Tunes & Tales: Science & Faith

I am an extremely loyal fan of The Script. I've bought and loved every single one of their albums, which I listen to obsessively on repeat because their melodies are beautiful and their lyrics are challenging and inspiring and clever. I've seen them live a total of four times now: first at Rumsey Playfield for the Science & Faith tour, then at Radio City Music Hall for the 3 tour, then at Nikon @ Jones Beach Theater for the One Republic Native Tour and most recently, at Hammerstein Ballroom for the No Sound Without Silence tour. I seriously admire these lads and their music, and I wanted to share a Tunes & Tales featuring their sophomore album Science & Faith.

VIBE: pop rock with a mix of ballads and beats

WHY: Read my fangirl paragraph above and that's enough explanation, I think.

TRY: Science and Faith is one of my all-time favorite songs.

You Won't Feel a Thing // Heart of Betrayal

I've been lied to, shamed

I have been disgraced

Been ex-communicated from every holy place [...]

When trouble thinks it's found us

The world falls down around us 

I promise baby you won't ever

You won't ever feel a thing

For the First Time // The Bourbon Kings

Sit talking up all night

Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah

We're smiling but we're close to tears

Even after all these years

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

For the first time

Nothing // Lover Mine

And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the words

And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred

So I, dialed her number and confessed to her

I'm still in love but all I heard

Was nothing

Science & Faith // Asunder

You won't find faith or hope down a telescope

You won't find heart and soul in the stars

You can break everything down to chemicals

But you can't explain a love like ours.

If You Ever Come Back // The Geography of You and Me

If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss

I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this

If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss

Oh just remember this, oh just remember this [...]

If you ever come back

There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on

And it will be just like you were never gone

Long Gone and Moved On // Forever, Interrupted

Cause I still don't know how to act

Don't know what to say

Still wear the scars like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

Cause you're long gone 

But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way

Still talk about you like it was yesterday

But you're long gone and moved on

Dead Man Walking // P.S. I Still Love You 

I see you standing there but you're already gone

I'm holding your hand but you're barely holding on

I'm kissing your lips but it just don't feel the same

Am I dead there now, left living with the blame

This = Love // The Queen of the Tearling

Love is why we do it

Love is worth the pain

Love is why we fall down

And get back up again

Love is where the heart lies

Love is from above

Love is this, this is love

Exit Wounds // Days of Blood and Starlight

And I hurt so bad, that I search my skin

For the entry point, where love went in

And ricocheted and bounced around

And left a hole when you walked out, yeah

Walk Away // Yours Until Dawn

Cause when you're in too deep you wake up when it's too late,

You've fallen in love in the worst way

And if you don't go now then you'll stay

Cause I'll never let you leave, never let you breathe

Cause if you're looking for heaven, baby it sure as hell ain't me

Bullet from a Gun // Ruin and Rising

Now she's showing me mercy as much as she can

She's letting me live with my demons

See her washing her hands as she's walking away

Oh but still she looks back, she looks back

But she's leaving, she's leaving
