This blog is entirely dedicated to the pop rock/piano rock/alternative rock band from Denver, CO, The Fray. I post here songs' meanings, interviews, interesting facts, news & more!
Hello guys! How are you all doing? Since it’s been
almost a month since Helios tour finished, I decided that it might be cool to
post some pictures from the tour! Did any of you come to the Helios tour? If
so, how was it? Also, if you want me to post pictures from the Helios tour that
you took, you can send me them to my twitter account and I’ll post them! (@bandskeepalive)
Hey there! Today, I’ve decided to talk about the song “Syndicate”.
Since I don’t know what inspired The Fray to write the song, I’ll talk about
what’s its meaning to me.
I think the song is about how hard life can be, about
how you don’t really know who you are, “what you’re made of”, until you see the
darkest side of life. But, the song gives a clear hope message. “Don’t forget,
we haven’t lost it all yet”, I think we all should remember that when we’re
feeling down. Sometimes it feels like we’ve lost everything, but that’s not
true, you still have many reasons to keep going.
So this is what I think of the song. I usually listen
to it when I’m feeling down, it always helps :) You can listen to the song
below and let me know in the comments what you think!
Hello guys! So, Joe King and Candice Accola have
already got married! Isn’t that amazing? Joe King, in case you don’t know, is
The Fray’s guitarist and back up vocalist; and Candice Accola is an actress who
acts in the Vampire Diaries. The couple has post on instagram pictures and also
a video. I’m posting below a picture of the wedding and a link for the video,
which is so beautiful:
Hey there! How are you all doing? It’s been a long
while since I last post a story behind a Fray song, and today I decided to do
another one again!
Actually, this song I’m going to talk about is a
really known one by people, from their first album: “Look After You”.
The song was written by Isaac Slade and Joe King, and
it’s from their album How to Save a Life, from 2005. Isaac Slade says he wrote
it to who was his girlfriend in that time, Anna, who later became his wife. Slade
also added that he was with his band recording the album, and she was in
Australia, and she sent him a video tape with her and some friends saying Merry
Christmas. The friends were saying “we’ll look after her for you”, and Isaac
said it moved him. That’s what he said in an interview talking about the song. Below
I’m posting the interview and a piano version of it:
