Complete List Of Keane Songs From A to Z

Keane emerged from Battle, East Sussex, with a sound that placed piano and keyboards at the center of a rock band rather than treating them as background decoration. Tom Chaplin’s soaring lead vocals, Tim Rice-Oxley’s songwriting and keyboard arrangements, Richard Hughes’ drumming, and Jesse Quin’s later addition on bass gave the group a musical identity that could move from intimate ballads to expansive arena anthems without relying on a conventional lead guitarist.

The band began in the 1990s, first performing under the name Lotus Eaters before becoming Keane. Years of small shows, early independent singles, demos, and lineup changes preceded the release of “Everybody’s Changing” and “This Is the Last Time,” recordings that helped bring the group to Island Records and established the emotional directness that would define its work.

Hopes and Fears arrived in 2004 and became one of the defining British albums of its decade. “Somewhere Only We Know,” “Everybody’s Changing,” “Bedshaped,” “Bend and Break,” and “We Might as Well Be Strangers” joined memorable piano melodies to lyrics about uncertainty, separation, friendship, and change. The album topped the UK chart and earned Keane the BRIT Awards for British Album and British Breakthrough Act.

Keane followed with the darker and more electronic Under the Iron Sea in 2006. “Is It Any Wonder?,” “A Bad Dream,” “Crystal Ball,” “Nothing in My Way,” and “Atlantic” expanded the band’s arrangements while reflecting the pressures created by sudden success. The album’s twentieth-anniversary edition, released in 2026, added B-sides, demos, covers, acoustic recordings, and live performances from the period.

Perfect Symmetry pushed the group toward brighter synthesizers, rhythmic experimentation, and 1980s-influenced pop on “Spiralling,” “The Lovers Are Losing,” “Better Than This,” and the title track. The 2010 EP Night Train extended that experimentation through collaborations and songs including “Stop for a Minute,” “Looking Back,” “Clear Skies,” and “My Shadow.”

Jesse Quin became a permanent member before Strangeland, which returned Keane to the landscapes and relationships of East Sussex through “Silenced by the Night,” “Disconnected,” “Sovereign Light Café,” “The Starting Line,” and “Sea Fog.” The album gave the band its fifth consecutive number-one release on the UK Albums Chart when the studio albums and Night Train are counted together.

After several years apart, Keane returned with Cause and Effect in 2019. The album addressed marriage, parenthood, regret, and emotional recovery through “The Way I Feel,” “Love Too Much,” “You’re Not Home,” “Stupid Things,” and “Thread.” The four-song Dirt EP followed in 2021 with material drawn from the same creative period.

The band celebrated the twentieth anniversary of Hopes and Fears with a 2024 reissue and an international tour. A live album recorded in Mexico City followed in 2025, and the short instrumental and vocal piece “See You on the Other Side,” originally created as walk-on music for the anniversary concerts, received a separate studio release that July.

In 2026, Keane marked twenty years of Under the Iron Sea with a newly remastered edition and two additional discs of B-sides, demos, covers, radio sessions, and concert recordings. The collection brought previously unavailable material including “The Family Car,” “Guitar Song Hamburg Sketch,” and performances of “She Sells Sanctuary,” “Under Pressure,” “Enjoy the Silence,” and “An Irishman Foresees His Death” into the band’s official catalog.
