Yay....The Fray

News Headline: "Unsuspecting target "hooked" after hypnosis by radio singe."

I have been waiting anxiously since April 27th to see The Fray at the Showbox in Seattle. I fell in love with their single, "Cable Car" early this year and it became my favorite song to hear over the radio of my Big Red Van. It accompanied me on many late night trips from my BF's house to my own.

My obsession with this song coaxed me to delve into The Fray's other stuff. After one or two more tracks, I was officially hooked. Maybe its the moments where you hear the elegant piano clearly over smooth guitar riffs, or maybe its the touching lyrics, heavy with life lessons-- maybe its the easiness of the combination.

As BF and I waited in a line that wrapped around two street block corners just to get in, I learned a couple things:

-I share the same musical taste as a large population of NW's teenie boppers
-I still don't look out of place among a group of 15 year olds
-My life wont be complete until I meet the person who writes headlines for the nearby adult entertainment center..."Privates of the Caribbean"...how timely!

Unique highlight of the show:

Isaac, lead singer, takes a touching moment to perform solo, a song he dedicated to the time he and his grandmother used to watched T.V. together. He gets up from the piano bench to sing both male and female parts of "A Whole New World" from Aladdin. I hope to gawd that was supposed to be comical... wouldn't hurt to practice that number a little more...LOL.

The Fray sounds so much more amazing in person than over my laptop's built in speakers!
