Song Information
From looking into the song, I have found out that it was inspired by a band members experience. Isaac Slade, lead singer of The Fray was once 'a mentor to a crack addicted teen'. Slade then went onto say that the song is about the man's life, showing 'his slow motion descent and all the relationships he lost along the way' (Quotes taken from http://www.thefray.com/us/biography).
As well as finding out the idea behind the song, I have found out that many fans have written to the band informing them of how it has helped them in their struggles. And I have also learnt that a non-profit organisation was set up. But not only this, their fan base is ever growing with shows such as Scrubs, One Tree Hill and Grey's Anatomy all playing the band's songs.
Originally on the album 'How To Save A Life', the song was listed as the third track. However it doesn't only feature here, the song is now part of the album 'Live at The Electric Factory Bootleg No. 1' and 'Acoustic In Nashville - Bootleg No. 2'.
