Somewhere Only We Know

Do you still need to think? Yeah, please.

Somewhere Only We Know, that song.

I

think your voice would be... beautiful even if it's not our like a version i think a cover of that would be well uh within our range and repertoire

Some of that is her own doing.

She obviously famously covered that Keane song, Somewhere Only We Know, which, correct me if I'm wrong, I think got to number one in the UK or was definitely a top five hit.

It was for John Lewis' Christmas advert, which is a huge tradition we have here every year.

And a couple of years later, she was on radio and talking about how she doesn't listen to that anymore and she kind of wishes that she never did it.

I think I know we've discussed it at length, but not everyone would know the MySpace story to Lily's journey.

And it's really interesting just going back and listening to what she was posting online at the time.

Yeah, she also has, you mentioned that later she does a cover of Keen's Somewhere Only We Know.

In 2006, she actually does a really nice cover of their song Everybody's Changing, which is, I think, a B-side to Littlest Things.

Here are the tracks which mean most to him.

The track that I have inherited is Somewhere Only We Know by Keane.

This track means a lot to me.

So I believe it came out in 2004, which was quite, for me, quite an important year in that I had just, well, I had started doing a PhD in geophysics, of all things.

And one of my PhD peers at the time, Lindsay Smith, played this track to me.

And I remember thinking, oh, this is such a great song.

And sort of from then onwards, I was a big fan of Somewhere Only We Know.

And then the Keen album that it's from called Hopes and Fears, I then bought and listened to pretty much nonstop.
