I JUST FOUND OUT THAT KEANE WAS THE ORIGINAL COLDPLAY

i mean, they were called Coldplay until Tim Rice-Oxley gave the name to Chris Martin

what is going on with my life

[nanceoir]

This is one of my favorite live performances of Keane's "Perfect Symmetry," from Summer Sonic '09.

I love seeing the effort and concentration they put into this pitch-perfect performance.

Is this a safe space for me to talk about my British bias?

Songs that make you feel like you are the loneliest person in the world.

So I’m back from my first Keane gig, and it was sublime, if you cannot tell 🫠

It felt almost strange to go to a concert (small, intimate venue, too) in full rabid fan mode, and for it to not be Sparks for a change. Which made me think how long of a time it has been since I’ve been to a Sparks show, and miss them, too.

Somewhere Only We Know

Written By: Tim Rice-Oxley, Tom Chaplin & Richard Hughes

Artist: Keane

Released: 2004

“Somewhere Only We Know” is a song by English alternative rock band Keane, officially released as the lead single from their debut album Hopes and Fears. Keane lead vocalist Tim Rice-Oxley revealed in 2004 of the meaning of the song: “It’s about being able to draw strength from a place or experience you’ve shared with someone. I think it’s an idea a lot of people can relate to.”

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it 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? [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go? Ooh-aah, oh [Outro] 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

Cosmic Love

Written By: Isabella Summers & Florence Welch

Artist: Florence + the Machine

Released: 2009

“Cosmic Love” has an ethereal yet somber sound, connoting a seemingly light-hearted approach to a melancholy subject. Welch told The Sunday Times that the song illustrates how being in love means “you give yourself up to the dark, to being blind.” Florence also described about its creation on the band’s webpage: “ “Cosmic Love” was a joke title, but it stuck. The most hungover I’ve ever been when writing a song. I went to [Isabella Summers’s] studio after having been to a party, and I was lying on the floor wanting to vomit. We were working really hard on a song and just trying to make this sh*t piano part work, and all of a sudden I hit on one note, and I’d got it. We wrote the whole song in ten minutes.”

[Verse 1] A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them And now it's left me blind [Chorus] The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart [Verse 2] And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness So darkness I became [Chorus] The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart [Bridge] I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you [Chorus] The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart [Chorus] The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart
