"Somewhere Only We Know"
Keane
Hopes And Fears
Number of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 3
This song had to grow on me. I couldn't stand his voice at first, it was way too high and weird. But thanks to Barnes and Noble and their lack of in-store plays, I got to listen to this song at least twice a day for a good month. Two things helped me to enjoy this song more: seeing them perform it live (on TV) and actually listening to the lyrics.
It was a big deal when Keane first hit it big for them not having a guitar player and it's cool because as you listen to this song especially, you would swear there's a guitar in there if you didn't know better. It drives forward, never letting you get bored enough to turn it off or to skip to the next track. I can't help but imagine him singing this heartfelt poem to his (almost?) lost love and trying to salvage what may be left. This could be a twenty-something's anthem.
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
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
[break]
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
So 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
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
