On the 12th of April 2011, an Irish alt/rock trio came to Fort Canning Park and with songs of Dublin city, lost hope,fading and unfading love, gave a bunch of Singaporeans the time of their lives.
The sky had no stars in it as the band referenced the constellations, the field was muddy, and the rain kept pouring on.But something was very very special that night.
They called themselves The Script, and as the crowd sang along to them in mysteriously perfect key, and not a single stray note everyone there realized they had come across something truly magical and wonderful.
They were absolutely enthralling from the beginning, the only notes of dissent coming from the crowd were when the DJ played perhaps one song too many before the Irish came on stage.
When drummer Glen Power abandoned his drum set and came up to harmonize during the three guitar acoustic they played and as the crowd accompanied them, the atmosphere was absolutely electric as a few thousand people came together and united their hearts and minds with a single piece of music.
The songs were songs, lyrical genius engineered by Danny O'donoghue and Mark Sheehan.But the beauty of it was how they recreated the recordings live. With so much more heart. In the end, recordings are dead, but with crooner Danny among the crowd and letting his soul flow with it, the music was definitely richer. Deserving Grammy award winners for live performances
most definitely.
With only one backing member to help them produce the powerful soul-stirring music, The Script are really as complete as a trio can get.
It was awesome. Absoutely brilliantly awesome.
