The Script, 'For the First Time' -- Song Premiere

Dublin alternative rockers The Script release 'For the First Time' in the US, their lead single from their sophomore studio album 'Science & Faith.'

Over pulsing, electric rhythm guitar, Danny O'Donoghue sings about getting through the tumultuous recession, and the effect it has on our lives, and relationships. The hopeful message from all this, is that sometimes these events can bring people closer together: "Sit talking up all night / Saying things we haven't for a while, a while yeah / We're smiling but we're close to tears / Even after all these years."

This is one of 10 tracks from 'Science & Faith,' a concept album based on Ireland's current economic climate, and the social effects it has on everyone. "We got home [from tour] and realized there's a stark reality out there, the recession has hit, people are losing their jobs and their valuable things," O'Donoghue explained in an interview with Sydney radio station Nova 96.9. "We thought, this almost pales in comparison to our news."

'For the First Time' has already hit No. 1 on the Irish Singles chart, and follows their US charting singles, 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' and 'Breakeven.'
