This song reminded me to remember my grandfather who passed away in October 2006 when he died before my freshmen football game started. My uncle passed away past four years ago because the police never find him and confirmed that he died in related boat accident. It brokes my heart and shattered into pieces. I heard this song published by the Fray and I started to hear it and it enlightened my heart and cope myself and accept my loss.

That song is amazing and means so much to different people. I heard one time that this kid died in a car accident and the last song he had downloaded was how to save a life. All of his friends got "save a life" tatooed on their arms.How sad!

Yes, that is my favorite song ever! It has helped me through a lot this year too; we've had 3 kids at our school die upexpectedly this year.
Do you know the story behind the song?
It's about a teen Isaac Slade, the lead singer, mentored at a church camp who was over his head in drugs and alcohol. He told Isaac that he only wanted someone to come along side him as a friend to help him solve his problem, instead of as an enemy with a change-or-I-won't-talk-to-you-... attitude, which he never really got. Isaac wrote the song about what the kid really wanted and how Isaac would want someone to approach him if he were doing something wrong. It is told from the point of view of one of those people with the negative attitude and them realizing their mistakes after he's gone in the chorus, but the verses are told from the addict's point of view.
The name of the song comes from a sign at a swimming pool that Isaac saw with directions on CPR titled . . . How To Save A Life.
The last I heard, the kid was still alive though . . . and Isaac had just recently talked to him

I like the song, but I'm not a big fan of the band. It's nice to hear how it's helped you.
