20. I’m Yours (The Script, 2008)
“The way Danny sings “I’m Yours” makes me cringe because it’s such a simple phrase but he has the ability to much so much emotion in it. Not only this phrase, but the whole song is also brilliant. I think that’s what loving people feel like, that’s what I feel like.”
19. Millionaires (#3, 2012)
“Most of the other songs above are cool too but millionaires are better than songs like exit wound or if you see kay and more… So I say that millionaires should be at no. 13 or something… Believe me, this is also a cool song… The script is awesome and actually, to tell the truth almost all of their songs are pretty…”
18. Glowing (#3, 2012)
“The lyrics are unbeatable, and they say so much. The background music is so touching, and the chorus just makes me want to sing along. This song is for sure their best work, and deserves to be in the number one spot.”
17. Good Ol’ Days (#3, 2012)
“Such an amazing song, one of the most upbeat songs that the script actually does, I am a massive fan of the script and this song really shows another side to Danny and the lads. Man who can’t be moved, talk you down, nothing… All amazing songs… In fact… They all are… But this JUST edges it for me on current choice.”

12. We Cry (We Cry, 2008)
“This song sympathizes with and accepts Today’s problem’s rather than pretending they don’t exist. Or preaching about change as if it’s that easy, we all know it’s never that easy. The world is not black and white. Not all questions are Yes or No questions. Getting off topic but the point is that they’re amazing and this song is amazing.”

7. If You Ever Come Back (Science & Faith, 2010)
“Just brilliant. The lyrics in this song are some of the best I’ve ever seen. The script are an amazing band not just for their music ability but also for what they can write. If you look up all the lyrics for all these songs they are just “great” and they get to your emotional side when you take it in. I hope the script carry on to make beautiful songs like this one, and to be honest the script really do have the best lyrics, especially for sad, painful songs like this that some people can relate to in their life.”

“This song tells how much Danny and Mark miss their parents, it’s so personal that I can feel the pain they’re feeling.

5. For the First Time (Science & Faith, 2010)
“This song changed my life. Absolutely beautiful. I will never forget the first time I heard this song, the state I was in, the feelings I was feeling.

4. Nothing (Science & Faith, 2010)

“Danny is probably one of the best writers out there, plus this song has a great tune and extremely catchy. I remember listening to it a couple of months ago; it’s been in my head ever since. I forgot it was the script’s song and I went searching for it like mad. When I found out it was by him I instantly became a fan. First ‘the man who can’t be moved’ then this. DEFINITELY his best song. Not only is it extremely catchy but it’s also got an amazing meaning”
2. Hall of Fame (#3, 2012)
“This song is so inspirational; it really shows you that you can do anything you want, if you put your head to it! I love how the lyrics are actually meaningful in contrast to the majority of pop songs nowadays… Amazing”
1. The Man Who Can’t Be Moved (The Script, 2008)
“All of The Script’s songs are carefully written and composed and you really get the emotion and heartfelt effort they put in to every one of them so it was hard to choose from all their masterpieces! I voted The Man Who Can’t Be Moved as my favorite song because it really speaks to me, imagine if a person loved you so much that they would wait at the corner of a street where you met until you came back to them! This song tells a story that I will never forget and this song will forever hold a place in my heart!”
