Keane And K'naan

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

Keane wordt eind jaren 90 opgericht door Tim Rice-Oxley, Richard Hughes en zanger Tom Chaplin. De band kenmerkt zich door niet met een gitarist te werken. Dat wordt weer gedaan door de synthesizer waar Rice-Oxley mee werkt.

In 2004 verschijnt hun debuut album Hopes And Fears. In Engeland stoomt het album door naar de eerste plaats en ook in Nederland gaat het goed en behaald het album de derde plaats. Hits van het album zijn Somewhere Only We Know, Everybody's Changing, Bedshaped en This Is The Last Time.

In 2006 laat zanger Tom Chaplin zich opnemen in een kliniek om van zijn drugsverslaving af te komen. Dat jaar verschijnt het tweede album Under The Iron Sea. Album nummer 3 Perfect Symmetry verschijnt in 2008. Rond die tijd scoort de band niet veel hits meer. Er volgen nog de EP Night Train, het album Strangeland en de verzamelaar The Very Best Of Keane. Chaplin gaat solo en het wordt stil rond de band.

In 2019 wordt de stilte doorbroken als de groep terugkeert met The Way I Feel. Ook is Keane dan weer te zien op het podium waarbij ze in september onder meer in Scheveningen spelen tijdens Live On The Beach. Twee weken na die show verschijnt er met Cause & Effect een nieuw album van de band.

Songtekst

Some days, feels my soul has left my body

Feel I'm floating high above me

Like I'm looking down upon me

Start sinking, everytime I get to thinking
It's easier to keep on moving
Never stop to let the truth in

Sometimes I feel like it's all been done
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one
Sometimes I wanna change everything I've ever done
Too tired to fight and yet too scared to run

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe

I feel like I'm a thief who has no faith
Maybe more than by the grade
Of the drugs you took that day

Sinking in the pain he's been inflicting
Yet he's feeling like the victim
Just a horoscope's to blame

Sometimes I feel like a little lost child
Sometimes I feel like the chosen one
Sometimes I wanna shout out 'til everything goes quiet
Sometimes I wonder why I was ever born

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things really I don't wanna know
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm child and so wherever you go
I will follow

(rap)
One... yeah...
And baby you are just beautiful from crown to your cuticles
You held down my two sons, you never frown when duty calls
You know me, I gave you more than you can handle
But you still keep a handle on it,
even when I take something beautiful and vandal on it
No more females? Well how come my emails got notes on a scandal
It's like Eve with the apple,
A priest in the chapel
Overcome by the devil's tackle
I'm still shackling the bad til I know
I'm such a hassle every time I let my thoughts go
I get baffled so I hardly pause
I just crossed seas with these gnarly broads
Cos it hurts me just to see what I finally lost
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane

And if I stop for a minute
I think about things I really don't wanna know
So I guess I'm just a fiend
Consumed by the scene
And I'm the first to admit it
Without you I'm a liner stranded in an ice floe
The stage and the screens
Where it's just me and Keane
