The Fray

This song is about a person who's life was falling apart. He was trying to find God during this time, but couldn't. He found God once it had all passed.

"Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."-Slade (songwriter)

"When I first heard this song, I liked it but never really listened to the lyrics. Then I saw the video and was so confused about what the song meant - were they yelling at God, doubting Him, or questioning Him?! The more I listened and watched the video, the more clear it becomes.

See, God always finds us, and to us it seems like He finds us too late, but really it is at just the right time. It is when we are broken, lost, confused and/or hurt that we need Him the most. He knows just how much we can take before He steps in and saves us.

And we always wonder what takes Him so long to answer us, why does He wait until things get to their worst before He helps us. But He is saying the same to/about us. Most of us never seek Him until we are at our most broken. He is always there and we don't call Him until we need Him.

So the question really is, why did WE have to wait to find HIM?"

In MY opinion, I don't believe that the person in this song ever committed suicide...

In heaven, the streets of gold are sometimes referred to as "First Street" and Amistad was the slave ship that was basically comparable to "hell". I think they guy in the song is basically at a crossroads between going one way or the other. "All my days, spent by the telephone, it never rang - and all I needed was a call, that never came," I take this as though all he ever wanted or needed was to know that God was there for him; he didn't need a miracle, or some big elaborate sign that everything was going to be okay - all he need was to know that he had support, and that God was really looking out for him. He's been trying to connect with God, but hasn't been able to make it click, until he meets him right at the corner between high life and low life. God is portrayed as this laid back, wise old man smoking a cigarette to make him seem more approachable. So, finally, God "finds" him, and the man is lost, broken, and on the VERGE of suicide -- but he is found, and his faith is renewed.

Ahhhhh yes! The old "you don't work" routine! Won't work on his part. LOL If men had to pay for a cook, cleaning lady, laundry person, taxi driver (without fees) to drive kids to school, do errands such a grocery shop, pay bills, etc., they couldn't afford it! Being a housewife is NOT a dirty word! There are downsides to having a wife work ... fast meals, seldom seeing each other, both being too tired their sex life isn't all that great, etc. You come under "common-law" and there is a Statute of Limitations as to how long you have to live with a person before you are considered equal to married couples. Please go on: www.google.com Type in: What is considered common-law in the State of ____________." Just put your State in there. You have PASSED THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS and you are entitled, by law, to half of everything he has and that can also include his retirement plan! If you have two vehicles, then you are entitled to one. If you own a home, you are entitled to half of the money you would get from that home. If he refuses to sell then he has to "buy you out" and give you your half of the money from the house. You are entitled to contents in that house. If you can, please seek legal counsel. Make notes as to what legal questions you want to ask and try to get your answers all in that first hour (saves you money.) Also, go on: www.google.com Type in: What rights do a common-law spouse have in the State of _________. By doing this you are doing much of your own homework and are better prepared to fight your spouse and can get some help from a lawyer without dragging it out too much. If you have children with your spouse this could complicate matters. You really do need some legal advice. Ask some of your friends or even family as they may know a lawyer that will give you a break on fees. Good luck Marcy Unfortunately courts are only interested in proven facts. The person in question will not automatically receive any property even if a "common law" marriage is established, which is not that simple an issue. Most states do not recognize "common law" marriages and the few that do do not consider all property belonging to the individuals as jointly owned. The person who has proof of the contribution made towards the purchase of said property will be the person who is considered to own it. Real property must be jointly titled to be even considered for partition. If the male owns a vehicle, home or bank account in his name only, the property legally belongs to him and the "significant other" has no claim. If children are involved, judges tend to be more lenient in their decisions as to household goods and those items belonging specifically to the child/children. In such case a child support issue would be a totally different and complicated situation. The problem is the law does not have provisions for the dissolution of a relationship outside of marriage, that has no written contract and/or one of the partner's has not made financial contributions. In all likelihood, the woman will have to file a lawsuit and provide proof of what she purchased for the home or hope she is heard by a very liberal judge. First of all you should check with a lawyer to see what rights you have as their partner. And if you dont have a lawyer talk to someonee who would know the number of years in your state to be considered common law spouses. then they might be able to get some benefits especially if u have kids The poster that did discuss that common-law may not be recognized in certain States is correct, but that is why I told you to go on www.google.com to find out for sure. I'm from Canada and after 6 months of living together you are considered common-law and whether the title of said home/property is in both names means diddly in a court of law (it's divided), but true, if the wife (or husband) has total custody or partial custody of any children they may get the house and one vehicle, etc. Marcy The laws may seem harsh in these situations but it is the law whether in the U.S. or Canada. In common law relationships no presumption of joint ownership of property or assets is made nor is there automatic entitlement to either party. If one member of the union has become "substantially enriched" by the contribution of the other, the court will take that into consideration for possible distribution of assets if it can be proven that a "joint trust" exist. States that recognize common-law marriages are, Alabama, Colorado, Wash. D.C., Iowa, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Utah is the only state that does not require the couple to make public their decision to live in a common law union. The minimum for establishing a common-law marriage is three years, the maximum is ten years. Texas law requires that a couple must make known their intent to live as man and wife within two years of the relationship begining, or there is no presumption such a union existed. In all common law states if at any time the couple separate, the "time limit" becomes invalid and must restart at the begining if they resume co-habitation. In the U.S. all real property, meaning houses, land, motor vehicles are titled either Joint Ownership, Tenancy-in-Common, Joint Tenancy, Joint Tenancy With The Rights to Survivorship or Tenancy-By-The-Entirety. A judge cannot partition property except under the requirements of the state law in which the property is titled. If the property is titled to one person only, it cannot in any state be partitioned with the exception of a CP state if owned in a traditional marriage. Did you have children? COMMON-LAW IN CANADA: Canadian federal law does not have "common law marriage", (but referred to as "common-law) but various federal laws include "common law status," which automatically takes effect once two people (of ANY GENDER) have lived together in a romantic relationship for ONE FULL YEAR! Partners are eligible for various government benefits of married spouses based upon their relationship with the individual who is eligible for some type of family based benefit. As family law varies between provinces, there are differences between the provinces regarding the recognition of common law marriage. COMMON-LAW IN U.S. All States are different and 3/4 of the United States do not recognize "common-law marriage." HOWEVER, you can get a document from a lawyer where you both sign and treat your common-law marriage like a normal marriage. This is considered only as a CONTRACT and will stand up in any court of law. Marcy

Yes. Isaac Slade has two younger brothers - Caleb and Micah.

Happiness by The Fray is a sad song that Isaac Slade wrote about missing a friend (girlfriend) who was in Australia at the time.

Pain, hunger, and thirst, to name a few.

The phrase "right glad you are he was not at this fray" expresses relief or happiness that a particular person was not involved in a conflict or battle. The speaker is conveying that the absence of this individual may have spared them from danger or negative consequences. This sentiment often reflects the value placed on the person's well-being or the potential impact they could have had on the situation.

The correct way to use "fray" in this sentence is: "her shirt cuffs were frayed." "Frayed" is the past tense of "fray" and describes the condition of the shirt cuffs being worn or unravelled at the edges.

The song is not listed for the film's soundtrack according to IMDB . It was probably just in the film's trailer . Neither is it listed on the film's soundtrack .

Depends entirely on the situation. A cut finger may take a few minutes, whereas a bullet to the chest may tale several hours to quell the internal bleeding.

It can go either way.

I'm pretty sure in one of their song he says "d*mn hold on"... I don't know but I just remember hearing the Fray say d*mn or something.

"You Found Me is a tough song for me. It started from just a song with a lot of hate towards God. More of questions, "why" It's about the disappointment, the heartache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."

Said Issac Slade in an interview.

"I kept getting these phone calls from home - tragedy after tragedy... If there is some kind of Person in charge of this planet - are they sleeping? Smoking? Where are they? I just imagined running into God standing on a street corner like Bruce Springsteen, smoking a cigarette, and I'd have it out with Him."

The climax of "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" occurs when Mr. Shiftlet marries Lucynell, the deaf and mute daughter of Mrs. Crater, in order to get her car. This moment represents the culmination of Mr. Shiftlet's manipulation and deceit, leading to a tragic outcome for Lucynell. It reveals the selfish and morally corrupt nature of Mr. Shiftlet's character.
