Somewhere only we know


"Somewhere Only We Know" is a song by the English rock band Keane. It was released as a single in 2004 and later included on their debut album, "Hopes and Fears". The song was written by Keane members Tim Rice-Oxley, Tom Chaplin, and Richard Hughes. Interestingly, the band almost didn't include it on their album as they considered it too simple and catchy. However, upon its release, "Somewhere Only We Know" became a massive success, reaching the top 3 in the UK Singles Chart and receiving widespread acclaim. Its beautiful melody, characterized by piano-driven pop-rock, perfectly captures the bittersweet sentiment of longing and nostalgia.
