From the sleepy sprawl of America's Mile-High City comes
The Fray, a Denver-based foursome whose melodic pop-rock
songs and soaring vocals resonate with sprawling tapestries
and tales of hopefulness and heartache.
Formed in 2002 by Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King
(guitar, vocals), The Fray earned a loyal grassroots
following through impressive area gigs and the support of
local radio which led a listen-driven campaign to get the
band a record contract. With strong word-of-mouth, the band
won "Best New Band" honors from Denver's Westword Magazine
and garnered substantial airplay on two of Denver's top
rock stations - the demo version of "Over My Head (Cable
Car)" became KTCL's top 30 most played song of 2004 in just
4 months. The band signed to Epic Records in 2004 and More...

------ About the song Vienna performed by The Fray
When i hear this song, i think of the holocaust. I am jewish, so i might be a little bias about it, but i really see it being interpreted like the holocaust. I think everyone brings a great point to this but here is my opinion:
"The day's last one way ticket train pulls in.
We smile for the casual closure capture."
- When victims were brought into the camps they were never to leave again (one way ticket)
- People inside camp capture them, knowing they will be killed, casually.
"There's really no way to reach me
Cause I'm already gone."
- No way to reach/ change their fate, because the way they were born has made them already in line to the Nazi s.
"Only So many words that we can say, spoken upon a long distance melody."
- They weren't free, and they were trapped that way.
"Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
This is the distance
And this is my game face"
- The Nazi Party in total was thinking the genocide was not a big deal, and would be forgiven to improve the world in 5 or 10, but it wasn't"
- "Victims thinking that the way they are shouldn't be feared, for they are normal and they wouldn't hurt anyone. They are just normal human beings, just like the nazis.
- Distance to gas chamber, realization that they couldn't do anything and that their fate was already decided.
- Putting on a game face in a way of hopelessness and acceptance.
"This is Vienna"
- Vienna is in Austria. 65,000 Austrian People were murdered in the Holocaust, and Austria's Government was Involved with the Holocaust.

As most people have written they heard the song and didn't realise the lyrics like I did. Until one day I was with some friends and I heard the song and listened to the lyrics, I broke down crying because it reminded me of when my friend tried to kill herself and I was the blame for it when actually I saved her, I just didn't save our friendshop. This song related so much to that time. I listened to it a week non-stop and somehow it helped me get the pain out. My friend is alive to this day but yesterday she went to try again, and I saved her again. I love this song, so much meaning to it. I hope my friend is okay though =(

------ About the song Never Say Never performed by The Fray
this reminds me sooo much of me and this boy. I met him through my friends and we fell for each other all in one night. then he dissapeared. He moved in with his dad, and i didnt see him for months. When he came back, i had moved on but he still had a thing for me. I fell for him again right before he dissapeared. He reappered in my life yesterday and my friend told me i need 2 let him go, hes not a part of our lives anymore. But when he got here, i had to leave in 5 minutes. A ran into his arms and started crying. I was just thinking how bad our timing was, and how i never wanted to let him go. Ever.

More about mental miles | Reviewer: April G
------ About the song Vienna performed by The Fray
I feel the song is more about a relationship that has grown emotionally distant than about real physical distance. For whatever it's worth, here's how I interpret it:
"The day's last one-way ticket train pulls in
We smile for the casual closure capturing
There goes the downpour
Here goes my fare thee well"
-There is already no passion left, just a casual good bye with smiles.
"There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone"
-He has already checked out of the relationship and mentally moved on. He has made up his mind and won't turn back
"Only so many words that we can say
Spoken upon long-distance melody
This is my hello
This is my goodness"
-There is nothing left to say about the relationship and everything said just increases their emotional distance from each other
"There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
'Cause I'm already gone
Maybe in five or ten yours and mine will meet again
Straighten this whole thing out
Maybe then honesty need not be feared as a friend or an enemy
This is the distance
And this is my game face"
-He is getting hopeful that maybe in 5 or 10 years they could start fresh as more mature people. Apparently honesty has been a problem in the relationship, maybe infidelity? He is ready for the distance and ready to move on-he puts on his "game face"
"There's really no way to reach me
There's really no way to reach me
Is there really no way to reach me
Am I already gone?"
-he is having that moment of panic and regret when a relationship ends that you have been invested in. He is thinking, is there REALLY not any way we could fix this and stay together? Should I give it one more try?
"So this is your maverick
This is Vienna"
-He is saying that he will be a maverick-the one who will make waves and leave rather than stay and be unhappy. I guess the relationship happened in Vienna-one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

What it means to me.. | Reviewer: Paula
------ About the song How To Save A Life performed by The Fray
To me when I hear this song it remminds of my son and his drug abuse and how it has come between us. I am brought to tears every single time I hear it. It reminds me of the talks that lasted into the night and how many times I've tried to help him and the lengths I've went to to help him or tell him the way he's going will eventually have severe consequinces. The saddest part in all this is, I was right. I always ask myself "where did I go wrong?" I love him just as much today as ever and he may be 20 now, but I will NEVER give up on him.

------ About the song Vienna performed by The Fray
This song can be about a long distance relationship, but it can also be viewed to be about two ppl who are not in the same place in their lives or the relationship. their together in terms of mileage but mentally they are both very far apart. Things aren't working and it's time that he/or she moves on.

------ About the song Never Say Never performed by The Fray
wow, this song reminds me of a friend. shes my bestfriend in high school, shes the only one i trusted and she trusted me back. in senior year i was really busy preparing for my national exam and slowly we just drift apart, easy to say that maybe if i realize sooner that just to hold one smile will keep her less apart, i'd do it. too bad now i moved to the US and that was it really. she wasnt even there the day i board the plane. i miss her though. one day i get back home and if we pass each other on the street i wish she would still say hi to me. hard to believe that the lack of simplest things could do such difference.
A beautifully written and composed track. It's emotional because it can be interpreted several ways.
I know someone who is a victim of abuse, and they contemplate suicide, I can't help them as much i want to because as a victim, he has an inferiority complex and doesn't think he deserves it.
I'm afraid that he will become so depressed and lose all of his self esteem that he will turn to suicide. i want to save his life,i want to prevent it, i try my hardest everyday, i just don't know what else to suggest or do.
this song is my song. his song. our song.

------ About the song Vienna performed by The Fray
Ok, first of all, I'd like to say to Jeff that, even though he makes a valid point, Vienna is not in Switzerland. In fact, is the capital of Austria. Now, on the other hand, I pretty much agree with everybody that this is about a long distance relationship.

------ About the song Say When performed by The Fray
BUT. Actually I think it's 'two ghosts in one mirror, no nearer' like it says. If you check the lyrics in the album that's what it says. I don't think 'grosts' is a word either.
Anyway, The Fray can't go wrong with me, I love them.
