We know this one may provoke strong reactions, and that’s exactly why we’d love to hear yours. Does it resonate, frustrate, challenge, or unsettle you? Please leave a comment and share your thoughts - conversation is part of what this song is here to start.

This song is born out of that familiar, gut-twisting feeling of absorbing too much bad news - when statistics lose their meaning, empathy gets overwhelmed, and the human cost becomes impossible to process. It wrestles openly with contradiction: compassion alongside cruelty, love for animals beside violence toward them, the desire to be good in a world that often rewards indifference. Angry, uneasy, and uncomfortably self-aware, this track doesn’t offer easy answers - it holds up a mirror and asks us to sit with what we see.

Lately,
.....hearing the news
..........makes me feel like
I'm chewing a wasp.
I try to calculate
.....the human cost,
..........how many lives have been lost.
But the non-stop numbers
go beyond all human understanding.
I find I'm landing on
.....impossible squares.
There seems to be nowhere
.....on this cruel planet
where there isn't a human gannet
being rude, stealing your food.
The wars of survival
.....are relentless.
And I'm trying to be good.
I'm trying to be a good person.
But it seems I make matters worse.
I get cursed when I protest
.....about the bad things we do.
Nobody wants to be reminded
.....how horribly unkind they are.

*

They love cats.
.....They love dogs.
..........They love eating cows,
love spit-roasting hogs.
The contradictions
.....make fictions of their loves.
.....Our horses
are seldom made main courses.
Most of us are hawks.
We could never ever be doves.
We cover things up.
We bury the inconvenient facts.

It's a fat fact.

Our new album ‘Satellites’ - out now 📡
‘At Your Feet’ - single out now!

The Script’s gift for writing songs rich with heady emotions and ever bigger melodies has enamoured fans all over the world, leading to a catalogue of global hits such as ‘Hall of Fame’, ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’, ‘Superheroes’ and ‘Breakeven’. But following the tragic loss of founder member Mark Sheehan in 2023, his bandmates Danny O’Donoghue and Glen Power vowed that the best way to pay tribute to him would be to continue the band they had built together and reconnect with The Script’s worldwide family.

Returning with their upcoming album ‘Satellites’, The Script have made a life-affirming record, bringing a fiery new energy to their anthemic, arena-filling sound. The Script prove that there can be new horizons and light after the darkness.

2024 will see The Script tour internationally as special guests to P!NK before they add to a career total of 4 million ticket sales by embarking upon a huge UK and European headline arena tour in November. Having already achieved so much - 10 billion streams, 12 million album sales, 6 UK #1 albums - an exciting new chapter in The Script’s journey is underway, and the possibilities are endless.
