The Script Keep Hope In "If You Ever Come Back"

The Script have released a music video for "If You Ever Come Back." This heart-rending tale of a love that once was, is the third single from Irish alternative rock band's recent No.1 sophomore album, "Science & Faith," which has an addictive blend of hip-hop rhythms, flowing melodies, sparkling hooks and poignant, story-spinning lyrics, with the lead singer Danny's mellifluous soulful vocals riding high over huge, anthemic choruses.
Suffering the aftermath of a bad breakup, your lover just break it off with you, and you can't seem to let go? This song is for you! "If You Ever Come Back," hints always leaving the door open for the possible return of a loved one. It's all about asking forgiveness and wanting another chance and just simply starting over. Once again beautiful lyrics, and great Song. This follow-up to the successful leading track "Nothing," will surely be another chart-stormer.
The pop rock song finds its protagonist retaining a secret hope that his lost love will return. In an interview with iVillage UK, Script member Glen Power was asked if they are a band of romantics. He replied: "The song's also reflective of us on the road, away from home and our families. But I do think creative people, in general, are romantic by nature." The Dublin trio impress once again with this heart-rending tale of love and loss, all the while showing that their hearts are as big as their choruses. Subtle hip hop inflections lend the lovelorn track a contemporary edge.
In the video, we watch the Irish outfit perform inside a circle of folding chairs representative of an alcoholics anonymous meeting or the like. This is intercut with the story of a woman being trapped in a world she can’t leave, but a loving stranger on the subway decides to step in and take her to a meeting to get help. The song is so touching on its own, and the accompanying video definitely does the lyrics justice.
