The Script, Run Through Walls | Thankful Songs 🙏🎶

Reading Time: 2 min read

For the 9th Thankful Song , we highlight “Run Through Walls,” where Irish pop collective The Script are thankful for friends.

“I’ve got friends that will run through walls / I’ve got friends that will fly once called / When I’ve got nowhere left to go / And I need my heroes / I’ve got friends that will run through walls.” Sigh, that’s a beautifully penned, thoughtful chorus if I do say so myself The Script! Before we dig into this inspirational standout, let me remind you the premise of Thankful Songs ! On Thankful Songs , we highlight songs in which the musician (or musicians) show gratitude about something or towards someone. This idea came from the fact that in November, here in the United States of America, many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. So, what better way than to celebrate than select some awesome songs that exhibit gratitude? Our ninth entry comes from The Script with “Run Through Walls,” from the collective’s 2019 album, Sunsets & Full Moons.

“Run Through Walls” appears as the third track from the sixth studio album by Irish pop/rock collective. The Script are best known for hits like “Hall of Fame”, “Breakeven”, and “Superheroes”. Sunsets & Full Moons didn’t ignite the US charts, but at least we were blessed with “Run Through Walls,” which is quite personal and reflective throughout its course. Danny O’Donoghue speaks to the power of true friendship. On the first verse, while he asserts, “There’s no one born with X-Ray eyes.” He goes on to say, “But you always say the words that save my life.” On the second, he cites a specific event – “And that day my mother died” – to reference the power of real friends. “And you held me up and you wiped my eyes,” he sings, continuing, “It was in that moment when I realized.” Walls, indeed, have been broken down.
