Hi all.

Hope you all know Keane have a new single out on monday 29 october "The Night Sky".
This is a charity record and deserves to do well , but it is also in my opinion the best song Keane have done since the hopes and fears album.
Watch the video here http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q5vEP41ZfY

Info below is taken from keanemusic.com

We're very pleased to announce that Keane will release 'The Night Sky' on 29th October 2007, through Island Records, to raise money for the UN Award winning charity War Child. The single will also be available to download exclusively from 22nd October 2007, at

'The Night Sky', produced by Keane and Andy Green, is written from a child's perspective about the war-torn devastation around them.

Keane became patrons of War Child in 2006 to help raise money for children caught up in conflict and post conflict areas. Their work continues with the release of this exclusive single, and also marks the beginning of a campaign to raise money for War Child's plight to help future generations affected by war.

"War Child is an award winning charity that works to protect marginalised children - street children, child soldiers and children in prison - in places like Iraq, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. As patrons of War Child, Keane are fantastic supporters of our work. Everyone who downloads Keane's brilliant new single, 'The Night Sky', will be helping to protect children in some of the worst war zones in the world."
War Child CEO Mark Waddington

"We are very proud to be patrons of War Child. One child dies every three minutes because of armed conflict, and all of us can do something about it. War Child do something quite extraordinary and unique in helping to make the lives of future generations better, we hope everyone wants be a part of that. If you're interested in learning about this magnificent cause, then please go to warchildmusic.com."
Tom Chaplin

The tracklisting is as follows:

'THE NIGHT SKY'

ONE DAY I WILL BE
BACK IN OUR OLD STREET
SAFE FROM THE NOISE THAT'S
FALLING AROUND ME

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND

OPEN THE BARS AND
OPEN THE MARKETS
OPEN THE BANKS AND
OPEN THE CHURCHES

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
AND THERE WILL BE NO SOUND

WE'VE BEEN COWERING SO LONG
OH WHAT I WOULD GIVE
TO STAND AT THE BUS STOP
OR BROWSE IN A BOOKSHOP
TO SLEEP AND ALWAYS BE STILL

AND WE'LL RELEASE THIS TOWN FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO KNOCK IT DOWN
AND THEN ONLY CITY LIGHTS WILL BRIGHTEN THE NIGHT SKY
AND I WILL BE SET FREE FROM THE PEOPLE
WHO ARE TRYING TO BURY ME
AND THEN ONLY FIREWORKS WILL LIGHT THE SKY AT NIGHT
FOR ALL THE WORLD CAN SEE

I just meant you'll see very little interest around here in anyone who hasn't won a TV talent show or been in the papers for catfights with other celebrities.

God forbid anyone actually take any interest in real musicians for a change.

I was only trying to point out that it's a great song and all for a very good cause.
Anyone else got an opinion on the song - good/bad ?

Brilliant song. Deserves to be no.1 . I was lucky enough to see them 4 yrs ago supporting Shack in Brighton in front of about 30 people! I knew then they would make it big. Shame it never quite happened for Shack though. Brilliant band who really deserve more recognition.

I did not start this thread to slate Keane or any other band.
The music you listen to might be , as you put it "Utter Shite"
but who am i to judge what turns you on.
I started this thread to gage opinions on a song (Have you even heard it) that happens to be Keane and that is for a worthy cause.

Never mind "X Factor" is on tonight , that might be more your cup of tea.

I'm glad that someone else feels the same way. Is there a decent music forum (non specific to a particular artist) where people talk about music, not personalities?

Their version of under pressure is brilliant too. Very true to the original.

Sounds pretty good to me on first listen, the start sounds a bit like 'Atlantic' imo. It will almost certainly grow on me as
well.

In fairness, it hasn't been heavily publicised.

Still a good tune in my opinion though. Well written of course.
