[@netizenrealness]

this is NOT a party song😅 wtf. I was still happy to see the fray though

[@thomasttv2838]

Rainbow77Girl everytime I listen to this song i cry man

[@aaron6049]

Agreed...one of the few songs I enjoy LESS when played live....great song though 👌

[@mrnahum77]

it's so awkward to dance to this song

[@cdiaz3215]

Agreed :P

[@element5880]

DUDE I WAS GOING TO SAY THE SAME THING

[@TheLineCutter]

***** Being a white person I totally agree. A black guy without a sufficient feel for music needs benefits. Although I have crossed a few of em.

[@FifaPointBuyer]

***** You seriously have to question whats going on in those peoples heads when they are dancing to a song about suicide

[@yerssonsilvacartolin8046]

hahaah those people doesn't even heard the song

[@Taooflu]

Great song, terrible setting for it

[@john.andrew.brighton]

Luyen Dao yeah I heard this song on the 9/11 vids and that sounds more realistic because my dad was there at the Twin Towers that day and I was worried about him and I was only 5

[@john.andrew.brighton]

Luyen Dao at least I'm glad my dad is still alive and I'm almost 22 now. I'm turning 22 in March. It's going to be 20 years since 9/11 in 2021, when I turn 25. And if my dad had died during 9/11 I wouldn't have had my education now.

[@john.andrew.brighton]

@@BaconGod_YT I just turned 28 this past March

[@MrMarsiman]

I know... Watching them dance is kinda akward. But what are they supposed to do instead? Sit on the ground and cry?

[@BurgandeeIris]

that's what I was thinking. Honestly,I would kind of just stand there and listen to it.

[@igotadarkalley]

I would

[@PinePrince]

Yes!

[@neojo8146]

I will just stand there too and listen to the song 🤷

[@tylermcay6676]

"Here's something you don't see everyday... a rock group with a piano" has just killed me inside.

I'm actually bothered that everyone is dancing carelessly when the lyrics are super depressing.

[@zenzmusic7887]

Probably some Brazilian fans, don't know the lyrics .. dancing and twerking on a sad song ...

[@mariatheresafloresca4166]

This song hit me so hard I feel depressed after hearing this I remember my friends didn’t want me anymore and no one I can turn to but god 😭

[@Hi-yt4wm]

stay strong and look forward to what will happen in your life. Things will get better, I promise.

[@Nukeman25Gaming]

[@erichughes3987]

I've always wondered what a concert would be like with a band that sang a bunch of sad depressing songs. Would everyone just sit there and cry?

shes wrong a lot of rock groups have pianos

[@peachout6227]

lol the hype and cheering before the song "where did i go wrong? i lost a friend..." awkward as fuck.

[@nathanaeljames3886]

The emotional trauma behind this song is what makes it, the pain comes through and so many interpret it in different way relating it to their own trauma, hence why it’s a hit!

[@charlesricks2179]

but they're still dancing XD

[@jerryknowles2343]

I like how everyone is having fun to a very sad depressing song, like really? It's too sad to be on a New Years party, but hey atleast it's catchy and nice to listen to

[@theotherside4998]

To all people who are bothered by people who are dancing to this song, Do you realize that the song's melody is catchy? It's not like that the fact when I get to listen to this song, It's all angst and too depressing but instead all I hear is just an upbeat and catchy tone from the band. One, I'm not an expert at reading people's minds or emotions but I'm sure that they do know the meaning of this song obviously the lead singer fucking talked about the various points of a young troubled person who was friends with him that is depressed and committed suicide and wrote a song about that. Two, It's New Year's Eve at the time so what do you guys expect? It's in the video title, It's not Isaac's or his band fault that they made a catchy song like 'How to Save a Life' to make people feel the opposite way of happiness. What do you honestly expect if I hear this song? Sit down and started crying or just stand there listening to the song or dancing to it? I'd pick the second and third option if necessary because the song would change mood in an instant when you listen to the lyrics carefully while listening the melody at the same time. And three, Should I have reconsider my own sanity that I'm literally dancing to a song about someone committing suicide? No, Because everyone who was in that stage with The Fray obviously knew what the lyrics meant or just say 'Fuck the lyrics, The song's catchy and shit'. So, Make that a happy time instead of a sad time in New Year's Eve because you should be glad that you lived your life to the fullest from January to December. It's not their fault that they picked the song that everybody recognized them, But doing that while not minding the lyrics.... It's pretty good.

[@emilgoubasarian9822]

Ok why this song on New Year's Eve? And WHY THE FUCK are they dancing?

[@theFATman4143]

"here's something you don't see everyday, a rock group that features a piano" seriously, journey, foreigner, queen, toto, billy joel, blue rodeo, Chris de burgh, Elvis, Gerry Rafferty, Gowan, Kansas, the list goes on and on, pianos have been in rock since rock began, it's not at all uncommon or "something you don't see everyday" don't say stupid shit on tv without knowing what the hell you talking about!

[@briandukes9421]

This song means a lot to me I struggle with mental health and have felt that way every time I do I listen to song I love the fray

[@Felixdehuiskat-ul2mb]

Same here. I lost my mother and she was always their for me. I don’t have joy in life anymore. I always promised her that I would never leave her. 😢

"Here's something you don't see every day, a rock group that features a piano". Obviously she's never heard of Elton John.

Haha

[@devorahi]

after my attempt on December 17th, 2019, i started listening to this song more often. i imagined how much i could've hurt my family, had it been successful. I am okay now :) my thoughts are gone, and i want to be here for my family and for my future

[@davidbeattie809]

Glad you are on a better path now mate, keep your head up and heading in the right direction, Proud of you for staying and battling through to the better place your in currently. Well done 💙

If you guys knew the real meaning of this song you wouldn't be dancing you'd be crying and know the meaning isint how to save a life Isaac said he wrote it because he doesn't know how to touch those people who hurt them selves

[@GO-wb1gf]

well what are they supposed to do ? be depressed & sad & act dead at a concert ? lol come on people you guys take everything so offensive

Did she really say a piano in a rock group is rare, almost everygroup uses one or a synth

[@mizzoupatriot8814]

Lmao Fergie where have you been? Some of the greatest rock songs ever written featured piano smh lol. Everybody know dat, gotdamn girl.

[@aland.3728]

Maybe it’s just me, but this song just has so much meaning and pain attached. I couldn’t kick off a new year with this.

[@dmariussimon2881]

If u knew the meaning of this song ud probably stop dancing and start crying

[@1JYNOT]

This sounds nothing like the album version, more like some wannabe on america's got talent or some shite like that

[@suno186]

what was that lady talking about piano is one of the most common rock band instruments

[@farrafawcett794]

I don't know why people dance to this song. I cried listening to this song

[@Haiang-sb6mz]

this live is better then the original. Fray's voice is so deep, catchy.

[@ahmedfakhreddine6035]

I confirm

[@M3taLLuX]

seeing these people dance and laugh to this song is the most heartbreaking part of this video

[@zzulm]

This song is about choosing live and mental health doesn't get enough attention so it's a great way to talk about it.

[@jakegoldsmith9715]

He sounds better live!reminds me of kings of leons I wanna hear him do a pearl jam cover

when this song came out in 2005 or 6 just great music but now in 2024 looking back and full of regrets its painful to listen damn it where did i go wrong !!!!

Why is the crowd dancing !?!?

Sueño con algo así en Chile :( la mejor banda de la Historia,te amo Isaac Slade 💕😍😭🎹

She sounded like she didn’t know music very well. More pianos, the better!

[@diego_chabez]

0:04 umm Coldplay and every other band

[@debbiepritchett8630]

Great song. Great voice.

[@spike4403]

Why are they dancing to a song about suicide ?

[@DjoZzef]

Well... Metalheads headbang on 'A tout le monde' by Megadeth, which is an even more explicit suicide song so... I don't really mind seeing these people dance here. It's music with a certain rythm after all.

[@kashxlukky7]

I wish I can time travel back to this year

[@beeeeeej]

Isnt this suppose to be a depressed song? why are they so happy?

[@annalee4366]

Why YOU DANCING SLOW DANCE IS THE BETTER WAY TO RESPECT THE SONG NOT LIKE FRICKEN TWERK IT LIKE MILEY WAS ON

[@nathanhopkins4791]

Everytime... everytime I hear this song... I can't help but remember my dad. Makes me cry everytime.

[@picklenick1565]

I think you guys don’t understand thag dancing doesn’t have to mean pure bliss and happiness. Dancing is expressing emotion. This is not a heavy party song. Everyone is correct on that. But this is a song that has brought the beauty of humanity together. That’s why they are dancing. Where did we go wrong…

[@HenryMusic-i9f]

“Rock group that uses a piano.” Fergie, there are countless amounts of rock bands that use piano. Lynyrd Skynyrd, supertramp, Beatles, and so many more

[@handyman2183]

GNR, Aerosmith, Cinderella….

[@chrisdd15690]

Great song but very odd choice for New Year’s Eve 😬

[@jacobturman5602]

They could’ve stood there and sang but they probably didn’t know the lyrics.

[@rucha7683]

"A rock group that features a rock group" Pretty sure almost every rock group in history has incorporated piano

[@markuslitates3370]

The frays best song is munich

[@bruva207]

I guess this is what Axl Rose meant when he said "dance to the tension of a world on edge". Suicide song and all...

[@TheDaftMau5]

I wouldn't say the song is about suicide. Isaac Slade said the lyrics come from his experience working as a mentor with a 17 year old kid who was addicted to drugs and had a lot of issues. Nonetheless, I still think it wasn't right of the audience to dance to this song.
