@FYI101217  it was? which episode?

[j1091L]

@theplasticstars the 1st episode when aria meets ezra

[noobyfatboy]

I love that The Fray's music isn't all about drugs and partying and whatnot, like all the other artists out there. Instead, the Fray's music is all about life, and the ups and downs of it. This is quality music.

[FYI101217]

This was in PLL<3

[alyssamaerose]

"I am rarely happy. I am often content, often joyful, but rarely happy" The wisest thing I've heard my friend say

[odi8010]

[love1234228]

Happy is a state of mind. And The Fray tells it like it is.

[k1ssM3g00Dnite21]

My 19 year old brother just broke up with his girlfriend of almost 6 years the other day, he's been crazy upset about everything. His one status on Facebook was "happiness was never mine to hold". If you understand what he means, please like this comment. Let him know that it is okay to be upset. He loved her so much and didn't want to ever lose her. Please.

[Albanezkaa]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21 :( it's not okay to be sad change it tell him!

[brasteljapan]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21 Don't be sad that it's over. Be happy that it ever happened <3

[kezxr]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21  YOUR A GOOD BROTHER things get better it time

[k1ssM3g00Dnite21]

@kezxr I'm a girl, but thank you. and yes, he is a great brother. <3

[kezxr]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21 sorry how is he doing???, I spilt with my ex in October 2011 things are ok but not brill but I keep smiling and getting on with life I hope he doesn't dwell on it coz it wont bring her back and if he has a chance to get back with her ask him one question if it didn't work the first time will it work the second time around??

1/2

[k1ssM3g00Dnite21]

@kezxr i'm glad you're doing okay! break-ups are probably one of the worst things in life, but you know what? Everyone has got to move on and let their last relationship help them have a better one. Nothing lasts forever, so live in the right now. (:

[kezxr]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21 I know you might think I'm being harsh but its worse getting your hopes to climb so high too fall so far down is crewel trust me I know love is a beautiful emotion but if you let it, it will leave a scar for all the wrong reasons try to remember the good times they had together and the rest put it down to experience and learn from mistakes made I hope this helps :)

[k1ssM3g00Dnite21]

@kezxr i totally understand what you're saying. thank you for caring though. it means a lot. check out my "thank you" video on my page :)

[studman981]

@k1ssM3g00Dnite21  i know u mean dude tell ur bro there r many other fish in the sea and he'll find one

[kiyla29]

The fray helped me go through allot of stuff in my life, things i couldn't got threw alone. I thank God i found them in time, i dont think i would have made it otherwise.

[drwestm83]

The lyrics to this song are genius. The Fray is definetely one of the best of the modern bands and the best to come along in awhile.

[PhaNetro]

I like how the Fray's song seem to all tie together. If you listen to all of their songs, there are at least one or two statements that make you remember one of their past songs :)

[yong4251]

I lost a friend who was a heroin (drug) addict. His favorite song was this very song called Happiness. He said 'Happiness...is something we constantly search for... and end up destroying ourselves.' I could not agree more with him but his physical body could not overcome the already 'natural' part of his life, injecting heroin. He passed away 2 weeks ago... and I think I am on the verge of emotional collapse... hearing this song once again but this time, alone.

[martinmj94]

@yong4251 Keep up your faith, smile when you can. You know that's what your friend would've wanted. And remember, you're never alone.

[CookieMonster9877]

@yong4251 it'll be okay after a while, two weeks is a really short amount of time. The pain won't go away but it'l be easier. Just keep going. I know. I'm sorry

[Parvidson1]

@yong4251 Hang in there buddy , time heals stay positive !

[TheKatyLady1]

hair penis hahahah

[bryangul0]

@TheKatyLady1 omg. That totally ruined the song for me, now I can't stop laughing LOL. I used to get so sad.

[Frikkindavid]

@TheKatyLady1 such a deep beautiful song, such an immature comment. </3

[TheKatyLady1]

@Frikkindavid hahhahaah i know sorry

[wuteverluv]

1:50 - 2:03 my favorite part! It has no words but the melody is soo beautiful! <3

[cagetheangel]

their is music is the kind of music that makes u feel...i kno that sounds cheezy but it`s fucking true! god they r amazin...isaac`s voice is like silk and honey

[tabbyque]

*Chills*

[xTearsfallingdown]

just.. wauw

[isabel4014]

Happiness almost destroyed me. I could never find it. Only once did I find it and hopefully I will find it again ,but for now happiness is my sorrow....

[ac12u6]

this is probably the most amazing song ever written

[dreamer013aL]

Happiness.. feels a lot like Sorrow..

[madixprincess]

"but you are gone, not for good, but for now. gone for now feels a lot like gone for good" </3

[jawcool23]

I know people have already given their perceptions of this song.. But I would like to try for myself if you can give me the time to try to..

This song talks of happiness, an emotion that fills voids in our lives and gives us hope for a tomorrow. If we can harness an emotion.. what does it make us? Inhuman entities that manipulate the emotions given to us. Happiness is unrestrained.. Let's learn a little bit from this song and know that we can feel joy yet feel a darkness at the same time. Yep

[Wadderz2238]

Beautiful music, but I wish he hadn't used the lyrics 'gone for now feels a lot like gone for good', there are so many different ways that he could have said that line and it's probably one of the most profound throughout the song.

[kurosaiki]

@Wadderz2238 u sure? i mean i can understand perfectly. when you go through pain and happiness isnt there. it feels as though it will never come back that you will just suffer everyday. but its only been gone for ahwile

[Onills]

It's a beautiful song ! I love the lines "Let it go, live your life and leave it

Then one day, wake up and she'll be home " because they're so true ! I think it really means that we don't have to find Happiness to live because at some point of our lives, we'll figure out that the true Happiness is the live itself...

But because of this world so fucked up, i've simply stopped to believe in it !

[lilhershey7]

it's so amazing dat alot of fans comments r lyk poetry

jux beautiful

[snofolie]

ugh everywhere has the lyrics to the first stanza wrong or misunderstood. They add little words like "or is it" to try to make it make more sense for them but that's not was he's saying! it's not questions.. he's comparing happiness to him to happiness to the girl he's singing to. By listening to it I'd guess it's

Happiness was just outside my window

I thought it crashed blowing 80-miles an hour

Happiness a little more like knocking

On your door, you just let it in

[ernmills]

beautiful

[MagicalZayz]

The last stanza just crowns it for me. Gorgeous song. Gorgeous lyrics. <3

[xXxSerahxXx]

angel..ur MY happiness

[AcousticFiftyfive]

2:07.... goosebumps

[123Kittykat1]

Great, now I'm crying. Thanks. ♥ Just beautiful. There is so much emotion and meAning into this, and other the fray songs. They're perfect.

[VroniLY]

I have never heard a song with such emotionally powerful lyrics in my life before. So true, and so beautiful. I´m totally speechless.

[screamingXskittles]

:'(

[AshleyPaige2015]

The Fray is so.... indescribable. There music speaks to yu. They are like nothin i have ever heard. Theyre lyrics are so POWERFUL!!!!!

[jungiblehearts]

So beautiful. :)

[BlitzMoonlight09]

@Alxzanderthegreat you're right, it's like night and day

the song for me tells about the search for happiness, how hard it is too find happiness, how, sometimes, the search for it can break you. But in the end it was all worth it.

[BlitzMoonlight09]

quite ironic for me, "happiness" is the title but has sadness in it....

[Alxzanderthegreat]

@BlitzMoonlight09 you cant really injoy happyness untill you have been through sadness :P simple.

[boomtaylor]

Who can't relate to how much happiness either isn't existent for them, doesn't stay like it's supposed to, and is a challenge when it really shouldn't be.

[MysteryGrrl12]

this song makes me cry sometimes,thats how much it means to me and that i love it

[veggiegirl959]

the lyrics are ..indescribable. the feeling i get listening to this song... no words either.

[Nochnoidozor18]

I´m love it.

[bribell45sings]

This is such an amazing song!!!!!! I luv it

[steffiliebtschoko]

The Fray ist eine der besten bands, vor allem weil die Texte Sinn ergeben :)

♥

[mexigirl013]

the fray has very well written songs, they are amazing!

[Harrypottergals123]

Happiness damn near destroys you

Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor

Just... beautiful. My life summed up in 2 sentences.

The Fray is indescribable. <3

[mizzerypink]

i cry to this song. It reminds me of my best friend thats been through so much.

[kinkichu]

This song speaks alot to me right now. :(

'But you are gone- not for good but for now

Gone for now feels a lot like gone for good'

[frank45soupdog]

"then one day...you'll wake up and she'll be home..." if only it were that simple :(

[MegaMusiclover44]

Probably my favorite song from The Fray

[greenhorns99]

love the fray, not real into this song, good tho. :-)

[beeroende]

Are the frays songs hard to play on guitar ? :D

[alanihawaii123]

Well, this one only has three chords but its the frequency of the chord changes and the picking and strum (I'm doing it the way he did it in a live version I found) pattern. Its a fun song to learn and the chord changes themselves are easy because they're all on the same three frets. If you want to learn it I have the tab.

[alanihawaii123]

This song, to me, is saying that happiness is an emotion that we just can't control. " Happiness, feels a lot like sorrow. Let it be, you can't make it come and go." and if you try to control it that you it won't be real. The line "Happines damn near destroys you. Breaks your faith to pieces on the floor." Is so powerful and says so much. I've never found a song that so perfectly describes what I am going through and touches my heart so deeply.

[HeartBeatOfYourLife]

I'm 100% with you:)

[BehindThisMusic]

I just have to say I agree with you... :)

[brasteljapan]

@BehindThisMusic Don't be sad that it's over. Be happy that it ever happened <3

[TimboLDS]

I really like this song.

[Unkown5221]

Love this song- Love the Fray :)

[h3llo2g00dbye]

the fray. :D

[matisonmonster]

they are so amazing.

[14219rose]

i love it!

[cutedanzr4]

great song to end the album :)

beautiful lyrics,breathtaking band....

now thats happiness right there

[torisse]

lol somebody had to ruin the moment haha!

[unionpie]

this was written for Issac's grandfather who got married at 80 to a woman he met at his retirement home. heartwarming :]

[just4loooks]

so i think i finally found out what this means...happiness is right there, but you don't go for it b/c the other person will be happy with out you, and you have to realize that. Happiness will dang near kill me before love finds me.

[cuchia01]

lol. clean version. yah, u got it thats exactly what i think. there lyrics are just so INCREDIBLE and symbolic.

[mkdancer1986]

i didn't know the fray swore...

[StephenChilvers]

where do there swear? :S

[mkdancer1986]

in the verse where he says happiness d**m near destroys you.... or maybe that is not considered swearing when used in that context... is it?

[StephenChilvers]

oh, well i didnt think damn was a swear word lol, i cant see how its offecive

[arsonistfire]

damm,really isn't offencive

especially since there are so

much worse words,and times change

i guess,lol.

[torisse]

i love the first time he sings "home". My goodness it's like a whole different song, yet the same...? Wow.

[Lizzie7123]

"there is no way to happiness, happiness is the way"

something lik that?

this song is amazing, :)

[alostros]

it is basicaly saying that you don't have to chase happiness...it'll come alone...

[danishkhan70]

i do not get this song at all lol

but its good...

[2whitechocolate]

haha well its basicaly saying

that happiness is great but your never be 100% complety happy

there is always something wrong

but dont let that keep you

from being happy =)

Great song!!

[wastedpatience]

also that you cant choose when or how to be happy, just that it comes naturally, you just have to let yourself feel it.

[Tare107]

and if you look for happiness you can't find it it kinda just happens.

love this song!!!!

[KolleenSarah16]

(L) i love this song
