The Fray?s ?How To Save a Life? was born out of a bittersweet inspiration of band leader Isaac Slade when he worked as a mentor at a camp for troubled teens.

At the camp, he was paired up with a 17 year old recovering addict, coming out of a really tough teenage life.

Slade said the song is more of a memoir about his slow motion descent and all the relationships he lost along the way.

Lyrics for how to save a life by the fray enjoyed an overwhelming response from listeners who relate to it and flooded Slade with emails sharing their own stories and how they relate to the song.

?One kid died in a car accident, and I guess it had been the last song he downloaded from his computer. They played it at his funeral, and some of his friends got 'Save a life' tattooed on their arms. The response has been overwhelming," Slade said. The song has resonated with fans in some truly moving ways. Some people actually formed a non-profit organization called Save A Life how to save lives, the fray.

The fray how to save a life free piano sheet is available in The Fray?s website.

Meanwhile, the first single from How To Save A Life, over my head - the fray mp3 climbed into the top 10 on the Billboard singles chart, has been certified platinum, and was streamed more than a million times on MySpace in just one month.

The fray over my headcable car was inspired by Slade's temporary estrangement from his brother.

"It is about a fight I got in with my brother, Caleb. After he graduated high school, we drifted apart and really hadn't spoken in a long time. One day we both realized that we needed to fight it out. We'd been friends for twenty years. That's a long time when you're only 23 years old. We fought it out, and he's one of my best friends today."

Thus, came over my head the fray mp3.

The Denver-based quartet formed in 2002 by Isaac Slade (vocals, piano) and Joe King (guitar, vocals), The Fray owes all of their early success to their organic, grassroots beginnings.

"The grassroots is where music lives and breathes, where it finds its energy and its passion. Music can still exist when it becomes mainstream, but only if it has firm roots with the fans at home. I think you become a musician at home, and simply refine that skill on the road as a touring, major label band."

Joe and Isaac were former schoolmates who bumped into each other unexpectedly, and ? one thing led to another ? they started writing songs together. The songs were catchy enough to attract two of Slade's former band mates ? drummer Ben Wysocki and guitarist Dave Welsh ? who soon joined, completing the band's lineup.

The Fray mp3 garnered an early following through impressive area gigs and the support of local radio, which led to a listener-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 got substantial airplay on two of Denver's top rock stations - the demo version of the fray cablecar became KTCL's top 30 most played song of 2004 in just 4 months.

The listener campaign worked: the band signed to Epic Records in 2004.

The Fray save a life and over my head the fray music has resonated with lots of people: they are one of the most licensed bands of 2006, with their music being featured on Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy, What About Brian, NCIS, One Tree Hill and Bones as well as in HBO's summer promos.

The fray save a life is quickly approaching platinum status, and the band has gone from playing small club gigs and opening slots to headlining larger venues, including a "hometown" gig at legendary Denver venue Red Rocks, which was famously host to U2 (two tracks of their classic live EP Under A Blood Red Sky was recorded there; Incubus and Dave Matthews Band are among the other artists to release live recording from the fabled venue).

Get a feel of their recently released iTunes for over my head the fray mp3, and the fray mp3 of the fray cablecar.

In 2007, the fray over my headcable car will return overseas early in the year, heading to Australia (where the fray cablecar has just hit #1 on the national radio charts), New Zealand, Japan and Germany for the first time. They will embark on a huge US summer tour and hit the studio to work on the follow-up to the fray save a life, a great first chapter in the band's career.
