :) This is crazy, everything coming full circle, and love, I have no idea what God's doing . . . But, love - I love it, and I'm so grateful, and I've never seen miracles like this. I love you. I love you, my love, and this has been the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my entire life, and I love you . . . I love you so much . . . We're going to make it through, my love. It's just God, and I trust him. I love you, Sky.

[MichaelJfanatic]

aww theother amazing top comment is gone :( that comment got me through some stuff

[herga15]

i love this song , it reminds me of someone .

"Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again and straighten this whole thing out"

[WilkGeo]

Im a straight male and this song touched me

[smcg2197]

I want this song played at my funeral. and @flowergirl488 ur comment made me cry <3

[nadeshikofan]

I <3 this song :D

[ChickGamer1990]

absolutely love this song... except 1:53 when he hits a sour note

[IsaacThefrayVevo]

did he write this song about his wife? and if it is tell me why :P

[ChickGamer1990]

Two top comments - a message of never giving up and musing about death sausages...

I freaking love youtube

[MichaelJfanatic]

when he says cause im already gone the second time my heart melts. this songs makes me cry

[MichaelJfanatic]

@MichaelJfanatic ha i didnt know you could reply to yorself! hahahaha

[Registole]

don't do it.

[xsidDviciouss]

this songs triggers me like a motherfucker.

[shrotcake]

This song makes me tear up

[Hunedpcl7]

Listened to this with my boff <3

[millonsofsmiles56]

@Lmydiamond Not another one of these. Seriously, if a song is good, it'll stay good no matter how old it is. Yeah, it was good when it was new, it's good in 2011, and it will still be good 100 years from now.

[bluepill96]

Like if Stella Kim brought u here ;]]]

[TheWeirdoShow100]

I cried.

[TheDarkRaged]

sorry i thought it was the same song as billy joels vienna, i just thought it was the same and instantly thought billy's is better and this to be good. i thought wrong. sorry :)

[TheDarkRaged]

billy joel's version is better. but this is good too :)

[TheBrunetteBarbie11]

I made a video In Memory Of Ryan Dunn. This was the song I used as backround music. Now everytime I listen to this I feel like crying.

[softballgurl1243]

I think the songs has different meanings... It could be a love song, or about the hollocaust

[ge5undhe17]

first I was like ='(

Then I was like =')

[Arkdogs]

And lastly, 'So, this is your maverick. This is Vienna...'

Maverick means independence, doing what you will and when you will.

Saying, the rest of the world may have it's fancies and riches and freedoms, but this is just Vienna. The place they live is not a maverick, it's simply Vienna.

(Sorry I had to copy and past- youtube won't let me post the link. It came from the forum "Hello Beastie")

[Arkdogs]

Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again

Straighten this whole thing out

Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy

-maybe your people and my people will put their differences aside.

[Arkdogs]

There's really no way to reach me...'

There was absolutely no way to contact anyone inside the camps, and no contact going out either.

'Because I'm already gone...'

By the time the liberators got there, a lot of people had already died.

The entire second verse makes me think of the prisoner's screaming from help from foreign countries to come in and save them from the situation.



[Arkdogs]

"Has anyone ever related this to World War 2 and or the Holocaust?

Vienna, Austria is an area where a portion of the Holocaust happened.

'The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in...'

When the prisoners were being brought to camps, it was, for many, a one-way ticket train.

'There goes the downpour... There goes my fare thee well...'

Men from women, families from families, people from themselves. It's goodbye, and knowingly, for good.

[Arkdogs]

I couldn't figure out what they lyrics meant and even more couldn't see how this is a suicide song. It would be incredibly vague to simply be that, I feel. So I tried looking for other thoughts. I think this is an interesting view of the lyrics:

[XCrazyButNotPsychoX]

Well this is uhmmm weird??? Because my name is Vienna xD (no joke!) lmao !

[joewashere193]

I lost my best friend to sadness

speaking these words at arms length

he said: to shake things up as hard as you can

and if you figure it out by god tell everyone

he said: failing is not just for failures

it's for everyone, failures just have more experience

but you can't quit now, you have to climb all night

[joewashere193]

climb everyone of their towers, and show them your life

but if I'm a quitter now, I promise I'll quit her in the end

I don’t need these weapons, I’ll set my heart to win

with the weight of the world trying to stop me

breathe out, then inhale my little heartbeat

and I'll do this for you, because the world might need it

if I don't I'll lose hope, and we'll end up losing it (oh well)

[nikkidice52392]

i love this song...it gives me chills

[eMarieSaysSo]

Incredible. I have loved this song for years.

[LoneWulf428]

That was the wrong fair. it's "fare". It's probably already been mentioned and I know it won't be edited or w/e, but had to say it.

[RegRage1000]

Hahahaha!! That lil argument down there is hilarious

[hany259]

i'm already gone.

[BurnMySanity]

would help if you culd spell Help

[BassDude50000]

im trying to get into this stuff, i like it

[Dixpix120]

This is Vienna. :)

[Robertfrostistheansr]

This song puts me in another place

[willthebullet]

At 1:37 there's her name...

[buddyrocks88]

I LOVE THIS SONG. <3 p.s hi laura! (:

[midget6mafia]

fuck the frey, Billly Joel mother fuckers

[ToxxicXlove]

@midget6mafia ...Troll much?

[lindl101]

@midget6mafia

It would elp if you could spell The Fray.

[hummelchen4]

I don't have a clue why "The Fray" isn't more popular. I mean the make awesome music and their lyrics are great. I can't tell any song by them I 'm not fond of!

Love these guys<3

[appleunlockier]

by far the saddest song, I a grown 29 year old man cried too hard while listening to this song while losing the love of my life.....sigh even a year later :(

[kimhateselephants]

I love this song so much.

I dislike how it's not very well-known...

[Capinyx]

@kimhateselephants That makes it even better.

[KHnaruto29]

this song is amazing. so sad and tugging. no words can describe this.

[Brokenarm101]

@Pheyt14 how to save a life, I think

[Pheyt14]

hey, which album was this?

[FinalHeavenZero]

yeah, but i still wanna live in Vienna someday

or Prague

[Ginteru]

It's funny cause in my language "Vienas" means 1, or alone.

[KHnaruto29]

@Ginteru so you speak Lithuanian.

[Ginteru]

@KHnaruto29

Yup

[KHnaruto29]

@Ginteru awesome. i always thought that was a beautiful language.

[Ginteru]

@KHnaruto29 thank you.

[lCoNviKtl]

Sounds so cliche, but this is the song of my life. For two years, i keep coming back to it. Everything is just so perfect it, so defining of my personality. Ahh, i could go on forever, this song is just part of me. so cliche, but so honest.

[jbdanielle20]

FAVE SONG EVER!!!!!!!!

[flowergirl488]

Guys, never give up on life. You are loved, whether you realize it or not. Never give up. Everything fights to live, people, animals, and trees. Life is beautiful. Don't ever give up. Get help. Message me, if you want. It's not ever worth it. Please, please, please never get there. Please. You are loved. If by no one else, than by me.

[nikkichicki13]

@flowergirl488 ive needed to hear that for a long time

[guylandry1992]

@flowergirl488

i have to say that you have a gift you might not know of. those words you have written many people need to hear them everyday and i wish there could only be a way for t hem all to read them or if possible, hear them. God has given you a gift your words can save someone from doing something unchangeable that they could forever regret keep it up.

[stephenpeppard]

@flowergirl488

I know you wrote that a while ago,but i just wanted to say how much of a beautiful person you are!

[rampaginwalrus]

@flowergirl488; “What is love? Love is when one person knows all of your secrets... your deepest, darkest, most dreadful secrets of which no one else in the world knows... and yet in the end, that one person does not think any less of you; even if the rest of the world does.”

-Anonymous

[MegaWolfeyes]

@flowergirl488 I really doubt that I am loved. If you ask me, i say that no one ever really understands what this feels like untill they are going through it. So do try to tell me that someone loves me.

[DungeonDweller05]

@flowergirl488 You're an amazing person. :)

[malcolmwhat]

i really like this song

[hermionejgranger4eva]

@livexthexlife192

It reminds me of my visit to Vienna anyway XD

[Maddieday22]

Oooo chills ;)

[NorthShore4165]

Love this song, Love the album, listen to it every day, helps me relax, helps me think...LOVE THE FRAY!<#(LL)

[XFlamesOfAmberX]

this songs explains perfectly what im going through..

[lokalaks]

this song helps me relax:) the whole album is great:)

[xoyankeesfan]

i feel like this song has most meaning when it doesn't make sense at all.

[3vegemite]

Greetings from Vienna. Thsi song reminds me of my Australian ex-girlfriend. Yeah... long distance relationships...I really felt a lot like this song after we broke up.

[AliceEmmaWatson]

He definately has a distinct voice doesn't he. Amazing though. I love that they have a range of varieties of songs - form slow to upbeat to happy to sad. I Love The Fray. Hope they keep doing what they do best, which is making amazing songs like this one (: (: (:

[superstereogirl]

I'm from vienna, its a beautiful city with lots to do and see.

[Randommininacat16]

I want to see Vienna..

[somebodyisme10]

vienna is friggin amazing, screw you @segentich -.- hundreds of years of culture and history lie in that beautiful city. I personally love it, its my second home

[sariandresha]

<3 beautiful song

I live in vienna ;)

[EllieLikesJellie]

The Fray should do a tour in the UK this year!!! :) I love them so so so so much xxx

[TeamShox1950]

This song is soooo awesome. it makes me wanna cry everytime I hear it because it kinda reminds me of me and my ex. like going thru a break up {evn tho we only dated for 2 weeks} was so bad. I knew him for like 2 years and now he doesn't even speak to me at all. They should have released this song as a single. They would have gotten soooo much recognition for it. i dont see how anyone can not like the song

[Randommininacat16]

most amazing song ever. haha and yesterday i hated it. the best songs take getting used to.

[AndrewJamesYo]

lmao they definately do

[Randommininacat16]

@AndrewJamesYo indeed

[Randommininacat16]

this song just helped me finally write what i think about love. it was hard and left me in the Ultimate Pit of Despair and Utter Gloom, but i did it. it's out now.

[pikkpest]

ooooooooommmmmmmmmmgggg what?? theres some ppl here that dont know where VIenna is ? unbelievable.. really... vienna is the capital of Austria,...AUSTRIA IS IN EUROPEE guysss.......come on...u ppl r such ignorants.. anywayy I love this song.. my boyfriend moves there(IN VIENNA) and Im still in italy... waiting 4 him to come back ! this is the best song that I ever heard from the fray!

[dyslexicxheart]

Actually, Austria is in Europe. (one e)

[AndrewJamesYo]

this song makes me sad

i love the fray

[Randommininacat16]

@AndrewJamesYo same...

[Iranitas]

i dont really like the song. i only like rock and roll. but i atleast like the music in it.=) : 0

[TheBigamp]

vienna is the capital of austria.. but why the fuck is this being discussed on here? .-. makes no sense..

[MrRocker05]

itz a song dud3 if u dont lik it why r u listenin to it!

[sashachio]

wow i'm laughing my ass off while reading the comments ... vienna is the capital of germany lol :D rightt... just like ottawa is the capital of the us... yea :DD

[swebbo]

WIEN

[gigiliddell2006]

Ironically enough, this is my cell phone ring... I had never read the lyrics till today. I just chose it for the beautiful piano introduction. But it makes so much sense. "There's really no way to reach me".

[provedimovikendzaje1]

omg....you people are such ignorants, you should be ashamed for not knowing where vienna is.

[provedimovikendzaje1]

yeah

[KathyTheres93]

VIENNA IS `THE CAPITAL OF AUSTRIA IT`S NOT IN GERMANY ... why do I know this??? I live near vienna and go to school there!!!!!!

[Komarz18]

Vienna is the capital of Austria....omg

[kashaef]

I think this song means an emotional death of a person.

[dancinganthony1]

vienna is probably the place you go to after ya die ( vienna- heaven).

[userdotnet]

well, actually it's a town in germany =O

Your suggestions makes more sense, though

[turninorange5]

umm i think vienna is in austria not germany

[jacksonblade33]

wow youre an idiot

[soccer21928]

seriously?? whats the capital of austria? VIENNA!!!!

[pllpaige1]

Vienna means `death` . Well in the song Vienna by Billy Joel it means death. Not sure about this song. But i think it means the same thing.. "This is Vienna" - "This is death"

[medgr8st]

Billy Joel described Vienna as a 'Cross road in his life'. If this song is based on this, it might be describing the sense of leaving the beauty of the past behind and moving to a future far away from all that you remember. That's what it means to me...the beauty of songs like this one is that different people interpret it differently :) I, for example have started a new phase in my life :)

[missbrittielynn]

Billy Joel also grew up in Vienna. It is like his second home. I spent all my high school years in Vienna and Billy Joel visits it a lot.

[Mr4tails]

So wat is dis deeper meening?

[geitebukk]

it's also the capital of austria.

[Mr4tails]

wat does vienna mean anyways? but besides dat i luv the song.

[DyingFairytale]

Its a place. unless it has some other meaning..

I also know sombody named Vienna

[Mr4tails]

OOH, its a place, dat kinda makes sence

[lCoNviKtl]

it actually has a deeper meaning.

[materialgurl1]

luv dis song

[FinIsHere]

Lol a lot of people named Vienna.

Like the sausages! Jk, great song, it's in my sleeping playlist. Helps me dream.

:D

[iluvbubbles2]

you should add Dear Friend by Stacie orrico that one gets me knocked out lol

[djsimply]

my name is sienna=-P

closeXD

[Ifakk5]

lol :P

[93accoz31]

We smile for casual closure capturing. = ]

[SummerI3reeZe]

This song gives me creeps. <3

The whole album is amazing

[SupaStarr00]

lol, i love this song and my name is Vienna :D

[Wolfgirl556]

i love this song, i listen to it everyday. the fray is awesome. theyre songs mean things people can relate too, like me. and the fray, i think, are trying to help people out in the world, trying to relate to them. i can understand why.. this world isnt going so well right now... its so sad... =( people arent being nice to each other, wars are happening, i really wish it would stop... =(

[VoiceOfRose]

I know it´s sad how bad things are going, but think how much we can now appreciate all the good thing that happens. : )

[starwarmaster]

The song is called Vienna cause its my name!!jkjk lol but my name is really Vienna my boyfriend sends me this song when im sad it

[relaxburcn]

Why is this song called vienna?

[sarahmarieakaelba]

I thank you that you have this song all the people show. :)

The song has so much impact ...

[BrickSwitch04]

in this song vienna doesn't mean a name or a place.. love the last few lines of the song.

[njstock]

This is my favourite fray song.

[livexthexlife192]

ok ppl this song has NOTHING to do with the actual place Vienna lol. Vienna is often used as a methaphor to represent death in literature. & a maverick is a word used to describe a loner, or someone who independently stands aprt from his associates. i thnk this song is about death, or being so gone emotionally, & giving up on everything & not having any1 there for you. & towrads the end the shock of being alone hits them & they realize tht they are a "maverick" & the only thing left is "vienna"

[peanut00750]

you nailed it mate

[Sadlullabiesdreamer]

@livexthexlife192 thank you

That was a beautiful description.. Thanks! =)

[Awkmore]

@livexthexlife192  I so totally agree

[idrewamark]

@livexthexlife192

does that mean vienna sausage means death sausage? =(

[SpassMacher2000]

@livexthexlife192

I think the song conveys feelings of being homesick and alone in a foreign place. Hence the name Vienna.

[jkyep13]

@livexthexlife192 Thank you :)

[superrubbrduckiii]

love it love it love it used to the song without lyrics but use earphones listen 4 times anddddddddddd you'll be addicted. its hard to comprehend, give yourself time ^_^

[BeththeBooshx]

i love austria!

[number1animechick]

nice, i luv it

[madness465]

i think this would very much suit new moon. i know i may seem like one of those people who never stops thinking of twiliight and any song reminds them of twilight... but im not.... lol. and this song seems suitable for new moon. even though i know edward isnt going to vienna... he is going to venice.... i hope i spelled that right..... lol. haha :) yeahh....

[freaxproduction]

Ok I know its a place but at first Vienna was a name... I think it would be a pretty name... Isn't it???

[viennadoc4296]

That's my name :]

[bianca274]

I live in Vienna (Austria) =)

But I think that there is also a town in the USA that is called Vienna... maybe that's the one the title refers to??

Does anybody know the back story to the song?

[rhiannontheamazon]

your right there is vienna, virginia in the usa i live near there vienna its near washington d.c

[Horseyy777]

sorry to sound unintellegent guys but umm where bouts is vienna lol and ill appreciate an asnwer with a few sarcasm in it lol

[xerwgwnapoume]

i m going to vienna in 2 months to stay for erasmus... about a year... i hope i make it through... i about to listen to this song there again...

[prinzalot]

Austria is sooo amazing!!! i love it. the people are so laid back over there and its so clean and the landscape is awsome!!!

[shiley116]

cool

i live in vienna

[number1animechick]

hey i know that this is probably kinda stupid but ... what is maverick and Vienna? O.O i need to know

[Magifix002]

Vienna is the capital from austria in europe and I think a maverick is a cow without a brand but I´n not sure about that.

P.S. I´m living in austria =)

[number1animechick]

thank you very much!!! that's really awesome that you live there...is it a good country?? lol :P but anyway...i think that info about the cow and stuff is making sense. but thanks again for taking the time to answer my question. :D

[Magifix002]

yeah I think so Austria is a quite good country but it´s a pity that there is no sea around it only some stupid mountains =)

you´re welcome =)

[shiley116]

vienna is the capital of austria (europe)

[stupsii]

i find austria a little boring :p

but some very good ski-loactions, I must say ;)

i live in germany :D
