Keane were asked to do a Christmas song to be played on BBC Radio 1 London on Christmas Eve. The song was firstly called "The Bing Crosby Song" or "The Bing Crosby One", because of the association of Bing Crosby to Christmas. Tim Rice-Oxley, pianist and composer of the band composed it circa November 2004 It was first played at the Jo Whiley Show on Radio 1, in December 24, 2004. It was played during that week every day. Rice-Oxley had never given a meaning to this song but the lyrics express trust and love for someone. The instrumentation does not include drums but a tambourine and the piano. The song was played again on December 11 2005 on the same show, referred now by Radio 1 as a "Christmas Anthem". Gingerbread This song appeared on the credits of Strangers though is not referred on the same. On a shot of the same DVD, it's included on "The Brown's Album", dated 1996. Captain Planet It was only mentioned by Tim Rice-Oxley on the Keane official page. It was neither released nor demoed. Emily It was never officially released but a recorded version of it was available on the band's webpage on early 2000. The recording does not feature drums but only guitar and voice. There are no registers if it was ever played live. If Not You It was composed circa August 2000. It was played several times at the pubs where Keane used to play but there are no recordings of this. Maps It was composed circa July 2000 and first played at the Monarch pub. It was released as a demo on September 14 2000 on the Keane Official Page. More Matey A screenshot of the Strangers DVD reveals this already existed before the creation of the band. It appears on an album titled The Brown's Album, crediting Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin and dated 1996. The name appears as Matey Melon. The song was mixed in March 2001 as More Matey to be released on Wolf at the Door but for some reason it didn't make it. The recording distributed by the site in early 2001 features only piano and vocals but an earlier 1999 version performed live included drums and guitar as well. New One It was composed circa 2000 Length: 4:26 The Happy Soldier Considered the most rare recording of Keane ever made, this song was leaked from a sampler CD from the James Sanger recording sessions and is believed to had been composed in 2001. Keane specifically doesn't want this recording to be distributed as they say now they have a very different perspective that would be destroyed with the song's theme and lyrics. Some fans who actually found the recording keep distributing it between themselves eventually. Curiously, it includes all intrumentation used by Keane since 2001 (the distorsion piano sounds created by Rice-Oxley in 2005) excepting the piano. The music genre becomes unpredictable through all the song. The Silence Of An Alien Tom Chaplin mentions this song on Strangers, with him providing the lyrics and Tim the music. Chaplin mentions he composed his first song when he was about 13 years old. As this was probably first Keane song ever it could have been composed circa 1991. | |||||||
