This was another '20 Song Game' effort - I wrote it the same day as Silenced By The Night, Black Rain, and Run With Me (and, for Mt Desolation fans, Dividing Line, Your Kind Of Life, and Wherever You Were Going). I remember finishing it in Toronto on a day off, and then doing the demo in New York City - another duvet-on-my-head moment! Tom was always a bit fan of this one and really pushed it forward. That's often the way it works - you have a lot of songs that everyone agrees on, but then each band member will have a song that they really champion because they hear something in it that everyone else hasn't quite picked up on yet. With Richard it was The Starting Line. Anyway I think the emotional content of this one is quite representative of the whole album - the story is basically "I've realised that I have no idea what's going on in life, so I'm not going to judge anyone else!" I feel it has an atmosphere of sympathy and grace. Also the middle 8 is one of my favourite parts of the record. Under the word "time" at the end of the middle 8 you may be able to make out the four of us all singing "Aaaaah" very operatically. Like a choir of angels falling down an elevator shaft. -- Keane Taiwan: 基音樂團台灣粉絲團 http://www.facebook.com/groups/KeaneTaiwan/ --
