Their recent Strangeland, released on May 7th, 2012 is already a successful record. The album's themes are related with life, hopes, teenage dreams and unexpected paths.
Keane's sound has returned to their beginning, becoming a mix of their first two records.
According to Tim Rice-Oxley, keyboardist and main composer of the band, Strangeland "it's a very emotional album. The title track is about setting off in a certain path in life and thinking it's going to go one way, but finding out life's taken a detour. Pretty much every song on the album is about that. (But) it's a more hopeful record than it might sound!"
Sovereigh Light Café is going to be the third single taken from Strangeland, set to be released on July 16th.
Inspired by some holidays with Richard Hughes where they visited Bexhill-On-Sea and went to a café names Sovereigh Light Café.
This song is a reflection of the last fifteen years, talking about the band members longtime friendship, the places they lived while growing up, their teenage dreams and adult accomplishments... The unexpected turns of life.
Tim also explained this was the first song written for the record, taking form in São Paulo.
A very personal and touching song that shows why Keane are Keane because they talk about love, life and turning points and without any shame.
"I'm begging you for some sign,
But you've still got nothing to say
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
I'm a better man now than I was that day."
