The things you wanna know...
What is the "Special Edition" Hopes and Fears?
The track "On A Day Like Today" was omitted from many international releases of Hopes and Fears, so that Universal could label the UK edition as a "Special Edition" of the album. The band however consider "On A Day Like Today" to definately be a part of Hopes and Fears! Thus if you've bought Hopes and Fears in the UK but it doesn't have the track on, or a sticker, then it's probably been cheaply imported.
Who writes the songs in the band?
I believe that although Tim comes up with the songs, each member adds their own style to their parts - they have all been credited in all releases as yet!
What are the songs about?
Bedshaped - "bedshaped is about feeling that you've been 'left behind' by an old friend or lover. and about hoping that you'll be reunited one day so that you can live out the end of your lives together the way you started them. i guess there's some anger at a friend who wants to move on in search of new, exciting, more sophisticated things, leaving behind the simple things you used to share....and a hope that they'll eventually want to get away from the bright lights and come back home. it's a sad and angry song, but also full of hope. i hope that makes sense.
I think i'm right in saying that in hospital when someone is ill or infirm and has to spend a lot of time in bed they can become 'bedshaped'. it sounds a bit depressing...well i guess it is a bit depressing in reality, but in the context of the song i wanted to suggest old age and frailty, along the lines that i mentioned before about two old friends coming back together in the twilight of their lives. it's great that you guys like bedshaped...it's a song that means a lot to us." - Tim - messageboard - Source
I'll put more songs about...
I gotta say that Keane will not come to "Queima das fitas" in Porto, it was only a rumor :(
