Discography
Tales Don't Tell Themselves is the third album by Funeral for a Friend. It was released on May 14, 2007. During the recording of the album, Matt Davies used the same microphone he used to record the group's debut album Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation. Matt plays guitar on several of the songs, this is the first album in which he will do so.
Matt has mentioned that it is a concept album - “David is a Fisherman who is captain of a boat that regularly trawls the deep waters, he comes from a small fishing town on the coast where his wife Eleanor and daughter Isabelle await his return, but a huge storm is quickly approaching it hits the town and and then batters David's boat and leaves him shipwrecked in the middle of the ocean as the only survivor. He spends days adrift going crazy and delirious wondering if he will ever see his family again, meanwhile the towns people fear that the fishermen are all dead, the coast guards rescue attempts have failed to recover any survivors. David becomes so delirious his life flashes before his eyes (he guides his younger self through his life as a blackbird) he eventually hits land and snaps out of his delusion. He is scared of the waters and the colossal waves and power that killed his crew but he decides that doing nothing to get back to Eleanor and Isabelle is a cowardly way out so he decides to build a small raft and brave the elements once again, this time he is found by a lifeboat and reunited with his family. The End. Basically, Cast Away meets The Perfect Storm, it has a lot to do with my own personal fears of the ocean and coming to terms with that through the story."

The album was released through Atlantic and Ferret Records. The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Terry Date, with co-production by the band. Hours is notable for finding Funeral for a Friend showcase its more melodic side, as there is noticably less screaming on the album as a whole. Many early fans were finally alienated by this album, however, and the band's fanbase is now mostly comprised of teenage emo fans rather than the somewhat older, more underground, hardcore crowd that the band initially attracted.
