Keane are an English alternative rock band
from Battle, East
Sussex, formed in 1995. The band currently
comprises Tom Chaplin (lead
vocals, electric/acoustic guitar), Tim Rice-Oxley (piano, synthesisers, bass guitar, backing vocals), Richard
Hughes (drums, percussion, backing vocals),
and Jesse Quin (bass
guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, backing vocals). Their original line-up
included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott,
who left in 2001.
Keane achieved mainstream, international
success with the release of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, in
2004. Topping the UK charts, the album won the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Album and was the second best-selling British album of 2004. It is one of
the best-selling albums in UK chart history.
Their second album, Under the Iron Sea,
released in 2006, topped the UK album charts and debuted at number four on the
US Billboard 200. Their
third album, Perfect
Symmetry, was released in October 2008.
In May 2008, both Hopes and Fears (number 13)
and Under the Iron Sea (number 8) were voted by readers of Q magazine as
among the best British albums ever, with Keane, The Beatles, Oasis and Radiohead the only
artists having two albums in the top 20. In 2009, Hopes and Fears was listed as
the ninth best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the UK. Their EP, Night Train,
was released in May 2010. Their fourth studio album, Strangeland,
was released in May 2012, and peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart.
Keane are known for using keyboards as the
lead instrument instead of guitars,
differentiating them from most other rock bands. The inclusion of a distorted
piano effect in 2006 and various synthesisers were a common feature in their
music which developed on the second and third albums. Keane have sold over 13
million records worldwide.
The band released their fifth studio álbum Cause and
Effect on 20 September 2019. It was announced on 6 June 2019
with the release of lead single "The Way I Feel".
I walked across an
empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh, simple thing,
where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a
fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh, simple thing,
where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a
minute why don't we go
Talking about that somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
(Somewhere only we
know)
Oh, simple thing,
where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a
minute why don't we go
Talking about that somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go
This could be the end
of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we
know?
Somewhere only we
know?
