One band that I have become obsessed with is The Script. The Script is made up of three soulful Irish men, who are into contemporary rock. They have come out with two albums The Script and Science & Faith, which have become quite successful in both the United Kingdom and the United States. In one song, you can feel compassion and joy, but in another you can feel vulnerable. They have powerful voices and touching lyrics, which helps connect with listeners. Whether they have an upbeat or slow song, every song is good. The band’s music is a lot like James Blunt. Blunt’s music is also very emotional just like The Script. One of his most popular songs is “Your Beautiful”, which is a very touching song like many of The Scripts songs are. Both Blunt and The Script had to struggle to get well known in the United States. People were hesitant on liking their music, but they both got millions of followers. Unlike The Script, Blunt got frustrated with how the fans reacted to his last album and wasn’t enjoying it. People thought he didn’t have as much inspiration than he used to. The Script is taking it day by day and enjoying every minute of it. The Script has been very successful. Probably the most well-known song is “Breakeven”; it was the first song that became popular on the radio and talks about a break up. This song is memorable and can relate to a lot of people. “I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing just prayed to a God that I don't believe in 'Cause I got time while she got freedom 'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven” those lyrics just show that they have been through some sort of heartbreak and I think that is why they are so popular. People like a song that they can relate to and that is what The Script has. Their recent album Science & Faith is one of my favorite albums and I love the song “Nothing”, it has so much meaning to it. I agree with what the critics, all I’ve seen is good things said and how they have become very successful. I think it is worth time and money to listen to The Script because they can relate to the listeners and have different types of songs, they aren’t all the same.
