Sunsets & Full Moons - The Script

Sunsets & Full Moons is the sixth studio album by Irish rock trio The Script, released on 8 November 2019 through Sony Music Entertainment. It is supported by the lead single "The Last Time". The Script will embark on a European tour in 2021 in promotion of the album.

This album marks a turning point in the trio’s life they have all lost parents over the years some within the last few months and they have all had breakups of relationships in their past. They have all come through the darkness into the light. The Script have stripped all the bells and whistles that were on their previous album Freedom Child and gone back to the raw sound that they do best. I believe that this album will resonate to everybody who listens to it. Sunsets and Full Moons echo’s the band’s personal feelings that they want us to experience and relate to. Music is a powerful thing and Sunsets and Full Moons is one powerful album.

Perhaps one of the most powerful songs on the album is Run Through Walls. This is a song which O’Donoghue has openly said was written just a week after he and his family buried their mother (which was sadly also the anniversary of the burial of their father). It is a thank-you to the friends that were there for him in his darkest hour. He felt it was important to acknowledge them. It is an extremely emotional song that brought me to tears. It really shows a person who their true friends are when going through grief, certain people will just drop everything to be there for you no matter what. Those ‘friends won’t let you do stupid things’.
