Hide AdSunsets & Full Moons feels like a sequel to The Script’s much-loved debut album.
Both albums emerged from emotionally turbulent times: O’Donoghue lost his father around the time of the release of their debut.
And ten years later, he lost his mother as they worked on this album - with both his parents passing on Valentine’s Day.
Naturally the songs began to reflect the band’s own personal experiences - and those are themes sure to resonate with their fans, too.

Hide Ad“I think it’s the most poignant record we’ve ever made,” asserts O’Donoghue. “Our music was always about being together with the audience, and writing about your own feelings, and sharing them”.
“No frills, no production, just us playing as a band,” notes Sheehan. “It’s us doing what we do best.”
The overriding theme, concludes O’Donoghue, is simple. “No matter how deep and dark it gets, it’s going to be daylight again.”
The band have to date clocked up six billion streams, 30 million single sales, 10.8 million album sales, and more 12 million monthly Spotify listeners.
