Keane Edit Meaning

1.

Amazing, incredible, a breath of fresh air in a world full over over-exposed pop stars who don't even write their own music and spend more time on their appearance than their songs. Piano based with awesome vocals, it took a few times to really get into it, but I absolutely LOVE Keane now.

Keane freaking ROCKS!

2.

A British band that is taking over the Western Hemisphere (that would be us for those who aren't so good at geography) because their music is so amazing and brilliant. Their song "Somewhere only we Know" was the #1 song for weeks on Z104 (WQRX Washington) because it is so perfect. The band members may not gorgeous, but they have wonderful British accents and are so cute and so alluring as musicians and people. And, if everyone wasn't so closed-minded about what's cool and what's not (it's about time to make your own descisions people...), Keane would have already made it big-time in America like they have in Britain!

Person 1: Turn that up! It's Keane on the radio! They are my favorite band!

Person 2: What?

Person 1: Just listen...

Person 2: Wow. It is really cool. Are they British?

Person 1: Yeah

Person 2: That's hot!

5.

To write or broadcast in a maudlin, excessively emotional way. Word coined in honour of the BBC's Feargal Keane. Similar to keening, only more sanctimonious.

A hideous keaning sound filled the airwaves.

In this issue of the Independent, Robert Fisk keanes about damage to Hizbollah. Luckily, this is hidden behind a subscribers-only firewall in the online version.

See write, journalism, broadcast

6.

A British band consisting of three men from the mecca of ennui that is Hastings in Sussex. Their lead singer looks like a small-mouthed hobbit, and they write piano-based tunes with trite lyrics that resemble Coldyplay, David Grey, and British bands in the early twentieth century who fall under the umbrella of the new acoustic movement. Not to be confused with footballer Roy Keane.

Lead singer Tom Chaplinhas a nice voice, but unfortunately it is wasted on dull songs that attempt to soar but never really take off. Their biggest single is probably Everybody's Changing, used as Eastenders background music, and their first single was released on Indie record label Fierca Panda. Who consequently let them be signed by a major label, Island, as they realised they were a bunch of cobblers.

"Like a lot of people, we've gone into making music because we're not terribly brilliant at expressing things. None of us are your bog-standard, confident, outgoing rockstar types." - Pianist Tim Oxley-Rice, quoted from drownedinsound.

7.

A band that have been hailed in NME (and other 'trendy' magazines) for being 'orignal'. Yup, they're original, just like EVERY other dull indie band that's emerged over the past few years that releases songs that all sound the same, so teenagers can listen to them to sound 'cool', and 'alternative'. Its bands like Keane that give indie a bad name. Gone are the days of decent indie band like The Smiths, here are the days of bands like Keane.

By the time they release their second album, all the kids will have found some other equally dull band to go 'OMFG, ORGINAL!' over. They are just a fad.

Trendy: OMG, Did yuo see Keane playing with coldplay? Those bands are SO orignal, and sound nothing like each other!

Me: I hate you with a burning passion.
