The Script

I can't be called a fan of The Script. I can't even be sure of how many members there are in the band, let alone naming them or listing down their albums. But after coming across their first single and then searching intently for their songs on YouTube, I realise the music world is desperate for this kind of artistes - those who write meaningful, creative lyrics rather than compose catchy tunes that shout about nothing, or worse, controversial stuff.

Never mind if The Script told tales too emotional and heartbreaking.

First Single

'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
Thinkin' maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving, I'm not moving

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name.

Maybe because they named themselves as The Script that they've become wired to write lyrics resembling a story. Or perhaps they know one of the only ways left to make a name in the entertainment world is to fill an intellectual void, to be intelligent, and soulfully real, among a growing number of no-brainers. Whatever it is that makes them unique, they might never be as rich, famous and celebrated as their more pompous peers. But they're definitely a testament to healthy, smart and realistic music.

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while ya
We're smiling but we're close tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

On a separate note, I would always listen to Boyce Avenue for their acoustic covers of pop songs. Their rendition of For The First Time is a splendid try.

Oh, there are 3 members in The Script! Realised that when I looked up videos for this post.
