Keane are "one of the greatest bands to emerge in recent times in England" according to Brian May, Queen's guitarrist.
The band released 3 albums and 1EP (that is considered to be an album) - Hopes And Fears (2004), Under The Iron Sea (2006), Perfect Symmetry (2008) and Night Train EP (2010), being nowadays on studio preparing their new album plan to be released in 2012.
White Christmas is originally by Irving Berlin and first released in 1942. The song talks about old-fashioned Christmas settings. Very different artists like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Michael Bublé or Lady Gaga have cover it.
In Keane's version, the original lines were changed to
"The sun's been hiding, the streets are gray,
The rain has been falling down.
Seems everyone wears a frown
for Christmas in London town
It reminds me each time I roamed.
I'm longing to be back home"
read the original here.
Keane's version was recorded after been asked to do a cover for Steve Lamacq's Christmas Show in 2003.
