Written by Keane and produced by David Kosten and the band themselves, ‘Stupid Things’ features a masterclass in singing from Tom Chaplin on this emotionally charged tune. “Stupid Things is quite unusual for Keane,” explains songwriter and pianist Tim Rice-Oxley. “Partly, it relates to my own experiences. I’d just gone off the rails. We dig these holes for ourselves, from which it can be hard to recover. The chorus is like a litany of mistakes, but the verse is trying to express how easy it is to do that.”
Keane – Tom Chaplin, Tim Rice-Oxley, Richard Hughes and Jesse Quin- have just finished a triumphant sold out UK tour. Their two shows last month at London’s Royal Albert Hall rightly earned glowing reviews across the board.
It’s been quite a year for the band. After spending much of the summer blowing away festival crowds across Europe and wowing fans in the USA with a series of intimate shows, Keane released ‘Cause and Effect’, their fifth studio album and the first since 2013. It went straight in the UK charts at #2.
The band’s recent TV appearances have included The One Show, BBC Breakfast, Sunday Brunch and Good Morning Britain. They’ve also done radio sessions on Radio 2 for Jo Whiley and Dermot O’Leary, and on Virgin for Chris Evans.
Next month Keane tour Latin America, before heading to North America and Europe in the new year.
