The song, written by Danny and Mark and due for release through Sony Music Entertaiment Australia, was prompted by the band returning to Dublin on the back of their monumental success, only to be devastated that their friends’ fortunes had turned far bleaker due to Ireland’s economic crisis.

“People are getting stripped of everything,” says Danny, “stripped of their jobs and their homes and their furniture, so it’s going to back to an old thing of drinking cheap bottles of wine, having dinner on the floor, and it’s like they are meeting each other for the first time. It’s getting back to reality, you’re standing naked in front of this person. That notion really resonated with us. It set the tone for what we want to talk about, emotionally.”

The track was the inspirational key to The Script’s second album ‘Science & Faith’ - an addictive blend of hip hop rhythms, flowing melodies, sparkling hooks and poignant, story-spinning lyrics, with Danny’s mellifluous soulful vocals riding high over huge, anthemic choruses. Finding weighty, emotion-packed mini-epics came thick and fast, ‘Science And Faith’ is far from a difficult second album.

Featuring the hit singles ‘We Cry’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, and the #1 Australian airplay & Platinum selling smash hit, ‘Breakeven’ 2008’s ‘The Script’, went on to achieve Platinum status in Australia. In 2009 the trio were personally asked by Paul McCartney to support him at a number of US stadium shows.

The Script is Danny O’Donoghue (vocals/keys), Mark Sheehan (guitar) and Glen Power (drums).
Stay tuned on details for an upcoming Australian visit later this year!
