Hopes and Fears brings me back. Me and a group of friends instantly loved this album. We heard nothing else like it before. And Keane never had anything like it since. What makes “Somewhere Only We Know” more special to me these days is the fact that my oldest son also now loves this song. I will catch him singing it randomly sometimes. I used to wonder why this song appealed to him so much. As I thought about it more, I realized it’s the song’s beauty. People are attracted to beautiful things. This song has proven over the last 15 years that true beauty never fades.

“Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on. So tell me when you're gonna let me in. I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin.”
