Fray Daddies

Hi guys! 

Today, I was going across The Fray pictures in my computer, and I thought that it would be a cool idea to post some, but not any! Since all of The Fray members are daddies, I'm going to post pictures of them with their kids :) Aren't they cute?

The Fray's tour is over :(

Hello there everyone!

The Fray's summer tour has already came to an end. After an amazing tour over the United States, they're back home and I'm going to post some photos from the tour for you!

By the way, if you've had the chance of going, you can share your photos, experiences or anything like that. I'm sure that a fray concert can't be anything but awesome - and if you share your experience with me I can post it here or whatever you want!

Fair Fight

Hello there!

Today, I'm here to share and talk to you about The Fray's documentary - Fair Fight. It's a documentary off the making of their second album "The Fray". An emotional and funny documentary that leads us into how it was to record and make the album - the writing and recording process. 

It's an amazing way to get to know the band a bit better and enjoy watching a documentary of theirs.

10,000 Reads!

Hello there!

Today this blog has reached 10,000 reads, and, for that reason I wanted to thank you guys for that. Because, honestly, checking out my blogs today and seeing that this one had reached 10K reads just made my day. And there’s no doubt that it’s because of you, those ones who read this blog, whether it’s since 2013 when I created it or who have just discovered it.

I know it might seem like it’s no big deal, but for me it is. So thank you so much for that.

To commemorate that I’m going to talk a bit about me and The Fray. Since I’ve been posting for almost two years now I’m not sure if I’ve talked about this, so, if I have, let me know.

I’m going to talk about how I discovered The Fray and how I got “obsessed” (as people say) or just how I became a fan of this awesome band.

I remember listening to their song “How to Save a Life” for years in the radio or in one recompilation CD my mom had on her car, but without knowing the band or the name of the song. It was the typical song you like but never try to search it or something.

I got more interested into the song after listening to it on my favorite TV show (Grey’s Anatomy), and I started paying attention to the song. I started to understand its meaning (English isn’t my mother language), and got into the song more and more. After that I finally searched the song on the internet (I didn’t know the title so I just searched it as I could).

The more I listened to the song the more I related to it and loved it. I searched for more songs by that band until my phone was full of their music. Every single one of their songs were perfect for some moments, they expressed what I couldn’t and it felt like they knew me. It was like feeling that someone understood me without having to share my feelings – it was more than amazing.

My love for them became bigger and bigger, I watched hundreds of interviews, read lots of them as well, trying to find out everything I could about them. And, since I had seen that there weren’t much pages or blogs about them, I decided to create one about them to share with the world everything I knew about them.

Thanks to them I didn’t only find a place where I felt safe and felt understood, but also I got into good and meaningful music. I started getting into more bands which, like them, really sang about something worth singing. And also they’ve taught more than I can even say. I’m not sure what would have been everything like for me, but I do know that I wouldn’t be the same person – in a good sense.

I wish I could thank them one day for everything they’ve done for me.

How did you get to know The Fray?

Also below I'm posting a photo of my fray CDs! Which ones do you have? ;)

Some fray pictures!

Hi frayers!

I’d love to share news about The Fray with you today, but I can’t since there aren’t any news, which is more than a shame! Nevertheless, if I’m writing this post it’s because I’m sharing anything about them with you, and this time I’m sharing some photos that the guys have been posting the last days on their social networks!

Some of them are pretty rad ;)

Also I'd like to take advantage of this post to mention that this blog has almost reached 10K reads, which is more than amazing! And it's because of any of you who read this blog, whether you've read it once or you read it evenly. I couldn't be more thankful for that than I already am. Thank you! 

"I miss the old fray"

Hello there everyone!

First of all, I want to apologize to anyone who follows this blog, because the last few months, I haven’t been posting here very frequently. Exams, and other projects I’ve had myself had got me a little away from this blog, which is definitely a shame.

Secondly, today I was thinking of a topic which would be good of discussion, and as well writing on here.

“I miss the old The Fray”

Who hasn’t said that? Who hasn’t thought that? I have thought that, I admit it. And a lot of fans more have. But, I’ve been thinking of that recently and this is what I come with:

I’m an artist. I’m not an artist as The Fray’s members are – I’m a writer. Okay, I’m not famous or anything, but I make (or try to make) art the way I can, so I think I kinda have a voice here. When I’m feeling down, what I write isn’t happy or positive at all. However, when I’m feeling good, I write positive and happy stories.

What do I want to say with this?

I think it’s pretty clear that when The Fray wrote albums like How to Save a Life and The Fray, they (or people around them) were going through tough times, for whatever reasons. Since The Fray has always been a band which expressed their own feelings through their songs, it’s clear that now – that they have more positive music and more happy vibes – they’re going through a good time in their lives. And I’m more than thankful for that. Because, this band, which has comforted us when we were feeling down with their music, deserves it!

You know what? It’s amazing, after all, that they experience with new kinds of songs and music. We all have ups and downs, and, if we have songs from The Fray not only for when we’re feeling down, but also for when we’re feeling good, that’s even better, isn’t it?

That’s what I think. They’ll always be a couple of kids who were up to no good ;)

What do you guys think? 

My Interpretation Of Fall Away

Hello guys! I’d like to share with you news about The Fray, but this month there haven’t been any news to share. However, I’m feeling kind of melancholic today, and I decided to listen to some of The Fray’s old stuff, and I was just listening to “Fall Away” and felt like writing about it here.

The Fray hasn’t talked about its meaning in any interview, so all I can do is share with you my interpretation and thoughts of the song, much like what it means to me.

The song is about your past following you, even when you try hard to run away from it, and I believe that somehow every person out there can relate to that, some people more than others. I personally strongly relate to that, because I always end up letting my past follow me no matter how hard I try, and for that reason the song speaks to me in very personal levels.

Do you relate to it? Let me know below in the comments what it means to you! Below you can listen to the song:
