It seems like Keane have run out of singles already to be honest – this track is nothing more than average and isn’t the kind of tune that would make a band stand high above the rest at all – in fact its more the sort of slow paced music you would skip past if you heard it on the radio or on a music channel. I really think that the band have messed up on this one as I have been a fan of their previous singles, but have never bought their album in fear of being disappointed – this single seems to prove that I have been right not to buy the album in fear of disappointment as it really is nothing special.
I have never really got in to this track – I have tried to give it a go but I really can’t find a place in my heart, or indeed in my CD player for it. It’s nothing new, nothing interesting – and the whole idea of having a pianist instead of a guitar seems to be running a bit thin in all honesty. They are no longer a novelty, but more of an annoyance and this track is really where I draw the line with this band. Chances are, after today I will never again listen to this track again, unless it comes on the radio – in which case I will change to another station.
This is one for the die hard Keane fans really as I don’t think that it is going to gain them any new fans with its slow pace and uninspiring sound. This track has been a real disappointment for me as I had been expecting great things, having been a fan of the bands previous work – but after listening to this single I was nothing but disappointed.
