Description

Debut album from young Dublin indie pop act inspired by soul, classic singer-songwriters and American radio rock. Theirsoulful, emotional songwriting recalls the lyrical storytelling of Irish greats such as Christy Moore and U2, but with a strictly ultramodern aesthetic that coats the songs in glittering production values. Includes the singles 'We Cry' and'The Man Who Can't Be Moved'.

Album Review :

by Lauren Murphy

If ex-boyband members are a sticking point for you, you may as well stop reading now. If, however, you're open to the possibility that folk change, develop their abilities and mature as people and songwriters over the course of a decade, you may well be interested in The Script.

It's true that two of the three Dubliners kick-started their career in late '90s boyband MyTown, but Mark Sheehan and Danny O'Donoghue subsequently put the memory of their pop flop behind them, moved to Los Angeles and both gained studio experience in production, writing and session work, working with the likes of BLACKstreet's Teddy Riley and Pharrell Williams.

It's no surprise, then, that The Script sound nothing like the tinny, tacky, embarrassing pop acts that Ireland is notorious for churning out; theirs is a robust, glossy, super-Americanised soun, steeped in experience and an awareness of what appeals to the masses.

And masses of sales are an inevitability for this album: the initial singles, We Cry and The Man Who Can't Be Moved are ultra-radio-friendly, slick and undeniably catchy numbers, as is the piano-infused, Dublin-referencing Before the Worst and the bouncy, uptempo, street-flavoured Rusty Halo.

True, the lyrics are occasionally mawkish (see The Man Who Can't Be Moved's awful line "There are no holes in his shoes / But a big hole in his world"), the tone a bit too sentimental at times, and if you're not a fan of Maroon 5 and their ilk, you'll dismiss this album immediately. Yet even the most stubborn of music snobs can't deny that this is world-beating pop music - a world which The Script are surely on their way to conquering.

The Script - We Cry lyrics

Together we cry...
Together we cry…

Jenny was poor girl living in a rich world
Named her baby hope when he was just fourteen
She was hoping for a better world for this little girl
But the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree
Well she gets that call hope’s too far gone
Her baby’s on the way but nothing left inside
Together we cry!

What about the junk head could have gone the whole way
Lighting up the stage trying to get a deal
Now he’s lighting up the wrong way
“something for the pain!”
Man you wanna see this kid he was so fuckin’ unreal
When he gets that call he’s too far gone
To get it together to sing one song hey won’t hear tonight
The words of a lullaby

Together we cry…
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Together we cry…
Whoah oh whoah oh whoah
Together we cry…
Oh we cry we cry we cry
Together we cry.
Oh oh…

Oh…Mary’s ambitious she wanna to be a politician
She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she’d be the one to change the world
Always trying to pave the way for a woman in a… man’s world
Life happened, house, kids, 2 cars, husband hits tha jar,
Cheques that don’t go very far now
Now she in it can’t change it, she keeps her mind on her wages
The only rattling cages!

Ohhh…
Together we cry
Together we cry

There’s so much sad wanna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from the world exploding
Together we cry.
Oh we cry
Oh we cry…

There comes a time when every bird has to fly
At some point every rose has to die
It’s hard to let your children go home
Where they go?
Who knows!
Getting drunk
Getting stoned
All alone
Teach a man to fish
You’ll feed him never lie
You show your kids the truth hope they never lie
Instead of reading in a letter that they’ve gone to something better
“Bet your sorry now! I won’t be coming home tonight”
I’m sick of looking for those heroes in the sky
To teach us how to fly
Together we cry

Together we cry…
Together we cry…
Waoooo
Yeahh…
So much sad wanna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from the world exploding
Together we cry…
Oh…
Yeah…

Together we cry, cry…
Together we cry
