60 Songs That Explain the '90s

“How to Save a Life”—The Fray


Listen Later

This week, Rob examines the hallowed art of employing songs within the soundtrack of a crucial TV scene to emotionally manipulate the viewing audience. Along the way, he evokes classic moments from ‘General Hospital’ , 'ER', and ‘Scrubs’ before ultimately expounding on the highly effective use of the Fray’s “How to Save a Life” in ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to tug on the proverbial heart strings. He’s then joined by The Ringer’s own Yasi Salek to shine a light on how the Fray’s hit song shaped her experiences while watching the dramatic events unfold at the fictional Seattle Grace Hospital.

Host: Rob Harvilla
Guest: Yasi Salek
Producers: Chris Sutton, Jonathan Kermah, Olivia Crerie, and Justin Sayles
