Songfacts®:

  • This mid-tempo '80s flavored synth-pop number is the first track Keane have ever recorded with songwriter/pianist Tim Rice-Oxley singing lead vocals. The band's usual singer, Tom Chaplin, told Consequence of Sound why he didn't record the vocals for this song: "Had we gone into the studio intending to make a full album, I don't think we would have given Tim the job of singing. But because of the way we made this record, we just ran out of time to record my vocals for it. The longer we lived with the demo vocal Tim had done for it, the more we liked it. I really love that song and love the spirit in which it came about as well."
  • Chaplin told Consequence of Sound about the song: "I think it's a very sad and powerful song about that sense a lot of people get of clinging on to old romances. It's a sense of nostalgia or melancholy about the past."
