  • I'm crying, I can relate to this song very much

  • My little neice, her father is in jail, he was in the military but watching all his friends die, drove him off the edge, so he did somthing and got put in jail, she 7 now, but he wont get out intill she's all grown in her 20's... She drives to texas every month to vist him, with her mom. She's in ohio, and drvie 20 hours a month just to see him, and try to push him to go on, but all he wants to do is rot in his cell. O.o so sad...

  • dislike bar is like a ninja is there but no one see it

  • this song made me cry.. im an only child and my dad wanted a son. he never really looks me in the eye. :( i love my daddy and i just hope someday he learns to love me the same way he would a son. i just want him to aknowledge me! or atleaste hug me once. then i would be happy. i just want a daddy

  • @zeldaluver11568 I say don't put up with that... I know you love him but if he cant even look at you then hes not worth it. Im an only child 16 and on my own... Never really knew my dad... Last thing I remember is him walking out of our one bedroom apartment he looked at me and just turned away...

  • This song really speaks volumes to me.

    I've never got on with my Dad and when i was a teenager we were forever rowing with one another. It was when he turned around and shouted at me that he'd rather have had a son than a daughter, that i realised just how much my father had become a stranger to me.

    The worst thing is that i still love him and i hate it. I hate how he can still hurt me so much and i pray that someday i will have the strength to walk away.

  • @littlebluebox1 Your father just needs to realize how special you are :)..he loves you ^^ I knowwwww

  • only 3 dislikes and 558 likes yayayayay :D

  • cant wait for scars and storys!!!

  • @OddGodHMK Not really. You find out at the very beginning that her dad has been dead since she was 11, and that she provides for her family. I wouldn't call Katniss's background information that you learn in the very first chapter a spoiler.

  • Nobody understands how much the fray has gotten me through. Thank you, Isaac Slade . <3

  • my favorite song

  • I really hope one of The Fray's song are featured in the Hunger Games ^.^

  • @aquaUser123 that would be great!

  • Another Comment To Update My Twitter lol.

  • I always, for some reason, think of The Hunger Games when I listen to this. Katniss's dad, and how he died in the mine explosion, putting everything on Katniss's shoulders. Of course, you'd have to have read The Hunger Games to have an idea of what I'm talking about.

  • @krm3396 Spoiler alert.

  • @krm3396 It's funny, I saw your comment and then the ad for the Hunger Games movie played... XD

  • You know a song is powerful when you feel the emotions and depth although you can't personally relate to this situation. The Fray is a wonderful band.

  • for who did they write this?

  • @KitchenKiller95 If I remember correctly it was wrote about the singers (Isaacs) Mother and her relationship/situation with her father (so, his grandad). But it's open enough so anyone can relate to it, since there's a lot of shitey fathers out there. (:

  • I cry when I listen to this

    It means so much to me because it really relates to my father and how he wanted a son, never a daughter and how he never truly loved my mother

    But this song is helping me get the courage to forgive

    Thank you Isaac

  • Like if you're listening to this in 2011 :)

  • this song is about isaacs mom because her father that past away never realy loved her because he wanted a son :(

  • Music like The Fray is hard to find now. The Fray <3

  • hes just so good with the piano....

  • :( oucccchhhh!!!

  • i think i'm falling in love with this band.

  • @sunnyskiesabove I just re-fell in love with them last night last and with music because of them -m- <3

  • i think i just found my favourite band ever. I like ALL songs of them.

  • Do people press the dislike button by accident or something? How can you "dislike" such a good song

  • I can't feel more at home with some of this crowd, You all love the same artists that I do, Rise Against, Breaking Benjamins, The Fray, 3 Days Grace... :D

  • omg i almost cried

    <3 the fray

  • THE FRAY FOREVER!  =D =D =D

  • "Left my father's mother without so much as a kiss." Can def relate.

  • Am i the only guy who loves this song? Or is it wrong for a guy to love something?

  • This song always makes me cry, brings back so many memories of my mom.

  • :( I cried! It's so sad!

  • i like it

    nice:)

  • @goatface97 People say that all of your breathes come in pairs, except for two that are single. Your first breath when you're born, and your last dying breath.

  • i always thought that lyrics didn't mean anything to me, but just the song itself. this made me realise that the lyrics do matter. just amazing.

  • the fray isnt some wanna be pop star or rapper who sings about money or relationships but they sing about emotionally deep and meaningful songs

  • This song makes me so happy inside.

  • i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooove it , i listen ti this song every day over & over agaian , it's amazing , perfect

  • he wrote this song to his mom

  • isaac's grandfather left his grandmother because they had a girl not a boy, isaac's mother

  • 2:13 "breathing comes in pairs, except for twice, one begins and one's goodbye." can someone tell me what it means

  • @goatface97 When you breathe, it is always followed by another breath; like inhale or exhale. Except for your first breath when you're born or your very last breath when you die.

  • beautiful voice!

  • "breathing comes in pairs except for twice. One begins and one's goodbye"

    Breathtaking and so true <3

  • this relates to me so much

  • <33333333333333333333333333333­333333333333333

  • i love it how those kind of songs have a meaning. not about sex or girls

  • @SportzFan544 Like most Pop songs?

  • @05294455 kinda...but i dont hate pop songs , i just think its cool when there's other things they talk about

  • @SportzFan544 Whats wrong with sex and girls?

  • @davidsluder123 They're massively overrated in music

  • @mrshredstarZ i know that but whats wrong with them outside of music?

  • @davidsluder123 Nothing ;D But for me, music is pure

  • This song makes me cry all the time because it's so so similar to my mother and her father.....and sorry for sharing my unimportant life story lol

  • beautiful

  • I swear, this song gets me everytime.

  • I'm slow, can somebody please analyze this song and tell me the meaning? :D thx

  • @JayIsGlaze cawl me!

  • @kozmikdust lol what ?

  • This song never meant much to me personally.. but now I know the truth about my Dad, it really gets to me.. :(

  • @xGot2PullThroughx I'm sorry to hear that

  • this song started playing on my playlist as i finished the second book of Flowers in the Attic... I don't know how it connected, but it did, and it all made me cry.

  • @NorthShoreAllDayLong Ummm so black and ugly people can't relate to this song? that makes a shitload of sense....sarcasm

  • the Fray is pwnage

  • goosebumps. love all the fray's songs <3 <3 <3 <3

  • This song reminds me of my ex. We were having a baby and he wanted a son but unfortunately i'm having a girl. I know he didnt want to hurt her or me but he did I'm sorry I'm not having a boy Nick

  • @nickjsohbaby plz dnnt be srry im an 11 year old girl and my dad wanted me to be a boy and now treats me like shit but my mom loves me. you have to love her. Unfortunatley HE doesnt know what a gift she will be.

  • @EatLoveBeAwesome Aw I'm sorry your too good to be his daughter :). I love her so much but I just wish her dad was around. :(I'm young

  • @nickjsohbaby He desnt need to be around. You need a man to be around her. My mom was 17 when she had me and actually i made a mistake when i put im 11, lol im 12:) Im so glad u love her!

  • "Breathing comes in pairs, except for twice. one begins and ones goodbye" I think this is referring to when we breathe, another breath follows it. "Except for twice" when your life begins is only one breathe. because its the first ever. when it ends another breathe doesnt follow it. because you have died so its not in pairs. Confusing i kno. but thats how i see it

  • this song explains my relationship with my father so well. there were so many things he needed to say to me but couldn't. he died when i was 16 and i can't help but wonder if things could have been different if he had lived. if we could have worked things out.

  • The Fray,Breaking Benjamin and Three Days grace does an excellent job of making great songs that just relate to u unlike some other mainstream artists

  • @kohonasredfox And so does system of a down (not all of their songs, but all of serj tankian's song have a very powerful meaning)

  • @kohonasredfox let's not forget rise against <3

  • @kohonasredfox so true. TDG has some of my favourite songs that hit home pretty hard to me

  • @kohonasredfox the script also

  • @kohonasredfox finally someone said it, thanks man :)

  • fray best band ever love them!!!!

  • The fray have yet to disappoint.

  • my dad had three daughters me being on of them, and the only thing he really wanted was a son and he really made that one clear, and i will spend my life finding another name to take.

  • this is depressing song

  • Comment removed

  • this song is sooo sad but really gud & also so many people can realate to this song . . 

  • i'm waiting to find that guy who will love me, because all my father gave me was hate, he only put up with me because my mom said so. i wish, want someone who'll hug me with love.

  • @tollyomg Well I Hope Your Life Gets Better.

  • @bmxfanatic99 Thanks:)

  • @tollyomg how sad I wish the best for you in finding that. my life was the same as a child and I found my prince charming

  • @camarocasanova :P why can't fathers/mothers just love us? How long did it take to find your prince?

  • @tollyomg

    There is some one for everyone :) you just have to wait and i hope you will find him :D

  • One of my friends father died two says again and this song inspires me.

  • I dealt pretty well by myself. My mother just makes things hard for me. Maybe because I look just like the female version of my father.

  • Comment removed

  • this song has a different meaning to me, simmilar, but different. my dad had to leave me when i was 4 becuz he was an acholic and had to go to rehab. but even after he got out, i barley got to see him. then he died when i was 10 of a broken heart. or atleast thats what i choose to believe. i dont care if they call it a heart attack, his heart just couldnt take the saddness anymore. and i think that i constantly look for the perfect guy cause i want the father figure. the thing my dad never was.

  • @loveana4ev That's Really Sad D: I'm Sorry ):

  • ._.

  • @Invincibles34 Ehh, Thats completely true, it's fine I'm kinda use to my dad and everything by now.

  • Wow, I have to say this song fits me well, I'm not going to go off on this long story about my father and me because it seems to bring me to tears that He didn't give a damn but this song honestly fits..

  • love this song <3

  • @Sugoiish deep, nigga!

  • i like how all of there songs tell a story like in ''over my head'' it is about him being obbcessed with a girl and in ''she is'' it is about him thinking of all the things this one girl is..... the stories are so touching and insperational and i bet a lot of people cry when they hear the frays songs because they can relate to things normal people have to go through and he wanted to connect with his fans and tell how they feel........♥♥Love The Fray♥♥ They are the best band ever!!

  • this song made me cryy.. i can deffinatly relate to this.. damn song. haha

  • makes me want to cry me and my dad use to get along but now we dont even talk he saw i was growing up and it makes me want to cry cuz i dont have a father daughter realtionship with him now i have 2 baby brothers and he hugs them like he use to hug me and he plays jokes on them and they laugh i just miss how my father use to treat me :(

  • @emochick7856  tell him! :'(

  • @haddy004 i cant cuz then it i think that hes gonna think im weak or soft..... its stupid right

  • When I hear this song...I don't know...It's like...When someone feels bad for another...Someone in this song left someone...It's not saying it in a bad way, and not an understanding way...More like in a, should've done.

  • è veramente bella w i the fray!!it's very beatiful i love the fray!!!

  • I find this song, or let's say I find very many songs by The Fray howl just to beautiful! I was so happy to hear "You found me", "Never Say Never" and all the other songs. The Fray is just great! They are the best! :)

  • such a good song, why its about henry VIII tho is a mystery to me

  • D'aw this song fits me. ): I have never known my dad, he didn't want anyhting to do with me. He left my mom while she was pregnant for me and then he saw me for a summer when I was in 3rd grade and then never tried to contact me again. But that's okay :) i've got my mom.<3

  • so true. my dad texted my mom and said "you dont have to call. just tell steph that shes with you full time" and now im dadless, and i rely on my mom.

  • Oooh, I like what you did with the lyrics.

    lol, great song. And very relatable to me as well.

  • I love this song great job on the lyrics. And to thoughs who still have there Father don't take him for granted, you never know when he'll leave you whether by death or by car.

  • this song is so sad

    but i love it

  • This song is so beautiful...but it makes me cry because my father wants to get a separation with my mother...just because...i don't even no...he is a soldier..always away...and when it turned to be good, he destroied it...i feel horrible...

  • im sorry

  • thanks...you know...people are strange...once they are quareeling about nothing and then...everything is normal. I don't understand. now they are again together laughing, talking and so...my dad's attitude changed a little bit as he feels guilty...anyway, thx:)

  • this songs must means alot for people who lost their father.. my condolence for yall..

    fortunally for me,my father is alive and very healthy. i love him so much,he is the person i love best in my life,i hope he dies after me,like 100 years from now haha, i seriously just couldnt live without him and my mother.I like my sister too of course,but my parents means more than my life to me.

    hahaa im talking about my life to randoms.. anyway peace out..

  • wow...my father died when I was just 5...this song means so much..

  • @xxvampyrequenxx

    Im sorry :(

  • this song spaks to me because when i was three my father left me on my grandma's carport and never looked back or said goodbye

  • Comment removed

  • Ohmygosh...i can just tell this song will make me cry every time i listen to it.. My father left b4 i was born :)...I will never know why he left but this song sortof explains it.

    Thnx for postinq this song up ♥ I love it

  • this song contains sucha a powerful story. and just to say to most parents gender isn't important but sometimes a man wants someone to carry his family name. that's not what this song is about but someone asked that so i hoped i helped. again powerful, realistic, and sad story

  • why does this song have anything to do with death? Sorry I just don't understand why people are commenting with that

  • Im commented on this song so much but i love it. It was enough when my grandpa died, and my grandma called and said aid she got a new house. she sounded so much better. its been almost a year since then. i feel better too. death is such a weird thing, and it brings so muhc sorrow.

  • Omg i Luve luve luve! This song!!! Powerful!

  • I think the breathing in pairs is like the first breath when you're born, and the last breath when you die.

    But that's just me.

  • Im trying not to cry because my sister has friends over...But i miss my grandpa.... Before he died, when he was healthy, he told me dont cry because we were leaving. Then he said "You`ll see me again" and i never did.... I hate the word cancer. I hate smoking. He died last year on Christmas Eve... This one i will never be the same.... :'(

  • Comment removed

  • I can relate. My nana, she died last year on the 14th. It made christmas so hard, i cant even imagine it happening christmas eve. She had a heart attack, and they said shed get better so i went out with friends insted of taking to her on the phone. She dident make it through the night, it was so hard

  • Condolence with you my brother,

  • 1 of the best songs eva

  • Wow i love it i love it i love it i love it I LOVE IT ! :) <3 x

  • i cried when i first listened 2 this

  • my god, I'm shaking...

  • i dont get it..wat is this song about???

  • its about isaacs granddad leaving his mam when she was a few years old, and he didnt think it was fair on his mam...by the lyrics id also say that his grandad wanted a son and wasnt happy when isaacs mam was born, hope that explains it :) love this song x

  • @DonomanOx are you irish?

  • @Levenet1996 i am indeed...why haha

  • @DonomanOx you said mam :)

    i used to live there ;)

  • @DonomanOx i thought it was about the father dying.

  • @DonomanOx oh how did u know? thanks from the bottom of my heart!!^^

  • @Queenietcm listen to the lyrics

  • @Queenietcm he explained it in an interview i was watching ages ago haha..no problem :)

  • This reminds me of my father... Now that i listen to this song. I think all he ever wanted was a son. He watched me grow up for 3 yrs. Got my mother pregnant once more. Another girl it was. When he found out. He left. Today my father has a 4yr old girl and a 2 yr old boy i think. He got his wish. While i sit back and suffer. I guess im happy that hes happy. I just wish he coulda been there for me. The worst part is. is that i remember him leaving that day. I ♥ the fray

  • Sorry about that, love.. Very sad.

  • im sorry....

  • Aww.... sorry about that.... sad

  • Comment removed

  • well, it's so sad. i always thought father's desire to have a son belongs to eastern countries.

    how could your kid's gender be important??

  • My favourite from the last album :) so amazing.

  • beautiful song, brilliantly sung, brings tears to this grandfather's eyes.

  • My Personal fav from latest album

  • I heard this was written by Isaac about the death of his grandfather. Whatever its intended to be about its beautiful :)

  • I love this song! I was slightly disappointed when they didn't play in at their concert in Mountain View, CA at the Shoreline Amphitheater. Other than that it was an amazing concert.

  • they're best song prob
