The Fray really push their imagination in the music video for "Break Your Plans," the official second single from the American alternative rock band's latest album, "Helios." The guys of The Fray have been making music together for over a decade, and the band's frontman Isaac Slade has a way of pouring emotion into every song he sings. In "Break Your Heart," The Fray return to their The Fray-esque sounding piano ballads. The intimate performance was the perfect setting for Slade to showcase his trademark vocals, which sound as raw and real as ever as he elongates and emphasizes each note on the heartfelt track, "Break Your Plans."
How do you move on so fast? You meant to break up, maybe there was never any chance anyway. Maybe it's all gone. But wait! What if you don't? We can try again. Don't break up. Break your plans instead. The Fray "Break Your Plans" meaning is a second chance for love. It might seem your relationship would never work. It might seem like it could not last. But love doesn't depend on "fate." All that counts is what comes next. Why not try again? Slade does two things that men in tearing relationships often don't do: one, he stops being afraid to ask for healing and to state his feelings. Two, he doesn't promise it'll be easy. He admits there's no guarantee we'll make it. He just asks you to try.
The group delivers a moving, stripped-down performance that highlights the meaning of the lyrics, which tell of a desperate longing for a loved one to stay. "We wanted to capture the moment right before a couple parts ways, where everything is pointing to the split," Of the track, Slade notes, "and one of them suddenly gets this fire-almost out of nowhere. Maybe it's the feeling of the other just starting to leave, maybe it's a moment-in-time but suddenly there's fight left, and they go for it."
"Break Your Heart" is a moving ballad, as usual very well sung by Slade, and the clip, directed by Marcus Herring and Bill Fishman, is just as moving. Its plot, however, is "something different." And by the different, we mean CRAZY. A fisherman makes his way to the vast ocean on his boat for a day of laidback fishing. He gets his prize, but it's not a big fish... it's a SIREN. The two fall in love, go for a swim, kiss but suddenly, the good-looking fisherman starts feeling bad, and noticing scars in his body after checking him out in a mirror. The SIREN sees how her man falls into the water and turns into a SHARK. Oh, my, god.
