	Album will be available in the U.S. and Canada onJune 20th

JB Rhythm Player	#2 by JB Underwood at Jun 9, 2006 at 3:23 AM EST
	Woooow, is it just me...or they have kind of like a U2-like vibe?? I love the song, and think the meaning can easily be adapted to the meaning we each want to give it.

Fuck The World Average	#3 by Fuck The World and Pass The Booze. at Jun 18, 2006 at 3:18 AM EST
	Damn, I hadn't noticed those comments up there (about U2), anyway, I feel happy not to be the only one who thinks so.

Eric Average	#4 by Eric Talley at Jun 26, 2006 at 2:14 AM EST
	Actually there are not any guitars. Tim Rice-Oxley created the guitar effects on the album using a keyboard and effects pedal.

owain Wanna Be	#5 by owain pole at Jun 26, 2006 at 9:48 AM EST
	Ahem, First entry ^^ ! I interpret this song the way that he's with a girl and he feels bored and doesn't know how to take back animosity in his relation.

Steph Badass	#6 by Steph at Jul 5, 2006 at 10:12 AM EST
	to begin w/.. i like this new up-beat keane!! lyrical-wise.. i feel like it connects to me. like he knew me nad wrote it 4 me!! (it's weird...) but apart from a relationship, what if he's talking about life?? its twists and turns (see MV) stressing us out (-"is it any wondor i feel tired...uptight...") and confusing us (- "i don't know what's right") and paranoid (-"afraid" "betrayed")?? interesting about the "lonely cathedral". does he find nothing in a church?? (like me?? and death cab 4 cutie's crooked teeth??) strange ideas, i kno that's what i feel..... :) o and "love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme" :D

john Average	#7 by john ross at Jul 25, 2006 at 12:50 AM EST
	yes there are

No Picture Tanner Average	#8 by Tanner Rudnick at Aug 3, 2006 at 8:08 AM EST
	i like this song, in part because it's very similar to U2' Vertigo

bigl Wanna Be	#9 by bigl shattuck at Aug 20, 2006 at 7:45 PM EST
	I think he feels his ex has screwed him over, and he feels betrayed. It sounds like he just wanted a normal relationship, but his significant other was maybe wild or immoral or whatever (hence "the good and true"). It's quite relatable. And I actually thought this was U2 the first time I heard it.. his voice sounds a lot like Bono's.

Len Badass	#10 by Len cullum at Aug 29, 2006 at 11:06 AM EST
	They DO sound a bit like U2 in this song, particularly the song Zoo Station. Maybe it's just me, but I like Keane with the addition of guitars.

Exizzle Average	#11 by Exizzle at Sep 2, 2006 at 2:21 PM EST
	I think this song is amazing. They sound a lot like U2. But that's not a bad thing. Are those... guitars I hear, Keane? Oh, I also think that maybe the theme of this song was borne out of the conflicts between the band members while making this album. I read that they nearly broke up while making it, and maybe this song reflects the emotions they felt during that time.

luke Average	#12 by luke walden at Sep 15, 2006 at 8:34 AM EST
	theres no guitars anyway. that sfor user who thought there are some :)_

dakota Wanna Be	#13 by dakota at Nov 11, 2006 at 7:52 AM EST
	At first I didn't pay too much attention to this song when they premiered it on BBC1 but now I'm completely obsessed with it. I think i might even BUY the album! Definitely not Bedshaped but I think better. I think it might be ,although the quote from Rolling Stone might be true, about someone being naive and believing the world truly was a good place but then coming to realise that everyone was just laughing at him for his ideas. He feels betrayed and bitter for being treated like a fool. He's clearly questioning the world and blaming it for his anger which these days can be understood! In a way it ties with the Rolling Interview it's like the anthem to our generation.

No Picture Nick Average	#14 by Nick Roomsburg at Nov 27, 2006 at 7:02 AM EST
	Yes i thought that they were not guitars, sounded more an effect the Tim created! i suppose an easy way to notice is if u look at any live rendition of this track, there are no guitars there!!!

by fires light Rhythm Player	#15 by by fires light she cried at Jan 3, 2007 at 3:43 AM EST
	yea, i really dislike keane, but after i heard this song i fell in love with it, but this is the only keane song i like, soo, i don't like keane just this awesome song!!

Lily Average	#16 by Lily at May 27, 2007 at 5:34 PM EST
	something he didn't expect has taken place, and now he's completely confused. it was something he never would have thought to happen - like one's wife having an affair or one's child dying.

No Picture YFLBassplayer Wanna Be	#17 by YFLBassplayer at Aug 1, 2007 at 8:46 PM EST
	It sounds like guitars - its a keyboard effect though

THIS GUY Wanna Be	#18 by THIS GUY at Aug 8, 2007 at 8:04 AM EST
	I just wanted to say I love the line "love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme". It's so beautiful and so depressing. I hope the whole album is as good as this

Rebecca Average	#19 by Rebecca ******* at Sep 29, 2007 at 4:20 PM EST
	Not one of my favs. in the new album . But still nice stuff . Different from Hopes and Fears' materials . They r not afraid to discover newer territories and thats good .
