Heart Beats & Flutters Once Again For 'No Good In Goodbye' Music Video By The Script

I know I am already late to deliver this one, but then again I am still so excited to share this new music video from The Script. It is because it features one of my favorite songs from the band's No Sound Without Silence album.

The wordplay in the lyrics, which is usual for this band, has bought me from start to end. Add a very heart-wrenching theme and topic and I am all hands down. And of course don;t forget the rhythm, the tune and the usual serving of "strange" musicality. "Strange" sounds -- the very reason why I loved this band even before they became mainstream (having a relative in Ireland helps, even I am from the Philippines) -- because returned to their homeland genre, which is very far away from the generic pop music.

And so when the new music video of the said song arrived, I was reborn once again and must fading heart started to beat it usual rhythm: dud-a-dubb, dud-a-dubb, dud-a-dubb...

Watch the new music video of No Good in Goodbye by The Script.


We all know that No Good in Goodbye is the first track in the No Sound Without Silence album -- the band's fourth -- by The Script. This 5-minute auditory bliss was written by Danny O'Donoghue (lead singer), Mark Sheehan (vocalist and guitarist), James Barry (one of the album's producer).

The band returns to their usual montage of staged "gig" moments with all the band members and gears present. It is interspersed by radiant light works or Cosmo effects, which we first gleaned on the No Sound Without Silence album cover, and some human add-ons and the singer's love-interest, that help represent each of us.

Go ahead and find the wordplays that make this song worthwhile for the ears and the brain... and so for the heart, too:

No Good in Goodbye by The Script

All the things that we've have lost 
breaking up comes at a cost 
I know I'll miss this mistake

Every word I try to choose 
either way I'm gonna lose 
can't take the ache from heartbreak

But as you walk away
you don’t hear me say

Where's the good in goodbye?
Where's the nice in nice try?
Where's the us in trust gone? 
Where's the soul in soldier on? 
Now I'm the low in lonely 
cos I don't own you only
I can take this mistake
but I can't take the ache from heartbreak
No I can't take the ache from heartbreak

No matter how it falls apart 
there's an art in breaking hearts 
but there is no fair in farewell

And when I see you in the street 
I pray to god you don't see 
the silent hell in I wish you well

But as you walk away
you don’t hear me say

Where's the good in goodbye?
Where's the nice in nice try?
Where's the us in trust gone? 
Where's the soul in soldier on? 
Now I'm the low in lonely 
cos I don't own you only
I can take this mistake
but I can't take the ache from heartbreak 
(take the ache, take the ache)
I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
No I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
(can't take the ache from heartbreak)

If I could turn back time 
then I would rewrite those lines

If I could turn back time 
then I would rewrite those lines

If I could turn back time 
I would rewrite those lines

If I could turn back time 
I would rewrite those lines, lines, lines

Where's the good in goodbye?
Where's the nice in nice try?
Where's the us in trust gone? 
Where's the soul in soldier on? 
Now I'm the low in lonely 
cos I don't own you only
I can take this mistake
but I can't take the ache from heartbreak 
(take the ache, take the ache)
I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
No I can't take the ache from heartbreak
(take the ache, take the ache)
(can't take the ache from heartbreak)

If I could turn back time 
then I would rewrite those lines

What do you think will come next from The Script?
