아메리칸 록의 전통을 계승하는 밴드 프레이가 2005년 9월 발매한 본작은 발표 당시에는 비평가들의 호평에 비해 사람들의 관심들의 못 끌었지만, 시간이 흐르면 흐를수록 그 인지도를 넓혀가는 뒷심을 발휘하고 있다. 아이작 슬레이드(Isaac Slade, 보컬), 조 킹(Joe King, 기타), 데이브 웰시(Dave Welsh, 기타), 벤 와이삭키(Ben Wysocki, 드럼), 지미 스토퍼(Jimmy Stofer, 베이스)의 5인조로 구성된 프레이는 얼핏 들으면 라이프하우스나 월플라워스 등을 연상케 하지만, 내면을 들여다보면 아메리칸 록의 뼈대에 감수성 어린 피아노와 우울한 정서를 더해 좀 더 퓨전적인 경향을 갖고 있음을 알 수 있다. 정통 아메리칸 록의 진화된 버전이라고나 할까? 현재 빌보드 싱글 차트에서 두각을 보이고 있는 곡은 ‘Over My Head(Cable Car)’로, 한 번 들으면 귀에 각인되는 멜로디 라인이 매력적이다.

The Fray - Over My Head (Cable Car) Lyrics

I never knew

I never knew that everything was falling through

That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue

To turn and run when all I needed was the truth

But that's how it's got to be

It's coming down to nothing more than apathy

I'd rather run the other way than stay and see

The smoke and who's still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind 

Let's rearrange

I wish you were a stranger I could disengage

Say that we agree and then never change

Soften a bit until we all just get along

But that's disregard

Find another friend and you discard

As you lose the argument in a cable car

Hanging above as the canyon comes between

Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind

And suddenly I become a part of your past

I'm becoming the part that don't last

I'm losing you and its effortless

Without a sound we lose sight of the ground 

In the throw around

Never thought that you wanted to bring it down

I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in 

Over my head

Over my head

With eight seconds left in overtime

She's on your mind

She's on your mind
