SILENCED BY THE NIGHT + LYRICS

Sorry guys for the post of 'Silenced by the night'. Unfortunately it was removed from my blog because of copyright stuff. I personally believe it is unfair, as you can see, some people have uploaded the complete song to youtube and their videos still remain there.

Anyways, if you would like to have the complete mp3 of the song just send me an email and I'll pass it to you for free :)

Meanwhile, enjoy one of those vids while you can sing with the help of the lyrics! ;)

LYRICS:

In a city like mine there’s no point in fighting
I close my eyes, see you and me driving.
If I am a river, you are the ocean
Got the radio on, got the wheels in motion

we were silenced by the night,
but you and I, we’re gonna rise again
divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then.

I lie in the dark, I feel I’m falling
Feel your hand on my back here, your voice calling
I’m out of my depth girl, stick close to me,
because the people in this town, they look straight through me

we were silenced by the night,
but you and I, we’re gonna rise again
divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then.

‘Cause baby, I’m not scared of this world when you’re here
and baby, I’m not scared of this world when you’re here…

Ohhhh, you and I, we’re gonna rise again
Ohhhh, you and I, we’re gonna rise again

we were silenced by the night,
but you and I, we’re gonna rise again
divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then.

BBC BREAKFAST INTERVIEW

From BBCnews,

With Album sales of over ten million, Keane have become one of the Uk's biggest selling bands. Their fan base today might be global, but ten years ago, it was pretty much confined to a small part of East Sussex where the band grew up. And that's where Keane will kick off their latest world tour tonight, to mark the release of their new album. Tim Muffett's been to meet them.

STRANGELAND COVER

From Alex Lake's website,


Very pleased to announce I’ve been working with Keane through 2011 on the photography for their forthcoming album ‘Strangeland’. This is the cover and the record is released on 7th May 2012.

TIM'S BEST OF 2011

From KM.com,



We round off our Best of 2011 Q&As with Tim's selections. See below for links to the others'.

1. Favourite album of 2011?

The Vaccines - What Did You Expect From The Vaccines? Loads of great songs, which is a rarity. No dead wood whatsoever. Very inspiring.

2. Favourite single?

Probably Video Games, like everyone else in the world! Just an amazing song, anchored in the deeply mundane but transporting and heavenly at the same time.

3. Best gig you saw?

Erasure at Brighton Dome. Possibly the most underrated band of all time, and it's a crying shame they're not a considered a national treasure in the UK. One massive singalong hit after another. Honourable mention to Arcade Fire in Hyde Park. What a great band.

4. Best moment in the studio?

We spent an entire day rehearsing hundreds of different versions of one particular song, but I can remember when we went back into the control room to listen to the final version it felt so energised and exciting it just blew everyone's socks off. I reckon it will be the first song on the album…but probably too early to say for sure!

5. Best film you saw?

Blue Valentine was pretty amazing.

6. Best journey you made?

I've hardly been anywhere this year! One journey that sticks in my head was walking back from my local pub one very clear summer night through a huge rolling field and seeing a huge white moon hanging low over the hills and lighting up everything almost as if it was day time.

7. Best TV show you watched?

Mad Men.

8. Best thing you heard on the radio?

The first time I heard 'Baby Missiles' by The War On Drugs I felt incredibly excited. Those moments can revitalise your love of music…and of life, in fact.

9. Best book you read?

The Grapes Of Wrath [by John Steinbeck]. A truly overwhelming book, and a magical tribute to human dignity.

10. Best thing you bought yourself?

A pair of 5-a-side football goals.

11. Best thing someone else bought for you?

My wife bought me a bag of Montezuma's Milk Chocolate buttons for Christmas. I seriously love those things. I want to marry them.

12. Best website you visited or app/podcast you downloaded?

damnyouautocorrect.com. I'm a man of simple pleasures.

13. Best thing that happened in 2011 for Keane?

The salt beef sandwiches from the deli near RAK Studios.

14. Best thing that happened in 2011 for you?

Taking a few sacks of home-grown apples and pears to a local farm and coming home with gallons of fresh juice.

15. Finally, what are you looking forward to in 2012?

Playing cricket.
