"How to Save a Life" - The Fray (Cover by First To Eleven)

[@Sepen77]

I keep coming back to this. I have to admit, my musical range is very limited, and I have not heard the original before hearing this cover. But this blew me out of the water. I gave the original a try after, but I have to say it does not compare. You've taken this song and made it your own. Bombastically spectacular!

[@Paul_Carver]

Truly look forward to the Thursday release from this band each week .They never fail to amaze and impress. Love this cover , excellent choice 👍

[@patvax137]

Yeah they are on my weekly schedule as well for sure.

[@michaelgentry9284]

Audra's voice is always magical. This cover, "More than a feeling" and "Sweet child of mine" are my favs

[@566ar]

Agree...I play those a lot.

[@slayerozombies]

Dang, Audra really went all out on this one. Fantastic voice!

[@nickzika6575]

Audra flexing the vocals. Really loved the range!

[@Ep1C_EcLypS]

The absolute power and raw emotion is truly amazing! Gave this song a whole 'oomph' to it, an incredible tonal flip!

[@krisgomez3997]

LOVE LOVE LOVE the range Audra displayed here!!!

[@dhamongrimmwolf1220]

I am following them since 2020, to me also in this song they showed not even a small iterative progress but a new level.

[@PaulSink]

Love this cover.Audra's voice slays this !!

[@efficientcritic966]

One of my favorite songs in high school. You guys did such a unique and flawless interpretation.

[@venelinbakalov5945]

This cover is so powerful! All of you did it perfectly! And the way the performance changed after 2.20 is truly amazing! Honestly, I am currently running this on repeat instead of the original...

[@Dylandesuu]

Literally every time I search for a cover of a song, this band has done it like within a month lol

[@ericemerson1836]

I found you in 2020. You made that time a little easier for a lot of us. What a priviledge to see how you all have grown over the last 4 years. Keep up the awesome work.

[@TehButterflyEffect]

I found them shortly after they formed - still Sophomores in high school, I think. Weird watching them grow up in music videos.

[@stefanneuhaus8049]

Love it. One of my all-time favourites. And The Fray is coming back, right now... you must listen to <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="142">02:22</a>. Really nice.

[@gabingston3430]

[@thecatoftime8152]

My best friend from childhood has been missing for 2 years. He started using heavy drugs and, well, I think he’s gone now. I never knew how to help him, his family was never there and they actually didn’t really even want him. His dad kind of wanted a new family with his stepmom and the two kids they had together. My friends mom was schizophrenic and a drug addict, and she was not really in contact with him so she wasn’t really in the picture at all, but I know he really cared about her because he kept all the letters she sent him. He actually started developing symptoms like his mom when we were about 16, and it kind of just kept developing actually. I’m sure that all of the drugs he was using was to break away from the hell that was his mind. I remember him breaking down in my car, and he said that his dad cared more about the new dog than he ever did him. He was a beautiful soul, way smarter, funnier, and just straight cooler than anyone I’ve ever known. He was my first friend in middle school and we both were kind of weird but he would sleepover at my house all the time and eat all my food. My family didn’t really mind, though, cuz they kind of understood that he just didn’t ever want to go home. I miss you Pat, I’ve never really had someone like you in my life since, and I’m sorry that you were dealt those cards. I love you bro, rest in peace.

[@JahanzebKhan]

[@Fishfartyparty]

Man I felt your pain though the comment. I hope his mind is at peace now and that he rests easy

[@Danyruddy7]

Made me remind of my old school days and how many things have changed in my life. Dear old self, I will not let you down.

[@eemarko]

Never would have thought this song would sound right with a woman vocalist. However, she's not only spot-on and even better. She is also really beautiful too❤

[@hllyenaylleth9576]

She sounds flat and the original song is a masterpiece.

[@aryamanbhadauria1584]

And she ain't single, macho 😂

[@Fawn-wc8kv]

​@@aryamanbhadauria1584 lmao

[@jmcminn1076]

Having listened to enough of these, Audra’s super power is that she can change the way she sings each song/part to make it fit with the original while still being uniquely her. Listen to the Emptyness Machine cover and how she sings Mike’s part different from Emily’s part and it just works.

[@j.w.bentley5558]

Killer cover! And I love the production upgrades. First2Eleven 4Life

[@Jasonbean5]

Love the cover as always, props to the editor of the video too! Really like the smooth transitions.

[@masterdude9419]

I listened to this song and the Original at the same time, and your voice and Isaac Slade(Lead Singer of The Fray)'s sounded AMAZING TOGETHER! It's like your voices compliment eachothers' perfectly!

[@Benecius]

One of my fav song and the band that bring back all of my teenage essence 😍

[@jackdaniels655]

I love this song and heard it when it came out. Even live. This is the first time I listened to it. The band is awsome. The vocals are perfect. You finish your words to be heard. Great job love the band.

[@tsnap4]

Man, I don't know how to describe the vibes you brought, but they gave me chills in the best way.

[@MarkJeanmougin]

F211 nailed this one! Very well done!

[@screamstab]

Magic ! Audra's voice is so 😍

[@loic1665]

Love this song! And great performance from Audra singing that high at the end, it's very beautiful

[@FineFlu]

An instant classic for this amazing group! Quintessential!!

[@henrysu2496]

Thanks for surfacing this powerful moving song in my memory. I've been listening to your version nonstop, as well as The Fray's original. An excellent cover!

[@tylerpalmer8973]

The whole thing gave me goosebumps. So awesome.

[@mitho947]

This band keeps impressing me. They can play every genre and make it their own. Another amazing cover. Great song btw.

[@realdreamz8124]

One of the greatest songs ever written 💙

[@ArtGar1]

[@andrewdetloff9831]

This is my favorite cover of f211! Audra smashed the harmony at the end! 🎉

[@bradharris7797]

OMG AUDRA IS SOOOO GORGEOUS!!!

[@imunfathomable]

Its amazing how good your production quality has always been.

[@Ceno-2k]

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 I pray to God he hears you And 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

Great cover. I have such a love-hate relationship with this song. It means so much, but I kick myself every time I hear it. When it mattered most, I was too screwed up and engrossed in my own struggles to hear your final cry for help. I miss you, C.

[@brynefallmusic]

Ok so... i'm not a big cover band fan... cause i rarely feel covers capture the emotion or intent of my favorite songs. At this point i've listened to Black parade, Still dont know my name, Chasing cars and now this banger and it's like... god damn it! You're so good at putting your own twist on it without subtracting what makes the original good, and sometimes even adding to it (i'm looking at you, chorus of Still dont know my name). Just keep doing what you do, you breathe new life into already great songs and i'll be here (definitely not) crying (you're crying) along the way.

What a beautifully phenominal cover. I don't know why but this found me the right way and I let out some tears thinking back on things. Stunning.

[@DerekFletcher1]

Best version of this song by far. Would be so sick to hear some growls alongside the chorus vocals. That’s what’s happening in my head anyway. Great job guys. As always

[@wu.joshua]

Really captured the urgency of the song. And Audra slayed the vocals.

[@wixhingonastar3682]

I feel like it also really captures the slow build up of helpless anger you feel in situations like this. Where you want so desperately to be able to do something and help them but you just don't know what to do. Specifically the way she spits out that last "and you begin to wonder why you came" and going through to the end. Legit chills over here.
