If you came here to this video in a dark moment...if you’re losing someone...if you are lost...if you are alone...please remember...you are loved...your life matters...stay strong. :)
Thank you, I don’t think I could have done much to save my friend ! It all happens for a reason they say, somehow between the fog and overwhelming sadness this song is comforting.
A close of friend of mine passed away recently. He was violently murdered. The last video of him uploaded was him singing this song. At the vigil, I sang this song for him. It was the most beautiful moment in my life so far, and I will never hear this song the same again. It's crazy how a song can have one meaning when it doesn't mean much to you, then suddenly have ALL the meaning in the world. I am forever changed.
Lynzi Stringer I know exactly what you mean. My step sister committed suicide recently and I listened to Passengers song - All the little lights and it spoke to me in ways i couldn't have imagined.
My big brother took his life in 2017 and I’ll say that I’ve had a great recovery from grief, guilt and trauma, but god damn this song tears a hole in my chest every time I hear it
My dad passed away 12 years ago in his sleep, every time I hear this it breaks my heart.. ‘I would have stayed up with you all night’... miss and love you dad xxx
I've known this song for years!!! Since I was too young to understand the depths of emotions that are expressed in this song. First time hearing the live acoustic version and I must say, I'm in LOVE with the singer! He put so much feeling into the lyrics and melody that I felt like I was literally in his soul, feeling every bit of pain he feels. Crazy.
In the radio version we've all heard.. The piano is iconic. The drums are iconic. But even when you take the piano and the drums away, it's still the same song. It's him. The passion in his voice. The uniqueness of his voice. One of those songs where no cover will ever do it justice because it's his voice that makes the song.
this song reminds me of my mother, she took her own life after a hard battle with cancer. i cant help but let tears stream down when this plays. although she did inspire me to be a emt with her death. i dont want anyone to have to deal with what i went through.
Mate it's so hard I've been told I have 3 different type of cancers this year and got the all clear now but all I feel like doing is leaving this world it hurts so much 😭😭
Would like to thank the fray for this song. This song is such a good song for me as it reminds me of a person who i not only call my Dad but also my best friend. He committed suicide 5yrs ago and the words in this song are so true.
The lyrics made me cry. I lost a friend just recently and it made me wonder that if I would've stayed up with him all night, would he have committed suicide? My dear friend wherever you are; you are dearly missed. Rest peacefully with our dear Lord.
OMGWUNSIU he knows you miss him :) Suicide leaves more hurt than it solves :( I’m sorry you’re dealing with this... Peace and healing to you soon. ((((((Hugs)))))))
I lost my dear friend Sam to suicide in May. Everytime I hear this song i break down. I would give anything to have him back. Sending you love and strength my friend
You can't really compare songs before and songs right now. Im amazed how fast music changed in a matter of years. I hope songs like these will comeback to life :(
The most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Wish this version made it to mainstream...So sad I've missed my chance to see Isaac perform with this band. My all-time-greatest-ever-favourite band. ❤🔥
Alternative rock makes me to travel with my Mind in America.. In the same moment that never been there.. I hope God will give me a chance to go there and to live the rest of my Life... Love you US God Bless you... my dream country since i remember myself... Good night from Greece..
man, how music brings back memories and feels. about over a year now. I lost a friend whom could've been a very close friend of mine he's gone, due to depression, he was bipolar. things were too much for him. I sometimes look back.. Only if I had known, how to save a life. beautiful music and R.I.P. Stepan Schendel, despite your flaws and weakness etc you were an amazing person things could've been better for you.
What a totally emotional brilliant performance maaan ! Issac Slade has such an amazing gift right there, first time Ive seen this and only 2-3 years late lol theank you fray people :)
I replay this acoustic version every night until I fall asleep, no matter "how old" it is . I usually cry every night to it too. It just helps me as an singer myself for some strange reason.
I love love love the facial expression, it shows the feeling in the song...he sings from the soul and heart. Don't change your voice man....I LOVE IT!!!
I lost my best friend 13 years ago when we were young teens. At times I just lie down and hit repeat and think. It’s what I need to do sometimes to be ok. To anyone going through a hard time, when’s things get hard, keep going
I love this group and I didn't really until I heard them on one of my favorite shows "Greys Anatomy". The song is about a friend who committed suicide who he tried but couldn't help. I didn't know that until a friend told me. The words are heartfelt and meaningful and it moves me in a way I can't even begin to describe.
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along And pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
The raw emotion makes this song. that's it. Covers simply cannot capture the passion that this song requires. Just like chasing cars has a certain tone that can't be replicated. one and only, and so good
The Fray always and forever the best album by them still like with chains and transforms the first time I saw the video for cable car over my head such an awesome band miss you Isaac Slade❤❤
I loved this song on first listen, I have watched this video hundreds of times now. It is the best version I have heard, it is simply exquisite on every level.
I want to dedicate this song to my daughters friend Jen. She lost her life Friday in a slip and fall in her tub. I wish someone was there to save her life. A beautiful soul we lost.
Step one, you say we need to talk He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left, and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came Where did I go wrong?

Nurses know....exactly why I'm here :/
Thank you, I don’t think I could have done much to save my friend ! It all happens for a reason they say, somehow between the fog and overwhelming sadness this song is comforting.
Maybe if I had friends who actually gave a shit about me then I wouldn’t be home alone on my last Homecoming night.
Ohhh stfu
❤
He really feels what he sings...
Weee
Nacho Diaz 😞😰😭
swear bro
There's now way of knowing that
Well, he wrote the song about a kid he knew when he committed suicide...so yeah...how could you not sing a song like that knowing what inspired it?
A close of friend of mine passed away recently. He was violently murdered. The last video of him uploaded was him singing this song. At the vigil, I sang this song for him. It was the most beautiful moment in my life so far, and I will never hear this song the same again.

+Lynzi Stringer I am very sorry for you loss D':
sorry for your loss...

My big brother took his life in 2017 and I’ll say that I’ve had a great recovery from grief, guilt and trauma, but god damn this song tears a hole in my chest every time I hear it
Much love my guy
@@gamernick11 much appreciated friend ❤️ same to you
Hang in there bro. 🙏🏼
((((((So many hugs))))))))
Same
I like him because he shows SO much emotion in his singing... which is what a lot of singers lack I love The Fray
Just looking at all these comments.. I'm so glad that this song touched so many people.
My dad passed away 12 years ago in his sleep, every time I hear this it breaks my heart.. ‘I would have stayed up with you all night’... miss and love you dad xxx
my dad passed away 2 weeks ago i know all the feelings im young he died on cancer and i feel like i missed so much
Crying- sending hugs to you

Age is just a number, its never too young or too old to learn something
It's never too late, I wish u the best 💪🏾💪🏾
I started two months ago I’m 18
Only positive vibes u got this
this song gives me chills, depression and confidence at the same time...
simply an example how music is able to change my mood and my emotions
cheers.

Salud!
So agree with you
Bee Jamieson thats sad 😖😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Amen sister
This was great, guys! Me and my friend love this song and this just was the prikk over the i for our new years eve🎉
In the radio version we've all heard..
The piano is iconic.
The drums are iconic.
But even when you take the piano and the drums away,
it's still the same song.
It's him.
The passion in his voice.
The uniqueness of his voice.
One of those songs where no cover will ever do it justice because it's his voice that makes the song.
That relaxed vocal fry that grunge and post grunge singers use really hits deep, it’s my favorite vocal style
this song reminds me of my mother, she took her own life after a hard battle with cancer. i cant help but let tears stream down when this plays. although she did inspire me to be a emt with her death. i dont want anyone to have to deal with what i went through.
So sorry for your loss. I know that's a kind of grief that stays with you all your life. my mother is currently battling stomach and uterine cancer.
I'm so sorry
Sorry to hear bro. May your life lead you to eternal happiness.
sorry for your loss man. I hope all is well.
Mate it's so hard I've been told I have 3 different type of cancers this year and got the all clear now but all I feel like doing is leaving this world it hurts so much 😭😭
One of the few people left in the mainstream industry that actually put soul in their music, nothing but respect for these guys
First time hearing the acoustic version. I have listened to it several times since and every time I can't help but cry.
This acoustic session shows his absolutely AMAZING voice even better! Wow... wow
Would like to thank the fray for this song. This song is such a good song for me as it reminds me of a person who i not only call my Dad but also my best friend. He committed suicide 5yrs ago and the words in this song are so true.
David J Upsall the same exact thing happened to me, I know how you feel David :(
David J Upsall gosh!!!! I am so sorry. How are you now?
Just gotta take each day at a time, sometimes find myself sitting in a daze and going on long walks anything to try take my mind off it
David J Upsall My condolences my friend.Time heals everything.
Stay strong.
the voice is exactly like the studio version!! so awesome
This band have changed the world so much with this song Extraordinary.
It's perfect
One of the best songs ever and no one can sing it like him. The emotion and passion that he puts in his performances is just amazing!
I cry almost every time I hear this. Always gives me the chills. I want his voice inside me.
Uhm
@@Topvideos16356 lmao
this song will never get old....( for me )...soo powerful and i cry everytime i listen to this song......
Marlyn Manilay so true.. me too
Marlyn Manilay lol 😂😂😭😭😂😂
The lyrics made me cry. I lost a friend just recently and it made me wonder that if I would've stayed up with him all night, would he have committed suicide?
My dear friend wherever you are; you are dearly missed. Rest peacefully with our dear Lord.
My best friend took his own life on July 30th 2018. Fuck... I miss him
OMGWUNSIU he knows you miss him :)
Suicide leaves more hurt than it solves :(
I’m sorry you’re dealing with this...
Peace and healing to you soon.
((((((Hugs)))))))
I lost my dear friend Sam to suicide in May. Everytime I hear this song i break down. I would give anything to have him back.
Sending you love and strength my friend
So much emotion when he sings
You can't really compare songs before and songs right now. Im amazed how fast music changed in a matter of years. I hope songs like these will comeback to life :(
as a kid I listened to this song.. now as an adult at 30 years old.. just hits different, I guess we really understand
The fray, I just wanted to thank you for writing this song!! This I feel tells the story of my best friend and I! Thank you so much!!
I thought nothing is better than the original version...till i heard this..
It's just perfect..This is music !
This song hits too close to home. So hard not to cry when I listen to it. But I love it.
The most beautiful voice I have ever heard. Wish this version made it to mainstream...So sad I've missed my chance to see Isaac perform with this band. My all-time-greatest-ever-favourite band. ❤🔥
Wow! Such depth in that voice. What a song.
Alternative rock makes me to travel with my Mind in America..
In the same moment that never been there..
I hope God will give me a chance to go there and to live the rest of my Life...
Love you US
God Bless you...
my dream country since i remember myself...
Good night from Greece..
Their whole album got me through high school. Really love The Fray.
So grateful for this band and their acoustic versions are truly amazing.
We need more singers like him!! 2019! Such soul ful music and meaningful song
Love this song !
still cant get over his voice
This song meant a lot to me 10 years ago. Wonderful version, passion never dies.
his voice is so powerful and perfect
man, how music brings back memories and feels.
about over a year now. I lost a friend whom could've been a very close friend of mine he's gone, due to depression, he was bipolar. things were too much for him. I sometimes look back.. Only if I had known, how to save a life.

What a totally emotional brilliant performance maaan ! Issac Slade has such an amazing gift right there, first time Ive seen this and only 2-3 years late lol theank you fray people :)
Me & my young daughters have watched this video so many times. We absolutely love The Fray & this version is amazing!!!❤️
One of my favourite songs. Amazing voice!
This just shows why they are "artists" and not "singers" This is pure gold. The emotion put into this is incredible...
I can feel what he is singing.... such a powerful song
I replay this acoustic version every night until I fall asleep, no matter "how old" it is .
I usually cry every night to it too.
It just helps me as an singer myself for some strange reason.
*a not an , lol. I was about to put an artist but then chose singer instead
me too! I thought I was the only one!
when songs do have a soul
I love love love the facial expression, it shows the feeling in the song...he sings from the soul and heart. Don't change your voice man....I LOVE IT!!!
his voice sounds exactly the same from studio version lol. damn
element74 it' better, not Simply the same
no.
"definitely sounds worse but still good"
So more emotion in a song sounds worse?
Please leave mr x lover
@@nemesi8800 I think he's referring to the fact that Isaac missed a few notes
Even better !!
The guitar on that down note is what sells this acoustic. It's beautiful
Amazing emotions in his voice. Beautiful sound.
the pain in his voice and emotions pours into the song. my best song from the fray so far. I'd love another song like this one from them.
I lost my best friend 13 years ago when we were young teens. At times I just lie down and hit repeat and think. It’s what I need to do sometimes to be ok. To anyone going through a hard time, when’s things get hard, keep going
Amen Spinmaster! It's always darkest before the LIGHT 🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕☀️
the fact that he's crying just makes this so much better, pure magic
I sang this song to my oldest every night when I rocked him to sleep... hearing it brings tears to my eyes every time.
I love this group and I didn't really until I heard them on one of my favorite shows "Greys Anatomy". The song is about a friend who committed suicide who he tried but couldn't help. I didn't know that until a friend told me. The words are heartfelt and meaningful and it moves me in a way I can't even begin to describe.
woah it made me so happy when you mentioned greys
;)
I love Greys Anatomy so much
Lynne Murphy I'm so sorry
I've been looking everywhere for this version!
Talent. Pure talent.
The song, the lyrics, his voice, their music... Everything's perfect.
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
Where did I go wrong?I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life
How to save a life
i don't think i've ever heard so much emotion in a voice like this, wow...
Guy is awesome enough that he sounds just the same live as he does recorded. No need for any digital tweaking.
Coradon I disagree with you. I would say he sounds even better life
The raw emotion makes this song. that's it. Covers simply cannot capture the passion that this song requires. Just like chasing cars has a certain tone that can't be replicated. one and only, and so good
I miss the fray, so much
Wow his voice is amazing.. made me understood why some people can sing and how naturally talented some singers are
this song fucks with me on an emotional level
It is almost 2018 , and The Fray is still and forever will be my favorite band
A lot of bands can't sing live and thank god the fray is not one of them
Jacob Prater bands are much better than pop artsits and most of em can sing live
Jacob Prater absolutely 😋😍
@@shb1 the fray are a pop group
Can people stop bagging on pop, it just means popular music 😆
Yeah, but it’s adopted a new meaning. it doesn’t mean that anymore
@@tn9955 pop music did a 180 about ten years ago.
The Fray always and forever the best album by them still like with chains and transforms the first time I saw the video for cable car over my head such an awesome band miss you Isaac Slade❤❤
I don't think The Fray has one bad song.
Who's think?
There is! Nothing.
This is so beautiful and it sounds like the original song it's so good. 💖
+Donnisha Ann Do you realize he is the lead singer of the Fray?
