The Fray - You found me

"The Fray" fue una de las primeras bandas en prestar (legalidades al márgen...) una de sus canciones para el blog, siendo en su momento "How to save a life" la elegida, tema con el que eventualmente dieron la vuelta por todas las radios del mundo. Así que voy a pecar de falto de originalidad al elegir su nuevo corte para esta entrada. El mismo se encuentra en su reciente disco que está titulado del mismo modo que la banda, recurso normal para un primer disco, no tanto así para el "sophomore" como dirían en el país del norte.
"You found me" es un tema que repite la receta del disco debut de la banda, rock alternativo con el piano de Isaac Slade yendo bien al frente y con una clara influencia de bandas como Coldplay, y en la misma sendas que otras como OneRepublic. El disco también incluye otras perlas como "Never say never", que probablemente ya serán motivo de otro post en el futuro.
Se que no estoy descubriendo a ningún artista con esta entrada, pero permitanme esa libertad por haberlos puesto hace casi 2 años cuando no los escuchaba prácticamente nadie. Por último una novedad; recibí la sugerencia de alguien diciendome que debería dejar links para bajar los discos... así que empezaré a hacerlo (si alguien está interesado en alguno de los anteriores aviseme)

The Fray - The Fray (2009)




The Fray - You found me

I found God
On the corner of First and Amistad
Where the west
Was all but won
All alone
Smoking his last cigarette
I said, “Where you been?”
He said, “Ask anything.”
Where were you
When everything was falling apart?
All my days
Were spent by the telephone
That never rang
And all I needed was a call
It never came
To the corner of First and Amistad

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

In the end
Everyone ends up alone
Losing her
The only one who’s ever known
Who I am
Who I’m not, and who I want to be
No way to know
How long she will be next to me

Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me

Early morning
The city breaks
I’ve been calling
For years and years and years and years
And you never left me no messages
You never sent me no letters
You got some kind of nerve
Taking all I want

Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Where were you, where were you?
Lost and insecure
You found me, you found me
Lying on the floor
Surrounded, surrounded
Why’d you have to wait?
Where were you, where were you?
Just a little late
You found me, You found me
Why’d you have to wait
To find me, to find me?

The Fray - How to save a life

The Fray es una banda que representa claramente lo que ahora se conoce como, "piano rock" música girando alrededor de los teclados en vez de las guitarras. La banda es de Denver, Colorado y se forma en el año 2002; siempre se los compara con Coldplay; pero ellos mismos se declaran más cerca de U2, Better than Ezra y Counting Crows.

The Fray alcanzo la masividad sin ningún lugar a dudas con su último disco "How to save a life", y para ser más específico con el single homónimo, durante el año 2006. La canción cuenta una experiencia personal de la voz lider y tecladista de la banda; Isaac Slade cuando trabajó en una especie de centro de rehabilitación para adictos al crack; y su relación con un adolescente al que no pudo salvar de su adicción.
La canción fue muy bien recibida en todo el mundo, alcanzando el Nº1 en varios países, el número 3 en Estados Unidos, el 4 en Inglaterra y también le fue muy bien en territorio español pero por alguna razón la canción no cruzó a este lado del Atlántico.

How to save a life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
