Somewhere Only We Know...

This one's another song by Keane.. 'Somewhere Only We Know'... Just the title of the song gives me goosebumps... the song's so simple.. yet so profound!!Tom's voice and Tim's lyrics always create magic... I've never liked falsetto much but coming from Tom's vocal chords, i love even that... :) It really is amazing, the way they come up with simple words that express so much... no pretensions... just the truth, pure and simple, straight from the heart... It's a lovely feeling when all that you want to say but cannot express is beautifully sung by someone (and it doesn't hurt that the 'someone' singing is really cute... Tom Chaplin in this case... he's a Gombu! :)
their debut album 'Hopes and Fears' was Incredible... and the recent one 'Under the Iron Sea' is equally great... it's like Clive Wearing said.. 'The most important things cannot be spoken; that's why there's music...'
When you listen to their songs, it makes you feel like you aren't the only one searching for that elusive, ideal world where it's okay to be simple... okay to not play games... okay to be all that you are... their songs give me hope... :)
Perhaps the world i'm looking for does not exist.. but even the hope of finding it is enough, really.. And then even this Ordinary World isn't all that bad.. because when you actually think about it, Life is pretty Beautiful.. :)
