Willow is Under The Iron Sea

Today's Tim Rice-Oxley's birthday! He turns 50. Wow, I came to know about him when he was almost 28 and here we are, 22 years later.

Tim is the most amazing man ever. I just... Can't help it but love him and admire him both as a musician and as a human being. Besides my sister, he's my favorite human in the world, he is so wonderful, so talented, so beautiful, so fucking smart, so funny... Gosh. I just could write all day about him but I won't, hahaha.

I just feel so glad my favorite person turns 50 today! 🩵 Enjoy your day, birthday boy!

Tim, we are so close and yet so far... But I am so happy you love California 🩵

Jesse Quin joined Keane 15 years ago! 💙

Jesse worked with Keane since 2007 but he officially joined the band on february 3rd, 2011.

I received this gift today. As the Stranger I've been for 21 years, reading this book feels overwhelmingly good, like a warmth in my chest.

I admire every member of Keane, but Tim Rice-Oxley connected with me when I was almost 12 years old, and since then, I've loved and admired him every day. Seeing photos of them as children, as teenagers, before the success of Hopes & Fears, and during that success feels incredible because I grew up with them, and they with us.

My sister @glossiegu made this for me: look at them!!! Aren't they super cute?? My very own Keane plushies!! 🥹 The one with the blue shirt is Jesse 🩵 The one with the brown t-shirt is Tim 🤎 The one with the stripped t-shirt is Rich 🤍 and the one with the black shirt is Tom 🖤
