Your Eyes Open - "It's a slightly unusual song for Keane... It was basically
saying (it's a bit like Can't Stop Now... it's about eventually waiting and
waiting and eventually saying "well fuck you then, and sooner or later you'll
realise that we might have had something good". It's quite a simple song in a
way. It is just a conflict I guess, it is a paradox thing where you can be
completely mad about someone and sort of desperately want them to feel the same
way about you, and yet they don't and eventually... It's a classic thing
really, isn't it? I probably had different pre-occupations, I mean that's
definitely about a particular person. Again it's a classic Keane thing where it
doesn't quite add up - where I would have loved to have said it to that person
and yet at the same time, I think what I was really [...] willing myself to
actually feel that way... whereas in fact I don't think I ever did really feel
that way. So maybe the whole song is an attempt at pulling the wool over your
own eyes." - Tim - Strangers DVD
