Tim and Richard answer the Fans
23.01.2008
Tim Answers the Fans:
"My question is this: There're some bands that have a clear objective (like does Bono with U2 for example)...With your music, in general do you have an aim? Why do you do music?"JiMe from Argentina
Tim replies: That's a big question. I love writing songs because it enables me to express thoughts and ideas and feelings that I seem to be incapable of expressing in any other way. I think the same is true of the band as a whole - when we play together we seem to be able to say something more powerful than any of us could say as individuals. It's a magical thing about being in a band. So that in itself is enough really. However, we've always admired people who consciously use their music to deliver a message of some sort. There are many great examples, from the protest songs of the 60s to the rave music of the 90s. Over the last few years we've become better at deliberately articulating specific ideas in our songs - 'Is It Any Wonder?' for example, or 'A Bad Dream', or even something like 'Atlantic'. That's really exciting for us. You have to be careful not to let the process become too contrived, or you'll lose the soul of the music. But for me probably the best thing about being in a band is hearing that one of our songs has had some kind of profound impact on someone, especially when it's someone on the other side of the world who speaks a different language and has a completely different experience of life. I can't explain how that works, but it's an incredible feeling and I suppose that's why we "do music".
"In your songs, you talk a lot about getting older. Is there a reason for the similar topic among the songs, or does it just happen that this is?"
Rachel
Tim replies: I constantly have the feeling that I'm trying to catch up, that I'm running late for something very important in my life. I think that's partly because it took us so long to get any recognition as a band. We made a lot of sacrifices in our twenties in order to keep the band together, and so now we have the opportunities we have I constantly feel that I need to do as much as possible to make up for lost time, and that time is always moving too fast for me. I'm sure it's a pretty common sensation. Plus I feel very youthful and I live in fear of settling in some kind of resigned lethargy as I get older. I hope I'll be one of those mischievous old people who always acts like a teenager, and my kids will dread bringing their kids to see me because I teach them rude words and make them listen to old fuddy-duddy music (Aphex Twin, Radiohead, etc) at deafening volumes.
Richard Answers the Fans:
"Richard. Will we be hearing your voice on the 3rd Keane album? I think your voice is rather good. And you show such enthusiasm when you sing live."Kaili Steele
Richard replies: Thanks Kaili. I've always trusted that enthusiasm is a good substitute for ability! I guess I might sing on the record - I did my first ever recorded vocals on 'Under Pressure' and it was really satisfying. I'll show the others your question and ask them when they stop laughing at me!
"Hi Richard. I want to know, when did you learn play the drums?"Couty
Richard replies: Hi to you too Couty. The drums were often my favourite part of a song when I was growing up, so I guess I started listening to them a long time before I started to play - I think I was 17 when I began playing, but I loved it, and immediately started to play whenever I could. As soon as I had a kit at home I'd play for hours, putting on album after album on headphones and trying to play along. All the Britpop records from Blur, Oasis, Elastica, The Bluetones, plus Radiohead, as well as pretty much the entire Beatles back catalogue, Bowie...

Tom answers fans' questions
TOM ASNWERS YOUR QUESTIONS
18.01.08 | 10.56.am
Mr Chaplin faces your Ask Keane queries
Yes, as promised earlier in the week, we've asked Tom, Tim and Richard to answer some more of the questions which you folks have very kindly been sending in via the Ask Keane area of Ezine. Tom was quickest to reply to our email (gold star to Mr Chaplin!) so we're posting his responses first. Answers from Tim and Richard will follow in the next few days.
"Dear Tom. My question is, how you do always have your voice so tuned?"
Romina
Tom replies: Practice and luck.
"Hi Tom! I wonder if you are related to Charlie Chaplin?"
Siri
Tom replies: So do I! Recently, I've become obsessed by a British TV series called "Who Do You Think You Are?" in which various famous people are helped by a genealogist to find out about their ancestors and the social history that surrounds them. It's often a very moving experience and something I've even considered doing on a private basis! Chaplin is quite an unusual name and although Charlie Chaplin spent a large portion of his life in America, he was born in England. Anyway, I'd be very interested to find out.
"Hi Tom, what is your favourite colour?"
Lauren
Tom replies: All of them. Kaleidoscopes make my brain go funny. Does that count?
"Tom - What is your favourite Keane song?"
Miri
Tom replies: There's a new song called 'Perfect Symmetry', which is the best song that Tim has ever written. A true classic and also a song for our times. I can't wait to start singing it to you lot out there. You won't be disappointed.
"Tom, is it true that you had (or have) a rabbit called 'Biffo'?
Ana Catarina
Tom replies: No. I have two ducks called Hannah and Wayne that potter around on my pond. There were originally five of them but I reckon my builders ate them when they were working on my house. My girlfriend has a miniature poodle (and no it doesn't have a stupid haircut) that I've grown to love. They're actually reckoned to be one of the most intelligent dogs of them all, although this unfortunately also makes him one of the most defiant, spoilt and arrogant dogs I've ever encountered. Those traits seem to have come to the forefront since I've known him. Every dog is like its owner etc… Somehow he seems to get away with it, though. Is that me or the dog? Who knows?
"Tom, what's the most important thing in your life?"
Esmeralda Duenas
Tom replies: It flits between cricket and golf. Followed by the wonderful people I have in my life. As you can tell, my priorities are as confused as I am.
"Tom, can you hold a note for 20.2 seconds (like Morten Harket does in 'Summer Moved On')?
Danielle
Tom replies: I met Morten Harket once and he's the healthiest looking man I've ever encountered. He probably has lungs like hot air balloons. How can I compete with that?
"Tom, I'd like to know how do you take care of your voice? I'm asking because I intend to be a vocalist someday and my biggest fear is to wake up without my voice in the day of a performance! Have it ever happened to you?"
Maria Isabel
Tom replies: My voice only really goes when I get a throat infection or a bad cold. Then there was the War Child gig in Manchester where I had a terrible stomach bug – voice was fine but the rest of my body was a mess. Normally though I'm very lucky that my voice seems to be pretty robust. I do a lot of warming up and I look after my body very well on tour these days…which really helps.
"Tom, what is your favourite football team?"
George Papadakis
Tom replies: Ipswich Town. Wouldn't die for them though. Mainly because they're a bit ****.
"Tom, I am from Costa Rica and I think you guys are amazing. I just wanna know, what do you do when you feel alone?"
Tiffany
Tom replies: Wow, that comes across as an extremely philosophical question. I feel that living in these times we have more distractions and more opportunities to communicate; and yet it seems like there's more loneliness and unhappiness than ever before. Solitude is fine so long as that's what you really want. I like spending time on my own but I don't like being stuck on my own with a lot of bottled up anxieties. My answer, for what it's worth, is to try to talk to someone if you feel alone, however hard that might seem. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the old cliché of "a problem shared is a problem halved" is very helpful. Whenever I feel alone, it's because I'm stuck with problems and parts of my personality that I don't particularly like. I've spent a fair amount of time over the last year or two trying to articulate those feelings to other people, especially the people closest to me. Anyway, before I start sounding like some awful pseudo-psychiatrist, I'll be on my way. Lots of love to you all. Goodbye. Tom

CHICKEN OUT!
Tim writes about the Chicken Out! campaign
Happy new year everyone. We're gearing up to start work in the studio next week, which is very exciting. Everyone's feeling great and the songs are coming together nicely.
In the meantime, here's a thought for the day. The three of us all have very strong feelings about animal welfare, and also about the ethics of sourcing and buying food generally. Someone I've found very inspirational because of his relentless campaigning in this area is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, so we're pleased to be lending our support to his excellent Chicken Out! campaign.
Maybe some of you saw the first episode of Hugh's TV show about battery-farming yesterday (it will be continued tonight and tomorrow). If you did I hope you'll agree that it was both deeply disturbing and inspiring.
If you agree with Hugh, and with us, that rearing animals in this way should be illegal - rather than being the standard practice of supermarket-supplying farmers - then please sign up for the Chicken Out! campaign by clicking the banner below.
We can also make a statement - and force an improvement in rearing practices - by changing the way we buy food (again, in this case chickens). Buy free range, preferably organic, chickens rather than cheap battery-farmed animals, and let retailers know that food sourced in such a brutal way does not appeal to shoppers in 2008.
See you all soon. 2008 should be a great year.
Tim

Keane's Christmas song
O Natal está a chegar, por isso deixo-vos aqui um pequeno presente :)
"A Heart To Hold You", uma música dos Keane de 2004 que não chegou a ser editada, mas foi feita a pensar no Natal.
A Heart To Hold You - "It's a really lovely song and one that is very close to our hearts. When we were asked to do a Christmassy-type song for Radio 1 there were some awful cheesy Christmas songs and we really racked our brains to think of something we'd be alright covering. But, in the end, we thought we'd do something of our own - it has a Christmassy message of warmth and love and I think that's a really important thing." - Tom to Radio 1 - Source
The song was only given a title the week of it first being played on radio (beginning of December 2004), and previously refered to as "The Bing Crosby One", "The Bing Crosby Song" or "The Bing Crosby Number" due to it sounding Christmassy, and Bing Crosby's assocation with Christmas (because of White Christmas)

Keane help War Child raise £115,00
Keane help War Child raise £115,00 Earlier this month Keane put on two huge gigs in Manchester and London to raise funds for War Child's work with children affected by conflict. With the help of Pet Shop Boys, Guillemots, Lily Allen, Brendan Benson, Peter Kay, The Magic Numbers, Milburn, Findlay Brown and Teddy Thompson they helped us raise £115,000. We'll use the money to support our work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
All the money raised at the Brixton gig (a huge £75k) will go towards our Iraq Appeal. In a country where 1 child is dying every 5 minutes and almost 50% don't have access to education the need has never been greater. War Child is the only international charity working with children in south Iraq so this money really is vital. We'd like to extend our thanks to Keane and everyone else who played and of course to everyone who came along.
New War Child website The Night Sky - out now!
We've just relaunched our main site to give you more info on our projects in Iraq, Afghanistan, DRC and Uganda. With blogs from our field staff and guest writers, Twitter feeds, shop and load of ideas on how to support War Child you can't really go wrong. As if raising us £115k wasn't enough Keane have also released a single in aid of War Child. The Night Sky is available to download on warchildmusic.com (or iTunes if you're iPod-inclined) or you can buy a physical copy at most good record shops.
