I have worked closely with the band over the years on three of four studio albums, including the 2005 debut How to Save a Life and 2009's follow-up, The Fray.
The Fray were formed in Denver, Colorado in 2002 by classmates Isaac Slade and Joe King. Their talented songwriting put them on the global stage very early in their careers with the release of their debut record, How to Save a Life, in 2005.

Hello! Thanks for watching! Is there a song you'd like us to featured on an episode of "Inside The Song?" Let me know below!
More Fray!!
Any song in Jeff Buckley-Grace album
Haha thanks@@darlenesheffield9835!
That would be amazing@@SlashnKashmir!
Fantastic@Adam Bendelow!
Man who thought of that guitar riff when the beat dropped at the point where Isaac said “where were you”? That is so catchy and I love it!
This whole album by The Fray meant so incredibly much to me as a little 12-13 year old kid, it instantly brings back so many memories, its crazy how 10 years later everything has come full circle and now I'm watching the engineer of one of my favourite albums giving a peak into the magic they created. Thank you, Warren Huart :)
Wow! That's fantastic to hear Simon! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
This song means a lot to me, not only for what it is but also because they used it for the TV show LOST which I Love dearly.
This track is songwriting perfection. Every element of "You Found Me" is what a songwriter needs to strive for. I'm so glad my wife turned me on to The Fray. Amazing writing.
Wow! Thanks ever so much
I miss music like this and productions like this. People have gotten so stuck on what is easiest and what will give them the most option during mix. I paint myself into corners all the time. If I am stuck, then I re record. This style of productions brings the soul to the music. Nice work Warren!
Just goes to show there’s no replacing good musicians. Even the raw mix sounded amazing!
Dylan Dolby thanks ever so much!! Yes, agreed! Great performances!!
I grew up listening to The Fray, and I absolutely love this song. Can't wait to come home to watch this from start to finish!
Marvellous H of the Stage! Leave a comment and let me know when you finish watching!!
@@Producelikeapro Will do, I can't wait
@@Producelikeapro This will be a longer comment.
Man, I can't thank you enough for this video, it's the best thing I ever saw on youtube (the best thing I saw period). I loved The Fray since the first time I heard How to save a life, which has been the anthem of my life since forever, and it's also the first video I posted on youtube, me playing and singing the song when I went to Norway once with my high school, when I was about 15 years I think (so about 10 years ago) - you can chech it out, it's still up. I'm from Mostar, which is a small town in Bosnia and Herzegovina, so traveling to Norway was a big thing in my life, and it kinda made me want to follow my passion for music even more, since I had a chance to perform there. That night I even got this pseudonim H of The Stage, since people there couldn't pronounce my name, they called me H, and this one guy said after I played the song, dude, you're like H of The Stage, so I kept it since that night (my name is Hrvoje Merdžo btw, good luck saying that :D)
I hear you saying how much the lyrics mean and I couldn't agree more, How to save a life, you found me, we build then we break, vienna, say when, look after you... all life-saver songs. I've listened to every single song of the band, but those 2 first albums are out of this world, and I love the raw sound of them. It feels like you're in the room with them when you listen. When you played the song from the begining I was amazed just how well it sounds without any effects basicaly. They really made an effort to play everything live. Isac vocals are like no other, some people say we sound a like, maybe not by the colour of the voice that much, but we have a simmilar singing style. I found a lot of inspiration in the way this band sounds when writting my own songs since I'm also a pianist, singer and a song writter. I put my heart in my lyrics, and the music is there to make the lyrics come alive, so I'm basically a story teller who uses music to make the stories come alive. I've learned a lot from The Fray, a lot of good life lessons, but as a musician I really understood what it means to be a band. I watched a documentary about their tours, I think it was called ''Fair fight'', and they are like a family, which can be heard in the way they play and go about writing a perfect song.
Even though I've listened to You found me a million times, and played it with my brother, I've never noticed the Clavinet part or I just taught it was a guitar. The back vocals are epic in the bridge. Love the drum fills, and love the second verse rhythm sooo much. I've always noticed the difference between the first and the second verse and just thought, man, that was really well invented. Usually the second verse just has a new instrument melody to fill it up and make it different but no, this just had amazing drums, bass and the way that hihat rings (always loved that). As much as I respect and love the piano sound, I absolutely adore the guitar sound in this one. It's sick, and it brings the pain of the vocal and lyrics to the whole new level. I mean, Warren, I could write about this a whole day and it wouldn't be enough. I love the song, love The Fray, love you for doing this video and for recording the song in the first place. I can honestly say I had some really dark times and these songs really helped me through them. Now I'm in a really better place, I record my songs, I teach singing and piano, I'm getting married in July wuuhuu, and I'm a complete person (that doesn't mean I can stop learning and growing), and a lot of it has to do with this song particulary, as well as how to save a life. I know you've recorded a lot of songs for a lot of big artist, but man, I maybe wouldn't be here at all, and wouldn't write this comment if you haven't recorded these ones, and I think that's the biggest award you can get in life, no bs. Thank you for this, sorry for the huge comment and for being a little too honest, but I really mean it. These songs are lifesavers, and so are you as well as the whole band. Have a marvellous life man, you deserve it!
What we've all been waiting for, thank you Warren!
There's much more to come my friend!!!
Beautiful organic drum sound, I’ve died and gone to heaven 😲AWESOME!!! Thank you Warren😎
Wow!! Thanks ever so much my friend!!
I’ve loved this whole “inside” series, but this is definitely one of my favorite. Fantastic to hear such in depth explanations and how you applied certain techniques in a major session. Thanks for this!
The Fray's final show tonight in Chicago. What a great band and thank you so much for showing us the process. They were great songwriters, and I love the creative layers!!
Crazy! They were great songwriters!
I stayed up way too late watching this, and only made it halfway, but don’t want to stop!
I didn’t realize you did the Fray’s stuff, but I’m glad you did. It feels like such a privilege to get to have their song dissected by the one who recorded it. I feel like I’m learning so much more.
Absolutely appreciate it!
I think 2020 (or sooner if possible) is ready for..... How To Save A Life.
I remember listening to the song for the first time on Scrubs and cried. That. Same. Day, I learned it on piano and guitar in it's entirety and have not stopped playing it ever since. I know I'm ready for that breakdown. It would be one episode to remember that's for sure.
THANK YOU Warren, for everything you've done for us all!
Big Like! My wife turned me on to The Fray, an amazing band with exceptional songwriting.
These breakdown videos are absolutely fascinating. I've watched them all now. The fact that you have the engineer/producer sit in with you makes it infinitely enjoyable. The inside stories are the best. Bradley Cook listening intensely to his drum recordings is the best!!
Thanks ever so much my friend! Yes, I didn't want to make any false assumptions on how the song was recorded!
you're an unbelievable inspiration to me my man, the detail and precision in everything you do is just on another level.
Tbh. Thanks ever so much my friend!!
This is truly one of the best series on TH-cam. I love the breakdowns. I love hearing the stems, and the isolated tracks. Please keep these going.
The raw tracks sound bloody amazing! One of my favourite tracks of theirs. Thanks for sharing this breakdown Warren!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this and for everything you do Warren!
Thanks ever so much my friend!!
39:44 I cannot express how much i like this moment.
You are amazing Warren. A producer that not only hears the "mistake" but acknowledge the fact that; The performance is more important than the perfection.
For me that makes me think there is still hope that producers wants to make music and not just money.
Music should never be perfect. Music should be human.
-I love it!
Best Regards Thomas
I love that drum sound, they sound real. They sound good live too.
I couldn't agree more about the drum dial. I use one myself and it's absolutely brilliant for checking and noting down the tension.
Great stuff George!! The Drum Dial is an amazing tool!
Incredible. I have been teaching this song on guitar to at least 25 people since 2014. With this close look at every single part I could have done a much better transcription of it all along. I will do now. Thanks Warren!
That's amazing to hear my friend!!
This video is one of my favorites and there’re all good and hard to beat on this channel.
Best combination of gear and philosophy.
If every young engineer and producer watches this, we we’ll have a lot of good music in future.
Thanks ever so much Johnny!!
I’m so glad this exists. I love this song so much ❤️
Thanks ever so much!
This episode is so epic!! its amazing to hear a song broken down that you've heard hundreds of times, on hundreds of speakers !!!! you captured such amazing tones and performances!! and the fact you know what mics and preamps were used is also EPIC!!
I've been waiting to hear this!!!!!!! OMG! Amazing 🙏
🙏🙏🙏
Amazing how important is to match the energy of band and engineer. They were happy to have you as another member of their band. You as well happy to work with talented musicians. I can see your excitement when you are talking about capturing performances. Love this band and HAT DOWN for your work. Bless you Warren.
Thanks Warren. I learn so much every day from you in the Academy. My writing, producing, and mixing are progressing by leaps and bounds. Love your work and thank you for sharing so much knowledge. Bill
Every time I watch your videos, I get an idea to try in a song I'm working on where I'm stuck saying "something is missing in that section" - Thanks so much! What an amazing job you did on that song!! A masterpiece!!
Oh my! You did that? That‘s amazing. I love that song! The fray is bloody brilliant.
As a guitarist I don't often listen to piano driven bands but when I do I'm always immediately envious of how much the guitarists in bands like these get to just create color and add atmosphere. But as an early Verve, RADIOHEAD, Circa Survive, Brian Eno etc etc fan I like atmosphere in music as opposed to wall to wall solos. : )- Really dig your channel dude!
I loved/love this song. Brings back memories of broken heart, happiness and working as a builder on a site on Australia's Gold Coast, with the hottest customer I had ever had, and to my amazement she pounced on me and I had the greatest couple of months long fling i've ever had. This song brings it all back
Haha nice Chris! Please check out mat latest video on The Fray's "never Say Never'! There is not only a ton of blend but the piano bleed in the drum track is in the WRONG KEY!! th-cam.com/video/imIV9GUaMys/w-d-xo.html
This one of my favourite songs to “try” and sing along too. It was great learning about the extra keys. I always wondered how they pulled off that swing vibe. Amazing.
Thanks ever so much Ryan!!
Need more of this Warren. So much to learn off this beautiful song!! ❤️
this album is amazing. i got about 6 minutes into the video and had to pause to go buy it on vinyl. growing up it was one of my favorite albums and its so cool to be able to get a behind the scenes picture of recording it. looking forward to more videos like this
5:02 - great track - love that guitar moving in the background!
You really can't compare this band to anyone else they are magnificent.
That's very kind of you my friend!
This is absolutely amazing. Best education money can't buy. I'm soaking up everything you're saying and will watch it many more times. Thank you so much, your work and videos are highly appreciated.
You're very kind Jono! I really appreciate it!
Loving these inside the song videos. Loads of folks have done these types of things, and they’re alright, but I really love the way you’re doing it. Thank you!
Thanks ever so much Richard!!
That really means a lot my friend!!
This was one of my favourite songs growing up, I can’t believe you recorded it! That makes me love u even more 💙
first comment! Thanks for all you do Warren.....from a springlike London...finally!
Julian Davies wonderful!! Thanks my friend!
Amazing video. I would have listened to you for a few more hours as you talk about the recording. It's so great to see how the passion comes back to you when you recall the recording session. Wonderful. Thank you ever so much, Warren.
How much talent!! Thanks for this kind of videos and lessons🤘🏻
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Fantastic song! I'd heard it, of course, but didn't know it was The Fray. Great production, Warren. Thanks for everything :)
Congrats Warren to that "natural" mentality of producing, with no annoying editing and tuning, Music has been murdered for the last decade due to over tooling editing tools. A real "devoid" of life.
"Don't be afraid to use real human beings."
haha yes!! Indeed!
Hats off for great taste in pianos! Mason & Hamlin is my most-favorite builder. FYI: 150 years ago, there were over 200 piano factories in America; today, there's only one! Mason & Hamlin! Given a choice, most touring concert pianists choose Mason & Hamlin over Steinway. The Mason & Hamlin AA grand is a thing of beauty! Sonority, power, touch . . . all that! Any studio should covet one of these instruments.
Great stuff Warren! Glad to see YOU doing one of these...excellent material!!! All of these "Inside" series are outstanding!
Don't know where your faith is Warren but if I was in your seat I would have thought I went to church and has a worship experience for 9 months!!! This was Killer!!!!!!
Thanks ever so much Derek! I worked on two albums with The Fray, I''m sure that's a fairly good indication my friend!
Warren. Just thank you! Love seeing these videos. Your effortless, enthusiastic and true manner is untouchable on You Tube in the studio talk world. Please arrange a tour to the UK and do what you do on the screen here live! So fab to hear your stories about the sessions. Best, Marty
Thanks ever is much Marty for your kind words my friend!!
Saying it like it is Warren, no problem sir! Please do some James Blunt inside the mix vids too...if you have a sec! :-) cheers, Marty
Hi Warren thank you for doing this video, I remember when this song came out on radio and realizing that you are the one behind the production is such a inspiration to me. You are a true recording artist, and producer and always appreciate you taking the time to teach everyone your passion. Keep up the great videos and records!
Phenomenal!! Thank you so much for sharing these tracks/ideas/approaches with us Warren!! I love this song. 💖 👌 🙏
Thanks ever so much my friend!
YES! I was just watching the Blackhole Sun episode and was hoping that there would be one for one of the Fray songs you've done. Brilliant! Seriously, thank you for all you've taught us and the entertainment you've constantly provided.
Love this series. Really, really great job you did on that The Fray record. Still remember how I bought that album back then. Still went to school and was mostly into metal at that time! :)
I think we can't stress enough how great this video is! It is incredible and extremely valuable the knowledge and work ethic you drop on us young engineers! Thank you! I really liked that piano sound throughout an amp! It's really really cool and would love to see one day a short video on it? In the mean time, whenever I get to record one, I will defenetly experiment! Cheers from London
You are absolutely right,that s a real bass player. Also nice to see your enthousiasm in this episode.
Warren, detailing your vocal compression chain is PRICELESS! Stealing it!
Steal away my friend!!
Thanks a lot Warren for this AMAZING video!!! a lot of things to learn from here.
Any RCHP song would be amazing to be featured.
Best wishes!!!!
You can really tell the amount of work put into capturing this amazing song. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks ever so much Martin!!
My favorite video of your so far - I and I have watched pretty much all of them. Thanks!
Hi Mike!! Thanks ever so much!!
i love that you built in the sound...i would have love to seen it...seeing the care in the tracking and planing is pretty inspiring...please keep doing this
Thanks ever so much Kip!!
You can tell they played in church because the song writing has a lot of elements from worship music I think it connected with people in a spiritual way which in my opinion is the ultimate assignment music should have
Thanks ever so much for sharing that!
You are very humble about your own work, but it's excellent to hear you dig in and explain the details. Great video (and band!), thanks, Warren!
LOVE this! Been waiting for exactly this!
The Fray is an awesome band!
Thanks for sharing this, Warren!
I really love the series that you’re doing it really opens your eyes to recording and mixing please keep them coming
Thanks ever so much Ric! Please check out my latest video on The Fray's "never Say Never'! There is not only a ton of blend but the piano bleed in the drum track is in the WRONG KEY!! th-cam.com/video/imIV9GUaMys/w-d-xo.html
Superb video Warren! - enjoyed all of the inside the song vids but glad you've done one of the tracks you've worked on - that was awesome!
Learning so much from your channel, thank you very much - all the best : )
I’ve been watching this channel for years. As a younger engineer this song is one that I often go back to to re center myself. The first album I ever listened to both as a fan and ‘as an engineer’. Great stuff Warren. Made my day. Can’t thank you enough.
Ruairi Hanley aw shucks thanks ever so much my friend! That means a lot!
This was amazing Warren. You've got phenomenal ears and talent! As always thank you so much for sharing this. Much respect!
You're very kind!
@@ProducelikeaproBut it's TRUE. If I could I'd quit my crappy City job and become a full time engineer like you. Dont get me wrong the City job pays the bills but its definitely not my passion. You are very blessed my friend!
Great one Warren! Really shows the benefits of committing to sounds when recording. It makes the song easier to mix.
Yes, indeed Larry! Thanks ever so much!
thank you thanjk you thank you have a blessed day God bless
Thank you Warren, very interesting! And your enthusiasm for this recording is infectious! Very fun to watch!
Thank you for sharing this ☺ I'm such a big fan of The Fray and will always be.
Thank you so much Warren! We need more series like this one! Super amazing!
Thanks ever so much Alexey!
Fantastic video. When you're making a record completely on your own, this is the kind of stuff that keeps your head in the game and saves you from getting lost. Thank you
Thank you so much. This is how I have been imagining great music is made. Thanks for sharing so much of the story and process :-)
Such an awesome song, seeing how it's recorded is just adding more awesomeness! SO COOL!
One of the best things I have ever seen.
Your such an inspirational soul Warren! Thank you so much for the time and enthusiasm you give us mostly every day! I do have a question about maintaining phase coherence when recording drum rooms tho, and that is how do you measure your room mics to be in phase with your overheads? Do you have a method? Or do you just move them until their as close as you can get? Any tips would be great, cheers.
Thanks again for all your amazing insight.
I remember this song it reminds me of the early 2000s ... the lead singer has such a distinct voice... really cool vid warren !!!!!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Very nice video! I've been listening the song for a while now and I can hear how the person who mixed the recording maintains the freshness so well! Amazing.
Wow this song takes me back to my pre -teen/early teenage years when they would play this, how to save a life & over my head on MTV/VH1 in the morning before school. Awesome episode warren!
Lovely! Yes, those were great times!!
Awesome work Warren! I remember listening to this on repeat in high school
Hi Adam, thanks ever so much!
Saved. Can’t wait to watch this. It’s going to give me major nostalgia from when I interned at Epic Records around the time The Fray was working on this album.
Hi Jeff, you were? Did we meet? Who did you work for? Flynn?
That was the summer of 2006, I believe. Maybe I’m thinking of The Fray’s first album. I was mostly working for Farra Mathews in A&R but also helped out some Marketing folks. Names coming to mind are Lee Stimmel and Scott Greir (sp?). The project I spent the most time on that summer was Jessica Simpson custom cuts on her single A Public Affair - where we added background vocals to cut people’s names into the song. That was Charlie Walk’s idea. I had to listen to that song a few thousand times.
That is simply a beautiful video. Thank you so much for sharing all the details.
WOOOOOW I LOVE THAT SONGGGG!!!! I just discover this video on your channel hahah You made a great work! wow
Thanks ever so much
those guitars are surprisingly pretty when soloed with the piano like that ~46:00
Thanks Jamie!!
Warren, these are some of the greatest videos ever. Thank you very much for making them.
You are very kind my friend!!
love the Guitar delay being printed in the track!
Thanks ever so much my friend!
Funny you mentioned the 414 in the piano sound hole. I was recording at home base studio in Nyc in 1990 with my band and I was playing a piano part on their Steinway and the engineer took 2 87’s and buried them in 2 of the holes then squashed them with 1176 as I remember and said don’t ever do this but it was a great squashed percussive sound that served the song
“Inside the Song”is my favorite show on TH-cam.Wikipedia has You Found Me recorded in Seoul South Korea 🇰🇷.
Haha thanks Omar! That's interesting! I just checked and it says 'The Record Plant' and 'Suasalito'. Someone may have been messing around!
Hey 👋 Warren,All the Fray songs got a LOT of airplay in Indiana.They still do.
SAMPLING THE SAME DRUMMER WITH THE SAME SNARE ON THE SAME DAY WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE!?!? =| lol I'm seven minutes in and already feeling like I should be taking notes! Also, so far, from the unmixed version, I've never noticed how cool that pre-chorus guitar part is!
... And now at the end, how cool a FEW of the guitar parts are! lol Lots of great pieces in that puzzle. Thanks for posting as always!
I can’t tell you how incredibly useful it’s been to eavesdrop on the process...wait, sure I can...it’s been incredibly useful, and rekindles the excitement of making records. Thanks!
Wow! Thanks John! Please check out my latest video on The Fray's "never Say Never'! There is not only a ton of blend but the piano bleed in the drum track is in the WRONG KEY!! th-cam.com/video/imIV9GUaMys/w-d-xo.html
Produce Like A Pro ...piano in wrong key aka jazzzz.
I never noticed it, but when you said it, it clicked in my head: There are massive Counting Crows influences in The Frays songs. Its just that Adam Duritzs vocals are so unique you wouldnt nice it right away.
I really appreciate that you take the time and reply to your comments, much respect.
Aw shucks! Thanks ever so much
@@Producelikeapro No problem, and great work on production of this song, absolutely one of my favorites. Sounds magnificent.
@@dnastudios4925 thanks ever so much! It was so much fun to record!!
thanks for sharing all your knowledge god bless you warren
Thanks ever so much my friend!
This song saved my life
Amazing, this is a special one. Thanks Warren
