Is It Any Wonder? - Keane
I.. I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
be living in the kingdom of the good and true
It's on but now I think how I was wrong
and you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on...
My sight ,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Sometimes it's hard to know where I stand,
It's hard to know where I am,
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm
stranded in the wrong time
where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme.a soundbite
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
Nothing left inside this old cathedral,
just the sad, lonely spires,
How do you make it right?
Oh, but you try,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
2005년 브릿 어워드 ‘올해의 앨범’ 수상에 빛나는 데뷔 앨범 [Hopes And Fears]를 발표하며, 섬세한 가성과 마음에 꽂히는 투명한 멜로디로 모던 록 팬들 뿐만 아니라 일반 팝팬들까지 단단히 사로잡았던 주인공 ‘KEANE(킨)’!
2년 만에 발표하는 대망의 2집 앨범 [Under The Iron Sea]에서는 기타의 사용을 일절 배제한 채 일렉 피아노에 신디사이저 효과를 준 실험적인 사운드와 그루브로 꿰뚫을 수 없는 강철 바다(Iron Sea) 아래의 어두운 해저로 상징되는 복잡하고 무기력한 감정을 담았다고 한다. 현재 영국 싱글차트 3위에서 상승 중인 첫 싱글 'Is It Any Wonder?'는 이펙터를 통해 마치 기타처럼 거듭난 일렉 피아노가 리드하는 곡으로 킨의 장기인 친근한 멜로디와 환상적이고 역동적인 사운드가 돋보인다.
