Keane has today released their new video for the track titled ‘Love Actually’. Originally meant for the film of the same name, Keane shelved the track for 20 years, only to record and release it now. While the movie is now two decades in our past, the song feels more relevant than, I feel, it could have back then. I’m also glad that it didn’t get attached to a movie, or anything else for that matter. It clearly stands on it’s own. That subtle way about it, how it glides through the atmosphere without a care in the world.
I first found Keane on my music radar in 2006 with ‘Is It Any Wonder?’ and was completely floored. That song, to me, sounded like nothing I have ever heard yet everything I wanted to hear. And to see Keane celebrate their own heritage with a special remaster of ‘Hopes and Fears’ seems fitting. This music needs to be rediscovered, as discovered as it already is, to those that haven’t listened yet.
