The Script’s brand new music video for Man on a Wire is out! and tough love is what it’s all about. Shot in Cape Town, South Africa, lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue shows off his wire-walking skills, attempting to win back the love of his life. The one he is trying to get over, according to the song, because she’s bad for his health… Apart from that one mixed message, the song and video got the scary heights part on par with the lyrics,
The higher I get
The more I miss the ground
No safety nets
Now you’re not around
I have to keep walking
To keep me from falling down
Feels like I’m walkin’ on a tightrope
My heart is in my throat
I’m counting on high hopes to get me over you
The video was inspired by the French tightrope walker Philippe Petite who has his own famous documentary ‘Man on Wire.’ The song is their latest hit single, taken from their 4th album No Sound Without Silence.
In an interview with Metro, Danny shares what it was like filming; “We flew to Cape Town, we flew the director over from the USA, we secured a big budget and then suddenly it was the training day and I had to step off the building! It was so scary, everyone tells you not to look down but as soon as I stepped off I looked down. You can’t not look down. It doesn’t get any easier either, the wire is two inches in diameter and every step feels like the first step.’
Funnily enough, and ever so fitting, that his experience is a great way to describe having to get over somebody you loved. Just like in the song.
