Top 10 "The Fray" Songs

For those of you that know me well, you'll know that The Fray is my all time favorite band. I finally got to see them live when I was 19 (and touch the lead singer *fangirling*) and it was the best night of my life. While I think all of their songs are fantastic, here's the top 10.

10. I Can Barely Say- "Scars and Stories"

This is such beautiful song. It tells the story of how a man fighting for his love has said everything he can say and he chose to leave, but he wants to return and fight for her. I think the piano and the beautiful vocals just really showcase how touching the song is.

9. Our Last Days- "Helios"

This is yet another great song about love. This song talks about how the love of two people will last until their last days on Earth. It's such an upbeat, great song.

8. Love Don't Die- "Helios"

This is such a fun, upbeat song. The music video is just as fun. This song is about how even after your loved one passes on, love never dies. The music video features Candace Accola King, who is married to the lead guitarist and assistant vocalist Joe King, and has been featured on her show The Vampire Diaries, as well as several of their other songs.

7. Heaven Forbid- "How to Save a Life"

This is such great, simple song. It talks about how even if you end up alone in life, everything will be okay.

6. Be Still- "Scars and Stories"

This is arguably one of their most beautiful, simple songs on record. It features just the lead singer Isaac Slade and a piano. Originally written as a lullaby for his brother, this song has also be interpreted as God talking to the listener, as well as relating to a very popular Psalm. It's beautiful, simple, and wonderful.

5. Over My Head (Cable Car)- "How to Save a Life"

Such a great, popular song from their debut album. Originally about Isaac's brother Caleb and how they didn't speak for some time, it talks about how life is easily very overwhelming and things can get "over your head".

4. Look After You- "How to Save a Life"

I love this song so much. It is such a great love song about how no matter what, the singer will always look after the person he loves.

3. You Found Me- "The Fray"

This song is so great. It also has been interpreted as the singer talking to God, since the opening line says "I found God on the corner of First and Lonestar." It talks about how even when he was lost and insecure, God found him.

2. Never Say Never- "The Fray"

This is my all time favorite song by The Fray. I didn't put it as number one, however, for one reason- it's not nearly as meaningful as "How to Save a Life". I still think it's a fantastic song. It talks about how a couple who fall in and out of love need to fight to stay together because he doesn't want to let her go. It's been featured on shows such as The Vampire Diaries and One Tree Hill and is even featured in the film and on the soundtrack for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

1. How to Save a Life- "How to Save a Life"

This is arguably the most well-known The Fray song. This song, made popular by Grey's Anatomy, launched the band into mainstream music. It was also covered on Grey's in their musical episode in season 7. It has gone on to be covered multiple times by multiple artists. The song was originally written by Slade to reflect his time working with troubled youth, and has been a message for fighting grief and depression since its debut in 2005.

I will always love The Fray. Their music speaks to me in ways I can't even describe. Thank you for changing my life with your music.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
