The Fray is a Grammy-award winning Denver-based band led by Isaac Slade, most recognized for their piano-infused song, “How to Safe a Life,” off of their 2005 debut album, (the top selling album on iTunes in 2006). The Fray recently released its second self-titled album, The Fray, on February 3, 2009, and its first single, “You Found Me” is the spotlight of today’s Mental Minute.

Describing the personal meaning behind the song, Slade posted on his blog, “You Found Me” is a tough song for me. 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.”
