It only seems like yesterday that this band was just a segment on VH1's "You Oughta Know." Now, they've gotten their big break, and are playing stadiums around the world. This band from Dublin, Ireland knows how to perform, and the lead singer, Danny O'Donoghue, has a voice unlike anything I've ever heard before. The name of the band: The Script. Here are 5 of my favorite songs recorded by the band so far in their success.
1) Breakeven- Come on! It's the song that made them famous! "Breakeven" touched a lot of people, and the lyrics are passionate and powerful as O'Donoghue sings about a lost love that left him "still alive but barely breathing" and "praying to a god that I don't believe in." This is heartbreak at its best and most mainstream.
2) The Man Who Can't Be Moved- The second big hit by The Script, this is a song about standing your ground for the person you love the most. O'Donoghue tells us that rain or shine, he's not moving. It's an absolutely fantastic track.
3) Nothing- Off of their second major album, "Science And Faith," the symphonic guitar riffs, heavy drums, great lyrics, and an insane vocal by O'Donoghue make "Nothing" another flawless tearjerker.
4) For The First Time- O'Donoghue has said that this song is about Ireland's economic depression, but it translates to us as another lovely tune about a failing relationship that used to involve "drinking old cheap bottles of wine, sitting talking up all night, saying things we haven't for a while." People might think I'm crazy for saying this, but I think The Script might be this generation's Beatles.
5) This Is Love- The Script asks the big question: what is love? It certainly isn't the head-bopping club hit from the movie "A Night at the Roxbury." Instead, the band names all of the traits that make love what it is. Awesome lyrics, another killer vocal, and stunning drum work make this one a must-hear.
