That 35 minute google
reveal hangout with The Script was AMAZING! I feel very overwhelmed. It revealed
the album cover, single name, and four 30 second samplers from the album.
I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for the new album. I literally cannot wait until 31st August for the single 'Superheroes' and 15 September for the album 'No Sound Without Silence'. It can't come soon enough.
The album cover speaks to me. It’s all about connections. It's quite science / space themed, something I'm obsessed with. The two people kissing, that closeness, that bond, it stands for something much bigger than us.
Some great chat from the lads about what music, the fans and the band means to them.
Glen: “For me genuinely,
our fans are our superheroes, my superheroes… it’s amazing the feedback we get
from the songs and how they are affected by them”
What Danny was saying
about how they write songs, when the lads can see something is bothering him
and they coax it out of him, and realise they are helping a friend but it’s
also a really great idea for a song. When you take a bad situation and try and
make something good out of it. Danny: “That’s probably most powerful thing
about music, and that’s why we got into music in the first place. It’s a place
for anger, a place for pain, a place for sadness; it’s also a place for
happiness and feeling elevated”.
The 30 second samplers are AMAZING.
Danny said he was excited, Mark said he was
nervous. Awww bless Mark.
‘Superheroes’.
Superheroes is really
great. A signature script song. The very end of the 30 second sampler sounds
like it's gonna have another signature stamp from mark on it. EXCITED to hear
the full song on Monday.
'No Good In Goodbye'.
Danny's voice on this
song is LOVE.
What Danny said about
this song: "There is no good in goodbye, no fair in fair well, no nice in
nice try”. He’s right you know.
‘The Energy Never Dies’.
"24/7, maybe 365..
When you know your days are numbered and you’re looking in my eyes, well it’s
ok, because the energy never dies”. "i've got my eyes closed, as long as the wind blows..."
Danny spoke of this song
from the perspective of someone looking at someone who doesn’t have long left
and how that energy is just transferred until one day the meet again in the
next life. Mark spoke of it as how that energy from gigs never dies, they try
and bottle it after the gig and pour it into the album. Both great
perspectives. Not sure if this one is gonna be the new ‘good ol' days’ or the
new ‘if you could see me now’. Time will tell. It made me emotional. Kinda big
sounding, Coldplay esque.
'Man on a wire'.
'Man on a wire'.
“I’m walking a tightrope,
my heart is in my throat, and I’m counting on high hopes to get me over you”
A massive song. A total
ANTHEM. It's so beautiful I love it so much. I think this is my favourite of
the samplers.
An absolutely amazing google hangout. This band is really really special. I feel emotional. I feel very blessed to have been at my laptop today to see the google hangout streamed live. I love this band so much, because they put their heart and souls into the music. Every single song is a story. And it's portrayed with such emotion. I miss you boys. Glad to have you back. Bring on the pre-ordering.
I’m so excited for the
single, album, tour... The journey begins.
I'm so excited as well, great summary of the announcement by the way, we were spoilt really :)
ReplyDeleteWhat else do you have to say about the cover? I was thinking it had something to do with breathing life into their music - this album is really infused with their Irish rhythms and culture. (i.e Paint the Town Green which is such a good song :D) Thoughts?
