The Script honor everyday Superheroes in their new music video shot in Alexandra, Johannesburg. A Heartwarming song with an equally inspiring video.
Superheroes is the first single from their upcoming album No Sound Without Silence. Directed by Vaughan Arnell, the video celebrates the everyday heroes of the city and in particular a father on his workday.
The lyrics are beautiful: “When you’ve been fighting for it all your life / You’ve been struggling to make things right / That’s how a superhero learns to fly / Every day, every hour Turn the pain into power.”
Superheroes is a song full of hope and was one of the first tracks to be written for the new album – inspired by the highs the band experienced as they came off stage at the end of one of their sold out stadium shows in the US.
No Sound Without Silence, the bands fourth studio album, is actually the sound of the Script firing on all cylinders. It was written whilst the band were touring in 2013 – they used a specially built mobile recording studio. The tour lasted 11 months and they played to sold out audiences in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia – including two special shows at the O2 in London. As soon as thy finished touring they took a couple of weeks off and then hit the studios again in London and Dublin to finish the work.
The Script have achieved a huge amount of success globally, selling more than 20 million records – all three of their albums have gone multi-platinum worldwide. They have done particularly well in the US where they have sold over one million albums and have 5 platinum singles.
No Sound Without Silence is a phrase derived from an idea put forward by the band, lead vocalist Danny O’Donoghue said “The time we’ve been away touring, we’ve had time to contemplate about what we want to say to the (music) industry. There is no sound without silence. You can’t have anything good to say if you don’t think about it first”.
No Sound Without Silence will be released on September 12 in Ireland and September 15 in the UK by Columbia Records.
