@hvitlys let me add more thankful notes about the language, each one for gallego, and castellano, both used by Tom Chaplin in Keane Tour through Spain ;)
algun dia me voy a escapar a inglaterra!!!!!!!ya van a ver!!!!!!!!keane
que emocion x Uds.. a veeerrr lo voy a buscar x el ARES!! jaa ya esta en descargaa!! kisss Eve!!
I'm also looking forward for more. Hope for a gig soon (Barcelona)! I am really grateful that you (Tom) spoke Catalan to the audience in Barcelona (Nov. 2009) and that you addressed the audience with respect. It's not everyday that a band addresses an audience with respect (both with the language used and the attitude), even if that might sound obvious - it's not. Thanks so much! You made one of my fave gigs in 2009. I attended as press, and was positively surprised that your songs did not sound depressing like in the albums. I'm also happy that you prefer using trains rather than flying. I, in my ex-environmental organisation, tried to use train transport as well many times, but my bosses made it impossible for me to use train instead of flight when reasonable. I'm glad at least in the UK people are taking it seriously and traveling train instead of plane - despite the immediate requirements today's world asks for. In spite of everything, I don't intend to sound serious: good song, looking forward to a gig, and thanks for your Catalan in Barcelona - for your knowledge of the place, and for being polite. Cheers, you Brits and I look forward to seeing you live again in my hometown! - Hugs from an over 30 years-old Catalan.
I love you tom!

SORRY BUT I DON´T LIKE THIS SONG......FOR THE FIRST TIME.
omg how can i miss this Thanks Keane you no how to cheer me but on the right days :) Xxxx Love you Keane xxxx Leanne xxx
Really great song !!!! I LOVE it ! A perfect mix of 2 styles !!! Lovely ! Mariexxx
even if that to which you have accustomed there is difficult to equalize, it steals wind of joy in this Clear Skies!. It will surely be a hit single.
Love it xxx
And now I hear a minute. haha Thanks. I'm not sure what I think about the song on this moment.
Stop for a minute is a great song!! :) I like it so much!. Kisses. Tatiana ♥
Bom Dia, Tim, Tom & Rich. I've just heard SFAM on BBC1, it's a lovely song. I thought the dual Tom & K'naan fantastic. Tom has a powerful voice ever and K'naan has a sweet one. You're terrific Keane! With love, Regina.
Hi, i loved it was different but it sounds cool.!!!!! Thanks for your good music, although it was very early to listen it I think it was great Now i'm gonna keep sleeping Bye
Well, SFAM sounds OK, but I think it's much better CS. I like the final rap and Tom's voice, but in general it's a little of a summer song (easy listening). I expected more. And I'll expect more,... maybe "Looking back". Thank you for the song. From Galicia with love.
Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that beautiful song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! keane congratulations on the excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
barbi: I think exactly the same, I liked more clear skies
I like it, have to listen too it more, prob like Clear Skies more though.
I just missed it!! I made a cup of coffee for myself in the kitchen.. AAAAAGH I only heard the last 10 seconds.
Well... Although it's very contagious sound and the lyrics are beautiful, I loved Clear Skies much better :P
I expected more , but it's great (;
Like it. It´s nice and Toms voice is amazing as always but I think I do prefer Clear Skies by far. Anyway I have to listening to loads of times. Hope Spanish radios will play it sometime..
Stop For A Minute an absolutely great song. I'm really in love with the new songs.Tom forever! he's the very Best! oh oh!! Congratulations FROM BRAZIL;
@rory-uk: Agree. it's probably going to be a #1 in the summer charts .
though clear skies would make a better single so far, just the general mainstream public wouldn't make it number 1
Interesting, though maybe a bit too close to mainstream? Would definitely make a number 1 in the top 40 - make sure this is released as a single
well that was some horrible computer drums...
playing! in bbc 1
it's coming on BBC 1!!!!
NOW!!
Yay - it's about to start :)
Still waitin here, i never listen to the radio the waiting is killin me too Dra_House.

And maybe we can listen online...here too ! http://nineplanets.org/luna.html Anyway, I'm sure it's good because K'Naan is a clever boy who wouldn't contribute to this kind of project with just anybody !!!
Clear Skies reminds me of the BO of the movie Thomas Crown affair with Steve Mc Queen - a music by Michel Legrand - it's training. When I was with my rugbymen friends they used to say when things go well on tutoie les anges and so Tom Tu tutoies les anges?
Aguante Keane, vamos, hay que darle animos ya que son los mejores, sigan adelante!!!!! Saludos desde Ciudad de Guatemala.....
I'm excited for this launch, will be 06:30 am, but never mind... CLEAR SKIES new song is great! I love it! Kisses to my dear group KEANE. HEIDI FROM BOGOTA - COLOMBIA

@ Winter , You are not the only one who did not care for the song. It is better than the songs from P.S. but a far cry from their first two albums. but, hopefully they are heading in the right direction. It's not the Keane I have always loved.
oohhh! it will be 5:30am here in México! But it doesn't matter!! i will be online just to hear it!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot guys!!! Lots of love from México!! xxxxxx

Keane fans are very KEEN to help people, so if you miss Stop For A Minute on Thursday, someone's bound to have recorded it and will have put it on 'Youtube.co.uk'. They did with the wonderful Clear Skies, after all.
2 new songs in one week that's what i call cool!
Sanyo?
I cant wait to hear that :D
I stop more than a minute tomorrow just to hear Keane & K'naan on BBC 1, 2 and 6. I'm sure we have a very special Thursday. It's kind of km.com let us know the correct time wherever we are, thanks. I heard Clear Skies over and over again. Beijos, Regina.
I have to set the alarm to wake up. I want hear this song. And please take into account a México on your tour of NIGHT TRAIN, okay? MEXICO
OOH NOT!! For this hour I am going to be in the school! Do not be able to be!!! Good I am going to have to see the repetition on Friday ¬¬. God keane these last days the news was really exciting!

Argentina Mendoza Jime*

WHOOOOOO! AWESOMNESS!
Great news! Clear skies and now Stop for a minute : I've never seen such a great week !
"Clear Skies" is fabolous!!! I can't wait to hear "Stop for a minute"!
Omgggggg!! what a great week eh? ...first, Clear Skies and now this... yeah! of course, i'm gonna be there to listen to Stop For A Minute! :D ... thanks guys! have a great time, love from Mexico! ;)
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ******** yeah, "It's all very exciting..." great! I am looking forward to listening to it! Thank you for the news! XXXXXXXXXXXXX
Exciting week this is. Can't wait, Clear Skies is brilliant, I think, so I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Dag, dag!
@hopes - finally someone who shares my opinion! Clear skies is OK, though i haven't managed to have a full listen yet apart from the one time. it's just... boring! Don't get me wrong I love keane but I'm being honest - this song feels old and not in a good nostalgic way, in a oh-I-heard-that-before-let's-change-station kind of way... BUT I'm still looking forward to Stop for a Minute- it sounds like it's going to be a great song (fingers crossed!). And thanks km for all the detail :)
Yay!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! Will be at 8:30 am here in Paraguay! I'll have to get up early...But it's KEANE! I'm so exited! Can't wait...besos! =)
That's Great! I just wish that they'd play it on american radio too!! LOVE YOU KEANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this rate we're all gonna have heard the whole album before it's released. Oh well, i just pray that it's better than Clear Skies as i didn't really enjoy that at all.
oh its to exciting,I am like a child at Christmas, Keane forever I already like it by the way, its Keane how can you not like anything of theirs, I love them so much.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
