Yes, it's time for the third and final batch of Tim's answers to your questions. Huge thanks again to the hundreds of you who sent in questions, sorry we couldn't ask all of them. And thanks, too, to Tim for the answers.
Do you like and practise any other Art like painting, sculpture....?
LN
Tim replies: I would love to, but I rarely get round to it. I’m not great at drawing or painting, although I do enjoy both. I’d really like to get into screenprinting. I might go on a course once this touring cycle is over.
Where did you met Jesse?
Sharon Müller:) from Mexico
Tim replies: He was on the crew for one of our arena tours, helping out Colin and Ant.
Keane recently worked with the Canadian-Somaili rapper K'naan. Given the diversity of your backgrounds, did you experience any problems communicating your ideas, or is music truly the "universal language?"
Elizabeth from Seattle, USA
Tim replies: In my experience good musicians tend to have a mutual respect for each others' ways of working. With K’Naan it felt form the start that we were all excited to be in a room together and there was a great sense of possibilities. It’s certainly true that some (though not all) of his history and cultural background is wildly different from ours, but it’s funny how people from all over the world and all kind of different backgrounds tend to feel passionately about the same things. The songs we worked on were about quite basic aspects of the so-called "human condition" – time, fear, love, regret. He’s a cool guy and very easy-going, but also very observant and incisive in his lyrics.
Hi Tim. I really liked your cover of 'These days'. It's fantastic. Are thinking of doing another?
Katia from Peru
Tim replies: Thanks! Maybe I’ll do another...I have a couple in mind. But there never seems to be enough time...
Hello tim. you write such amazing words, i wondered if family & friends expect something poetic on their birthday cards other than "from tim"
thanks always donna x
Tim replies: Probably! Unfortunately I’m always terrible at soundbites and saying the right thing generally. That’s probably why I started writing songs. If I had my way I would probably only communicate in songs. I could be like Julie Andrews or something, breaking into song whenever I have something significant to say. (Julie Andrews-related trivia factette – our first album was nearly called A Spoonful Of Sugar – Tom’s idea.)
Is there any Bside song that you really think it should have been put on the album? so you kinda regret it that that particular song was "only" a Bside song and you like "oh! i should`ve put this one instead of this one"?? coz all Keane's Bside songs are also wonderful!!
Have a spectacular Day!!
Febri Feya from Indonesia
Tim replies: Well, there are a few B-sides that we all really love. Snowed Under is one of those. Fly To Me is one of my favourite Keane songs. I’ve always liked Thin Air too. But I wouldn’t necessarily put them on an album. I think it’s good to have a few gems that are hidden away and a bit harder to discover.
Have you ever been driving down the road and had to pull over because of an inspiration to write?
Maggie USA
Tim replies: Yes, often. I normally call my own phone and leave a message.
Have you ever Googled yourself?
Brenda from Buenos Aires
Tim replies: When I read your question I thought I’d give it a try. There’s a lot of nonsense of the internet! My Wikipedia page looks like it’s pretty hit-and-miss. People tend to conflate different events and stories to make one neat story, and it all gets a bit confused.
Hello Mr. Rice-Oxley! What is your favorite game? (I mean anything like a board game, card game, mind game, etc.)
Mia (Portland, Oregon)
Tim replies: MarioKart Wii is pretty brilliant....I could lose days playing that. I’ve never been very into board games or cards, although I used to play vingt-et-un (pontoon) with my Dad when I was a kid. He had this great old set of chips, and it felt like we were playing in some smokey club in India in the 1930s.
My question is simple~Do you have a favorite book that you read over and over again?
Ellie~Charlotte, NC
Tim replies: Two books I read over and over again are Revolution In The Head by Ian MacDonald and U2 At The End Of The World by Bill Flanagan. They’re both utterly brilliant. Another is Any Human Heart by William Boyd, but I find that one so emotional that I have to have a long break between readings! I’ve read Asterix In Belgium quite a few times too.
Comments
I love Keane's music since ther 1st album came out in USA. Your lyrics are so powerful, Tom's voice makes everything came to live. I lived in NW Pennsylvania - never had a chance to go to see your concert (so sorry). Always busy with family 7 work. Then I moved to Philadelphia and lived there for 3.5 yrs. In 2009, you had a concert there - and again, sadly I couldn't make it. That week was my husband's graduation week from medical school, and that particular night we had to attend the graduation ball. I just couldn't miss his big night. I'm so frustraded because probably I'm the only Keane fan that had never went to any of Keane's concert. Now I'm living in Hawaii (my husband's duty station) until summer 2012, and I don't see Hawaii on Keane's tour schedule, or is Hawaii too small to play a concert for? Anyway, your music inspired me to my first love, art. You don't know how your music changed my life for the better. For that, I want to thank all of you (Tim, Tom and Richard) very much. Cheers! June. PS: Now that I'm a full time housewife, I promised I will go to see at least one of your future concerts. And to meet you all in person and take some pics together is not going to hurt either. Alright, I'm going now. BEST OF LUCK!
I love Fly To Me. Ithink it's a brilliant song to sing...
i love reading Asterix too, Tim!!!!! Hehe...i was soooo shocked when i read that part.
tim ... tell me.you love me?
*************TIM thanks for your time and patience to respond the question of fans, you´re very kind really. I hope that you can come again to Chile, could be in "Festival de Viña" perhaps?****************************** :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::Kisses from south of Chile::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ::::::::::::::::::

# Happy Father's Day Tim # Best wishes from BRAZIL #
Hey TIM!! Happy Father's Day :) I think you must be a very funny dad... Your family is so lucky :) A HUGE HUG FROM CHILE :)
Hi Tim aww those Q&A are great (didn't answer mine but maybe next time) have a lovely fathers Day! Bye xx Love you Keane xx Leanne
By the way I'm not making fun of English people. There are stiff upper lip people everywhere. It's just that the expression is English. I think they have a good way of expressing many things. It's easy to get the picture right away.
I see that crystaldoll recommended you to read Asterix in Britain, Tim. In French it's even more hilarious. The English tags are translated as "n'est-il pas", very funny. It should be "n'est-ce pas", but we lose the stiff upper lip connotation.
Happy Father's Day Tim! Joyeuse fêtes des pères! It's also the "fête de la musique". I'm amazed at the way it has become such a huge phenomenon- it started in Paris in 1982. That was a very good idea of Mr Jack Lang. I wish you all nice celebrations at the Hurricane Festival!
Tim, aunque no tiene mi firma no importa, porque sí respondiste mi pregunta acerca del final de la canción "The Lovers Are Losing" (alguien lo hizo antes que yo). Ahora sé que dice "Get some Under Pressure-style". Gracias. Tim, though not my signature does not matter, because it answered my question about the end of the song "The Lovers Are Losing" (someone did it before me). Now I know that says "Get some Under Pressure-style." Thank you.
I 'M REALLY UPSET BEAUSE KM.COM DIDN'T CHOOSE MY QUESTION , PERHAPS THEY CONSIDERED IT STUPID OR SILLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A REALLY A GOOD ONE. THANKS ANYWAY. AH!!, TIM IF YOU'RE READING THIS, PLEASE ASK FOR IT (maybe it will be imposible, but it's nice to try don't you think?). IT'S A GOOD ONE. REGARDS. INÉS FROM MENDOZA ARGENTINA
TIM~ I Really identified with your answer to the b-side Q.! Especially the very last sentence! Perfect answer on that one! Also! Fine reading list you've got there! Bill Flanagan's book('U2-End o' the World') Is Fantastic! I have read just about All of what you listed already. Interesting! Nice to know that there is another person who shares some similar interests in this regard! Have FUN on Tour! LOVE!, A.!
You should read "Asterix in Britain", that would be extremely hilarious to you =D hahahaha
screenprinting?? isn't that what Sanna Annukka does?? maybe you can ask her to teach you, that makes sense...... I’ve read Asterix as well ! ! I think my brother owns almost all of them. they are good ! =)
tim great(Y
Hey Tim! This is not related to this post, but I just wanna say thank you for your recommending Grizzly Bear to me on YRock radio takeover! I totally felt in love with them after you played "Two Weeks" for us. And I went to their concert last night! wowww! It was a blast! They're sooooo cooool!!!!! I enjoyed the show so much! It was all because of you, if you didn't choose to play "Two Weeks" I would totally miss last night's show! So thank you again Tim, my radar, my compass!
Thanks! And thanks for not naming H&F "A Spoonful of Sugar", a bit too..um..sweet. Funny, though!
Wikipedia? I can explain that. My bad. See, I tried to keep private Keane lives separate from professional ones so... at the end I had to put up with the Keane history all over again. It ended up a mess, and the thing is as many people often add a line there, it becomes really annoying to go and try to fix it. I'll do my best for the next time you go and take a look :D
A Spoonful Of Sugar – Tom’s idea........wow! that's.... haha , however... thank tim for answering these great questions from fans who live around the world... =D Thanks for the interesting and good questions!!! Though mine was not picked up, but one of them has expressed my feeling, thank you!! and I enjoy them a lot, which makes me know more about Keane!!! Syrinx from Guangzhou China... Keane, visit Guangzhou and Taipei, please... I live in Guangzhou and Rainborn8228 live in Taiwan! Don't forget us, the lovely fans in CHINA...
Tim you can change your hit and miss wikipedia profile if you wish so.....oh, oh.....Bad idea .......H A P P Y F A T H E R `S D A Y (Frankie you are in the first row!). Kisses from Spain
still buzzing that you picked my question whoooooop!!! im so happy!! please come back to sheffield someday - we love you guys xx donna
Thank you, Tim, you are so cute
Hiya TOM, Weekend on the Horizon! Hope its good4u... :) Rachel ...♥...
Thanks Richard.. ! Great interview !!! TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
@ Timmy l Love you (L) =Lily= from Argentina...
I return to read the interview and every time I find you more nearby. Thank you for sharing your scanty free time with the fans. Really I sent questions and, though I am slightly sad for not having the answers, if that I feel happy to congratulate the boys who have been chosen! Spoonfool of Suggar!!! OMG .en what Tom would be thinking hahaha! Really the B-sides are gems, and it(he) would be wonderful them to be able to have to all in a CD ... but your you decide ... your you are the chief! I would like to know, why always you say " It is one of my Keane's favorite songs ", when actually they are YOUR songs, since you are the composer, " why not to say " it is one of MY songs ... " are you perhaps too modest? So many are the things that I want to know, that I will have to wait up to the next one Q&A, which I hope is prompt! There I leave the first one of many What is True and legend in your relation with Chris Martin?like as you'd sais ,there are so many speculation about this in Internet, which would be good to know the truth of one of the protagonists. And, has it been useful what you have studied in the University, in the moment to compose?. Why I listened to Keane in SOWK in 2002 in the MTV, (and it conquered me really and made myself a fan since then), when the song went out with Fierce Panda's stamp in 2003, and in 2004 with Island? This year was the first time to that I listen you live in Barcelona!!! Well. I will wait even for the next one to try it again. Thank you again for your time and your sincerity ..... xx
Hello Keane ! Wishing you a very happy and sweet day.Make the festival a great show!
Please go to Vienna. Sacher tortes & Strauss waltzes await you. What more could anyone want?
Cool. Northwest US Keane fans had (at least) 3 questions asked of TR-O. Way to go, kids. (Ellen Y. - I thought your tooth brush question was funny & original.)
The last part already?? :( It would've been great if Hopes and Fears was called A Spoonful of Sugar. I loved Mary Poppins. I've seen it over and over again! Thanks for great quations everyone and Tim, thanks for answering the questions! X
I've just checked A spoonful of Sugar. That's not the song that I've remembered most from the film, which I like very much. Well, the title sounds strange out of context but the song gives an interesting perspective on work. I wish everyone a spoonful of sugar!
Good morning! Have a festive festival, or make it festive, we can count on you. :D
TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD YEAH I'm so happy! WOO PLAN ♥♥♥
♪ ♫ ♪ Thank you for your answers Tim, and for your time, it means so much to me, to us.. You're so nice to share with us your memories and experiences. I wish I could ask you which one of the question you have received made you laugh the most...but I think I have to wait next "ask a question" session.... (I hope very soon!!!) Concerning b-sides I would suggest -and as I can see I'm not the only one- to seriously think to release a cd. I'm sure it would also be a good way to avoid fans to share poor-quality/illegal mp3's, because some of your old cd's are really hard to find! I would also love to hear new covers from you. "These days" was really wonderful, I have always loved your voice but I have to admitt that you really improved a lot....why don't you play the guitar on stage, sometimes? =D I'm a little sorry you did not answer any of my questions, but I understand...you received a lot of e_mails from fans (which I would like to thank for the nice questions posed). A very big hug from the...Italian contingent, hope to see you very soon. lots of Love ♫ Simona, Texas/Italy
Thank you so much for answering the questions Tim, they were brilliant!!! I love you guys so much! Best wishes always from Jessica in L.A.
a spoonful of sugar, eh? Great now i have that song stuck in my head lol :P . thanks for answering our questions Tim :D we really appreciate it! and thanks to the KM.com folks for reading through all those questions :)
Yeah! I googled Tim Rice-Oxley and I foung on Wikipedia that yo like "tapioca". Since this is a very appreciated tipical food in Brazil's northeast, how did you get into it? Is that information true? So funny... I live here in Brazil and I must confess that I don't remember eating tapioca. Thanx again for the answers. Waiting for Tom's and Rich's rounds...
if Tim googled himself, I'd be blushed when he finds my blog dedicated to him! Great part! Cheers from Peru, Isaxx
Thanks Tim!!! Greetings from PERU
Thanks Tim, for all the answers and I'm so glad to know that Snowed Under is one of your favourites, it's one of mine too, hope to hear it live someday. I loved to know also about the books you read over and over ;-) All my best for you ever, Mr. Rice-Oxley! The Frog Prince Squad from Brasil loves you!
thanks again tim,and km.com
Thank you for those answers Tim - I really enjoyed reading your thoughts and opinions. Talking of which is there any possibility that Tom could do a 'What do you think of...' no we haven't forgotten!! Have a lovely Father's Day Tim. Love to all, J xxx
Tim, Brazil loves you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow..! love you tim..! thanks
Uhm, good call on H&F, Tim, good call. A bit suspicious otherwise with Tom's title....
LOVE THE QUESTIONS!! you guys are briliant!! Come to sunny Florida if you have the chance!!!! :D love from the us - savie.
Hi, my name is Guillermo, I'm from Monterrey Nuevo Leòn Mèxico... The concert that you gave us that february 28th was great... I couldn't believe that I was there listening to all of you playing in front of us... I beg you to forgive my english ... I'm studying english... Well, I relly hope all of you read this... Thanks for your music. All of your albums are great, but the first one for me is the best... You should make another like that one. PLEASE, if you read it let me know...
Thank you Tim. Nice that you mentioned Snowed Under! It's my favorite Keane song since I found it on youtube once! It was a pure surprise and I can't stop listening to it since!!! It always makes my day when I'm down, wriding on the bus back home from university and looking at bored faces. - I think I have to get this "Any Human Heart", the title sounds promising, maybe they have it in German, uh? I loved to see you in Cologne!!!! You didn't seem to notice anything else than your piano, loved it! /-) Oh, if I ever could play it like you do... You are really unique on the piano, I haven't ever seen anyone else rocking with the keyboads. Thank you once again for the interesting answers and, always, for your music!!!! Everyone here loves you, and I will always support you as long as you're here with us!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG!!!!!! Never in a million years did I think my question would get asked!!!!! I'm soooo excited I can't sit still!!!! Thank you soooooo much for taking the time to not only answer my question, but everyone elses' as well~what a treat! I've actually paged thru the William Boyd book, but didn't read it 'cause I wasn't sure about it. I will definitely pick it up and read it now~thanks so much!! Good luck on the rest of your touring cycle and please, please, please come to Charlotte~the Queen City will love you guys!!!! (Or I will, anyway, lol!!!)
Thank you Richard!!!! It´s utterly brilliant♥
Haha, amazing questions too! thanks for ask it, and that you have answer it Tim! Xxx Priscilla from Holland
Hi, Tim... First, thanks for the links about T-shirts ! Creation has no limits indeed, and there too are a lots of talented people in drawing/painting/writing... Oh dear, I'm never green with envy about money but I drool of admiration on all this kind of talents and including music of course... Good questions once again, and good point of view about work in collaboration with other artists... In brief, you're open-minded, thoughtful, attentive and respectful but only when you're not a pain or apparently as stubborn as a mule ! So, regardless of some nasty headbutt, you're the ideal guy indeed ☺!!!...
Love the additional insite on you guys. Thanks, Tim, for taking the time. We fans do appreciate it! Sherry, Michigan, USA.
Thanks Tim :) I loved it!

That you've "read Asterix in Belgium quite a few times" is purely commendable. Good work, songwriter. That's quality stuff. But in all seriousness, I am amazed by your consistent quality of songwriting. I will be humming your melodies as long as I live, and isn't that really something? All the best.
Salut athalie! Merci! Quand à mon amie il s'agit d'une ancienne voisine que j'ai perdue de vue mais j'ai entendu parler de ce qui lui est arrivé sous les mains des militaires avant d'être emprisonnée. Son mari n'a pas été épargné. Aux dernières nouvelles il était dans le coma.Tout cela est loin d'être réjouissant. Je te dis quand même bon weekend et au revoir.
MarioKart Wii ? Haha, great ! Maybe one day i'll meet you during an online battle ^^ Great interview by the way. Thank you very much !
Lovely :D
Thank you Tim, those answers are brilliant! I'm loving it! And thanks for the books suggestion! I will read them this summer, sounds like a wonderful vacation plan, right? Cheers! This Q&A session is so much fun, let's do it again soon, shall we? haha~~~Take care, Have a nice day!
The questions have been cool and original's. Now I must wait for the next quiz to Richard, I have some questions for him. we'll see if I'm lucky. hehe Enjoy the weekend! Love from Buenos Aires. Uma xx

Great questions and answers! I only wish Julie Andrews hadn't been mentioned. I might have to make time to pop in my "Sound of Music" sing-along dvd. I know, I'm a geek!!! I'm still in love with the Captain...
Ha, it's fun to read these! Gotta say that I love "Fly to Me"... I was thrilled when I found it! Saw you guys in St Paul and you were amazing; can't wait to see you in Winnipeg!
@bandiera a B-SIDE album sounds ace, oh please you must do that tim. great questions and great answers too.
Mario Kart Wii's awesome, lol :D
I love the questions you've posted ! Thanks for the answers Tim ! I'm glad you've mentionned Belgium, the country of comics, chocolate, beers... and ME !! hahahaha
Hey Tim, it would be wonderful if you would edit the Wikipedia entry yourself and put the facts straight, maybe add a few nuggets of detail, 'cos it's not as if you are giving up your privacy as it's already out there! How about it? xxxx
Oh! my question is not there, I am very sad jojo is a joke! Tim thanks for the responses and the time devoted to your fans XOXO
ooooooown, my question was not answered... Thanks for everything, Tim ! ;) *-*
Thank you so very very much for answering my question, Tim. anyway, a Bside album sounds really cool =D _Febri FEYA_
Thanks Richard.. ! Great interview !!! TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
Thanks so much Tim. Your covers are fabulous - please continue with them and your other "hidden gems". Know they are appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed!
Hey Tim! Oh...you didn`t answer my question :(...But I`m so happy...`cause it`s great to get to know you better. And I`m even happier...`cause now I know that you may read this comment, and it`s so wonderful! I took a look at those stores you said...and there are some really cool T-Shirts over there...I`m trying to find that one you use, "Let`s put the fun back into fundamental"...you wore it here in Sao Paulo, and I think it`s really stylish :) I made a drawing of you...but I have to fix some stuff, when I do I`ll send it to you! Kisses from Aline, Sao Paulo
haha thats right.. and if you google Tim Rice-Oxley without the dash, there's a pic of a baby Tim awwwwwwwwwww hee was a gorgeous baby *___*
Oooh, another bunch of quite nice questions and answers... I'm very glad to read that Thin Air is your favourite song, Timmy; I'm in love with it:)) Moreover, I think you should try that artwork thing, I'm sure you have many more talents other than music inside you...maybe you may create the next Keane album cover, which could be very nice:))) Lots of love from Moshie xxx
hi, hi!!... great questions people!! :D ... now we need to ask thngs to Rich, Tom and Jesse!! ... jaja... Asterix?!! I used to watch the cartoon at the tv with my sister !! :-) lovely !! I also love These Days' cover... I'd really like you to sing something by U2 or The Beatles ... I'd sound fantastic by you ;) KISSES!!
OMG U2 At The End Of The World?? I know I've seen a picture of Tim on a plane with it in his hands but I didn't think Tim has read it over & over & over! You don't know how that makes me feel! My 2 favorite bands interconnecting ALL THE TIME makes my heart burst inside my chest! Your so awesome Tim! I'm also glad you really love Thin Air, that song does not deserve to be hidden in a hard to reach place, it should have been Track 1 on an album! Hey, how about a B-Sides Album?? That way all your beautiful gems are never tucked away again! Ok, I'm talking nonsense......... Thank you so much km.com & TIMMEH!!!! Can 't wait to see you again in September! :D LOVE YA TO PIECES!!!!
OH... TIM... A WEIRD PASSING VISION OF YOU SPINNING ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AT THE HILLTOP JUST WENT TRHOUGH MY MIND... SCARY...
Thanks for answering the last questions Tim!! It was really cool to read! Thanks and have fun during the upcoming gigs!
If he Googled himself without the dash (i.e. Tim Rice Oxley) then the first photo that comes up under images is one of me with him. Not sure how that happened, but it's one of my most fun factoids I like to throw out there. :-)
Oh fly to me is also one of my favorite songs ( : greaaat lob u tim ( : love regis keane
I've always wonder if Wikipedia info is reliable...
@athallie: Hi!! Yeah... What a pity for B-sides :(
Salut Mihajasoa, j'espère vraiment que ton ami s'en sortira. Bon week-end
Really ? Never never ? Poor "Thin air"...."the way you want it".... "a heart to hold you"...Poor songs...it is so cruel.
I'm Loving it ;) Thank you Tiim for all your answers, they made me smile :) And i Love the birthday card Q!! haha . alice xx
Ok....message reçu :( But you must know that the FLBS ( B-SIDES LIBERATION FRONT) don't agree with you. Think of this poor B-sides hidden, forgotten, alone, which want to be famous, rich...etc....poor little B-sides...forever in the gloom...poor Keaners, poor people who will never discover them :( Mon dieu que c'est triste !!! :(((((
Fantastic interview! Thanks to the one who typed the 30 questions and answers. Have a nice break guy! I like the idea of gems being hidden away. Hopes and Fears is a good title. Not only it's appropriate for a debut album but it has a universal appeal too. I'm trying to imagine what impact Tom's suggestion would have had on my perception of the album but the title H&F is definitely linked to the album in my mind so my mind is blank.Thanks again! Waiting for the next interview. Have a nice show!
Spoon Full Of Sugar? Huh, Interesting. Oh well, mine wasn't picked, but thanks for the brillant answers! Lovin' you Tim
Hi Tim! i must say that I totally agree with you that MarioKart Wii is pretty brilliant to play. Specially when you have lots of friends to play with! =)

HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ************** I ENJOYED much both questions and answers and would like to suggest Tim a book called Crime and Punishemment (not sure of the spelling), Dostoiévski.
