2004年，这支稍显“另类”的摇滚乐队发行了自己第一张唱片《Hopes And Fears》。或者数字更能说明问题，首张唱片创下超过500万张的销量，这一成绩打破了英国唱片最高销量的纪录，即便在遥远的美国，发行量也达到85万张。当年Keane凭借这张专辑，拿下了BritAwards最佳专辑和最佳信任两项大奖，风头一时无两。
Tom Chaplin(主唱),Richard Hughes(鼓手)以及Tim Rice-Oxley(键盘)从小一起都在英格兰的东苏塞克斯长大,组建于1997年的Keane总是做一些非常欢快的音乐,当他们组队的时候他们都刚刚进入大学,Keane最初只是做一个翻唱乐队而已,他们和吉他手Dominic Scott一起在苏塞克斯附近翻唱一些诸如Oasis,U2以及Beatles的歌曲,但这种情况没有持续太久,他们很快厌倦了总是去演奏别人的歌,于是开始向往一些他们自己的东西了. 1999年Chaplin从他在爱丁堡大学的历史专业毕业之后移居到伦敦和他的其他几个伙伴汇合,这时,Keane总算真正有机会可以做点什么了.
Keane几乎是立即就开始了他们自己的音乐录制Call Me What You Like是他们在2000年发行的第一支单曲,随后又在次年发行了单曲Wolf at The Door.然而事情并不是他们想象的进行的那么顺利,Keane前进的脚步显得很缓慢,Scott在2001年7月选择离队而另一方面,唱片公司也对他们没有太多的兴趣,因为一支钢琴主导的乐队公司认为可能Coldplay已经准备在做了.2002年12月,Keane因为公司的安排而不得不等着,相当于算个工作的暂停. Fierce Panda的Simon Williams通过一个朋友受到Keane邀请观看了他们在伦敦的巡演, Keane的演出给Williams留下了非常深刻的印象,他出资为Keane发行了他们的另一首单曲Everybody’s Changing.这张限量版的单曲出人意料的在电台上被多次播放,这时一些唱片公司又围了过来,纷纷想与这个独立摇滚三重奏乐队签约,想得到一纸为他们发行专辑的合约.
最终,Keane在2003年秋季与英国的Island公司签约并发行了他们的第4支单曲This is the Last Time.乐队的第一张专辑Hopes and Fears于2004年春季问世,专辑在发行后的第一周就直击英国排行榜首位并一举击败了Morrissey的You
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I‘m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you‘re gonna let me in
I‘m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I‘ve been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I‘m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you‘re gonna let me in
I‘m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don‘t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don‘t we go
Somewhere only we know?
Oh simple thing where have you gone
I‘m getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you‘re gonna let me in
I‘m getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute why don‘t we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don‘t we go
Somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don‘t we go
Somewhere only we know
这一首推荐的是<噩梦>.
<a bad dream>
我有点不知道该怎么来介绍这首歌.
缓慢的前奏 到最后的高唱.
如果我们从噩梦中醒来.
Why do I have to fly
Over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
And you that I defend, I do not love
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
Where do we go?
I don't even know
My strange old face
And I'm thinking about those days
And I'm thinking about those days
I wake up, it's a bad dream
No one on my side
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
To be fighting
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
Wouldn't mind it
If you were by my side
But you're long gone
Yeah you're long gone now
这首稍微有点象第2首.
<nothing in my way>
这跳路.我从未迷失自己
认真去听 你会有种在创业时的感觉.
A turning tide
Lovers at a great divide
why d you lie
When I know that you hurt inside?
And why d you say
It s just another day, nothing in my way
I don t wanna go, I don t wanna stay
So there s nothing left to say?
And why d you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don t know what you lie for anyway
Now there s nothing left to say
A tell-tale sign
You don t know where to draw the line
And why d you say
It s just another day, nothing in my way
I don t wanna go, I don t wanna stay
So there s nothing left to say
And why d you lie
When you wanna die, when you hurt inside
Don t know what you lie for anyway
Now there s nothing left to say
Well for a lonely soul,
you re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul,
you re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul,
it seems to me that you#re having such a nice time
You re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul,
you re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul,
you re having such a nice time
For a lonely soul,
it seems to me that you re having such a nice time
You re having such a nice time
中文歌词：
I hold you in my hands
A little animal
And only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
I hold you in cupped hands
And shield you from a storm
Where only some dumb idiot
Would let you go
But if I'm one thing
Then that's the one thing
I should know
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oh oh-oh-oh-oh
Can anybody find their home
Out of everyone
Can anybody find their home
Lost in the sun
Can anybody find their home
Come on, come on, come on
Can anybody find their home
Oooooh
Can anybody find their home
恩.
为方便大家 我把能翻译的贴出来吧~
You think your days are uneventful
And no one ever thinks about you
She goes her own way
She goes her own way
You think your days are ordinary
And no one ever thinks about you
But we're all the same
And she can hardly breathe without you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Well Think about the lonely people
Or think about the day she found you
Or lie to yourself
And see it all dissolve around you
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
Lonely people tumble downwards
My heart opens up to you
When she says
She has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
For you now
She says she has no time
