As their passionate, dedicated fanbase know all too well, The Script also have that crucial thing: real, emotional, soul-deep connection. This is the animating, uniting idea at the heart of The User’s Guide To Being Human, what matters above all else in music, in life, in The Script. Because after all, “tell me what the hell we're doing if we're not human beings being human”.
