Songfacts®:

  • This song was written by Tim Rice-Oxley (piano) for Tom Chaplin (vocals). Tom had a crush on this one girl, that just didn't seem to care about him. So Tim, the good friend he is, wanted to help him out, so he wrote this song for him. >>>

  • Tanya from Rotterdam, NetherlandsOkay, the story is: 'We went to school together, and Tom, who's the singer, used to be looked after by an old lady called Cherry Keane. We thought it was a great name, and we had a gig and we needed a name, so we thought we'd use that. People got the name mixed up with Cherokee, so we decided to lose the first name and just go with Keane. It's just a name, it means something to us.' (says Richard in an interview february 19th 2004)
