The Script!

Hey guys! 

So a week ago tomorrow, I saw The Script live in New Zealand. If you went: WEREN’T THEY SO AMAZING!? 

If you didn’t here’s what I have to say on it. 

I went with my close friend Christine and we got there about half an hour before doors opened. The line wasn’t that long considering and when we got in we ended up THREE ROWS FROM THE FRONT. It was incredible! 

I feel I should talk about the support act, Brooke Duff. I hadn’t heard much of her stuff and she did a lot of covers but she’s was pretty good. I don’t normally get to excited about support acts unless I know and love their music before hand. 

She opened with a brilliant cover of Heart attack by Demi Lovato which I have had stuck in my head for the past three weeks and I love it. She did a few other things, including trying to get the audience to do The Harlem Shake. She then got some girls up on stage to dance while she did her most recent single Say to you which was pretty good. Overall she was a decent support but not my favourite from all the gigs I’ve been too (and I’ve been to a lot.) 

The Script opened with Good ol’ days which is one of my favourite songs from #3 and it really got the crowd pumping. Danny owned the stage and it was incredible!  

After that they did We Cry, Breakeven and Science and Faith, all brilliant songs. Then we get to The Man Who Can’t Be Moved, obviously this is their most well known song and Danny had the crowd sing the first verse acapella which sounded amazing. If you’ve seen The Script you will know what I’m talking about. 

During TMWCBM Danny really didn’t have to do any work as we did it for him. (Think The A-Team at an Ed Sheeran concert or Five Colours in Her Hair at a Mcfly gig.) 

The Script were pretty much living up to my expectations for what they would be like live. Then they did If You Could See Me Now and totally blew my mind. That song always makes me really emotional and when they did it I was so happy because it’s my favourite song they’ve ever done. Everything about the performance of IYCSMN was incredible. I don’t really have enough words to say how amazing it was. 

The setlist from there went like this: 
Before the Worst 
If You Ever Come Back (bloody incredible!) 
Talk You Down 
Nothing. 

Then we got to I’m Yours. I’ve loved this song for so long and when they did it I was over the moon. Danny explained the reason behind this song to us and when he did it was so full of emotion and just so beautiful.

Six Degrees of Separation came next and as you could expect it was amazing. I love this song and it was the first song off #3 that I listened to on repeat. It’s really the song that made me fall in love with The Script all over again. 

The last song was For The First Time and it was a great way to end the main setlist. 

The Encore was You Wont Feel A Thing and Hall Of Fame which were both incredible and a great way to finish the night on a high! 

If you haven’t seen The Script live, I definitely recommend it. Their energy is amazing, the passion they have for what they do is obvious and they’re just an all round incredible live act. 

I have nothing but praise for this band and I will 100% be going to see them again if they come back to New Zealand.
