How to Save a Life - The Fray - w/ Lyrics + Video [HQ]

[kevin64811]

sniff; sniff; ANNA

[goldranger222]

she's gone, and i can't do anything about it

[Brotender]

i hear ya dude...

[puglover45]

wow this song makes me cry soo much cuz this is how my life was the week before my drandpa died

R.I.P Grandpa!

[iownbadli]

my mom has cancer and i watched this vid and i was crying for 3 hours

[azer123click]

its about losing someone and how to cope with it wothout losing yourself

[pvtpuffy]

I think this applies to a broad range of subjects related to the loss of someone close. The numbered instructions in the video I think are the stages the people generally go through following a hard loss. I lost my gran earlier this year, I've gotten over it but this song (especially the video) can have me in tears for hours. Probably the best song i've ever heard. Music should be about emotions.

[briankho365]

nice vid, 5 stars

[MyRandomnezz]

GasperT i know what u mean but this one person really isn't my friend anymore but he choose the wrong path...

[GasperT]

Mainly I think it's about suicide. To me tho it's more about a long friend who is going down the wrong path and in turn is damaging their lives. Eventually they will die doing what their doing. You could be the one to risk everything to save them but never for once thought you would have a dramatic effect on them until you actually think. But It's too late...

[TheCouragousGirl]

I think its about suicide.*starts thinking back* about a kid who wakes to her mothers complaing over money.And goes to school and harrased by the other kids if she crys theyll eat her alive if she fights they think shes a freak.She drives home with her father whose been drinking.Then she meets a friend and hes a good friend but to show shes not weak they fight often around others but r nice by themselves.Then she makes a mistake and he breaks her wrist and they all spit on her.

[TheCouragousGirl]

*snaps out*to much.

[kaspter]

Every person reacts different on this song/video. So su and don't act smart. Everyone acts the song different.

[ultragrunt117]

this song is about abuse of drugs and how one of them lost a friend who died from drugs...........now ask yourself if your best friend started doing drugs what would you do would you tell them to stop or just sit there and let them die would you be able to let your best friend kill themselves.....i know if it was my friend i would drag them kicking and screaming into my house sit them down and ask them are you really willing to kill yourself......are you..........now i recommended yo do the same

[FabulousCutie01]

What exactly do the lyrics mean? I confuse myself when I try to figure it out, I know I'm totally stupid lol

[WebKinzRule24]

no your not its a hard song to understand

[HTMBombs]

i hate religion it is the opposite of what it says it is. but this is a good song. just thought i would thro that out there.

[9lk00583]

this song is so depressing with this video i mean its not that bad by itself but with this video it makes it so deppressing

[cybertrojan10]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[cybertrojan10]

cybertrojan10 y r u so rude

[CaitlinMarsVengeance]

dude stop being a troll...

[cybertrojan10]

notice that all the fray's videos of how 2 save a life is 4 minutes n 28 seconds long n god bless all the innocent souls

[Emmaa1997]

I love this song so much.

"Where did i go wrong? i lost a friend."

I lost my friend. They're still alive though, thank God, but I miss them so much.

I miss you E . W

[ExplainMe]

This video is the most incredible thing I've ever seen. It's so touching. The song is so unique, too, and really hits where it's supposed to. Carrying me through tough times. I miss you, Emma. <3

[PiRaTeKiNg3]

Im gonna dedicate this song to my friend DJ Maki, although we werent tight lineman take care of each other. Sorry I wasnt there man.

[micky88h]

no offence but i find it hard to believe people are stupid enough not to know wot this songs about... its clearly about the effect married couples arguing infront of the kids, upsets the kids.. makes thm cry.. keeps happening... they start blaming themselves... eventually suicide in extreme cases, pay attention to the video and the words folks :) chow net nerds !

[HoeDizzleFoShizzle]

no offense but please don't go around thinking you're superior because you know the meaning of a song, or at least think you do. Everybody interprets songs differently. The song is actually about when Isaac visited a camp for troubled teens, and one particular case a boy was suicidal and i think he was involved in drugs as well. It may have been due to his parents arguing infront of him, we do not know.

[micky88h]

aye ano wot ur sayin but if you pay attention to the video around 1 minute 5 it says clear as day dad and mom, both of the kids are cryin.. all the kinda rules throughout the video... 18 tell someone.. 22 cry... 23 accept.... seems like a guide to dealing with things, and drugs come after the arguments, its a last resort to keep ya mind off things... iv been there, thats why i can confidently say im sure its about the effect of arguments on children and wot not

[porno103]

they got some ugly characters

[letsallmove2canada]

wait whoa hold up its not about looks its about them. do u judge everyone by there looks now?

[thejes98]

sad but good song

[Fenix19949911]

I think.. it's about a girl trying to convince a boy of not killing himself... but at last she failed... and the boy's gone and she feels guilty for not changing the mind of the boy...

[cka041920]

Sam from one tree hill is in this video !!!! awesome =D love her

[sotonmanz2k8]

i swr 2 god i feel like my hearts gone cold my nan has jus died and i havnt even shed a tear yet and i cnt even find a song that will make mee cry even wen i think of her

[marinegurl1388]

Give it time. The grieving process is strange and different for everyone. Realizing someone you love is gone forever is hard to fully realize.

[calypsoluv132]

I love this song, but it makes me cry. We just lost our cat and I wish I knew how to save him. He was so dear to me. :'( RIP.

[0633767jerishowrulez]

any song that can make you cry is a good song. another words crappy songs usually fail to make people feel anything. this song can easily be touching 5/5.

[TheCouragousGirl]

Maybe cause i understand TRUE depression or im just in my mood but...ur comment is stupid!Seriously u talk about ur cat on a song about suicide?!?!I dont understand help me to help u!

[calypsoluv132]

At least I'm not talking about hamsters. (no offense to those people.) I'd had the cat since I was 7. And you think I'd just let go without any remorse?

[ailbheeeee]

when i litsen to this song..so many memories falsl, race past so that i dont understand.

[playa1467]

I'm gonna try to be a better person now. I havent been the best person in treating others. But this song makes me really sad. Sorry everyone I hurt... I'm gonna try to become a better personn.. Thank you the fray.

[bpitts15]

omg i luv this song so much

he's a BEAST at the piano : ) i wish i culd play like that

[xxBlackWiltedRosesxx]

you can if you practice. Learn on akeyboard if you dont have acess to a piano. If you really want to ;)

[lavaughnj90]

i lost a friend :.(

[xxBlackWiltedRosesxx]

*hug*

[elfking730]

(Hug)

[WebKinzRule24]

i drew a picture i got after being inspired by how it can relate to so many people.i love this song. its so insperational

[yennettene]

this sing is so meaning ful yet sad too. it make u wonder doesnt it. its also a very true song and has a message so if u no good if u dont listen to the song more

[elfking730]

The girl at 2:39 almost makes me wana cry :( Brilliant!

[Hammeroftheirish]

[peaceeandlooovee]

[99ULTIMATUM]

Sean and Daniel Forever!

[ShadowReaper207]

I think The Fray is Death Metal arnt they?

[veyronguy]

[herespecialnothing]

Don't Remove my comment.......

[cooleah9000]

ROFL seriously?

[flash1250]

[99ULTIMATUM]

The girl at 2:39 is so hot!!

[gimee50k]

HA HA HA! for a second i though you were serious

[0RIPVAN0]

haha i know that girl, she goes to my school

[BerMacVids]

lol r u kidding?

[micahshipp1]

This song is sad but awesome.

[someone570]

ROCKS

[RukiaHanazono]

I listened to this song in the groceries store before. and My grandma was there. She was TOTALLY unaware and she did'nt understand the song so she dose'nt care. BUT I feel like she's gonna die the next day.

[RukiaHanazono]

This is really sad...... but gives hope.

[ILOVEFRED3123]

Thsi song is so fuckn crazy man... once, i fuckn played it on the school intercome, holy fuck man! the hole fuckn place was fuckn going fuckn insance.... holy fuck, shoul have been there...

[thedingdongditch]

this song makes me cry b cuz of a boy i read about on the net that died

it makes me think of him

: (

[blood4glory1]

I think its a sad song with a good tune sorta makes me feel warm inside ya know?

[socalpunky]

This song makes me think of my first love and how awful our breakup was. 3 years later, I still think about him when I hear this

[99ULTIMATUM]

This song is really awesome!! I love it, great job!

[runescape2215]

them goose bums come up all around my body when i lesion to this song.

[unfinished8kt]

i can listen to this song in the car and just sing it but when u add this vid to it i just start crying so hard i can't even sing it. i don't know what it is about it. it's so intense

[bboyshufflerbrian]

to me it feels as if you did something wrong and accidentally that person wind up in th hospital(example) but did't evan know what you did and you could ,would and wanted to help this person .. but your to late and he/she and left this world ( this is just my way of discribing it)

[rawremokid666]

its about looseing someone u were close to.and keeping the feelings inside and not letting them out

[stonerdude4000]

dodgebullets is right try busting a nut or two xD

[foreverpalilives]

i luv this song!!!!!<3

[ussmall]

it's abot how some times people are hurt or killed and you could of done something to stop it, like a murder

[ITZjumpyFTW]

its about a breakup that leads to suicide

[AngelSiem]

i dont think this song is a breakup song. you can see it in several ways, i think. dont call people dumbasses if they just see the song different than you. "a life" doesnt have to mean a relationship, it can also just mean A LIFE.

i absolutely adore this song.

[Turk30029]

this is a breakup song NOT a suicide song dumb asses...LISTEN TO THE LYRICS....Its about how to people grew apart....THE LIFE he saying is their relationship stupid...Although the video maybe a suicide but not the song

[zlollylawz]

Why do people think this song is about someone commmenting suicide? Listen carefully to the lyrics people.

[af73r70ugh7]

I've been there dude. just keep going, and shrug it off. everyone is special in their own way. people who appreciate that talent, however are sometimes hard to find. just look at those closest to you, and be thankful. eheh, I didn't mean to preach, but I've been in that situation, and this helped me.

[cookroxi]

sometimes I think about suicide >.> when i'm hurt and nobody cares

[idodgebullets09]

try masturbation its a healthy substitute

[Angrypissedoffgamer]

my sis tried to commit suicide its good she didnt succeed

[af73r70ugh7]

that it is. Suicide is a terrible thing.

[Angrypissedoffgamer]

its a very terrible thing

[idodgebullets09]

you know what else is a terrible thing?.....AIDS

[idodgebullets09]

is she retarted? how hard is it to kill yourself. she probably just wanted attention

[ussmall1]

this is an awsome song to play on piano

[jellwest]

i love this song! and the fray is awesome!

[RuthieOfMaadi]

Love this song but I think ya got some of the lyrics wrong.

[sailormoon5070050]

Comment removed by Chuck Norris

[ihateman05]

when me and my friends fight this is the song i usually play

[ihateman05]

i love it

[cutesunnygirl]

This song is really good and the singer/band is the best fav it plus thx for the lyrics sub ya! :)

[valefor0001]

Best video of my life... Nothing can make me cry this hard from the land of fabrication...

[gaaralover9416]

i had a friend who tried to commit suicide. that friend is getting better but you never know how big suicide is until you witness it firsthand...

[101KendraA]

im sorry :( im glad theyre getting better

[browniegirl158]

R.I.P

My hamster whom I loved very much

[N3RD98]

My hamster died about, I don't know last year....but still I miss him

[browniegirl158]

Yeah. hurts huh?

[WebKinzRule24]

feel that way about my bird that died about 4 years ago after haveing him for a mounth

[theneonfix]

I would have like to have seen a more diverse group of people representing the people healing...everyone lol

but overall i think this is a fairly moving music video and amplifies the true meaning of the song

[Bboyjosue1]

please dont turn the comments on the video all gay

[ShadowUmbreon23]

3:49 shes hot

[Bboyjosue1]

hell yeah

[ShadowUmbreon23]

yes sir

[Bboyjosue1]

yeah its a good video . respect it. thank you

[soccerisawesome1]

awesome song!

[cosntancewitk]

ia tisa the real music video, or the one where tey're playin in a dark place and the show a couple ina a couch and the the girl in the middle of the wood? :S

i didnt really missed a fiend but the video made me cry anyway you think of the things you dtill can do just because you're alive

[itsmehellohi]

i like super sprinkled days

[rnagy09]

whats this to song about?

[JohnGutkind]

R.I.P Timbo. one of your favourite songs and if i could have been there at the hospital i would have been hollering at you to pull threw man. Ill meet you some day R.I.P Tim Aug. 18, 1992 - Forever buddy!!!!!

[abbygraceful]

the first time i watched this i couldnt watch it straight through. i had to stop like midway because i was so close to crying.

[andreaurino24]

sometimes i say : i hate my life .

but the life is a gift , once given , never again , is just now and the now.

[WebKinzRule24]

i needed that comment

[1Epilogue1]

Suicide is a weak way out. Why would you ever commit suicide. There is never enough reason to commite suicide ...

[ChurchisaCult]

Damn right, a strong person would brave the storm that is their life.

[BearBoi69]

Spoken by someone who has never cared for a person dying of ALS, or in the end-stages of Cancer.

Hope you never have to, but until you do, keep your glib fucking opinions to yourself. You speak them in a bubble of blissful ignorance, but they deeply cut those of us living in the real world.

Have a super sprinkle-filled day!

[1Epilogue1]

hahaha are you serious? how the fuck would you know where i've been trough

[BearBoi69]

Oh fucking p-l-e-a-s-e. Anybody who read your insensitive, glib, totalitarian statement knows its true.

Further proof? You're a 22 year old MMO addict. The hardest thing you've ever gone through is rapid weight gain, loss of friends, and shifting your sleep schedule to go on raids with your guildies.

Now go frag some n00b and let the grown-ups enjoy their quiet time.

Shoo.

[KaykaaS]

Oh jezus christ, get a life and get over it. If not, you can commit suicide yourself ! :D

I must say, you know quite some stuff about MMO's don't you? :)

Send me a card when your dead, greetings :D

[BearBoi69]

Wow. Way to confirm everything I just said.

And a good friend of mine went to rehab after being addicted to several. He lost his job, relationship and many friends. He still isn't quite over it. If you have an addictive personality the 'drug' can take any form of something that gives you pleasure, but the results are largely the same.

Tata.

[alfaqee18]

pleez, if u hav somthing mean to say keep it to ur self

[foolfool4]

It doesn't matter what you've been through or what anyone else has. People are suicidal when they can't handle it. If you rarely or never feel that way, you are one strong willed human being. Some of us aren't that tough so I would appreciate you not calling us weak because it doesn't help.

[101KendraA]

amen!!! lol

[Fenix19949911]

Shut up you idiot.. until you get in a situation like this.. you will undestand us...

[1Epilogue1]

Once again, you don't know shit about where i've been trough. People that commit suicide annoy me. Especially if it are healthy people with no medical issues.

[OMGITSBOBMARLEY]

No, we don't know what you've gone through, you say "People that commit suicide annoy me."

But not everyone can deal with depression or somethings like others, sometimes it gets so bad they think they have no other choice, yes they do have a choice, they are just so depressed they just don't know what to do.

[novus8]

This song makes me think about a old friend of mine.She hung herself in a hotel bathroom.I sure do miss her alot. She was so pretty and kind.She had a very hard life.

[imphlatround]

this vid makes me cry every time

i bet the ppl in the vid actually did lose sumwun

[Qrulo]

my novio siempre escuchaba esta cancion y no le hice caso. se suicido

es demaciado triste y dificil

cada que la escucho lloro

[xxLemoncelloLoverxx]

woah 1:10 creeper eyes

[TheRandomGirls]

oh god this song gives me goosebumps. Like always, amazing lyrics. They make you think.

[DrunkedJoselo]

i'm was feeling very bad when i listen to this song but now i solve the things that were making me feeling bad and now i understand the meaning of the song and i really like it more now feeling good, complete instead of feeling sorry or sad

[3r1c4h]

it kills me to hear this..

because i feel like its all my fault that two of my friends commited suicide.

if only i was there to felp them..

[janelletheasian]

omg goodness thats horrible :(

dont EVER blame yourself..

you never know what could have happened even if you tried.

things happen for a reason

<3 god bless them and you

[3r1c4h]

thank you for your kind words..

[PianoRox11]

words cant explain how this song makes me feel...

[cookiedawn23]

i cry everytime i hear this song.

[pimpinhector]

god i dont know why but i feel about the girl i love every single time i hear this song its as if every moment i dont spend with her drains out my life...which is not just feels like it

[iMySElfx0x]

I love this song, such a beautiful message. I'm so glad I'm going to become a child psychologist when I'm older =)

[SpikeHammer182]

Hey you know how there's those people in your life that you can't live with out. Like if they cry you cry with them, if they go down you go down, if they go you go. It's so hard to explain. But its the best feeling in the world to know you have someone by your side no matter what. I know this feeling with my girlfriend. She means the world to me. I cant live without her. I am so happy shes in my life now and forever. I love her so much : )

[iMySElfx0x]

Aww (: I wish you two the best

[SpikeHammer182]

Hey thank you so much you seem like a very cool person : )

[iMySElfx0x]

aww thanks, you too! hjahaa

[SpikeHammer182]

Haha thank you, because she means the world to me : )

[FreddiyMcmurffy]
