The Fray has been making you cry during your favorite dramatic TV show and movie scenes for over a decade, because their wistful melodies make for perfect soundtrack fodder. In 2005, the band released their debut album How To Save A Life, and the track of the same name found its way onto a 2006 Grey’s Anatomy episode. Soon, ABC used the song to market Grey’s Anatomy during commercials, and it became a must-listen hit, according to Hypable. But that’s not the only show the song’s been featured in. If you count up every time The Fray’s “How To Save A Life” was used on TV, it adds up to eight episodes over six different shows.
Now that The Fray’s second and self-titled album is hitting its 10-year anniversary on Feb. 3, it seems like an appropriate time to look back at one of the band’s biggest songs — and all the ways TV adapted it for their melodramatic needs.
