youtube/watch?v=SGlkwKA-t_4&feature=kp Some strong language in parts but it is totally appropriate in the song. Remember - they are always with us. Love to everyone who needs it this week. For everyone who might be finding this weekend hard to cope with - this song full blast after reading the reason behind it. The script are one of my Favourite bands - only found them last year. This song finds the Script addressing the death of vocalist Danny ODonoghues father and both of Mark Sheehans parents. ODonoghues late father Shay, also a musician, died unexpectedly of a stomach aneurysm shortly after The Script formed in 2008, four months after Sheehan lost his mother. The guitarists dad passed away when he was aged just 14. That song is all about two grown men sitting down and dealing with things, ODonoghue told The Daily Mail: With that song, Mark and I left the realm of songwriters and began to bare our souls. Its not a look-at-me song. Its us wondering what our parents would think of us now. Theyd probably tell me I drink and smoke too much, but I think theyd also be proud. Sheehan told The Sun about the writing of the song: Were quite happy lads in real life but we just vent everything in our music, he said. We wear our hearts on our sleeves and put everything into our music. If You Could See Me Now is the first time weve rinsed ourselves that deeply, he continued. Theres been a lot bottled up and we felt there was a hole in the album and we werent being honest enough until this song. We really hit the whiskies one night, that was the catalyst. We were very emotional and wrote a song about this — Danny one end of the room, me at another. It was a tough one to write and I didnt want anyone to listen to it at first, if Im honest. But thats what were in music for — that honest emotion. Im so proud of that song. ODonoghue told The Independent how the pair went to opposite sides of the room they were in and started writing alternate verses: It was an incredibly hard song to write, he said. As soon as I started writing the lyrics, I started crying. Were men, were 30 years old, and theres not a lot of people out there that would be open enough to say it in the same way as The Script. That song was more important for Mark than it was for me because Im very open about my emotions, but hes not at all, so to hear him sum up in one verse what Ive been waiting for him to say to me was an incredible moment. That really is the power of music. Play Song
