One usually gets rather tired of a band after listening to their music every single day, it never happened with Keane, and as time goes by they keep getting better and better. I think the album is amazing, and Perfect Symmetry in particular is such a meaningful powerful song!!!! Tim, you trully are one of, if not THE, best songwriters of this decade. Tom as usual, amazing voice, and Richard...never before has a brit pop band had such an amazing drummer. You guys are trully Magnificent. Thank you so much for the Buenos Aires show. Love, Vicky
FANTASTIC ALBUM! I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO IT! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! I LOVE YOU TOM!!! KISSES! ANA
The overall feeling of Perfect Symmetry is as usual -- great! Some lyrics are a bit visceral for me but other than that I appreciate every song's distinct flavour. As my true favourite group, I hope Keane remain popular for many years to come!

Having now seen them live and then hearing the album once again you can pick out new bits & pieces and appreciate all the more what a great album this really is.
I love this album :D Could you release "Black Burning Heart" as a single, please?? It's an awesome song!!

all of this songs are beutiful! i can't stop listeningto them! thank you for lyrics !
wow... i can't say anything else just wow. Especially love is the end it's really beautiful.
I like all keane's songs, kisses from argentina!
Hey, I'm a guy from Guatemala, I first heard Keane this last year (2008), listened Somewhere Only We Know and said... it's really nice, saw Everybody's Changing video and got speechless... was great and brilliant and creative and original, so I got the 3 full albums [Hopes And Fears, The Iron Sea and Perfect Symmetry]. In first album they don't mention God at all... in second are some strange phrases in 'Is It Any Wonder?': "Nothing left inside this old cathedral, just the sad, lonely spires..." and 'Try Again': "God I wish you could see me now, you'd pick me up and you'd sort me out..." for me it's interesting... The last album 'Perfect Symmetry' starts 'Spiralling' with an "Oh!" as I can see, the song talks about the fame, dreams but in 2nd verse sounds like a "creator" talking to his rebel creation... "I reach for you, you slip throw my fingers..." then finish saying that the most of stuff that makes us wanna live, like being rich, powerful, famous or enamoured makes us tumble down... "Did you wanna be the president to start a war...?" nice to see how someone spit the truth in the face of the... humans? OK, but the in the song 'Perfect Symmetry' talks about this damned technology, that this world will soon disappear, of how this life makes us pay for what we do (I completely agree with it) the stuff of the needle in the groove... but I don't quite understand why they mention "Holy truth" "there's no golden Heaven" and yeah there's a whole lot of lazy people in churches that hopes that God would be the solution of everything and they won't have to fight, but is Keane talking about every religion, 'bout everyone who believes in a god? I do believe there's a creator God that already spoke 'bout salvation, love, hope... peace (sometime... somewhere...) and an unchangeable end. So take me out of my doubts: Do the band think that there's no God? Have they some kind of hate to religion or beliefs or faiths? What's really the message of the song, is it that mortal life is all that exists? I'm sorry this is too long but if someone that isn't laughing at me, can please say something about this or if someone of the band or near them can explain me what this is about of if I just exaggerate it. A Keane fan, I hope someone could write back... j:Montenegro j053montenegro@yahoo.es free_at_last777@hotmail.com thanx 4 reading
I don't have any word to say, just wonderful fantastic and every great expresion that came up with. no more no less!!!!!! just perfect Isadora from Argentina
hola escribo desde méxico para decir que KEANE es la mejor banda del mundo todas sus canciones me gustan, saben llevo escuchandolos 4 años gracias a un amigo de la preparatoria. Mis canciones favoritas son: EVERYBODY´S CAHNGING ya que me identifico mucho con ella y NOTHING IN MY WAY, espero que elsiguiente single después de PERFECT SYMMETRY sea AGAIN AND AGAIN. GRACIAS POR VENIR MUY PRONTO A MÉXICO Y POR ALEGRAR TODOS LOS DIAS DE MI VIDA.
*four weeks ago (i think) Spiralling was number 1 on Prima TV's(roumanian TV channel) music chart for a week! and this week number 1 is The Lovers Are Losing!!! so i wouldn't be surprised to see Perfect Symmetry soon in the same music chart, at the same position!!! almost everyday you can see Spiralling on MTV Romania and a commercial about your latest album!! it's interesting because in the past rarely you could see a Keane video here. *so i hope this is a good reason for you to come in Romania, more exactly in Cluj-Napoca (where i live) or somewhere near my lovely town!!:-D Happy new year!:) your faithful friend, Oana ^_^
Perfect Symmetry...such a powerful song!! Thank you guys, I get goosebumps every time I hear Perfect Symmetry or Black Burning Heart. Tim, you've outdid yourself this time, those are amasing lyrics, as always complemented by Tom's great voice and Richard's skillful drumming, but this time...I was amazed by you. See you soon boys
This re-interprets my last comment (on the song "Perfect Symmetry") after some more digestion. As a Christian I was particularly offended by the line, "spineless dreamers hide in churches" (the gospel backing vocals infer Christianity), and disagreed with some other lyrics. I don't blame Keane for expressing their views on this - I only wish they had done so without such a crude line. My love for Keane is still there, in spite of this!
I had your CD yesterday :) And now I only listen this brilliant CD ! Thank you guys :)
this is the most brilliant cd of the year waooooo!!!! the lyrics are amazing!!! just waiting for them til come to Mexico!!! February 25!!!!!!!!!!
I have the last CD and I love it ♥ I'm going to see you tom on March 7 when you come to Argentina becouse I love you and I love the band!! ♥ kisses!
i just wanna tell you the new cd is amazing guys, well done!
To clarify a previous comment, the track "Perfect Symmetry" does not contain hateful lyrics towards Christianity. The supposedly offensive line is as follows: "And maybe you’ll find life is unkind And over so soon There is no golden gate There’s no heaven waiting for you" For one thing it's introduced with a "maybe" meaning not for sure, and even if they mean there is no Heaven, not once does it say anything negative toward Christianity, nor does it belittle it any way. I'm a Christian myself, and I can say that this album certainly does not lash out at Christianity in any way. (Not to mention in Under the Iron Sea, there is a line in "Try Again," that pleas to God for help, so it's hardly fair to say that Keane is bashing God or His followers.) Anyway, this is a fantastic album. Cheers!
P.S. I thought I was posting on "Perfect Symmetry"
This song was the greatest disappointment for me. I was a huge fan of Keane and introduced their music to many friends and family until hearing these lyrics. I take deep offense as a Christian. There's nothing wrong with breaking musical etiquette but it is hard to accept that a talented, intelligent, normally good-natured band promoted these poisonous, hateful lyrics towards Christianity. I am not a fan of Keane anymore.
Hello! I know that I am the only who know the lyrics all decor of all your CDs.. LOOOL.. I love youuu so much.. when I hear your music, I am always more protected, serious!! you may think I'm kidding, but no, I mean it. I feel stronger, better. PLEASE Answer me, send me an email! kissessssss and huuggsss with love

HOLA KEANE , YO ESCRIBO SU CANCION VACANTE ME CANSE MI MANO Y LEI TODO CON MI PAPEL BLANCO Y LAPICERO (RISA) , LO SIENTO ME ESCRITO MAL LENGUAJE . .LO QUIERO MUCHO A KEANE
It's purely incredible. Best album of the year, decade and century. I think it's so good because it combines things from the first album with the second album and also has new stuff! That's probably why I love it so much.

I confess I have not appreciated this song until I just took the time to read this. The lyric is very cleverly constucted and the way it fits to the melody like a glove...Very impressive...congratulations Tim..you are a maestro!

TIM, baby, you know? With these wonderful lyrics you have touched me very very deep. You are so talented and you can express deep and true feelings that through Tom's voice make me a better and happier person. Thanks for this incredible record!! You three guys must be very proud of it. I send you a big hug and all my love . Here, in Mexico, we are waiting to see you again and sing all the new songs with you
Tim, thank you very much for permission to publish all the letters of the new disk before it reaches the shops of our country. In this way is not endless waiting.

TIM! Have to compliment you for sharing the lyrics to each and every song! Your right to express yourself artistically Is Important, and without any undue criticism or infringement on a copywright!

Thank you guys for a great new album. I have to admit that it took a little while to get used to your new sound. But the more I listen to it the greater it gets. I have listened to Perfect Symmetry so many times that I wake up with another tune on my mind every morning now. Well, that’s what I call a good start into the day! See you in Cologne soon
PERFECT ALBUM. I can't stop listening to it. I'm finding it hard to decide which is my favourite song. Kisses from Argentina.

I've had to wait a while for the album and have been particularly curious about the lyrics to You Haven't Told Me Anything, so this helped a lot. I should hopefully get the album tomorrow. I've been so tetchy all week 'cause I know it's fantastic 'cause I listened to the previews on LastFm. I just wanted the DVD Deluxe Version... hence I've had to wait longer for it :). I reckon it's worth the wait. Even if it is agonising. This album is absolutely fantastic... Keane have really brought themselves back, and I admire them so much :). GO KEANE(:
perfect symmetry is only art!!! great gays!!!!
thanks so much!!!! you just need 'my shadow' and 'time to go.' peace out...
@doktor46: si, pienso lo mismo, es un graaaaan hombre :)
