摇滚:Somewhere Only We Know

英文歌词：

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely¹ on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Oh simple thing where have you gone
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

So if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

这是一个怎样的世界呢？是的，是吉他和贝司手的天下。所以当一支靠主唱＋钢琴手＋鼓手的乐队赢遍天下后，你或者会问：这是一支摇滚乐队吗？答案是肯定的，它就是来自英国的Keane。

　　主唱汤姆·卓别林(TomChaplin)与钢琴手蒂姆·莱斯－奥克斯利(TimRice－Oxley)，以及鼓手理查德·休斯(RichardHughes)就构成了Keane的全部。三个来自英国南部小镇Battle的年轻人自幼情同手足，于是叫上一位主奏吉他手，组成了Keane乐队，现在负责钢琴的蒂姆当时主要负责弹贝司。但不久主奏吉他手退出了，面对或者解散或者重组的现实，Keane被迫从一支吉他乐队转变为由钢琴主音的流行音乐组合，蒂姆也重新弹回钢琴。

　　乐队的坎坷成长经历大同小异，2003年1月他们终于签约在一家很小但很经典的独立厂牌PiercePanda旗下，在伦敦的酒吧演出，并回到Battle镇录制了第一张单曲《Everything's Changing》，被Radio1的DJSteveLamacq选为“本周单曲”，唱片印了500张，并销售一空，他们觉得“难以置信”。

　　2004年，这支稍显“另类”的摇滚乐队发行了自己第一张唱片《Hopes And Fears》。或者数字更能说明问题，首张唱片创下超过500万张的销量，这一成绩打破了英国唱片最高销量的纪录，即便在遥远的美国，发行量也达到85万张。当年Keane凭借这张专辑，拿下了BritAwards最佳专辑和最佳信任两项大奖，风头一时无两。

　　因为音乐风格与Coldplay以及U2有些类似，新出来的Keane被奉为这两支乐队的接班人。但从第二张专辑可以看出，Keane正在努力摆脱“接班人”的称号。

        Keane乐队于宣布乐队的第二张专辑《Under the Iron² Sea》在6月12日通过Island公司面向全球发行，而《Under the Iron Sea》专辑的北美版将在6月20日在Interscope公司发行。
