The Fray - You Found Me

Genre: pop-rock

About the song:
"You Found Me" is the announced first single from piano-rock band The Fray taken from their upcoming eponymous second studio album.
In an interview, Isaac Slade expressed his meaning behind the lyrics of the song:
“You Found Me is a tough song for me. It's about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. [...] 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. [...] This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest.” Furthermore, in a Reuters article about the new album, Slade says that the lyrics for "You Found Me" were written two and a half years ago, and that the song is asking the question about why bad things happen to good people after some of their friends and family went through very tough times.
The video was shot with Josh Forbes as the director. There has been no official word on when the video will debut. It was confirmed by BBC Radio 1 that the song will be used to promote the fifth season of Lost.
