The Fray is releasing a new CD. I'm usually not on the cutting edge of music, but there's something different about the song You Found Me. (find it here).
Lead vocalist, Issac Slade puts it this way:
"You Found Me is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."
The place that the song describes touches something deep inside of me. Its a tough conversation with God, but that doesn't mean that it shouldn't happen. Because pain is real. People are hurt everyday. Emotionally, spiritually, physically. Hurt is happening right now. Pain is real. But hope is just as real. It's available. And once we find it, we make ask- like the song says- why'd you have to wait? Where were you? Just a little late. Here's to hoping your answers find a purpose for the pain.
