I really like alternative versions of the same song. One of my favourite artists Joe Jackson is a master in it - there are I don’t know how many versions of his classic “Is She Really Going Out WIth Him?”
When I wrote about The Fray’s How To Save A Life I thought I would also look at some of the videos that were available on YouTube. OK - these are mainly different videos, not different versions of the song. Although I did find some alternative versions like covers or acoustic versions. Also check out the 9/11 version!
Enjoy :o) [click to continue…]

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
CHORUS:
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 pray to God he hears you
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS:
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
I also wrote about how the TV show Grey’s Anatomy helped to make this song a hit, and gathered a number of How To Save A Life videos on this blog.
Look for The Fray at Amazon.com
Or Amazon.ca.

How To Save A Life by Denver band The Fray is one of those hits that benefited from being used in popular TV shows. The appeal for TV producers must be a combination of an easy melodic pop tune and a title that can be used for many different situations. “How to save a life” can be used literally and metaphorically, and is a powerful statement all in itself. It all started on Grey’s Anatomy…

The Boston Celtics have done it! They captured their 17th National Basketball Association championship - a record, but their first one since 1986. They did this by by defeating (demolishing) the visiting Los Angeles Lakers: 131-92.
