Piano pop trio Keane say that new single Perfect Symmetry is about war and terrorism.Frontman Tom Chaplin and drummer Richard Hughes were talking to stv ahead of their winners-only show for lucky Bauer Media radio stations (inc. Clyde 1, Forth One and Northsound 1) plus a handful of five thirty show, viewers.
The pair revealed that the band are having more fun than ever and said on the new record they tried to make the sound as eclectic as possible.
“We love the song, it’s a great song” said singer Tom of Perfect Symmetry, the title track from their new album. “As soon as we started playing and recording it, we thought it was the best single we’d ever done.
“It’s a kind of sprawling epic…about war and terrorism. Trying to see the good in the people though, to encourage our sense of sympathy and humanity as people, rather than the uglier side of life.
“It’s a very powerful song of the times.”
In October the English group racked up their third successive number one album with Perfect Symmetry, a feat they are delighted with.
“We’ve come back with a record that’s very fresh and exciting. It’s kind of testament to our strength of character as a band,” said Tom.
“Getting this album to number one, considering the amount of competition that there’s been towards the end of this year, has been an especially good feeling.”
“2008 has definitely been the most fun in the life of Keane,” added Richard.
