The Fray - Run For Your Life (Music Video!)
The Fray's Isaac Slade and the rest of the band get super nostalgic in the video for "Run For Your Life", the official second single from the American alternative rock band's third album "Scars & Stories" - I like the message behind the song, but "Run For Your Life" doesn't scream 'radio hit' to me, sorry. Is it really hard to compose another "How to Save a Life", or "You Found Me"?. The Fray were on a succesful 'first singles' streak until this "Scars & Stories" era. The first single "Heartbeat" just couldn't compare to its predecessors, above mentioned, and obviously flopped on the charts. Now The Fray is looking to get back on the 'right' path but I'm afraid "Run For Your Life" (and sadly none of the songs on "Scars & Stories") won't do anything. It's missing THAT SOMETHING both "How to Save a Life", or "You Found Me" has.
If I were The Fray I would consider re-releasing "Scars & Stories", giving it a 'real' first single. I know they can *prays*. Back on the newly-premiered "Run For Your Life" visual, it sees The Fray guys wandering through a lost desert, Isaac Slade singing the song, and a parallel story showing random people (kind of reflecting on their lives) running towards an unknown goal. Check it out!
What do YOU think of the music video/song?
