“ Oh I know that my hardened heart is beating still. I drove it to the point of madness just to feel, something real”—  Hardened Heart by Tom Chaplin

Perfect Symmetry + minimalism

“I think my influences as a songwriter come from far and wide, but especially from books. I’m quite a slow reader, and I think I really engage with a book emotionally. Often a book will really be a big part of my life for however long it takes me to read it. Sometimes I’ll be dipping into it for weeks and months, reading a few pages at a time, because I have a terribly short attention span. And when I’m not reading it, I’ll find myself thinking about it, and talking to other people about it. I think all that does definitely come out in my songwriting.”

Keane + Hopes and Fears (part 1)

“My wife just said, “How’s it going?” and I was like, ‘We finished the record.’ Only when I got home did I sort of realize we’d actually finished recording.”

Tim Rice-Oxley 

‘Well, our relationship has been intense our whole lives’, he smiles. ‘in the darkest hours I’ve thought, ’ just can’t, y'know, do this to myself anymore. ‘We can’t carry on’. But I quite like that about us. We’re still here. We still have a great love for each other because we almost laughingly accept each other’s faults. That’s what you get if you share your life with someone.“

“When we started we were typical teenagers who wanted to meet girls. A bunch of geeks who wanted to find a way of being cool.” - Tim Rice-Oxley
