Love Don't Die - The Fray
The Fray乐队风格与英国的Coldplay和Keane相似，The Fray是新一批乐坛新兴血液中受英式乐队（诸如Coldplay和Keane）影响较深的一支，也保留了美国90年代传统摇滚Counting Crows和the Wallflowers的气质，还有点Jimmy Eat World这种EMO乐队的冲劲。但THE FRAY的特点在于乐队对钢琴的钟爱。也许就是因为钢琴，才使得他们的音乐有种特别的气质。旗帜般飘扬的主音唱腔颇具英式感，骨子里还是保守的美式作风，时不时来点情绪性的激扬调调，他们不是那种风格一脉相承的乐队，截取各家之长是他们一个显而易见的强项。
经过三年的努力，在2005年的9月终于推出了首张专辑《How to Save a Life》，而之前的单曲《Over My Head (Cable Car)》则最早出现在电影原声大碟《Stealth》之中。这张专辑给人一种相当醒目的、耳目一新的感觉，专辑中的主打歌曲《Over My Head (Cable Car)》无疑是一首值得多听几遍的歌曲，是一首让人“过耳不忘”的歌曲。而标题歌曲《How to Save a Life》来得更加的抒情，开场的钢琴绝对让人沉醉，能够立即抓住人心，歌曲也在很大程度上和《Over My Head (Cable Car)》打成平手，专辑在美国本土卖了150万张，在BILLBOARD专辑榜上更是排到了前12名的位置。
歌词
If I know one thing, that’s true
It ain’t what you say, it’s what you do
And you don’t say much, yeah, that’s true
But I listen when you do
A thousand years go by
But love don’t die
If I know one thing, that’s true
Instead I’m never leaving you
And you don’t say much, yeah, that’s true
But I lose it when you do
Don’t let them tell no lie
Love don’t die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don’t
And even if they try
They’ll never take my body from your side
Love don’t die
If there is one thing, that’s true
It’s not what I say, it’s what I do
And I say too much, yeah, that’s true
So just listen to what I do
A thousand years go by
But love don’t die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don’t
And even if they try
They’ll never take my body from your side
Love don’t die
She can break it up
Shake your money down
You can box it in
Bury it in the ground
You can close it off and turn it away
Try to keep it down, six feet in the ground
But love don’t die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don’t
And even if they try
They’ll never take my body from your side
Love don’t die
No matter where we go
Or even if we don’t
I’d like to watch them try
They’ll never take my body from your side
Love don’t die
