Have any Keane songs ever been remixed?
Yes! As well as loads of unofficial fan remixes, here are those which have been officially approved by the band.
- DJ Shadow - We Might As Well Be Strangers
- Nathan Thomas - Your Eyes Open (Mo Mental Mix)
- Universal Constructors - Rubbernecking (unusual concoction mix). This remix of the early Keane song Rubbernecking was done when Tim worked with Tom Walker of Universal Construtors in 2000 and agreed to allow the remix to happen.
There is another remix of it, but I certainly haven't come across it... (Source) - Tall Paul - Is It Any Wonder?
- Tall Paul - Crystal Ball
What is the "Special Edition" Hopes and Fears?
What is the music after "Put It Behind You" on Under The Iron Sea?
The track "The Iron Sea" was omitted from many international releases of Under The Iron Sea, so that Universal could label the UK edition as a "Special Edition" of the album. The band however consider "The Iron Sea" to definately be a part of Under The Iron Sea!
However, the song "The Iron Sea" does feature after the end of track 7 (Put It Behind You) on international versions, although is not listed in the tracklistings.
It has no vocals, although some websites mistaken list the lyrics for "Beyond The Sea" by Bobby Davrin ("Somewhere beyond the sea").
How much are my Keane CDs, records and promos worth?
