Sobre el álbum
El álbum que lo empezó todo, "Hopes and Fears", es una de las obras de debut más exitosas y definitorias del pop-rock británico del siglo XXI, y la pieza inaugural de la discografía de Keane. Lanzado en 2004, este trabajo presentó al mundo a una banda con un sonido único y reconocible al instante: un pop de melodías épicas y emotivas, pero con la particularidad de estar liderado por el piano en lugar de las guitarras.
Su impacto fue masivo e inmediato. La producción del álbum es impecable, creando paisajes sonoros grandilocuentes que envuelven la increíble voz de Tom Chaplin, uno de los vocalistas más dotados de su generación. La composición, a cargo del pianista Tim Rice-Oxley, es de una calidad melódica extraordinaria, creando himnos que conectaron con millones de personas.
El disco es una colección perfecta de singles que se convirtieron en clásicos atemporales. "Somewhere Only We Know" es una de las baladas más icónicas de la década, mientras que "Everybody's Changing" y "This Is the Last Time" son ejemplos perfectos de este pop melancólico y, a la vez, eufórico. El álbum se convirtió en uno de los más vendidos de la historia en el Reino Unido.
"Hopes and Fears" es una creación notable del pop. Es un álbum que no solo le valió a Keane dos premios BRIT, sino que también se convirtió en la banda sonora de la vida de toda una generación. Su belleza y su poder emocional siguen tan vigentes hoy como el día de su lanzamiento.

- Somewhere only we know3:57
I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know? Oh simple thing where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go? Ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know? - This is the last time
This is the last time That I will say these words I remember the first time The first of many lies Sweep it into the corner Or hide it under the bed Say these things they go away But they never do Something I wasn't sure of But I was in the middle of Something I forget now But I've seen too little of The last time You fall on me for anything you like Your one last line You fall on me for anything you like And years make everything alright You fall on me for anything you like And I no I don't mind This is the last time That I will show my face One last tender lie And then I'm out of this place So tread it into the carpet Or hide it under the stairs Say that some things never die Well I tried and I tried Something I wasn't sure of But I was in the middle of Something I forget now But I've seen too little of The last time You fall on me for anything you like Your one last line You fall on me for anything you like And years make everything alright You fall on me for anything you like And I no I don't mind The last time You fall on me for anything you like Your one last line You fall on me for anything you like And years make everything alright You fall on me for anything you like And I know I don't mind - Bend & break

Letra
Well it's a lonely road that you have chosen Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore And it's a long time since your heart was frozen Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore For a moment your eyes open and you know All the things I ever wanted you to know I don't know you, and I don't want to Till the moment your eyes open and you know That it's a lonely place that you have run to Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore And it's a lonely end that you will come to Morning comes and you don't want to know me anymore For a moment your eyes open and you know All the things I ever wanted you to know I don't know you, and I don't want to Till the moment your eyes open and you know For a moment your eyes open and you know All the things I ever wanted you to know I don't know you, and I don't want to Till the moment your eyes open and you know - She has no time5:45
Letra
You think your days are uneventful And no one ever thinks about you She goes her own way She goes her own way You think your days are ordinary And no one ever thinks about you But we're all the same And she can hardly breathe without you She says she has no time For you now She says she has no time Well, think about the lonely people Or think about the day she found you Or lie to yourself And see it all dissolve around you She says she has no time For you now She says she has no time For you now She says she has no time Lonely people tumble downwards And my heart opens up to you When she says she has no time For you now She says she has no time For you now She says she has no time - Can' t stop now

Letra
I hold you in my hands A little animal And only some dumb idiot Would let you go But if I'm one thing Then that's the one thing I should know Can anybody find their home Out of everyone Can anybody find their home I hold you in cupped hands And shield you from a storm Where only some dumb idiot Would let you go But if I'm one thing Then that's the one thing I should know Can anybody find their home Out of everyone Can anybody find their home Lost in the sun Can anybody find their home Come on, come on, come on Can anybody find their home Oh oh-oh-oh-oh Can anybody find their home Out of everyone Can anybody find their home Lost in the sun Can anybody find their home Come on, come on, come on Can anybody find their home Oooooh Can anybody find their home ... - Untitled 15:36
Letra
A house on fire A wall of stone A door that once was open An empty face and empty bones Who ate your heart? You're cold inside You're not the one I hoped for I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side The wind wouldn't blow me home To lie in your heart of hearts Will I ever see you again And lie in your heart of hearts Who ate your heart? You're cold inside You're not the one I hoped for I'll see you on the other side I'll see you on the other side The wind wouldn't blow me home To lie in your heart of hearts Will I ever see you again And lie in your heart of hearts - Bedshaped4:37
Many's the time I ran with you down The rainy roads of our old town Many the lives we lived in each day And buried altogether Don't laugh at me Don't look away You'll follow me back With the sun in your eyes And on your own Bedshaped And legs of stone You'll knock on my door And up we'll go In white light I don't think so But what do I know? What do I know? I know! I know you think I'm holding you down And I've fallen by the wayside now And I don't understand the same things as you But I do Don't laugh at me Don't look away You'll follow me back With the sun in your eyes And on your own Bedshaped And legs of stone You'll knock on my door And up we'll go In white light I don't think so But what do I know? What do I know? I know! And up we'll go In white light I don't think so But what do I know? What do I know? I know!
