Keane - This Is The Last Time

Keane is good. It's hard to explain the outsider-ish beauty in such a short piece. I chose to highlight this piece instead of the obvious choice, Somewhere Only We Know, featured in the Victoria's Secret commerical. In the milieu of pop music, I've always found the anti-rock substitution of piano for guitar a tasteful move. Ben Folds accomplished this in a tasteful manner as well. He'll probably be the subject of a piece in the near future.
The voice of Tom Chaplin has drawn comparisons to Freddie Mercury. Probably not that far off. I watched their performance on the Tonight Show in 2004 with my grandmother and she even agreed that he had a good voice. So if you've never listened to Keane and I were forced to make a poorly-thought-out comparison, I might say that they are like Coldplay if Chris Martin could sing.
