Together by The Fray

I decided to play The Fray's Together EP and listened to the first track. Fortunately I discovered my love for this song. I like how the bass is played, with it's rests and short attacks. I'm not sure if that's a guitar that plays in the intro, but the this features some neat guitar playing as well. I also like how he sings the 2nd "We go together", which I've italicized in the lyrics below.


As the spring in its bloom
The summer stars and the moon
Come and dance with me my love
And we will be...

One, we go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you.

As the leaves and the trees
The oceans celebrate you and me
We will live to see many days
And we will dream, we'll dream.

We go together,
I promise forever,
Everyday together,
I live with you. We go together,
I promise forever,
everyday together,
I live with you.

Over My Head (Cable Car) by The Fray

I first heard this song as part of the soundtrack to the movie Stealth, which I bought thanks in part to Incubus. This was one of the songs i liked from that album, enough for me to buy Fray's How to Save a Life. I am honestly endeared by the lyrics at first, but while having another listen to it earlier on a bus from Makati, I rediscovered it as having this insurmountable feel and energy.



I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
