The Script,來自愛爾蘭的樂團,
這張同名專輯,大概是陣子以來聽過最順耳的一張專輯了。
主唱聲線有點像maroon5的Adam Levine,
整張專輯放入很多元素,搖滾、藍調、民謠、流行,卻混搭的很好。
想要告訴這世界的思想也很多元,
不是只有"yo~yah,you know what i mean~"
聽完歌曲,你不會只想記得旋律,你還會想要懂他們唱出的詞意。

這首The Man Who Can't Be Moved(直譯:搬不動的男人)
故事大概是敘述一個男人被愛傷害的很深,
但還是很蠢的願意等待那個女孩,
還怕女孩找不到他,死都不動的在第一次見面的地方等待。
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag. I'm not gonna move,
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,
Some try to hand me money they don't understand,
I'm not... broke I'm just a broken hearted man,
I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do,
How can I move on when I've been in love with you...
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you'd come back here to the place that we'd meet,
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

另外一首,we cry,道出不盡相同的不如意的人生,
大家都不如意,不如一起痛哭,一起接受,一起變積極的感覺,
頗為負面的歌詞,用 R&B 唱腔與編曲,卻讓你得到正面的力量,
這樣的鋪陳,讓這首歌讓我莫名的想到U2...
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
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!
There’s so much sad wanna flood the ocean
Were all in tears from the world exploding
Together 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
