We're back with the second batch of Tim's answers to the questions which you very kindly sent in. Check back tomorrow for the final ten.
You have so many freaky T-shirts ( for example the one with the zebra on it), well, where do you get these shirts?
Jana
Tim replies: I recommend a company called to-orist, and another one called graniph.
Heey! Why do you guys always finish the shows with Bedshaped?
Beatriz Russano from São Paulo, Brazil.
Tim replies: It’s such a gargantuan song, with so much passion and soul-searching, that nothing else can follow it. We’ve tried, but it’s so final that it has to be at the end of something. Some songs are just like that. Atlantic always feels like it should start a section, for example.
Hi Tim, I was just wondering what you remember as being the best gig Keane has ever played at?
Katie from San Francisco
Tim replies: There have been some great ones lately. The two Sydney gigs were pretty phenomenal. The second O2 show in February was very special to us because we were really in danger of having to cancel. Tom was really sick and his voice was already going by halfway through the previous night at the same venue. He got a shot of steroids the next day but it didn’t seem to make any difference. Then about ten minutes before we went onstage the drugs kicked in! Tom was still really ill but we all gave it everything we had and it turned out to be a really great show. It felt like a real victory for us.
What color is your toothbrush?
Ellen Y, Seattle
Tim replies: Green and white. I need to get a new one actually, thanks for reminding me.
Do you ever read the fan comments on km.com, and if so, what sort of feelings do they generally stir?
Mandy
Tim replies: Yes, quite often. I like to know whether people are leaving shows feeling happy or unsatisfied. Generally people say amazing things on km.com, and that’s very encouraging for us.
I feel very proud of our fans. It’s a great community of people all over the world, and the website and forum are both intelligent, positive places still, unlike many such forums that descend into weirdness and negativity very quickly. We genuinely feel grateful for all the love and support we get on the website and elsewhere – Keane fans are incredibly loyal and very generous, and I’m glad to be a part of that.
Which is the place or country that you want to visit and you haven't?
Alejandro Arriola from Guatemala
Tim replies: Oh, there are plenty. Guatemala, obviously! Peru. New Zealand. India. China. It’s a big world and it feels like we’ve barely got started.
Who is saying what at the end of The Lovers Are Losing? I've always wanted to know!
Thanks, Grace
Tim replies: That was me saying to Tom, “We should get some Under Pressure-style finger-clicks on here”. Jake (who engineered the album) chopped it up and slowed it down, so it just says “Get some Under Pressure style” in a weird voice.
What makes a great show “great”? With so many gigs in so many cities and countries to call upon, what makes a certain gig really stand out from the rest?
Greg USA
Tim replies: The first thing is feeling that we’ve given everything and played the best we possibly could. The rest is kind of down to luck and a good atmosphere in the crowd. Sometimes you just get a magical vibe on stage and in the crowd, and everything just feels exciting. You never know what it’s going to be like when you hit the stage, which I guess it what makes playing live endlessly exciting.
Do you ever get a sore neck after a gig?
From, Tom
Melbourne, Australia
Tim replies: Yes! It aches the whole time. Sometimes I feel like my brain’s going to come out of my ears, and occasionally I get really dizzy (especially after Is It Any Wonder? and Again And Again) and can hardly stand up straight on stage! Probably not that good for me in the long run, but you just get caught up in the moment.
One of my favourite Keane songs is The Happy Soldier but I read somewhere that you won't re-release it as your views have changed. If this is true, I was wondering what the song is about? and how have your views changed?
From Imyy, UK
Tim replies: That’s not the case. It’s a song about a soldier being afraid and wondering why he’s off fighting some pointless war far from his home. I suppose the lyrics are very tongue-in-cheek, which makes them open to misinterpretation. It was one of the first songs I wrote and it’s a subject I still return to a lot, for example in A Bad Dream. I think we may even release it very soon!

Very nice!
Thank you km.com, for this interview and for approaching a bit more our darlings integral of Keane! .Thank you Tim, really I have laughed very much with your answers, but please! Look after your the neck, which supports a great tresure..... Your ideas and your creativity... And on Beshaped, it is true, is a totally organic song and that flows between the public and you as the water of the oceans on which so much you compose... Thank you Keane! And thank you for your talent Tim ..... xx P.S: I can't wait for the dessert !
I love it when you do things like this - it makes the fans feel that we are more included, and I love that. Thank you :D
Great questions everyone! And Tim, loved your answers!
Another vote for New Zealand, and Icebreakers - I agree, @Nico, they rock! Though I suspect the designs on their shirts may not be freaky enough for our Tim. Heh.
SO SORRY...OR NOT... FEELS LIKE SPRINGTIME TO ME...
SNACK?
JESSE: I´D LIKE TO KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT YOU. I ONLY GOT A FEW CLUES... YES!!!! I´M CURIOUS...
Please, sing My Shadow tomorrow @ TW Classic ! =))
TOM... HOW ARE YOU?
Thanks, Tim for your great answers. I liked the answer about the toothbrush (now there will be a big spree on green & white toothbrush in supermarkets!) and thanks for the t-shirt address recommendation. @Jana: thanks for asking about Tim's T-shirts coz I love them, especially the zebra one! @Beatriz Russano: thanks for asking about the choice of Bedshaped as final song by KEANE at their gigs. @everybody : have a nice day! I'm looking forward to the 3rd part!
DEVIL INSIDE BY INXS. FRUSTRATION IS GETTING SO HARD TO HANDLE.
Hey Grace!!! Im glad you asked about the lovers are losing!!!! I have stuck my ear to the loudspeaker(Or whatever its name is, I mean the thing the sound comes from :P ) loads of times and rewind and rewind, but I gave up because I thought: OK, English is not even my native lenguage, so probably I will never understand, and then I tried to google it, you know, one never knows what can be found on the internet..but I didn't succeed...hahaha thanks!! And thanks for your answers TIM, I LIKE KEANE BECAUSE OF ITS PEACEFUL AND Don'tHurtNobody-STYLE, AND BECAUSE YOUR SONGS ARE ABOUT MORE STUFF THAN ONLY COUPLE LOVE, BUT MORE IMPORTANT, BECAUSE YOU SPEAK OUT WHAT YOU REALLY MEAN, THANKS A LOT FOR SHARING YOURSELVES
thanks for answering my question! It was a great answer too! (btw, I love Again & Again)
awesome questions! thanks for answering, tim! :) this reminded me that I should probably change my toothbrush too--lol!
@Gudrun - Some would even try to fly over from Oregon if Keane were to play the most beautiful city of VIENNA! :)
I would be so thrilled if you officially released The Happy Soldier!! I LOVE this song, but just have a bad youtube recording because it's the only one I could get. And I highly recommend New Zealand - we were lucky enough to visit for the first time this spring, and it's amazing. I'm now an Icebreaker addict. Thanks for this Q&A, Tim and km, by the way, it's great! :)
Yeah! The second part! I'm really glad you guys actually take the time to read our comments. That means a lot to us, really. You're the best. Go Keane go! x
awww your so sweet Tim ( : love Regis Keane
"The two Sydney gigs were pretty phenomenal."...seriously?aawww thats awesome tim!!it WAS LEGENDARY!!!its been months since the gig but i still have the post-gig fever until today no joke!!so glad to be apart of it in both nights....tom's gazelle leap,2nd encore of Under Pressure and most importantly meeting YOU tim!!!come back to sydney already guys!!!we need you!!!!lots of love from Sydney town xoxo
Ohh yes!!! PERU PERU!!! thanks KEANE!!!
I am glad Beatriz was brave enough to ask the burning tshirt question! Tim always wears stuff that looks so comfy and soft (I often wonder if him and Tom order the same shirts in different colors...). Many thanks for your answers Tim :)
oh man. i havent laughed this much in ages!!! gonna get you a neck brace for when i next see you....lol so thats hobnobs and a neck brace...check. :-) mmmm what to get tom? a trampoline perhaps?
Thank you Tim!!! I especially like the question -- "Which is the place or country that you want to visit and you haven't?" by Alejandro Arriola from Guatemala, thanks!!!..... Ah!!! Is Keane going to visit China? ... I live in Guangzhou as well as some fans, and Rainborn lives in Taiwan.........and HongKong, Beijing, Shanghai, etc.......Oh, please...... 'cause we've waited more than 5 years... I think it's time for Keane to have Asia Tour, since you decide to go to Lebanon, Dubai, Russia, Japan..., and I wish to see km.com announce the surprising, exciting, astonishing, amazing news about Asia some day! as well as Richard's Asian Photoblog! ....Love and support from Chinese fans. -- Syrinx from Guangzhou, CHINA
Tim, I'm amazed to know you read our comments ! Now I'm even more excited abou km.com ! Hahahaha You're so sweet... Tha last concert in Rio was awesome, I cried a lot but still great ! I love Keane because your art inspire me ! Love you ! ;*
WOW ! really awesome questions and answers :)
Tim, thank you sooo much for so kind and humorous answers, I have to thank also the inspired questions particularly the one from our Brazilian Beatriz \o/ Can't wait for the next batch of questions, one of mine was about your T-shirts too, I asked about that one with the "LET'S PUT THE FUN BACK INTO FUNDAMENTAL" which still is my favorite, but I'm having some fun with the sites you mentioned and thinking about to buy at least a couple of them LOL. Lots of love from Brasil always, The Frog Prince Squad loves you so much!
Thanks Tim :) I was at the concert in Berlin yesterday and it was an absolutely amazing show!!!!!!!!! It's beyond words! Thank u so much! x
@jammy8758...Congrats on km.com picking your question- I loved it! I thought of some silly questions myself, but didn't have the guts to submit them. Anyway, I think many of us got a good laugh out of it. A good sense of humor is never a bad thing!
Heyy... Great interview, Tim !!! TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
TIM- Wow! Great questions! As much as I get a thrill watching you rock out on stage I hope you'll be careful with your neck! The pain you're in afterwords can't be good and I'd hate to see you injure yourself! I was pleasantly surprised that you read fan comments on km.com! Of course I know you don't read them all but the fact that you care what your fans are saying is lovely! And finally knowing what is being said at the end of The Lovers are Losing is awesome! (And I must say quite hilarious!) Thanks for taking the time to answer our burning questions! Hugs from Esther in Salt Lake City, UT, USA
Haha! I've always wondered if you get a sore neck? I used to think that you didn't have a spinal collum
greats question!
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS...AND THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS. I LOVE YOU FOREVER KEANE. I'M A REALLY BIG BEATLES-FAN AND YOU ARE GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THAT LEVEL....
I love "Leaving so soon"? I'm a big fan of Keane I'm your fan Nº 1
From Mexico Tim I have a question and this is: What do you think when you wrote "Leaving So Soon"?? I love your music Keane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG THEY USED MY QUESTION! I was being silly and asked what color his toothbrush was... didn't think they'd take it seriously! Awww this just made my day!
Tim, I'm amazed to know you read our comments ! Now I'm even more excited abou km.com ! Hahahaha You're so sweet... Tha last concert in Rio was awesome, I cried a lot but still great ! I love Keane because your art inspire me ! Love you ! ;*
thanks tim!
Tim, You're Great!!! Kisses From Mexico, City!!!
(( Another Great Selection of Great Questions)) Anticipating the last round..Thank You for being very open with your answers..
@angelika: Well said! That was beautiful!
thanks very much KM.com and Tim !!!!!!!!!! This is great, and keep going better !!!!! I'm looking forward for pt 3!!!
You're simply the best Timmy! Your words are brilliant, thank you so much for them! It was so amazing to know that the second night of The O2 gig in february was one of your favourites, I was there and it was magical to me, the hole night was like a dream! The best gig of my life with no doubt. I live in Brazil and to see you guys on that huge stage in UK was one of the best things that have ever happened to me! Thanks for your kind words about your fans, we just give you back all the love that you guys give to us! Supersize love and kisses on the cheek.
Tim, Thanks for some courteous words and recognition in regard to the audience and the fans... That goes without saying that people are amazingly attached to ♥KEANE♥ !... By the way, we already knew that you're very clean-looking but it's funny to notice your concern about cleanliness when you're talking that you really urge to have a bath (when back at home after a long tour), or simply that you need to change the toothbrush by now... ;o) That's the real life, that !!! Night-night...
No wonder that an intelligent, positive and engaged band whose members have generous hearts full of love has got a such a website and forum and fans. It's a perfect symmetry - what I do will be done to me. So please keep on walking down that path - I am trying to do the same in my life. Angie
Tim!!! I´m really glad reading your aswers thats makes me know you a little more it´s fascinating... I really admires you!!! Thanx for all that beautiful songs!!
Was The Happy Soldier played in collaboration with K'naan? It would have been a good idea...
Personally, I don't like so much the last part of Happy Soldier, A Bad Dream is so much better!! The voice of Tom sounds gorgeous... And absolutely love Atlantic!! It's such a great song!! Richard is a genious in the drums...
Hey Tim!! Why don't you re-release your better b-sides!! You have so many amazing b-sides!! Please... Waiting for the last part of questions tomorrow... HUGE HUGS FROM CHILE :)
what?? my message was longer... what happened??? :S ... well, let's write the end again: I love the line "I don't want to be old and sleep alone" I think it's brilliant... noone wants to be alone ... !
I'm not a fan of The Happy Soldier, but it's a great topic... I like all that kind of songs!!... and I love Crystall Ball, I think it's a really deep song...!!! and I also love the sea (the water in general) that's one of the reasons 'cause I like your music... specially Atlantic :) it really touchs me!! ...
! SO, you put ugly colours in the website, you listen questionable music (Brytney & her friends), you don’t pay the moderators and....you make Tom work ill !!!!!! non mais ça va pas ?! Keane’s team is a disaster… ;) Good night Tom, take care, have a rest (i am telling that, as a pure fan self-interested :) )
@Gudrun: In response to your first comment on this page, you're very welcome! I feel very fortunate that it was chosen. It's great to know that the ardent professions of love and support by many fans may occasionally reach the intended recipients! What a great answer. Keane forever!
i didnt realise till i was just on Youtube that our Tom has a cold but by a miracle as he put he hasnt lost his voice please god dont let that happen im always getting colds/flu it must b the change in weather but if i had the flu i wouldnt come 2 a gig as its not fair 2 pass on 2 everyone ive got asthma and i was cold/flu free when i was at the 02 arena on feb 12th this year i didnt even need me inhaler when i was shouting, screaming, dancing and playing the tambourine, i thought i might get hot/bothered but i was OK.Wish u better Tom X luv u Richy X Tim X Jesse X.
@anya: Someone named Tom (thank you!) asked Tim the "piano-lash" question (not using that precise terminology, though)!! Our concerns have been confirmed! Tim, thank you for being so dedicated in your performances. You're so much fun to watch, and I truly hope your brain stays centered where it should be. If you get dizzy and fall, we’ll be there to catch you! :)
i just love the happy soldier....play it over and over again while im doing the housework.
@ GraceBL/deleted : be sure to log in properly, if the problem still occurs please let me know asap. ;)
I'm so glad you didnt have to cancel the second o2 gig!! Both London gigs were amazing :D Best gigs I've ever been to :)

Great questions! they are verry good! Xxx Priscilla from Holland
A Sachertorte is coming along wherever I go to meet friends in Keane. It comes in a nice wooden box, and the Keane boys could store all the letters they get from the fans therein, but only if they COME TO VIENNA!
Goood, MY QUESTION!! IT'S THE SECOND ONE! I can't believe it was chosen. Thanks a lot, really. I loved all the questions and even more the answer of my one. Thanks guys, I love you. ♥
oh and thank you a lot for your time ... answering our question is so great !!! ... hope you don't mind about our little delirium... but you know ... "still crazy after all these years...." thank you to dunnot forget the torte...in vienna...
@gudrun and tim...keane vienna sachertorte that's all we need!!!!
Thanks, Tim. It was interesting to read your answers to all those questions asked by the fans. As to your future tour dates : a combination of Keane gig and Sacher Torte - I'd love that, please.
Another thing: universal has something to do with quality not quantity.
Tim , you are a genius...brilliant writer and musician
Tim, I have a green and white toothbrush too :D :P haha...
Heyy... Great interview, Tim !!! TOM, I LOVE YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!! Raissa. Brazil - São Paulo.
Last but not least, the universal quality of music is best expressed with good music. In other words, the better music is, the more likely it is of becoming universal. That's a disguised tribute to your talent. But I hope your egos won't get inflated.
Rereleasing The Happy Soldier very soon? You seem to working a lot of remixes in the dark, I hope we'll get some sort of album of just remixes & unreleased songs Timmeh! That would be FANTABULOUS!!! Glad to know I was part of one of the best gigs you've ever done :D And awwwwwwwwwwww Tim WE LOVE YOU TOO!!! *hugs*
TIM SOS MEGARCHIREQUETERECONTRA GROSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! SABELO!!!!!!!
The article "a" may be better than "the".
*-----* !!!! i love keane xD
Yayaya!! Thanks for answering my question.....Please do re-release the Happy Solider!!!! Great questions guys and great answers Tim!! Thanksss again..x
I'm also glad of being part of km.com's great community all over the world. Its global reach is the proof that " music is the universal language of mankind". Thanks for the second batch of questions. Good luck for tomorrow at the Southside Festival!
Thank you! Great questions and great answers! I was really happy to find out that Tim does read the comments here :) We love you Tim!
@.@ =D interesting answers to interesting questions, don't you think so? lots of love from México TIM!!!!!which one of you guys is gonna be the next!!??
Please go to Vienna. You can stay at the famous Sacher Hotel and eat Sacher Torte there!
Great questions everyone and Thank you Tim! Thanks especially for answering the TLAL question. I drive myself crazy trying to figure stuff like that out! Oh and Tim if you're reading- I think you selected the Bat for Lashes song on the radio takeover- LOVE love the cd so thanks! Thanks again km.com and Tim.....off to purchase a green & white toothbrush, that is if there are any left ;D

Smart questions for a smart and beautiful person
Tim Thank you again! KissKeane LucianaBrazil (THE FROG PRINCE SQUAD)
I am soo getting a green and white toothbrush now! 87 Days 'till KEANE
Thanks, Ladies Sam and Jan, for your support! You make my day! ( This even makes up for the toothbrush-question that was considered worth asking :)
The main thing for me that sets Keane apart from other artists is simply the amount of PASSION that goes into everything they do... I had never enjoyed a concert so much in my LIFE as the one in Chicago, until I went to Philly and had a repeat experience (who would have thought it possible!?!). So, in my humble opinion, Tim, a sore neck is TOTALLY worth it for the amount of joy you all give us through your music and performances. Thank you soo sooo much!
Just to make a small comment on Katie's question and Tim's answer: I went to the Feb 13th gig at the O2 and REALLY enjoyed it: it was so good, I didn't realise Tom was ill! Really enjoyed the concert and well done to you guys for carrying on with it, it was fantastic. xanthemj
hahaa my toothbrush is also green and white xD very good questions and obviously the answers too. thanks Tim, for taking the time to do this kisses from Chile
he wants to visit peru?? YES!! tour pleeeeease?? i've already see one of your shows (london ftw!) but seen you here wouldn't suck AT ALL!! :P
you guys are still having quite a few gigs for the next few months,please rest well and take care of youselves! we won't want y'all to fall sick due to the intensive touring! :)
Hahaha I never thought the voice of 'The Lovers Are Losing' would be Tim saying that to Tom! xD hahaha I imagined something VERY different xD. Yeah! Peru is waiting for Keane!!!! I hope in the next tour you can visit peruvian fans. And please don't forget to include Colombia again! :D
Oh, yes, please, come to China and Taiwan, they're longing for you, really !!!!! Oh, I have to change my toothbrush too !!!! lol. Kisses from Charlotte in Paris
Great questions and great answers, Tim! Lots of love from Brazil! Kisses! Bye!
good to know about happy soldier's news , a song barely heard . i understand already wahts's about but not bad an explanation.... kisses for you all
One question:When do you come to thailand? I waiting for Keane aboout 3 years But Keane never come back to thailand again T^T
What color is your toothbrush? Lol!!!! very nice questions!
TIMMYYY, i love and your songs! i just wish you could answer my questions D: mine is the one about if it hurts when the crowd is really weak and you everything youve got nto aperformance..... anyways MAKE MY SHADOW YOUR NEXT SINGLE! and please release a new music vid soon :D love you tim! [and tom and rich] COME BACK TO NY!
I am so happy to know what you are saying at the end of The Lovers Are Losing! That really cheered me up haha. I also graduated from highschool today, so I've got a double amazing day!!! ^^ xxx Maaike
@Tim and Gudrun...some would accompany the lovely lady from Lincolnshire to VIENNA!!! xx
thank you keane fans for the great questions and Tim for the answers.
Sore neck, awesome!
I think you guys should totally post my question about pandas.
@TIM and Gudrun - some would even fly from Lincolnshire!!!
Ohhhh!!! part 2! No we now that Mr R-O got dizzy after the shows!!! I thought he was superhuman or something. Common people can endure do that every day! xD Cheers from Chille!
¡Qué bien! Yo quería saber eso de las poleras lindas y originales de Tim. Gracias Jana! ... Le hecharé un viztazo a los sitios que recomendó Tim, qué lindo detalle de parte suya. Todas las preguntas están muy buenas y las respuestas igual. ¡Tim, debes cambiar tu cepillo de dientes que está todo "chascón"! jajaja... Saludos a todos. Daniela (Chile)
Thanks again Tim, great questions and answers, and the first night at the O2 was fantastic even with Tom being sick, I will never forget it - the only pity was that I was the only one in my area that was dancing, I felt like a bit of a clown. Still, the Island 50 gig made up for that - thanks to everyone who went and danced ;) I can't wait for the next Q&A tomorrow.
oh we would LOVE a re-realease of The Happy Soldier! I love that song so much already. These questions are really great...and some are really funny, like the toothbrush one haha. now i'm kind of wishing i sent a question in, but i didn't think i'd come up with one that was good enough to be answered...lol. But anyway, thank you so much, Tim, for taking your time to answer your fans' questions! :D
Thanks! Tim! and Please come to Korea!!! Please!!! I'm waiting for you,guys!!
All of your bodies must take alot of abuse while on stage and traveling so much. One of the things I love about Keane is the way you get into your music and lose yourselves. Your videos and especially your live performances are so exciting to be a part of. Thank you for coming along in my lifetime Keane!!
"I think we may even release it very soon! " PLEASE :D
The thing with the neck sore - I thought of it after I saw you in Munich 2008!
Taiwan...Taiwan...Please, don't forget Taiwan...
Oh, I bet some of our fan-comments on km.com make you cringe, ( thanks for the question, Mandy!), but at least I have hope now that you read this: PLEASE COME AND PLAY VIENNA AGAIN! A lot of people from the south-eastern part of Europe would come to see you, some would even fly in from Sofia ;) !
dude i already knew that you had to have brain damage / sore neck after a concert. dude you have to stop before your head falls off
hey all, we r all waiting u here in Beirut at 6th of July.. u can't imagine how many fans u have over here!! we simply love your music, and we are expecting the unexpected in Byblos Festival.... thanks for choosing Lebanon! Bilal
Hey Tim!! Great answers again. Thank you!! I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who didn't know why Bedshaped is always the final song... And it's really a powerful song!! Absolutely agree with Atlantic too (one of my favorites of UTIS). Well, I think you must end gigs not only with sore neck, but with your left foot almost injured!! Well, Richard must have sore neck after every gig too!! Thanks for answering about TLAL mysterious final phrase also :) You must be sure we all are proud of being KEANE fans!! A HUGE HUG FROM CHILE :)
whoaaaa...Bedshaped is one of most fav Keane song...can hardly wait to see you guys perform here in Indonesia, thank you Tim for all your fantastic answer, be wait up for another ones:D
thank you Tim, you're the best musician ever! this questions feels like i've wrote them all, because are the ones I always wanted to know (now the one I actually sent looks stupid). hope you have a nice time around there, this was amazing when you came here!
ah! I always wanted to know what was that strange line at the end of TLAL, and I was going to ask the same thing haha, well finally I know: “Get some Under Pressure style". Brilliant questions!! Thanks for taking the time to answer all of them. Kisses from Mexico. :)
Oh wow...thanks TIm!!!.....I'm happy about THE HAPPY SOLDIER being release soon....wow, didn't expect that...I love that song...HugsAndKissesToKeane
Thanks so much, Tim!! That's really nice Q&A:) I'm happy to get to know about T-shirts.(The second shop is very near my town:)
Hello Tim and thank you again. I just want to talk about that sore neck of yours because I'm studying to be a physical therapist and I would be more than happy to give you a massage and sort it out for you after every gig :-) And I'm sure the that the other members of the band would like it to (at least I hope so :-/ !!!). Love from Portugal***
Thanks Tim! i love you Tom!
HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ************ Very great questions and answers! I also like much The Happy Soldier, by the way! I am busy now watching USA losing the match with Brasil playing now and... tow goals, heeee! So far... Bye, second round! LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! xXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A million thanks Tim ! I liked in particular the answer about Tom.He always believe that is possible and giving us the best in great performances.Much love,respect and admiration for u Tom,The words you sing ring to the heart and your voice is awesome.Success Keane ! Have a good day off.
Quite nice questions, I really liked them. Some of them were the questions which had been always on my mind, but could never be turned into questions, and I'm glad to learn their answers. Thanks very much Tim, for being patient and answering our questions, and checking the site regularly for reading our comments:)) Lots of love from Moshie xxx
TIM !! Thanks!! I always wondering if you ever read the keane fans´s comments. Now, I do. I love you guys !! From Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Seriously, you thought the toothbrush question was ldecent enough to ask? How about his favorite color? Or his favorite biscuit?? WTF? Give me a break.
Good questions and real good answers to match (Y) Indeed, us Keane fans are lovely and faithful :P hehe, xx
Thanks!!! Waiting for last set of questions!!! Love you guys!!!
i always feel kind of sorry for your leg after a gig ....: )
Who is saying what at the end of The Lovers Are Losing? I've always wanted to know! Thanks, Grace Tim replies: That was me saying to Tom, “We should get some Under Pressure-style finger-clicks on here”. Jake (who engineered the album) chopped it up and slowed it down, so it just says “Get some Under Pressure style” in a weird voice. Yeah good question!
Ohh, dear!!!!! To-orist and Graniph will win so many clients now!!!! Thanks Tm, it was a lovely interview and we want more!!!!!!
What an enjoyable read it was :) And as to places to visit, there's a lot of European countries that still haven't seen Keane. Hope you guys remember about these places even when going somewhere far far away.
Wow. These questions are really fantastic! Great combination of serious and silly-toothbrush- haha made me smile. PLEASE RELEASE HAPPY SOLDIER!!!! One of the best songs...one of my favourites!!! Thanks so much for the answers Tim!

Hi Tim, More great questions and well thought out responses from you. Feeling doubtful that you will reply to my question, but still enjoying reading these comments. I am so glad you mentioned the 02 2nd gig as a favourite as this was the one that I attended and it was awesome. I never would have known that Tom was ill as his performance was incredible. I can't put into words how much I love your music! xxxx.
Thanks!

"I think we may even release it very soon! " This is extremely great to hear.
