Days ago I downloaded a full, new album of The Script, Science & Faith. And guess what, I can't stop listening the entire songs till this minute (in fact, I'm typing this post while listening to them)! Great tunes, catchy but easy-to-understand lyrics, and absolutely killing chorus. The theme of this new album is still about love and woman through the man's perspective (because the vocalist is a male, so do the other personnels), mostly focusing on heartbreak suffered by the man's counterpart be it from the presence of another person or some gruesome arguments.
Because of that focus, sometimes I wonder if I've made a mistake by listening them. The lyrics, directly, or indirectly, portray the woman as a cruel being who has no understanding of what the man feels. Hello, in reality, it's the man who acts as the cruel being, not the opposite! What makes me more frustrated is that there're no new songs sung by a woman singer who is capable to counterattack this lyrics. Underline the word new. Some of them, like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift who have also released a new album in this quarter of year, mostly talk about the sweet memories of their high school years or the nice attitudes of their boyfriends. If only I'm a song-writer...
Back to the topic of The Script, I personally think that this album is perfect for the brokenhearted men as it gives you insight that there're men out there having the same bitter fate as yours. Women? If you do not care of being stabbed and appreciate great music and lyrics, just try it! Or just change the man's perspective into woman's perspective, will be more interesting that way.
